Sialinsyra är en kolhydrat som finns i och på nästan alla däggdjursceller och fyller många funktioner. En viktig funktion är att agera som kommunikatör mellan celler. Många virus och bakterier använder sig av sialinsyra för att hitta rätt cell att infektera medan andra använder sialinsyra som en mantel för att gömma sig för immunförsvaret. Detta kan användas som ett verktyg för att utveckla mediciSialic acids are nine-carbon carbohydrates that are present and essential in nearly all mammalian cells. Sialic acids have many functions such as molecular recognition, cell adhesion, and markers for pathogens. Some pathogens can take advantage of mammalian sialic acids and disguise themselves as host cells in a phenomenon that is called pathogenic mimicry. By doing this, the bacteria and virus in

Bacteria-eating viruses and their prey: an eternal war The antibiotic resistance problem: what if bacterial viruses were the solution? Nowadays, we hear more and more dreadful stories about nasty bacteria becoming resistant to our best antibiotics. Researchers are therefore spending much time trying to think of alternatives, one of which could be the use of bacteriophages -literally meaning bact

Många av oss sitter nog hemma på kammaren och funderar på hur vi kan bidra till en hållbar utveckling. Vi hör återkommande om de klimathot vi står inför och matas med uppgifter om det ansvar politiker, branscher och individer bär i frågan. Samtidigt är det många som uppfattar att samhället inte agerar helhjärtat. Kanske för att många trots uppmaningar inte vet hur? Med hjälp av teorin nudging, vilThe purpose of this study was to analyze how Retuna Återbruksgalleria by using Nudging, a behavioural theory, could operate as an environmental educator and attain a sustainable consumer which together could result in competitiveness on the market. Four different nudging tools was analyzed; simplification and framing of information, changes in the physical environment, the default option and the u

The thermal energy generated from the spallation process in the ESS facility must be cooled by cooling systems in order to ensure safe operation of the facility. It is of interest to understand what operating conditions of the cooling systems will ensure this safety for both stationary conditions and transient events. A part of the water cooling system in ESS was modeled in Dymola with the aid of

Charities play an essential role in Irish society. People benefit from support in health and social services, from social housing to specific health related organisations. It is important for charities to be able to invest in digital strategies which can support them in spreading the word of their cause, in raising awareness, in fundraising, and in recruiting talent. Importantly, digital strategie

Today's rate and speed of disruption are more significant than ever, compelling firms to find innovative ways to meet ever-changing market demands. Aside from innovation in products and services, incumbent firms have been urged to create and offer new values by innovating their business models to meet these demands. Since minor changes to business models have proven insufficient for generating

Protonstrålning används för att generera neutroner på ESS; en effektiv metod som kommer ge ESS världsledande prestanda, men som medför utmaningar. Den högenergetiska protonstrålen kan inte ses med blotta ögat och kan potentiellt skada instrument, vilket leder till att övervaka protonstrålen blir svårt, men kritiskt. Lösningen är ett självlysande material som skapar en bild av var protonstrålen träSpallation sources such as European Spallation Source (ESS) produces neutrons by bombarding high-energy protons onto the target wheel. To determine the location of the proton beam a Proton Beam Imaging (PBI) system will be installed. The PBI system at ESS relies on the properties of a luminescent coating that is sprayed onto the target wheel and the proton beam window. In this study, luminescent m

The aim of this study has been to examine if, and if so how, teachers in grade 1-3 in Swedish elementary schools are educated in preventing boy’s violence against girls. The methods used for finding this information has been interviews, a questionnaire and a study of the curriculum for the teacher education. The study furthermore was based on theories around social control and hegemonic masculinit

Metod: Studien är utförd med en kvantitativ metod genom en deduktiv ansats. Ramverk: Studien grundar sig på tidigare forskning samt agent, stakeholder- och shareholder teorierna kopplade till ägarstrukturer o

The Swedish website Lexbase was launched the year of 2014, by the publisher Jonas Häger. They market themselves as a database with public documents from Swedish courts for the general public. Through their search engine, Lexbase offer private persons to find private and legal persons who have been facing legal proceedings since 2008. The aim of this study is to examine how Lexbase, as a private bo

This paper examines different authors and their reasons as to why they use pseudonyms. With the help of theories like Paratexts, Thresholds of Interpretation (1997) by Gérard Genette and Konvergenskulturen (2012) by Henry Jenkins, the essay provides an insight into why authors choose to use pseudonyms as well as publishers’ marketing strategies for this. To gain a better understanding of the world

Men's violence against women is a major global problem. Pornography often depicts humiliation and violence against women. Moreover, it becomes problematic to work for an equal society when children have free access to pornography online. Therefore, the aim of the study is to investigate how employees in Swedish healthcare and aid organizations perceive the relationship between online pornograp

The number of fixed-installation resource-constrained devices, such as Internet of Things devices, has been growing rapidly in the past years. One challenge of accommodating these large numbers of connected devices is the need to power them all. In this thesis, we investigate ways to reduce the power consumption of the door controller in an existing physical access control system, without compromi

The aim of this essay is to study the lack of regulation on privately run sheltered housing in Sweden from two different points of view. The first group is the general public opinion and the second group is employees and volunteers from women’s shelters. The relevance of this study is based on the assumptions from the effects of pandemic’s restrictions that violence against women is increasing and

Management, due to its interdependence with many contingent factors of the world, is a concept in continuous evolution. One of the factors that drive this evolution is the workforce, which is also constantly changing. However, despite the importance of considering the expectations of the workforce towards management, more attention has to be paid to this factor in the discussion on management. The

När hjärtat slutar slå och inte pumpar blod längre, kallas det för hjärtstopp. Det finns olika orsaker som leder till hjärtstopp så som underliggande hjärtsjukdomar eller ventrikelflimmer. Utan behandling dör patienter som har drabbats av hjärtstopp och även med behandling leder hjärtstopp ofta till död eller neurologiska problem. Målet med detta arbete är att dela in hjärtstoppspatienter i olikIn this thesis, it is analysed if cardiac arrest patients can be grouped into similar clusters based on different underlying conditions and clinical variables and if there is a difference between clusters in either mortality or neurological outcome as measured by the Cerebral Performance Categories (CPC) scale. The two data sets both contain a targeted temperature management variable which indicat
