Eosinophils participate in the inflammatory response seen in allergy and helminthic infestation. Their release of granule-bound cationic proteins may play a role in these diseases. Therefore, we investigated mechanisms involved in the release of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). Serum-opsonized zymosan was phagocytosed by eosinophils, and ECP was released into the phagosomes as judged by immunoel

This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of unsteady-state SOFC-GT-HS operation based on two different characteristic maps of centrifugal compressor taken from open literature and scaled by the law of similitude to match the design point of the Hybrid System. The system layout under investigation is a pressurised type comprising a low and high temperature recuperator. Computations are based on a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fem filosofihistoriska texter med en sociologisk och idéhistorisk orientering. Alla texterna rör sig inom samma tidsram, 1860-1910. De fokuserar vidare på filosofin i de nordiska länderna, och närmare bestämt universitetsfilosofin. Tre av texterna behandlar ämnets utveckling vid universiteten i Lund och Köpenhamn. Avhandlingens centrala tema är deThe dissertation comprises of five studies in the history of philosophy with primarily a sociological and history of ideas orientation. All the studies fall within the same timeframe, 1860-1910. Furthermore, they all focus on philosophy in the Nordic countries, and university philosophy in particular. Three of the texts take up the development of the discipline at the universities in Lund and Cope

The healthcare sector is resource intensive and consumes large amount of energy, water, and materials. A study on the release of carbon dioxide from a life cycle perspective of Region Scania's operations has shown that 41 % of the total CO₂ emissions is related to material consumption. A later study showed that one of the products with large climate impact was waste bags and other waste

Firms began to abandon the “silo” approach to risk management for more integration in the risk management system. Enterprise risk management (ERM) emerged as a framework for the management of integrated risks in a strategy setting supported by risk governance. Practically and empirically there has been no real consensus about what an ERM firm looks like. ERM frameworks provide a variety of concept

We examine the role of substitution from traditional to modern energy carriers and of differential rates of innovation in the use of each of these in Sweden from 1850 to 1950. We use a simple growth model with a nested CES production function and exogenous factor augmenting technological change and carry out a growth accounting decomposition based on the econometric results. Energy and energy

Abstract in Undetermined A presentation of theory, method and eight instructive case-studies regarding the premises for everyday integration within and across the urban centers of the Oresund Region.

The global governance architecture on climate change has been increasingly marked by institutional fragmentation. A growing diversity of institutions seeks to address dangerous climate change today, including international organizations, club-like forums, multi-stakeholder partnerships, regulated and voluntary markets, sub-national efforts and non-state actor initiatives. After taking stock of thi

Choice blindness is the experimental finding that people may miss changes to the outcome of their actions. This effect has been demonstrated in decision tasks concerning attractiveness of faces, as well as smell and taste of different consumer products. But so far, choice blindness experiments have only been done in the “physical” world, using real objects like photographs. Here we extend this res
