Maintenance of stem cell pluripotency and the differentiation of stem cells into specialised cells has been studied extensively. More recently, the possibility for a specialised cell to be transferred into a state of induced pluripotency has been demonstrated and investigated. Critical components of the gene regulatory networks governing these processes have been identified, but a complete model h
På senare tid har regeringen genomfört kriminalpolitiska reformer i syfte att bekämpa den grova och organiserade brottsligheten. Flera av lagförslagen har kritiserats av bland annat utredningsväsendet vars syfte är att säkerställa rättsväsendets kvalité och kvalitetssäkra nya lagförslag. Syftet med uppsatsen är att ge läsaren en fördjupad förståelse för utredningsväsendets funktion och undersöka Recently, the Swedish Government has prepared and implemented criminal policy reforms aimed at combating serious and organized crime. Several of the legislative proposals have been criticized by the investigative system, whose purpose is to ensure the quality of the judicial system and quality assurance of new legislative proposals. The purpose of the essay is to give the reader a deeper understa
Image registration of X-ray images is used to correctly align the patient before the cancer tumour is treated with sets of high dose X-ray radiation. Before the first treatment, a simulated X-ray image is taken showing the best possible localisation of the tumour. From then on, after each of the radiation treatments of the tumour, a low dose of the X-ray theurapeutic radiation is used to take an i
Sandvik Coromant is the market leader of producing tools for advanced metal cutting. The tools are produced in cemented carbide, however Sandvik Coromant does not produce tools for machining cemented carbide. The aim of the thesis was to perform cutting tests in cemented carbide with diamond tools to investigate if the binder content affected the machinability of the process. The wear tests were
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda ifall föräldraskapsregleringen vid insemination utanför den svenska vården omfattas av diskrimineringsförbuden i regeringsformen (RF) respektive Europeiska Konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (EKMR). I dagsläget gäller olika föräldraskapsregleringar för hetero- och homosexuella par när en insemination skett utanförThe purpose of the essay is to examine whether the Swedish regulation of parenthood through insemination outside of Swedish care is subject to the prohibition against discrimination in the instrument of government or European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). As of now, regulations of parenthood differ based on the couple’s sexuality when an insemination has taken place outside of Swedish care. I
Due to the constantly increasing threat caused by climate change necessary measures against the current situation needs to be accomplished. This study shows that one potential approach to reach this goal is by a more effective way of energy consumption. In this study the energy use of students in the city of Lund in Sweden was assessed. The purpose of the study was to find out what sort of driving
The use of spatial information has become an important resource for decision support making at national and regional levels. In this respect, several private and public organizations are continuously collecting and producing geospatial data. However, there are still problems that affect the usage of spatial information. As a response to these problems, several spatial data sharing initiatives have
Popular science summary: Analysis of Map3k-dependent molecular mechanisms regulating signaling in lymphocytes My research involves investigating the roles of Map3k1 and Map3k7 genes in relation to invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells. iNKT cells are a unique population of T cells whose phenotypical, developmental and functional characteristics differ from conventional T cells. iNKT cells exp
Thesis purpose: In order to contribute to Consumer Culture Theory, as well as critical dimensions in the foodie literature namely authenticity, democracy/distinction and gender, the study’s aim is to explore how discourses and socio-cultural meanings underlie identity constructions in the specific sourdough culture. Theoretical framework: As no research addresses the sourdough phenomenon directly
The construction sector is often criticized for its lack of efficiency and quality.When the construction industry is compared to the rest of the domestic manufacturing industry, the general conclusions of the industry’s low efficiency is confirmed. The purpose has been to clarify why there is no sustainable building, despite the well-developed technology that now is available. The report also exam
Frågan om vilken verkan ändrade förhållanden har i en avtalsrelation har alltid varit ett av kontrakträttens mest uppmärksammade problem. Vid långvariga avtal blir utvecklingen inte sällan annan än vad parterna kunnat förutse vid avtalets ingående. Ett långvarigt avtal kan sålunda under en stor del av giltighetstid ha varit förmånligt för bägge parter, men sedan på grund av ändrade förhållande bliThe significance of changed conditions for contractual obligations and liabilities has always been one of the most debated contract law issues. In long-term agreements it is often extremely difficult to forecast all possible effects of a contract due to the fact that conditions under which the contracting parties have entered into such contract may drastically change. The substance of a long-term

The purpose of this paper is to deliver a clearer picture regarding the possible effects of the in-store TV screens on consumers’ impulse purchase decision and how factors such as the gender and generation can influence the consumers’ behavior towards this digital signage. Therefore this objective academic paper will contribute to bring discernment and relevant material for future studies through
Summary The EU and the Member States are concerned about VAT fraud and they consider it necessary to reduce the gap the VAT fraud makes. The purpose of this thesis is to describe three methods that are used in the fight against VAT fraud. Those methods are the reverse charge mechanism, joint and several liability and the knowledge test. Those methods are described, defined how they are used and wh
Finansieringen av nationella vetenskapliga tidskrifter har blivit ett lömskt problem eller ett wicked problem inte bara för historia utan för humaniora i stort. Liksom andra lömska problem utmärks denna fråga av att själva problembeskrivningen är föränderlig, definitionerna undflyende samt att problemet är sammanvävt med andra komplexa problemområden. För en långsiktig lösning är det därför nödvänThe question of how to fund Swedish academic journals such as Scandia has become a wicked problem, not only for history but also for the humanities as a whole. This issue is confounded by the difficulty in terms of categorizing these journals and their funding needs and further complicated by the global movement towards open access. For the humanities, the issue of how to fund these journals is of
Amyloid formation is linked to devastating neurodegenerative diseases, motivating detailed studies of the mechanisms of amyloid formation. For Aβ, the peptide associated with Alzheimer’s disease, the mechanism and rate of aggregation have been established for a range of variants and conditions in vitro and in bodily fluids. A key outstanding question is how the relative stabilities of monomers, fi
The present study evaluates the effect of water and acetic acid washing on the chemical composition of spruce bark in-depth. Also, washing with steam explosion condensate (SEC) was investigated which is a novel attempt. The leaching kinetics of troubling elements (TE) was studied to understand the leaching behavior of TEs and for upscaling the process. Furthermore, to study the ash transformation
As a fuel for power generation, high-pressure hydrogen gas is widely used for transportation, and its efficient storage promotes the development of fuel cell vehicles (FCVs). However, as the filling process takes such a short time, the maximum temperature in the storage tank usually undergoes a rapid increase, which has become a thorny problem and poses great technical challenges to the steady ope
The Earth’s magnetic field (or geomagnetic field) has been measured for hundreds of years, starting with maritime observations from logbooks for navigation purposes to present day real-time recording by satellites. From these records, the geomagnetic field variation throughout recent time is well-understood. In order to study longer term field variations (on the scale of hundreds to thousands of y
The compelling images and promises attached to autonomous drive vehicles can easily create an impression that one can speak of a radical distinction between a self-driving future and a manual-driving present. Yet today’s drivers can already refer to their everyday driving as being experienced as though on ‘auto-pilot’, in which they are able to drive their cars while lost in things such as daydrea
