This paper demonstrates the potential of asymmetrical flow field flow fractionation coupled with online multi-angle light scattering, differential refractive index and UV detection for the fractionation and analysis of macromolecules in beer regarding their composition, molar mass (M) and relative concentration. The macromolecules in the liquid and foam of two types of beer, light lager and porter

The Shrinking Generator and the Alternating Step Generator are two of the most well known clock-controlled stream ciphers. We consider correlation attacks on these two generators, based on an identified relation to the decoding problem for the deletion channel and the insertion channel, respectively. Several ways of reducing the decoding complexity are proposed and investigated, resulting in “divi

Pattern recognition is an integral part of the innate immune system. The human contact system has been shown to interact with the surface of many bacterial and fungal pathogens, and once activated leads to the generation of antimicrobial peptides and the proinflammatory mediator bradykinin. Here we show that apart from these surfaces also neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) provide a surface tha

In adult mice, the VpreB genes are expressed in bone marrow progenitor (pro-) and precursor (pre-) B cells. As part of the pre-B cell receptor, the proteins are crucial for the proliferation of these cells and consequently normal B lymphocyte development. Using cell lines, we identified a lineage- and developmental-stage-specific VpreB1 enhancer. Here, we analyze its specificity in vivo by generat

Currently in Europe as well as in the United States, an increasing proportion of very old people remain living in their homes despite declines in physical and mental health. Together with the fact that the population of very old people is rapidly increasing (Mathers, Sadana, Salamon, Murray, Lopez, 2001; United Nations Development Programme, 2001), this poses new challenges to societal planning an

BACKGROUND: Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a key drug in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB), including multidrug-resistant TB. Drug susceptibility testing (DST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis against PZA is not included in the World Health Organization's yearly proficiency testing. There is an increasing need to establish quality control of PZA DST. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the performance of PZA DST and to i

Arbetets syfte är att belysa hur en effektiv överlämning av stora projekt från entreprenad till drift och underhåll går till. Syftet är också att undersöka vilka nyckelfaktorer som skapar framgång och motgång i denna fas av projektet Frågeställning i studien är: Hur görs en effektiv överlämning av ett stort projekt? Vilka faktorer skapar framgång tillika motgång för projektets överlämning? Varför The purpose of the study is to illustrate how a efficient handover is done in mega project between the constructional and operational phases. Furthermore the purpose is the study what key factors lead to success and failure throughout the handover. The objective of the study is to answer the following questions: How is an efficient handover done? What factors lead to success and failure in mega pr

Fastän folkrätten ibland kallas den globala rättsordningen, betraktas dess olika discipliner ofta enskilt. Det är därför intressant att undersöka förhållandena mellan disciplinerna, eftersom det är svårt att hävda att folkrätten är ett enskilt rättsområde om de är alltför avlägsna varandra. Syftet med detta examensarbete är därför att ge ett exempel som grund för framtida diskussioner om de inbördAlthough public international law is sometimes referred to as the global legal order, its various disciplines are often considered in isolation. It is therefore interesting to investigate the relationships between the disciplines, because if they are too distant, it may be hard to claim that public international law is a single legal order. The purpose of this thesis is therefore to provide an exa

Sverige är ett av världens ledande länder när det gäller export av krigsmateriel, och exporterar till såväl demokratier som icke-demokratier. Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka hur Sveriges export av krigsmateriel är förenlig med landets åtaganden för bevarandet och skyddandet av de mänskliga rättigheterna på den internationella arenan genom att studera exporten till Förenade Arabemiraten, Norge och US

Health is a universal right, nevertheless, not all people have the same opportunities to fully enjoy it without facing financial difficulties. Universal Health Coverage has the potential to break the health-poverty trap, supporting people with the opportunity of building a healthy structure, essential for a sustainable human and economic development. This paper explores how individual characterist

This essay seeks to address how power asymmetries or structural biases may affect how European Union (EU) law considers market actors and the freedom to conduct a business, combining EU legal methodology with feminist and queer legal and political theory. The research finds that the EU is a purposive order, whose primary objectives inform the EU legal order and the development of EU law. EU functi

The upgrade of transport infrastructure may stimulate regional economic growth and reshape the industrial structure. It may also increase economic gaps between regional giants and peripheral areas through “siphon effect”. This paper uses the Difference-in-Differences (DID) model to examine the correlation between the operation of China high-speed railway (HSR) and changes in real per capita GDP, r

This bachelor thesis studies the process of the culture and arts economic support system in the municipality of Lund. It aims to define problems concerning the current support system, which in the present situation appears in form of a stagnant cultural eco system. To do this participant observation have been used as a method and interviews and communications analysis as complementary methods. The

Revolution. The word makes one think about two things: violence and social change. Is it even possible to achieve change on a large scale without the use of force? This thesis asks the question what a revolution is and whether or not it is dependent on violence to achieve its goals. To answer those questions i have performed an analysis of the violence and revolutionary ideals put forth in Christo

År 2006 började den fredsbevarande FN-instansen UNMIS verka i det område som idag är Sydsudan, och under denna tidsperiod har prostitutionen i landet ökat med nästan 100 %. De fredsbevarande FN-soldaterna drar nytta av sin maktposition som beskyddare genom att utnyttja de sydsudanesiska kvinnorna sexuellt, kvinnorna de ursprungligen är utsända för att beskydda från paramilitära grupper. Detta feno

I uppsatsen presenteras en kartläggning av den italienska poeten och filmskaparen Pier Paolo Pasolinis teoretiska utläggningar kring filmen som "verklighetens semiologi". Resonemangen kopplas här samman med Pasolinis idéer kring "den poetiska filmen" och begreppet "filmpoesi", vilka sedan förankras i en presentation av ett antal utvalda närstudier. I dessa diskuteras
