Increased understanding of membrane proteins is important for characterization of biochemical processes. Improved membrane protein isolation methods is a key issue for effective functional and structural determination of the large amount of unknown membrane proteins. In this thesis, a novel approach towards selective membrane protein purification is introduced. Polymer induced micelle extraction
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen har ambitionen att på empirisk grund öka vår förståelse av lässvårigheter bland skolbarn. En allmän uppfattning bland läsforskare är att svaga läsare har svårigheter med snabb, säker och automatisk ordavkodning. Avhandlingen inkluderar ett antal studier som jämför svaga och goda läsare med avseende på olika aspekter av visuell ordavkodning. Drygt 100 svaga The primary ambition of this doctoral thesis is to provide an empirical basis for a better understanding of reading disability among school children. The current consensus in the research community is that most disabled readers fail in the acquisition of fast, accurate and automatic word recognition. The thesis includes a number of studies where normal and disabled readers are compared on various
Light-matter interactions can be used to probe both light and matter as they yield information on a system's state. On the ultrafast timescale, it is possible to employ these interactions to probe fast-occurring phenomena. In particular, one of the few tools for ultrafast spectroscopy are coherent attosecond XUV pulses: light pulses in the extreme ultraviolet range (XUV) whose typical duration
Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur rättstillämpningen på S:t Barthélemy fungerade i förhållande till rättstillämpningen i Sverige. Genom en rättshistorisk metod och ett komparativt perspektiv undersöks skillnaderna och likheterna mellan de två rättssystemen. Frågan besvaras genom att närmare undersöka följande tre områden: domstolens sammansättning, lagstiftningen och rättskipningen. DomstolensThe thesis aims to investigate how the adjudication in St. Barthélemy functioned in relation to the adjudication in Sweden. The differences and similarities between the two legal systems are examined through a legal historical method and a comparative perspective. The question is answered by examining the following three areas: the composition of the court, the legislation, and the administration
Stratagems adopted by democratic leaders to try to insinuate, or anchor, a preferred course of action into the larger collective will have a variety of repercussions. Beyond the apparent success of the venture itself, the long-term integrity of the democratic fabric may be at stake if simmering rancour and discontent is left unheeded. These questions would seem particularly pertinent when studyi
Uppsatsen redogör för vilka sakrättsliga regleringar som blir verksamma och kan skydda en förvärvare eller panthavare mot överlåtaren och pantsättarens borgenärer när aktier i kupongbolag överlåts eller pantsätts men för vilka aktiebrev inte utgivits. Transaktioner med aktier i onoterade aktiebolag, vilka i de flesta fall utgörs av kupongbolag, blir allt vanligare och desto mer säll-synt är förekoThe paper describes the rules of property law that become effective and can protect an acquirer and pledgee against the transferor or pledger's creditors when shares in coupon companies are transferred or pledged but for which share certificates have not been issued. Transactions in shares of Swedish unlisted limited liability companies, which in most cases are coupon compa-nies, are becoming
Denna uppsats behandlar ingående hur officialprincipen tillämpas i de svenska migrationsdomstolarna. Uppsatsen tar, efter en kort introduktion till migrations- processen i Sverige, avstamp i en förvaltningsprocessuell diskussion kring vad som omfattas av en förvaltningsdomstols utredningsskyldighet. Olika faktorer som påverkar utredningsskyldigheten tas upp. Därefter övergår uppsatsens fokus till This essay discusses in detail how the ex officio inquiry principle (“officialprincipen”) is applied in the Swedish migration courts. After a brief introduction to the Swedish migration process, a general discussion concerning what is covered by an administrative court’s obligation to investigate is performed. Various factors that affect this obligation are discussed. Focus then shifts towards how
Likt RB präglas LSF av normer som fördelar ansvaret mellan skiljenämnden och parterna. En fundamental princip inom civilprocessrätten är dispositionsprincipen, vilken främst kommer till uttryck genom 17 kap. 3 § RB. Av paragrafens andra mening framgår att domstolen i dispositiva tvistemål inte får grunda sitt avgörande på en omständighet som inte åberopats av rätt part. Regeln har preciserats i räAs with the SCJP, the SAA is characterized by norms that allocate responsibility between the arbitral tribunal and the parties. A fundamental principle of civil procedure law is the principle of party disposition, primarily expressed in Chapter 17, Section 3 of the SCJP. The second sentence of this section provides that a court may not, in disputes amenable to settlement, base its judgment on a ci
In Sweden there are many laws that apply to government archives. Amongst them are the Public Access and Secrecy Act (offentlighets- och sekretesslagen) which regulates which records are bound by secrecy and which are rendered public. The Public Access and Secrecy Act frequently makes implicit references to a protection of integrity, particularly in its treaties on extradition. To investigate what
Sammanfattning I Sverige råder fri bevisprövning med fri bevisvärdering. Det innebär att inga formella regler uppställs för hur ett bevis ska värderas eller vilka metoder som ska tillämpas av domstolen vid bevisvärderingen. Således är det teoretiskt möjligt att vid en ord mot ord situation finna det ställt utom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalade gjort som åklagaren gör gällande. Trots detta är det Summary In Sweden there is a free sifting of evidence with a free evaluation of evidence. This means that no formal rules are imposed on how evidence should be valued or the methods to be applied by the court at the evaluation of evidence. It is theoretically possible to find it beyond reasonable doubt that the accused made as the prosecutor alleges in a situation where one word stands against ano
This thesis consists of four self-contained papers in applied microeconomics. The first paper asks how a neighbors purchase of a specific good affects a households likelihood of purchase. I use an image classification algorithm to process a large set of aerial photos in order to infer household ownership of a visible durable good, specifically a trampoline. To estimate the neighborhood effect, I u
This dissertation examines Swedish welfare workers’ attitudes towards migrants and migration, their perceptions of welfare work with migrants and organisational working conditions. The dissertation is based on original survey data capturing attitudes and views of welfare workers in two Swedish welfare organisations. The thesis’ conceptual framework draws on three perspectives: street-level burea
This dissertation examines the public interventions, rhetoric, and actions of liberal intellectuals in Turkey between the early 1990sand 2012 regarding the rights of Kurdish and Islamic actors and restrictions on discussing the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Theanalysis of diverse texts published by the interconnected intellectuals – newspaper columns, academic articles, policy papers,reports, and man
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a life-threatening condition with mortality rates between 30-50%. Although in vitro models replicate some aspects of ARDS, small and large animal models remain the primary research tools due to the multifactorial nature of the disease. When using these animal models, histology serves as the gold standard method to confirm lung injury and exclude other
Efficient and clean production of electrical and mechanical energy for use in industry, transportation and propulsion is currently a concern. The transition from fossil fuels to biofuels involves challenges related to the fuel composition and combustion, as well as methods to increase engine fuel flexibility. One potentially useful tool under development is Plasma Assisted Combustion (PAC), where
Background: One of the most serious secondary manifestations of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is coronary atherosclerosis. This study aimed to evaluate whether aged garlic extract (AGE) can influence coronary artery calcification (CAC) and to predict the individual effect of AGE using a standard process for data mining (CRISP-DM). Method: This was a single-center parallel randomized controlled stud
The minimization of the total variation is a well-established technique of preservingedges and discontinuities. Therefore it has wide applicability in image processing,where one is interested in recovering a corrupted image while preserving edges inthe image. In the last decades, in the literature, there have been introduced manydifferent approaches and algorithms for minimizing the total variatio
In older adults, age-related degenerative processes and disorders often degrade some sensory systems more than others, which can make postural control disproportionally dependent on one kind of sensory information. The study aims were to investigate 1) the postural stability when healthy older adults were repeatedly exposed to a video in an immersive virtual reality (VR) environment, and 2) the re
In Mozambique, despite considerable investments in the promotion of drinking water supplies, the access to quality water of sufficient quantity for the majority of people is still far from optimal. Current official figures report that nearly half of the country´s population and about 45 per cent of urban residents do not have access to safe water. As a result of poor performance or absence of publ
Nowadays, is becoming increasingly frequent holding events in outdoor environments, involving a large number of people, even though these spaces were not designed from a safe prospective, in the way that safety is defined today. In such events, high density conditions is an ongoing issue, as the evacuation becomes very complex, due to the space design and the interaction among the pedestrians. It
