Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, an airborne bacterium that impacts the lungs, affecting one third of the global population, and was declared a global health emergency by the WHO. Multi-drug resistant variations of the pathogen diminish decades of drug discovery, development, and research. This complex and multi-factorial challenge calls for new approaches in anti-microbial dr

Scholarly literature has demonstrated that hybridity transforms both legacy and new media, but that this change is not even. We treat social media platforms as arenas of remediation, where users share and add their own context to information produced by both media subtypes and compare social media conversations about migration in six European languages that include links to either traditional or n

As the world changes, so do perceptions of luxury. Consequently, the luxury industry’s efforts to capture the consumer’s imagination also change. Traditionally, the visual language that is used to market perfumes builds on a heterosexual logic; by objectifying and subordinating the feminine subject and portraying ‘her’ as desirable to an internalized male gaze. However, if you want the best money

Mass-produced consumer packages are everyday objects that almost go unnoticed. However, by claiming things such as the essence of femininity or masculinity, they affect us and are co-creators of our reality. Based on visual ethnography, this article traces the representation of gender on mass-produced packaging during a time when male privilege is being challenged and female visual objectification

Reality-TV har uppstått som en prominent genre med en engagerad och stor publik. Denna studie syftar till att utforska motivationsfaktorer bakom individers konsumtion av reality-TV och att även undersöka potentiella skillnader i motivationsfaktorer jämfört med fiktiva program. En enkät utformades med utgångspunkt i de fem motivationskonstrukten i the Uses and Gratifications Theory (Blumler & KReality TV has emerged as a prominent genre with a dedicated and sizable audience. This study aims to explore the motivations behind individuals' consumption of reality TV and investigate potential differences in motivations compared to fictional programs. A questionnaire was created based on the five motivational constructs of the Uses and Gratifications Theory (Blumler & Katz, 1974): aff

Denna studie undersöker förhållandet mellan den mörka triadens personlighetsdrag —Machiavellianism, narcissism och psykopati—och attityder till stalkning. Studien var en tvärsnittsundersökning med N=165 deltagare som fyllde i skalor som mätte både mörka triaden-egenskaper och deras attityder till stalkning. Att förstå de psykologiska och sociala grunderna som påverkar sådana attityder är avgörandeThis study examines the relationship between the Dark Triad personality traits—Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—and attitudes toward stalking. Utilising a cross-sectional survey design, the research involved N=165 participants who completed scales measuring both Dark Triad traits and their attitudes towards stalking. Understanding the psychological and social foundations that influenc

Denna studie har undersökt hur hög- och lågavlönade skiljer sig i personlighet och intelligens. Studien har besvarat frågeställningen “Vad finns det för samband mellan specifika personlighetsdrag, intelligens och hur ekonomiskt framgångsrik någon blir?”. Undersökningen utgjordes av en kvantitativ metod med enkäter som grund för datainsamlingen. Enkäten inkluderade ett IPIP-NEO-30 personlighetstestThe aim of this study was to examine how high paid and low paid individuals differ when it comes to personality and intelligence. The study has answered the following research question; “What is the relationship between specific personality traits, intelligence and how financially successful someone becomes?”. The study consisted of a quantitative method with questionnaires as the basis for the da

Väldigt lite forskning har gjorts om TikTok-användning och uppmärksamhetsförmåga. Denna experimentella studie syftade till att undersöka om TikTok-användning är relaterad till uppmärksamhet mätt både genom självskattning och genom ett prestationsbaserat test, samt om ett kortsiktigt orsakssamband kunde påvisas. Den syftade även till att undersöka sambandet mellan självskattning och prestationstestNot much research has been published on the subject of TikTok use and attentional abilities. This experimental study aimed to investigate whether TikTok use is related to attention, measured with both self-assessment and a performance-based test, as well as whether a short-term causal relationship could be found. The study also aimed to examine the relationship between self-assessment and the perf

Acute ischemic stroke is one of the major causes of death and disability worldwide. New neuroprotective strategies have emerged, with the postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD-95) identified as a promising target. PSD-95 plays a crucial role in controlling downstream NMDA receptors and neuronal death. Consequently, therapies targeting PSD-95 could mitigate stroke damage while promoting brain protec

α-Galactosidases from Aspergillus nidulans (AglC) and Penicillium subrubescens (PsGal36-2527) are exo-acting enzymes that can be found in the Glycoside Hydrolase (GH) 36 phylogenetic cluster with eukaryotic α-galactosidases. In utilizing enzymes for industrial applications, finding enzymes with a broad range of substrate specificities and high catalytic efficiencies is quite challenging. It has be

Sjuksköterskan har en central roll i att hjälpa barn hantera känslor som rädsla och ångest. Syfte: Att belysa hur sjuksköterskan kan hjälpa barn mellan 6-12 år att hantera rädsla och ångest vid kontakt med hälso- och sjukvården. Design: De

Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) are aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas often diagnosed at advanced stages in elderly patients. Current tools for patient stratification do not sufficiently identify patient groups resistant to treatment. The presence of CD11c+ cells has previously been associated with pro-inflammatory tumour-immune microenvironment (TIME), while CD

Rennet coagulation ability of milk is of utmost importance in cheese manufacturing industry since it is directly related to cheese quality and yield, then translated into economic benefit. This study examined the rennet coagulation ability and composition of milk from individual Swedish Red (SR) cows, the second most common dairy breed in Sweden. Additionally, the study explored how the presence o

En medvetenhet och högre krav på naturliga ingredienser hos konsumenter får företag att försöka minska på e-nummer och tillsatser i sina produkter. För att ändra befintliga recept och ta bort tillsatser krävs det undersökningar och tester. I denna studie undersöks möjligheten att ta bort ett av två konserveringsmedel i en befintlig produkt utan att riskera den mikrobiella säkerheten. Det är mång

Under andra världskriget gavs skolan en viktig pedagogisk uppgift för att stärka den ”andliga” beredskapen. Kunskaper ansågs förvisso som viktiga, men av större betydelse var en fostran till självständighet, handlingskraft, fosterlandskärlek och samfundsanda. För att stärka försvarsviljan skulle ungdomar också ges förståelse för vad det innebar att vara medborgare i ett fritt och demokratiskt samh

Very few records written by black Caribbean women in the 1800s exist in the archives. An exception to this are three letters written by Ann M. Beaudhuy, born on St Croix around 1812. She came from humble circumstances and worked for many years as a nanny for a white Danish family, the Rothes. The head of the family, Louis Rothe, held a high position in the colonial administration. However, when he
