Sustainably produced renewable biomass has the potential to replace fossil-based feedstocks, for generation of biobased fuels and chemicals of industrial interest, in biorefineries. In this context, seaweeds contain a large fraction of carbohydrates that are a promising source for enzymatic and/or microbial biorefinery conversions. The thermoanaerobe Thermoanaerobacterium AK17 is a versatile ferme
We present and compare the existing methods of heteroepitaxy of III-Vs on silicon and their trends. We focus on the epitaxial lateral overgrowth (ELOG) method as a means of achieving good quality III-Vs on silicon. Initially conducted primarily by near-equilibrium epitaxial methods such as liquid phase epitaxy and hydride vapour phase epitaxy, nowadays ELOG is being carried out even by non-equilib
One of the main issues in context of the severe economical changes on the local media market and the measures the media companies are forced to take is how to maintain high quality of news journalism in the local press. There are concerns that the quality of news will decline and content will be commercialized as McManus (1994) describes it as a market-driven journalism when profit becomes the leaThe local media organisations in Sweden have the last years been involved in initiating new model of business (Melesko 2013). They have mainly been based on economical actions, as cut-downs of editorial staff, integration of different pressrooms and expanded co-operation between papers within same media organisations (Nygren 2013). For instance, editorials and cover of culture news has on several
The idea of a Nordic community, even though it was a reality in the past and is still a quite tangible idea in the present – because all Nordic countries have striking similarities – is often obscured by the more recent idea that the nation always comes first, and for quite some time now the Nordic countries have been anxious to set themselves apart from their closest neighbour in particular.In th
AbstractBackground: Around one fourth of patients with colorectal cancer present themselves with distant metastases at the time of diagnosis, and one additional one fifth of the patients will develop distant metastases during the disease, most commonly in the liver. Surgical treatment such as liver resection or ablation, often combined with chemotherapy and targeted therapy, is the only treatment BackgroundAround one fourth of patients with colorectal cancer present themselves with distant metastases at the time of diagnosis, and one additional one fifth of the patients will develop distant metastases during the disease, most commonly in the liver.Surgical treatment such as liver resection or ablation, often combined with chemotherapy and targeted therapy, is the only treatment option with
I vår kropp finns en myriad av proteiner och celler med viktiga funktioner och de flesta av dem är täckta av kolhydrater. Galektiner är en familj proteiner som har en ficka där olika kolhydrater kan binda in. Genom att kolhydrater på celler eller andra proteiner binder in till denna ficka kan galektiner påverka cellulära funktioner. Vid cancer och inflammation har överproduktion av vissa galektineGalectins are a class of β-galactoside-binding proteins that bind glycoconjugates and have been implicated in cancer, regulation of immunity and inflammation. Design and synthesis have achieved highly potent and selective galectin ligands that can inhibit interactions with glycoproteins and have consequent cellular effects. These ligands can be used as tools to further elucidate the roles of galec
The excavation of a low-temperature kiln structure at an affluent Iron Age regional center, Uppåkra, located in southern Sweden, revealed from archeobotanical samples and its context evidence of malting in the process to make beer. Carbonized germinated hulled barley grain (Hordeum vulgare) was recovered from the kiln structure itself and from the surrounding occupationalsurface.

In the early stages of the building design process, during the programming and the proposal stages, both user activities and the building are in focus for the designer. In spite of this, today’s CAD programs give no support for management of information about user activities in the building. This paper discusses the requirements on modelling us
Grand challenges such as climate change put focus away from innovations and innovation policy as engines of economic growth towards fulfilling societal goals and sighting sustainable development. The literature on the geography of innovation has provided valuable insights on innovation activities of firms and industries and how they are positively influenced by co-location. In particular, short ge
Alla djur uppfattar världen med sina sinnen, vilka ger information till beslut och rörelser. Tyvärr har sinnena begränsningar och när de upphör att ge pålitlig information kommer djurets överlevnad att hotas. Synsinnet till exempel utmanas dagligen, eftersom dess signalstyrka minskar när mörkret faller och ökar igen när solen går upp. I denna avhandling undersökte jag synsystemets anpassningar hosAll animals perceive the world through their senses, which form the basis for their decisions and motor actions. However, when these all-important senses reach their limit and cease to provide reliable information, the animal’s survival is threatened. Among the senses, vision is brought to its limits on a daily basis, because its signal strength is diminished as night falls, and increases again as
A way to determine the depth of an embedded fluorescent object, for example deep-lying tumors marked with a fluorescent probe, is to detect fluorescent light that has propagated through the medium at two different wavelength bands. A ratio can then be calculated between the corresponding intensities. The wavelength regions should be chosen such that there is a difference in the absorption in the m
Slutsatser„ Det finns två skolbaserade program som möjligen kan förebygga suicid- försök. Dessa är dock inte testade på ett vetenskapligt sätt i Sverige.Båda de program som har visat effekt är universella, dvs riktas till alla elever i klasserna.– Good Behavior Game (GBG) ges på lågstadiet under ett till två år. GBG är inte utvecklat för att förebygga självskada utan syftar till att förstärka posi
Fängelse på livstid tillämpas som påföljd för flera brott enligt svensk lag. Majoriteten av de livstidsdömda har begått brottet mord, som regleras i 3 kap. 1 § brottsbalken. Under de senaste åren har denna paragraf ändrats två gånger, och ytterligare en ändring har nu föreslagits, i syfte att skärpa straffen och öka tillämpningen av livstids fängelse som påföljd för mord. Syftet med uppsatsen ärLife imprisonment is used as a penalty for several crimes in Swedish law. The majority of those sentenced to life imprisonment have committed murder. This crime is regulated in chapter 3, paragraph 1 in the Swedish Penal Code. In recent years, the legislators have expressed a will to change this paragraph. Two changes have been made so far, and another amendment has been proposed, in order to incr
Sammanfattning: Många verksamheter använder karttjänster för att lösa problem och underlätta beslutsfattande. Allt fler upptäcker fördelarna med detta och integrerar karttjänster i verksamhetssystem. Dessa tjänster utvecklas från grundläggande karttjänster som kan ha betydande skillnader mellan sig vilket gör valet av tjänst till en viktig fråga. Eftersom karttjänsterna är olika och uppbyggda av eSummary: Many organizations use map services in their daily work to solve problems and enhance decision making processes. The number of organizations who enjoy the benefits of map services and integrate them into their system is increasing. To choose a certain map service is an important decision since the differences between them can be significant. The service is dependent on many minor componen
Already long before the shift to a tax financing of public service, discussions regarding the future prospects of the business were conducted, in the light of the technological developments in the area. In a legislative proposal in 2005 regarding changes in the former radio and TV law, arguments were put forward that public service should be financed through taxes, in order to guarantee long-term
Konflikten i den Syriska Arabiska Republiken började för mer än tio år sedan och ingen lösning är i sikte. Konflikten anses vara den mest dokumenterade konflikten någonsin. Trots att konflikten har pågått under en lång tid saknas det straffrättsligt ansvar för de begångna brotten. Det har gjorts försök, att genom användandet av international straffrätt hänvisa konflikten till den Internationella BThe conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic is ongoing since more than ten years, and there is no end in sight. The conflict is deemed to be the most documented conflict of all time. Despite the longevity of the conflict, there has been a lack of criminal accountability for the crimes committed. The international community has through the use of international criminal law attempted to refer the confl
Personer som innehar statlig anställning är på ett sätt som vilka arbetstagare som helst. PÅ ett annat sätt så är dem representanter för staten och deras ageranden påverkar allmänhetens uppfattning och tilltro till staten och dess myndigheter.

In another way, they are representatives of the state and their actions affect the public's perception and trust in the state and its authorities. Therefore, during periods, this group of workers in particular has been separated from other workers and stricter rules have applied in the event of errors committed in the
