  2. 1. Liberalizing the Telecommunications Industry-Impacts on the Asian Market (Licentiate Thesis)

    Author : Chalita Srinuan; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; independent regulator; Liberalization; Asian market; competition; digital divide; re-regulation; entry relaxation; privatization; carrier performance;

    Abstract : The liberalization of telecommunications seems to be an unstoppable trend. National governments, facing similar competitive pressures and rapid technological developments, have undertaken regulatory reforms such as privatization of state-owned carriers, entry relaxation and the introduction of new regulatory regime under the control of an independent regulator.

  4. 2. Plasminogen : a novel inflammatory regulator that promotes wound healing

    Author : Yue Shen; Tor Ny; Gunilla Høyer-Hansen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Plasminogen; inflammation; wound healing; diabetic wounds; tympanic membrane perforations; medicinsk biokemi; Medical Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The plasminogen activator (PA) system has been shown to be intimately involved in wound healing. However, the role of this system in the initiation and resolution of inflammation during healing process remained to be determined. READ MORE

  5. 3. GM-CSF. A regulator of pre-implantation embryo development

    Author : Cecilia Sjöblom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : GM-CSF blastocyst embryo culture cytokine growth factor GM-CSF receptor glucose transport apoptosis;

    Abstract : GM-CSF is a multifunctional cytokine expressed in abundance in the female reproductive tract during early pregnancy. We have investigated the regulatory influence of GM-CSF in development of pre-implantation mouse and human embryos. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha : dependent and independent regulation of hematopoietic stem cells and leukemia

    Author : Camilla Halvarsson; Jan-Ingvar Jönsson; Mikael Sigvardsson; Kamil Kranc; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis has studied the role of low oxygen levels, or hypoxia, in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and how, at the molecular level, it regulates stem cell maintenance and protects against oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). HSCs reside within the bone marrow in specific niches created by a unique vascularized environment, which is suggested to be hypoxic and crucial for HSCs by maintaining a quiescent state of cell cycle and by redirecting metabolism away from the mitochondria to glycolysis.

  7. 5. The autoimmune regulator : studies of immunological tolerance in mouse and man

    Author : Emma Lindh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The aim of the work presented in this thesis was to investigate how failure in the mechanisms that regulate self-tolerance can lead to autoimmune disease. In particular, I have studied a key player in immunological tolerance, the autoimmune regulator gene (AIRE). READ MORE
