The drug discovery and development process has changed dramatically during the last decades and the growth of more efficient techniques as high throughput screening combined with combinatorial synthesis using amino acids and carboxylic acids on solid support makes it possible to investigate the affinity of molecules towards a biological target. Fragment based drug discovery (FBDD) has been impleme
The aim of this master thesis is to examine how institutional rules and demands, present in cultural politics, affects the work with digitalisation in local museums. According to narrative trends in Sweden’s national cultural politics, digitalisation has the potential to encourage and increase democracy by enabling participation and wider access. Therefore, digitisation practices in cultural insti
This thesis aims to deconstruct the manner in which cultural differences are perceived and dealt with in international and multicultural school in Sweden by combining postcolonial and poststructuralist theories. Applying Bhabha’s theoretical turn from cultural diversity to cultural differences, ethnographic methods were used to examine parents’ and staff member’s relationship with these difference
The goal of this thesis is to construct p-harmonic functions on the Lie groups U(n), SU(n), U(p,q) and SU(p,q) equipped with the semi-Riemannian metric g(Z,W) = Re trace ( Z W^t ). To do this we present a method which relies on the notion of eigenfunctions. We define these functions and find examples of them defined on the relevant groups. To our knowledge, these eigenfunctions have not been p
The Defunctionalization of carbonyl functionality into methylene by metal-catalyzed hydrosilylation is very important in organic synthesis. But very less work is done in literature because of the need for a large amount of energy for C-O bond dissociation. Metal-catalyzed defunctionalization of carbonyl compounds in the presence of silanes as a mild reducing agent is studied because of its presenc
Befolkningen i Sverige står inför en demografisk utveckling och en allt större andel av Sveriges befolkning kommer vara äldre. År 2018 estimerades att andelen personer äldre än 80 år kommer öka med upp till hela 50 procent i Sverige under de närmaste tio åren Det leder i sin tur till en större påfrestning på landets vård och omsorg och det kommer behövas fler äldreboenden för att möta den ökande e
Syftet med den aktuella studien var att, med kvalitativ och explorativ ansats, undersöka förutsättningarna för föräldrar till barn med autismspektrumtillstånd (AST) att skapa trygg anknytning för sina barn, utifrån en förståelse för deras tankar och känslor om sin relation med sitt barn, och sitt föräldraskap – så kallade omvårdnadsrepresentationer. Vidare syftade studien till att undersöka huruvi
Sealing of the transverse seal (TS) represents a fundamental step in the assembling of aseptic packages. To prevent the package from being penetrated by gases and pathogens the TS must be tightly sealed. An understanding of the conditions that influence the flow and deformation of polymers is instrumental to designing sealing systems that are reliable and effective. This thesis was focused on cons
This research explains the distribution of rewards within the innovative economic practice of online motorcycle taxi services in Indonesia. Those analyzed are online transportation platforms and their driver-partners. These two are analyzed using the theoretical framework of the innovation economy, which is conceptualized as cumulative, uncertain, and collective economic processes by Mariana Mazzu
This essay focuses on the phenomenon of the new man and new masculinity and how it is used and described in fashion articles. The phenomenon points at something new but within a historical context we see that the new man goes back in history. The aim of this essay is to find what the new man and its new masculinity is today according to fashion journalism. The empirical data consists of ten fashio
Syftet med den här studien har varit att tolka hur unga män i åldern 18–24 år utifrån emotionssociologisk synvinkel upplever känslan av rädsla och trygghet, och hur de utifrån ett genusperspektiv talar om känslor. Vidare har studien undersökt vad som bidrar till de unga männens känsla av rädsla och trygghet. Detta har gjorts genom en kvalitativ metod i form av fem semi strukturerade intervjuer med
Abstract The utilization of one-carbon compounds, such as methanol, as a feedstock for production of high value compounds is a fast developing area within cell factory engineering. Methanol is a cheap and easily stored compound, which can be produced from CO2 and renewable energy. Engineering microbial cell factories for utilization of methanol could therefore contribute to decreasing the amounts
Society and companies are becoming increasingly digitized. If you compare company structures historically and today you will see some palpable differences. Today, there are companies that work almost exclusively digitally. Therefore, a new focus is created on assets that lack physical form, that is intangible assets. These are dealt with today within the accounting regulations and practices, but t
Sweden is at the forefront of becoming the first country with a net zero emission by 2045. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a multi faceted approach, incorporating a wide variety of both technological and societal advances. Within the realm of accomplishing a more environmentally friendly energy usage, smart metering is key. Sweden is rolling out a second generation of smart meters, targetin
Den sociala samlingsplatsen i staden är en av de absolut viktigaste komponenterna i uppbyggandet av urbana strukturer och skapandet av urbana miljöer. Offentliga platser är stadens vardagsrum. Här formas det kollektiva urbana livet och komplexa sociala interaktioner som är vitala för stadslivets existens. Men i takt med teknologins större påverkan i människans liv har vårt samhälle utvecklats åt dThe social public space is without a doubt one of the most important components that make up the city. These spaces are considered anchors of community life and facilitate and foster broader, more creative interaction between people. But with advancing technology we are witnessing a change in the way humans interact with people becoming more private therefore resulting in an increasingly secluded
The European Green Deal is an example of a growth-oriented environmental policy approach. However, from the perspective of Degrowth, the narrative of unlimited growth is criticized. Therefore, this thesis analyses resistant texts in reaction to the set of environmental policy initiatives proposed by the European Green Deal. To address the underlying power relations that constitute a dependency on
In this project, calculations for the total binding energy of all even-even nuclei available from experimental data are performed using the HFBTHO program. An artificial neural network is applied to train the information obtained from the HFBTHO calculations and predict the binding energy for the nuclei. The results show impressive improvements to the HFBTHO program. In recent years, the combinati
Abstract Introduction. The Brain is an amazingly complex piece of biological hardware, capable of massive information processing. It relies heavily on the delicate interactions between huge distributed networks to work properly. When these interactions are altered there can be any number of consequences. These carefully tuned networks are largely dependent on the internal interaction of multiple g
This study investigates the correlation between the US stock market, oil prices, gold prices and the stock markets of five emerging markets: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS), in order to explore the risk spillovers and the financial contagion between the markets. A DCC-GJR-GARCH model is applied to daily data of returns from January 2000 to April 2020 and considers both a full
Tröger’s base is a chiral molecule with a unique V-shaped cavity. The molecules can be fused together in a linear fashion to form either tubular structures or zigzag structures. These structures can be applicable in different fields. Following this, linear fused tris-Tröger’s base analogue has been synthesized, following a nine- step synthetic route. Furthermore, characterizations of the reaction
