Microgravity-induced bone loss is a major concern for space travelers. Ground-based microgravity simulators are crucial to study the effect of microgravity exposure on biological systems and to address the limitations posed by restricted access to real space. In this work, for the first time, we adopt a multidisciplinary approach to characterize the morphological, biochemical, and molecular change

The worldwide growing demand for whey proteins and derivatives requires more efficient and sustainable whey protein production processes. Whey is an important by-product from cheese manufacturing. In whey industry membrane processes such as microfiltration, ultrafiltration, nanofiltration and reverse osmosis are well-established to concentrate, fractionate and purify whey proteins as well as whey

Aim: The aim of this review was to develop a deeper knowledge of the physiology of coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve in young patients with congenital heart disease and inflammatory diseases. Methods: We searched for papers published in English on coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve using the PubMed and Google search databases. This identified 42 papers extending back to 1976

The analytical distinction between critical and problem-solving research is useful. At the onset of research, the latter takes the world as it is while the former questions it. Yet, in striving to integrate social and natural dimensions of sustainability such a distinction may surface as a methodological obstacle. We illustrate how combining critical with problem-solving approaches can help us ima

This essay aims to display how orientalism is incorporating itself through children's literature. By understanding orientalism as a hegemonic discourse, and examining it through a foucaultian discourse analysis, my soul purpose is to discuss wether orientalism gains strength and viability through the works of authors. The result show that the orientalistic discourse feeds itself by affecting t

Enzyme engineering for a better future It is essential for many organisms on this planet to be able to digest plants. One of those organisms is the blue mussel, which uses certain enzymes in its stomach to break down sugar fibers in the algae that it eats. But how does this really work, and can we use it for anything? Plant cells have very strong walls, protecting them from environmental stress.

This paper has adopted a discursive approach in examining and analyzing discursive formation of Palestinian national identity under the circumstances of conflict and through the impact and channels of politics. Through the methodology of Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis and Daniel Bar-Tal’s theory about societal beliefs, two political and public speeches are analyzed. The speeches h

Facebook i en arbetsrelaterad kontext Idag finns det begränsat med teori kring forskningsämnet Facebook som intern kommunikationskanal. Syftet med vår studie är att analysera hur en sluten Facebookgrupp, som internkommunikationskanal inom en organisation, upplevs och hanteras av medarbetare, samt analysera hur gränsdragningen mellan den privata och professionella sfären hanteras. Med denna uppsatFacebook in a work related context Little research has been conducted on Facebook and its impact on internal communication within organizations. Therefore we found it interesting to further analyze this phenomenon and contribute to this new area of theoretical research. The purpose of our study is to analyze how a closed group on Facebook functions as an internal channel for communication within

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. There is a gap in the existing knowle

This paper reports on the results of a cross-sectional study that focused on the impact of attitudes, subjective norms and consumer innovativeness on intention to purchase cosmetic products. Beginning with the Theory of Reasoned Action (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980; Fishbein, 1980; Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975), several models have been proposed to conceptualize the complex behavioral and social proce

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly disabling disease affecting all structures of the joint. Understanding the pathology behind the development of RA is essential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies as well as for developing novel markers to predict disease onset. Several molecules normally hidden within the cartilage tissue are exposed to complement components in the synovial fluid u

Med hjälp av tredimensionella datorsimulationer har vi studerat utfallen från kollisioner mellan planeter. Målet med projektet var att utreda beroendet av kollisionsparametrar som till exempel avståndet vid närmaste passage, hastighet och planeternas massor. Vi kom fram till att planeterna kan bli gravitationellt bundna efter kollisionerna på grund av energiförluster som gör att de eventuellt kollUsing three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations, we have studied the outcomes from collisions between Jupiter-like planets. Planet models have been generated from polytropic profiles using a polytropic index of n=1 and each planet is represented by 15,000 particles. The dependency on a range of parameters specifying the point of closest approach, velocity at infinity and

The Troubles in Northern Ireland have played a prominent part in modern European history. Despite the success of the Peace Process in the 1990s and subsequent stabilisation of the conflict through the introduction of power-sharing and paramilitary decommissioning of weapons, tensions still dominate the province. This thesis uses the Copenhagen School of Security Studies to investigate processes of

The adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court identified for the first time in international criminal law the crime against humanity of persecution on gender grounds. The inclusion was however not uncontested, and especially the term gender was a source of debate during the negotiation process. Because of diverging national positions on what the term gender meant, it was dec

The aim of this study was to explore how personal stories describe social norms when speaking of sexuality. Data was collected through a qualitative thematic analysis of the book Flickan och skammen written by Katarina Wennstam. The book contains six personal stories of women who have been exposed to sexual violence at some point in their life. The results of the study show that social norms have

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka situationen för de strukturellt hemlösa i Malmö idag. Detta i avseende till en ny vägledning skriven av Malmö stad som menar att det bara är de socialt hemlösa som bör få bistånd till boende och inte de strukturellt hemlösa. Studien inkluderar intervjuer med personal från organisationen Skåne Stadsmission och även en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av denna nya Headline: Structural homelessness - An intersectional study of the consequences of Malmö Municipality’s work with homelessness. The purpose of this study is to explore the situation of the structurally homeless in Malmö today. This regards to a new guideline made by the municipality of Malmö that states that only the socially homeless should be able to get housing assistance, meaning that the st

The concept of motivation is frequently used in the field of social work and is often understood as both a feeling, an internal experience, as well as something social workers do with their clients. But with a social constructive perspective we will soon come to realize that the concept of motivation contains several layers of underlying discourse. The aim of this study was therefore to explore ho

There are good reasons to believe that furniture designers can play an important role in the design of appropriate caring environments and thus contribute to the care that is provided. Designers are usually engaged by manufacturers that develop furniture for public procurement and a market for elderly consumers but without being able to learn from those who spend their everyday lives in these envi

In higher natural science education, the scientific report is the prevailing genre of writing. Despite the fact that communicative skills are highly valued in working life, earlier studies have shown deficiencies among science students. In this paper, we highlight the need for varied communication training, in particularly arguing for the possibilities that students’ popular science writing offers
