SUMMARY: Antibody repertoires reveal insights into the biology of the adaptive immune system and empower diagnostics and therapeutics. There are currently multiple tools available for the annotation of antibody sequences. All downstream analyses such as choosing lead drug candidates depend on the correct annotation of these sequences; however, a thorough comparison of the performance of these tool
Abstract Since the early 1990s the concept of ?women empowerment? has gained ground in the development discourse as a result of the acknowledgement of the marginalization of women in development strategies. Poverty is frequently given the face of a woman, making it fashionable to evolve gender sensitive development schemes based on women empowerment, which are supposed to challenge the victimizat
This paper examines the weak form EMH regarding to the china’s stock markets and the role of WTO accession in the market efficiency. We consider A share and B share and composite index traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange using daily data for 6 indexes for the period from the earliest available data to 2008/03/14. We assume WTO accession plays a positive role in the Ch
In this thesis I explore the conceptual relationships between Parody, the body and space in via the writer Gail Simone’s version of the comic book heroine Wonder Woman. I develop a critical re-imag(e)ination of performativity, space and the body in contemporary mass culture via Gail Simone’s Wonder Woman. As the title suggests the thesis also elaborate on sexuality understood as a phantasmatic scr
No-regret options generate net social and/or economic benefits at any climate conditions, including the present time. They are often determined as the ‘key to moving forward despite uncertainty’ This study investigate the level of recognition of no-regret adaptation strategies in the climate change policy framework in Thailand as well as to examine the approaches to raise the priority of no-regret
Metan är en effektiv växthusgas som har stor betydelse för det globala klimatet. Metanemissioner från våtmarker med underliggande permafrost anses bidra väsentligt till dynamiken som styr koncentrationen av metan i atmosfären på de nordliga breddgraderna. Under nedfrysningen av marken hösten 2007 uppmättes ett stort utsläpp av metan vid en mätstation på nordöstra Grönland. Mängden metan motsvaradeMethane is an effective greenhouse gas of vital importance to global climate. Methane emissions from permafrost dominated peatlands contribute significantly to the dynamics of the high-latitude atmospheric methane concentration. During the freezing period of autumn 2007 a large methane emission peak was recorded at a peatland in northeast Greenland. The integral of this abrupt peak was equivalent
Issue of study: Today, in an information-driven economy, it is more important than ever to be innovative. Developing new ways to create and deliver value is the main method of competition in the business world. Although the picture differs widely from the industrial age, the principals used to manage these companies and employees are same as a century ago. Paying people will just make them do what

This thesis investigates how cooperative membership impacts on the well-being of the individual. The case of the umbrella cooperative El Ceibo, operating in Bolivia, is investigated. Organizations such as the UN, the World Bank, and the ILO have high hopes for agricultural cooperatives as partners in the struggle for rural development. However, there is a lack of empirical studies investigating th
Organising knowledge in a corporate environment : a case study at the development departments of Ecophon AB The purpose of this master's thesis is to investigate how three development departments of a technical firm could organise their collection of documents and information resources to improve their management of information. Three sets of questions have been posed: 1) How does the target
Chapter 1 defines the aim of the project and gives a general orientation about ground heat extractors. In chapter 2 physical processes that could be expected to be involved in the heat transport around a ground heat exchanger are discussed. It is shown from a literature study what amount of moisture transport due to thermal gradients there could be expected in a ground heat exchanger. The conclusi
China's accession to the WTO was perceived as the West integrating the East into the international economy with market economy reforming the planned economy. The major actors, the United States (US) and the Euorpean Union (EU), with similar economic structures and ideologies were expected to cooperate and bargain the best offers from China. However, while the US adopted a confrontational appro
This paper is a critique of an article in the Swedish magazine Filosofisk Tidskrift (Philosophical Magazine), in which professor Per Bauhn maintains that there is something wrong with having a group perspective in moral and political matters. In this article Bauhn makes three conclusions. The first one is that you violate Hume's law if you draw the conclusion that something is an oppression on
In this essay I examine how in seven different congregations that belong to the Church of Sweden the preparatory office is formulated in ways that differ from the form that is prescribed in the current service-book of the Church of Sweden. My purpose is to examine how and why the congregations have chosen these alternative preparatory offices. This I have tried to find out by reading the written i
The mass production of integrated circuits for digital electronics has made CMOS technology the most frequently used IC process today. Thanks to the large production volume, CMOS has increasingly become the most cost efficient technology of choice, and the fast development of small, high speed CMOS devices has made the technology feasible for many RF applications. However, as the transistor featur

The question arises whether there is a potential for val
The purpose of this paper is to deliver a clearer picture regarding the possible effects of the in-store TV screens on consumers’ impulse purchase decision and how factors such as the gender and generation can influence the consumers’ behavior towards this digital signage. Therefore this objective academic paper will contribute to bring discernment and relevant material for future studies through
Quantication of cardiovascular flow and blood volumes are useful tools in diagnosing cardiovascular disease such as congenital heart defects and different kinds of valve leakage. Medical imaging techniques enables non-invasive analysis of anatomy and physiology. In order to perform flow quantification from medical image sequences, the boundaries of the vessels of interest are usually delineated ma
Purpose: The purpose is to explore a potential adoption of RFID technology in Spanish oranges producers´ outbound flow of the grey RFID-tagged plastic pallets that are delivered to Swedish wholesalers. The exploration will be focus on aspects regarding RFID technology, like level of knowledge and awareness, the willingness to invest on it, the attitude of the companies regarding the adoption, the
