Fotosyntetiserande växter, alger och bakterier fångar in och omvandlar solenergi till kemisk energi. Själva ljusinfångningen involverar olika pigment, varav de mest kända är de gröna klorofyllmolekylerna som förekommer i olika varianter (varav två varianter kallade klorofyll A respektive B förekommer hos högre växter). De ljusinfångande pigmenten inkluderar även de mer mångtaliga karotenoiderna, ePhotosynthetic organisms harvest and convert light energy into chemical energy and utilize it in their metabolism. The light is captured through pigments called chlorophylls and carotenoids, present in the thylakoid membranes inside the chloroplast. In addition to acting as auxiliary light harvesters, the carotenoids also act as antioxidants by 1) preventing the formation of reactive oxygen specie

Popular science summary You are what you eat In this project I used a method called stable isotope analysis. This method is based on the principle ‘you are what you eat.' To begin whith, isotopes are forms of the same element sharing the same number of electrons but differ from each other in its number of neutrons in the nucleus. For example, stable isotope of 13carbon has one extra neutron

This thesis aims at comparing the differences between Chinese welfare system and Swedish welfare system in respects of maternity insurance, parental leave and childcare. The reason comparing welfare system in these specific aspects is because they have intense relations with the mothers’ and children’s benefits. They also influence the mothers’ will of pregnancy. Selecting these two countries as t

Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) can be defined as strategic processes encouraging entrepreneurial actions to support businesses in recognizing and exploiting new opportunities. Previous studies have shown that businesses with higher levels of EO, characterized through actions that are innovative, proactive and risk-affine, perform better than the ones that lack such orientation. Therefore, EO is

Kan svenska rapsrester bli ett nytt alternativ till sojafärs? Allt eftersom jordens befolkning ökar utnyttjas större delar av jordens yta till åkermark. Forskningen visar tydligt att växtbaserade livsmedel har mindre miljöpåverkan än animaliska produkter. Rapsfrökaka är en restprodukt från rapsoljeproduktionen med högt proteininnehåll som har lovande egenskaper för att bilda ett nytt växtbaserat lThe combination of a growing global population and a limiting amount of farmland creates a need for new innovative food products to achieve a global sustainable development and a healthy population. Rapeseed press cake is a low-cost by-product of rapeseed oil production and is very high in protein and fiber. The rapeseed protein contains high concentrations of S-amino acids as methionine and cyste

The aim of this MSc-project was to investigate whether it is possible to incorporate native cell membrane components from Jurkat T cells into supported lipid bilayers, SLBs, to produce a model membrane system better resembling the native cell membranes in T cells. The procedure of forming native-like SLBs (nSLB) was adapted from an existing protocol and is done through the deposition of hybrid ves

Sedan 2017 har elsparkcyklar fått ett stort genombrott i Sverige och har blivit ett allt vanligare transportmedel för att åka korta sträckor. Elsparkcyklar framförs i allt större utsträckning i urbana trafikmiljöer och detta kan innebära en större osäkerhet och otrygghet av elsparkcyklar i städerna och trafiksäkerheten kan påverkas negativt för oskyddade trafikanter. Detta examensarbete har som måSince 2017, electric scooters have become an increasingly common means of transportation in urbanized cities across Sweden for cover short mileage. Electric scooters are seen more often in urbanized cities and this can imply a greater sense of danger when the vehicles are driven more frequently in urban traffic environments, thus causing a greater impact on road safety for vulnerable road users. T

Bakgrund: Otillräcklig postoperativ smärtlindring förlänger återhämtningen och ökar opioidförskrivningen med risk för biverkningar och beroende. Medicinsk akupunktur hardärför föreslagits som ett opioid-besparande komplement. Syfte: Att undersöka om medicinsk akupunktur reducerar postoperativ opioidförbrukning hos vuxna patienter som opererats i generell anestesi, samt att värdera effekten i relaBackground: Inadequate postoperative analgesia delays recovery and increases opioid prescribing, exposing patients to adverse effects and dependency. Medical acupuncture has been proposed as an opioid-sparing adjunct. Objective: To determine whether medical acupuncture reduces postoperative opioid consumption in adults undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia and to evaluate the effect again

In modern ASIC verification, bridging the gap between IP-level and system-level test environments is a major challenge, especially as system-on-chip (SoC) complexity grows. This thesis presents a novel methodology leveraging the Accellera Portable Stimulus Standard to enable portable, reusable verification scenarios across these levels. The approach introduces a pre-runtime signal forcing mechanis

Genetic engineering of molds to produce new pharmaceutical compounds In this master’s thesis project, I investigated natural chemicals produced by fungi which are interesting for the pharmaceutical industry. Fungi are a very large family of organisms that we are still working to understand, and we continue to discover many new species every year. Living by growing on food sources and secreting en

I ett hållbart samhälle är tillgänglighet en viktig förutsättning för alla, oavsett deras bakgrund. Det finns olika komponenter som ingår inom begreppet tillgänglighet. En av dessa komponenter handlar om transportmöjligheten, att man ska ha möjlighet att transportera sig till olika punkter med minsta möjliga reseuppoffring. Detta kan uppnås med hjälp av kollektivtrafiken, eftersom kollektivtrafik In a sustainable society accessibility is vital and should be provided for everyone, regardless of their background. There are different components within accessibility as a concept. One of these components is transport, which has to do with the ability to transport to different destinations with minimum sacrifice. This can be achieved with public transport, because it’s available for everyone and

Sammanfattning Under 1960-talet kunde vetenskapsmän konstatera att en generell uppvärmning av atmosfären resulterade i klimatförändringar. En av källorna till den globala uppvärmningen var och är fortfarande den höga koncentrationen av växthusgaser i atmosfären som uppstår genom mänsklig aktivitet vid förbränning av fossila bränslen. Trots den vetskapen dröjde det en bit in på 2000-talet innan kliSummary In the 1960’s scientists discovered that general heating of the atmosphere or global warming results in climate change. One of the reasons behind global warming is the high concentration of green house gases in the atmosphere, which is a bi-product of fossil fuel combustion caused by human activity. Climate change did not become a European Union priority before the 21st century when the c

Lignin is found in all biomass and is an abundant natural source of aromatic compounds. It has the potential to serve as a renewable raw material for a variety of chemicals currently derived from fossil fuel sources such as muconic acid, an important platform chemical. Kraft lignin is a waste stream from the pulp and paper industry. Upon depolymerization of softwood-derived lignin, aromatic compou

Optimizing the operational sites' systems will result in a more cost-effective facility. In Swedish low-voltage installations, a standard has be

En effektivare överprövning av offentlig upphandling har under en längre tid varit en fråga som behandlats både i det svenska rättsväsendet och i EU. Problemet med överprövningsprocessen har främst varit att de varit att det har tagit för lång tid och resulterat till att upphandlingar har behövt göras om. Som lösning på denna problematik har frågan om preklusionsfrister behandlats i bland annat SA more effective process for review of public procurement has been a subject of discussion, both in Sweden and in the EU. The problem with the review process has mainly been that it has taken too long and has resulted in many public procurement processes having to start over. As a solution the possibility of preclusion in the public procurement process has been studied in the report SOU 2015:12 an

För att förstå skatterättens effekt på det svenska samhället krävs kontinuerlig utredning och utvärdering av regleringarna. Med anledning av detta undersöks i denna uppsats fåmansföretagsbeskattnings effekt på samhället utifrån ett neutralitetsperspektiv. Genom en fördjupad analys klargörs hur neutrala fåmansföretagsbeskattningens regleringar kan anses vara vid val av associationsform. Med dennTo understand the effect of tax law on the Swedish society, continuous investigation and evaluation of regulations is required. With this in mind, this thesis investigates the effect of close company taxation on society from a neutrality perspective. Through a deep analysis, it becomes clear how neutral the regulations for close company taxation are when choosing the form of association. Based on

Uppsatsen tar sikte på att behandla sak- och associationsrättsliga aspekter inom ramen för en aktietransaktion, i synnerhet fokuseras på dispositioner såsom värdepapperslån (eng. securities lending) och blankning (eng. short selling).
