Recent data suggest that platelets not only control thrombosis and hemostasis but may also regulate inflammatory processes such as acute pancreatitis. However, the specific role of platelet-derived mediators in the pathophysiology of acute pancreatitis is not known. Herein, we examined the role of CD40 ligand (CD40L, CD154) in different models of acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis was induced

Artificiell intelligens (AI) har på kort tid utvecklats till en integrerad del av samhället och beskrivs ofta som en andra industriell revolution. Samtidigt som AI-system skapar effektivitet och nya möjligheter aktualiseras grundläggande rättsliga frågor när dessa system orsakar skada. Särskilt utmanande är situationer där skadan uppkommer genom autonoma och svårförklarliga processer, så kallade bArtificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly developed into an integral part of society and is often described as the second industrial revolution. While AI systems generate efficiencies and new opportunities, fundamental legal questions arise when such systems cause harm. Particularly challenging are situations in which damage results from autonomous and unexplainable processes, referred to as black

Rapid urbanization in Guangdong Province has severely impacted river systems due to limited understanding of the sustainability of river connectivity and functions. This study applies the Minimum Cumulative Resistance Model (MCRM) to quantify expansion costs of natural and social processes, with their difference defined as the River Ecological Sensitivity (RES) index. Higher RES values indicate th

Monapostrukturen ligger i Nampula provinsen i norra Moçambique, och utgör en del av Mocambique bältet. Strukturen är ca 35-40 km i diameter och har en mycket låg topografi. Trots detta syns den väl på satellitbilder och flygfotografier. Relationer mellan samt utbredning av de enskilda bergartsleden är inte helt klarlagd och frågor såsom transportriktning, litostratigrafisk uppdelning samt tektonisThe Monapo Structure is situated in the Nampula Subprovince in northern Moçambique, and makes up a part of the Moçambique Orogenic Belt. It is a 35 x 40 km subcircular structure, with a very flat topography, and it clearly shows up on aerial photos. The regional setting of the Monapo Structure is not yet clearly settled and many questions regarding transportation directions, lithostratigraphic gro

Summary: Lake Bussjö is an 0.3 hectare large kettle hole in a hummocky morain landscape four kilometers north of Ystad. The purpose of this study is to investigate the stratigraphy and reconstruct the highest water level. Another task is to estimate the rate of farmland advance on earlier grazingland and swamps. Furthermore, to calculate the future development of the lake. To make the stratigraphy

Popular Abstract in Swedish Länder som strävar efter att kvalificera sig för medlemskap i Europeiska unionen måste genomföra omfattande reformer under kort tid. Som en effekt av anpassningsprocessen till unionens regelverk och politiska, ekonomiska och administrativa kriterier omstruktureras statsapparaten. Detta gäller inte minst i de kandidatländer som samtidigt genomgår radikala transformationsIt is generally recognized that the EU accession process has profound effects on state transformation in the postcommunist applicant countries. A key problem of postcommunism has been a weak ability to implement public policy. This study explores how efforts to fulfill EU conditionality may influence implementing capacity. Firstly, it advances a theoretical framework for this purpose, focusing on

Objective: The aims were to evaluate the frequency and nature of errors in medication when patients are transferred between primary and secondary care. Method: Elderly primary health care patients (> 65 years) living in nursing homes or in their own homes with care provided by the community nursing system, had been admitted to one of two hospitals in southern Sweden, one university hospital and on

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna doktorsavhandling i ämnet pedagogik utgör en analys av effekter av den pågående kulturella globaliseringen genom att granska två internationella magisterprogram vid Lunds universitet. Studiens syfte är att spåra mönster i en bärande pedagogisk idé för överföring av ett interkulturellt tänkande i tvärkulturella möten genom att utforska, beskriva och försöka förstå The present study is designed to analyze the effects of the ongoing cultural globalization. It utilizes as its empirical setting two special programmes called the International Master's Programme (the IMP,) directed by Lund University in Sweden. The aim of the study is to infer a pedagogic idea for intercultural transmission through cross-cultural encounters by exploring, describing, and comprehen

This paper addresses the question of why metal- deficient barium stars are not yellow symbiotic stars ( YSyS). Samples of ( suspected) metal-deficient barium ( mdBa) stars and YSyS have been collected from the literature, and their properties reviewed. It appears in particular that the barium nature of the suspected mdBa stars needs to be ascertained by detailed abundance analyses. Abundances are

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den nuvarande teknologin inom förbränningsmotorer har möjligheten att hantera den alltmer strikta myndighetskraven på förbränningsmotorn. Emellertid de nödvändiga tekniska lösningarna som krävs är dyra och alltmer tekniskt krävande. En möjlig väg mot enklare efterbehandlingssystem är anvädningen av Homogen Kompressions Antändning (Eng: HCCI) motor cykeln. Den huvudsaklThe current technology within combustion engines have the possibility of handling the more stringent legislative demands on combustion engines. However the required solutions are getting more expensive and technically challenging. One possible way towards a more simple exhaust aftertreatment system is the use of the Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine cycle. The main advantage o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med den här avhandlingen har varit att förstå hur grupper av vi och dom skapas och består, framför allt inom utbildning och skola, och särskilt inom gymnasiala Komvux. I vardagligt tal menar människor oftast att dom är invandrare, medan vi är svenskar. Jag har visat att denna uppdelning, som sker nästan automatiskt, är alltför förenklad och svart-vit. Ett undersy

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna rättssociologiska studie handlar om tvångsomhändertagna missbrukares rättssäkerhet under tiden i vård. Författaren undersöker begreppet rättssäkerhet i förhållande till tvångsvårdens verkställighet på så kallade LVM-hem i syfte att finna en begreppsdefinition som är operationaliserbar vid studier av rättssäkerhetens upprätthållande. Med utgångspunkt i resultaten Compulsory treatment and care is regulated by the Care of Alcoholics and Drug abusers Act (Lag (1988:870) om vård av missbrukare i vissa fall, LVM). The regulation's main purpose is to motivate persons with addictive problems to voluntarily participate in the treatment of their problems. The compulsory care shall continue for a maximum period of six months in special treatment centres (the so-call

In a previous paper we were able to measure the abundance of uranium andthorium in the very-metal poor halo giant BPS CS31082-001, but only obtained an upper limit for the abundanceof lead (Pb). We have got from ESO 17 h of additional exposure on thisstar in order to secure a detection of the minimum amount of leadexpected to be present in CS 31082-001, the am

To date, it is widely accepted that several disorders of the male and female urogenital tract, such as erectile dysfunction, bladder overactivity, urinary stone disease and the benign prostatic syndrome, can be therapeutically approached by influencing the function of the smooth musculature of the respective organs. In order to achieve a pronounced drug effect without significant adverse events, e

The objective of this thesis is to propose a way to introduce social and cultural aspects of environmental degradation to the sustainable development debate. This is done by a reflexive and critical examination of environmental research as it has been applied to different spatial levels (and thus levels of social complexity). The spatial categories discussed are the city, the household and the lan

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varför beslutar politiker ibland att vidta till synes effektlösa åtgärder? Varför uppstår ibland stora politiska konflikter i små frågor? I vanliga fall vidtar man en politisk åtgärd därför att man eftersträvar det konkreta resultatet av åtgärden. Symbolpolitik är när en politisk fråga blir viktig, inte beroende på vad den konkret innebär och leder till, utan på grund aSymbolic politics is the degree to which political decision-making is motivated, not by the tangible aspects of the decision, but by the interpretation of what the decision represents symbolically. While symbolic politics is widely recognized as an important aspect of political decision-making, the phenomenon is insufficiently explored in political science. The first aim of the present dissertatio
