In its most recent Energy Union package, the European Union puts citizens at the core of the cleanenergy transitions. Beyond policy, disruptive innovations in energy sectors are challenging thetraditional business model of large energy utilities. One such disruptive, social innovation is theemergence of new clean energy communities (“NEWCOMERS”).The possible benefits of these “NEWCOMERS” for their
Long-distance migrants are under strong selection to arrive on their breeding grounds at a time that maximizes fitness. Many arctic birds start nesting shortly after snow recedes from their breeding sites and timing of snowmelt can vary substantially over the breeding range of widespread species. We tested the hypothesis that migration schedules of individuals co-occurring at the same non-breeding
An IgG Fc-binding protein was isolated from alkaline extracts of group A streptococci type 15 by ion-exchange chromatography and immunosorption on an IgG column. Ample use of protease inhibitors was necessary to achieve successful isolation. 600 micrograms protein was obtained from 60 g bacteria (wet weight). The protein appeared homogeneous on agarose gel and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide
The heat production by human plasma in healthy and uraemic subjects has been measured by direct isothermal microcalorimetry. The plasma from uraemic subjects displayed an increased heat production compared to that of normal plasma. The heat production by plasma from healthy subjects, but not by that from uraemic patients, was both proportional to the amount of thiol groups in the plasma and also t
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) possesses both beneficial and toxic bioactivities. Mechanisms may operate to counteract harmful effects. We have identified a TNF binding protein (TNF-BP), which shows increased levels in serum and urine of patients on regular hemodialysis treatment (RDT). TNF-BP inhibited the specific binding of human recombinant TNF (rTNF) to its cell surface receptor. Results from ge
Nanoparticles can be used to purify proteins from plasma. We report here the purification of apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) with high specificity from human plasma using copolymeric nanoparticles. We present an optimized protocol using 50:50 NiPAM:BAM copolymer nanoparticles with thermo-responsive properties as an affinity resin. Repeated pelleting and washing of nanoparticle-captured apoA-I is achie
Global health challenges are likely to be aggravated in the coming years by rapid climate change and environmental degradation. To address the resulting health inequities, nurses need an integrated understanding of environmental and social determinants of health. This study adopts an explorative inductive approach to examine how global health and sustainability are expressed the course syllabi of
Brottet grov kvinnofridskränkning straffbelägger mäns systematiska kränkningar av närstående kvinnor. Som skäl för införandet av brottet anfördes att mäns våld mot kvinnor har sin grund i strukturer i samhället som innebär att kvinnan anses vara underordnad mannen. Genom att införa brottet grov kvinnofridskränkning skulle systematiska kränkningar av en närstående kvinna bestraffas strängare, vilkeGross violation of a woman’s integrity is a crime which penalizes a series of criminal acts committed by a man against a woman whom he is, or has been, married to or with whom he is or has been cohabiting under circumstances comparable to marriage. The purpose of the introduction of this criminal act was to upgrade the penal value of such acts and to take into account the woman’s entire situation
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to research how Air Canada uses their country-of-origin as part of their identity and branding strategy and to find out how a global customer base perceives it. Air Canada was chosen for the main focus of this research, as the airline is leveraging their Canadian country-of-origin as the primary factor in differentiating themselves in a highly competitive mark
Vid de flesta processer som innefattar insamlande av data kan det ibland uppstå problem som gör att all data inte samlas in korrekt. När detta händer uppstår det tomma platser i datan där värden saknas. Det finns många sätt att hantera dessa tomma platser och i många fall kan man bortse från dem. Om ett komplett dataset behövs för analys kan så kallade imputationsmetoder användas för att fylla i d
Most Favoured Nation clauses are often incorporated into agreements between online platforms and suppliers. These MFN clauses entail that the prices that are set by suppliers on these platforms, are not higher than the prices on other platforms or the suppliers’ own websites. In this thesis it will be discussed what the competitive effects of MFN clauses are and how they should be assessed under E
Den offentliga diplomatin förändras i takt med kommunikationforskningens ständiga utveckling. Dock tenderar huvudfokus i akademiska studier om offentlig diplomati att beröra de statsvetenskapliga faktorerna snarare än de kommunikativa. Syftet med studien är att fördjupa kunskapen om de kommunikativa utmaningar som den offentliga diplomatin möter när gränserna mellan interna och externa publiker suPublic diplomacy is constantly developing in line with the ever-changing field of communications. The main focus of academic research in the field tends to gravitate towards the social sciences rather than the communication sciences. The aim of this study is to deepen the knowledge of the communicative challenges that public diplomacy is facing as the intersection between internal and external pub
I dagens digitaliserade samhälle möter utgivare och publicister av traditionellt tryckt media stora ekonomiska motgångar vid försäljningen av exempelvis nyhetstidningar eller andra tidskrifter. Således har majoriteten av utläggare idag gjort sina publikationer tillgängliga för läsare online. De digitala intäkterna lyckas dock inte väga upp för de förluster utgivarna lider av den nedåtgående försälIn today's digitized society, publishers of legacy printed media face major financial hardships in the sale of newspapers and other magazines. Thus, most publishers today have made their publications available to readers online. However, digital revenues do not make up for the losses that the publishers suffer from the decreasing sales of printed media. This can in part be attributed to the fa
Syfte: Studiens syfte var att öka kunskapen om socioekonomiska faktorers påverkan på barns språkliga förmåga genom att jämföra narrativer producerade av barn vars vårdnadshavare hade olika utbildningsnivå. Metod: Deltagarna i studien var 64 en- och flerspråkiga barn. Inspelningar av deltagarnas produktion av svenska narrativer till bildserier från Multilingual Assessment Instrument for Narratives
This case study aims to investigate how Arla responds to negative comments posted to their social media in order to gain knowledge of how they take into consideration Issues Management in their social media communication. Through a netnographic observation and two in-depth interviews with Arlas press- and media manager we gather empirical material. The netnographic observation is used to gather co
Uppsatsen ”’The promise of participation culture’: Publikens deltagande i crowdfundingskampanjer” är författad av Sergey Vasiliev under kursen i medie-och kommunikationsvetenskap, vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds universitet. Uppsatsen är en fallstudie av två framgångsrika med olikartade crowdfundingskampanjer, ”Veronica Mars Movie Project” och ”The Pirate Bay – Away From Key
A human-rights based approach (HRBA) to development is increasingly promoted by researchers and adopted by development actors. The approach integrates the fields of development and human rights by transforming development goals into obligations, but is criticized for being more rhetorical than brought to actual change on the ground. This study compares an international non-governmental organizatio
