The reaction kinetics of Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) in the commercially available preparation Novozym (R) 435 (N435) were compared to those of preparations of CalB immobilised on Accurel (R) MP1000 (porous polypropylene). Two polypropylene preparations were made using enzyme loadings of 0.2% and 2% (w/w). All three preparations were used in hydrolysis as well as transesterification of two

The deficiency or abnormal function of von Willebrand factor (VWF) causes von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most frequent inherited bleeding disorder. The laboratory diagnosis of VWD can be difficult as the disease is heterogeneous and an array of assays is required to describe the phenotype. Basic classification of quantitative (type 1 and 3) and qualitative (type 2) VWD variants requires determi

The aim of this study was to compare the conventional combination of three-dimensional dosimeter (nPAG gel) and readout method (MRI) with other combinations of three-dimensional dosimeters (nPAG gel/Presage (TM)) and readout methods (optical CT scanners). In the first experiment, the dose readout of a gel irradiated with a four field-box technique was performed with both an Octopus IQ scanner and

Understanding the evolution of evolvability—the evolutionary potential of populations—is key to predicting adaptation to novel environments. Despite growing evidence that evolvability structures adaptation, it remains unclear how adaptation to novel environments in turn influences evolvability. Here we address the interplay between adaptation and evolvability in the peacock fly Tephritis conura, w

Radiation protection is of importance for the general public, patients and personnel in many different situations: rare accidents involving ionizing radiation, medical examinations or work tasks in the medical clinic or nuclear industry to name a few. Optimization in radiation protection and limitation of radiation doses are essential to prevent overexposure and for reducing negative health conseq

Cambodia´s complicated political landscape has created a development context that the international community long struggled to navigate. In this paper I – through a theoretical framework that conceptualises a political context as a historically located totality and defines the quest for political legitimacy as a constraint that can be used to make inferences about the behaviour and actions prefer

The aim of this paper is to explore which skills and mindsets are necessary for successful leadership in the digital era. It is written for IKEA who are interested in remaining at the forefront of their industry by understanding how digitalisation affects their business and how to make the most of the opportunities it brings, one aspect of which is leadership.

This thesis investigates whether the share of female legislative representation on a national level has an impact on public expenditure on social issues such as health care, education and elderly care. Using panel data primarily from the Comparative Welfare States dataset I perform a within-country analysis over time using both OLS and IV estimations. I use two instruments, laws on gender quota an

Despite available vaccines, rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis remains to be an alarming cause of under-five mortality, especially in developing countries. Research on RV has been limited by the lack of faithful in vitro models that mimic virus-host interaction and RV pathogenesis in the intestine. Most recently, adult stem cell-derived organoids have advanced the understanding of the cellular mechani

With the ambitious objectives of the European Green Deal, offshore wind energy is especially an important sector of Europe’s renewable energy strategy. This thesis aims to clarify the intricate legal and regulatory structures governing offshore wind projects, with a particular focus on the permitting process in Denmark and Sweden, and to what extent it is aligned with the Renewable Energy Directiv

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancer forms in women and is a disease in need of improved biomarkers for detection and drug targets alike. Such molecules can be discovered by studying the proteome of the cells. Phosphoproteomic studies have become increasingly more popular as it has a high potential for mapping cell signaling and to find new signaling molecules for drug targeting. Currentl

Most exporting firms in the world also import foreign inputs in production. Recent findings elucidate the importance of imports as a driver of firm productivity on the amount of goods exported. This study aims at investigating the correlation between imports and firm productivity, not the causality. It will add to previous research by shifting focus from import participation to import intensity an

Ungdomsbrottslighet har konsekvent varit föremål för diskussion. Frågan om hur samhället ska reagera mot ungdomsbrottslighet är en återkommande fråga. I förevarande uppsats följer en historisk utveckling av vilka straffrättsliga frihetsberövande påföljder som funnits för barn. Med hjälp av den kriminalpolitiska utvecklingen beträffande synen på ungdomsbrottslighet ger uppsatsen ett perspektiv på vYouth crime has consistently been the subject of debate. The question of how society should react to juvenile offences is an ongoing debate. This paper follows the historical development of the criminal law sanctions related to the deprivation of liberty for children. With the help of the development of criminal policy regarding the view of juvenile offences, the paper provides a perspective on wh

This conflict has resulted in many instances of violence between the two parts and protests from the supporters. Some that have been met with even harder legislation around and during football games in Stockholm. The police are actively trying to make a safer envoierment during the games while the support

This study sought to investigate unaccompanied migrant children’s experiences in different forms of Swedish Social Work. The primary goal of the study was to obtain a general picture of how the children perceived treatment from authority figures in their daily lives. The study was made in the light of current political events in Europe, where migrant children have been both criminalized and victim
