Cancer genetics Our body consists of billions of cells. As new cells continuously are produced, some other are dying. This homeostatic balance is crucial for maintaining healthy tissues in any living organism. Different cells have different purposes, red blood cells for example transport oxygen around our body, while neural cells can send signals to and from our brain to ensure movement, and skin

In this bachelor’s thesis we analyse the discourses that can have affected the formation of the laws concerning prostitution and the purchasing of sex in Sweden and Denmark. We ask ourselves what different aspects have played a role in why the two countries’ laws are phrased the way they are. To do this, we base our analysis on theoretical frameworks such as poststructuralism, sexuality, and the h

Taking as its epistemological starting point the proposed geological era of the Anthropocene, this thesis enquires the affective potential of avant-garde fashion in criticising, improving or transforming the supposed givenness of The Human as a historical concept. In order to do so, it inflects and departs from the tightly held onto-epistemological cannon of fashion studies and anthropology of dre

Birds living in temperate regions face an energetically demanding period in winter, when food availability becomes reduced and unpredictable. In order to conserve energy, wintering passerines reduce their metabolic rate (MR) and body temperature (Tb) during the night to enter into a state of hypothermia. The effect of food predictability on the energy budget of birds is not fully understood. There

Title: The employee’s journey to a new organisational culture: How employees experience the acculturation process post-acquisition Authors: Anne Verrips and Lisette Marlous Schoonewelle Supervisor: Tony Huzzard School of Economics and Management/ Lund University, Sweden Date: May 24, 2019 Aim: This thesis aims to develop a deeper understanding of how employees acculturate post-acquisition, it

How do low carbon transitions in developing economies differ from decarbonization of developed economies? Which specific challenges face developing economies? This thesis discusses the literature on low carbon technology transfers, climate finance and carbon lock-in in developing economies and applies these concepts to the Indian case. The carbon intensity of energy supply is analyzed using the en

During migration birds are exposed to several challenges, one of these are the potential threat of getting oxidative stressed. Oxidative stress can be defined as when free radicals are produced in a vastly amount so antioxidants cannot detoxify them. This is the case at higher metabolic rate such as migratory flight, and probably during hyperphagia at stop-over. The aim of this paper was to invest

Matsvinnet ökar globalt, även i Sverige. Åtgärder för att förhindra detta diskuteras både hos FN och i den svenska regeringen och mål har därför satts upp för att minska detta. Nu finns det dessutom företag som går in med affärsidén att minska på matsvinnet genom att ta tillvara på råvaror som på grund av exempelvis fel storlek eller missformning sorterats bort och därmed egentligen skulle blivit Food waste is becoming a bigger problem globally, but even in Sweden. Actions to prevent this are being discussed both by UN but also in the Swedish government and goals for the future has because of that been set. Many new companies have started their business with the idea to take care of the food waste by using the raw material that because of the size or shape has been sorted out. These raw ma

Whole mitochondrial genome sequences have the potential to clarify avian haemosporidian phylogenies and evolution. In this study, we sequenced mitochondrial genomes from isolates of 26 genetic lineages of avian haemosporidian parasites of the genus Haemoproteus (subgenus Parahaemoproteus) with a nested long-range PCR protocol and next-generation sequencing. We identified more mixed infections than

In many attitude theories, it is commonly assumed that what we believe in is partly based on our own past actions, and that these actions shape our present opinion towards an issue. This suggests that how one remembers and represents past deci-sions could have an instigating role in establishing future at-titudes. However, the way attitudes change over time has gen-erally been explained by either

Hydrogen is a very alluring source of energy and new sources of hydrogen production via sustainable and clean sources is of high priority. Dark fermentation has the potential to be this new sustainable clean source of hydrogen but requires profound optimization. Caldicellulosiruptor is a genus of thermophilic bacteria that is capable of producing hydrogen near the stoichiometric limits of 4 mol /

This paper presents an analysis of two different policy-induced shocks to the Swedish housing market. An abolishment of the interest deduction and a reintroduced property tax. The paper closely follows the methodology presented by Bergman and Sørensen (2016). This is a model that can be used to analyze the behavior of the estimated fundamental house prices and is suitable for various policy simula

In practice, Virtual Commissioning is a technical method within the au- tomation field where you can create a simulated twin factory to a real physical factory containing functional machines. The purpose of Virtual Commissioning is to move a great portion of the commissioning tasks to an earlier state in the project. To make this possible a simulation model of a system is created within a simulati
