Placental malaria infection is mediated by the binding of the malarial VAR2CSA protein to the placental glycosaminoglycan, chondroitin sulfate. Recombinant subfragments of VAR2CSA (rVAR2) have also been shown to bind specifically and with high affinity to cancer cells and tissues, suggesting the presence of a shared type of oncofetal chondroitin sulfate (ofCS) in the placenta and in tumors. Howeve

Prior research indicates that high negative emotionality in combination with low peer status is conducive of clinically identified problems in childhood. This three-wave longitudinal study examined how negative emotionality and peer status are linked over time in middle and late childhood. Participants were recruited from second grade (n = 90, mean age = 8.85) and fourth grade (n = 119, mean age =

This article provides an overview of the research on morpho-syntactic challenges in Swedish-speaking children with developmental language disorder (DLD), compared with typically developing (TD) children learning Swedish as their first and second language (L1/L2). Children with DLD show vulnerabilities with verb finiteness, the possessive construction, and noun phrase gender agreement, as well as w

Laminated composites have so far received little attention as a potential material for gear drive applications. In the presented study, the thermomechanical performance of a newly developed type of epoxy impregnated, autoclave-cured carbon fibre-reinforced polymer gear—running in pair with a steel pinion—was analysed, using a combination of experimental and numerical approaches. The employed metho

Background and Purpose: Cerebral tissue oxygenation is a critical brain viability parameter, and the magnetic properties of hemoglobin offer the opportunity to noninvasively quantify oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ultrahigh-field MRI shows advantages such as increased sensitivity to magnetic susceptibility differences and improved signal-to-noise ratio that c

Ability to efficiently localize productive foraging habitat is crucial for nesting success of insectivorous birds. Some bird species can use olfaction to identify caterpillar-infested trees by detection of herbivore induced plant volatiles (HIPVs), but these cues probably need to be learned. So far, we know very little about the process of olfactory learning in birds, whether insectivorous species

This paper presents an LO frequency multiplier and phase shifter for the 28-GHz band, implemented in 28nm FD-SOI CMOS technology. The phase control is introduced in an injection-locked oscillator, followed by an injection-locked frequency tripler. The phase of the output signal is compared with that of the input signal using a phase detector based on third harmonic mixing, enabling automatic phase

Uppsatsen undersöker sju journalisters upplevelser av bemanningsföretagens intåg på arbetsmarknaden inom journalistiken. De sju är mellan 25 och 37 år gamla. De har jobbat som journalister mellan ett och tio år och samtliga har varit anställda av bemanningsföretaget Kompetens i Skåne (KIS). Detta företag kommer att läggas ned efter sommaren eftersom ägarna HD-Sydsvenskan inte är i behov av företag

The new CZT camera has a different technology compared to conventional scintillation gamma cameras. The CZT camera have pinholes instead of parallel hole collimators, a static gantry instead of a rotating one and detection material made of a semiconductor in- stead of a scintillation crystal. The images arising from the CZT camera have a difference in appearance compared to the images produced by

För att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser har nationella och internationella mål satts upp som medfört att andelen energi från förnyelsebara intermittenta energikällor kommer att öka. Ett resultat av detta är en mer komplex energimarknad och ett ökat behov av energilagring för att överbrygga gapet mellan produktion och efterfråga i tid och rum. En teknisk lösning som föreslås i Europeiska och Svens

The groundbreaking field of synthetic biology has immense potential to revolutionize our society by reducing our reliance on petroleum. With a growing demand for sustainable ingredients and molecules, companies like Amyris, who have successfully developed and commercialized this technology, are poised to reap significant rewards. I am privileged to work for a scientifically advanced organization t

During evolution the human brain has increased drastically in size compared to that of other primates. However, little is known about primate brain development as it is difficult to study human and primate brains in the laboratory due to the scarcity of tissues. Yet, it is essential to study primate brains and understand the molecular features leading to the human brain’s unique cognitive function

Det allmännas förhållande till såväl medborgare som företag är i stor utsträckning rättsligt reglerat, även vad gäller ekonomiska bidrag till någon av kategorierna. Ideella föreningar faller inte in under någon av dessa typer av rättssubjekt. Mot bakgrund av detta syftar uppsatsen till att utreda hur den rättsliga regleringen av kommunala bidrag till föreningslivet ser ut. Detta görs genom att delThe relations between the public authorities and its citizens and companies are subject to legislation, including financial subsidies from the public authorities to these two groups. Non-profit associations can not be included into either of these. The aim of this paper is to investigate the regulations concerning municipal financial subsidies to non-profit associations. This is done by looking at

Den 14 april i år klubbades ett nytt direktiv igenom i Europaparlamentet. Detta direktiv har som syfte att skydda företagshemligheter från att olagligen anskaffas, utnyttjas eller röjas. Detta ska bidra till ökad innovationsrelaterad gränsöverskridande ekonomisk verksamhet vilket i sin tur ska främja EU:s ekonomi. Företagshemlighetsdirektivet innehåller ett undantag från direktivets åtgärder, förf

Purpose of study: As both innovations and brand loyalty are becoming ever more important for companies today, it is of importance to understand how an organisation can handle the relationship between the explorative and exploitative units when working with these two constructs. The ultimate aim is to understand how service organisations can be managed in order to enhance brand loyalty through serv

As there currently are not so many known studies which directly evaluate how diversity indices have been used in different contexts, following literature study was made with the purpose of investigating how three of the most commonly used diversity indices (including Shannon-Wiener’s and Simpson’s Indices as well as a certain index measuring taxonomic diversity) are representing different categori
