Popular Abstract in Swedish Vår hud och våra slemhinnor är ständigt koloniserade med bakterier som lever i fredligt samspel med vår organism. Dessa bakterier tillhör vår normalflora och kan indelas i kommensaler respektive opportunistiska bakterier. Kommensalerna gagnar värden på olika sätt och orsakar inte sjukdom, till skillnad från opportunisterna som under vissa betingelser kan orsaka infektioAbstractBacteria in most environments encase themselves in a hydrated matrix of polysaccharide and protein, forming organized communities called biofilms. In the biofilm bacteria are protected against hostile environments. Biofilms are important clinically because of their persistence despite host defence and their recalcitrance to antimicrobials. This thesis presents three main findings: (i) biof

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom många områden, exempelvis inom sjukvården, blir det allt vanligare med situationer där stora mängder av bilder behöver analyseras. Ofta kan dessa bildmängder vara så stora att det tar för lång tid för en människa att gå igenom dem. Till exempel kan man med hjälp av datortomografi ta tredimensionella röntgenbilder av människor, något som görs på sjukhus idag. Att gåAt the core of many computer vision models lies the minimization of an objective function consisting of a sum of functions with few arguments. The order of the objective function is defined as the highest number of arguments of any summand. To reduce ambiguity and noise in the solution, regularization terms are included into the objective function, enforcing different properties of the solution. T

The behavior of animals is commonly studied in medicine and biology. There is a large variation in what animals are studied, in experimental paradigms and purpose.However, many studies on animal behavior have at least one thing in common - it typically involves measuring or studying the kinematics of the animal. To allow for verifiable and quantitative behavioral analysis, the experiments are recoThe behavior of animals is commonly studied in medicine and biology.

Cinnamon rolls triggered anaphylactic reaction. The genesis could be wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis Two case reports from our Department of Allergology illustrate the wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA), which is a relatively rare, yet potentially fatal form of food allergy. Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most commonly grown crop world-wide, and some individuals ca

Som ett av tre perspektiv i DigiTrust-projektet riktar detta kapitel in sig mot rättens roll i relation till tillit och det digitala. Kapitlet introducerar området och analyserar sedan det s.k. Datalagringsdirektivet i ljuset av att det i april 2014 underkändes av EU-domstolen, efter att ha implementerats i medlemsstaterna. Direktivet handlar i stort om att ålägga internetoperatörer en massiv lagr

Popular Abstract in Swedish Lipasadsorption till fasta ytor studerades med hjälp av in situ ellipsometri. Samtidigt mättes aktiviteten av det adsorberade lipaset in situ genom hydrolys av p-nitrofenylacetat. Adsorption mättes till metylerade kiseloxidytor med varierande grad av metylering samt till rent kiseloxid. Olika lipaser studerades; lipas från Humicola lanuginosa (HLL)­vildtypen (WT) och enThe adsorption of lipases to solid surfaces was studied by means of in situ ellipsometry. In addition, the activities of the adsorbed lipases were measured in situ, by the hydrolysis of p-nitro phenyl acetate. Adsorption was made to methylated silica surfaces with varying degree of wettability as well as to clean silica surfaces. Lipases from Humicola lanuginosa (HLL) ­ the wild-type (WT) and a m

Vilket lands lag är tillämplig vid gränsöverskridande marknadsföring som riktar sig till Sverige? Den traditionella och i Sverige etablerade effektlandsprincipen innebär att svensk marknadsföringsrätt anses tillämplig på marknadsföring som har effekt här i riket, oavsett i vilket land marknadsföringen har sitt ursprung. I artikeln diskuterar författaren med utgångspunkt i ett avgörande från Markna

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling är inriktad på metoder för att förbättra och utvärdera infrastrukturer för geografiska data (eng. Spatial Data Infrastructure). Syftet har varit trefaldigt: att utveckla ett ramverk för hantering och utvärdering av en infrastruktur, att förbättra tillgängligheten av geografiska data i en infrastruktur, och för att förbättra kartografi i visningstjänsterThis thesis mainly focuses on methods for improving and evaluating Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs). The aim has been threefold: to develop a framework for the management and evaluation of an SDI, to improve the accessibility of spatial data in an SDI, and to improve the cartography in view services in an SDI. Spatial Data Infrastructure has been identified as an umbrella covering spatial data

I denna andra upplagas fjorton kapitel – varav tretton publicerats tidigare som artiklar i årgångarna 218-223 (2014-2019) av Kungl Krigsvetenskapsakademiens Handlingar och Tidskrift – behandlas valda spörsmål rörande våldsanvändningens, den nukleära icke-spridningens, rustningskontrollens, underrättelseverksamhetens och cyberoperationers folkrätt, krigets lagar samt förhållandet mellan militär dokThis second edition’s fourteen chapters—thirteen of which have been published previously as articles in volumes 218–223 (2014–2019) of the “Proceedings and Journal of the Royal Swedish Academy of Military Sciences”—deal with selected international law issues concerning the use of force, nuclear nonproliferation, arms control, intelligence and cyber operations, armed conflicts as well as the relati

Aquatic organisms are constantly at risk of being exposed to potentially harmful chemical compounds of natural or anthropogenic origin. Biological life can for instance respond to chemical stressors by changes in gene expression, and thus, certain gene transcripts can potentially function as biomarkers, i.e. early warnings, of toxicity and chemical stress. A major challenge for biomarker applicati

Questions about the existence and temporality of intention in jazz improvisation are investigated based on phenomenological interviews with 48 expert jazz improvisers: Do improvisers intend that which they will play, and, if so, are their conception and execution of a musical idea coincident, or are they separated in time? The findings on improvisatory cognition are summarized and discussed by mea

Purposes: The Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) has been considered the best available measure of body awareness, but it is not currently available in Spanish. Methods: To address this shortcoming, a sample of 281 Spanish participants completed a survey with a Spanish version of the BAQ, as well as the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS-2), the Self-Compassion Scale-Short (SCS-S) and the New Sexual Sat

Återköp av aktier är tillåtet i Sverige sedan år 2000. Denna förändring i redovisningspraxis har uppkommit som ett led i en institutionell förändringsprocess. En sådan process är till stor del hänförlig till olika finansiella kriser. De senaste åren har alltmer makt förflyttats från staten till näringslivet, vilket möjliggjort förändringen i ABL. De två grupperna återköpande bolag respektive ej åt

This study investigated how individuals combine information learned across temporally separate events in order to make novel inferences through memory integration, utilising EEG to provide a novel investigation with high temporal resolution. Participants completed an associative inference task (Zeithamova & Preston, 2010) modified for EEG across three experiments, during which they learned st

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur konsumenter ur Generation Y resonerar kring att “gilla” ett varumärkes Facebook-sida och därmed bidra med en djupare förståelse kring hur dessa konsumenter använder “gilla”-knappen för att visa identitet. Den teoretiska referensramen utgörs av begreppen Generation Y och Sociala Medier, som definieras för att avgränsa sammanhanget studien avser belysa. Vidare a
