Popular Abstract in Swedish Summary in swedish I en rad olika inflammatoriska sjukdomar såsom astma, reumatoid artrit och parodontit är makrofager involverade. Makrofager är vita blodkroppar som finns i kroppens olika vävnader. De reagerar på främmande partiklar, t ex bakterier, och bekämpar dessa genom att ”dels äta upp” främmande partiklar, sk fagocytos, och dels genom att utsöndra olika substaEicosanoids include prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, which are arachidonic acid oxygenation products. These lipids make important contributions to the signs and symptoms of inflammatory diseases. The level of free arachidonic acid seems to be a rate-limiting factor in the synthesis of eicosanoids and the enzyme cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) has been shown to preferentially liber

Popular Abstract in Swedish I den boreala och tempererade klimatzonen är växternas fenologi synkroniserad med årstidsväxlingar i temperatur och dagslängd. För lövträd påverkar tidpunkten för knoppsprickning och lövfärgning både tillväxt och risktagande. En förlängd växtsäsong till följd av ett varmare klimat innebär sannolikt högre produktivitet inom skogsbruket, men kan också leda till ökad risk Plant phenology in the boreal and temperate climate zones is synchronised with seasonal changes in temperature and photoperiod. For deciduous trees, timing of budburst and leaf colouring define the growing season length and express adaptations to trade-offs in growth and risks. An extended growing season due to climate warming will likely increase forest productivity, however these potential benef

Vem har rätt till staden i en tid präglad av ökad ojämlikhet, gentrifiering och konkurrens städer emellan? Hur har nyliberalismen berett rum för kapitalismen genom att frånta människor deras platser och rättigheter? Vilka är förutsättningarna för samhällsförändring? I Ojämlikhetens nya geografi analyserar kulturgeografen David Harvey den globala kapitalismens nya rumslighet och den ojämlikhet so

The construction sector provides the direct means to the development and expansion of economic activities, but is at the same time a major consumer of physical and natural resources and a polluter of the environment. Over the last decades, the environmental impact of construction activities has grown dramatically due to the increase in the world population and greater industrial and human activity

GIS competence is increasing and GIS applications are nowadays used in nearly every area of society. In the perspectives of lifelong learning the needs for GIS knowledge vary widely among target groups depending on previous knowledge, interests, profession, language, age, ability, economic resources and employability. GIS allows us to view, understand, interpret, request, and visualize data in man

The phenomenon of intermedial conceptual loans is central to our understanding of the time-based arts. This thesis focuses on the usage of the term storytelling with regard to jazz improvisation. The aim of the investigation is to clarify how this concept is used by Swedish jazz practitioners. The framework of the study includes theories of narrativity and of metaphor as well as educational and

Clock nets are the major source of power consumption in large, high-performance ASICs and a design bottleneck when it comes to tolerable clock skew. A way to obviate the global clock net is to partition the design into large synchronous blocks each having its own clock. Data with other blocks is exchanged asynchronously using handshake signals. Adopting such a strategy requires a methodology that

Background. It is expected that fuel cells will play a significant role in a future sustainable energy system, due to their high energy efficiency and possibility to use renewable fuels. Fuels, such as biogas, can be produced locally close to the customers. The improvement for fuel cells during the last years has been fast, but the technology is still in the early phases of development, however th
