Popular science summary: Untangling the mystery of Ogfod2 protein Human body consists of tens of thousands of proteins. Some of them have been studied in depth and their functions are well known. Others, however, have not been studied at all and nobody can tell if the protein has some very important function or not. One of these unstudied proteins is the human Ogfod2 protein. Human Ogfod2 prote

Background: A majority of sexually active adolescents in Sweden use contraception during sex, however STIs such as chlamydia has been seen to increase among 15-19 year olds. The overall aim of this study was to look into a wide set of factors that influence sexual risk-taking within individual, family and extrafamilial factors. A special focus was put on the influence of family factors on unprotec

The number and popularity of graduate trainee programmes has recently increased rapidly in Sweden, while few studies have been conducted on the participants, leading to an incomplete understanding of what implications the programmes have for trainees. We analysed the sense-making of trainees based on a qualitative research design from an interpretative tradition. Data was gathered through 15 semi-

Several studies show difficulties that companies have in pursuit of annual growth. The same studies show that companies that succeed are those that focus on innovation and continuous product development. Atlas Copco is one of Sweden’s largest companies and the brand stands for sustainable product development. This examination project has been executed for one its daughter companies, Atlas Copco Co

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to develop two simulation models of Arrivas train network in Denmark to facilitate the process of timetabling. One of the models assumes deterministic times in the other model these times are stochastic. The purpose of the deterministic model is to evaluate if timetables are free from conflicts, a process that currently involves a lot of manual labor. The mai

Children who are victims of sexual abuse is a phenomenon observed by the society. Research proves that children who are sexually abused, the consequences can be more far re- aching than adults who are exposed of sexual abuse. In 2005, a new legislation of sexual abuse act in force that aimed to increase the protection of children and adolescents who are sexually assaulted. The proposal of the new

Evaluation of the Galil DMC–4080 as a closed-loop controller of a stepper-motor driven Stewart Platform with mm- and mrad- precision and resolution. The project involves a full implementation and optimization of kinematic equations, implementing modes of motion & controller structure, as well the use of MATLAB simulations. The 4080 proves successful in static positioning but have limitations i

The aim of this research is to explore how equalization of health is envisioned in a Chinese new policy regarding the equalization of basic health care for Chinese migrant workers in order to understand its material effects on the targeted population in terms of citizenship rights and modes of governing. The purpose is furthermore to see whether migrant workers share the health needs and values pr

In a mammography examination, an x-ray image is taken of the patient’s breast. The examination can be painful due to the fact that the breast has to be properly compressed to attain good image quality. To reduce discomfort for the patient it has been suggested to measure pressure distribution over the entire breast. This thesis investigates design and manufacturing of a radiolucent pressure senso

Abstract There is adaptive radiation of endemic finches on the islands of Tristan da Cunha. On each of two of the islands a small-billed and a large-billed subspecies have evolved independently. In this study we analysed the transcriptome of the finch Nesospiza acunhae of Inaccessible Island with the use of RNA-seq reads. The rapid improvement in nextgeneration sequencing technologies as well as

This report focuses the use of egress models to study the airport evacuation with special focus on security doors in case of total evacuation in airport terminal buildings. Case studies are made in arrival hall and departure hall of the airport terminal based on the scenarios identified in a preliminary risk analysis carried out in the terminal. Evacuation strategies are employed in the two differ

Akut hjärtsjukdom, som bland annat innefattar hjärtinfarkt och vissa typer av kärlkramp, utgör idag en ledande orsak till lidande och död i världen. På svenska akutmottagningar söker varje år cirka 180 000 patienter för bröstsmärta, vilket kan vara ett symtom på någon av ovanstående sjukdomar. För att snabbt komma fram till rätt diagnos ska ansvarig läkare väga samman patientens sjukdomshistoria, Introduction: There is a need for risk stratification of emergency department (ED) chest pain patients. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events risk score (GRACE RS) predicts adverse events in patients with confirmed acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and has been validated on unselected ED patients with chest pain. Clinical gestalt is the unstructured overall clinical assessment, based on the ph
