Signalling to Activation of Cytosolic Phospholipase A2 and Arachidonate Release in Macrophages

Eicosanoids 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

Nike’s Dream Crazy campaign and how it influenced views and opinions towards the brand

Syfte: Nike lanserade år 2018 en kampanj vid namnet Dream Crazy som skapade kontroversiella reaktioner i sociala medier samt en hög grad av mediaexponering. Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att ta reda på vad svenska studenter med åldern 19-24 tänker kring den politiska aspekten av den här kampanjen, och hur mycket det påverkar deras köpbeslut. Metod: Materialet samlades in genom djupgående pe

Ett brännglas för tidens strålar : striden om Torgny Segerstedts docentur 1903

On 1st September 1903, the Faculty of Theology at the University of Lund took the decision to appoint Torgny Segerstedt as a senior lecturer in spite of his failed doctoral dissertation. The public defence of his thesis had taken place on 28th May in the same year before the Faculty of Theology at Uppsala. It was thus after his failure that the Faculty at Lund nevertheless decided to invite him to

This study investigates the concept of believing in Michel de Certeau's writings. My thesis is that a connection exists between his analysis of believing and an attitude of migration, displacement, voyage and existential quest. This connection concerns even his personal life in so far as he moves from one discipline to another. My study tries to reconstruct and discuss this complex of migrations o

Implicita och explicita attityder gentemot kvinnor En studie om sambandet mellan implicita och explicita attityder

Denna studie undersöker implicita och explicita attityder till kvinnor i Sverige och sambandet däremellan. Urvalet bestod av män och kvinnor (N = 62) i olika åldrar och yrkesbefattningar i Sverige. För att fånga deltagarnas implicita associationer användes Implicit Association Test (IAT). IAT ämnar att mäta personers automatiska och spontana implicita associationer. De explicita attityderna mättes

Analyzing Vegetation Trends with Sensor Data from Earth Observation Satellites

Abstract This thesis aims to advance the analysis of nonlinear trends in time series of vegetation data from Earth observation satellite sensors. This is accomplished by developing fast, efficient methods suitable for large volumes of data. A set of methods, tools, and a framework are developed and verified using data from regions containing vegetation change hotspots. First, a polynomial-fittin

Employment Security: A sustainable strategy for the future, or an extended leeway for exploitation of workers?

Den här uppsatsen har syftat till att undersöka flexicurity och dess underkategori kallad employment security och hur dess utbredning har påverkat arbetsmarknaderna i Sverige och Italien, och genom en komparation av dessa båda kombinerat med en ordentlig utredning kring flexicuritybegreppet försökt ge en bild av huruvida den är en strategi för framtiden för EU som helhet. Båda länderna har i ett h

Preliminary Results of Combining Thread-Level Speculation and Just-in-Time Compilation in Google’s V8

We present the first implementation of Thread-Level Speculation in combination with Just-in-time compilation. The implementation is done in Google’s V8, a well-known JavaScript engine, and evaluated on 15 popular web application executing on 2, 4, and 8 core computers. Our results show an average speedup of 2.9 on 4 cores, without any JavaScript code modifications. Further, we have found that the

The Rise of Procedural Rule of Law in the European Union - Historical and Normative Foundations

The rule of law in the EU is not only substantive and formal, it is also procedural. From the early years of European integration until now – and this through the interpretative lens of either the terse Article 31 ECSC or the robust Article 19 TEU - the procedural rule of law has always been thriving and jolting in the case law of both the European Coal and Steal Community (ECSC) Court and the Cou
