The influence of external nitrogen (N) on carbon (C) allocation and processes related to phosphorus (P) metabolism were studied in monoxenic arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) cultures of Daucus carota. Fungal hyphae of Glomus intraradices proliferated from colonized roots growing on solid medium into C-free liquid minimal medium with two different N and P levels. Furthermore, we exposed the colonized roo

BackgroundSocial function is a key aspect of health‐related quality of life after solid organ transplantation (SOT). The focus of this study was to report how solid organ‐transplanted patients change their social function after transplantation.AimTo investigate the main concerns associated with social function after SOT and how solid organ transplant recipients (SOTRs) deal with these concerns.Met

Is personnel resistance in deed as dysfunctional as it is assumed to be, in M&A theory? According to Hirschman (1970), voice is more loyal than exit, implying that employees telling their opinion should be understood as a sign of loyalty, rather than a problem. An important aspect of loyalty is its moral basis. Scanning M&A literature, it becomes evident that very little has been written o

A number of policy instruments are used in order to provide consumers healthy products produced in a proper way as regards environmental impacts. The policy instruments are mainly directed to enterprises and companies producing products. Such actors are often addressed in terms of laws or regulations and represent different actors in a production chain. Policy instruments and the way they are used

Handheld computing and mobile information systems are continuously breaking new ground, with an increased importance for business. However, there is evidence that we still have lessons to learn concerning the design of handheld information systems. Handheld information system poses challenges to the designer in the unique properties of handheld technologies and the conditions of use of handheld te

Coordinated Multi Point (CoMP) transmission and reception techniques are used in order to improve the performance of single or multiple cells in wireless systems. A system using CoMP techniques is capable of jointly optimizing its transmission and/or reception and, hence, achieving higher performance. In this work, performance evaluation of three CoMP techniques are performed based on simulations

Architectural education is most of the time based on architectural tasks with little connection to real circumstances of a building process. The projects focuses on design and the result of the projects is abstractions of the reality, such as drawings, diagrams and models. Architecture through practice aims to explore parts of the architectural practice which we usually don’t have to think about i

This paper will investigate the conflicts that can arise during destination development following a World Heritage inscription. Previous literature mentions that conflicts arise, but focuses on a more managerial perspective, and fails to account for the characteristics of those conflicts. The aim of the paper is to account for the characteristics of the conflicts that arise, by trying to grasp how

Studiens syfte var att studera chefers uppfattningar och erfarenheter av funktionen rehabkoordinator och nyttan av den utbildning som rehabkoordinatorn har genomgått. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med tio chefer inom sjukvården. Datamaterialet analyserades med tematisk analys utifrån en induktiv ansats. Fyra teman urskildes: Räddaren i nöden, Funktionen som blev en person, Förändring tar tThe aim of the study was to investigate how health care service managers perceive and experience the newly introduced function rehabilitation coordinator and the effect of the education programme. A semi-structured interview guide was used to interview ten managers. The material was analysed with an inductive approach using thematic analysis. The following four themes were identified during analys

De svenska tillverkarna av ultralätta mikroflygplan, Blackwing Sweden AB, har lämnat en förfrågan gällande uppdatering av den justerbara mekanismen tillhörande roderpedal-systemet i flygplansmodellen BW600RG. Det nuvarande manuella systemet anses bristfälligt sett till den icke ergonomiska justeringsprocessen som för övrigt kräver att flygplanet är stationärt. Målet med detta projekt var att framfThe Swedish ultralight aircraft manufacturer, Blackwing Sweden AB, has requested a reinvention of their adjustable mechanism for the rudder pedal system in the BW600RG aircraft. The current manual system is insufficient in terms of a non-ergonomic adjustment process which requires for the aircraft to be stationary. The ambition of this project was to deliver a concept covering a fully automated ad

Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka hur svensklärare går till väga vid en bedömning av en elevtext, resultatet av den bedömningen, och hur de arbetar med bedömning löpande under ett läsår för att säkra en likvärdig och rättssäker betygsättning. För att ta reda på detta ombads åtta aktiva svensklärare bedöma en elevtext i kursen Svenska 1. Lärarna blev intervjuade efter avslutad bedömning, där The aim of this study was to examine how Swedish teachers assess an individual student paper, the result of that assessment, and how they work with assessment in general during the school year in order to secure equivalent and reliable grading. To accomplish the aim for the study, eight Swedish teachers in upper secondary school were asked to grade a student paper written for the course Svenska 1.

Proteinupprening är ett viktigt och grundläggande steg för att kunna använda proteiner som läkemedel. Att utveckla en effektiv uppreningsprocess är viktigt utifrån såväl ett tidsperspektiv; som kostnads- och miljöperspektiv och målet med processen är att få ut så mycket rent protein som möjligt, utan att proteinets aktivitet reduceras. I det här projektet har en uppreningsprocess för proteas-X utvThe epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor involved in cell proliferation. It is frequently overregulated in cancer cells, making it an attractive target for cancer therapeutics. One possible pharmaceutical is protease-X; a protein involved in the cleavage of the EGFR and thus, a way to regulate the receptor’s activity and lead the cancer cells to apoptosis. The aim of this thesis h

By combining a legal doctrinal study and an empirical interview study, this thesis examines the implementation of the right to access to justice under article 13 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for persons who due to post-traumatic stress syndrome have difficulties accounting for their stories in asylum proceedings. The starting point is that persons with PTSD likely w

Pappers- och pappersmassaindustrin har ökat markant under de senaste årtiondena. På grund av att samhället har blivit mer miljömedvetet har återvinning av papper blivit en allt viktigare del inom industrin. Återvunna pappersfiber är dock av lägre kvalité än nygjorda fibrer. Syftet med denna rapport är att analysera möjligheterna att använda ett enzym av typen lackas för att modifiera interaktionenThe pulp and paper industry have been a growing market during the last decades. Due to higher environmental concerns among people, the recycling of papers has become an even more important part of the industry. Recycled paper fibers however are of lower quality than virgin fibers. This report aims to analyze the possibility to use a laccase enzyme to modify the interaction between lignin and recyc

This study aims to investigate and model statistical properties of Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. There were recent drastic changes in the level of Bitcoin prices as it moved from $740 in 2014 to $19,187 in 2017, and down to $3,830 in 2018. The current study aims to fill the gap in the analysis of cryptoccurencies, primarily Bitcoin returns statistical process. Specifically, the study s

Processes with long dead times are among the most difficult to control. This has urged the development of controllers that cope with this kind of delays. A possible approach is to use a model predictive controller, i.e. a controller with an internal model of the process and its dead time. In ABB’s new control system, Control IT, there exists such a controller, namely the PPI controller. PPI stands
