Trans-resveratrol (Res) is a well-known natural stilbene frequently found in grapes which have been reported to possess antioxidant, anti-cancer activities and inhibited COX-2 expression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short endogenous non-coding RNAs involved in the regulation of mRNA stability and protein synthesis. In our research, resveratrol isolated from Vitis heyneana Roem. & Schult Vitis heyne
We evaluated the clinical utility of the Swedish SCARED-R in child- and adolescent psychiatric outpatients (n = 239) and validated it against Longitudinal Expert All Data (LEAD) DSM IV diagnoses based on the Children’s Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (KSADS) and subsequent clinical work-up and treatment outcome. The SCARED-R total score and subscales had acceptable sensitivity/s
The present thesis investigates motion-emotion metaphors in Estonian and compares them cross-linguistically with Finnish, English and Swedish. Motion-emotion metaphors (e.g. I fell into depression) are expression types that denote affective responses, which imply conspicuous bodily changes, using motion verbs and other linguistic expressions that typically express actual motion. Metaphor has been
Sri Lanka is an island that suffers from high suicide rates and is ranked as one of the top countries in the world that have people committing suicide. Sri Lanka has been through Tsunami and a long time of conflict during a civil war. The aim of our study is to clarify how health workers talk about the high suicide rates in Sri Lanka. This is a qualitative study with an inductive approach which to
Med het avgasrecirkulering kan gasturbiners bränsleförbrukning minska med 15 %. Detta revolutionerande resultat har kommit fram genom en studie gjord som ett examensarbete på Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB. Jordens klimatförändring är vår tids största utmaning. Med mer förnybar elpoduktion, som till exempel sol- och vindkraft, ökar också behovet av snabbt reglerad balanskraft. Alltså kraft By recirculating exhaust gases to the gas turbine inlet a temperature rise and hence, a density reduction, is achieved at the compressor inlet. For a constant volume flow this results in a reduced mass flow, ultimately affecting the temperature of the flame, and the emissions, at part load. This study is conducted by creating a model of the Siemens twin shaft gas turbine SGT-750 in the software IP
In 1999, purchase of sexual services (6 Ch. 11 § The Swedish Penal Code, The Act against the purchase of sexual services) was criminalized in Sweden and the debate about it has been ongoing ever since. Previous research has primarily been attitude studies concerning social norms as well as research criticizing state agencies’ attitude towards people with experience of selling sex. Inspired by thes
CFD simulations of direct gas injection, especially in large dual-fuel engines, can be expensive both regarding time and computational power. The nozzle area needs to be resolved with a fine mesh to capture all phenomena and for a full engine model this results in a large amount of cells. A method using a Lagrangian Particle Tracking (LPT) approach was developed to handle gas injection by injectin
Nära infrarött ljus (NIR) kan användas för att säkerställa djurfodrens näringsinnehåll Det är viktigt att kunna garantera att djurfoder innehåller rätt mängd näringsämnen, oavsett vilken sorts fettkälla (såsom vegetabiliska oljor eller fiskolja) som används vid fodertillverkning. Detta kan göras med NIR-teknik! För att djur ska vara välmående är det viktigt att de får i sig rätt mängd näringsämnThe aim with this master thesis was to investigate if a certain sow feed requires different calibrations in near-infrared analysis, due to if the sow feed have fish oil or AkoFeed as fat source. To investigate this, a basic sow feed mix was prepared and divided in 60 jars with 250 g in each. In 30 of the jars 0 to 15 g fish oil were added and in the other 30 jars 0 to 21 g AkoFeed were added. 2/
In this study we aim to provide a deeper understanding of the thoughts on interaction and the collaborative work that school counselor’s facing with social services, healthcare, the school faculty and staff. The study is conducted through eight qualitative interviews with school counselors from different schools throughout the city of Malmö. We gathered the empirical material and categorized it in
The notion of politicization in government agencies has been described by many researchers as a threat to our democracy. But what exactly is meant by the term politicization, and how is it understood in the debate? As an attempt to answer this question, a discourse analytical method has been applied. The results show that politicization might not have an axiomatic definition, but rather that the d
Through case law in regional human rights systems and several reports by the United Nations, the link between climate change and human rights was established. But an international human right to a healthy environment has not been recognized yet. There is still a discrepancy between those who are the main contributor to climate change and those suffering the most under it. The quest to change the u
Att jordbruksmark bebyggs har under senare tid blivit en alltmer aktuell fråga och har skapat debatt kring skyddet av jordbruksmark. Lagstiftningen om detta skydd återfinns i 3 kap. 4 § miljöbalken (1998:808) där det anges att jordbruk är av nationell betydelse. Vidare gäller enligt paragrafen att brukningsvärd jordbruksmark får bebyggas för väsentliga samhällsintressen endast om inte annan mark, The fact that agricultural land is being exploited has become a more present question and has created a debate regarding the protection of agricultural land. The legislation of this protection is found in Chapter 3 Section 4 of the Swedish Environmental Code (1998:808) which states that agriculture is a national interest. Furthermore, it states that land suitable for cultivation may be exploited f
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the effects of both marketization and the corona pandemic on elderly care work in Swedish nursing homes. The study analyses stories, lived experiences and emotions of eight care workers by conducting qualitative semi-structured interviews. Further, I shed light on how these care workers see, feel and handle care users’ needs and organizational challenges in the
Den bästa teorin vi har om den subatomära världen kallas för ”Standardmodellen”. Standardmodellen beskriver de allra minsta partiklarna och deras interaktioner med varandra genom den elektromagnetiska svaga och starka kraften. Genom åren har Standardmodellen förutspått en rad av olika partiklar som har verifierats experimentellt. År 2012 upptäcktes den allra sista partikeln förutspådd av standardmIn this thesis, we extend the Higgs sector of the Standard Model by two scalar singlets and impose a discrete Z2 symmetry on each of them, under which, both singlets are odd. One of the two scalar singlets will acquire a vacuum expectation value while the other one does not. This leads to one scalar field mixing with the SM-like Higgs field and one stable scalar singlet. Thus, three scalar bosons
Problem area: Ecosystem services, the benefits that people obtain from nature, are essential for human well-being, but are declining globally. Even though research on ecosystem services has increased in the last decade, knowledge on cultural ecosystem services (CES), which are the non-material benefits people gain from ecosystems, is still limited. Wine production shapes special landscapes that pr
Background Whenever quality has been impaired, and a problem has been detected within a product, the producer needs to take action. However, in today’s scarce economic climate resources has to be spent where the benefits are the highest – thus initiating a prioritization problem. When not all issues can be handled at once, it is important to focus on those that provide the most in return. By selec
This paper examines whether monetary autonomy can explain the divergence in macroeconomic performance between Euro and Non-Euro countries across the OECD since 2007. The paper also provides a short overview on the gold standard literature. Historical, empirical, and theoretical accounts of the Great Depression have mainly revealed that the economic downturn in the 1930s was largely of monetary nat
The subculture of heavy metal has often been perceived as a counterculture to the leading mainstream cultural expressions and paradigms. In the light of globalization the heavy metal culture has spread to far off places around the world from its origin in the West. The Georgian heavy metal culture began developing in the last two decades since the fall of the Soviet Union, when new influences and
Deliberative democracy has during the last decades soared to the forefront of democratic theory research. It is presented as a solution to many of the deficiencies that the world's democracies currently are experiencing. However, up until recently the research about democracy in Sweden has focused on ways to include the citizens in the democratic process and not about the state of the current
To address the problems that had sprung from the detail management of the welfare sector, a result of control in the vein of New Public Management (NPM), the Swedish government commissioned the Trust Delegation (Tillitsdelegationen) to develop a trust-based steering and launched the Trust Reform (Tillitsreformen). As this new reform seeks to remedy the failures of the previous system, this thesis
