Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are derived from the membrane of platelets and released in the circulation upon activation or injury. Analogous to the parent cell, platelet derived EVs play an important role in hemostasis and immune responses by transfer of bioactive cargo from the parent cells. Platelet activation and release of EVs increases in several pathological inflammatory diseases, such as se

INTRODUCTION: Monocytes are key effector cells in inflammatory processes. We and others have previously shown that synovial monocytes in childhood-onset arthritis are activated. However, very little is known about how they contribute to disease and attain their pathological features. Therefore, we set out to investigate the functional alterations of synovial monocytes in childhood-onset arthritis,

Background: MRI is an important tool in the prostate cancer work-up, with special emphasis on the ADC sequence. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between ADC and ADC ratio compared to tumor aggressiveness determined by a histopathological examination after radical prostatectomy.Methods: Ninety-eight patients with prostate cancer underwent MRI at five different hospitals prior to radi

Software developing organizations strive to achieve flexibility to maintain a competitive advantage. There is no common understanding of what characterize flexibility for a software organization beyond the scope of the software product. Without a common understanding, it is difficult to evaluate the degrees of flexibility of software development approaches. The aim of this literature review is to

Background and aims: Asthma is one of the most common respiratory diseases in the world. Research has shown that temporal increases in air pollution concentrations can aggravate asthma symptoms. The aim of this study was to assess whether individuals living in areas with higher air pollution concentrations responded differently to short-term temporal exposure to air pollution than those living in

The paper argues for the importance of seeing just how we conceptualise digital phenomena in relation to how the regulatory discourses. The Internet used to be an “information superhighway”, a “cyberspace”, or a “world wide web” often described as an empowering structure, that now has transformed to be understood in terms of “layers”, a generator of big data for a number of “platform” ventures and

Microsoft Word - Wahlgren Reimer Bergenståhl.doc Abstrakt—Det finns flera anekdotiska bevis för att lärare och studenter anser att det är stor skillnad på naturvetar- och ingenjörsstudenter. För att ge en utgångspunkt för diskussioner på detta tema presenterar vi här en undersökning av två studentgrupper kemitekniker och naturvetare som läst liknande organkemikurs med samma lärare. De första preli

This report has resulted in a method to evaluate and map the safety culture within a company. The method consists of two templates. One template, the assessment template, which works as a reference point and one presentation template where simply the facts and status of the company will be presented and evaluated compared to the assessment template. Safety culture relates to attitudes, behaviour,

Today hazard studies are a self evident part of a project plan while creating a new process or making changes in an existing one in the chemical industry. Therefore it is important to make the hazard studies as efficient as possible. The objective for this thesis was to optimise the hazard study processes based on the main methods presently used at Neste Oil Oyj, Neste Jacobs Oy and Borealis Polym

Vårt syfte är att beskriva och analysera hur benchmarkinganvänds i svenska detaljhandelskedjor med inriktning mot mode. Syftet är även att behandla fallföretagens erfarenheter av benchmarkingarbetet och ta reda på om det finns potential hos styrverktyget som inte utnyttjas. Vi har utfört en kvalitativ fallstudie, med en deduktiv ansats av fyra detaljhandelskedjor. Vår teoretiska teferensram består

Our purpose in this research was to reveal if there is a link between the debate on climate change and discursive practices of three global corporations: Siemens, Samsung, and Cisco. What are the drivers pushing corporations to engage in environmental actions? How do companies through the use of language represent themselves in particular ways to be perceived as being environmentally responsible?

This paper explores how entrepreneurial legacies can have broader social impact beyond the identity of founders, the organization that they created, or their own philanthropic activity. Thus, we illustrate how, in the South African context, social entrepreneuring may be understood as the values-driven, relational brokering of societal legacies amongst a variety of entrepreneurs. At the heart of th

Efficient and clean production of electrical and mechanical energy for use in industry, transportation and propulsion is currently a concern. The transition from fossil fuels to biofuels involves challenges related to the fuel composition and combustion, as well as methods to increase engine fuel flexibility. One potentially useful tool under development is Plasma Assisted Combustion (PAC), where
