Background: Previously, we investigated tonsillar carriage of Fusobacterium necrophorum by PCR and found a high tonsillar carriage rate (21%) in asymptomatic 15-25 year olds, but the same age group is most commonly affected by severe F. necrophorum infections. Interestingly, we found Cycle threshold (Ct)-values in asymptomatic carriers to be high (median 29). Possibly, the Ct-value could different

Previous research suggests that parties in contractual relationships adopt a governance structure that economizes on transaction costs, and then over time learn to govern the contractual relationships in a more efficient manner by incrementally aligning contractual terms with transaction attributes based on new experiences made in the relationship. This implies that learning to contract and the de

European Spallation Source ERIC (ESS ERIC) is a legal entity established by the European Commission based on a European Union regulation (the ERIC Regulation). It is co-hosted by Sweden and Denmark and has its statutory seat in Lund, Sweden. This means that, according to the ERIC Regulation, ESS ERIC is a legal subject of both EU law and Swedish national law. In terms of hierarchical interplay bet

Morpho-taxonomic studies of cetrarioid lichens from India recorded 46 species representing Cetraria, Melanelia, Nephromopsis, and Platismatia. Nephromopsis awasthii is described as new to science; and Cetraria endochrysea, C. sinensis, Melanelia agnata, Nephromopsis ciliaris, N. morrisonicola, N. pseudocomplicata, N. pseudoweberi, N. rugosa, N. weii, and N. yunnanensis are reported for the first tMorpho-taxonomic studies of cetrarioid lichens from India recorded 46 species representing Cetraria, Melanelia, Nephromopsis, and Platismatia.

This paper analyzes strategies that can be successfully pursued to implement measures to reduce car traffic in what has traditionally been a very car-centric planning praxis. Analytically, the paper use path dependency theory to provide an understanding of why certain types of measure are not implemented in cities on as widespread a basis as policy objectives may require, and to understand how tra

The objective of the paper is to explore whether particular problematisations of cars and car use lead to sets of solutions that may not deal with all problems associated with car use, and whether this leads to any internal conflicts within the chosen policies. The paper is based on a review of local transport policy documents from 13 cities in four countries using the lens of policy problematisat

In this article, we argue that servants working for Count Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie (1622–1686) were part of an intricate system of economic and social dependencies. Focusing on the indebtedness of the aristocracy to its workers, we examine how deferred payment of wages opened up for negotiations between servant and master, and suggest that servants became de facto creditors to their master. In

This book considers how the concept of violence has been interpreted, used, defined, and explored by social researchers and thinkers. It does not provide a final answer to the question of what violence is or how it should be explained (or prevented), and instead offers a variety of useful ways of thinking about and theorising the phenomenon, mainly from a sociological standpoint.
