Plasmider är korta cirkulära DNA-molekyler, som kan hittas i de flesta bakterier. Detta projekt handlar om att skapa och testa ett nytt sätt att identifiera plasmider, samt specifika gener på dessa. Principen bygger på att kombinera en tidigare metod kallad “Competitive binding-based optical DNA mapping”, och infärgning av en längre DNA-sekvens med fluoroscerande (självlysande) molekyler, för att Antibiotic resistance is an ever growing problem, and is considered one of the major challenges of modern medicine. In order to avoid further development and spread of multiresistance among bacteria, the use of antibiotics should be more restrictive, and more tailored to individual cases of infection. To facilitate more directed treatments, it is crucial to be able to quickly and reliably identify

Robotar kan programmeras för att självmant röra sig runt i världen. I takt med att kameror blir både billigare och bättre är det vanligt att robotar använder kameror för att se sin omvärld.As cameras become cheaper and better, using them as sensors have become increasingly more common. This is especially true in robotics and for autonomous robot navigation. This thesis suggests a method where inputs from a single camera are used for making a robot self driving. The robot is assumed to move along planar surfaces, common in indoor environments. The method is based on matching image f

The master thesis seeks to develop a control system for the Crazyflie 2.0 unmanned aerial vehicle to enable aggressive and autonomous flight. For this purpose, different rigid-body models are considered, differing primarily in their parametrisation of rotation. The property of differential flatness is explored and several means of parametrising trajectories in at output space are implemented. A ne

The current study presents a first step in investigating the relationship between organizational identification and its proposed antecedents: construed external image and perceived work-based social support, in a completely virtual setting. Additionally, the study examines work-based social support as a moderating variable of the relationship between construed external image and organizational ide

Daylight has beneficial psychological and health effects that range from enhanced alertness, mood improvements, increased productivity, and well-being. Recently, the interest in non-visual (also called biological) effect of light has increased substantially. Yet, a limited number of research has investigated the non-visual effects of light in Nordic climates. The aim of this thesis is to assess th

Anti-immigration movements are currently enjoying electoral success around the world, despite attempts by incumbent parties to mitigate their influence on voters. This seeming paradox is the main focus of this paper, aiming to investigate whether attempts censor and ostracize antiimmigration attitudes actually mitigate their influence or not. Two studies were conducted: Study 1 investigated whethe

The study is a first attempt to academically investigate the case of Filipina domestic workers in São Paulo. In brief, it aims to outline these migrants’ life and working conditions, their insertion and function within class relations and in regard to a gendered and racialized work regime. The overarching theoretical framework is social reproduction feminism that originated from the 1960’s sociali

Konsumtionen i världen ökar och det gör även halten av växthusgaser i atmosfären. Detta kräver högre resurseffektivitet och inom både EU och Sverige finns styrmedel som förespråkar ökad materialåtervinning. Trots detta saknas ofta källsorteringsmöjligheter i offentliga miljöer. I denna studie undersöks möjligheterna till ökad materialåtervinning i offentliga miljöer genom att fokusera på ett införThe global consumption is increasing and so are the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This requires a higher resource efficiency and legislation within the EU and Sweden is promoting material recycling to a greater degree than incineration of waste. In spite of this recycling stations can rarely be found in public environments. In this study the possibilities and effects of an increase

A thermochromic ink is defined as an ink that exhibits colour changes depending on temperature. Thermochromic inks used in printing generally consist of an encapsulated three part system which includes a dye that changes colour, a compound that acts as a colour developer and a solvent. Due to the properties of the dye, the inks are always colourless above a certain temperature and coloured below a

Köttkonsumtionen orsakar utsläpp av växthusgaser som bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen och kan även medföra oönskade hälsoeffekter. I framställningen analyseras hur vi kan nå en samhällsekonomiskt effektiv konsumtionsnivå. Med utgångspunkt i de klassiska nationalekonomiska teorierna presenteras de ekonomiska problem som köttkonsumtionen idag ger upphov till. På grund av förekomsten av marknadsMeat consumption causes greenhouse gas emissions which contributes to the global warming and can also lead to undesired health effects. This presentation analyzes how we can reach an economically efficient level of meat consumption. The economic problems that meat consumption raises today, based on classic economic theories, will be presented in this thesis. In the presence of market failures and

Den 3 november 2016 överlämnade utredningen sitt betänkande Översyn av skattereglerna för delägare i fåmansföretag (SOU2016:75) till Finansdepartement. Utredningens uppdrag bestod dels i att se över fördelningsreglerna i det så kallade 3:12- systemet, dels beskattningen i ägarskiften. I direktivet betonade uppdragsgivaren behovet av en reglering som förhindrar inkomstomvandling, samtidigt som intrOn 3 November 2016 the Committee submitted its report on tax for owners of closely held companies (Swedish Government Official Reports series 2016: 75) to the Finance Ministry. The Committee's mission partly consisted of reviewing the allocation rules in the so called 3: 12- system and taxation in ownership. The directive stressed client need for a regulation that prevents income conversion, w

I denna uppsats kommer det skatterättsliga neutralitetsperspektivet hos fastighetstransaktioner att diskuteras och särskilt fokus kommer att ligga på stämpelskatten. De fastighetstransaktioner som tas upp är överlåtelse, bolagsförvärv och fastighetsbildning. Det moderna svenska skattesystemet bygger på nationalekonomiska teorier och de senaste 30 åren har fokus legat på att få ett effektivt skattIn this essay, the tax neutrality perspective of property transactions will be discussed and a special focus will be put on stamp duty. The real estate transactions which are covered in the essay are transfers, acquisitions and “fastighetsbildning”. The modern Swedish tax system is based on economic theories and in the last 30 years the focus has been put on getting an efficient tax system, wher

This master thesis is about improvement, optimization and further development of the sensory feedback in a prosthetic hand previously investigated at the department of Biomedical Engineering in Lund. The first approach will be to investigate and further see into the need of a sensory feedback in hand prostheses. There were several reports that showed that the lack of sensory feedback in hand prost

Type 2 diabetes is becoming an increasingly more common disease in the world, with a strong correlation to increasing obesity. Previous studies have shown that obese patients have an increased level of inflammatory mediators believed to be one of the underlying causes for diabetes development. One part of the immune system, contributing to these mediators, is the complement system. Investigating t

Abstract This thesis seeks to examine how attachment theory can contribute to identifying implicit images of God in Psalms 88 and 91 in the Psalter. The purpose is also to see whether or not these specific images of God can be understood as harmful or beneficial for the worshipper and if this approach can deepen the psychological understanding of the image of God in the Psalms. The starting poi

En aktuell debatt i svensk politik är hushållens växande skulder, framför allt i storstadsområdena. Förslag har lagts fram från Finansinspektionen och Sveriges Riksbank om amorteringskrav, skuldkvotstak och sänkt ränteavdrag. Detta för att hämma en eventuellt fortsatt ökning av hushållens skulder. Den svenska hushållssektorns ökande skuldsättning tillskrivs främst de lägre kostnaderna för bolån soA current topic in Swedish politics is the increasing household debt, particularly in the metropolitan areas. The Swedish Central Bank and the Financial Supervisory Authority have made proposals for several policies, to inhibit a continued growth of the household debt. These policies include introducing amortization requirements, a debt-to-income ratio limit and reduced home mortgage interest dedu

The chemical resistance is an important property for elastomers, especially for gaskets used in industrial applications related to food processing and packaging. Three common elastomers, namely silicone, FKM (fluorocarbon) and EPDM (hydrocarbon with carbon-carbon double bonds), were aged in harsh chemicals used in specific applications in Tetra Pak filling machines. Gaskets of these materials were
