In this study we present the results from realistic N-body modelling of massive star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds. We have computed eight simulations with N similar to 10(5) particles; six of these were evolved for at least a Hubble time. The aim of this modelling is to examine in detail the possibility of large-scale core expansion in massive star clusters, and search for a viable dynamical
Identification of genes controlling complex diseases has proven to be difficult; however, animal models may pave the way to determine how low penetrant genes interact to promote disease development. We have dissected the Cia5/Eae3 susceptibility locus on mouse chromosome 3 previously identified to control disease in experimental models of multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Congenic strai
When the replacement of an existing building by a new one is financially restrictive or not possible for any reason, refurbishment can be the only option. The refurbishment of a non-residential building may require a specialized study, not only because of building location, use, importance and historic significance, but also because it provides the opportunity to take measures to reduce energy con
The diphtheria toxin A chain (DTA) was gene targeted into the Joining chain (J chain) locus to create a mouse strain selecting against J chain-expressing cells, JDTA mice. Serum immunoglobulin (Ig)M and serum IgG were reduced six to eightfold, while serum IgA was elevated 14-fold in these mice. JDTA mice were immune competent although the serum Ig response compared with wild-type mice was reduced
To study the absorption, metabolism and kinetics, the AKG ( in different concentrations) was administered intravenously, intra-portally, orally and directly into the ileum or duodenum of pigs, chronically fitted with portal and jugular catheters and T-shaped cannula at the duodenum and ileum. Additionally, this study was conducted to determine the influence of low pH, Fe2+ or/ and SO42- on AKG gut
RATIONALE: Sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition with high morbidity and mortality. Neutrophil-derived heparin-binding protein (HBP) induces vascular leakage and is a promising biomarker of sepsis-induced organ dysfunction. It remains unknown if HBP is prognostic of AKI in septic shock and if HBP could play a role in the pathophysiology of sepsis-induced AKI.OBJECTIVES: To
The aim of the current study is to establish conversion coefficients (CCs) from dose-area product to effective dose for barium meal (BM) fluoroscopic examinations. The study is based on data collected at a major University hospital in St-Petersburg, Russia. The structure of the BM examinations was evaluated and a computational model for effective dose estimation, using PCXMC 2.0 software, was deve
While the number of stars in the Galactic bulge with detailed chemical abundance measurements is increasing rapidly, the inner Galactic bulge (|b| < 2°) remains poorly studied, due to heavy interstellar absorption and photometric crowding. We have carried out a high-resolution IR spectroscopic study of 72 M giants in the inner bulge using the CRIRES (ESO/VLT) facility. Our spectra cover the wavele
A method is presented aiming at enabling more holistic flood risk management efforts by accounting for cascading effects that arise in critical infrastructure and vital societal functions in flooding events. The method is under development but shows promise in guiding national, regional and local risk management efforts in Sweden towards flooding events.
In this thesis, we study quantum transport properties of superconductor-semiconductor nanowire hybrid devices. We mainly focus on the quantum transport in InSb nanowire Josephson quantum dot devices, i.e. quantum dots coupled to two pieces of superconductors. In such a structure, many-body interacting phenomena occur, such as Kondo correlation, multiple Andreev reflection, and the formation of And
Hanseatic League of Science (HALOS)Hanseatic League of Science (HALOS) is a unique cross-border ÖKS interreg project with 15 official partner organizations including research institutes in Denmark, Sweden and Germany. Through HALOS the Life Science research and innovation ecosystems will get access to crossborder cooperation platforms where academia and industry can meet. Key stakeholders will be
In the present paper, the effectiveness of a vibration isolation mat for a railway slab track system is studied using a finite element model of the railway track. The finite elements are formulated in a moving frame of reference following the moving load at a particular speed. The rails are modeled using Bernoulli beams, whereas the track slab and an underlying supporting plate are modeled using K
Är det möjligt att avstycka ett bostadshus som är uppfört utan bygglov och i strid med detaljplan, som kallas komplement och som omfattar en area om endast 25 kvm? År 2014 gjordes en lagändring som gav en fastighetsägare möjlighet att i nära anslutning till ett befintligt bostadshus uppföra just en sådan byggnad som komplement till det förstnämnda. Byggnaden har fått populärnamnet attefallshus eftThe Swedish legislation for land use planning and building development has been central in several amendments the last few decades. By different changes in approach, legislators have tried tightened rules as well as eras with more liberal regulations to adjust problems with housing shortages and urban planning. In 2014, a new amendment made it possible to construct a 25 square meter building in ad
This thesis project challenges the current municipality plans for Trollhättan 4, 6 and 7 in Malmö and suggests an alternative vision for the place. Instead of working with high-density offices, residential buildings and retail, the project aims to work with a program such as spa and a bath with a distinct public character.
Mot bakgrund av USA:s viktiga roll i världspolitiken och speciellt i Mellanöstern och dess konflikter är uppsatsens syfte att undersöka USA:s flerfaldiga politik rörande Israel-Palestinakonflikten mellan 2000–2020. Syftet uppnås genom att besvara frågorna om hur USA har agerat i förhållande till konflikten mellan 2000–2020, vilka motiveringar USA har för sitt agerande samt hur USA:s politik kring Because of the important role that the United States plays in the politics of the world, especially in the Middle East conflicts, the purpose of this study is to analyze the U.S. multiple policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict between 2000-2020. The purpose of this study is achieved by answering the questions about how the U.S. has acted in relation to the conflict between 2000–2020, how the U
The study done in this thesis was based on a planned eco village in Röstånga, Sweden. The aim of the study was to find a solution into which energy- and ventilation systems that were sustainable and had the least environmental impact in combinations with each other and the chosen building materials. This has been done through literature studies, simulations and life cycle analysis based on those t
The Danish asylum system has experienced radical changes during 2019 in regards to asylum and refugee rights with the right-wing governing coalition’s introduction of Act 140. Central to Act 140 is the repatriation philosophy that is carried out in practice with an increased focus on temporary residency of refugees within the Danish asylum system as opposed to permanency. Thus, social integration
"The Value of Knowledge - Towards a Virtue Epistemological Position" The classical question, first posed in Plato's Meno, concerning the value of knowledge constitutes the starting point of this essay. Value analysis has long been neglected in epistemologist's accounts until its re-emergence with the tradition called ?virtue epistemology?, in particular with scholars following Er
This study examines Turkey’s agricultural sector and how it will be affected by a EU membership. Since Turkey has a great rural population and is relatively dependent on its agriculture, the implementation of the CAP will most probably affect not only the rural community, but also the specialization patterns in agriculture and the trade. The aim of this study is to estimate these changes and draw
