Several studies show that the use of pesticides within agricultural management have led to increased losses of biodiversity. However, information on the effects of garden pesticides on non-target organisms and the type of products used in private gardens are lacking. With a focus on Lund municipality, an initial inventory of available plant protection products in stores was performed. The study sh
Three-dimensional food printing is an emerging application within the realm of 3D printing with the potential of transforming the foods we consume. The technique harbors incredible potential for improving the eating experience of people suffering from dysphagia, an ailment which causes discomfort at the time of swallowing. Patients suffering from this condition have special diets consisting of tex
Children can be exposed to chemical substances by applying cosmetic products. Using cosmetic constitute a health risk when a cosmetic product contains toxic substances. There are today many different cosmetic products especially developed to be used by children. According to the rules stated by EU legislation 1223/2009, cosmetic products must be correctly labelled and must not to contain the forbi
The inclusion of the poor in the economy is of key importance to the global sustainable development agenda. However, the integration of low-income communities in the economy requires new approaches to innovation, management and sustainability. This thesis aims to investigate how Norwegian initiatives contribute to sustainable and inclusive development in India by analysing the experiences and outc
Bakgrund: En avvikande sensorisk bearbetning kan skapa hinder för delaktighet i skolans lärmiljö om inte miljö och uppgifter anpassas efter barns sensoriska profil. Interventioner behövs för att underlätta skolgången för barn med avvikande sensorisk bearbetning och för att undvika onödigt lidande. Syfte: Undersöka sensoriska interventioner som används i skolans lärmiljö för barn med avvikande
The effect of deglycosylation of pyranose dehydrogenase (PDH) obtained from Agaricus meleagris (Am) and recombinantly expressed in Pichia pastoris on its electrocatalytic activity was investigated. Glycosylated (gAmPDH) and deglycosylated PDH (dgAmPDH) were immobilised on spectrographic graphite (G) simultaneously with an osmium redox polymer (Os-RP) using poly(ethylene glycol)(400) diglycidyl eth
We present a conceptual model for supercontinent cycles in the Proterozoic-Phanerozoic Eons. It is based on the repetitive behavior of C and Sr isotopes in marine carbonates and U–Pb ages and εHf of detrital zircons seen during the Neoproterozoic-Paleozoic and Paleoproterozoic Eras, respectively. These records are considered to reflect secular changes in global tectonics, and it is hypothesized th
I denna text vill jag göra tre poänger: 1) internet är idag och kommer över överskådlig tid att vara ett oerhört viktigt fält för forskning och datainsamling inom samhällsvetenskapen; 2) det finns en rad olika problem – metodmässiga, ekonomiska och etiska – med datainhämtning i stor skala; 3) det etiska regelverket för denna typ av forskning är i Sverige outvecklat och måste ses över.
Trots att jordbrukslandskapet enbart utgör en liten andel av Sveriges totala yta så är många av de arter som minskat i antal och utbredning knutna till just detta. Om inte förlusten av biologisk mångfald i jordbrukslandskapet bryts kan detta leda till att Sverige inte lever upp till konventionen om biologisk mångfald och till att viktiga ekosystemtjänster i jordbrukslandskapet som pollination och
Different theories have been proposed regarding the nature of the mental representations formed as a result of implicit learning of sequential regularities. Some theories postulate abstract surface-independent representations, while other theories postulate stimulus-specific representations. This article reports three experiments investigating the development of abstract representations in artific
Curli are thin, coiled fibers expressed on the surface of Escherichia coli that bind several matrix and plasma proteins such as fibronectin, laminin, plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator, and H-kininogen. In this work, we examined the interactions between curli-expressing E. coli and human major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) and class II (MHC-II) molecules. Curliated E. coli was
We report on a large scale calculation concerning the 5s(2) S-1 and 5s5p P-1,P-3 levels in Sr-88 I, using multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock methods. Our focus is on the P-3(2) meta-stable level, which has been shown to be extremely useful in atom cooling and trapping experiments. The lifetime for this level from our work (1071 s) agrees very well with a previous theoretical value, but not with the ava
