Background: While simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation (SSCF) is considered to be a promising process for bioconversion of lignocellulosic materials to ethanol, there are still relatively little demo-plant data and operating experiences reported in the literature. In the current work, we designed a SSCF process and scaled up from lab to demo scale reaching 4% (w/v) ethanol using xylos
Background and purpose - Treatment of Dupuytren's contracture (DC) with collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH) consists of injection followed by finger manipulation. We used a modified method, injecting a higher dose than recommended on the label into several parts of the cord, which allows treatment of multiple joint contractures in 1 session and may increase efficacy. We studied the occurren
Signalling through gap junctions contributes to control insulin secretion and, thus, blood glucose levels. Gap junctions of the insulin-producing β-cells are made of connexin 36 (Cx36), which is encoded by the GJD2 gene. Cx36-null mice feature alterations mimicking those observed in type 2 diabetes (T2D). GJD2 is also expressed in neurons, which share a number of common features with pancreatic β-

There is a debate in Japan which focuses on the lifestyle choices of young Japanese. The elder generation think youth are being selfish and not making a sufficient contribution to society in that they are not conforming to traditional societal expectations. However, it is not so easy to contribute to society when youth have been hit particularly hard by unemployment, changing recruitment practice
Youth unemployement in Sweden is at an all-time high, a fifth of all university and college students live in poverty and the number of young on welfare is increasing. This study attempts to answer the question of how youth deprivation has been made possible as a consequence of political action, focusing on youth unemployment. I critically examine the role of the Swedish government, the Swedish La
Customers and the stakeholders are putting increased pressure on the companies to take responsibility for environmental issues in their supply chain. This may not be very easy for the companies, especially if the suppliers causing pollution are beyond company's direct business connections. This study tries to understand this phenomenon by means of a case study in the fashion industry. A Swedis
One of the basic principles of Swedish law is that everyone is entitled to have his/her claims determined by a court and that the judgment should be given after a hearing. The main rule is that the plaintiff can claim whatever he/she wants, even if it seems absurd. This is a right also given by the European Convention of the human rights article 6:1, which says that everyone is entitled to a publi

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka den historiska upprinnelsen till statschefens rättsliga immunitet som går att återfinna i 5 kap 8 § RF. Motsvarande immunitet går att hitta i nästan alla moderna konstitutionella monarkier, och i förarbetena som ledde upp till bestämmelsen finner man att ett av motiven bakom att ha kvar den är att den är nära förbunden med monarkins begrepp. Genom att göraThe aim of this thesis is to examine the historical origin of the head of state's legal immunity, which can be found in Chapter 5, Section 8 in the Swedish constitution. This immunity can be found in almost all modern constitutional monarchies, and legislative history and government inquiries have stated that one of the motives was that it was in close association with the concept of monarchy.

The use of solar cells as a solution for different energy harvesting applications has seen a significant growth during the last few years. With recent advances in the power conversion efficiency and manufacturability of organic photovoltaic cells these systems can be made even cheaper and more available for consumers, opening up new ways for solar technology to be implemented into products. This p
Bumblebee abundance and diversity have been declining in the last few decades. Habitat change, mainly due to intensified agricultural practices, has been pointed out as the main driver in this process. Being central place foragers bumblebees are highly dependent on the landscape surrounding the nest and the resources available there. According to the optimal foraging theory bumblebee individuals i
The field of labour history has come to increasingly include the study of gender, a social relation that traditionally has been made invisible. At the same time the past decades of theoretical debate within gender studies and history have meant the marginalisation of class studies, at the benefit of other social relations. I wish to contribute to the field of research on the Swedish labour union m
Bakgrund: Utbrändhet har blivit ett populärt ämne som det forskas allt mer på. Internationellt har många studier om läkares utbrändhet gjorts och de har visat att läkare har en hög nivå av utbrändhet. Dessa studier samt andra studier inom stressforskningen har visat på att det finns många olika orsaker som kan leda till stress och utbrändhet. Mycket lite forskning är dock gjord på svenska läkare f
Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda gränsdragningen av ett samtyckes ansvarsbefriande verkan vid misshandelsfall av normalgraden i sexuella sammanhang. Dessa fall rör sig i gränslandet mellan det straffbara och det straffria. Uppsatsen utreder gränslandet genom att se till hur ett ansvarsbefriande samtycke är uppbyggt. Det konstateras att det krävs ett giltigt samtycke och att själva gärningen inteThe purpose of this bachelor thesis is to investigate the boundary of a consent exonerating effect on assaults of the normal degree made in a sexual context. Such cases are located at the boundary between the criminal and impunity. The paper investigates the boundary area by looking at how an exonerating consent is constructed. It is noted that there is a need for a valid consent and that the act
Collaboration projects have the last decade become the new working method within the fragmented and specialised Swedish welfare sector. Collaboration aims to prevent people in need of vocational rehabilitation from ending up in between the responsible organisations. In 2004, a permanent organisation that enables local and national agencies to collaborate within vocational collaboration was made po
The low representation of women in almost every legislative form of life is an international con-cern. In reality, very small portion of women representations are seen in the government in pro-portion to their population. Now a day women participation in the parliament is assumed neces-sary in modern democracy because decent number of women representation is noticed as crucial for appropriate gove
Framväxten av elektronisk handel under 1990-talet ansågs av både OECD och EU skapa såväl förutsättningar för stora vinster för företag som stora utmaningar för skattemyndigheterna. Till sin natur är elektronisk handeln global, omedelbar, utan traditionella gränser och genomförs med relativ anonymitet . Dessa aspekter innebär svårigheter för ett traditionellt skattesystem. Enligt sjätte mervärdesskThe emergence of electronic commerce in the 1990's was acknowledged by both the OECD and the EU to bring about prospects of great profits for businesses as well as huge challenges for fiscal authorities. By its very nature, electronic commerce is global, instantaneous, without traditional borders and conducted with relative anonymity. These aspects make it difficult for a traditional tax syste
