Streptococcus pyogenes infects over 700 million people worldwide annually. Immune evasion strategies employed by the bacteria include binding of the complement inhibitors, C4b-binding protein (C4BP) and Factor H in a human-specific manner. We recently showed that human IgG increased C4BP binding to the bacterial surface, which promoted streptococcal immune evasion and increased mortality in mice.

In November 2004, Valdivia Cellulose Pulp Plant started operating in San Pedro de la Mariquina, 56 kilometers north-west of Valdivia in southern Chile. A few months later a decrease in the population of the Black Necked Swans (Cygnus melancoryphus) in the Carlos Anwandter Sanctuary, near the discharging point of the mill, was discovered. The aim of the thesis was to evaluate three alternative disc

Background: Implementing the evidence-based Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model in welfare states like Sweden faces contextual challenges that often necessitate local adaptations to enhance fit and effectiveness. While fidelity assessments aim to ensure effective outcomes, adaptations may lead to unintended drift from core components.

One is the traditional non-commercial and stewardship-oriented form hunting, in Swedish called ‘allmoge’ hunting. It is characterised by a democratic hunting tradition where the local hunting team is ascribed a main role in wildlife management.
