Background: A significant proportion of patients with asthma have persistent symptoms despite treatment with inhaled glucocorticosteroids. Objective: We hypothesized that in these patients, the alveolar parenchyma is subjected to mast cell-associated alterations. Methods: Bronchial and transbronchial biopsies from healthy controls (n = 8), patients with allergic rhinitis (n = 8), and patients with

“Water is life”. During the past decade this phrase has been used repeatedly to emphasize the importance of a number of issues surrounding water services provision including, supply, distribution, governance and political will. This research seeks to investigate the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC), a water utility in Kenya, which faces the monumental task of providing water and san

BACKGROUND: After amputation, the sensorimotor cortex reorganizes, and these alterations might influence motor functions of the remaining extremities.OBJECTIVE: The authors examined how amputation of the dominant or nondominant upper or lower extremity alters deftness in the intact limbs.METHODS: The participants were 32 unilateral upper- or lower-extremity amputees and 6 controls. Upper-extremity

The purpose of this thesis is to examine how state biographical narratives can change and how this process might affect a state’s ontological security. Moreover, it looks at whether interstate friendship could alleviate any feelings of anxiety caused by such changes. Using the case of Austria after World War II, the analysis focuses on political elites’ articulations of Austrian state identity alo

This thesis is about autistic women. It is about how we, as a society, construct and perceive normality and motherhood as a normative ideal for women. It is also about a dis/ability that often goes unnoticed since autism is not defined by any visible markers. Rather, autism is categorized by behaviour considered atypical through the medical gaze. How to make visible the invisible, the in-between

This essay examines the personifications of Death in Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief (2005), Christopher Moore’s A Dirty Job (2006) and George Pendle’s Death: A Life (2008). The personifications are analysed in terms of gender, anthropomorphism, (im)mortality, agency in conceptual death and attitude towards their occupation as Death. The personifications are also compared to previous portrayals in r

We present an interim archaeological report on the ship- wreck of the Danish-Norwegian flagship Gribshunden. Built in 1485, extensively employed by King Hans as his floating castle, and ultimately lost in June 1495 en route to Kalmar, the ship carried people and material selected to further the political goal of re-unifying the Nordic region. Three field campaigns led by Lund University and Blekin

Background: Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies associated vasculitides (AAV) are characterized by autoimmune small vessel inflammation. Eosinophils are multifunctional cells with both pro-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties. Tissue activated eosinophils secrete cyto- and chemokines and form extracellular traps (EETs), they release free granules and produce reactive oxygen species. The

The gene for an IgA-binding protein from a group A streptococcal strain was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The IgA-binding protein, called protein Arp, was purified on IgA-Sepharose, allowing complete purification in a single step. Analysis of protein Arp by Western immunoblotting demonstrated a major IgA-binding band, with an apparent molecular weight of 42 kD. The purified protein was

The performance of LNAs and VCOs is of large importance to the complete wireless communications system. To achieve sufficient performance in microwave applications, LNAs and VCOs have therefore up to now mostly been manufactured in advanced and expensive semiconductor technologies. In this thesis it is shown, however, that by using a standard CMOS technology, combined with different packaging and

The aim of this special issue is to advance research on biblical reception in Scandinavian contexts and to offer new insights into the intricate relationship between religiosity and secularity more broadly. This is done by engaging with theoretical questions concerning religion, secularity, and biblical reception in the modern world. In this introduction, we contextualize the special issue in rela
