An important regulatory suppressive function in autoimmune and other inflammatory processes has been ascribed to CD4(+) Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs), which requires direct cell-cell communication between Tregs, effector T cells, and APCs. However, the molecular basis for these interactions has not yet been clarified. We show here that sialoadhesin (Sn), the prototype of the siglec family of
We present first measurements of charged and neutral particle-flow correlations in pp collisions using the ATLAS calorimeters. Data were collected in 2009 and 2010 at centre-of-mass energies of 900 GeV and 7 TeV. Events were selected using a minimum-bias trigger which required a charged particle in scintillation counters on either side of the interaction point. Particle flows, sensitive to the und
Growth factors control cellular growth, proliferation, and differentiation and may have therapeutic applications. In this study, we focus on Meteorin which is a member of a largely uncharacterized evolutionary conserved two-member growth factor family. Our analysis shows that Meteorin is expressed in the central nervous system both during development and in adult mice. Detailed immunohistological
The aim of this study was to gain insights into the tempo and mode of the evolutionary processes that sustain genetic diversity in coxsackievirus B5 (CVB5) and into the interplay with virus transmission. We estimated phylodynamic patterns with a large sample of virus strains collected in Europe by Bayesian statistical methods, reconstructed the ancestral states of genealogical nodes, and tested fo
Background: There has been substantial progress in epidemiological research on prostate cancer over the last decade. An area of increasing interest is the possible role of sexual activity and history of sexually transmitted infections as a risk factor for prostate cancer. Specific sexually transmitted infections have only inconsistently been associated with prostate cancer, with positive associati
Objectives: Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, the performance of 24-h dietary recall (24-HDR) measurements as reference measurements in a linear regression calibration model is evaluated critically at the individual (within-centre) and aggregate (between-centre) levels by using unbiased estimates of urinary measurements of nitrogen and potassium
Rättssociologiska enheten har haft uppdraget att utvärdera försöksverksamheten med barnahus för barn som utsatts för brott. Socialtjänst, sjukvård och rättsvårdande myndigheter ska samverka under ett tak, med målsättningen att barnanpassa utredningar och undvika att barn i onödan utsätts för upprepade kontakter med olika myndigheter. Utredningarnas kvalitet ska höjas för att ge bättre underlag för
Objectives Prothrombin complex concentrates have been used to correct dilutional coagulopathy, but many preparations contain anticoagulants, such as heparin, to counteract their prothrombotic effects. These anticoagulants can interfere with haemostatic assays. The aim of this study was to monitor two different prothrombin complex concentrates for the treatment of albumin dilution in vitro, using r
Many people are struggling with eco-anxiety, a chronic fear of environmental doom. Currently, eco-anxiety is managed through face-to-face psychotherapy, but with a lack of eco-anxiety psychology specialists, mobile mental-health applications bring new possibilities. In this thesis, current psychological eco-anxiety management responses (EMRs) are thematically analysed through the lens of Integral
Today, one of the main economic engines is construction field. A few periods of history showed that in Lithuania, the main goal for the companies were to build fast, cheap dwellings on the empty lots. The capital of Lithuania, Vilnius city is not an exception. City is built ineffectively. Functions, neighbourhoods are far apart from each other and the transportation ineffectiveness leads to the lo
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change identified deforestation as the main cause of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases in developing countries and since then the mechanism on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation; and the role of conservation, sustainable management of forests and enhancement of forest carbon stocks in developing countries (REDD+) has been d
The focus of this thesis is the debate regarding gasoline taxes in Sweden which is an example of a polarised sustainability debate. The aim is to get an in-depth understanding of the antagonisms of the debate by looking into how the pro and contra sides create and maintain cultural legitimacy and societal resonance through discursive struggles. Moreover, this thesis explores the framing struggles
Klimatkompensation genom skogsplantering i Globala Syd har blivit ett allt mer vanligt sätt för företag att åtgärda sina växthusgasutsläpp, och därigenom sälja produkter och tjänster med netto noll utsläpp. I Sverige går snabbmatsrestaurangen MAX Burgers AB ett steg längre. De kompenserar 10 % mer än vad de släpper ut genom carbon dioxide removal (CDR), och hävdar därför att de har en "klimatCarbon offsetting through forest sequestration in the Global South has become an increasingly common way for companies to mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions and thereby sell products and services with net zero emissions. In Sweden, fast food company MAX Burgers AB goes even further. They offset 10 % more than what they emit through carbon dioxide removal (CDR), thus claiming to have a “climat
Inom musikpsykologi har många studier antytt att musik kan påverka emotioner. Denna kvalitativa studie sökte att utforska de emotionella och kognitiva effekterna samt användningar av musik av musiker, särskilt gällande coping och reglering av emotioner. Semi-strukturerade intervjuer utfördes med tio musiker. Datan analyserades genom användning av tematisk analys under ett kritisk realistiskt paradIn the field of music psychology, many studies have suggested that music can influence emotions. This qualitative study aimed to explore the emotional and cognitive effects and usage of music by musicians, especially pertaining to coping and regulating emotions. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten musicians. The data were analysed using thematic analysis under a critical realist par
Aim: This thesis aims to develop a deeper understanding of how junior and senior preschool teachers engage in knowledge sharing and learning in a public sector organisation as well as how their knowledge sharing and learning behaviour is being challenged. Literature Review: Our literature review focuses on knowledge and knowledge sharing and relates it specifically to the public sector which corre
In 2019, a new program in library and information science was initiated by Södertörns högskola, with the description that they wanted their education to show the complexities of practical librarianship, implicitly in conflict with more theoretical educations today. This conflict between the theoretical and the practical within library and information science education is the starting point for thi
Agriculture is necessary for providing nutrition to a growing global population. However, many unsustainable agricultural practices contribute to climate change, cause local pollution and disrupt natural biological and nutrient cycles. Conservation agriculture (CA) is one of the many practices that have been proposed to meet the challenge of sustainable agricultural production. CA aims to restore
På vilka värderingar och grundläggande teorier baserar sig vårt rättsystem och vad är lagens bindande kraft? Hur kan dessa teorier förklara klyftan mellan moraliska regler och lagregler? Denna uppsats består av tre delar. De två första delarna [Kap. 2 och 3] är mer deskriptiva och består dels av ett kapitel om illegal fildelning, dels av en analys av skandinavisk rättsrealism, framför allt VilhelThe general moral attitude is, to consider copyright infringements on the Internet as a socially acceptable behaviour. While the record industry and judicial system have both monetary and other reasons to fight illegal file sharing, both the technological and the moral development are combating these efforts. The legal realism as represented by Vilhelm Lundstedt is based on the idea that the lega
This thesis is about the licensing system of the Creative Commons discussed from the perspective of the theory of the commons mostly as formulated by Elinor Ostrom. The work is started by describing the concepts and theory of common pool resources and regime of the commons for production and distribution of these resources. The main characteristics for successful traditional commons – efficiency,
