Bioactive peptide research has experienced considerable therapeutic interest owing to varied physiological functions, efficacy in excretion, and tolerability of peptides. Colostrum is a rich natural source of bioactive peptides with many properties elucidated such as anti-thrombotic, anti-hypertensive, opioid, immunomodulatory, etc. In this study, a variant peptide derived from β-lactoglobulin fro

Numerous mafic dykes, sills and intrusions with ages between 1985 Ma and 1960 Ma are exposed near the Onega Lake in southern Karelia, Russia. The paleomagnetic analysis of these rocks has revealed a stable remanence with directions belonging to two groups. The directions of the first group characterize ten intrusions including the dated 1970 ± 3 Ma Unoi sill and 1976 ± 9 Ma Suna River Canyon doler

More than three decades ago, Thomas Alerstam initiated the study of orientation and navigation of migratory songbirds in southern Sweden. Stensoffa Ecological Field Station, located approx. 20 km east of Lund, has since been a primary location for orientation experiments. However, it has often been difficult to record well-oriented behaviour in the seasonal appropriate migratory directions, in par

When we refer to the countryside, we associate it with the city. In the path of urbanization, the countryside developed in the direction of eventually becoming a city. In 2017, China began to implement the rural revitalization policy to avoid the erasure of the characteristics of the Chinese countryside. The rural revitalization policy involves many aspects, such as politics, economy, and culture,

Under miljonprogrammet byggdes en stor andel av de lägenheter som bebos idag. Många av de här byggnaderna är nu över 50 år gamla och behöver renoveras. Sverige har även som mål att vara klimatneutrala 2045. För att klara våra energi och miljömål måste de även tilläggs isoleras och energieffektiviseras. Problemet är att en stor del av de här byggnaderna är hyresrätter med stor andel låginkomsttagarA large portion of the Swedish apartments that are lived in today were built under the million program. Many of these buildings are now over 50 years old and need renovation. Sweden also aims to be climate-neutral by 2045. In order to meet our energy and environmental goals, the buildings must also be made more energy efficient. The problem is that a large part of these buildings are rental proper

This study examines the symbolic boundaries and boundary work (Lamont, 2000) that trans women experience in relation to the cis women in their lives with whom they share a close or meaningful relationship. Centering trans women’s voices and experiences, I analyze the ways in which boundary work is used to maintain or challenge symbolic boundaries between trans women and cis women, and how those bo

Hemmet är en ständigt föränderlig plats, som kontinuerligt formas och omformas. Det utgör kulissen för livet och bör kunna anpassas efter de boendes behov och önskemål. Under min uppväxt i det hus mina föräldrar köpte för tre årtionden sedan har jag fått bevittna dess otaliga förändringar och förvandlingar genom åren, anpassade till vår växande familj och föränderliga behov. Men idag står huset tThe home is ever-changing, continuously being shaped and reshaped. It serves as the backdrop for life and should be capable of adapting to the needs and preferences of its residents. Growing up in a house my parents purchased three decades ago, I’ve witnessed its numerous transformations and changes over the years, adapting to our expanding family and evolving needs. Today, however, the house sta

I takt med klimatförändringarna förväntas mer extrema nederbörd komma oftare och med en högre intensitet. De system som ska ta hand om allt regnvatten är inte dimensionerade för sådana skyfall, vilket kommer leda till att de svämmar över. Dessa förändrade förutsättningar gör att planeringen och byggandet för urbana miljöer blir viktigare än någonsin. Vattenhanteringsstrategier i landskapet och ruIn line with climate change, more extreme precipitation is expected to occur more often and with a higher intensity than before, historically. The systems that are supposed to take care of all the rainwater are not designed for such torrential rains, which will lead to flooding. These changed conditions make the planning and construction of urban environments more important than ever. There are m

Kan laser upptäcka komplikationer efter kirurgi? Varje år genomgår hundratals patienter esofagektomi – en omfattande canceroperation där delar av matstrupen tas bort och återkopplas till mag-tarmkanalen. Men för många slutar operationen med allvarliga komplikationer. Vad kan vi göra för att förhindra detta? Att överleva en stor operation är bara början. För patienter som genomgått en esofagektomi

Galektiner är små proteiner som finns i vår kropp och de förekommer antingen intracellulärt och i cytoplasman eller extracellulärt. De binder till kolhydrater på cellytan med hög affinitet, speciellt de som innehåller galaktos och det avgör dess viktiga roll i de olika fysiologiska processerna i kroppen. De är involverade i modulering av cellulära processer såsom programmerad celldöd när cellen ärGalectins are glycan-binding proteins that can reprogram the function of many cell types. They are involved in different positive and negative physiological functions in the human body including inflammation and autophagy. Thus, they have been suggested as therapeutic targets for tumour progression and they have been proposed as biomarkers for diagnosis. Galectins bind to the carbohydrates on the

This thesis explores the way donor ideologies influence the structure and allocation of foreign aid for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in the Arab States region. Drawing on postcolonial theory and the humanitarian–development nexus, it investigates how socio-political shifts within traditional donor countries, specifically rising conservatism, affect both the overall size of the

I november 2020 föll en meteorit ner utanför Uppsala och strax efter att den hittats blev det tvist om äganderätten till den. Ägaren till fastigheten meteori- ten landade på stämde upphittarna och hävdade att han hade bättre rätt till den. I tingsrätten föll domen till upphittarnas fördel efter att meteoriten hade klassificerats som lös egendom. I hovrätten blev det dock tvärtom då meteo- riten an

This thesis combines labour regime analysis with Marx’s distinctive class of modern landed property in a case-study situated at the small-scale gold mine La Mina Vincente. It examines how the Colombian state's efforts to formalize artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) intersect with the presence of illegal armed groups, shaping the labour regime of La Mina Vincente. The study makes use of qua

Energy efficiency in buildings can be understood elaborately by evaluating its operational and embodied energy. Embodied energy is the sum of all the energy that is used to produce materials in a building construction. This study assesses various building parameters e.g. U-value of the materials, Window to Floor Area Ratio (WFR), location, etc. that affect the operational and embodied energy and u

This thesis investigates how audiences express participatory diplomacy in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, focusing on Israel’s participation amid the Israel-Hamas war. Using a single-case study design, the analysis applies mixed methods drawing on observations of quantitative data such as voting results and betting odds, alongside a qualitative reflexive thematic analysis of online fan discussio
