Background – Advancing the development of highly efficacious and long-lasting malaria vaccines is hampered by incomplete knowledge of protective immune mechanisms and an absence of established correlates of immunity. Antibody avidity is frequently evaluated as an indicator of a high-quality or protective antibody response to vaccination. However, the importance of avidity in vaccine-induced immuni

This study is a qualitative case analysis based on fieldwork and multiple semi-structured interviews in Tolima, Colombia. It investigates the community level of the Development Program with a Territorial-based Focus (DPTF) in the south of the department. The program is a result of the peace agreement that was signed between the Colombian government and the guerrilla group the Revolutionary Armed F

Streptococcus pyogenes is an exclusively human pathogen that can provoke mild skin and throat infections but can also cause fatal septicemia. This gram-positive bacterium has developed several strategies to evade the human immune system, enabling S. pyogenes to survive in the host. These strategies include recruiting several human plasma proteins, such as the complement inhibitor, C4b-binding prot

Popular Abstract in Swedish Jätteplaneterna, Jupiter, Saturnus, Uranus och Neptunus, är de största planeterna i solsystemet. De ligger långt från solen och har alla betydande gasatmosfärer, upp emot hundra gånger mer massiva än hela jorden. Tack vare de tjocka gashöljena, med en sammansättning som liknar solens, kan man förstå att jätteplaneterna bildades i en gasskiva. Denna skiva kallas för solGiant planets form embedded in a protoplanetary disc around a young star. Close to the midplane a large fraction of the available mass in solids is found in particles of cm to dm in size, which drift towards the star due to friction with the surrounding gas. In paper I, II, III we describe a novel theory that explains how embryos, planetesimals larger than ~1000 km, grow efficiently by sweeping up

Popular Abstract in English Lions (Panthera leo) have become known to be synonymous with wild Africa since its extinction from most parts of its former range (Europe, Asia and Southern America). Few people realize that anthropogenic activities have caused habitat loss, fragmentation and reduction in size to the lions, forcing them to the brink of extinction. Whenever out in nature, most tourists tHigh growth rate in human populations, agricultural developments and industrialization have impinged negatively on the natural habitats of most large carnivores, causing fragmentation, isolation and consequently reduction in population size. Lions (Panthera leo) that once roamed most parts of Southern Europe, Asia, the Middle East, North America, northern part of South America and most parts of Af

Moraxella catarrhalis is a human-specific commensal of the respiratory tract and an opportunistic pathogen. It is one of the leading cause of otitis media in children and of acute exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, resulting in significant morbidity and economic burden. Vaccines and new immunotherapeutic strategies to treat this emerging pathogen are needed. Comp

Someone who throws away their rubbish on a street-corner or in a ditch is guilty of sloth. This may appear harmless, but seen through the lens of waste management, sloth soon develops into a deadly sin that harms other people’s lives and health. Hiding and forgetting waste has always been a practice with potentially disastrous consequences; buried containers full of toxins will eventually start to

BackgroundViolence is a major public health concern with a significant impact on the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. Living in a new environment without parental control and experimenting with new lifestyles may increase the risk of violence among university students. Therefore, this study aimed to assess exposure to violence and its associated factors among univer

The aim of this thesis was by a comparative study investigate the small Roman bust found in Västra Vång to increase the understanding of the context is which it was created. The comparative study was leaning on two hypotheses; that the bust was depicted with a so-called melon coiffure and that the bust was a depiction of a barbarian. Two catalogues was created on the basis of these hypotheses to b

Polyamide 6 (PA6) is known to absorb water from its environment due to its chemical structure. The water absorption leads to changes in the mechanical properties as well as an increase in volume (swelling) of the polyamide. In this work, the sorption and diffusion of water vapor are investigated through gravimetric experiments and numerical simulations. The mixture theory framework is adopted to d
