Does the host derived peptide really effect the silent killer? Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading infectious cause of death in the world via the manipulative agent Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Despite the decrease in deaths over the following years and available drug treatments, the dieses still rank the top of the list and remains a global pandemic. Constant rise of resistant M. tuberculosis
HUR MAN FÄRGAR IN OCH RÄKNAR NERVCELLER I det här projektet försökte vi färga in olika beståndsdelar av nervceller för att se ifall de överlappar eller inte. En av dessa beståndsdelar är en receptor vid namnet Sphingosin-1-fosfat receptor och den har 5 olika typer som förekommer lite här och där i människokroppen men framförallt så förekommer den i det centrala nervsystemet, vilket vi är intresse
En liten molekyl med en stor uppgift Alla människor ser olika ut, vi har olika hårfärg, är olika långa och har olika hudfärg. Har du någonsin undrat vad det är som gör dig till dig? Svaret är till stor del dina gener. Vi består av celler och varje cell i din kropp har alla dina gener som behövs för att skapa dig. Man kan likna en gen vid ett recept som cellen använder för att veta hur den ska tiHematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are of great importance for the body and can be used to treat diseases such as leukemia or autoimmune conditions. To be able to use HSCs more extensively in therapies we need to know more about how they are being regulated, one way to do this is by knocking down genes with RNA interference. In this project we test a new micro RNA (miRNA), called miR30E, to investiga
Everyday items release of nanoplastics A well-known problem of today’s society is the large plastic pollutions on both land and in the oceans. The macroplastics (5mm to 20 μm) and the microplastics (smaller than 5 mm.) are well studied, and it is generally known that these types of particles are harmful for animals if ingested or entangled. Even though it is generally thought that plastics only d
The impact of degraded nanosized plastics Large amounts of plastics are released into the environment worldwide every year. An estimated 4 to 12 million metric tons (Mt) of plastic waste, generated on land, entered our oceans in 2010 alone. Of the 6300 Mt of plastic, generated in 2015, around 79% of which was collected in the natural environment. The enormous amounts of this release have been ide
Purpose: The main purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of how communication messages can be created more effectively in order to increase the intention to participate in VCO schemes. Furthermore, this study seeks to investigate if and how VCO and public transportation as part of a low carbon footprint vacation could be communicated. Method: A quantitative method with an expe
This essay is about individuals from Malmo who speaks suburb Swedish and the meaning of them feeling at home in their everyday life. It’s about the meaning of suburb Swedish in the process of how different norms of identity comes to matter and shape how bodies move through, expand in and inhabit different places in the Urban Geography of Malmo City. It’s about the intra-action between bodies, room
Kan samma preparat behandla både en irriterad tarm och MS? När många tänker på bakterier hör de något dåligt och kan nog bli förskräckta av att veta att vi alla lever med upp till 100 biljoner bakterier i magen, vilket kan motsvara 1–2 kg! Men faktum är, att de här bakterierna är enormt viktiga för oss. De hjälper oss bryta ner det vi äter, håller miljön i tarmen stabil, hjälper till att träna
Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka möjligheterna kring att autor-matisera konstruktionsberäknngar i ett tidigt skede. Automatiseringensker med hjälp av det parametriska verktyget Grasshopper som är ettinsticksprogram till Rhino.

The script will be able to analysedifferent shear walls position in plane and calculate the horizintal forcesand moments which depends on the amou
Mat är något som alla människor har gemensamt. Det spelar ingen roll om en ser på mat som ett sätt att ge kroppen mer energi eller som ett konstverk att uppleva; det är den del av alla människors liv. I min uppsats ämnar jag att utforska mat i dystopisk ungdomslitteratur med Hungerspelen (2008) av Suzanne Collins som exempel. Mitt förhållningssätt till materialet kommer att vara en djupdykning i H
Maintenance of telomeres in the absence of telomerase The specialized DNA-protein caps that prevent the loss of genes at the ends of the DNA strands are called telomeres. The telomeres consist of several short-repeated DNA sequences which need to be protected to prevent telomere shortening. Telomere shortening has been connected to the aging process of cells. Some cells can reverse this shorteni
Karl Staaffs park är en liten triangelformad yta som ligger på Norrmalm i Stockholm. Denna plats lämpar sig dock inte för att vara park. Ytan är liten, solen når inte fram och det passerar väldigt mycket trafik tätt inpå. I det direkta närområdet ligger det flera fina parker och grönområden. Resultatet blir att Karl Staaffs park står tom året runt. Parken skapar idag tillsammans med Erikbergsplan
This study makes an attempt to theorize drag king practices in Sweden from three theoretical perspectives: performance, politics and play. Drag kings in the Nordic countries hasn’t got much exposure in society, so the study tries to analyse their practices through interviews and field work. The field work has been conducted at two different drag shows and a drag salon. The drag salon is a meeting
The aim with this Master thesis work is to design, build and test a small size, light weight and low power consumption harmonic radar system that will be installed in a flying drone for the purpose of tracking and localizing tagged Bogong moths near their aestivation caves and crevices in Australia during summer. A FMCW harmonic radar is proposed, it comprises a radar transmitter, receiver and a s
The increasing focus on the environmental classifications and energy certification systems as well as LCA in the building industry nowadays has raised the interest in the life cycle perspective of buildings among countries, municipalities, builders and researchers. This thesis shows how Sweden is dealing with this topic comparing to the Netherlands and Turkey. By presenting a detailed literature
Late to the Party—Phenological Mismatches in Passerines Spring arrives earlier in the city than it does in the countryside. The buildings trap heat, and the lack of green spaces means there aren’t enough plants to cool down the air through evaporation. This is known as the Urban Heat-Island effect (UHI). In Malmö the temperature increase is modest—in fact, it’s just about 1 °C warmer than in Skr
Human hand gestures present a novel way of interacting with electronic devices. A millimeter-wave radar setup utilizing a pulsed Resonant-Tunneling Diode signal generator in the 60 GHz ISM band is used to measure 12 different hand gestures. The data is used to train and validate Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). The measurement setup utilizes a real time sampling oscilloscope and down-mixing o
