The main aim of the study was to optimize the interfacial presentation of a small antigen-a Tn antigen (N-acetylgalactosamine)-for binding to its analyte anti-Tn antibody. Three different methods for the interfacial display of a small glycan are compared here, including two methods based on the immobilization of the Tn antigen on a mixed self-assembled monolayer (SAM) (2D biosensor) and the third
We investigate the mixing layer thickness, δ(ξ), along the streamwise coordinate ξ of a straight channel fed with alternating streams of segregated solutes. We show the occurence of convection-enhanced mixing regimes downsteram the channel: i) an early-mixing regime, δ(ξ) ∼ξ 1/3 resembling the classical Lèvêque scaling of the thermal boundary layer, ii) an intermediate anom
The paper analyses the complete methodology adopted in making the computer graphic movie presetning the House of Caecilius Iucundus, Pompeii. It starts with a discussion on the philological correctness of a reconstruction based on different kind of sources, such as paintings, drawings, technical and literary texts, comparisons etc., and proceeds to explore the use of integrated 3D models (both rel
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is associated with inflammatory lesions in the brain and spinal cord. The detection of such inflammatory lesions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is important in the consideration of the diagnosis and differential diagnoses of MS, as well as in the monitoring of disease activity and predicting treatment efficacy. Although there is strong evidence supporting the use of
The current fire testing and classification system and corresponding tests is mainly based on prescriptive building fire codes. This has certain limitations resulting in restricting the possible use of these tests for performance-based design within fire safety engineering (FSE). It also restricts innovation and cost-efficiency for companies supplying materials/components for buildings and transpo
This thesis explores the underlying reasons for recent protests in Peru that began after the ousting of President Pedro Castillo in December of last year. The research is an explorative case study based on the thematic analysis of news articles. By drawing on decolonial theory, social movement theorising, as well as the concepts of identity and place, it examines the context of the protests and th
In response to the environmental crisis and growing consumer awareness, increasing attention has been directed towards sustainable production models centred on circularity, resource efficiency, and reduced environmental impact. Against this background, practices such as upcycling, which aim to extend product lifespans and reduce waste, have gained increased attention. The European Union has artic
Den nuvarande ökningen av icke-statliga aktörer som bedriver kommersiell verksamhet i rymden har lett till juridiska frågor om bland annat ansvar. Är det nuvarande internationella rättsliga ramverket för yttre rymden tillräckligt etablerat för att hantera övergången från ett rättsområde som en gång dominerades av stater, till ett område som idag drivs av privata ekonomiska intressen? I denna uppThe important rise of non-state actors performing commercial activities in outer space has resulted in legal issues regarding inter alia responsibility. The question is whether the current international legal framework on outer space is sufficiently established to cope with a continuously shifting legal area once dominated by States to one today driven by private economic interests.

Studien undersöker effekter av social distansering och distansundervisning under COVID-19-pandemin bland universitetsstudenter och gymnasieelever i Sverige och Norge. Studier som genomförts under det senaste året visar att studenter har påverkats negativt av pandemin men det finns ingen jämförande forskning mellan de två till synes liknande länderna. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om det fanThe study investigates the effects of social distancing and online education during the COVID-19 pandemic on university students and high school students in Sweden and Norway. Through studies conducted in the last year it appears that students have been negatively affected by the pandemic but there is no comparative research between the two nations. The purpose of the study was to discern if there
In 2016, a national policy package consisting of six support measures was legislated and clarified in the Swedish school law. The six support measures aim to create clarity and guidance for teachers, principals and other relevant actors to integrate newly arrived children and youth and ensure they achieve the national curriculum requirements. Recent reports state that the gap between native an
Dry powder inhaler (DPI) formulation is a major area of interest since they are employed by the healthcare system to treat relevant chronic diseases like asthma. Previous research has established that the manufacturing process and formulation composition are key for the active pharmaceutical ingredient to reach the lungs and achieve therapeutic effects. The aim of this study was to research the ef
Energy sufficiency has been recognised as a strategy to promote sustainable energy use and achieve climate neutrality. It aims to reduce energy demand in absolute terms. ‘Living Space Reduction’ (LSR) is one way to achieve energy sufficiency in the housing sector. However, existing studies highlight significant barriers to its materialisation, including the lack of funding and expert knowledge of
A bioanode with high current density and coulombic efficiency was developed by co-immobilization of pyranose dehydrogenase from Agaricus meleagris (AmPDH) with the dehydrogenase domain of cellobiose dehydrogenase from Corynascus thermophiles (recDHCtCDH) expressed recombinantly in Escherichia coli. The two enzymes were entrapped in Os-complex modified electrodeposition polymers (Os-EDPs) with spec
The development and expansion of artificial intelligence have significant potential to benefit humanity; however, the risks posed by AI-related tools have also become a growing concern over the past decade. From the standpoint of human rights violations AI-related bias, discriminatory practices, data protection practices and violations or potential infringements on fundamental rights are some of t
A complete census of planetary systems around a volume-limited sample of solar-type stars (FGK dwarfs) in the Solar neighborhood (d a parts per thousand currency signaEuro parts per thousand 15 pc) with uniform sensitivity down to Earth-mass planets within their Habitable Zones out to several AUs would be a major milestone in extrasolar planets astrophysics. This fundamental goal can be achieved w
Background Few authors have investigated function and pain after surgical treatment of patients with bone metastases. In 1999 the Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) initiated the Skeletal Metastasis Registry as a multi-centric, prospective study to provide a scientific basis for recommendations of treatment. Patients and methods We have analyzed function and pain in 530 patients (mean age 65 yr) ope
Abstract in Danish:En nærmere undersøgelse af baggrunden for de reformer, som Manuel I Komnenos (1118-80) forsøgte at indføre mod slutningen af sin regeringstid, viser at disse forsøg udsprang af en tidligere knæsat holdning i Byzans over for Islam. Hvad Manuel ønskede at gøre var at bringe sin religionspolitik i tråd hermed og med den der blev ført i det konkurrerende emirat i Ikonium (Konya), me
