Background: The development of factor (F) VIII neutralizing alloantibodies (inhibitors) is a major complication of treatment with FVIII concentrates in hemophilia A and the etiology is still poorly understood. The low-affinity Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma R), which are expressed on immune cells, provide an important link between cellular and humoral immunity by interacting with IgG subtypes. Genet
In the developing process of medical devices three perspectives have to be considered; the users, the producers and the regulatory, still the user perspective is of special importance for the success of a product. At the same time possibilities are gradually reduced for medical technology companies to obtain new external ideas, mainly caused by the increased technical content of today’s medical de
Legitimacy has been a key concept in political philosophy since Plato’s Republic. In this degree project I examine the way in which Shakespeare portrays royal legitimacy in seven of his History plays: Richard II, Henry IV parts I-II, Henry V and Henry VI parts I-III.

Many studies have over the years utilized gravity models derived from trade theories to investigate how various factors affect trade in agricultural goods. Although technological improvements could be considered in such models, few studies have considered this topic in depth, leaving a void to fill. To partly fill this void, this study has chosen the silk sector to analyze the impact of technologi
The global pandemic has initially negatively influenced the financial markets all over the world. As a consequence, the volatility in the stock markets increased and investors have experienced great monetary losses. In addition, the volatility spillover has increased between different markets and assets, which additionally amplifies the negative influence by the pandemic. This motivates the search

To deal with that, two adaptive questions have to be answ

From a reputation of an industrial and trading city, Aalborg has changed into a contemporary university city, with a strong development of creative clusters in knowledge-based industries. Nowadays the Vækstaksen, an urban growth axis set by the municipality, has become the driving force in the city’s development to avoid further sprawl. A great part of East Aalborg belongs to this axis and is curr
It is sometimes said that modern politics has lost track of ideology and vision - that personal charisma and expertise is rewarded more than firm beliefs and connections with an organised movement. In their book Technopopulism: the New Logic of Democratic Politics, Christopher J. Bickerton and Carlo Invernizzi Accetti go beyond such suspicions. Their main argument is that the organisational politi

The Directive not only introduces several new solutions, but also transforms those already existing – reshaping the legal background to a large extent.
