Sockermolekyler, eller mer korrekt kolhydrater, spelar en mycket större roll för livet än att enbart förse våra celler med energi. Ytan av våra mänskliga celler är nämligen försedda med långa kedjor av diverse kolhydrater. Dessa makromolekyler har era viktiga funktioner för cellerna. De ger bland annat stöd i, och smörjer våra leder. De är även involverade i cellers kommunikation med varandra i deThe enzyme dermatan sulfate epimerase 1 is one of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate. The expression of dermatan sulfate has been linked to several severe pathological conditions including breast, lung, and oesophagus cancer. The change in expression alters i.e., the tumorigenesis, cell viability, and adhesion. By altering the activity of dermatan su

As the reforms to the Kafala system in Qatar in recent years are witnessing substantial achievements, the international communities expressed their appreciations to Qatar on what was happening in favor of the labor rights. However, the public discourse towards the reforms as well as the migrant workers in recent years remains understudied. This paper aims at studying this point by investigating th

Ever since the murder of the Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in February 1986, many different theories about who the killer could be have been created and discussed. One of the more intensely discussed theories is the “police-conspiracy theory”. In this thesis I investigate how this theory became a kind of public knowledge in the years after the assassination. Using a theoretical framework base

As online shopping increases every year, so does the package material that takes from natural resources and ends up as garbage. To be able to save our planet we have to switch to a circular economy, where waste and pollution is designed away. The sector of clothing, shoes and accessories is the most bought online within the EU. These packages are commonly made of soft plastic or biodegradabl

"Hunnao"(婚闹) emerged in China during the pre-Qin period (221 B.C.) and has evolved ever since as a distinctive Chinese wedding tradition. It is a form of wedding entertainment retained by Chinese folk since ancient times. Patriarchy has happened over many centuries, which has a great influence on the "hunnao". The main goal of this paper is a theory of Chinese patriarchy to ana

Nya verktyg i kampen mot rotbrand i sockerbeta I Sverige äter vi runt 40 kg socker per person varje år. Socker är en viktig energikälla som även får vår mat att smaka godare, men det är även ett viktigt konserveringsmedel. Idag framställs socker, även kallat sackaros, från två olika växter nämligen sockerrör och sockerbetor. Inte allra minst i Sverige är sockerbetan en viktig gröda och socker ettAphanomyces rot root is an important disease in sugar beet, leading to significant harvest losses and a decrease in sugar content in affected fields. The disease is caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces cochlioides and affects the roots as either an early or late infection. To control the disease, it is crucial to incorporate resistance into cultivars. However, the genetic background to resistance is

I denna studie studeras svenska konsumenters användande av omnikanaler, samt vad som uppmuntrar situationella respektive avsiktliga beteenden i form av showrooming och webrooming. Konsumenters beteenden vid köp av olika produktkategorier är även ett centralt forskningsområde för uppsatsen. Det empiriska materialet för studien har samlats in genom tolv kvalitativa djupintervjuer med både män och kv

Optisk DNA-kartläggning – en metod tillämpad cancerdiagnostik? Akut lymfatisk leukemi (ALL) och akut myeloisk leukemi (AML) är sjukdomar som i hög grad är orsakade av så kallade strukturella variationer i gener. Dessa typer av leukemi är bland de vanligaste cancertyperna som drabbar barn. Det är därför av stort intresse att kunna detektera dessa förändringar för att kunna erbjuda en så bra behandPediatric leukemias are one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in children. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of leukemia in children, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most reoccurring type of leukemia in pediatric diagnosis. It has previously been found that structural variations are an important underlying mechanism leading to these diseases. Fluo

MicroProteins are small, separately expressed parts of a larger protein and able to interfere with the full-length protein’s function. To enable modulation of hormone perception, microProteins were designed from the ethylene, cytokinin and gibberellin receptors. The protein isoforms designed to function as microProteins were overexpressed in Arabidopsis. Overexpression of a shortened gibberellin r

Val som görs tidigt i en designprocess kan vara avgörande. De dikterar många av de begränsningar och friheter som konstruktörer har i senare skeden av processen. Informerade beslut är därmed viktiga i detta skede. Med den ökande beräkningskraften hos moderna datorer använder fler och fler konstruktörer CFD-programvara för att utforma och utvärdera prestanda hos turbopumpar. Simuleringarna gör det Choices made in the early stages of a design process are crucial. They dictate many of the limitations and freedoms the designer has in later stages of the design. Informed decisions are therefore crucial at this stage. With the increasing computational power of modern computers, more and more designers utilise CFD software to design and evaluate performance of turbopumps. The simulations allow th

Development of a novel gene therapy against cancer Despite tremendous efforts and achieved advances, cancer is still the leading cause of death worldwide, which underlines the need to develop novel curative approaches. In the past decade, we witnessed the rapid development of immunotherapy – novel treatment strategies based on harnessing the patient´s very own immune system to fight cancer. Altho

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur det fysiska och det digitala flödet för sterilhantering av instrument kombineras på ett sjukhus. Detta för att kunna utläsa hur dessa två flöden stödjer varandra mot riskförebyggande för att tillgodose behoven för ett framgångsrikt tjänstemöte.

Under de senaste åren och i samband med pandemin har det skett en ökad motreaktion till urbaniseringen. Teknologins framsteg har gjort att fler kan arbeta på distans och man prioriterar sitt boende och livskvalité på ett nytt sätt. Allt fler väljer att flytta utanför städerna för att bo billigare, större och nära naturen. Ruralismen ställer högre krav på infrastrukturer och kollektivtrafiken och

Within a not-too-distant future, Sweden is believed to face a surge in demand for electricity. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the economic aspects of small modular reactors (SMR), as one possible solution for Sweden’s coming energy needs. SMR are a new form of nuclear reactors, modularly constructed in a factory and small enough to be shipped to the site where they are to be installed. H

The rapid evolution of modern chipsets and sensors has led to most modern smartphones are capable of providing an Augmented Reality (AR ) experience. Recent advancements in web development have made it possible to leverage the mobile device’s AR capabilities and deliver immersive content directly in the browser. The web-based immersive content may constitute a future platform for instructions and

The goal was to perform a feasibility study on an additive manufactured thermoplastic nose-cone hull design for an autonomous underwater vehicle SAM. Where feasibility includes the technical, economic and sustainable aspect in the analysis. The additive manufacturing process enables customization, modularity, design freedom, structure optimization, cost efficient low volume and tool less manufactu

In July 2013 Croatia has become the latest member state to join the European Union. Access to this single European area, in particular, to economically well-developed countries with a more robust labor market and a higher standard of living than Croatia resulted in intensification of emigration from Croatia. This has particularly affected young, well-educated Croats; ambitious, unsatisfied with th

Implant loosening is a recurring problem in the field of orthopedics, typically resulting in a physical and financial burden for the patient. Proper integration of orthopedic implants within host bones is a fundamental requirement for the successful function and limited risk of failure of implants which, in-vivo, must support various loading conditions. This implant fixation is highly dependent on
