Popular science summary: How do bacteria divide? Cell division is an absolute requirement for proliferation of all bacteria and results in the bacterium being split into two by a septum. FtsZ is a protein that plays a key role in bacterial cell division. In this project, one part of the FtsZ protein was investigated with genetic methods to understand how it affects the division process. Previou

The title, “for she loved much”, stems from Luke 7:47. The aim of this essay is to interpret Luke 7:36-50 using the method of narrative criticism, since the structure and rhythm of the episode is similar to the structure of a novel. The purpose is to inquire into the issues of forgiveness by analyzing whether the sinful woman of the city was forgiven before or after approaching Jesus during the di

In this essay I seek to investigate what the laws of Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 are prohibiting and why. I also aim to explain in what way these laws are relevant to the present meaning of homosexuality. Since these laws often are interpreted with explanations such as violation of the creation order, I also exam in what way the Levitical prohibitions might be based on Genesis 1-2. Being a part of

Underbyggd av Habermas Teori om kommunikativa handlingar, analyserar denna artikeln arbetsrättens fundament i allmänhet och lagar och policy från ILO och EU i synnerhet. Målet med artikeln är att: i första hand, belysa skillnader och konflikter mellan telelogiska och kommunikativa handlingar inom fältet arbetsrätt. Vidare att visa hur dessa konflikter manifesteras i diskurser från ILO och EU. SlutDrawing on Jürgen Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action, this article analyses the fundaments of labour law in general and the practices of ILO and the recent jurisprudence of the European Union in particular. The aims of the article are: firstly, to shed light on the discrepancies and conflicts between teleological and communicative actions within the scope of labour law, secondly, to show how

The object of this paper was to explore the perspective of personal treatment in elderly care. We compared the view of personal treatment between nursing staff and service users in elderly care. Our focus was on the theory “ageism” and “inequality of power”. Through a qualitative study with group interviews and separate interviews we collected our data from nursing staff and service users within h

Aims and objectives. This study aimed to describe and identify risk factors associated with hospital-acquired pressure ulcers among adults in an acute care hospital compared with patients with pre-existing pressure ulcers present on admission. A further aim was to identify the preventive measures performed with both groups respectively. Background. Pressure ulcers occur most often in older and imm

The unperturbed neutron brightness of a moderator can be defined from the number of neutrons leaving the surface of a moderator completely surrounded by a reflector. Without openings for beam extraction, it is the maximum brightness that can be theoretically achieved in a moderator. The unperturbed brightness of a cylindrical cold moderator filled with pure para-H-2 was calculated using MCNPX; the

Energy policies in China, the world’s largest energy consumer, are an important factor in shaping the 41 global energy system. While scholars agree that energy security is a major driver of China’s energy 42 policies, there is insufficient understanding of what exactly constitutes China’s energy security from the 43 policy perspective. We apply recent insights from the Global Energy Assessment, pa

Survival of patients with locally advanced head and neck squamous cell cancer(HNSCC)is poor, with an overall survival < 50%, despite diagnostic and therapeutic advances. The identification of prognostic and predictive markers could help optimizing treatment. From 18 patients, six tumour cell lines were established and four were xenografted to nude mice. Proliferation parameters(cell doubling time,

Results are presented of searches for the production of supersymmetric particles decaying into final states with missing transverse momentum and exactly two isolated leptons in root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider. Search strategies requiring lepton pairs with identical-sign or opposite-sign electric charges are described. In a data sample corresponding to an integr

Alkane C-H bond activation by various catalysts and enzymes has attracted considerable attention recently, but many issues are still unanswered. The conversion of ethane to ethanol and ethene by bare [Fe-III=O](+) has been explored using density functional theory and coupled-cluster method comprehensively. Two possible reaction mechanisms are available for the entire reaction, the direct H-abstrac

Background: The aim of this study was to compare maternal labour and birth outcomes between women who gave birth on a birth seat or in any other position for vaginal birth and further, to study the relationship between synthetic oxytocin augmentation and maternal blood loss, in a stratified sample. Methods: A re-analysis of a randomized controlled trial in Sweden. An on-treatment analysis was used

Patch-clamp and capacitance measurements were applied to α-, β- and δ-cells in intact mouse pancreatic islets. The maximum rate of β-cell exocytosis during a depolarization to 0 mV was 14 granules/s,

The efficient generation of isolated attosecond pulses (IAPs), giving access to ultrafast electron dynamics in various systems, is a key challenge in attosecond science. IAPs can be produced by confining the extreme ultraviolet emission generated by an intense laser pulse to a single field half-cycle or, as shown recently, by employing angular streaking methods. Here, we experimentally demonstrate

Previous studies on autobiographical memory have focused on unimodal retrieval cues (i.e., cues pertaining to one modality). However, from an ecological perspective multimodal cues (i.e., cues pertaining to several modalities) are highly important to investigate. In the present study we investigated age distributions and experiential ratings of autobiographical memories retrieved with unimodal and
