G protein kopplade receptorer (GPCRs) är en grupp proteiner som sitter tvärsigenom cellernas membran med delar på både utsidan och insidan. Som namnet förtäljer så kopplar dessa receptorer till en annan sorts proteiner, G proteiner, och dessa hittas på insidan av cellen. Tillsammans översätter dom extracellulära signaler till intracellulära vilket till slut resulterar i specifika fysiologiska effeG protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is the largest superfamily of membrane proteins and convert a multitude of extracellular signals and turn them into intracellular responses by binding and activating just a few G proteins. The mechanism for activation is very conserved and is likely to be similar for all GPCRs and G proteins, but how a vast amount of GPCRs selectively couple to specific G protei

This paper investigates the possibility to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) that, by capturing temporal features in weather data, can estimate the expected amount of wheat produced during any year, at any geographical location. The aim is to establish whether a CNN can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - as responses to changes in CO2, temperature, water, and nitr

Departing from the high level of health issues that exists among LGBTIQ youth in Sweden, this study examines how pedagogues in preschools in Malmö implement LGBTIQ issues based on queer theory, intersectionality and critical race studies. The research takes a qualitative approach and uses material from interviews and participatory observations conducted at two preschools in Malmö. The material is

Bakgrund: Omvårdnad är avgörande för patienters upplevelser av en akutmottagning. Brister i omvårdnaden kan leda till onödigt lidande för patienter. Hendersons teori utgår från människans behov av omvårdnad, vilket är relevant utifrån patienters erfarenheter av att besöka en akutmottagning. Syfte: Att beskriva patienters erfarenhet av att vårdas på en akutmottagning. Metod: Litteraturstudie med in

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur verksamma svensklärare på gymnasieskolans yrkesprogram arbetar med läsning och skönlitteratur. För att uppnå syftet och besvara frågeställningarna genomfördes kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra svensklärare där de fick beskriva och diskutera hur de betraktar skönlitteraturens roll, samt vilka val de gör gällande läsning av skönlitteratur oc

Syfte: Nike lanserade år 2018 en kampanj vid namnet Dream Crazy som skapade kontroversiella reaktioner i sociala medier samt en hög grad av mediaexponering. Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att ta reda på vad svenska studenter med åldern 19-24 tänker kring den politiska aspekten av den här kampanjen, och hur mycket det påverkar deras köpbeslut. Metod: Materialet samlades in genom djupgående pePurpose: In 2018 Nike launched an advertisement campaign called “Dream Crazy” that provoked controversial reactions in social media and large coverage in the media. This qualitative study aims to find out what Swedish students aged 19-24 think of specifically the political aspect of that campaign, and how much it matters and influences their decision making when choosing products. Methodology: Dat

This thesis aims to look into how some social workers in Sweden view their work with youths having sex for compensation with regards to the feminist ideas that the law on buying sex expresses. Swedish studies have shown that most of the youths having sex for compensation started when they were 13-14 years old. Previous literature and studies state that youths having sex for compensation often have

Idag byggs allt fler hus i trä tack vare de många fördelarna trä har som byggnadsmaterial. Dels är miljöpåverkan mycket mindre i jämförelse med andra material som betong,dels är det ett väldigt lätt byggnadsmaterial. Den stora nackdelen med träkonstruktioner är dock dess akustiska egenskaper. Det är ofta svårt att uppnå de ljud krav som ställs på byggnader när man väljer en träkonstruktion, vilketConstructing buildings with wood brings many advantages, especially regarding environmental aspects, which has brought an up-rise in these types of structures. However, one of the main issues regarding wooden structures is its tendency to perform poorly acoustically in lower frequencies compared to heavier structures. This often leads to unwanted noise levels which could be avoided in earlier desi

Syfte: Bidra till fördjupade kunskaper om hur företag kan använda sig av semiotiska resurser i bilder för att positionera sig som hållbara Metod: Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ fallstudie med semiotisk metod Teoretiska perspektiv: Uppsatsen utgår från teorier om hållbarhet, semiotik samt visuell kommunikation Empiri: Studien granskar bilder från de tre fallorganisationerna Ikea, Swedfund och Ete

Every year in Sweden approximately 50 people die due to work related injuries. The development of non deadly injuries at work, however, has been varying. Between 1980 and 2008 it's been decreasing while, during the last 10 years, the number of injuries has instead increased. It is of interest to see why the number of occupational injuries has been increasing as well as understanding if there e

Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om 2017 års lagkrav gällande upprättandet av hållbarhetsredovisning haft en påverkan på svenska energibolag. Detta med mer specifik utgångspunkt i de sociala aspekterna och huruvida lagkravet påverkat framställningen av dessa. Teoretiska perspektiv: Uppsatsens teoretiska ramverk omfattar Legitimitetsteorin, Intressentteorin, Institutionell teori sPurpose: The purpose of this report is to investigate if the change in legal regulation in 2017 regarding the use of sustainability reporting, have had an impact among parties within the energy sector. The report will examine if the regulation has caused a change regarding the structure of the social aspects and explain what these connections may occur from. Theoretical perspectives: The theoret

What is a home in the wild? What do we need for our hike? What can we learn from those who have travelled these lands for hundreds of years before us? This project is an exploration of how to create contemporary hiking shelters, through the process of experimentation and learning form nomadic highland architecture. This project seeks to capture the fluidity of the Swedish highlands and it wants t

This master thesis was performed at the company BAE Systems Hägglunds AB, Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. Hägglunds has its main market within the defense industry and is the developers and manufacturers of the combat vehicle CV90 and the terrain vehicle BvS10. Since a few years back, Hägglunds has investigated the potential to apply its technologies from these vehicles to a product for the civil market. Th

The main focus of this Master Thesis is the development and evaluation of an actuation system that controls a variable compressor for the automotive industry. This variation allows the compressor to produce different boost pressures on demand. Before the development process could start a theoretical analysis of the different forces acting on the system were conducted. These analyses consisted of a

Due to their outstanding mechanical properties, fibre reinforced materials allow a substantial reduction of mass for modern vehicles, thus making energy-efficient mobility viable. However, the cost for material and manufacturing of parts made out of carbon exceed the allowable costs for a broad market. New preforming technologies offer a potential to manufacture composite parts in a highly automat

This report is the product of my master thesis in technical design with a focus on product development. The project was done in co-operation with Wayne, who produces and sells fuel dispensers and are a part of General Electrics, at their Malmö office in Sweden. For their latest line of fuel dispensers, Helix, they were in need of a system for describing different configurations for the barrier, an

This master thesis covers the process followed in the re-design and optimization of a structural part in a supercar. The part reviewed is the Rear Cross Frame currently in production of all Koenigsegg’s supercars. In the new revision of the part, the material is Carbon Fiber. The version currently in production is made of steel. The shape has been modified to fit the Carbon Fiber manufacturing req
