Looking At Tumour Suppressor Genes Of A Tumour Resistant Species Salamanders like Pleurodeles waltl are tailed amphibians capable of regenerating complex structures like entire organs and limbs. Therefore, they are great models to study the process of regeneration. Regeneration involves cells of the injured tissue going through a lot of growth, division, and migration to reconstruct the original

Kunskap om hur tilltalade i svenska rättegångar rationaliserar och förklarar sina handlingar har i begränsad mån identifierats i tidigare forskning på området neutraliseringstekniker. Komparativa studier på ämnet i svensk kontext har inte identifierats, vilket resulterar i begränsad kunskap om hur rationalisering av brottsliga handlingar ter sig mellan brottstyper i Sverige. En adekvat förståelse

Title: Improving charging scheduling of public transport electric buses Authors: Anna Hassler & Franz Bamberg Supervisor: Johan Marklund, Lund University Background: This thesis focuses on a Swedish BTO that operates EB fleets.

However, with increased popularity and its vagueness around what regeneration entails, there is a need to grasp the concept better. The researchers differentiate regeneration from sustainability, highlighting that sustainability focuses on taking responsibility, while regeneration aims to create addi

This study exploits the introduction of a new prioritization criteria for food security interventions to estimate the marginal impact of such programs. Findings indicate that, in municipalities assigned to receive nutrition policies more intensely, the number of children receiving micronutrient supplements was higher. In addition, being prioritized was associated with a very small improvement in n

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur skattad nivå i Communication Function Classification System (CFCS) förändras mellan tre skattningstillfällen (2018-2020-2022) för barn med cerebral pares i åldrarna 0–18 år. Syftet var även att undersöka hur mycket av variansen i förändringen av CFCS-nivå som kunde förklaras av ålder och användandet av tal som kommunikationssätt. Metod: Data inhämtadAim: The aim of this study was to investigate how Classification of Communicative Functioning System (CFCS) level changed between three measurements (2018-2020-2022) for children with cerebral palsy aged 0 to 18 years. The aim was also to investigate how the variance in change of CFCS level could be explained by age and use of speech as communication method. Method: Data were obtained using the S

I takt med den digitala utvecklingen inom hälso- och sjukvården står Region Skåne inför en betydande förändring, nämligen implementeringen av ett nytt digitalt vårdsystem, Skånes digitala vårdsystem (SDV), planerat till 2025. Denna kvalitativa studie strävar efter att belysa vårdpersonalens attityd till de nuvarande journalsystemen och undersöka deras potential att påverka införandet av SDV. Genom

I takt med att den förväntade livslängden ökar ställs nya krav på arbetsmarknaden. För få personer ska försörja vår äldre befolkning och för att lösa detta måste vi arbeta till en högre ålder. Chefer har en avgörande roll och därför har denna studie syftat till att undersöka chefers attityder mot sina äldre arbetstagare, samt hur de ser på möjligheter till ett förlängt arbetsliv. Syftet var även aAs life expectancy increases, new demands are placed on the labor market. There are too few people to support our aging population, and to address this issue, we need to work until an older age. Managers play a crucial role, which is why this study aimed to examine managers' attitudes toward their older employees and their views on opportunities for extended working lives. The aim was also to

This paper examines the impact of EU integration on Lithuania's direction of trade flows.

The findings show that EU membership has positively influenced Lithuania's trade fl

This study examines the long-term post-acquisition performance of acquirers, both serial and single, in Sweden within a time frame spanning from 2000 to 2022. The post-acquisition performance is evaluated using a long-term event study, employing the Buy-and-Hold Abnormal Returns (BHAR) methodology. The results of the 1-year BHAR analysis indicate that, on average, Swedish acquirers exhibit abnorma

In this Master thesis project the factors affecting flame extension under flat and curved ceilings have been investigated. An experimental campaign was carried out in Lund University’s Fire Lab using a propane gas burner and heptane pool fire in different positions and heat release rates within the setups. A flame recognition Python script was developed to identify the flame length in the videos t

This bachelor thesis aims to examine the impact of income inequality on economic growth and assess whether the relationship differs between Europe and Latin America. Many studies have been performed to investigate the relationship between inequality and growth, and these have yielded a variation of results. As some research finds income inequality to positively impact growth, while others find the

I Sverige har skolpersonal ingen skyldighet att polisanmäla elever som de misstänker har begått ett brott förutom när de beslagtar illegala preparat eller vapen. Regeringen har våren 2023 tillsatt en utredning som ska undersöka möjligheterna att införa en anmälningsskyldighe

When the property- and building industry moves towards new solutions targeting reduced climate impact, this puts pressure on the building owners and companies to calculate the climate impact of buildings. It may seem easy, but there are various methods and guidelines to navigate around. This study addressed the issue of which emission factors for district heating and electricity are used in climat
