This is an explorative and, at times, tentative text on the potential meanings and uses of the concept Existential Sustainability in social work and social work research. The overall argument is that to create a positive change in the lives of people in general, service users more specifically, and to sustain such change over time, it is necessary to acknowledge an existential dimension and existe
Membrane proteins play several important roles in a cell. Among these proteins are aquaporins (AQPs) and transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels that mediate water transport, temperature and noxious chemical sensation, respectively. The function of some AQPs, for example the spinach isoform SoPIP2;1 is regulated by pH, phosphorylation and heavy metals such as mercury. However, the mechanis
Healthy eye lenses are transparent and flexible, able to adapt shape in order to focus on far away and close-by objects. With age, however, this flexibility is lost, leading to a condition known as presbyopia. This vision disorder where close-by objects appear blurred commonly starts around the age of 40. The aim of this thesis is to elucidate the molecular origin of the gradual hardening of the c
Barley is one of the most important crops in the world. Although it is mainly used as the raw material for the production of beer and animal feed, it has recently attracted interest from nutritionists and consumers, due to its high content of dietary fibre, especially β-glucan, and its relation to various positive health effects. The proposed mechanisms behind the health effects are the formation
Teaching computers to find factors that affect the mental health of app users By training computers to find patterns in how users answer questions regarding their mental health in self-report apps, factors that affect the users' psychological well-being can be found.
The Chua circuit, known to exhibit chaotic behaviour, has been constructed and studied. The goal was to investigate the experimental underpinning of the theory. The component relationship of the resistors, capacitors, inductors and operational amplifiers have been measured and established within their domain of validity. The system equations themselves cannot be directly validated through a tradit
This thesis deals with how the Swedish EU membership has been regulated constitutionally. Although the EU membership arguably has had profound effects on Swedish public policymaking very little about this is mentioned in the constitution. How can that be? The inquiry is made more relevant by the fact it has been described as an “elephant in the room” – an obvious problem that no one wants to discu
