Abstract:
This novel describes the uncompromising struggles of two very different characters against the crippling influences of conventional morality. The autobiography of the late medieval Johannes Faustus is interwoven with the third-person story of the twentieth-century figure Sybil Wagner. In their different historical contexts they fight against abuse, violence and depression in order to gain the ultimate objectives of sexual fulfilment, professional success, and a harmonious relationship with self and others. Part I describes the two characters' first encounters with love and death. It shows how

The Hibiscus Snake is a collection of poetry investigating the female experience encountering danger. She explores psychic landscapes descended in the unconscious uncanny, the feminine body within the context of horror, and lyrical poems about living in working class communities in San Bernardino. The collection attempts to subvert the presentation of the female body in Horror genres, moving it from a position of victimization to empowerment. In other poems, the speaker ventures into horror-like psychic landscapes filled with images representing the anxiety experienced growing up in a city whe

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Feber drabbar barn någon eller några gånger om året, framförallt under småbarnstiden. En vanlig missuppfattning är att feber är ett potentiellt farligt tillstånd som kräver behandling. I motsats till detta har feber gynnsamma effekter när det kommer till kroppens bekämpande av infektioner. Kunskapsläget bland distriktssköterskor som ska tillhandahålla föräldrar rådgivning kring feber och febernedsättande läkemedel varierar, varför föräldrar riskerar att erhålla motstridiga och direkt felaktiga råd.

Abstract:
Relapsing fever (RF) is caused by different species of Borrelia transmitted by soft ticks or by the human body louse. Illness is characterized by reappearing peaks of high concentrations of spirochetes in blood, concordant with fever peaks separated by asymptomatic periods. Neuroborreliosis is one of the most severe manifestations of RF borreliosis. To understand the immune response during early RF, we analyzed immune cells in brain and kidney of mice infected with B. crocidurae during the acute infection. Our results indicate that brain defense is comprised primarily of innate immune cells. D

This thesis aims to investigate human antibody responses to dengue virus. Dengue virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus that circulates as 4 distinct serotypes in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. It is known that immunity to one serotype of the virus can be life-long but upon infection with a different serotype there is a much higher incidence of severe disease. Antibodies play an important role in this immunopathogenesis. Serotype cross-reactive antibodies have been shown to enhance the uptake of virus by Fc receptor-bearing host cells, thereby increasing the number of cells infe
