Background: Vaccine development for Group B Streptococcus (GBS), a common cause of invasive disease in early-infancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes, include exploring widely-expressed GBS surface proteins as vaccine epitopes. We investigated the association between natural infant serum IgG against the RibN and Alp1N domains and risk of invasive GBS disease caused by isolates expressing these prote

The decreasing uncertainties in theoretical predictions and experimental measurements of several hadronic observables related to weak processes, which in many cases are now smaller than O(1%), require theoretical calculations to include subleading corrections that were neglected so far. Precise determinations of leptonic and semi-leptonic decay rates, including QED and strong isospin-breaking effe

Jury and Martin establish an analogue of the classical inner-outer factorization of Hardy space functions. They show that every function f in a Hilbert function space with a normalized complete Pick reproducing kernel has a factorization of the type f = ϕg, where g is cyclic, ϕ is a contractive multiplier, and ||f|| = ||g||. In this paper we show that if the cyclic factor is assumed to be what we

This study contributes a novel perspective on how new venture teams navigate task re-allocation during the new venture development phase. It highlights the relevance of task re-allocation conflict, shows how “negative affect expectations” shape the unfolding of such conflicts, and demonstrates why acting out conflict and its associated negative affect can enable team members to make substantial ta

Politiker och stadsplanerare lyfter fram kultur och kreativitet som centrala i samhällsutvecklingen. Men vad är det som gör kulturellt och kreativt företagande särskilt intressant i ett samhällsekonomiskt perspektiv? Vilka fördelar eller begränsningar ger utvecklingsstöd till sådana företag?Katja Lindqvist har kartlagt vad man har gjort i Sverige för att stödja utvecklingen av kulturella och kreat

This paper investigates whether a City Scan Procedure (CSP) can be developed into a value enhancing and economically acceptable solution to make cultural tourismsustainable. The purpose of developing CSP into an established method is both to relieve stressed tourist destinations with strong anti-tourist reactions via site relocations and that its revenues primarily accrues to the host country, thu

This paper investigates how stakeholders respond to digital feasibility study images to augmented reality (AR), with the purpose to determine if AR could be the right practical application to create Virtual tourism. Based on the visitors’ perspective via qualitative interviews, the goal is to explore whether a digitalization in a realistic way, manages to mediate the concealed time layers and othe

With robots increasingly succeeding in exhibiting more human-like behaviours, humans may be more likely to ‘forgive’ their errors and continue to trust them as a result of ascribing higher, more human-like intelligence to them. If an integral aspect of successful HRI is to accurately communicate the competence of a robot, it can be argued that the technical success of the robot in exhibiting human

Trust in Human-Robot Interaction is a widely studied subject, and yet, few studies have examined the ability to speak and how it impacts trust towards a robot. Errors can have a negative impact on perceived trustworthiness of a robot. However, there seem to be mitigating effects, such as using a humanoid robot, which has been shown to be perceived as more trustworthy when having a high error-rate

In 1921, disgruntled and radicalised veterans of the First World War organised the Ukrainian Military Organisation (UVO) after unsuccessfully taking up arms for Ukrainian independence. In 1929 the UVO merged with a number of other far-right groups and student fraternities into the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists. The leading figure in the 1920s and 1930s was Evhen’ Konovalets’, a former col
