Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic entities that have the ability to move around the genome and regulate nearby genes. Therefore, they constitute a potential threat (and sometimes an evolutionary advantage) for the host's genome. Among other regulatory activities, DNA methylation and KRAB-ZNF are responsible for TE silencing. The dysregulation of these silencing mechanisms have been studi
Thesis purpose: The combined research on the effects of logo redesign on heritage brands is underdeveloped. Therefore, we contribute with insights to this nascent subject and provide inspiration for others to continue. Methodology: This thesis uses quantitative methods with a mixed experimental design to test the impact of different logo versions on Brand Attitudes and Perceived Brand Authenticity
The impact of the UK’s decision to leave the EU has received a lot of attention in scientific research in recent years. The effect of Brexit on many different variables and factors related to financial markets and general economy has been studied extensively. Corporate credit risk is, however, an area which did not receive as much attention. This study therefore focuses on the quantification of th

The foreign exchange (FX) market is today the world’s broadest, most active, financial market. One of many technical analysis techniques amongst professional FX traders, trying to narrow down the best entry and exit points in this market, is to utilize pivot points. The ability of this technique has, as far as we know, never been rigorously evaluated. In collaboration with the Malmö-based hedge fu
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis, is to relate the areas of crime theory and supply chain to the transport- and construction industry, by exploring factors that influence the occurrence of theft as well as factors that influence the police reporting tendency in the same industry. The thesis intends to support decision making in the transport- and construction industry. Design/methodology/approa
Alunskiffer är en svart lersten av kambrisk-tidig ordovicisk ålder som har en vid utbredning i Sverige och angränsande områden. Bergarten är rik på organiskt kol från ofullständig nedbrytning av marina mikroskopiska organismer som inlagrades i sedimentet på syrefria havsbottnar. Miljön gjorde det även gynnsamt för en del spårmetaller att deponeras, bland annat Uran, Nickel, Molybden och Vanadin. VExploitation of alum shale is a controversial subject in Sweden due to the history of pollution of the environment and groundwater, from past mining industries. The extraction of vanadium from alum shale is no different. Nevertheless the metal is a valuable resource used in tools, building, industries and aerospace materials. A look to the future reveals that vanadium may play a role in renewable
Idag kopplas allt fler enheter upp på Internet, vilket effektiviserar såväl enhetshantering som kommunikation mellan enheter. I hemmiljöer kan användare styra enheter genom att förse dem med beskrivande namn, som till exempel "högtalare vardagsrum". Så länge antalet enheter är begränsat är en sådan lösning ofta tillräcklig. I ett fall med ett stort antal enheter måste användaren dock hålToday, an increasing amount of physical devices are obtaining Internet connectivity for more efficient management and device communication. In home environments, users may manage devices by providing them descriptive names such as "living room speaker". For a limited set of devices such a solution is often sufficient. However, in a case where one wants to individually manage a very high
A lovely village, which located a little bit far from the city, but still has a convenient and good connection to the city center. There are no high-rises, and the form of life returns to the previously slow pace life which is full of human kindness. Canals appear everywhere and form a drainage system which can help purify the water before it goes into Dianchi Lake. It is a self-sufficient life mo
Discriminatory behavior on the basis of sexual orientation challenges the economic problem, as it causes inequal access to the job and housing markets. In this study, I measure and analyze discriminatory behavior against same sex couples through a field experiment in the Portuguese housing rental market. This is the first attempt at conducting a correspondence field experiment testing for discrimi
I investigate how the intensity of the oil industry affects the synchronicity of large capitalized oil and gas companies in the western world. I find that despite of the high level of information available to investors of large capitalized oil and gas companies stocks of oil and gas companies move synchronous with the market when it falls, but not synchronous when it rises. I suggest also that pas
This bachelor’s project of industrial design has explored issues related to the implementation of technology in agriculture. Its relevence lies in urgent future challenges of producing more food with less resources. The aim of the project has been to look at a section within agricultural technology (more commonly known as Ag-Tech) and the experiences of selected farmers in the south of Sw

Bakgrund På en intensivvårdsavdelning vårdas de mest kritiskt sjuka. Patienterna kan vara både medicinska och kirurgiska, och kan tillhöra olika åldersgrupper. Gemensamt är att de utsätts för stora påfrestningar både fysiskt och psykiskt vilket kan orsaka påfrestande minnen för denna patientgrupp Syfte Syftet var att beskriva eventuella skillnader på vuxna (över 18år) patienters påfrestande minnen
The emerging green bond market is a novel research area with only a few studies being published in recent years. The increase in interest from issuers, investors, and academia shows the clear need for further investigation of the pricing dynamics affecting the green bond market. This study finds its theoretical foundation in the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), aiming to establish whether inves
