Do bacteria handle stress better than us? Do bacteria have stress too? Are they able to deal with stress? If so, how do bacteria deal with stress? Certainly, bacteria experience stress too. Bacterial stress can be chemical (caused by toxic, harmful compounds e.g. antibiotics), or physical (caused by heat or harsh environment). Bacteria are pretty smart to handle stress. They have developed specif
Användning av den maltosnegativa jäststammen Saccharomycodes ludwigii för tillverkning av alkoholfri öl, metodutveckling. I detta projekt har en metod utvecklats som ger mikrobryggerier möjligheten att tillverka alkoholfri öl. I takt med att fler blir medvetna om alkoholens negativa effekter, ökar intresset för alkoholfri öl, även hos väldigt små bryggeriet, så kallade mikrobryggerier. Då det kräNon-alcoholic beer is gaining more attention in the brewing industry due to the negative health and economic consequences of alcohol consumption, even smaller microbreweries are showing interest in the production of non-alcoholic beer. Producing non-alcoholic beer has been restricted to the large breweries due to the special equipment needed and the high investment costs, but by using biological m
The purpose of this paper was to develop a better understanding of the discursive, cognitive and emotional experience of symbolic management attempts of strategic change and its enactment in the organizational practice from both a managerial and a non-managerial perspective. To realize this research purpose, we conducted an explorative, ethnographically-inspired qualitative case study in a single
Apoptosis is a vital physiological defence mechanism against tumorigenesis and critical for embryogenesis, tissue homeostasis, and discharging damaged or infected cells. Protein members of the B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) family regulates the cellular commitment to cell survival or programmed cell death by intrinsic (mitochondrial) apoptosis. In response to intracellular stresses, this apoptotic bala
This master thesis report describes a product development process with the aim to create a construction which ensures an easier installation by replacing screws with other alternative assembly methods. The project has been performed at Axis Communications AB, which is the market leading company in network cameras. A previous project called Rocky provided the idea of an excenter lock compressing an
Bakgrund: Det finns en brist på studier som belyser omvårdnad inom ambulanssjukvården. Fokus ligger på den akuta medicinska behandlingen och omvårdnadsåtgärder prioriteras inte i ett akut skede. För att kunna utveckla ambulanssjukvård är det viktigt att inte bortse från omvårdnadsbehov i det akuta skedet. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att belysa ambulanssjuksköterskors perspektiv på om
Under projektets gång användes gen-editeringsmetoden CRISPR/Cas9 för att förhindra uttrycket av en gen som är associerad med en familjär form av ALS i två stamcellslinjer som hade blivit differentierade till hjärnceller. Genom genuttrycksanalys visades att CRISPR/Cas9 hade lyckats orsaka en fyrfaldig minskning av SOD1-uttryck i båda cellinjer. Amyotrofisk lateralskleros, förkortat ALS är en neuromAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neuromuscular disease characterized by the degeneration and death of both upper and lower motor neurons for which there is no cure currently available. The degeneration of motor neurons leads to the inability to carry out voluntary movement and death usually occurs 3-5 years after disease onset by respiratory failure. The most common cause of familial ALS i
Swedish working class literature has since its origins as rebellious poems shared among working class citizens become an acclaimed literary movement. During the last century working class literature changed drastically depending on factors such as reception and literary trends, most notably the trend of autobiographic novels presenting the authors own experiences of class based injustice during “t

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the target firm’s abnormal returns in two aspects; short-term and long-term after a bid gets terminated for different categorizations and payment methods. The approach is the buy-and hold abnormal returns presented by Barber & Lyon (1997). The approach of control firms are used in the context of BHAR as recommended by Safieddine & Titman (1999). Thi
The alt-right is a fairly recent addition to the pantheon of political ideologies. Its rise to prominence is seen by many as the driving force behind Donald Trump’s presidency. The youth of the ideology has also created a natural relationship between it and the fields of new media and cyberculture. In alt-right media, the topic of Sweden is frequently recurring, and the theme is most often of a na
Biological tissues are strongly light-scattering and absorbing media that limit the depth of optical-based imaging. Even though, optical imaging provides good optical contrast information of biological content that is beneficial for clinical diagnostics application. Ultrasound was used to assist the optical-based imaging technique in overcoming the poor spatial resolution and shallow imaging depth
