Popular Abstract in Swedish Trots att kroppen skyddas av ett hudlager på utsidan och av epitelceller i kroppens inre organ utsätts vi hela tiden för infektioner. När en vävnad blir infekterad börjar cellerna utsöndra inflammatoriska mediatorer som bland annat orsakar svullnad och rodnad. En inflammation kan också orsakas av till exempel slag eller brännskador. De inflammatoriska mediatorerna signaThis thesis describes early inflammatory responses involving interactions between leukocytes and the endothelial lining of the blood vessel wall. An adhesion molecule, E-selectin, which is upregulated on interleukin-1 activated endothelium, was found to mediate rolling between leukocytes and endothelial cells in vivo. Immunohistochemistry revealed that E-selectin was preferentially expressed in ve

Under 1600- och 1700-talen uppfattades diktaren ofta som rollgestaltare. Charles Batteux menar i sin inflytelserika studie över de sköna konsterna, "Les Beaux arts réduits à un même principe" (1746), att poeten precis som skådespelaren bör ha förmågan att leva sig in i olika karaktärer. I likhet med skådespelaren skulle poeten således träda in i roller, sätta på sig masker och i diktens form ge ut

Just like the first theories in physics viewed atoms as independent and surrounded by a void, our bodies’ microscopic constituents are often portrayed as disconnected from the body as a unified organism, and from its cultural and social contexts. In The Atomized Body the authors examine the relations between culture, society and bioscientific research and show how our bodies’ singularized atoms in

In this thesis the strategic behaviour of the three operators (Televerket/Telia, PTT Telecom and BT) on strong technological development and deregulation of the business during a period of fifteen years have been described, interpreted and analysed. Some thirty more operators have also been investigated in this respect - however not in depth. The strategic behaviour of the operators have been comp

This paper describes preliminary results from the test-retest of the NAME 1.0. Four scales were tested: Mobility-related participation frequency; Mobility ease/difficulty; Mobility dependence; Extent of assistance in mobility. The test was conducted in the five Nordic countries. In all 147 mobility device users took part in the study, mean age 60 years (range 19 - 93). Each participant was intervi

Iterative decoding methods allow efficient decoding of long codes that are composed of smaller component codes. As a result reliable communication can be achieved with low decoding complexity even for rates close to Shannon capacity. This makes iteratively decodable codes a very attractive object of study in modern coding theory. This thesis focuses on different kinds of cycles which appear in th
