The chapter examines the Swedish translation of Harriet Martineau's Illustrations of Political Economy (1832-1834) and Poor Laws and Paupers Illustrated (1833-1834). The focus is on the publication process of two Swedish translations of ‘The Hill and the Valley’ (1832) from Illustrations of Political Economy and on the social context of the translation of ‘The Hamlets’ (1833) and ‘The Town’ (1834)

The present contribution addresses a crystal plasticity formulation which incorporates hardening effects that are related to the presence of geometrically necessary dislocations. To this end, higher gradient contributions are introduced as additional arguments of the energy function based on microstructural considerations. Extending the derivations presented in Kaiser and Menzel (2019) for a purel

Resistivity measurements in marine environments have already been tested in Norwegian landscapes in in the detection of subsea fracture zones (Lile et al. 1994; Dalsegg, 2012). Yet, most of the produced data have been processed without taking into account the special conditions created by the presence of seawater. Similar studies outside of Norway (Tsourlos et al., 2001; Satriani et al., 2011; Ruc

Neutrophil influx to mucosal surfaces represents one of the earliest inflammatory responses to mucosal infection. We have been studying external interactions with urinary tract epithelial cells in an attempt to understand the molecular mechanisms behind this process. Uropathogenic Escherichia coli induced urinary tract epithelial cells to secrete the neutrophil chemoattractant interleukin-8 (IL-8)

Epithelial cell lines produce the cytokines IL-1α, IL-6 and IL-8 when stimulated with Escherichia coli. The cytokine response is enhanced by P fimbriae. The epithelial cell lines also respond to stimulation with other cytokines. These in vitro findings were confirmed in vivo in patients with E. coli infection who secreted IL-6 and IL-8 into the urine. The observations suggest that epithelial cells

After a brief discussion on the varying nomenclature applied to the field, this article discusses the two basic orientations: academic and applied. From there, the discussion takes up the sprawling character of the field, underscoring that the field can be conceptually organized in a variety of ways. The main part of the discussion consists of a presentation of four major schools of thought. These

The identification of serum biomarkers for the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases able to reduce the need for invasive tests represents a major goal in their therapy and follow-up. We report here a methodological approach for the evaluation of specific changes in the serum peptides abundance in healthy (H) and Crohn's disease (CD) subjects, based on a label-free LC ESI/Q-TOF differential mas

A diminished capacity to maintain tissue homeostasis is a central physiological characteristic of ageing. As stem cells regulate tissue homeostasis, depletion of stem cell reserves and/or diminished stem cell function have been postulated to contribute to ageing. It has further been suggested that accumulated DNA damage could be a principal mechanism underlying age-dependent stem cell decline. We

This paper studied associations between ocular symptoms, rhinitis, throat and dermal symptoms, headache and fatigue in students by ethnicity and in relation to exposure to chemical microbial markers and fungal DNA in vacuumed dust in schools in Malaysia. A total of 462 students from 8 randomly selected secondary schools in Johor Bahru, Malaysia, participated (96% response rate). Dust was vacuumed

The intestinal mucosa represents the largest body surface toward the external environment and harbors numerous T lymphocytes that take up resident within the intestinal epithelium or in the underlying lamina propria (LP). The intraepithelial lymphocytes include subsets of 'unconventional' T cells with unclear ontogeny and reactivity that localize to this site independently of antigen-specific acti

Levels of nonantigen-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines and prostaglandin in macrophages isolated from human leucocyte antigen (HLA)-matched type 1 diabetes mellitus patients, first-degree relatives and healthy controls were determined. We hypothesize that monocytes isolated from patients are sensitized or preactivated and therefore, have an altered response to in vitro stimulus compared with cont

Pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) in rats, a model for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), is a T cell-dependent disease. However, pristane itself is a lipid and unable to form a stable complex with a MHC class II molecule. Therefore, the specificity and function of the T cells in PIA are as unclear as in rheumatoid arthritis. In this study, we show that activated CD4+ alphabetaT cells, which target periphe

BACKGROUND: Neutrophils and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are suggested to be involved in irreversible myocardial reperfusion injury and stunning. We investigated the relations between circulating biochemical markers and myocardium at risk (MaR), myocardial infarct (MI) size, salvage, and recovery of function in man. METHODS AND RESULTS: In patients undergoing PCI serial blood samples were acquir

We present a novel method for monitoring isothermal lipid hydration using a sorption microcalorimeter. A measuring cell of the double-twin calorimeter consists of two vessels connected by a stainless steel tube. The upper vessel contains pure water, and the bottom vessel is loaded with the lipid sample. This calorimeter allows for simultaneous measurement of the partial molar enthalpy and the chem
