Proteinupprening är ett viktigt och grundläggande steg för att kunna använda proteiner som läkemedel. Att utveckla en effektiv uppreningsprocess är viktigt utifrån såväl ett tidsperspektiv; som kostnads- och miljöperspektiv och målet med processen är att få ut så mycket rent protein som möjligt, utan att proteinets aktivitet reduceras. I det här projektet har en uppreningsprocess för proteas-X utvThe epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor involved in cell proliferation. It is frequently overregulated in cancer cells, making it an attractive target for cancer therapeutics. One possible pharmaceutical is protease-X; a protein involved in the cleavage of the EGFR and thus, a way to regulate the receptor’s activity and lead the cancer cells to apoptosis. The aim of this thesis h

This thesis presents a numerical study of the beyond mean field extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a two-component self-bound Bose-Einstein condensate, supplemented by analytical work. We extend the quasi-two-dimensional system's mean field particle-particle contact interaction by quantum fluctuations (LHY-correction). We investigate the formation of self-bound droplets without external co

Several studies indicate an increase of alcohol consumption amongst older people. The aim of this study was therefore to examine nursing staff’s approach towards older people’s alcohol consumption in nursing homes. What attitude and experiences do nursing staff have concerning older people’s alcohol consumption? How do they relate to the older people’s self-determination regarding alcohol consumpt

Denna studie syftar till att ta reda på hur nyexaminerade musiklärare ser på sin identitet som musiklärare och huruvida de också identifierar sig som musiker. Genom en kvalitativ intervjustudie har tre informanter svarat på frågor kring valet att bli musiklärare, musiklärarutbildningen och deras tidiga yrkessocialisation. Vägen mot ett yrkesliv som musiklärare förefaller inte för informanterna somThis study aims to find out how newly graduated music teachers identify themselves as music teachers and whether they also identify themselves as musicians. Through a qualitative interview study, three informants have answered questions about the decision of becoming a music teacher. The path towards a professional life as a music teacher does not seem as a straight line. It is described as a comb

Thirty years after the fall of communism and fifteen years after Poland joined the European Union, there have been more steps backwards than forwards in regards to gender and sexual equality. From the very beginning, this has been a cause of tension between Poland and the EU. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how the conflicting constructs of sexual citizenship in Poland and Europe affect t

Tanzania as a tourist destination has traditionally had a nature-oriented focus for the past years. However, cultural heritage is becoming more and more viewed as a source for tourist attractions which raises questions on global and local impact on commodification of culture, and what sort of cultural activities are chosen to attract international and national tourists. This thesis focuses on the

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka samt belysa hur andra generationens invandrare upplever sin identitet i ett mångkulturellt samhälle. Fem andra generationens invandrare intervjuades genom kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer för att berätta hur de upplevde sin identitet. Intervjuerna grundades på tre huvudområden som berörde de externa faktorerna såsom familjens och samhällets påverka

När diskrepansen mellan vad människor säger och vad de gör uppmärksammas, väcks kognitiv dissonans som kan motivera beteendeförändring. Ett sätt att uppmärksamma denna diskrepans är genom hyckleriparadigmet, som är en tvåstegs sekventiell metod för att inducera kognitiv dissonans som visat sig ha potential att påverka beteende i miljövänlig riktning. Denna studie fokuserar på hyckleriparadigmets f

In 2019 it was estimated that 50 million tonnes of e-waste was produced of which only 20% was officially recycled which has made the e-waste problem one of the most pressing environmental issues. As the current approaches to deal with the accelerating e-waste issue seemingly is falling short, the importance of utilizing alternative measures can no longer go unrecognized. Cloud computing has the ca

The aim of this master’s thesis is to explore how literature constructs the identity of the library as mysterious, and further to show what possible consequences this view of the library could have. Questions posed in the study are: How is the library as place articulated by literary representations? What possible consequences could come from reproducing this discourse? My theory and method is d

Children has become an increasingly important target group for the Swedish cultural politics where museums play an important role. This focus on children has urged the museums to create different activities, such as exhibitions, specially modeled for the target group. This thesis studies the possibilities for learning in three exhibitions that in different ways have been adjusted for children and

The number of drug prescriptions has increased dramatically over the past 20 years, benzodiazepine prescriptions being a prime example with an increase of 67 percent between 1996 and 2013. Benzodiazepines are usually prescribed for anxiety; a disease marijuana has been proven to have a small yet observed effect on. Simultaneously with the increase in benzodiazepine prescriptions, mental health has

In today’s global politics, the Arctic is assuming an increasingly important geoeconomic and geopolitical role among Arctic and non-Arctic states, as the retreating ice cover reveals new economic potentials such as the development of natural resources (Käpylä & Mikkola, 2016). China is among the interested non-Arctic states that aim to increase their influence in Arctic affairs and to get in o

There is mounting evidence that cognitive skills such as numeracy and literacy are causal drivers of economic growth. Improving such skills is therefore an essential concern for policymakers. This thesis examines whether instruction time can raise students' cognitive skills. By using cross-sectional data on several countries participating in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science

Background: Increasing dependencies between Swedish societal sectors and the critical infrastructures upon which they depend as well as institutional fragmentation within the societal sectors, have caused a need to map the critical infrastructures in Sweden. The descriptive research aiming to map and understand the Swedish pharmaceuticals supply chain is to a high degree missing today. A potential

Bakgrund: Generell anestesi utförs dagligen, trots detta kan inte full medvetslöshet garanteras. Mer är hälften av de patienter som ska genomgå generell anestesi är rädda för att vakna och uppleva awareness under operationen. Awareness kan leda till psykiska konsekvenser för patienten som långvarigt posttraumatiskt stressyndrom, depression och ångest. Syfte: Beskriva faktorer som påverkar uppkomst
