The positive correlation between elevated expression of wingless-type mammary tumor virus integration site family member 5A (WNT5A) and metastatic potential in melanoma has been extensively explored. However, detailed mechanistic aspects regarding how WNT5A promotes increased melanoma aggressiveness remains unknown. Myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS), an intracellular protein c

Aktivt kol har identifierats som en av de mer effektiva metoderna när det kommer till att avlägsna organiska mikroföroreningar (OMF) från avloppsvatten. Aktivt kol är ett poröst material med stor ytarea som kan adsorbera andra ämnen. Det är inget som existerar naturligt utan behöver framställas. Framställningen kan ske från i princip vilket material som helst som har en hög kolhalt. En stor del avActivated carbon has been identified as one of the more effective methods of removing organic micropollutants (OMP) from wastewater. Activated carbon is a porous material with a large surface area that allows adsorption of other substances. The material does not exist naturally and therefore has to be produced. The production can be done from any carbon-rich material and today the precursor is mai

Abstract Title: How can ASSA ABLOY develop its M&A analysis with regard to supply chain synergies? Authors: Axel Johnsson and Erik Hellberg Supervisor: Andreas Norrman Examiner: Louise Bildsten Background: Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are majorly conducted with the ambition and endeavour of realizing synergies, thereby enabling the merged corporation to generate greater value compared Supply chain synergy analysis – A framework for operational M&A BY AXEL JOHNSSON & ERIK HELLBERG (May 2025) Potential synergistic effects are crucial to the decision of whether M&A transactions should be completed or not, and could be the difference between a failed and successful deal. This is why the study has produced a framework for comprehensive and accurate supply chain synergy

En grundvattenundersökning i ett område präglat av vattenrelaterade problem. Staden Cochabamba i Bolivia står inför flera vattenrelaterade utmaningar såsom brist på ytvatten, en ökande vattenanvändning, urbanisering och en sjunkande grundvattennivå. Samtidigt råder det en brist på kunskap angående de processer som påverkar grundvattnet i området. Något som detta examensarbete ämnar att förändra. The Central Valley of Cochabamba is located in the Andes mountain range, Bolivia. This region experiences several water related challenges such as a scarcity of surface water, an increasing water demand, a growing urbanization in groundwater recharge areas, and a declining water table due to intensive groundwater extraction. The valley has been influenced by both alluvial and fluvial depositions t

This work reports the research and findings concerning the processes of groundwater flow and distribution to lake Bolmen in the Småland region, Sweden. The watershed of Bolmen is of high interest since it provides water for drinking and energy purposes, representing a resource of notable importance for the society of southern Sweden. Among the main objectives there is the estimation of the water b

Does treating high blood pressure improve neurodegeneration High blood pressure, also called hypertension could damage the brain. Our research tries to understand how lowering blood pressure affects the hypertensive brain. Hypertension is the disease that people have abnormally high blood pressure. Nowadays, 1 in 5 people worldwide have hypertension, accounting for 1.13 billion people. This cause

Mellan cirka 30-50 procent av den mat som produceras i världen årligen kommer aldrig människan tillgodo som föda. Att mat slängs eller på annat sätt går förlorad i livsmedelskedjan är ett stort problem, framför allt för att många människor i världen inte har tillgång till mat men också för att produktionen av livsmedel medför en betydande miljöpåverkan. Vad gäller statistiken över matsvinnet är deIt is estimated that between 30 and 50 percent of the food produced in the world annually will never be consumed by humans. The fact that significant amounts of food are lost or thrown away in the food supply chain is not just an environmental issue; above all it is a huge problem because many people in the world do not have access to food. Lost food and waste appears throughout the whole food sup

Inom konkursrätten syftar bouppteckningseden till att förmå gäldenären att uppge alla tillgångar i konkursboet sanningsenligt. Uppsatsen behandlar bouppteckningsedens uppkomst ur ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv med det bakomliggande motivet att fastställa dess syfte och religiösa prägel. Vidare behandlas frågan vilken ställning bouppteckningen har i dagens konkursrätt och hur pass nödvändig den är Under bankruptcy law the estate inventory-oath aims to persuade the debtor to disclose all the assets of the bankruptcy estate truthfully. This essay deals with the origin of oath from a legal historical perspective, with of aim of defining its purpose. It further examines the status of the estate inventory-oath in the current bankruptcy law and how necessary it is in practice. A study of legal

Problem definition: In recent years, Kalmar has received an increased number of requests and indications from the market concerning automated solutions in the industry. In the paper industry this is mainly caused by the increased costs in the customer's key processes that possibly could be reduced by fully automated solutions. However, there is currently no clear view of the market potential a

Molnens roll i klimatsystemet har studerats och deras påverkan på solens inverkan på jordens energibalans. Jordens albedo påverkar energibalansen genom att den påverkar hur mycket av solens instrålning som reflekteras eller absorberas. Moln påverkar jordens albedo och spelar därför en viktig roll i denna balans. Molnbildning sker till nära 100% i troposfären och där finns allt det vi kallar väder.The role of clouds in the climate system has been studied and their impact on the Sun's impact on the Earth's energy balance. The Earth's albedo affects the energy balance by influencing how much of the Sun’s radiation is reflected or absorbed. Clouds affect the Earth's albedo and therefore play an important role in this balance. Cloud formation occurs almost 100% in the tropospher

Background: B-vitamins are essential for one-carbon metabolism and have been linked to colorectal cancer. Although associations with folate have frequently been studied, studies on other plasma vitamins B2, B6, and B12 and colorectal cancer are scarce or inconclusive. Methods: We carried out a nested case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, includ

The present thesis investigates the usage of cultural heritage resources on the web. In recent years cultural heritage objects has been digitalized and made available on the web for the general public to use. The thesis addresses to what extent the digitalized material is used, and how findable it is on the web. On the web resources needs to be findable in order to be visited and used. The study i

Plant cells carry Ca2+ ATPases to maintain the low resting level of cytosolic Ca2+ (0.1-0.2 µM) found in all eukaryotes. Plant Ca2+ ATPases are mainly located in the plasma membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum and in the vacuolar membrane, and consequently large Ca2+ gradients are created across these membranes. The Ca2+ gradients are used by the cell to transmit information in a variety of physiol

Abstract in French Beaucoup d’hommes et de femmes aymara affirment que le savoir humain, transmis par la langue, n’est qu’un pur ‘siwsawi’, i.e. des paroles, des opinions, des points de vue, des jugements d’individus particuliers. Ainsi, il s’agit d’un savoir particulier ; c’est une connaissance concernant l’opinion de certaines personnes, rien de plus. Ceci est, de manière significative, différenMany Aymara men and women claim that human knowledge as transmitted through language is pure ‘siwsawi’, i.e. talk, opinions, views and judgments of particular individuals. As such it is knowledge of a particular kind; it is knowledge concerning the opinions of other humans, nothing else. It is thereby significantly different from the non-linguistic, experiential knowledge that is lived-through and

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varför beslutar politiker ibland att vidta till synes effektlösa åtgärder? Varför uppstår ibland stora politiska konflikter i små frågor? I vanliga fall vidtar man en politisk åtgärd därför att man eftersträvar det konkreta resultatet av åtgärden. Symbolpolitik är när en politisk fråga blir viktig, inte beroende på vad den konkret innebär och leder till, utan på grund aSymbolic politics is the degree to which political decision-making is motivated, not by the tangible aspects of the decision, but by the interpretation of what the decision represents symbolically. While symbolic politics is widely recognized as an important aspect of political decision-making, the phenomenon is insufficiently explored in political science. The first aim of the present dissertatio

Popular Abstract in Swedish Länder som strävar efter att kvalificera sig för medlemskap i Europeiska unionen måste genomföra omfattande reformer under kort tid. Som en effekt av anpassningsprocessen till unionens regelverk och politiska, ekonomiska och administrativa kriterier omstruktureras statsapparaten. Detta gäller inte minst i de kandidatländer som samtidigt genomgår radikala transformationsIt is generally recognized that the EU accession process has profound effects on state transformation in the postcommunist applicant countries. A key problem of postcommunism has been a weak ability to implement public policy. This study explores how efforts to fulfill EU conditionality may influence implementing capacity. Firstly, it advances a theoretical framework for this purpose, focusing on
