  2. 1. Clearing for Action : Leadership as a Relational Phenomenon

    Author : Lucia Crevani; Monica Lindgren; Johann Packendorff; Janne Tienari; KTH; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Industrial organisation; administration and economics; Industriell organisation; administration och ekonomi;

    Abstract : Although leadership is deemed to matter, scholars seldom pay attention to the phenomenon itself, as it is happening. Hence definitions abound, but there is a lack of vocabulary for expressing what leadership is about without ending up talking of individual leaders and/or descriptions of abstract “goodness”.

  4. 2. Clearing up Culex Confusion : A Basis for Virus Vector Discrimination in Europe

    Author : Jenny C. Hesson; Jan O. Lundström; Örjan Östman; Åke Lundkvist; Anssi Laurila; Laura D Kramer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Culex torrentium; Culex pipiens; mosquitoes; vector; ornithophilic; Sindbis virus; West Nile virus; Populationsbiologi; Population Biology;

    Abstract : Mosquito species of the Culex genus are the enzootic vectors for several bird-associated viruses that cause disease in humans. In Europe, these viruses include Sindbis (SINV), West Nile and Usutu viruses. The morphologically similar females of Cx. torrentium and Cx. READ MORE

  5. 3. Interaction studies of idiotypic and antiidiotypic antibodies at experimental tumor targeting

    Author : Ann Erlandsson; Mats Ohlin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : anti-idiotypic antibody; clearing; cytokeratin 8; epitope; idiotypic antibody; immunotherapy;

    Abstract : An increasing number of antibodies are being labeled with radionuclides for immunotargeting, but the negative side effects generated on normal tissues by the nuclide remains a significant problem. The clearing of non-tumor-targeted radiolabeled antibodies from the circulation contributes significantly to improved targeting; it has been demonstrated that anti-idiotypic antibodies can be used for this purpose.

  6. 4. Complement in Autoimmunity - the importance of clearing waste

    Author : Jonatan Leffler; Malmö Proteinkemi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; annexins; apoptosis; Complement system; neutrophil extracellular traps; systemic lupus erythematosus; C1q; factor H; histones;

    Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where improperly cleared apoptotic cells and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) induce an autoimmune response. Complement is crucial to prevent SLE by tailoring immune responses and opsonizing dead cells but may also induce inflammation and tissue damage once the disease is initiated. READ MORE

  7. 5. Large Eddy Simulation of clearings in forest and their effect on wind turbines

    Author : Johanna Matsfelt; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; OpenFOAM; FAST; Wind turbine; SOWFA; forest clearing; CFD; ALM; LES;

    Abstract : When the number of wind farms increases, the number of wind turbines placed in forested areas will also increase, this is because of the large forest areas in Sweden. When the wind turbines are placed in forested areas the fatigue loads increase drastically, so their maintenance costs increase making them less profitable. READ MORE
