Light Protection in Plants: Characterisation of Violaxanthin de-epoxidase

Växter behöver ljus. Ljuset omvandlas genom fotosyntesen till kemisk energi som kan lagras i växten. Mer ljus ger således mer energi men bara upp till en viss gräns. När växten inte längre kan hantera mängden ljus som den utsätts för kommer flaskhalsar i processen orsaka att högenergetiska tillstånd blir mer långlivade. Dessa reaktiva ämnen kan då orsaka skada på närliggande komponenter, vilket kaPlants and algae need light to drive the photosynthetic machinery. An excess of light will, however, result in damage to the photosynthetic machinery and to the rest of the organism. The surplus of energy, when exposed to light stress is converted into less harmful heat energy through a process called non-photochemical quenching. This quenching is partly dependent on the xanthophyll pool located i

Socialt medborgarskap och möjligheten till ett självständigt liv : - ekonomiskt bistånd för kvinnor som har lämnat en våldsam partner

Försörjningen är avgörande för kvinnors möjligheter att lämna en våldsam partner, och många hänvisas då till de offentliga försörjningssystemen. Syftet i artikeln är att förstå socialtjänstens handläggning av dessa kvinnor. Studien har ett medborgarskapsperspektiv där kvinnornas beskrivningar analyseras. Detta är en av de första svenska studierna på området.

Clinical experiments for Huntington's disease : Recommendations to medical researchers regarding how to inform potential participants

Huntington's disease (HD) is a severe, genetic brain disorder that causes great suffering and leads to an early death. The medical research team in the project Treatments of the Future at Lund University aims to develop a new molecular gene therapeutic method that will give the possibility to cure the disease. The authors’, social- and cultural scientists, mission is to develop recommendations for

Worlds of active inclusion at local level : a comparative analysis

This chapter compares active inclusion strategies in five European cities with high problem pressure. The focus is on minimum income protection with particular attention paid to social assistance as well as to activation policies and the role of the third-sector in providing support and services. The local active inclusion strategies studied diverge substantially regarding the level of market-orie

A 1-h Combination Algorithm Allows Fast Rule-Out and Rule-In of Major Adverse Cardiac Events

Background A 1-h algorithm based on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) testing at presentation and again 1 h thereafter has been shown to accurately rule out acute myocardial infarction. Objectives The goal of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the 1-h algorithm when supplemented with patient history and an electrocardiogram (ECG) (the extended algorithm) for predicti

Quantitative analysis of mass spectrometry proteomics data : Software for improved life science

The rapid advances in life science, including the sequencing of the human genome and numerous other techiques, has given an extraordinary ability to aquire data on biological systems and human disease. Even so, drug development costs are higher than ever, while the rate of new approved treatments is historically low. A potential explanation to this discrepancy might be the difficulty of understand

Purchasing in Construction Companies

A significant part of the cost of a construction project, up to 90%, consists of purchased goods and services. Suppliers thereby have a large impact on the quality, price and time of projects. Purchasing management is therefore important for the outcome of a project. The aim of research covered by this thesis is to describe and analyse purchasing management and its interrelation with the supplier

‘Why not make films for New York?’ : The interaction between cultural, political and commercial perspectives in Swedish Film Policy 1963-2013

During the last two decades or so, film support, film policy and the public financing of audiovisual production in Scandinavia and particularly Sweden have undergone extensive transformation. In diverse ways, these changes can be seen as responses to globalization, to increased sub-national regional independence as well as to the emerging idea of nurturing ‘creative industries’ taking hold. They m

Nonlinguistic vocalizations from online amateur videos for emotion research : A validated corpus

This study introduces a corpus of 260 naturalistic human nonlinguistic vocalizations representing nine emotions: amusement, anger, disgust, effort, fear, joy, pain, pleasure, and sadness. The recognition accuracy in a rating task varied greatly per emotion, from 70% for amusement, pleasure, fear, and sadness. In contrast, the raters’ linguistic–cultural group had no effect on recognition accuracy:
