Det naturliga immunförsvarets attack mot liposomer Liposomer är små konstgjorda vesiklar som är uppbyggda av samma byggstenar som biologiska cellmembran. Liposomer kan användas för att transportera olika typer av molekyler i kroppen, exempelvis läkemedel. De kan även användas inom forskning som en modell över ett enkelt cellmembran för att ge en uppfattning om hur mer komplexa biologiska system Liposomes are closed spherical bilayered membrane structures in aqueous solutions, with an internal aqueous compartment entrapped by either a single or multiple concentric lipid bilayer(s). They can be used as a tool in research to mimic simple cell membranes, to study e.g. lipid-protein interactions, as well as they are extensively used as carriers of various molecules, especially for tumor targe

Today, technology is everywhere in our everyday lives whether it is wanted or not. The world has become digitalized and this development continues for each year that passes. The Swedish government has now (2018) updated the curricula for both kindergarten and elementary school to include more digital aspects in the teaching. With this background, this thesis (project) set out to design a digital a

High data rate is still the most crucial factor in cellular systems, and with 5g approaching new techniques are studied to achieve higher bit rates. Using MIMO technology, the spatial domain was exploited through beamforming and multiplexing multiple users’ data together assured more spectrum efficiency which resulted in higher bit rates. Reciprocity based beamforming is feasible in TDD systems du

Methodology: In order to investigate the purpose of the essay the authors conducted a stakeholder analysis. To achieve this semi structured qualitative inter

In order to enable an effective and efficient adoption of radical innovations in networks, science-based organizations should be aware of the challenges and resistance they may face within their network relationships, resulting from the interconnected structure of high-tech networks as well as the uncertain nature of their radical innovations. By analyzing how nuances of relationship quality influ

This master's thesis aims to investigate how libraries can continue the work for LGBTQ-inclusion after they have acquired a certification from the RFSL, including how the certification affects librarians and the library, and if that work accommodates what young people from the LGBTQ(AI)-community wants and needs from the library. The material is guided from both qualitative interviews with fiv

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

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

Title: Green is the new normal: An exploratory study of how slow fashion companies encourage normalization of sustainability initiatives in the retail store Date of seminar: June 5th 2019 Course name: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Jennifer Phan & Xinyi Yao Supervisor: Andrea Lucarelli Key words: social normalization, social and personal norms, communication strategies

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the antecedents of brand transparency and test their impact on the customers’ perception of transparency within the apparel industry. More specifically, the study has two objectives firstly, to identify the antecedents of consumers’ perception of brand transparency, and secondly, to empirically test the identified antecedents and their im

Transactions where goods are successively supplied by several businesses and transported directly from the first supplier to the last customer are defined as chain transactions. There is currently no provision in the VAT Directive which generally defines and determines the VAT treatment of chain transactions. The concept of chain transactions has been implemented by the CJEU through its case law (

This thesis research analyses the role of local and regional governance in fostering the circular economy, using Uusimaa and Päijät-Häme – both being regions in Finland – as study cases. The main inquiry is to understand the role along the seven causal factors that were identified as relevant for this study, which are captured by the notions of i) interpretation and congruence of the circular econ

This paper takes a closer look at civil society-state and global relations in the hybrid regime of Kenya, through Critical Discourse Analysis developed by Norman Fairclough. The paper looks closer at diverse sets of text produced by various actors such as the Kenyan state, Global institutions and local civil society actors. The analysis concludes that the hybrid regime of Kenya has consolidated po

Despite of the ambitious aim of the ATAD, the adverse effect of double taxation caused by the implementation of it is unsolved. It is therefore up to taxpayers to solve the conflict of norms by identifying the correct source of law for eliminating double taxation. The thesis focuses on the double taxation caused by the implementation of ATAD and identifying the correct source of law, if possible,

Since April 2017, legislation fining people in ‘encampments’ in public spaces was enacted in Copenhagen. This regulation was tightened by July 2018 be-coming an effective ban, where the subject of the fine was expelled from the administrative limits of the municipality. The measure comes as an ineffective way to deal with homelessness as it does not address the conditions that lead to it, working

The European Union has committed to the ambitious target of increasing renewable energy sources by 27% in the energy consumption of member states by 2030. Biomass is considered as one of the most promising renewable energy resources to meet these goals. Currently, energy from biomass contributes up to two-thirds of the 28 member states primary combined renewable energy production. In Hungary, the

Several governments recently adopted strategies to facilitate the development of artificial intelligence (AI), one of the reasons being the pursuit of sustainability – a claim with little scientific grounding so far. In this thesis, I strived to outline the scope of AI’s potentials by showing i) the limits of its theoretical and practical usefulness and ii) the political barriers to using it for s
