Since the first methadone program was introduced in Sweden during the late 60s, it has been a controversial method of treating opiate addiction. The aim of this study was to, by doing a discourse analysis, come to an understanding how the Swedish maintenance program for opiate addiction was constructed and debated in three big Swedish newspapers during the 2000s. More specifically the aim was to r
Studies have showed that children that are spending their daytime at preschools suffer from more infections than children who stay at home. The indoor environment has a big impact on our health and therefore it must be good and suitable for the children in preschools. According to the Swedish environmental laws preschools must set- up preventive work to avoid environmental and health problems an
Author: Ditte Edström Title: ADHD a social construction - A discourse analysis on how ADHD is described and communicated in professional school journals [translated title] Supervisor: Anders Lundberg Five percent of all students in Swedish schools have got an ADHD diagnosis (The National Board of Health and Welfare 2014), which is about two children in each class. In ten years, the diagnosed cas
On July 1st 2013 a merger within the organization Malmö stad was implemented. This study aims to examine the consequences of this merger for the social identification of the employees of a human service agency within Malmö stad. A quantitative method was used to examine the hypothesis for this study, which is as follows: the more involved the employees perceive themselves to be during the merger p
Purpose: To compare and analyse four cases and some relevant journal articles. Methodology: Case studies/Cross sectional design and qualitative interviews. Theoretical perspectives: Transaction cost theory and relevant journal articles in order to identify motives already brought to the publics attention. Empirical foundation: Interview with either CEO alternatively head of investor relations/a
Popular Science Summary Konsten att kunna ta bort ett syre Alla celler har DNA, som måste repareras och kopieras för att livet ska fortgå. För att kunna göra detta måste det finnas byggstenar. En av alla processer som ser till att alla delar finns i rätt mängd innefattar bara ett protein. Ett protein som får instruktioner från många håll för att gå igenom en komplicerad process som tillverkar dessThe protein ribonucleotide reductase catalyses the de novo synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) from ribonucleotides (NTPs), using radical chemistry. It is under strict allosteric regulation, partly from the dNTPs it synthesises that regulate what substrate should be synthesised, but also from dATP/ATP, which regulates overall activity. It is a protein that is found in almost every living org
The objective of this study is to get new experimental data regarding to the burning velocities of ethanol, acetaldehyde and their mixture which has been performed by the heat flux method. It is known that the heat flux method for determination of laminar burning velocities is an efficient technique since the burning velocity can be determined directly, without applying extrapolations. These lamin
In times of increased environmental awareness, there exists a desire to not only build new environmentally friendly and renewable power generating units, but also to increase the efficiency of all existing technology. Wind power is such a renewable and environmentally friendly technology. Wind turbines and wind power have made giant leaps in the world in the past years, with an almost exponential
”Ordet klang är tomt i sig om det inte vibrerar någonstans hos personen i fråga” Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka beröringspunkter som finns i fyra sångpedagogers förhållningsätt och tankar kring klang och sound i sångundervisning. Insamling av dataunderlag till resultatet har skett genom en kvalitativ intervjumetod med halvstrukturerade samtal som utgångspunkt. Därefter har resultatenTitle: The word timbre in itself doesn’t mean anything if it’s not incorporated with the individual person. This study aims to examine similarities between four vocal coaches regarding their approach to the work with tone colour, the timbre in their students’ voices. This study is based on a qualitative interview method with semi-structured interviews as a starting point. The recorded interviews w
Background: Chemokines are small molecular weight proteins, which mainly function as a chemoattractant cytokines for leukocyte migration. Emerging data indicate that chemokines may also play a role in cancer biology. Colon cancer is one of the most leading causes of death especially in the industrial world. The most common causes of mortality are due to the metastasis of colon cancer. Aim: The aim
This study focused on expression, purification and functional characterization of three key proteins (Urc1p, Urc2p and Urc8p) in the newly discovered uracil catabolism (URC) pathway. A novel expression system was established by using Saccharomyces kluyveri as a host organism for expression of 6-His tagged Urc1p and Urc2p. Moreover, URC8 gene was cloned in pET151/D-TOPO vector and expressed in Esch
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to gain a deeper understanding of how Turkey has dealt with freedom of expression. This study analyzes two court cases in which the European Court of Human Rights determined that Turkey failed in its obligation to protect the freedom of expression of two of its citizens, Hrant Dink and Selahattin Demirtaş. The study begins by analyzing the merits of the cases
This thesis studies the phenomenon of non-actual motion (NAM) (Blomberg, 2014; Blomberg & Zlatev 2014), and its expression in language and gestures. It has been documented that many languages employ expressions of motion in descriptions of static scenarios (Amagawa, 1997; Blomberg, 2014; Matsumoto, 1996; Rojo & Valenzuela, 2003, 2009; Stosic & Sarda, 2009), here called NAM-expressions
From the first of October 2019 there was a new supplier of medical equipment in five regions in Sweden. From the second of October we had a medical equipment crisis on our hands. This thesis aims to uncover why one out of five regions was practically unharmed by the supply shortage and if this was due to active measurements taken by the region authorities or something else. The study uses Lundquis
Haematopoietic stem cells are the source of all blood components including T-cells. When the T-cell programme is initiated in these cells, the expression of T-cell associated genes such as TCF7 is up-regulated, while genes opposing this fate are turned off. Subsequently, epigenetic marks on the gene BCL11B and its regulatory elements, disabling the expression of the gene, are removed and the trans
The aim of the study is to research preschool teacher’s understanding and way of talking about ethnicity and diversity in two different municipalities. The design of the methods performed for the study was qualitative and seven interviews have been done to gather empirics. The interview guide was semi-structured in order to be able to keep a flexible approach through the interviews. The result sho
The purpose of this thesis is to explore how marketing freelancers perceive personal branding and how they practice it. Both offline and online environments for practicing personal branding have been included. The aimed contribution is to broaden the understanding of personal branding by adding the perceptions that marketing freelancers have towards this topic. Additionally, the attempt is to prov
