Members of the order Haemosporida are protist parasites that infect mammals, reptiles and birds. This group includes the causal agents of malaria, Plasmodium parasites, the genera Leucocytozoon and Fallisia, as well as the species rich genus Haemoproteus with its two subgenera Haemoproteus and Parahaemoproteus. Some species of Haemoproteus cause severe disease in avian hosts, and these parasites d
The Long-tailed Duck Clangula hyemalis is the main offshore wintering seaduckspecies in the Baltic region, although numbers have declined steeply since the early 1990s. The reasons for the decline are not well understood and information about habitat choice is scarce. Blue Mussels Mytilus edulis are the main food source for Longtailed Ducks in the southern Baltic Sea and here we have used both mod
Background Secundum atrial septal defect (ASD2) is one of the most common cardiac malformations diagnosed in adult life. Catheter closure has made treatment possible even in patients of high age. However, published outcome data for elderly patients is limited. The aim of this study was to report, on a national basis, the long-term outcome of ASD2 catheter closure in the elderly. Material and resul
The U antigen (MNS5) is one of 49 antigens belonging to the MNS blood group system (ISBT002) carried on glycophorins A (GPA) and B (GPB). U is present on the red blood cells in almost all Europeans and Asians but absent in approximately 1.0% of Black Africans. U negativity coincides with negativity for S (MNS3) and s (MNS4) on GPB, thus be called S-s-U-, and is thought to arise from homozygous del
In the era of Internet of Things, software systems need to interact with many physical entities and cope with new requirements at runtime. Self-Adaptive systems aim to tackle those challenges, often representing their context with a runtime model enabling better reasoning capabilities. However, those models quickly grow in size and need to be updated frequently with small changes due to a high num
Somatic rearrangements contribute to the mutagenized landscape of cancer genomes. Here, we systematically interrogated rearrangements in 560 breast cancers by using a piecewise constant fitting approach. We identified 33 hotspots of large (>100 kb) tandem duplications, a mutational signature associated with homologous-recombination-repair deficiency. Notably, these tandem-duplication hotspots were
The research aims to language analysis of the Arab critical speech, which dealt with the study of narrative, in the theoretical and practical side, using pragmatic mechanisms, including holdings of terms, and effective tools in linguistic studies. It’s the starting point for many of the process of modern literary criticism. The study has taken two ways: first, the side of theoretical through summ
Carbon paste electrodes were modified with a nitrofluorenone derivative, 2,4,7-trinitro-9-fluorenone, adsorbed on zirconium phosphate (ZP). After electrochemical reduction of the fluorenone derivative, it turns into a very efficient mediator for electrocatalytic NADH oxidation, with a formal potential of about +250 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. The electrochemistry and the electrocatalytic properties of the med
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
Examensarbetet behandlar fenomenet momentreduktion. Reduktionen uppstår då en spontvägg deformeras och krafterna i jorden omfördelas. I arbetet har fyra olika spontdimensioneringsmetoder behandlats som på olika sätt leder till ett dimensionerande moment. Tre av dessa är handberäkningar och den fjärde är en jämförande beräkning som görs i finita elementprogrammet PLAXIS. Två av handberäkningsmetThe thesis deals with the phenomenon of moment reduction. The reduction occurs when a sheet pile wall deforms and forces of the soil are redistributed. Four different methods of designing sheet pile walls are treated that in different ways lead to a design moment. Three out of these design methods are made by hand calculations and the fourth is a comparative assessment carried out in the finite
The overall purpose of this essay is to evaluate Swedish implementation strategies for the Sustainable Development Goals by comparing it to a norm of a democratic process. Goal number 17 – A global partnership - calls for an expansion of Public-Private parnerships as the new key implementation strategy. In practice, this means that state actors, civil society and enterprises are now viewed as more
The present study concerns the implementation of a voluntary job rotation program for individual and organizational development. In order to increase participation in job rotation programs, it is crucial to understand the phenomenon of non-participation. Accordingly, the present study aims to (a) identify reasons for non-participation from an employee perspective and (b) uncover possible hindrance
There are many unknowns regarding the interaction between fungi and their surroundings. In this project, we took a closer look at hyperspectral images of several fungal strains on two different substrates. The project mainly consisted of developing a code for the classification of fungal strains and the extraction of information from it. The classifier used hyperspectral images in infrared of four
This study has been conducted in cooperation with the County Administrative Board of Halland and the results will be used as input for the Board in the upcoming revision of their currently working energy- and climate strategy. The study shows the importance of goal formulation in goal-oriented documents, in this case energy- and climate strategies belonging to the different County Administrative B
Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har länge särbehandlats i den svenska rättsordningen. I nästan alla rättssystem ingår ett krav på tillräknelighet som brottsförutsättning. Detta krav togs bort i den svenska straffrätten i samband med brottsbalkens ikraftträdande 1965. Att vara tillräknelig innebär att man har en viss förmåga att förstå vad man gör, och att man kan kontrollera sitt handlande. Endast Mentally disturbed offenders have for a long time been treated differently in the Swedish criminal law. In nearly all legal systems there is a requirement of accountability for criminal liability. In order to be accountable you have to possess the ability to understand your actions and to be able to control them. Only then you can be punished for a criminal act. The requirement was removed from th
This thesis investigates the concept of market-based development through the DANIDA Market Development Partnerships programme (DMDP), a challenge fund by the Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA). Market-based development is an emerging development approach that introduces the market in development work in order to achieve business goals and development objectives simultaneously, which
For our master's thesis we have worked with a company called Uniti to help them establish a system for communicating with their autonomous vehicle during a public demonstration. This included handling a video feed from the vehicle as well as assuring low latency for said feed. For the purposes of this thesis the targeted latency was below 200ms. In order to construct a solution which met our
