The threat of resistant bacteria is an increasing issue that has emphasized the need for therapeutic strategies. One possible drug candidate is the carbohydrate sialic acid, which adorns almost every cell surface on mammalian cells. These so-called glycans (defined as carbohydrate-based polysaccharides) are involved in key cell functions, including cell-to-cell recognition in eukaryotes. Because o

Transient Receptor Potential Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a non-selective cation channel that plays a significant role in pain, itch, and inflammatory conditions, and its activation is mediated by various electrophilic compounds and small molecules like menthol and camphor. Understanding the mechanism of activation and deactivation of TRPA1 is crucial for developing treatments for these conditions. This

Lifestyle modifications could be crucial in preventing and managing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including diet and postprandial glycaemic control. Previous studies on the effects of polar lipids (PLs) on postprandial metabolic responses at Lund University have shown conflicting results. To reconcile these findings and contribute to the existing literature, th

In protein formulation, addition of surfactants is commonly executed to enhance product stability and shelf-life. The reason is that surfactants can protect proteins against surface-induced aggregation. However, the interaction between surfactant and protein depends on the type of surfactant used. Anionic surfactants can unfold proteins and form complexes in equilibrium manner. The complex structu

The project aimed to analyse by liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-MS/HRMS) the extracellular proteins synthesized by Rhodothermus marinus strains DSM 4252T and DSM 16675 growing in medium containing different carbon sources. That is critical to find valuable enzymes for industrial uses in biomass conversion into value-added chemicals. Cells were grown in medium

Fastigheter anses på grund av dess unika egenskaper att vara en av de bästa skattebaserna, och i takt med globaliseringens acceleration blir betydelsen av skatteintäkter från denna skattebas allt större. I Sverige har skatteuttaget från denna skattebas trendvis minskat med åren, något som sticker ut på ett internationell plan. Syftet med rapporten är att jämföra olika fastighetsbeskattningsmodellReal estate is regarded as one of the best tax bases due to its unique characteristics. As globalization accelerates, the importance of this tax base is increasing. In Sweden, the tax revenue from real estate has trended downward over the years, something that stands out internationally. The purpose of this report is to compare different property taxation models for detached single-unit propertie

When a stroke patient visits a physiotherapist for rehabilitation, various tests are often conducted. The results from these tests need to be stored somewhere, and currently, there is no efficient method for doing so. The best available option is an Excel spreadsheet that calculates the results, followed by the physiotherapist having to save the data in another way. This process is time-consuming,

Thesis Purpose: This study examines how parasocial relationships between music artists and fans foster a plethora of different consumer attitudinal outcomes, with the purpose to provide clarity through the shaping of distinct consumer archetypes, while offering in this way practical insights for marketers and industry professionals. The context of K-pop is used to delve deeper into the understandi

Since 2019, Icelanders can self-determine their legal gender. A third “neutral” option was also added. However, formulations in the Act allow only one self-determined change (Act on Gender Autonomy, 2019). Research on self-determination of legal gender has shown how acts can have limited effects since legal change is insufficient in addressing injustice. The separation of medical and legal concern

Enterprise damage implicates damages created by the activity that occurs on the expropriated property, such as noise, view disturbance, psychic immissions etc. Environmental damage implicates the same damage however in question of prop
