Resolving challenges related to the sustainability of natural capital and ecosystem services is an urgent issue. No roadmap on reaching sustainability exists; and the kind of sustainable land use required in a world that acknowledges both multiple environmental boundaries and local human well-being presents a quandary. In this commentary, we argue that a new globally consistent and expandable syst
The recently identified phylogenetic subgroup B5 of fungal glycoside hydrolase family 18 genes encodes enzymes with mannosyl glycoprotein endo-N-acetyl-b-D-glucosaminidase (ENGase)-type activity. Intracellular ENGase activity is associated with the endoplasmic reticulum associated protein degradation pathway (ERAD) of misfolded glycoproteins, although the biological relevance in filamentous fungi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Grundvatten, det vatten som förekommer i hålrum i underjorden, är en av våra allra viktigaste naturresurser. Grundvattnet utgör den absolut största andelen för oss tillgängligt färskvatten och används för att producera mat och som processvatten inom olika industrier. Ungefär hälften av jordens dricksvattenförsörjning baseras på grundvattenuttag och ekosystem världen övePesticides are known to occur in groundwater worldwide. However, long-term pollution concerns and cause-effect relationships for specific regions remain limited. This thesis explores the occurrence of pesticides in south-Swedish groundwater, with the aims of providing a better knowledge basis for assessment and management of present-day and future pollution risks. The investigations are restricted
Popular Abstract in Swedish Neuroblastom är den vanligaste solida tumören, utanför hjärnan, hos små barn och finns nästan inte alls hos vuxna. Varje år insjuknar mellan femton och tjugo barn i Sverige, de flesta före två års ålder. Överlevnaden har ökat de senaste tjugo åren men är fortfarande på låga nivåer för de mer aggressiva formerna. Neuroblastom uppstår i det sympatiska nervsystemet. DärförIn this thesis, the main focus has been on the childhood cancer neuroblastoma, one of the most common and lethal childhood tumours. Neuroblastoma has througout the years continued to be a clinical and biological enigma. Our first focus was on one of the most important biological risk factors in neuroblastoma -- amplification of the oncogene MYCN in the tumour cells. Because amplified MYCN typical
A series of QM/MM optimizations of the full protein of [Fe] hydrogenase were performed. The FeGP cofactor has been optimized in the water-bound resting state (1), with a side-on bound dihydrogen (2), or as a hydride intermediate (3). For inclusion of H4MPT in the closed structure, advanced multiscale modeling appears to be necessary, especially to obtain reliable distances between CH-H4MPT+ and th
Pathogenic mycobacteria reside in, and are in turn controlled by, macrophages. However, emerging data suggest that neutrophils also play a critical role in innate immunity to tuberculosis, presumably by their different antibacterial granule proteins. In this study, we purified neutrophil azurophil and specific granules and systematically analyzed the antimycobacterial activity of some purified azu
De Saxiska byarna i Transsylvanien karaktäriseras av sina befästa kyrkor och av en bystruktur som förblivit oförändrad sedan medeltiden. Idag finns sju av dessa hundratals byar listade på UNE-SCOs världsarvslista, men det finns ett stort värde i att arbeta för att bevara ännu fler. De utgör en viktig del av regionens kulturlandskap och identitet. Jag har själv en mycket stark personlig koppling ti
Den religiösa seden att omskära pojkar är mycket omdiskuterad. Den ena gruppen ställer sig bakom föräldrarnas rätt till religionsfrihet, den andra ställer sig bakom pojkars rätt till kroppslig autonomi och religionsfrihet, det vill säga rätten att inte bli omskuren. I denna uppsats kommer dessa intressen att beaktas ur ett EKMR-perspektiv. Europadomstolen har ännu inte prövat ett fall om pojkars rThe religious practice to circumcise boys is widely debated. One group is siding with the parental right to freedom of religion. The other is siding with boys’ right to bodily autonomy and freedom of religion, that is, not to be circumcised. In this thesis, these interests will be considered from the perspective of the ECHR. The ECtHR is yet to try a case regarding boys’ right or lack thereof not
This thesis sets to interrogate the deployment of resource nationalism in the Turkish case, using the hydraulic project Güneydoğu Anadolu Projesi as a case study. While previous research has often determined resource nationalism through state-building and economic accumulation, the thesis challenges this literature by focusing on how conceptualizations of subjects and places are constructed in con
Europeiska kommissionen har sedan en tid tillbaka upplevt brister i EU:s kontroll av företagskoncentrationer. Detta eftersom EU:s koncentrationsförordning inte anses fånga alla potentiellt konkurrensrättsligt problematiska företagsförvärv. Diskussionerna har gällt både förordningens kriterier för "unionsdimension", alltså tröskelvärdena för omsättning, och "koncentration", alltThe European Commission has for some time perceived enforcement gaps in relation to the jurisdictional scope of EU merger control not being adequate in capturing all potentially competitively problematic mergers and acquisitions. The discussions have been both in regard to the criteria of ‘Union dimension’, i.e. the turnover thresholds, and to the criteria of ‘concentration’, i.e. the threshold of
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether sustainability action can increase investment efficiency in relatively difficult industries. The study is conducted quantitatively. The ESG Score and the financial data are taken from Revinitiv (Popularly known as Thomson Reuters). The financial data are combined and calculated to make the control variables and investment efficiency. And the stud
Introduction: International cooperation is essential for public health, as countries need to access medical equipment, combat health crises, and strengthen health capacities. Medical Diplomacy is a concept and practices that combines the goals of improving intergovernmental relations and health, by initiating and facilitating intergovernmental health cooperation. Objectives: This study specificall
The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) is a cornerstone of the union’s strategy to mitigate climate change and innovation is integral to emissions reduction, as well as an aim of the policy. To study if the EU ETS is associated with increased innovation, the Swedish Pulp and Paper Industry (PPI) poses an interesting case. Not only is Sweden itself a leading innovator, but its PPI have rapidly reduc
This study aims to understand the construction process of legitimizing extrajudicial killings through analyzing text from print and electronic media and how they have been portrayed to the audience. It puts an effort to understand how Bangladesh government legitimize extra-judicial killings within a democratic framework of a country. Extrajudicial killing is a threat to modern societies. It has ad

Recent studies suggest that vortex ring formation during left ventricular (LV) rapid filling is an optimized mechanism for blood transport, and that the volume of the vortex ring is an important measure. However, due to lack of quantitative methods, the volume of the vortex ring has not previously been studied. Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) is a new flow analysis method, which enables in vi
This investigation concerned the question of whether honeybees collect bacteria that are beneficial for humans from the flowers that contribute to formation of their honey. Bacteria originating from the types of flowers involved, and found in different anatomic parts of the bees, in larvae, and in honey of different types, were sampled during a 2-year period. 16S rRNA sequencing of isolates and cl
Small heat-shock protein chaperones are important players in the protein quality control system of the cell, because they can immediately respond to partially unfolded proteins, thereby protecting the cell from harmful aggregates. The small heat-shock proteins can form large polydisperse oligomers that are exceptionally dynamic, which is implicated in their function of protecting substrate protein
