Trait perfectionism has been linked with repetitive negative cognitions, which have been shown to influence psychological distress. This study examined if experiencing evaluation threat in the form of a demanding scholarship status will have any impact on the relationships between these factors. Sixty-seven (67.2% female) university students filled out self-report questionnaires on perfectionism,

Implication of DNAJ co-chaperones in Neurodegenerative diseases General improvements of human life conditions at different levels translate into an increasingly growing life span expectancy of the earth population. This, however comes with the cost of an increase in neurodegenerative diseases which broadly increases in frequency with age. Most age related brain diseases such as Parkinson’s dis

Lysande protein ska hjälpa spåra ändringar vid alzheimers sjukdom Demens är ett syndrom som påverkar en stor del av populationen vid högre ålder. Syndromet yttrar sig genom att påverka personers kognitiva förmågor, huvudsakligen minnet. Frekvensen kommer fortsätta att öka med den åldrande populationen. Den vanligaste och mest välkända varianten av demens är alzheimers sjukdom. Som alla vet är deApolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is the biggest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. While it is known to transport cholesterol to neurons the localization of the protein has not yet fully been mapped. Levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its cleavage product amyloid beta (Aβ), the main component of amyloid plaques, in transfected cells were determined using western blot. Green fluoresce

Biobased economy is becoming a central strategy to decouple industrial production from fossil feedstock and thus to tackle global warming. Consequently there has been an interest in developing technologies for the production of chemicals, materials, and fuels from renewable bio-based feedstock. This can be achieved thanks to industrial biotechnology and metabolic engineering. Protocatechuic acid (

Magnesium chelatase is a heterotrimeric enzyme complex, which catalyzes the insertion of Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX. The enzyme is composed of three protein subunits BchI, BchD and BchH of approximately 40, 70 and 140 kDa, respectively. In barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) the subunits are referred to as Xantha-H, Xantha-G and Xantha-F. In this study, genes encoding the magnesium chelatase subunits of

The aim of this thesis is to further explore the relationship between the establishment of public transport and gentrification processes. There have been various studies showing the importance of public transport as a contributing factor in providing access to work and other important institutions in urban areas. However, recent studies have also shown that the establishment of public transport in

Vårdboenden behöver hjälp med att utveckla sin verksamhet för att bli motståndskraftiga mot värmeböljor. Sommaren 2018 var en av de varmaste somrarna SHMI har uppmätt, vilket bland annat fick konsekvenser för äldre. Folkhälsomyndigheten konstaterade att omkring 700 personer dog på grund av hälsoproblem till följd av värmen. Den riskgrupp som anses var en av de som drabbas värst vid höga temperatuIn Sweden, a phenomenon that is becoming more problematic is heatwaves. The summer of 2018 was one of the warmest summers recorded and the need for adaptive measures against the negative effects has never been more urgent. One municipality that are looking for how to handle this is Helsingborg’s municipality. The study focus on how nursing homes in Helsingborg experienced and handled the effects

In the face of the climate crisis, there is an increasing engagement with climate adaptation and mitigation across traditional development sectors. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is one such area. From an intersectional feminist perspective engaging questions of gender, race, disability and sexuality, this research examines international SRHR advocacy materials. The aim is to unc

Operahus runt om i Sverige är i brist på kompetenta repetitörer. Utförandet av ett klaverutdrag kräver utökad kunskap än bara tekniska färdigheter. Därför undersöker jag i denna uppsats inlärningsprocessen till en djupare förståelse till pianoreduktionen av en opera. Min metod har varit att studera bakgrund och kontext till operans framkomst, analysera librettot, textens roll i musiken och det Operas in Sweden are in short supply of competent répétiteurs. The execution of a vocal score requires additional knowledge than just technical skills. For that reason, I decided to investigate in the process of acquiring a deeper understanding to the piano reduction of an opera. The method I have been using are: studying background and context in the creation of an opera, analyse the libretto, t

För att utvärdera en relativt ny typ av filterbottensystem som finns installerat i ett flertal vattenverk i Sverige så gjordes en bedömning av samspelet mellan ett snabbfilters prestanda och dess filterbottensystem. Målet var att bedöma filterbottensystemets påverkan på kvaliteten av det filtrerade vattnet och på energikonsumtionen under backspolningsprocessen och att använda denna information förThe interplay between the performance of a rapid gravity filter and its underdrain system was to be assessed in order to evaluate the performance of an unconventional underdrain system that is installed in a number of water treatment plants in Sweden. The aim was to assess the influence of the underdrain system on the filtered water quality and the energy efficiency of the backwash process of the

This thesis captures the effect of social capital measured as social and institutional trust on a reduction of absolute poverty. The indicators of social capital are captured through the construction of a database of subjective well-being measures. Poverty is indicated using the Watt’s index which measures the mean proportionate poverty gap for those living under the extreme poverty line of $1.90

The aim of this thesis is to present some new results on a growth process which was studied in a previous paper (Shcherbakov and Volkov, 2010). The growth process is based on a model from queuing theory, and it is a discrete-time Markov chain. We assume that we have a line of infinitely many particles arriving in our model. Where the particles are arriving sequentially to M sites with predetermine

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to, from a critical feminist perspective, illustrate and create understanding for how companies use feminism to broadcast commercial messages. Methodology: The study was conducted in the form of a case study. The analysis was made by doing a qualitative content analysis of images and text in order to illustrate the material’s underlying meaning. Theoretical

This thesis uses data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey to assess to test for differences in life satisfaction between rural and urban inhabitants. Individual level data including various demographic and socio-economic variables is used to test for the relationship. Results suggest that life satisfaction in urban Indonesian areas is higher than that in rural regions. Furthermore, satisfaction

En renare miljö eller påminnelse att fimpar också är skräp minskar mängden fimpar som slängs på marken. Nedskräpning är ett stort och allvarligt problem både på ett miljömässigt och på ett samhällsmässigt plan. Plast är enligt genomförda skräpmätningar den överlägset vanligaste skräpkategorin i våra parker, städer och på våra stränder. Cigarettfimpen toppar listan inom kategorin – runt 1 miljard Various research and initiatives are being done to decrease the amount of litter in our environment. The most common type of litter found in our parks, cities and on our beaches is plastic, where cigarette butts are one of the most common subcategories. To be able to take effective measures against such a hazardous problem as this, one must look to the source of it – in this case human littering b

In Sweden women with an immigrant background are through different policies frequently secluded to care labour. Consequently, a big part of women migrating to Sweden work as an assisting nurse in eldercare. The aim of this study is therefore to further develop an understanding of these women’s agency in Sweden, by discovering how agency exists in relation to work, family and spare time. Therefore,

Over the past two decades, Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) have become an increasingly popular source for mid-infrared and terahertz radiation. Nowadays, their experimental development progresses fast with the aid of computer simulations. These reproduce carrier dynamics in the gain medium of the laser based on different transport models. A fast and reliable simulation package for QCLs is key for th
