The complete mitochondrial genomes of two reptiles, the common iguana (Iguana iguana) and the caiman (Caiman crocodylus), were sequenced in order to investigate phylogenetic questions of tetrapod evolution. The addition of the two species allows analysis of reptilian relationships using data sets other than those including only fast-evolving species. The crocodilian mitochondrial genomes seem to h
Substitution of W for the Mo in M2-type Mo-V-Te-oxide was investigated. XRD, FTIR, XANES, and HRTEM verified that the substitution is possible in the whole range up to complete replacement of Mo by W. Catalytic measurements for propene ammoxidation show that both the specific activity and the selectivity to acrylonitrile pass through a maximum with increase of the W-content of the catalyst. XRD an
Hedersrelaterat våld är för svenskt vidkommande inte längre ett främmande begrepp eller fenomen. Inte desto mindre är ämnet politiskt laddat och debatten om hedersrelaterat våld är fortfarande högaktuell. Inte minst på det straffrättsliga området gör sig problematiken gällande och det tycks råda en oklarhet kring vilken betydelse heder bör ha i rättsliga sammanhang. Hedersrelaterat våld är ett kViolence in the name of honour is no longer an unknown concept or phenomenon in the Swedish society. Nevertheless, the issue is subject of an ongoing political debate. The problematic aspects of violence in the name of honour are evident within the criminal justice system and there appears to be inherent uncertainties regarding the role of honour in the legal context. Violence in the name of hon
The objective of the present study is to outline, generate, and evaluate a series of tests, which pertains to establish if there is a relationship between speech intelligibility and presence of dead regions. An extensive speech test was constructed using low-pass and band-pass filtered City University of New York- sentences (CUNY's) and vowelconsonat- vowel-utterances (VCV's). Furthermore,
Recent research indicates that several neurological diseases that affect motor functions could be diagnosed using analysis of detailed arm and hand motion. This analysis has earlier been carried out manually by looking for certain mo- tion patterns in patients and animals performing a skilled reaching task. In this thesis we investigate the possibility of performing these tests in a more auto- mat
In recent years, the raising concern about carbon dioxide emissions has been linked to not only environmental or industrial, but also financial aspects. Common financial determinants of carbon dioxide emissions analysed by previous studies include economic and financial development, financial structure, and trade openness of a country. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the financial det
Direct bandgap metal lead halide perovskites offer promising optoelectronic properties desirable in a wide range of applications including photodetection. However, the incomplete and poor understanding of the photophysical processes taking place in these materials, along with their poor stability, is the bottleneck for optimisation and further development of metal halide perovskite devices. In thi
This conceptual thesis analyses Carlota Pérez vision of a ‘Green Global Golden Age’ that is supposed to reconcile the tension between economic growth and sustainability (Pérez, 2016b). Aiming to address the pressing issue of continued unsustainability, Pérez’ proposed solution is based on the assumption that technological innovation in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
There is a consensus within both academia and politics on the important role of cities in achieving a more sustainable world, however, many scholars emphasise that the implementation of sustainable cities is often unsuccessful. The planning process from sustainability visions to actual implementation in an urban context is not straightforward or linear, and discursive struggles influence the proce
The study of post-translational modification has driven scientist to have a better understanding of protein function, activity and behavior in the metabolism that could later be useful for developing new drugs and treatments targeting key proteins in diseases, like cancer or neuronal disorders. In this project we tried to optimize the Acyl-Biotin Exhange of proteins coming from Chinese Hamster Ova
This qualitative study examines the dominant fertility discourse in Finnish media in 2019, when the total fertility rate dropped to an all-time low level, spurring media debate and political attention. The study analyses the representations and framings of fertility, and the underlying norms, assumptions, power-structures and silences in the dominant discourse using discourse analytical tools, mor
Sunlight is filtered through the web of branches giving an airy feel to the forest stroll. A soft floor and a light ceiling supported by majestic pillars encloses us in one of the most spectacular places nature has to offer. A homogeneous place, yet with variations in scale, texture and spaces. In one hand, an aggregation of small parts into a whole, on the other, clearly differentiated, strong ob
Technological advancements cause it to be more common for managers and subordinates to work together from different geographical locations. It is associated with challenges, which virtual leadership is supposed to support in overcoming. As the leader is central in studies on virtual leadership, this qualitative study takes a different perspective and has as its purpose to understand how leadership
Under 2015 steg andelen konsumenter som handlat på mobilen från 16 % till hela 42 %. Ökningen kan bero på att hemsidor blir mer mobilanpassade. Trots det finns det fortfarande en del användare som uppfattar det som mindre säkert att handla på mobilen i jämfört med på en dator. Förtroenden för e-handel skapas i flera led, där gränssnittet bara en del som påverkar kundens tillit. Detta projekt gjord
With rapid urbanization and population growth, Addis Ababa faces a big challenge of dealing with slums in the inner city. It has used up most of its space within its boundary and there are now a number of projects on the pipe line to redevelop the inner city slums. This seems to be the single most pressing issue currently. The recent public housing projects and inner city renewal programs has cau
Equitable distribution of healthcare services towards the reduction of HIV-AIDS prevalence in Nigeria remains a major public health concern. One of several research model to solve this public health problem is the use Geographical Information System, a two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA), this model emerged in the last decade as a key measure of spatial accessibility, particularly in its appl
In 1968 the alternative artist Sture Johannesson was assigned the task of creating a poster for Underground, an exhibition that took place at Lunds Konsthall. The poster named Revolution means revolutionary consciousness! recieved tremendous attention due to its all too clear subversive messages. It seemed as if Johannesson was promoting a psychedelic, sexual and marxist revolution. The official d
The site of the project is located in Ådalen, a stretch along Ångermanälven in northern Sweden. A region that during the 19th century grew and flourished through the wood industry only to stagnate and be phased out in the middle of the 20th century. After that the region has been fraught with closures and population decline. In relation to the industries that have existed in the region, I have c
