BACKGROUND: (Z,E)-9,12-tetradecadienyl acetate (ZETA, Z9,E12-14:OAc) is a major sex pheromone component for many stored-product moth species. This pheromone is used worldwide for mating disruption, detection, monitoring, and mass trapping in raw and processed food storage facilities. In this study, we demonstrate the biological production of ZETA pheromone by engineered yeast Saccharomyces cerevis

ConspectusThe photophysics and photochemistry of transition metal complexes (TMCs) has long been a hot field of interdisciplinary research. Rich metal-based redox processes, together with a high variety in electronic configurations and excited-state dynamics, have rendered TMCs excellent candidates for interconversion between light, chemical, and electrical energies in intramolecular, supramolecul

Bioclimatic indices for use in studies of ecosystem function, species distribution, and vegetation dynamics under changing climate scenarios depend on estimates of surface fluxes and other quantities, such as radiation, evapotranspiration and soil moisture, for which direct observations are sparse. These quantities can be derived indirectly from meteorological variables, such as near-surface air t

Barnfridsbrottet i 4 § 3 kap. BrB är ett relativt nytt brott i svensk lagstiftning då det trädde i kraft 1 juli 2021. Lagstiftarens avsikt med bestämmelsen var att uppmärksamma barn som lever i miljöer där våld och andra brottsliga gärningar förekommer och låta deras röster höras genom hela den rättsliga processen. Forskning visar att barn som upplever våld mellan närstående är särskilt skadligt fThe criminalization of letting children witness violence or other crimes in Section 4, Chapter 3 in the Swedish Criminal Code is a relatively new offence as it came into force on 1 July 2021. The legislator's intention with this provision was to draw attention to children living in environments where violence and other criminal acts occur. Research shows that children who experience domestic v

Food consumption is one of the main areas of concern if we should become successful in creating a sustainable future. However, there are diverse views on what sustainability is, and consumers have varied knowledge and commitment to consuming sustainable food. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the impact of consumer understanding of food labels on sustainable purchase behaviour and to explor

Denna uppsats ämnar klarlägga rättsläget runt force majeure, då begreppet i svensk rätt har delade uppfattningar och ingen konkret lagstadgad eller entydig definition. Uppsatsens syfte är därmed att ge en fördjupad förståelse för force majeure. Vidare ämnar denna uppsats undersöka hur force majeure i svensk rätt skiljer sig från ICC:s idé om force majeure, och belysa olika delar av annan nationellThis thesis aims to clarify the legal status of force majeure, as the concept in Swedish law has divided opinions and no concrete statutory definition. The purpose of the thesis is thus to provide a deeper understanding of force majeure. Furthermore, this thesis aims to examine how force majeure in Swedish law differs from the ICC’s idea of force majeure and to highlight various aspects of nationa

Sweden has in the past decade embarked on a journey to rebuild the concept of ‘total defence’. The crisis management system led by the Swedish Civil Contingency Agency has become all-the-more involved in the civil defense, with the Swedish Armed Forces responsible for military defense. The present thesis aims to explore the topic of gender and language in Sweden’s total defense discourse to uncove

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

China's rapid urbanization since the reform and opening up in 1978 has drawn international attention. Scholars like David Harvey has written a lot regarding the capitalized urbanizaiton in China. After studying Harvey’s books, articles and other related works, I found that it is reasonable to apply them into Chinese spatial context since they provide well-founded reference and enlightenment to

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

The world under globalization is moving toward a single market, where national economies are becoming more integrated and interconnected. In this context, over the last decades, the perception of FDI positive spillovers has made developed and developing countries competing to attract foreign investors. This study analyses the determinants of FDI during the globalization process, both theoretically

The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze the home care services quality work, and to what extent the quality work actually safeguards the quality aspects formulated as important by the municipality, the home care services and the users. The purpose was further to investigate in which way the presence of private home care providers has influenced quality work and the view on quality. T

Nödvärn är en ansvarsfrihetsgrund som stadgas i 24 kap. 1 § BrB och innebär att en otillåten gärning rättfärdigas. Om gärningsmannen vid en nödvärnssituation brukar större våld eller förorsakar svårare skada än vad nödvärn tillåter kan personen gå fri från ansvar om omständigheterna var sådana att denne svårligen kunde besinna sig. Detta följer av nödvärnsexcess som stadgas i 24 kap. 6 § BrB. Vid Self-defense is the base of a discharge system explained in chapter 24 paragraph 6 of the Swedish Penal code, which impose that an unauthorized act can be justified. If a self-defense situation occurs and a person cause greater violence or more damage than it allows, the person may avoid responsibility if the circumstances were such that he could hardly control himself. This is called excessive se

Psykisk ohälsa är ett problem som har ökat i stor utsträckning de senaste åren och är idag en orsak till flertalet långtidssjukskrivningar i Sverige. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur långtgående arbetsgivarens rehabiliteringsansvar är då en arbetstagare drabbats av psykisk ohälsa, samt vilken möjlighet en arbetsgivare har att säga upp en sjuk arbetstagare. Rehabiliteringsansvaret har fåtMental illness is a problem that has grown extensively in recent years, and causes a majority of long-term sick leaves in Sweden. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how far-reaching the responsibility of the employers is for the rehabilitation efforts when an employee is suffering from mental disorder. The essay also examines the employers possibilities to dismiss a sick employee. The reh

Syftet med denna uppsats är att anlägga ett de lege ferenda-perspektiv på kärandens möjligheter att ändra sitt yrkande i dispositiva tvistemål i första instans. Ett de lege ferenda-perspektiv förutsätter i sin tur en utredning och analys av gällande rättsläge för att utröna eventuella behov av ändrad lagstiftning i framtiden. Taleändringsfrågan regleras i 13 kap. 3§ Rättegångsbalken (RB) och huvThe purpose of this thesis is to adopt a de lege ferenda-perspective on the possibilities of the plaintiff to amend his or her claim in an optional civil action in the first instance. For a de lege ferenda-perspective to fill its purpose, one must initially clarify and analyze the current legal position. Thus, it will be possible to determine whether there is a need for clearer or better legislati

As the migration crisis occured, the Swedish prime minister Stefan Löfven declared that we should not build the walls, but instead we should help people fleeing from war. However, shortly after this, the number of asylum seekers in Sweden reached its highest level and it became a challenge for the Swedish asylum system and other vital societal functions. In order to deal with this situation, the s
