Traumatic brain injury (TBI) leads to intracerebral inflammation involving resident microglial cells and astrocytes as well as invading peripheral dendritic cells (DCs), monocytes, and neutrophils. However, the profile of immune blood cells activated by TBI remains poorly defined. Several animal models showing invasion of circulating classical dendritic cells type 2 (cDC2s) to the traumatically in

Migration and mobility is an increasingly important topic within the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP). The very first ENP Strategy Papers already acknowledged that perspectives for lawful migration and common efforts to combat illegal migration, as well as the establishment of efficient mechanisms for return, are crucial determinants for successful cooperation with neighbouring countries. With

The last Catholic archbishop of Sweden to hold residence in his see at Uppsala, Johannes Magnus (1488-1544), was the author of a major work about Swedish history: the Historia de omnibus Gothorum Sueonumque regibus. Johannes Magnus left Sweden in 1526, spent the rest of his life away from his home country and eventually died in Rome, where his work was published posthumously in 1554. One reason fo

This contribution explores the evolution and determinants of public support for the euro since its creation in 1999 until the end of 2017, thereby covering the pre-crisis experience of the euro, the crisis years and the recent recovery. Using uniquely large macro and micro databases and applying up-to-date econometric techniques, the authors revisit the growing literature on public support for the

Background: Documentation of older people’s end-of-life care should cover the care given and provide an overview of their entire situation. Older people approaching the end of life often have complex symptoms, live with bodily losses, and face an unknown future in which existential aspects come to the forefront. Knowledge of the existential aspects recorded in palliative care documentation is spar

When a course is designed, it is common to do it for a typical group of students, considered to represent “the majority”, the “norm” or the “average”. The concept of “edges” challenges this view: given the multiple dimensions that teaching and learning encompass, there will always be students who do not belong to a norm and will end up on an edge if they are not included in the course design. In t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet är att dels studera olika ventilationssystems förmåga att tillföra och föra bort luftflöden. Den andra delen av syftet är att studera konstruktionskriterier och energi användning för ett variabelflödessystem baserat på konstanttryckshållning av det statiska trycket på grenkanalnivå och som endast tillför uteluft. Ventilationssystemens luftflöden studeras med hjälOne part of the objective is to analyze how different ventilation systems perform in practice when it comes to supplying and exhausting designed air flow in different outdoor and indoor conditions. The other part is to analyze the design criterias and the energy use of a variable air volume system based on controlled static pressure at the branch duct level and supplying outdoor air only.

The aim of this thesis is to critically examine how ethical principles are conceptualized and applied in educational contexts, focusing on the intersection of early childhood education and education for sustainable development. Its contribution to educational research in general, and to philosophy of education in particular, is to; first, discuss the presumed relation between ethical principles an

It is argued that the Achilles heel of contemporary sociology – and great parts of social science – is a) weak theory development, and b) absence of a meta-theory providing a common platform and a shared goal for its practitioners, fostering cumulativity. A meta-theory called causal realism (a variant of critical realism) is suggested for these purposes. The main tenets and key concepts of realism

The thin-plate spline (TPS) has been widely used in a number of areas such as image warping, shape analysis and scattered data interpolation. Introduced by Bookstein (IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. 11(6):567–585 1989), it is a natural interpolating function in two dimensions, parameterized by a finite number of landmarks. However, even though the thin-plate spline has a very intuitive int

The described technical-economic model clarifies the influence of different production technological factors on the processing cost of a part. Influential factors can be weighted against each other, which leads to different production development scenarios and their effects on the processing cost can be studied. This implies a way to generate a basis of decision by which a company can base their p
