Entrepreneurs often face the need to make quick decisions under uncertainty. To cope with this pressure, they may develop cognitive biases such as the illusion of control, where they overestimate their influence over outcomes, and the belief in the law of small numbers, where they rely on limited information to draw conclusions. While these biases are highly relevant in entrepreneurship, there is

The intention of this thesis has been to study women students and their experiences of norms and unwritten rules at the Academy of Music in Sweden. Through qualitative methods, six women students have contributed with their stories, thoughts and ideas of gender normative systems at the school. The interviews form the basis of the analysis in which three theoretical perspectives have been integrat

DNA barcodes carry coarse-grained genetic information of DNA sequences taken from a genome. Potential applications include bacteriology, medical diagnosis and taxonomy. However, the current state-of-the-art tools for extracting DNA molecules from cells provide only fragmented pieces of chromosomal DNA. As a consequence, also DNA barcodes are fragmented. This calls for the development of complement

Det är uppskattat att det finns fler stjärnor i universum än vad det finns sandkorn på jordens stränder och öknar tillsammans. Precis som stränder och öknar formar vår värld formar stjärnor vår galax och det bortom denna, och precis som att ett sandkorn är för lite för att berätta något viktigt om en strand, ger en stjärna inte mycket information till astronomer. Men många stjärnor i ett till varaStudying the formation and evolution of galaxies is a fundamental problem in astronomy that warrants repeated investigation by astronomers. How do spiral galaxies like our own come to have its distinct spiral arms? How do stars and their properties change over time and will they continue to evolve in the same manner? To try and attempt to answer such questions we need to look to our own Galaxy the

En människa utsätts varje dag för smärta, vilken kan ha orsakats av exempelvis tryck, värme, kyla eller någon sorts kemikalier. Smärtan är nödvändigt för att kroppen ska förstå att den befinner sig i en skadlig situation. Så fort vi utsätts för ett hårt tryck, en extrem temperatur eller farliga kemikalier detekteras detta av speciella receptorer i nervtrådar som skickar vidare signaler till hjärnaThe Transient Receptor Potential, TRP, family is a group of non-selective ion channels which can be activated by harmful stimuli such as temperature, chemicals and mechanical stimuli. The channels play a crucial role in many physiological processes and it is therefore of great interest to know more about these proteins. The TRPA1 is one of many TRP channels, and a better knowledge of its function
