This thesis deals with three topics related to the Ads/CFT correspondence. In Paper I, solutions describing the geometry of fractional D1-branes of Type IIB string theory are presented. The running coupling constant is computed on the gauge theory side. Paper II uses the idea that the anomalous dimension of a gauge theory operator can be interpreted as an eigenvalue of a spin chain Hamiltonian.

This thesis is a summary of four papers concerning various aspects on the transition metal catalysed hydrosilylation of 1,3-dienes. The hydrosilylation reaction is formally an addition of a hydrosilane to an unsaturated system and depending on the reaction conditions, control of stereo-, regio-, and chemo-selectivity can be achieved. Optically active heterobidentate P,N ligands were synthesised f

Defence lawyers, in their practise, from time to time have to resolve various difficult dilemmas in connection with the client relationship, such as accepting repugnant cases or acting on questionable instructions from the client: dilemmas, which involve “hard questions” of guilt and innocence, truth and perjury. Many of these ethi-cal problems have never been subjected to interpretation in Swedis

Membrane proteins are crucial components of the cell and are involved in many biological processes. Recombinant overexpression systems together with different purification methods are necessary to obtain large amounts of purified receptor for biophysical and functional studies. More knowledge about membrane proteins, and especially G-protein coupled receptors, would facilitate the development of i

This thesis addresses: (1) studies of direct and mediated electron transfer and kinetics of peroxidases on electrodes and the development of amperometric peroxidase-based biosenors, (2) electrochemical and kinetic studies of NADH oxidation at mediator modified electrodes. The direct and mediated electron transfer of horseradish and tobacco peroxidase were investigated on graphite electrodes by us

The question of what justifies empirical beliefs is traditionally answered either by reference to basic empirical beliefs that receive justification from something outside of the epistemic subject’s conceptual sphere or by reference to justification through coherence, in the sense that empirical beliefs are justified through their semantic relations to other beliefs. Typical of both kinds of answe

Vilka fördelar har gruppundervisning i slagverk? Detta är frågan som genomsyrar hela studien. Studien syftar till att lyfta fram aktiva slagverkspedagogers syn på gruppundervisning inom musik- och kulturskola Studien bygger på kvalitativ forskning som metod och fyra aktiva slagverkspedagoger har intervjuats. För att ge studien mer trovärdighet har informanternas tankar jämförts med tidigare forskn

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur aprilskämt i SVT har förändrats mellan 1997 och 2019 och identifiera anledningar till varför förändringar har skett. Analysen är således uppdelad i två avdelningar. I den första avdelningen görs en innehållsanalys med hjälp av Entmans gestaltningsmetod, på fem utvalda aprilskämt som har sänts av lokalredaktioner på SVT. Analysen utgår ifrån Harcup

Forskning visar att hbtqi-personer har en sämre psykisk hälsa än övriga befolkningen. Arbetsplatsen är en kontext där hbtqi-personer ofta utsätts för diskriminering och upplever minoritetsstress. Samtidigt kan arbetsplatsen utgöra en viktig del av människors liv och ha en skyddande effekt mot psykisk ohälsa. Främjande av en god arbetsmiljö kan därför vara en viktig faktor för hbtqi-personers hälsaResearch shows that people within the LGBTQI-community have poorer mental health compared to the general population. The workplace is an area where LGBTQI-people are at risk of being exposed to discrimination and minority stress. The workplace can, however, also be seen as an integral part of people’s lives and act as a protective factor against mental health issues. The promotion of a healthy wor
