Helicobacter pylori is a major factor for the development of gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to define serum antibody patterns associated with H. pylori infection in patients with gastric cancer using a Western blot technique. Serum samples collected from 115 patients with gastric cancer and 110 age- and gender-matched patients without gastrointestinal diseases were tested for IgG antibo
The food intake rate of foragers may be reduced as a result of interference, which may be asymmetric among individuals and occur as a result of intimidation, direct aggression or filtering. It is important to distinguish among these types of interference, because each can have different consequences for individuals, foraging groups and populations. We demonstrate the application of the functional
Many animals can use the polarization of light in various behavioural contexts. Birds are well known to use information from the skylight polarization pattern for orientation and compass calibration. Still, there are few controlled studies of polarization vision in birds, and the majority of them have not been successful in convincingly demonstrating polarization vision. We used a two-alternative
Metformin is a first-line oral agent used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but glycaemic response to this drug is highly variable. Understanding the genetic contribution to metformin response might increase the possibility of personalising metformin treatment. We aimed to establish the heritability of glycaemic response to metformin using the genome-wide complex trait analysis (GCTA) method.
In his recent article in Millennium 33, no. 3 (2005), Thomas Diez’s reconsideration of the Normative Power (NP) thesis raises a number of important questions about the European Union (EU) as a normative power in world politics. His article critically problematises NP and calls for ‘a greater degree of self-reflexivity’ in discussions and representations of the EU as a NP. This response to Diez’s a
Environmental relative humidity (RH) and temperature (T) are known to be promoters of physicochemical changes in pharmaceutical grade lactose, either in controlled (supervised conditioning), or uncontrolled (during transit and repository storage) scenarios. Comprehensive knowledge of this excipient's material characteristics prior to its use in formulation development is therefore a fundamental re
In Denmark food production is dominantly influenced by industrial agriculture, which has been increasingly scrutinized for its negative environmental impacts making it evident that alternative food systems must be explored. This could, for example, be permaculture which guides people to live in harmony with nature. This thesis investigates what eight Danish permaculture practitioners wish to chang
SLAMF6 is an immunoregulatory molecule studied in cancer research as a possible target for immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). The absence of SLAMF6 has been shown to elevate T cell activation and improve anti-tumour responses (1). The regulatory mechanism of SLAMF6 is not fully understood. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of SLAMF6 on T cell signalling using fluore
Switzerland operates one of the strictest regimes regulating posted work in Europe, going beyond what EU law requires in several aspects. Based on Switzerland's interpretation of the Posted Work Directive, it introduced the so-called Flanking Measures, which regulates posted work in Switzerland, and despite posing burdensome administrative costs, limited market access, and potentially high fin
Sweden is today home to a large Iranian and Afghan diaspora respectively. They have come here under vastly different circumstances, but still share some common traits. Language, religion and the cultural traditions are very similar. Despite this, there seems to be a substantial difference in how they relate to the current conflict in Iran. By interviewing people from both groups, we have sought to

In sites where earthquakes occur, the use of surface wave methods represents a convenient and effective procedure for soil characterization. In particular, Multichannel Analysis of Surface Wave (MASW) has become a popular tool in many seismic micro-zoning projects. In common practice the active MASW method is implemented using a sledgehammer source and a linear receiver spread. This method is lim
