Sialic acids are monosaccharides commonly located towards the end of the glycans in the human cell membrane. Therefore, sialic acids are in direct contact with the surroundings of the cell and are important antigens involved in the identification of human cells for the immune system. Some pathogenic bacteria have developed mechanisms for absorbing this sugar, and can use it to glycosylate their li
Sub-meter level spatial resolution remote sensing products are essential for Precision Agriculture (PA) applications. Recent development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with imaging sensors provides opportunity to generate sub-meter level, timely, and cloud free remote sensing products. This study is a preliminarily assessment of a multi-rotor UAV with consumer grade optical camera and five spect
This study aims to evaluate the management of nature reserves in the county of Halland in Sweden, focusing on reserves in which the main form of vegetation is deciduous hardwood forests. The purpose is to evaluate and compare planned management according to nature reserve management plans with current field conditions in order to identify discrepancies and their potential causes, based on a case s
With increasing competition and noise level in the third sector, Germany’s non-profit organisations have to start considering alternative ways of how to be heard by their target audiences and how to raise funds for their projects. Additionally, with technological developments and the rise of Web 2.0 this becomes particularly challenging. Strategic planning of communication and public relations act
The actual concept of food security focuses on four food security dimensions: food availability, food access, food utilization and food stability of which eight indicators were identified for this study.

Food infant composite meals are complex-based products for infants and toddlers (6-36 months of age). There are a wide variety of infant food dishes available in the market based on different technologies with different flavors, tastes and preferences. During the last 40 years the number of obese children have increased and at the same time there is an increase in diabetes in areas where toddlers
Kunskap om markens uppbyggnad är viktig både för konstruktions och prospekteringsändamål. Geofysiska undersökningsmetoder kan användas för att skapa en överblick att basera vidare undersökningar på. I den här studien används likströms resistivitet och inducerad polarisation, IP. Datan är inverterad med en Cole-Cole modell i programmet ÅrhusInv och använd för att karakterisera berggrunden vid ÖnnesFor both construction and exploration purposes, knowledge of the subsurface is important. Geophysical exploration methods can be used to acquire an overview of an area on which further investigations can be based. In this study direct current resistivity and induced polarization data, inverted with a Cole-Cole model in program AarhusInv, are used to characterize the bedrock at Önneslöv in Scania,
The purpose of this thesis is to determine how electric vehicle trucks can meet the needs of customers in the urban building and construction sector. This sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and also creates noise and other disturbances in urban environments. There are multiple benefits that come with electric trucks, which can address these issues if they are used
This thesis explores the activism of AUB students for social and political change promoting secularism on campus and in the Lebanese society and politics. It draws from 17 interviews, a focus group and observations during four months of fieldwork. It looks into the ways how members of the AUB Secular Club employ the notion of secularism, and how diversity in the AUB campus facilitates the collecti
Sexuella övergrepp utgör en mycket allvarlig integritetskränkning. För att motarbeta dessa övergrepp krävs ett starkt och välutvecklat straffrättsligt skydd. Som en följd härav har våldtäktslagstiftningen, allt sedan brottsbalkens (BrB) ikraftträdande år 1965, utvecklats till att bli alltmer offercentrerad, inkluderande och avancerad. Det är uppenbart att det rör sig om sena reformer, men icke desSexual abuses constitute a very serious integrity violation. To counter these abuses requires a strong and well-developed criminal law. As a consequence, ever since the Penal Code (PC) entered into force in 1965, the rape legislation has developed to become ever more victim-centered, inclusive and advanced. It is obvious it’s about late reforms, but nonetheless clearly that the judicial system has
Den här uppsatsen undersöker om en förändring har skett av representation och mångfald i VeckoRevyns annonser mellan år 2000 och 2016. Analysen är huvudsakligen baserad på feministisk teori och dagordningsteorin, och utgår från ett intersektionellt perspektiv. Med bakgrund i medialiseringen och digitaliseringens intåg samt det ökade krav på etik inom näringslivet där ökat krav på etisk marknadsför
The aim of the essay is to analyse who is represented in urban space in three vision and action documents published by Lunds municipality. By using Norman Faircloughs critical discourse analysis as method the discourses in the material is located. From there the vision and actions are analysed through the theoretical framework Torsten Hägerstrands theory of time geography constrains and David Harv
Förenta Nationernas fredsbevarande operationer har under nästan två decennier besvärats av anklagelser om sexuellt utnyttjande av och sexuella övergrepp på civilbefolkningar. Flera rapporter visar inte bara att organisationens fredsbevarande styrkor begår dessa brott mot just de människor de fått i uppdrag att beskydda, utan också att de undgår ansvar och straff. Denna uppsats undersöker och utvärUnited Nations peacekeeping operations have, for the better part of two decades, been plagued by allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of local civilian populations. Several reports indicate not only that peacekeepers exploit and abuse the very people they were sent to protect, but also that these crimes routinely go unpunished. This thesis examines and evaluates the different methods of ho
Säkerhetspolisen har idag möjlighet att enligt lag (1991:572) om särskild utlänningskontroll ansöka om utvisning av en utlänning som anses hota rikets säkerhet. Dessa ärenden kallas för kvalificerade säkerhetsärenden. Utvisningsförfarandet enligt denna särskilda lag har dock kritiserats för brister i rättssäkerheten, bland annat till följd av den begränsade partsinsynen och den avvikande instansorThe Swedish Security Service has the possibility to apply for expulsion of a foreigner who is considered a threat to the national security in accordance with The Special Controls of Aliens Act (1991:572). These cases are called high-level security cases. However, the expulsion procedure under this special law has been criticized for the lack of legal security. The purpose of this paper has been to
Unga lagöverträdare som har uppnått straffmyndighetsåldern kan ställas ansvariga för brott. Är den begångna brottsligheten av allvarligt slag och de lagstadgade förutsättningarna uppfyllda, kan påföljden bestämmas till fängelse eller sluten ungdomsvård. Allvarlig brottslighet som leder till frihetsberövande påföljd föregås ofta av ett annat frihetsberövande, vilket för minderåriga kan innebära häkYoung offenders of the age of 15 and above are criminally responsible, and can therefore be prosecuted for committing a crime. The convicted offender can, if the committed crime is serious and other legal requirements are met, be sentenced to a term of imprisonment or to institutional care of young persons. In these situations, it is fairly usual that the offender has been deprived of his or her l
Abstract This study aims to examine how Helsingborg City handles the balance between creating a strong city brand and at the same time being responsive, listen to and involve the city’s residents.

Are our cities prepared for the growing and rapid urbanization expected for the coming years? How do the new social, economic and environmental challenges affect the urban context, specifically informal settlements? How can we rethink sustainable urban design in vulnerable areas? To tackle these questions, this study will have a closer look at Port Elizabeth, a coastal city in South Africa, to und
Malmö city has decided to change their routines regarding aid to housing. The routines now contain a division between who is entitled to get aid from social services and who is not, that is between people in social homelessness and people in structural homelessness. Prior to the change, this division did not exist. The aim of this study was therefore to explore how the governing documents legitimi
