This study investigates pathways by which the eicosanoid precursor pools in the platelets, bone marrow and the gastrointestinal (GI) mucosa are acquired and regulated, and in this context some aspects on the interaction between triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins and platelets. 1. Platelets take up chylomicrons (CM) in vitro, the main part being sequestered in open canalicular system and not degr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av en analys av Statliga Offentliga Utredningar (SOU) och deras definition och hantering av homosexualitet, intersexualism och transsexualism under 1900-talet (1935-2001). Frågor som berör den juridiska definitionen av ett mänskligt subjekt, mänskligt begär och den mänskliga kroppen är centrala för dessa utredningar och därför ligger fokus i avhandliThe thesis consists of an analysis on how Swedish Government Official Reports (SOU) and their definition and handling of homosexuality, intersexualism, and transsexualism. Questions concerning the legal definition of a human subject, of human desire and human bodies are central to these reports, and hence the focal point of the thesis is how these definitions are reproduced and altered during the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Konflikter och sexuellt urval under pollenkonkurrens Naturens många fantastiska färger och former har till stor del skapats av det sexuella urvalet, det vill säga selektionstryck som skapas av konkurrens och val, som uppstår till följd av att djur och växter fortplantar sig. Det var Darwin som 1871 presenterade teorin om det sexuella urvalet i ett försök att förklara vThe incidence of sexual selection in plants is today acknowledged, however, just as in animals, evolution and maintenance of mate choice is gravely underexplored. Moreover, the potential for sexual conflicts to occur in plants has only been assessed empirically to a very limited degree. Using the hermaphroditic annual herb Collinsia heterophylla, I looked deeper into the role of pollen-pollen comp

Omfattande forskning pekar på att en förälders psykiska ohälsa kan utgöra en riskfaktor för barnens psykiska utveckling och hälsa. Man räknar med att cirka 30 procent av patienterna i vuxenpsykiatrisk vård har minderåriga barn. Under ett år får cirka 30 000 patienter vuxenpsykiatrisk vård i Skåne. Sedan år 2010 finns ett tillägg i hälso- och sjukvårdslagen som slår fast att vården ska beakta barne

The results from this study show that both the percentage of students passing a difficult first-year engineering course, and scores on the course exams, are higher for students attending SI compared to students not attending. There is also a clear relation between SI attendance and student performance, with higher attendance leading to higher student performances. The study also shows that female

The book provides an in-depth analysis of the processes of innovation found in industrial clusters. The Authors focus particularly on the characteristics of innovation clusters and their operation in the food industry. This is revealed through novel case studies, detailed research on dynamic cluster relationship between academia and the industry, and the role of competencies, resources, interactio

Oranic acid anhydrides (OAAs) are important reactive, low-molecular-weight industrial chemicals which induce allergic rhinitis and asthma in exposed subjects. Specific IgE has been demonstrated in a large proportion of OAA-exposed workers. The characteristics of the OAAs make them excellent model compounds for studies of quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSAR) of allergenicity. In the

There are many projects in Mozambique for poverty reduction. One of these projects is funded by Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) and is aimed to install a total of 600 rural water points in the province of Nampula and Cabo Delgado in crystalline rock zone. Each water point consists of a drilled well, a water pump and a communal washing basin. Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was used for asse

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling visar att jordgubbar innehåller ett allergen, proteinet Fra a 1, som är mycket likt det allergen som orsakar besvär vid björkpollen-allergi. Den som får allergiska besvär av jordgubbar, t.ex. att det kliar och blir irriterat i munhålan och svalget när man äter , har ofta en björkpollen-allergi sen tidigare. Motsvarande allergen finns också i en del andrStrawberry (Fragaria ananassa) is an economically important crop, and recognised as an important source of antioxidants and bioactive compounds with health promoting effects. Yet increased incidence of allergy puts a limit to the choice of food for an increasing percentage of the population. As part of this thesis a strawberry allergen termed Fra a 1 was identified, which is related to a major bi
