How are penicillin-binding proteins sorted in cells? A bacterial cell wall can be regarded as a brick building, in which the bricks and the cement hold the building together, provide structure for the building, protect its contents, and allow only certain substances to enter. Many antibiotics target proteins that function in cell wall morphogenesis (the process of building the brick wall in this
This master thesis is a subproject of a research project run by Markaryds Metallamatur AB (MMA), the department industrial production at Lunds Technical University, Chalmers Technical University, The University at Halmstad and Oerlikon Balzers Sandvik Coating AB. The research project includes research about material properties, machining and a cost analysis of different brass compositions, primari
Abstract of chapter 1 For n >= 2 the number of mixing n-step subshifts of finite type (sft) over the alphabet {0, 1} is proven to be at least 15/16 times the number of transitive n-step sfts. A conjecture assumes the latter to be at least 2^(3*2^(n-1)-n). Abstract of chapter 2 The alternating colouring function is defined. Strings over the alphabet {0, 1} are divided in colourable and non-colouraImagine an of characters A and B. Such can be thought of as a paper strip with As and Bs written on it, one end of which one holds in the hand while the other stretches over the horizon without ever ending. Or as a calculator that displays a new character each second. Or as a printer with an infinite amount of paper and ink that unfortunately only prints As and Bs. In contrast to infinite strings
Den traditionella synen i fordringsmål är att den borgenär som kräver betalning på grund av påstådd försträckning måste styrka att denne har en fordran mot utpekad gäldenär. Denna utgångspunkt slogs fast i Högsta domstolens dom NJA 1975 s. 577 och har sedan dess varit huvudregeln i fordringsmål. I samband med 1975 års avgörande lanserades en särskild presumtionsregel. Högsta domstolen menade att dThe traditional view in Swedish law is that a creditor who demands payment from a debtor based on an alleged loan must prove that a loan agreement has been concluded between the parties. This general rule was established by the Supreme Court of Sweden in case NJA 1975 p. 577 and has ever since been the principle. In connection with the 1975 decision, the Supreme Court launched a special presumptio
Enligt 1 § i Lag (1999:116) om skiljeförfarande ska ett skiljeavtal som avser framtida tvister för att vara giltigt avse ett i skiljeavtalet angivet rättsförhållande. Kravet på att i skiljeavtalet ange ett rättsförhållande kallas konkretiseringskravet. Denna framställning behandlar två centrala aspekter av bestämmelsen i 1 § lag (1999:116) om skiljeförfarande; dels innebörden av konkretiseringskraAccording to 1 § of the Swedish Arbitration Act, an arbitration agreement regarding future disputes must, in order to be valid, refer to a legal relationship designated in the arbitration agreement. The requirement to refer to a designated legal relationship is termed as the concretisation requirement. This paper evaluates two key aspects of the 1 § of the Swedish Arbitration Act: the scope of the
Drygt femton miljoner människor avlider av cancer och stroke varje år, vilket gör dem till några av de svåraste sjukdomarna som vi drabbas av. Dödligheten hos dessa sjukdomar påverkas främst av när dem upptäcks. Ju tidigare sjukdomen diagnostiseras, desto högre blir sannolikheten för att den botas. Tidig upptäckt kräver känsliga diagnostiska metoder, särskilt de som kan detektera förändringar i väFifteen million people lose their lives to stroke and cancer every year. This amounts to one in every four deaths worldwide, making these among the deadliest diseases affecting humankind. Fruitful attempts at containing stroke- and cancer-related mortality hinge on early detection. Diffusion MRI (dMRI) is an imaging modality that is sensitive to tissue microstructure, and therefore unveils tissue
Obegränsad skattskyldighet, vilket innebär att en person är skattskyldig för alla inkomster både från Sverige och utlandet, kan för en fysisk person föreligga enligt tre alternativa grunder. En av dessa grunder är väsentlig anknytning, som innebär att en från Sverige utflyttad person med vissa så kallade anknytningspunkter kan anses ha väsentlig anknytning och därmed bli obegränsat skattskyldig. Unlimited tax liability, i.e. when a person’s Swedish and foreign income is taxable, can exist for a natural person on three grounds. One of these grounds is substantial affiliation, meaning that a person who has emigrated from Sweden with certain so-called affiliation grounds can be considered to have substantial affiliation and thus be the subject of unlimited tax liability. The regulation has,
The Campanian marine strata from Åsen, north east part of the Kristianstad Basin (southern Sweden) contain a most diverse vertebrate and invertebrate marine fossil assemblages. A diverse fossil fauna was collected from Campanian deposits from a ca. 4.15m thick section during June-August 2010-2012. The succession is divided into two zones, the latest early Campanian Belemnellocamax mammilatus Zone
Att minska energiförbrukningens klimatpåverkan handlar om att göra energieffektiviseringar och att ersätta fossil energi med icke-fossil. Olika icke-fossila energilösningar ger olika klimatpåverkan sett ur ett livscykelperspektiv, och därför är valet av icke-fossila energilösningar av betydelse för klimatet. Biogas kan användas både för värme- och elproduktion samt som drivmedel. Detta examensarbeReducing climate impact from energy consumption is a matter of improving energy efficiency and replacing fossil energy with non-fossil. Different non-fossil energy alternatives cause different climate impact in a life-cycle perspective and, therefore, the choices between non-fossil energy alternatives have an impact on the climate performance. Biogas can be used for both heat- and electricity prod
Matavfallskvarnar är ett smidigt sätt att samla in matavfall på. Med nya system behöver matavfallet inte transporteras till reningsverket utan kan istället lagras i tankar för att sedan köras direkt till biogasanläggningen. Här produceras biogas av matavfallet genom rötning. Biogas är en förnybar energikälla som bland annat kan användas som fordonsbränsle, uppvärmning och elproduktion. Genom att To collect, treat and use food waste is desirable in society in order to recycle and efficiently use all resources. One stage of one of the Swedish environmental goals is to collect and treat 50 % of the food waste biologically in year 2018. A useful product from this treatment is biogas, which can be used for fueling vehicles, heating and producing electricity. Biogas could be produced from food
Epilepsy is a disorder which today affects roughly 1% of the global population, this percentage is slightly higher in developing countries and slightly lower in industrialised countries. Epilepsy can be caused by a large number of factors such as traumatic head injury, genetic predisposition, complications at child birth and more. An epileptic seizure consists of an electrical discharge in the b
A thesis about the right to life in internal armed conflict must necessarily take both human rights law and humanitarian law into account. Human rights law, which has codified the right to life in its main instruments, is applicable both in time of peace and in time of war, whereas humanitarian law is only applicable during armed conflict. The question is thus how these two branches of law influen
The GATT/WTO has not been covered in any of the compulsory subjects in the law programme, and there are no electives on the subject. This is something that should be made clear already at the outset, because it puts the thesis in the right perspective. Like all other law students, I knew nothing about the subject when I started to work on the thesis, and even now, my expertise only dates back a fe
This thesis concerns the importance of judicial review system in safeguarding human rights. It examines different review systems on international level, regional level and domestic level. In the second half of the thesis, China, as a specially targeted country, has been examined in better detail of its judicial review system. The aim of this thesis is to, through introduction of, and comparison wi
The purpose of this thesis is to investigate whether a new rule of customary international law has evolved that allows for an exception to the Head of State immunity regarding the perpetration of international crimes. In the legal literature and in codification attempts the view has been expressed that this new rule already exists. This thesis investigates whether this is a correct interpretation
Den juridiska regleringen av den svenska kommersiella byggnads- och anläggningsbranschen domineras av standardavtal framtagna av Byggandets Kontraktskommitté (BKK). AB 04 utgör de allmänna bestämmelserna för utförandeentreprenader och ABT 06 för totalentreprenader. Den grundläggande skillnaden mellan entreprenadformerna är ansvarsfördelningen av entreprenadens projektering och därav också objektetThe legal regulation of the Swedish commercial building and construction industry is dominated by standard contracts drawn up by the organisation Byggandets Kontraktskommitté (BKK). AB 04 constitutes the general provisions for construction contracts where design is the client's responsibility and ABT 06 for design-build contracts. The fundamental difference between the two types of standard co
Problem Statement: The project started with a request from IKEA to contribute more to the environment. The task for this project, issued by IKEA, was to create a concept for a free-standing indoor storage unit for recyclable waste. The unit should hold at least seven different types of waste: cardboard, plastic, paper, metal, glass, deposit waste and some smaller hazardous waste, such as batteries
Uppsatsen behandlar 3:12-reglernas utveckling och grundläggande syfte, vilka problem som reglerna gett upphov till samt den nya löneunderlagsregeln som infördes den 1 januari 2014. 3:12-reglerna avgör hur stor del kapitalvinstbeskattad utdelning en aktiv delägare i ett fåmansföretag får ta ut. Kapitalinkomster beskattas efter en proportionell skattesats och förvärvsinkomster efter en progressiv This paper analyses the development of the 3:12 rules, their fundamental purpose and the complications associated with them. Furthermore, the alterations of the general rule considering the wage based allowance introduced on the 1st of January 2014 will also be examined. To be covered by the aformentioned 3:12 rules a company must be considered as a closely held corporation according to 56 kap. 2
Climate adaptation is necessary to address the impacts of the climate change which is already unavoidable due to past emissions. There is a strong need for knowledge building, for which climate-related knowledge and information needs to be made available through different types of climate services. The aim with this study is to examine how useful climate services are, as a knowledge base for decis
