Molecular imprinting technology is derived from the concept of creating designed recognition sites in macromolecular matrices by means of template polymerisation. Molecularly imprinted polymers are able to mimic recognition in natural binding events, such as antibody-antigen and receptor-ligand interactions. This thesis addresses some aspects of the preparation of molecularly imprinted polymers an
The use of participatory action research in media studies is under development and has the last years become notable as a new way of exploring changes that has taken place on the media market the last decades. Media corporations in Sweden continue shutting down local editorial offices and centralize local news reporting to the head editorials. An absence of local reporting in several rural areas iThe use of participatory action research in media studies is under development and has the last years become notable as a new way of exploring changes that has taken place on the media market the last decades.

This is the fifth annual report of the Swedish Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, a national monitoring programme coordinated by Lund University for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency since 2010. The programme is a partnership between the Entomological Society of Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Lund University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the Swedish
Nedslagskratrar är en av de vanligaste geologiska strukturerna i vårt solsystem men relativt få har hittats på Jorden. Däremot finns det flera rapporterade potentiella nedslagskratrar som ännu inte bekräftats eller undersökts. Denna studies syfte är att undersöka hur en nedslagskrater identifieras och hur en potentiell nedslagsstruktur kan hittas. Jag har samlat information om fem potentiella neds
Elevated levels of tropospheric ozone can significantly impair the growth of crops. The reduced removal of CO2 by plants leads to higher atmospheric concentrations of CO2, enhancing radiative forcing. Ozone effects on economic yield, e. g. the grain yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), are currently used to model effects on radiative forcing. However, changes in grain yield do not necessarily re
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the experiences of a digital management programme for hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA), including education and exercises as well as an option to chat with an assigned physical therapist for feedback, questions and support.SETTING: This study was conducted at a regional hospital in the southern part of Sweden.METHODS: Nineteen patients (10 women), median age of 66 (q1-q3
By employing seven semi-structured interviews with local judges and prosecutors in Kosovo, this study aims at examining how the European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX) has impacted the legal order in Kosovo and the practice of the judges and prosecutors. In addition, this study examines how the impacts of EULEX, and how the judges and prosecutors will be affected after the EULEX are withdrawn f
This research will attempt to reveal some major fault lines of the Basel III Capital Accords concerning Banking Regulation. It will consider some shortcomings of the previous rounds and scrutinise Basel III’s attempts to address the same issues. I have provided some idealised recommendations from various authors based upon previous problems and attempt to analyse where Basel III falls short agains
This thesis examines the effects of European Union integration on exports, focusing on the most recent EU enlargement involving Croatia. In addition to assessing the direct impact of EU accession on Croatian exports to the EU, the study investigates potential spillover effects on exports from the Western Balkan Six (WB6) countries relative to a control group. The empirical strategy combines fixed-
