Background: Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum is the causative agent of botulism, a severe neuroparalytic illness. Given the severity of botulism, surprisingly little is known of the population structure, biology, phylogeny or evolution of C. botulinum. The recent determination of the genome sequence of C. botulinum has allowed comparative genomic indexing using a DNA microarray. Results: Whole ge

The fastest rising group of entrepreneurs is represented by females, yet entrepreneurship is still considered a male-dominated industry. Female entrepreneurs have to deal with gender-stereotypical challenges, due to the overrepresentation of men in entrepreneurship. Contemporarily, the concept of female entrepreneurship is understudied and scarce, specifically the entrepreneurial identity. This t
Dynamically predicted shelf-life label (DPSL) has been discussed to be one of the solutions to curb meat waste. Therefore, the research about the DPSL label and the perceptible information obtained by minced meat consumers is conducted. The research purpose is to identify the critical factors to design a DPSL label for minced meat consumers, and to design and assess the label with the consumers. T
År 2019 skedde en revidering av 12 kap. JB, även kallad hyreslagen. Genom lagändringen infördes nya regler för att råda bot på ett antal problem på hyresbostadsmarknaden. Ett av de problem som lagändringen syftat till att åtgärda var oskäliga hyror på andrahandshyresmarknaden, och en ny referensram för vad som utgör en skälig andrahandshyra infördes. Bestämmelsen har formen av en takregel, och staIn 2019 there was a revision of the rental legislation in Chapter 12 of the Swedish Land Code. The amendment introduced new rules to solve several problems in the rental housing market. One of the main problems addressed were unreasonable rent levels in the sublease market, and a new rule was introduced to solve this problem. The rule is a reference framework for what constitutes a legal, acceptab
Popular science summary Ortho Group SEARCH A gene is a unit of heredity of a living species. Genes are transferred from one generation to the next by vertical descent. Two genes are homologous if derived from a common ancestral gene. Homologous genes related by duplication event within the genome are paralogous genes.

Historiskt sett har människor byggt sina hus med de material som den omgivande naturen gav. Både vass och lera är två sådana material som förekommer naturligt. Det som bl.a. skiljer dessa material åt är de processer som krävs för att de ska kunna användas som taktäckningsmaterial. Vassen skördas och torkas medan leran bearbetas och bränns för att slutligen bli en användbar produkt. I tidigare svenHistorically, people built their houses with the materials that the surrounding nature gave. Reeds and clay are two such materials occurring naturally. A difference between these materials is the processes required for them to be used as roofing material. Reed is harvested and then dried while the clay is processed and fired to finally become the useful product. In earlier Swedish history roofs we
Ett viktigt syfte inom EU är ökad konkurrens på den Europeiska marknaden och för att målet ska uppnås föreslog den Europeiska Kommissionen ett Direktiv som reglerar uppköpserbjudanden vilket skulle bidra till förenklade förvärv av företag på den gemensamma marknaden. Företagsförvärv innebär huvudsakligen att ett företag köper aktier av ett annat företag vilket även ibland kan leda till övertagandeOne of the main purposes in EU is increased competiveness on the European market and to achieve the goal; the European Commission made a proposal of a Directive on Takeover Bids which would facilitate the takeover activity in EU.
