The amount of trips abroad made by Finns every year has been increasing steadily for 15 years. However, how Finns perceive or manage risks related to travelling abroad is not well known. Traditionally, risk management has been studied as a separate part of the daily life of people. This thesis focuses on the notion that risk management in travel practices can be better understood by applying ethno
In recent years outsourcing of public health care activities has increased in Sweden. Outsourcing of public health care activities involves possibilities of innovation and improvement according to many, but there are difficulties with how to maintain and control quality in the outsourced activities. The focus of this thesis is on how quality is ensured when public activities are subject to contrac
Popular Abstract in Swedish Protein H - ett bakteriellt ytprotein med förmåga att binda till olika proteiner hos människa Bakgrund I vårt dagliga liv omges vi av bakterier av många olika slag. Flertalet av dessa är normalt ofarliga och många utgör den så kallade normalfloran hos människa. En del bakterier kan under vissa förhållanden ge upphov till infektion och sjukdom, men för att åstadkomma dSeveral bacterial species express surface proteins with affinity for the Fc part of human IgG. This thesis describes evolutionary and functional studies of protein H, an IgGFc-binding surface protein of the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes. By using peptide mapping and NMR analysis the IgGFc-binding region of protein G, a surface protein of group C and G streptococci, was identified. Various
Popular Abstract in English Proteins are a big biological molecules that help cells to function. Proteins play important roles in all vital processes of the living cell, transporting molecules, speeding up chemical reactions, supporting structure of other proteins and the cell, helping the cell to move. Various disease-causing agents (e.g. bacteria and viruses) are constant threat to us. It is thMost drugs act on biomacromolecules. The Cost of developing new drugs is very high. A method to accurately predict binding affinities would be very useful. We have studied molecular mechanics with generalised Born and surface--area solvation (MM/GBSA) and alchemical free energy perturbation methods (FEP) for use in calculations of ligand binding energies. For the MM/GBSA method we have tested: Ca
Effective communication between students and supervisors has been shown to be of importance for a high quality doctoral education by many pedagogical studies (Manathunga [1], Delamont, Aktinson and Parry [2], Halse and Malfroy [3], Bergnéher [4]). This contribution focuses on communication between supervisors and doctoral students with regard to the writing of the doctoral thesis. When it comes to
Because of increased volumes in trade, maritime transport has been developed into an important determinant for economic development. Considering 124 countries over three time periods, this study aims to present the general correlation between economic growth and seaborne trade. The result is achieved by constructing a two-way error component model with fixed time and country effects consisting of
While research on the ramifications of automated decision-making (ADM) for welfare organisations is growing rapidly, less attention has been paid to elucidating the role and experiences of clients in the ADM process. This paper draws attention to how the performance of ADM policy in social assistance organisations working from an activation perspective is not merely a passive way of processing cli
Violence against children occurs worldwide despite explicit prohibitions. In Article 19 in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child there is a prohibition against physical and psychological violence towards children. States shall take all appropriate legislative, administrative, social and educational measures to protect the child. According to Article 23 (4) the convention state
Collaboration between academia and society has become a key priority for many higher education institutions (HEIs). In Sweden, this is partly driven by political calls to secure the long-term provision of knowledge, innovation and competitiveness. At the system and institutional level, responses to this are reflected in governance structures and strategic documents.

Reduced weight and maintenance make it advantageous to replace steel with Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites in maritime applications, but being combustible makes fire safety a burning issue. A new methodology in regulations has opened up for innovative design solutions if they can be regarded as safe as a design complying with all prescriptive requirements. However, an uneven safety level

Many spatial audio applications, including active noise control, virtual reality, and the generation of individual sound zones, rely on an understanding of acoustic propagation. In room acoustics, which is the focus of this thesis,the sound field generated by a point source is typically modelled as a linear time-invariant system, described by its room impulse response (RIR). The RIR captures the r
Contractors who start building based on incomplete documents will always require many costly solutions.

Effects of flow are a fundamental part of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Since almost every part of the body contains some kind of flow, the effects are seen in generally all MR images. The presence of flow in an image slice may be a vast source of artefacts but the effects of flow can also be used for diagnostic purposes, for example in magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). In MRA, flow effect

Structural Asymmetries – The View from Kutchi Gujarati and Marwari Patrick Grosz & Pritty Patel-Grosz (University of Tübingen) Background: Indo-Aryan languages exhibit a split in their case and/or agreement pattern that correlates with aspect.

Sanctions have become a frequently used tool of political interactions around the globe, and the U.S. is he leading countries when it comes to imposing economic sanctions. While the intention of economic sanctions is to put pressure on the target to alter its behaviour, research has shown that economic sanctions can have negative effects even on the sender country.

In 2014 Salters et. al. introduced the concept of an UV-emitting wallpaper. By using UVC LEDs, a completely clean ship hull surface can be achieved without polluting the marine environment with biocides, normally associated with antifouling paints. A larger hull surface area could be illuminated by a single LED if the LED light is used efficiently. Exactly how the light exits the wallpaper materia
