Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction are associated with the aging process, and can be attributed to mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in cellular respiration. Mitochondrial DNA is particularly prone to damage due to its proximity to reactive oxygen species in the mitochondrial matrix. With the current advances in gene therapy studies for both inherited and acquired diseas

Core Issue: Developing and maintaining industrial automation systems requires a lot of coordination of programming code. To support this task a configuration management system can be used but many companies of today find it hard to select a system that suites them best. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine various configuration management systems and evaluate them according to the nee

Bolivia holds among the biggest reserves of lithium in the world. Lithium-ion batteries are essential components in electric vehicles, solar panels, and wind turbines, and are therefore crucial for a global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Meanwhile, the extraction process of lithium can cause large environmental damage. Bolivia has previously failed to industrialize its lithium,

Wastewater treatment consists of mechanical, chemical and biological purification. This master thesis concerns the biological part of the wastewater treatment called the activated sludge process (ASP). Two different mathematical models, one simplified and one complete, of the ASP are investigated. The models contain systems of nonlinear partial and ordinary differential equations. The nonlineariti

Studies of dog assisted interventions often focus on the effects they have on clients health or situation. In contrast, the aim of this study was to analyze supervisors descriptions of dog assisted interventions in daily activity centers and to discuss how these interventions might affect the client’s situation. The study was performed through six semi-structured interviews using a thematic interv

Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka och analysera rättens prövning av medicinsk sakkunnigbevisning samt att utreda om denna prövning är rättssäker. Regler om sakkunnigbeviset återfinns i 40 kap. RB. Med en sakkunnig åsyftas i uppsatsen en person som besitter särskild fackkunskap och kan höras om denna i en rättegång. För att uppnå arbetets syfte används ett antal frågeställningar. Inledningsvis The objective of this bachelor thesis is to investigate and analyse the court’s evaluation of medical expert evidence and examine if the evaluation is legally secure. Expert evidence is regulated in the code of judicial procedure, in chapter 40. The thesis uses the term expert evidence to define a person who possesses expert knowledge and can be consulted by the court. The aim of the essay has b

This study investigates if and how equity-based crowdfunding can benefit a start-up’s corporate brand building process. Building the corporate brand can play a significant role for the company’s establishment in the market. Although equity-based crowdfunding has grown exponentially in the Nordics, it has not been covered enough in corporate brand building literature. The scope of this research was

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a term increasingly used in academic discussions, political debates, media, corporate reports, Non-Governmental Organizations’ (NGOs) reports, and even by civil society and the public. But what does CSR actually mean? What do CSR practices actually constitute? Another increasingly debated issue is the growing power of the business sector and its direct effe

This paper is devoted to the actual questions beyond the liquidity-volatility relationship on Copenhagen Stock Exchange. The applied data set consists of daily index returns, turnover rates, proportional bid-ask spreads and illiquidity ratios over the period from 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2013 for the actively traded stocks comprised in the OMX C20 index. This study conducts the standard GARC

Konceptet city branding har växt fram som ett strategiskt verktyg i syfte att uppnå positiva uppfattningar av en stad bland invånarna samt attrahera de som vill bosätta sig på, investera i eller besöka platsen. Evenemang och festivaler har visat sig vara populära strategier ämnade att skapa mervärde i värdstadens samhälls- skikt, som bidrar till det varumärke och den image som önskas. Malmö är enThe concept of city branding has emerged as a strategic tool in order to achieve positive perceptions of a city among residents and to attract those who want to live, invest or visit the location. Events and festivals have proven popular strate- gies in order to create added value in all societal aspects of the host-city, contrib- uting to the brand and image as desired. Malmö is a multidimensiona

The goal of this thesis work is to describe the methods used and perform comprehensive testing of the Double-Sided Silicon-Strip Detectors (DSSD) prior to their implementation in the Lund-York-Cologne CAlorimeter (LYCCA) detector. In the framework of this project, the DSSD characterisation was carried out to ensure specification compliance prior to their "in-kind contribution" delivery t

Författare, konstnärer och fotografer äger rätt till sina verk och åtnjuter upphovsrättsligt skydd. Upphovsrätten är emellertid inte undantagslös och det finns ett flertal inskränkningar som tillåter viss användning av upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk. Det så kallade parodiundantaget tillåter användning av upphovsrättsligt skyddade verk i parodi-, pastisch- och karikatyrsyfte. I svensk lag saknas enAuthors, artists and photographers own copyright to their works, but not without exception. The so-called parody exception allows use for the purpose of caricature, parody or pastiche. Swedish law does not have a legal provision allowing use of copyrighted work for the purpose of parody. According to legislative history a parody is allowed because it is a new and independent work. It is disputed i

The shielding at an accelerator-driven spallation neutron facility plays a critical role in the performance of the neutron scattering instruments, the overall safety, and the total cost of the facility. Accurate simulation of shielding components is thus key for the design of upcoming facilities, such as the European Spallation Source (ESS), currently in construction in Lund, Sweden. In this paper

This paper investigates whether inflation series are mean-reverting. Traditional unit root tests (ADF and KPSS tests) are conducted in the paper. These tests indicate that inflation contains a unit root. It is however well-known that traditional unit root tests have difficulties to distinguish between a unit root process and a fractionally integrated process. Hence, in this thesis, fractional inte

How many times have you heard that if children are in church they should be quiet and still? It was common to hear when I was young that children should go out as soon as they started making any noise. It was and is always a pleasure for everyone to hear the cute children singing a pretty song in church but afterwards there should be silence again! What I want is for the congregation to accept the

Utvecklingen av den artificiella intelligensen anses utgöra den fjärde industri-ella revolutionen. Den tekniska utvecklingen har emellertid givit upphov till ett antal komplexa frågor vad avser frågan om ansvar. Uppsatsen har som syfte att utreda om en biltillverkare kan hållas ansvarig enligt PAL för skador orsa-kade av den artificiella intelligensen i en autonom bil. Det råder strikt ansvar i PAThe development of artificial intelligence has been described as the fourth in-dustrial revolution. However, technological developments may result in com-plex questions with regard to the issue of liability. The aim of this thesis is to analyze whether a vehicle manufacturer can be held liable for damages caused by the artificial intelligence according to the Product Liability Act (PAL). The legal
