Divergence in coding sequence of different functional categories of immune genes between species of the order Rodentia

How mice avoid diseases, a measure of divergence The response we have to diseases vary from person to person. In much the same way diseases affect and are battled in many different ways depending on the species. This happens due to differences in their immune system. So, what causes these differences? Well, they are mostly caused by differences in the DNA, the molecule which has the code for ever

The living in a place for the dead - an exploration of place as assemblage

Från oskyldighetspresumtionen till bortom rimligt tvivel - Ett straffrättsfilosofiskt perspektiv

Det är en obehaglig realitet att i Sverige döms oskyldiga personer för brott de inte har begått. Statistiskt sett händer det sannolikt mycket sällan men över en tillräcklig lång tidsrymd är det oundvikligt. Detta trots den lagstadgade oskyldighetspresumtionen som ger den som är misstänkt för ett brott rättigheten att betraktas som oskyldig till dess att motsatsen har bevisats. Högsta domstolen hIt is an uncomfortable reality that in Sweden innocent individuals are sentenced for crimes they have not committed. Statistically, it happens most likely very seldom but, given a sufficient length of time, it is unavoidable. The Swedish Supreme Court has in NJA 1980 p. 725 expressed the evidentiary requirements for convictions in criminal cases. The guilt of the accused must be beyond reasonable

Uppföljning av röstfunktion hos barn med tidigt konstaterad unilateral recurrenspares: En pilotstudie

Syfte: Syftet med vår studie var att kvalitetssäkra omhändertagandet av barn med tidigt konstaterad unilateral recurrenspares. Vi ville undersöka deras röstfunktion vid uppföljning 5-10 år efter konstaterad diagnos, för att på så vis avgöra om uppföljningen borde se annorlunda ut. Vi vill bidra till information till vårdnadshavare vars barn drabbas av recurrenspares. Metod: I studien ingick tolv dPurpose: The aim of our study was to ensure the quality of care for children with early-diagnosed unilateral vocal cord paralysis. We wanted to examine vocal function at follow-up 5-10 years after a diagnosis had been made, in order to determine whether the follow-up should be implemented differently. We want to contribute to information for parents whose children suffer from vocal cord paralysis.

Jokkmokk: The Arctic future - Climate transitions and Urban design Challenges in Winter Cities

Polar nights, extreme cold, and snow are part of the identity of Arctic cities; these elements together set a particular demand for urban designers to find solutions to make the city more livable and attractive during the long dark days in the winter and still thrive on being enjoyable during the long bright days in the short summers. However, Arctic cities are threatened continuously by shrinking

Transactions between branch and head office and the right to deduct input VAT in cross-border scenarios

Financial institutions and VAT are often like oil and water. If a financial institution is considering centralizing an activity in a certain jurisdiction, non-recoverable VAT could pose a serious problem. In addition to that, ambiguous judgments of the European Court of Justice have contributed to this issue. As of now, even services carried out within the same legal entity may trigger non-recov

Development of a controller to switch between relative and absolute path for target vehicles in simulation scenarios

Simulating vehicle scenarios for autonomous cars saves both time and money compared to physical testing. For this to work efficiently a sophisticated simulation software is often needed. Esmini is an open-source, lightweight vehicle simulator that can handle advanced traffic scenarios. When designing scenarios to be used for testing autonomous vehicles, it is often beneficial to set up relative ve

Energy-efficient HVAC solution-sets for low-energy apartment buildings in Nordic climates - An analysis of an affordable housing project

To meet the aims of the Paris climate agreement, it is necessary to reduce energy use in buildings. Efficient HVAC systems are a critical part in achieving a low delivered energy use. However, there is a lack of comparative information of the best HVAC systems for apartment buildings, which represent an increasing share of newly built floor area in the Nordic countries. Elements of HVAC systems we

Quantum ring with tangential dipoles

This Bachelor thesis studies the formation of quantum droplets in a dilute dipolar Bose Einstein Condensate with the initial shape of a torus. The main question to address is how this formation occurs as the magnetic dipole moment of the particles changes orientation with respect to the xy plane. The (mostly) attractive dipolar, and the repulsive contact and Lee-Huang-Yang interactions of the ga

The Disappearing Package

As online shopping increases every year, so does the package material that takes from natural resources and ends up as garbage.
