Aim: The objective of the present work was to enable the use of starch hydrolysate, generated by the action of a recombinant maltooligosaccharide forming amylase from Bacillus halodurans LBK 34, as the carbon source for the production of poly-beta- hydroxybutyrate ( PHB) by Halomonas boliviensis LC1. Methods and Results: In this work, different amounts of the alpha- amylase ( Amy 34) were utilized

In a learning situation, feedback is of great importance in order to help a student to correct a possible misconception. However, previous research shows that many students tend to avoid feedback regarding failures, including critical constructive feedback (CCF) that is intended to support and guide them. This is especially true for lower-achieving students, who might perceive feedback as an ego-t

Debates around “Loss and Damage” (L&D) from anthropogenic climate change have expanded rapidly since the adoption of the Warsaw International Mechanism (WIM) in 2013. Despite the urgent need for scientific best practice to inform policies to avoid, minimize and address L&D, the nascent research field faces internal disagreements and lacks a coherent conceptual framing, which hinder scienti

Following a radiological or nuclear emergency event, there is a need for quick and reliable dose estimations of potentially exposed people. In situations where dosimeters are not readily available, the dose estimations must be carried out using alternative methods. In the present study, the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) properties of tooth enamel and different dental repair materials hav

We develop fixed-point algorithms for the approximation of structured matrices with rank penalties. In particular we use these fixed-point algorithms for making approximations by sums of exponentials, i.e., frequency estimation. For the basic formulation of the fixed-point algorithm we show that it converges to the solution of a related minimization problem, namely the one obtained by replacing th

Background: The loss of carbon (C) from agricultural soils has been, in part, attributed to tillage, a common practice providing a number of benefits to farmers. The promotion of less intensive tillage practices and no tillage (NT) (the absence of mechanical soil disturbance) aims to mitigate negative impacts on soil quality and to preserve soil organic carbon (SOC). Several reviews and meta-analy

The competition for water between an aqueous lipid phase (L2) and gelatinizing starch was investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry and light microscopy, were used to study the gelatinization behaviour of cassava and potato starch in the thermodynamically stable water containing (i.e. 13% w/w water) oil-continuous L2-phase. This was compared to the gelatinization of the two starches in limit

Conventional wastewater treatment plants are designed for treating manmade wastewater (e.g., from households and industries) and to protect the environment (e.g., receiving water bodies) and humans from adverse effects.The objective of this work was to investigate the feasibility of treating municipal wastewater without a biological treatment step by applying different separation processes, such a

Framtidens generation av solceller innehåller nanotrådar, men vilka risker kan materialet utgöra på återvinningsanläggningar? De mycket små semikonduktiva nanotrådar effektiviserar framtidens solceller och det är möjligt att nästa generations solceller kommer bli en vanlig syn i samhället. Men, aktuell forskning pekar på att nanotrådarna har farliga egenskaper för människors hälsa och miljö. Det The rise of solar cells have been received with open arms as a renewable energy resource in Sweden. The new generation of solar cells containing semi conductive type III-V nanowires may pose, without proper safety measures, negative implications on health and the environment. In this study an overview of possible risks is considered in the waste management with solar cells containing nanowires. Al

Sammanfattning Uppsatsen behandlar det adopterade barnets rätt till kännedom om sitt ursprung. Frågan har diskuterats vid flertalet tillfällen och är nu aktuell på nytt, då den uppmärksammas i utredningen SOU 2009:61 – Modernare adoptionsregler. I utredningen föreslås en lagstadgad informationsskyldighet för adoptivföräldrar att informera barnet om dess ursprung. Denna bestämmelse skall sakna sankSummary This Graduate Thesis examines the adopted child´s right to knowledge of his or her origin. The biological parentage has been a subject of discussion throughout the history of adoption. In accordance with SOU 2009:61, the Committee has proposed a provision to be introduced requiring a person who has an adopted child, to inform the child of his or her biological origin. The provision is not

Denna uppsats fokuserar på ett av dagens största hot mot idrotten, dess integritet och dess trovärdighet, nämligen matchfixning. Matchfixning innefattas i begreppet idrottsrelaterat fusk där bland annat doping också tillhör. Vid matchfixning är det centrala syftet att eliminera oförutsägbarheten vad gäller tävlingens utfall och påverka resultatet i den önskade riktningen. Det intressanta vad gällThis thesis focuses on one of todays biggest threat to sports, its integrity and its credibility, namely match fixing. Match fixing is a concept that is contained within sports related cheating where for example doping as well contains. The main purpose when someone is participating in match fixing is to eliminate the unpredictability of the game and its’ result and to bend the outcome as wished.

The actors in focus here are the citizens and the politicians. We are studying their opinions on two central issues of health-care policy during the period 1981-1991. The aims of the dissertation can be summarised as follows: - to study the compositions of citizens´attitudes to health-care provision and policy - to examine the value of using different methodical approaches when studying health-car

Background: Little is known about women's perceptions of their daily life before and after a myocardial infarction (MI), especially with regard to stress, which is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). Aim: To describe and explore women's perceptions of stress before and after an MI. Method: Two interviews with women who suffered an MI, the first at the hospital (n = 20) and the second 4

Abstract. Effects of enhanced UV-B (representing a 15% ozone depletion) on cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation were measured at a high arctic site (Adventdalen, 79°N, Svalbard) and a subarctic site (Abisko, 68°N, Sweden). Nitrogen fixation potential (acetylene reduction) by cyanobacteria associated with the moss Sanionia uncinata in vegetation exposed to experimentally enhanced levels of UV-B for 3 a

OBJECTIVE-Many genetic variants have been associated with glucose homeostasis and type 2 diabetes in genome-wide association studies. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is important for beta-cell function and glucose homeostasis. We tested the hypothesis that zinc intake could influence the glucose-raising effect of specific variants. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-We conducted a 14-cohort meta-

Since the end of the 1990s, the number of fires increases dramatically in the city of Malmö. Between 1998 and 2009, the increase was 215 percent. A growing number of the fires are intentional and take place outdoors. Most of the fires are also concentrated in a limited number of neighborhoods. Furthermore, many schools are affected. Between 2000 and 2011, nearly 360 intentional fires occurred in s
