A fundamental difference between ordinary and leisure time is for many the ability to indulge in extra-ordinary activities of both body and mind. Rooted in antiquity, the renaissance villas were often used as spaces for indulgence of artistic endeavors, be it philosophical discussions, poetry-writing or lavish parties. Of indulgence, Aristoteles wrote: ‘The self-indulgent man craves for all pleasa
The complement system resembles a double-edged sword since its activation can either benefit or harm the host. Thus, regulation of this system is of utmost importance and performed by several circulating and membrane-bound complement inhibitors. The pool of well-established regulators has recently been enriched with proteins that either share structural homology to known complement inhibitors such
According to results of a recent literature search performed by the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology (EADV) Task Forces (TF) on Quality of Life and Patient Oriented Outcomes (QoL and PO) and Acne, Rosacea and Hidradenitis Suppurativa (ARHS), most of the publications where health-related (HR) QoL of acne patients was studied were clinical trials. Members of the EADV TF on QoL and PO
The molecular weight distribution and the viscosity of water‐soluble dietary fibre polysaccharides isolated from green beans, Brussels sprouts and green peas were investigated following boiling, microwave treatment and canning. Blanching was used as a reference process. In green beans and Brussels sprouts microwave treatment had minor effects, while there generally was a small decrease of neutral
The problem of optimizing PPM with the help of different choices of estimators and their parameters for different subsets of nodes in the context tree is considered. Methods of such optimization for Markov chain and context tree models for individual files and over given sets of files are presented, and it is demonstrated that the extension from Markov chain models to context tree models is necess
The aim of this paper is to discuss how research schools with a structured programme and targeted profile may make it difficult for doctoral students to expand the academic role. Our paper is based on material collected in a questionnaire given to doctoral students enrolled at a Swedish research school in architecture. In this questionnaire we found three areas – openness to other disciplines and
Context: Insulin resistance in skeletal muscle is a major risk factor for the development of type 2diabetes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Despite this, the mechanisms underlyinginsulin resistance in PCOS are largely unknown.Objective: To investigate the genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression patterns inskeletal muscle from women with PCOS and controls and relate them to
Identifying stars found in the Milky Way as having formed in situ or accreted can be a complex and uncertain undertaking. We use Gaia kinematics and APOGEE elemental abundances to select stars belonging to the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE) and Sequoia accretion events. These samples are used to characterize the GSE and Sequoia population metallicity distribution functions, elemental abundance patte
Aims: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the prevalence of the multidimensional phenomenon of fatigue in adults with congenital heart disease. Background: Adults with congenital heart disease are a growing population, and patient-reported outcomes can provide valuable information about the patient's experience of living with CHD. Fatigue is a multidimensional phenomenon that can
Behind everything we do in our daily lives there is a reason for doing it. This paper looks into the motives behind DDoS attacks as a form of cyberattack along with attacker personas. This paper also investigates DDoS attacks technically and it is suggested that there is a need for a socio-technical approach to these attacks to investigate why they occur and the reasoning the attacker(s) could hav
Malaria is a potentially life-threatening disease with approximately half of the world’s population at risk. Young children and pregnant women are hit hardest by the disease. B cells and antibodies are part of an adaptive immune response protecting individuals continuously exposed to the parasite. An infection with Plasmodium falciparum can cause dysregulation of B cell homeostasis, while antibodi

This paper provides an exploratory analysis about the effect of transportation infrastructure on poverty reductions in Mexico between 1990 and 2010. Using the density of highways and unprecedented official estimations of poverty at municipality level, I show that this type of infrastructure lead to reductions in poverty. On average, for every additional kilometer (km) of highway (km/100km2) povert
Föreliggande uppsats syftar till att analysera det uppror som skildras i Suzanne Collins The Hunger Games-trilogi. Med grund i Michail Bachtins tankar om folkets möjlighet till uppror i karnevalen och den folkliga festen anläggs ett karnevalsperspektiv på framförallt övergripande händelseförlopp, men även specifika händelser och företeelser i Collins bokserie. Efter en inledande beskrivning av karThe aim of this thesis is to analyze the uprising depicted in Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games-trilogy. Using the ideas of carnival and vernacular humour presented by Mikhail Bakhtin a carnival perspective is applied to the course of events in Collin’s trilogy. Following a description of carnival as theory in the study of literature in general and more specifically children’s literature, the carn
In this essay, I will study the Doctrine of Discovery in an Indigenous Rights perspective. The aim of the essay is to examine the legitimacy of the doctrine in light of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. To complete this purpose, I map the substance of the doctrine and analyze the relevant provisions of the declaration. In my analysis, I apply the provisions of the
The primary aim of the study was to investigate the applicability of Dunn’s sensory processing model (1997) to youth with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). The model describes four patterns of sensory processing: sensory sensitivity, sensation avoiding, low registration and sensation seeking. The current study test whether these four processes are related to, and differentiate, OCD from anxiety
I denna uppsats undersöks vilka strategier som används vid dubbningen av filmtrilogin Gudfadern från dess amerikanska källtextsammanhang till ett italienskt måltextsammanhang. Syftet är dels att få mer information om hur översättning av flerspråkighet ser ut, dels hur det kan se ut när språkvarieteten som ska översättas är tillgänglig på det språk som det ska översättas till samt om förändringar ö
