Excessive accumulation of leukocytes in the lung represents a key feature in the development of an acute lung injury (ALI). Numerous studies demonstrated that leukocyte rolling is a compulsory precondition for the firm adhesion in organs. However, it seems that the recruitment process of leukocytes in the lung is more complex. Increasing evidence suggests that recruitment of leukocytes in pulmonar

Matvaruhandeln på nätet växer och en stor del av matvaruinköpen online levereras med hemleverans. Den hemleveransmodell som idag används i störst utsträckning låter kunderna välja ett tidsfönster för när de vill ha sin leverans. Det innebär att rutterna måste anpassas efter olika tidsfönster, vilket resulterar i ineffektivitet och låg fyllnadsgrad i lastbilarna. Detta, i sin tur, gör att leveranseThe online market for groceries is continuously growing. Many of the online grocery purchases are home delivered, and the model that is currently the most commonly used allows the customer to pick a delivery time slot. This means that the delivery routes must be adapted according to time windows, which results in inefficient routes, a lot of half-empty vehicles, and hence in costly deliveries for
Från år 2021 ska alla nybyggnationer i Europa vara nära-nollenergibyggnader. Detta innebär att byggnaders energianvändning bör vara låg och i mycket hög grad tillförs i form från förnybara energikällor som produceras på plats eller i närheten. Syftet med de höga energikraven är att påskynda takten för att skapa ett mer energieffektivt byggande. Den minskade energianvändningen tillsam-mans med en öFrom year 2021, all new buildings in Europe will be net zero-energy buildings. This means that the building's energy is supplied from renewable energy sources that are produced on site or nearby. The purpose of the high energy requirements is to accelerate the pace of creating more energy-efficient constructions. The reduced energy consumption, together with increased use of renewable energy,
This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the current spatial, environmental and financial resilience of Rågsved Centre in Stockholm.

Methods of analysis include a narrative format that comprise of twelve semi-structured interviews
Land cover classification is one of the most studied topics in the field of remote sensing, involving the use of data from satellite sensors to analyze and categorize different land surface types. There are numerous satellite products available, each offering different spatial, spectral, and temporal resolutions. Consequently, several methodologies have been developed to efficiently determine land
With an increasing emphasis on sustainability, and the necessity to align with new regulations, companies face the challenge of transforming their business models to incorporate circularity. Many companies today operate according to a linear business model, where products are designed for consummation and disposal. However, to comply with new demands surrounding sustainability, companies will need
The rapid advancements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years have reshaped markets globally, urging companies to keep up with the development to maintain competitiveness and capture first-mover advantages. Although AI adoption is increasing across sectors, it has been found that Swedish companies lag behind other countries, such as the US and China. A key challenge identified is the lack
Introduction: PARP15 belongs to the PARP family, which carries out ADP-ribosylation, a post- translational modification involved in DNA repair. Finding selective inhibitors can help discover more of the role PARP15 plays in our body. Background: Inhibitors of other PARP family members, such as PARP1, have been studied because of their role in cancer processes. However, PARP15 remains poorly charac
Max Bengtsson A Site Selection of An Energy Island in the North Sea: Optimal Location in an Ecological and an Economic Scenario Using a Multicriteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). The Danish Government has decided to build an energy island, either as an artificial island in sand, concrete and steel or as a platform solution in the Danish exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the North Sea. The idea of the
Uppsatsen belyser den problematik som omfamnar ensamkommande barns rätt till uppehållstillstånd i Sverige genom synnerligen ömmande omständigheter, särskilt med tanke på lagändringen i december 2023 som gör det svårare för barn att få uppehållstillstånd beviljat. Detta bekräftas även av statistiken som visar att en betydande minskning av beviljade ansökningar skett året efter lagändringen. UtvecklThe essay highlights the issues surrounding unaccompanied minors' right to residence in Sweden under "particularly distressing circumstances," especially in light of the legislative change in december 2023 that makes it more difficult for children to be granted residence permits. This is confirmed by statistics showing a significant decrease in approved applications in the year follo

Fysiska och juridiska personer är i någon form av förhållande med varandra baserat på olika omständigheter. När två parter är oense om en fråga vill de givetvis lösa situationen på något sätt. Denna lösning ligger för många hos statliga domstolar där den ena parten stämmer den andra parten vid tingsrätten som första instans. I vissa tänkta utfall är förhållandet baserat på ett avtal som parterna Natural and legal persons are in some form of relationship with each other based on different circumstances. When two parties disagree about an issue, they naturally want to resolve the situation in some way. For many, this solution lies with state courts where one party sues the other party at the district court as first instance. In some scenarios, the relationship is based on a contract that t
Vad är det egentligen som är så roligt? Denna fråga ställer man sig lätt när man tittar i gammal svensk skämtpress, som var en typ av tidning med en storhetstid kring sekelskiftet och första världskriget. De var roliga tidningar, men humor i historisk tid kan vara svår att förstå. För att göra detta behövs humorn sättas in i sitt sammanhang, och det är just detta jag har försökt göra. SammanhangetWhat makes something funny? This is the most basic, underlying question to this thesis, which explores the Swedish satire magazines Söndags-Nisse, Naggen and Strix on their journey through the pinnacle of the Swedish democratization process during the years 1918 to 1922. These types of magazines were of great popularity throughout all of Europe during parts of the late 19th century up until the in
Smittspridning i ventilerad inomhusmiljö har sedan Covid-19 pandemin startade blivit ett högaktuellt ämne. Smittan som uppstod i Kina spred sig snabbt över hela världen och gav upphov till omfattande restriktioner och förändringar i det vardagliga livet för miljarder människor. Till en början antogs Covid-19 endast spridas via dropp- och kontaktsmitta men forskning och kända utbrott visar att luftThe transmission of airborne aerosols in a ventilated indoor environment has become highly relevant since the Covid-19 outbreak. Initially, Covid-19 was only assumed to be spread via droplet and contact infection, but research and known outbreaks show that airborne transmission via aerosols occurs. Modern humans spend a large part of their life indoors. Understanding and calculating how virus-carr
