Biobased economy is becoming a central strategy to decouple industrial production from fossil feedstock and thus to tackle global warming. Consequently there has been an interest in developing technologies for the production of chemicals, materials, and fuels from renewable bio-based feedstock. This can be achieved thanks to industrial biotechnology and metabolic engineering. Protocatechuic acid (
Evaluation of other cultures is a strong force in a culture's definition of itself. Cultures are formed in encounters that include domination, conflict, and dismissal as much as appreciation and smooth exchange. In this paper, the construction of cultural identity is discussed, with reference to a Scandinavian Theme Park proposal made in cooperation between American design consultants and a local
Density-gradient centrifugation of bovine tracheal epithelial cell extracts revealed a 'high-density' (1.48 g/ml) sialic-acid-rich population as well as a 'low-density' (1.42 g/ml) one that reacted more strongly with a periodate-Schiff (PAS) assay. The sialic-acid-rich mucins were oligomeric molecules containing disulphide-bond-linked subunits and large glycosylated domains, whereas the PAS-reacti
Portfolio optimization is a central problem in finance, with traditional approaches of- ten relying on forecasts of expected returns and covariances. With the growing adoption of machine learning in finance, return forecasting using ML techniques has become in- creasingly common. More recently, an alternative approach has been proposed where the portfolio weights are learned directly, bypassing th
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how queer students in Danish upper-secondary schools expe- rience and navigate their school environments and how this is influenced by institutional practices. As such, this thesis adopts a dual perspective on queer students by investigating experiences of and agency within school environments, in the form of how they choose to respond to situations of dis-
Polyolefins make up the majority of all plastics produced and can be found in a range of applications. Simultaneously, 60% of all plastics are not being recycled, and consequently are accumulating in the environment where it poses serious threats to both the environment, human health, and economies. Current attempts to address the problem have had limited success. An emerging solution is biodegrad
Denna uppsats syftar till att kritiskt analysera 2022 års reform av anställ-ningsskyddet i förhållande till uppsägning på grund av personliga skäl, med särskilt fokus på hur förändringarna påverkat arbetstagares rättsliga ställning. Reformen innebar dels en ny utformning av prövningen av sakliga skäl enligt 7 § LAS, dels en möjlighet att genom kollektivavtal avvika från den lagstadgade innebörden
Kommuner anses i svensk rätt inte ha kompetens att ägna sig åt rent statliga angelägenheter. En sådan exklusiv statlig angelägenhet är utrikespolitiken. I denna uppsats har jag undersökt vad den begränsningen får för konsekvenser för den kommunala kompetensens omfattning. I det syftet har jag studerat dels innebörden av begreppet utrikespolitik i svensk rätt, dels hur den kommunala kompetensen begIn Swedish law, municipalities do not have competence to act in matters which are the responsibility of the state. One such responsibility is foreign policy. In this essay I have examined the consequences of this limitation for the extent of municipal competence. To this end I have studied the meaning of the concept of foreign policy in Swedish law, and how municipal competence is limited by the p
Denna uppsats undersöker hur det svenska genomförandet av de nya gränsförfarandena, som del av EU:s nya migrations- och asylpakt, kan påverka asylsökandes rätt till frihet under artikel 5 i Europakonventionen. Fokus ligger på screeningförfarandet, asylgränsförfarandet och gränsförfarandet för återvändande, vilka tillsammans skapar en ny inresefas vid ankomst till Unionen. Pakten bygger på den rättThis thesis examines how the Swedish implementation of the new border procedures, as part of the new EU Pact on Migration and Asylum, may affect asylum seekers’ right to liberty under Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The focus is on the screening procedure, the asylum border procedure and the return border procedure, which together create a new pre-entry phase when arriving to
From the mid-2000s onwards, deep and comprehensive bilateral ‘new generation’ free trade agreements (NGFTAs) became the central instrument of the European Union’s (EU) Common Commercial Policy (CCP). The Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada was initially praised for its innovative scope and design and intended to serve as an archetype for future EU trade agre
Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has improved outcome for patients with metastatic melanoma but not all benefit from treatment. Several immune- and tumor intrinsic features are associated with clinical response at baseline. However, we need to further understand the molecular changes occurring during development of ICB resistance. Here, we collect biopsies from a cohort of 44 patients with melanom
The shell structure of atomic nuclei far from the line of beta-stability and the properties of the nucleon-nucleon interaction in exotic isotopes are not well known. The development of radioactive ion beams (RIBs) puts certain unexplored regions of the nuclear chart within reach of detailed experimental investigations. The low-energy nuclear structure of the unstable isotopes 106,108,110Sn, 100,1
The erection of roadside memorials in Sweden is commonly considered a novel practice, appearing during the last 10-15 years. Nevertheless similar precedent practices can be found in the history of Sweden. Stories about marking the site of an unexpected death with a cross could be said to date back to the eleventh century legend of Saint Sigfrid, telling of the first English missionary to spread C
The drafters of the 1990 Dublin Convention knowingly and willfully disregarded divergences among Member States' protection systems. Like a boomerang, the fallacy of this approach has now reappeared in cases where asylum seekers have challenged transfers under the Convention, tasking judges to tackle a problem which its drafters avoided. The core issue of this article is whether and when such diver
The frame story
takes place in a dystopian Europe, possibly some kind of European Union around 2050 – in a state of conflicts and decay. The protagonists are a retired general, Piscator (cf. Fisher King) and a former journalist, Perle Vaus (cf. Perlesvaus/Perceval/Parsifal). She lost her home because of a new genderrelated law and stays homeless with others, covered by the Saxon bridge.
The main aim of this thesis is to analyze the process of institutionalization and neo-/interdisciplinarization in Women’s/Gender/Feminist Studies (WGFS) in Sweden, and the construction of feminist knowledge within this process. Furthermore, the thesis aims to contribute to the feminist debates on academic feminism as a transformative project. Three questions have guided the research process: 1) Ho
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with t(9;22)(q34;q11), also known as AML with BCR-ABL1, is a rare, provisional entity in the WHO 2016 classification and is considered a high-risk disease according to the European LeukemiaNet 2017 risk stratification. We here present a retrospective, population-based study of this disease entity from the Swedish Acute Leukemia Registry. By strict clinical inclusion cr
Background and Objectives: The International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) Working Party (WP) on Red Cell Immunogenetics and Blood Group Terminology (RCI&BGT) held six business meetings between December 2021 and June 2024. This report describes the new blood group systems and antigens ratified during these meetings. Materials and Methods: Candidate systems and antigens were reviewed acco
