Transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) is a member of a large family of polypeptide growth factors. TGFβ signals mainly through the intracellular proteins Smad2 and Smad3, which are highly similar in amino acid sequence identity. A number of studies have shown that these proteins, dependent on context, have distinct roles in the TGFβ signaling pathway. TGFβ is one of the most potent inhibitors of hem

Background: During rubber vulcanization, new compounds can be formed. Objectives: To report a case of allergic shoe dermatitis in which the search for the allergen ultimately led to the identification of dimethylthiocarbamylbenzothiazole sulfide (DMTBS). Methods: A female presented with eczema on her feet after wearing Sperry Top Sider® canvas sneakers. Patch testing was performed with the Europea

Objectives: Guidelines recommend a 0-hour/1-hour high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) diagnostic strategy in acute chest pain patients. There are, however, little data on the performance of this strategy when combined with clinical risk stratification. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of an accelerated diagnostic protocol (ADP) using the 0-hour/1-hour hs-cTnT strategy together

This thesis muses the question; how do we understand firm growth in immigrant owned firms? Two literature streams are proposed to be relevant. Firstly, theimmigrant entrepreneurship field, which is developing and becoming increasinglysophisticated. Though despite appeals from within the field, that we need a widerspan of concepts to explain the changing heterogeneity and fabric of immigrantentrepr

In this paper, scattering of electromagnetic waves by discrete, randomly distributed objects inside a (finite thickness or semi-infinite) slab is addressed.In general, the non-intersecting scattering objects can be of arbitrary form, material and shape with a number density of $n_0$ (number of scatterers per volume).The main aim of this paper is to calculate the coherent reflection and transmissio

In this eye-tracking and drawing study, we investigate the perceptual grounding of different types of spatial dimensions such as DENSE–SPARSE and TOP–BOTTOM, focusing both on the participants’ experiences of the opposite regions, e.g., O1: DENSE; O2: SPARSE, and the region that is experienced as intermediate, e.g., INT: NEITHER DENSE NOR SPARSE. Six spatial dimensions expected to have three differ

Ideation means to generate ideas, and when involving non-designers in these activities they need to be informed about the scope of the possibilities without limiting their imagination. This is a general challenge, which becomes particularly important when it comes to advanced technology ideation together with participants that may not have in-depth knowledge of technological designs and solutions.

Entreprenörskap och egenföretagande framställs idag som betydelsefulla faktorer avseende både tillväxt, sysselsättnings- och integrationsproblem. I en ny kunskapsöversikt presenteras och diskuteras kunskap om invandring och företagande ur ett internationellt och svenskt perspektiv. Översikten redogör för om det finns något särskilt som karaktäriserar utlandsföddas företagande exempelvis vad gäller

In recent years entrepreneurship has become one of the most popular fields of research in management studies. As the subject has broadened, increasing attention has been paid to the behavioural aspects of different practices to identify and pursue entrepreneurial opportunities. This timely book analyses three key strands of contemporary research into entrepreneurial behaviour: intention, education

Soft tissue tumors (STT) constitute a heterogeneous group of tumors that arise in tissues of mesenchymal origin. They are currently classified according to morphology and resemblance to normal tissue into over 100 subtypes. Differentiation between the different subtypes can sometimes be difficult, and along with the fact that little is known about the mechanisms of STT development, this makes adeq

Gender studies have lately paid special attention to the oscillating condition of masculinity in an ever-changing society (see Shira Tarrant, Men Speak Out, 2008). As these aspects were taken into consideration especially in the United States, a very good representation of this straggling sexuality is to be found in Ken Kesey’s novel One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Oppressing the mental oppositio

Strategisk kommunikation är en avgörande framgångsfaktor för många organisationer, men tiden har sprungit förbi de traditionella, linjära kommunikationsmodellerna. I en värld i ständig förändring, där det handlar om att agera nu och situationsanpassat, krävs något annat. I den här boken introduceras strategisk improvisation som ett nytt sätt att tänka och agera kommunikativt. Den är skriven för di
