In the current work, cationic polymers functionalized with N-alicyclic quaternary ammonium (QA) cations were synthesized and characterized as potential hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs) for application in fuel cells. Three different polymers, namely poly(arylene ether sulfone), spiro-ionene and poly(arylene alkylene), were explored as polymer backbones for the HEMs. Various mono- and spirocyclic

The function of cultured mast cells may depend on genetic or environmental influence on the stem cell donor. This study investigates whether asthma or atopy in the donor influenced the growth and sensitivity of mast cells cultured from patients with asthma and healthy controls under identical conditions. Mast cells were cultured from peripheral blood from twelve patients with an objectively confir

In the study presented in this paper, the effect of different vehicle driving cycles on the pneumatic hybrid has been investigated. The pneumatic hybrid powertrain has been modeled in UT-Power and validated against experimental data. The GT-Power engine model has been linked with a MATLAB/simulink vehicle model. The engine in question is a single-cylinder Scania D12 diesel engine, which has been c

Background. Anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) disease often results in end-stage renal failure despite therapy with plasma exchange and immunosuppressive drugs. The newly discovered streptococcal enzymes IgG-degrading enzyme of S.pyogenes (IdeS) and endoglycosidase S (EndoS) act with remarkable specificity on circulating IgG. In this study, we investigate their ability in vivo to preven

Background: Alpha-synuclein (asyn) has been shown to play an important role in the neuropathology of Parkinson's disease (PD). In the diseased brain, classic intraneuronal inclusions called Lewy bodies contain abnormal formations of asyn protein which is mostly phosphorylated at serine 129 (pS129 asyn). This suggests that post-translational modifications may play a role in the pathogenic process.

Abstract Through the use of chimeric CXCR4/CCR5 receptors we have previously shown that CCR5-tropic (R5) HIV-1 isolates acquire a more flexible receptor use over time, and that this links to a reduced viral susceptibility to inhibition by the CCR5 ligand RANTES. These findings may have relevance with regards to the efficacy of antiretroviral compounds that target CCR5/virus interactions. Compartme

Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a highly adapted, human-specific pathogen that is known to manipulate the immune system through various mechanisms. GAS’ M protein constitutes a primary target of the immune system due to its spatial configuration and dominance on the bacterial surface. Antibody responses targeting the M protein have been shown to favor the conserved C region. Such antibodies (Abs) c

Galactomannan (GM) in legumes and acetyl-galactoglucomannan (AcGGM) in softwoods are wide-spread β-mannans. Their depolymerisation is catalyzed by β-mannanases. We have investigated a cell-surface exposed and galactose-tolerant β-mannanase (BoMan26B) from the abundant gut bacterium Bacteroides ovatus. Glycosidases from the gut microbiota have potential for production of prebiotics, such as dietary

Studien undersöker hur gymnasielärare i svenska beskriver vilka faktorer som styr urvalet av skönlitteratur i kursplanering och hur de motiverar skönlitteraturens funktion i undervisningen. Empirin utgörs av sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med legitimerade lärare; materialet har analyserats genom en teoristyrd tematisk innehållsanalys där Sarlands sex urvalsfaktorer användes som kodningsram och d

Human desires when consuming food are nowadays shifting towards more healthy, and natural food. Products with food particles are commonly well perceived by consumers. Among them, one can find yoghurt with fruit pieces or cereals. To process these products, and satisfy the user expectations, some challenging conditions must be faced. Some of these, are explored in this Master Thesis.

This bachelor thesis was conducted by two students from Lunds University at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems in Landskrona, a company that develops and produces automatic entrance doors. We focused on their High performance product which is a high-speed roll-up door. The background for the thesis was that ASSA ABLOY had acquired several companies in different parts of the world and therefore also had d

Designer fashion items hold a high status within the fashion industry. A designer brands’ culture, aesthetic, and exclusivity give their products a symbolic value that can be used by consumers to build identity or express qualities like success or wealth. Therefore it is natural that counterfeit fashion items emerge as an alternative for consumers who want to emulate these qualities, but for a che

Dagens vägskyddsanläggningar är baserade på gammal reläteknik och är byggda på liknande sätt som på 1940-talet. År 2014 påbörjades projekt-Alex av Trafikverket med mål att byta ut dagens vägskyddsanläggningar mot en mer modern och driftsäker anläggning. Detta genom att uppdatera tekniken i vägskyddsanläggningarna till ett databaserat system som ska standardiseras och inte vara så anläggningsspecifToday's level crossing security systems are based on old relay-based technology and have been constructed in the same way since the 1940s. In 2014, Project-Alex was initiated by Trafikverket to replace the current level crossing security systems with a more modern and reliable system. It is done by updating the technology in the level crossing security systems to a computer-based system that i

has learned what works and what lasts. It has been facing and has solved the problem humans stand before today and who better to turn to then someone that already been through the same experience. To find inspiration and to studies nature’s best ideas and then imitates these designs to solve human problems is what Biomimicry is all about. This was my starting point for my master thesis, to identif
