BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Preeclampsia is a major obstetric problem of unknown etiology. The fact that removal of the placenta is the only cure for preeclampsia, has led to the well-established hypothesis, that the placenta is central in the etiology. Gene profiling and proteomics studies have suggested oxidative stress caused by reperfusion and free oxygen radicals as a potential pathophysiological

Down-core sediment pigment concentrations from four Northern European estuaries were measured using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to investigate phytoplankton community structure and preservation conditions over the last ca. 100 years where all sites have experienced different levels of eutrophication. Phytoplankton pigments have been shown to be useful biomarkers for phytoplankton

Background: Symptoms associated with primary headaches are linked to cranial vascular activity and to the central nervous system (CNS). Review: The central projections of sensory nerves from three cranial vessels are described in order to further understand pain mechanisms involved in primary headaches. Tracers that label small and large calibre primary afferent fibres revealed similar distributio

PURPOSE: Urinary proteomics has become a key discipline within clinical proteomics for noninvasive diagnosis and monitoring of disease, and biomarker discovery. In order to decipher complex proteomes, high demands will, however, be placed upon the methodology applied. The purpose of this study was to develop a recombinant antibody microarray platform for urinary proteomics. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: W

Soil is a dynamic system in which microorganisms perform important tasks in organic matter transformations and nutrient cycles. Recently, some studies have started to focus on soil metaproteomics as a tool for understanding the function and the role of members of the microbial community. The aim of our work was to provide a review of soil proteomics by looking at the methodologies used in order to

Researchers who desire to bring about change in organizational settings require approaches to inquiry which can go beyond superficial appearances and prejudice. In seeking to go beyond mere examination of socio technical systems researchers have developed a proliferation of different approaches. Many of these have drawn upon social and human sciences to ground methods and assumptions in philosophi

Studien syftar till att kartlägga entreprenörers anbudsprioritering och ge offentliga beställare kunskap om marknaden för att kunna anpassa sina förfrågningsunderlag. Studien har genomförts som en kvalitativ studie innehållande litteraturstudie, dokumentstudie och intervjustudie. Tre administrativa föreskrifter, AF-delar, har analyserats i dokumentstudien.

The study was conducted as a qualitative study including a literature review, document study, and an interview study. Contractual tender documents were analyzed in the document study. In the interview study, both contractors and public procu

The study of heterogeneous catalysis has important implications in increasing the efficiency of industrial processes and in reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases from sources such as automobiles. A reaction with high industrial relevance is the oxidation of CO on noble metal catalysts. In this work I apply Fourier Transformations to Ambient Pressure X-ray and Ultraviolet Photoelectron Spectr

The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the compatibility of the current dominant approach in international taxation for intragroup transactions, based on arm’s length principle, with international agreements on development. In this sense, the thesis aims to explore the viability of formulary apportionment as an alternative that could reduce contradictions between international tax law and devel

The international business literature predominantly explains internationalization through the lens of developed countries and well-established firms, offering limited insights into how emerging market startups expand globally. To address this gap, this study investigates the internationalization processes of technology startups from Kazakhstan. Employing a qualitative research design, semi-structu

I detta arbete har en Minimum viable product (MVP) för en applikation utvecklats, som gör det säkrare att avveckla och ta bort endpoints för ett REST API. Tidigare arbete har visat att hanteringen av avvecklingen av endpoints i REST API:er är ett problem, där REST API:er inte följer protokoll för avveckling och borttagning. Applikationen är gjord för att tillhandahålla ett enkelt sätt att övervakaIn this thesis - a Minimum viable product (MVP) for an application aimed at making deprecation and removal of REST API endpoints safer - was developed. Previous work has shown that handling deprecations and removal of endpoints in REST APIs is a problem, with REST APIs not following deprecation-removal protocols nor giving the API consumers the information needed to properly update their software.

Inconel 718 is a widely used Nickel-based alloy in the aerospace sector. However, its exceptional mechanical properties make it a very difficult material for machining operations. Additive manufacturing presents itself as a promising alternative, as it would reduce the need for post-printing material removal by machining. However, not enough research has been done about the behaviour of this mater

The purpose of this Bachelor thesis is to investigate and explain an ongoing process on the Swedish book- and publishing-market as a result of the new alternative ways of publishing. The investigation concerns questions about what need the electronic publishing fills for the authors compared to traditional publishing, and what happens to the writer’s role when published digitally on self-publishin

Teachers’ experiences of school leadership behaviour and the social contexts in which these have taken place interest me. I aim to identify and understand what Swedish secondary school language teachers’ reflections are on what they require in terms of leadership from their principals in different contexts in order to gain personal job satisfaction. The objective is that this research can then fun

Participation of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) has been greatly promoted by the European Union (EU) and many CSOs in social policy sphere in particular have increasingly gained their participatory venues and consultative status vis-a-vis EU institutions since the 90’s. However, their expected role to bring even the most marginalised groups’ voice into European policy making process poses a qu

This thesis addresses the complexities of the situation of the Roma in Romania and Spain and the challenges of including isolated groups in society. The main texts used for comparison come from the Council of Europe’s expert bodies: the European Commission Against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI), the Advisory Committee (ACFC) under the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities (
