Byte av kommunikationsstrategi när nationsobligatoriet faller : En fallstudie av hur nationerna i Uppsala bör agera om nationsobligatoriet faller
No full textAbstract Title: Change of communication strategy when the compulsory nation membership falls (Byte av kommunikationsstrategi när nationsobligatoriet faller) Number of pages: 51 (58 including enclosures) Author: Elin Rantakokko Tutor: Peder Hård af Segerstad Course: Media and Communication Studies 30 hp Period: Spring of 2008 University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala University Purpose/Aim: This essay will result in some guidelines how the nations in Uppsala can act if the law according the compulsory membership in the student union and the student nations change. This essay focuses on how the nations can communicate to keep their members. Material/method: I have done seven interviews with persons that work in three different nations and the head of the Curators convent (the collaboration center between the nations), I have read articles from the largest newspapers and web pages. I have also read the Commission of Inquiry's recommendation according abolishing the law regarding the compulsory nation and student union membership. I have created two scenarios based on the material, according to Peter Schwartz advises. Main results: These scenarios show that the student nations have to become better at communicating with their new members and their already existing members. Keywords: Scenario planning, marketing, communication, student union, student nation, market segmentation, strategic communication, profile, organizations change
Effects of polysaccharide isolated from Streptococcus thermophilus CRL1190 on human gastric epithelial cells
No full textEPS1190 was isolated from skim milk fermented with Stretococcus thermophilus CRL1190. The polysaccha-ride consisted of 33% glucose and 66% galactose with 1,4- and 1,4,6-galactose residues as main buildingblocks beside a high amount of 1,4-linked glucose. The polymer was characterized additionally con-cerning viscosity and zeta potential. EPS1190 stimulated cellular vitality and proliferation of humanstomach AGS cells and human buccal KB cells significantly. EPS1190 stimulated phagocytosis rate ofmurine macrophages RAW264.7 significantly. NO-release or anti-inflammatory effects by inhibition ofLPS-induced NO release were not observed. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that EPS1190 ispartially internalized into AGS cells via endosomes. The bioadhesive absorption of FITC-labeled EPS1190into the mucus layer on the apical side of the epithelium using histological tissue sections from humanstomach was observed. Specific interaction of EPS1190 with mucin can be excluded as shown by micro-viscosimetry studies. EPS1190 increased the adhesion of H. pylori to AGS cells, which resulted in increasedsecretion of proinflammatory cytokines TNFa, IL-6 and IL-8. Summarizing, EPS1190 seems to stimulateepithelial cell regeneration and immunological innate defense mechanisms, which again can rationalizedthe use of this polysaccharide as cytoprotective compound in probiotioc preparations.Fil: Marcial, Guillermo Emilio.

The Navy and Jointness: no longer reluctant partners?
Get PDFThis thesis examines the intention and effectiveness of the changes initiated by the Goldwater-Nichols Department of Defense Reorganization
Act of 1986 (GNAI with emphasis on the United States Navy. This assessment considers the implications for future national security of present
trends in the balance of power between joint and service institutions within the Department of Defense (DOD). Interviews conducted by the
author with key individuals involved in the writing and implementation of GNA legislation, coupled with a review of the literature, provide the
basis for understanding the intent behind GNA and its provisions. In assessing the effectiveness of GNA, this thesis focuses on three areas:
operations, plans, and people, and how the key change mechanisms implemented by GNA are impacting these areas. The author forwards policy
recommendations, for both DOD and the Navy aimed at making "jointness" more relevant and meaningful.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Lieutenant, United States Navyhttp://archive.org/details/thenavyndjointne109453094
