Expression of the cysteine proteinase cathepsin B and its physiological inhibitor cystatin C was analyzed in vitro in I human fibrosarcoma and 4 human colon carcinoma cell lines. Cystatin C antigen as well as cathepsin B activity were detected in the conditioned media of the 5 cell lines. The corresponding cell extracts expressed high levels of cathepsin B activity, whereas only trace amounts of c

The article surveys the Medieval and Early Modern reception of two ancient Greek myths: the stories about the Phoenician princess Europe and her brother Kadmos. During the 12th - 17th century the interpretation of pagan myths flourished in Europe, justified by allegorical exegesis. The myths of Europe and Kadmos were viewed as disguised teachings containing historical, moral or religious truth. Fo

A new novel single input current-sensing differential logic (SCSDL) is proposed. The SCSDL is flexible-in particular high input Boolean logic functions can be implemented with low complexity, area consumption, time delay, and power consumption. The first part of the area saving comes from the remarkable reduction of wiring; the other part comes from the very low number of transistors needed to imp

Many unhealthy behaviors are created during adolescence and follow the individual into adulthood. In addition, health behaviors often occur in clusters as those who are inactive are more likely to eat unhealthy food and smoke. This makes the early foundation of healthy behaviors vital. The aim was to describe and develop an understanding of adolescents' awareness and experiences concerning health

γδ T cells have been attributed a wide variety of functions, which in some cases may appear as contradictory. To better understand the enigmatic biology of γδ T cells it is crucial to define the constituting subpopulations. γδ T cells have previously been categorized into two subpopulations: CD8aa+ and CD8- cells. In this study we have defined and characterized a novel subset of human γδ T-cells e

In a previous study, in order to investigate the effect of charge stratification on combustion behavior such as combustion efficiency and combustion phasing which also largely affects the emissions, an experiment was conducted in a heavy-duty compression ignition (CI) metal engine. The engine behavior and emission characteristics were studied in the transition from HCCI mode to PPC mode by varying

In modern day industry, robots are indispensable for achieving high production rates and competitiveness. In small and medium scale enterprises, where the production may shift rapidly, it is vital to be able to reprogram robots quickly. Kinesthetic teaching, also known as lead-through programming (LTP), provides a fast approach for teaching a trajectory. In this approach, a trajectory is demonstra

In this paper we study the convex envelopes of a new class of functions. Using this approach, we are able to unify two important classes of regularizers from unbiased non-convex formulations and weighted nuclear norm penalties. This opens up for possibilities of combining the best of both worlds, and to leverage each method’s contribution to cases where simply enforcing one of the regularizers are

Den ungdomliga hiphopkulturen finns idag överallt och används för att sälja allt från produkter till politiska budskap. Hiphopkulturen har sin utgångspunkt i USA och afroamerikanernas verklighet, men den finns som ett konstnärligt och politiskt uttryck i hela världen, inklusive Sverige. Trots att hiphopkulturen är en väldigt praktiskt orienterad rörelse bestående av olika uttryck (musiken, dansen

Creasing of paperboard is an essential operation to obtain a well defined shape and strength of a package. The creasing tool consists of one male and one female creasing plate. The male plate presses the paperboard into the female plate and introduces damage in the creasing zone. Today the standard creasing operation at Tetra Pak is that the male creasing plate presses the top ply (print side) of

The purpose of this study is to examine the international legal instruments specifically addressing the practice of enforced disappearance and analyse if they are sufficient in relation to the gravity and seriousness of the crime. The instruments examined are: the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, the Inter-American Convention on Forced Disappe

The focal point of the essay is the right to food as a human right. The author argues that there is a need for a change in the human rights system concerning the right to food, since the original framework assigns full responsibility to the individual states, whereas in today's global power structures, government policies and national institutional arrangements in poor countries have very litt

This essay centres three research questions related to the Swedish Social Democrats’ positioning towards neoliberal principles in the labor market and how it’s expressed with regard to political role. This is done for the purpose of creating a nuanced understanding of the effect that neoliberal ideas have had on the formation and expression of the party narrative. For theory, critical realism and

Uppsatsen analyserar hur arbetstagares rätt att uttrycka och utöva sin religion vägs mot arbetsgivarens rätt att leda och fördela arbetet. Religionsfrihet utgör en grundläggande mänsklig rättighet som har ett starkt skydd både i internationell som nationell lagstiftning. Rätten att hysa en tro är absolut och kan inte begränsas. Däremot finns det undantag som möjliggör en begränsning av rätten att The thesis analyzes how employees' right to express and practice their religion is balanced against the employer´s right to manage and allocate work. Freedom of religion constitutes a fundamental human right that has strong protection under both international and national legislation. The right to hold a belief is absolute and cannot be restricted. However, there are exceptions that allow for

The aim of this study was to understand, through interview-format podcasts, how individuals who have committed criminal acts from a young age described their pathway into crime and their process of desistance. Our study was based on a qualitative approach in the form of a thematic analysis of eight podcast episodes. We analyzed the empirical data using Howard S. Becker’s labeling theory (2006) and
