Parkinson’s disease (PD) is currently the second most common neurodegenerative disorder (after Alzheimer’s disease). PD is diagnosed on its motor symptoms, which include akinesia, bradykinesia, rigidity, postural imbalance and resting tremor. It is well established that the motor symptoms develop due to lack of dopamine in the striatum. This is caused by progressive degeneration of dopaminergic ne
BACKGROUND: Total serum sialic acid is a recently investigated marker for cardiovascular mortality and carotid atherosclerosis. This study tested the hypothesis that past infection by Herpes simplex type 1 or type 2 viruses or Cytomegalovirus or Chlamydia pneumoniae accounts for the association between serum total sialic acid and atherosclerosis. METHODS: Population-based samples of men and women
The Medical Physics program at Lund University is a 5-year program in the Faculty of Science, given in collaboration with the Faculty of Medicine and Region Skåne. The first two years cover fundamental physics and mathematics, while the latter part of the program focus on medical radiation physics, with emphasis on the clinical orientation towards diagnostic and therapeutic applications. Many teac

Antibody-mediated blockade of CTLA4 has been shown to be effective in treating a select group of patients with late-stage melanoma. The precise mechanism underlying the clinical activity of CTLA4 immunotherapy is poorly understood, although recent experimental findings indicate that antibody-mediated depletion of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the tumor microenvironment plays a key role in efficaci
The aim of this thesis is to establish whether a neural network (NN) can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - retrieved from the computationally demanding dynamic global vegetation model (DGVM) Lund-Potsdam-Jena General Ecosystem Simulator (LPJ-GUESS). It has been devoted to elaboration with various types of neural network architectures: Branched NNs capable of processing in
Popular Abstract in Swedish En av de viktigaste substanserna i vår kropp är proteiner, också kallade äggviteämnen. Proteiner har en mängd olika uppgifter i kroppen, de finns i våra celler där de har olika uppgifter såsom att fungera som enzymer, transportörer, signalsubstanser, eller som skyddsfaktorer. Proteiner ingår också som viktiga beståndsdelar i vävnaderna mellan cellerna och finns dessutomPathogenic bacteria express a wide array of surface proteins that interact with the environment. Many of these proteins are believed to be important for the virulence. This thesis deals with the binding of immunoglobulins (Ig) and complement regulating proteins to certain bacterial surface proteins. Protein L from Peptostreptococcus magnus binds to Igk-light chains while protein A from Staphylococ
Background: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies associated vasculitides (AAV) are characterized by autoimmune small vessel inflammation. Eosinophils are multifunctional cells with both pro-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties. Tissue activated eosinophils secrete cyto- and chemokines and form extracellular traps (EETs), they release free granules and produce reactive oxygen species. The
Popular Abstract in Swedish En tredjedel av befolkningen i världens industrialiserade länder lider av allergi, t.ex. allergisk rinit (hösnuva). Trots detta vet man relativt lite om de cellulära och molekylära mekanismer som ligger till grund för det immunologiska svaret vid allergi. Genom att studera dessa mekanismer kan man hitta sätt att angripa dem, vilket förhoppningsvis kan leda till bättre lAllergic diseases currently affect a third of the population in the industrialized parts of the world. Despite this, the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the induction and activation of allergic diseases are not fully clarified. Dendritic cells (DCs) link the innate and adaptive immunity and play vital roles in protective immunity against pathogens, as well as in inducing tolerance t
BACKGROUND: Currently, there are no therapies targeting specific pathogenic pathways in myocarditis. IL (interleukin)-1 blockade has shown promise in preclinical studies and case reports. We hypothesized that blockade of IL1RAP (IL-1 receptor accessory protein), a shared subunit of the IL-1, IL-33, and IL-36 receptors, could be more efficient than IL-1 blockade alone. METHODS: We induced coxsackie

In Sweden rises the competition between construction companies and they are struggling to get projects while they need to perform them at a good profit. The situation is forcing companies to continually develop and streamline their organization while they have high goals in environmental, occupational health, safety and ethics. An important part of the work to streamline companies is that the purc

Correlation coefficients between quarterly changos in a number of monetary assets and economic activity are calculated for leading, concurrent and lagging observations. Coins and notes exhibit close simultaneous covariation with economic activity. Commercial bank, savings bank and Post Office Bank deposit

These features make the evaluation of long-term consequences of the available options difficult and have consequences for the ethical issues raised.

Centralt för uppsatsen är Leo-lagen som tillkom efter en företagsskandal på 1980-talet där ledande befattningshavare i AB Leo fått teckna aktier i bolaget till fördelaktiga villkor. Leo-lagen som nu återfinns i 16 kap. ABL stadgar att ett beslut om nyemission måste fattas av bolagsstämman med minst nio tiondelars majoritet om de som ska ha rätt att teckna aktier ingår i den av Leo-lagen utpekade fIn the centre of this paper is the 16 chapter of the Swedish Companies Act (Sw. aktiebolagslag (2005:551) (ABL)). The law was adopted after a big company scandal in Sweden during the 1980s where officials in the company where given shares at profitable terms. To prevent this scandal from occurring again the law states that a decision to issue new shares to officials has to be made at the annual sh
