DNA barcodes carry coarse-grained genetic information of DNA sequences taken from a genome. Potential applications include bacteriology, medical diagnosis and taxonomy. However, the current state-of-the-art tools for extracting DNA molecules from cells provide only fragmented pieces of chromosomal DNA. As a consequence, also DNA barcodes are fragmented. This calls for the development of complement

To keep up with the rapidly increasing global population, a significant increase in production of protein foods is required. The environmental impact of the meat industry, in combination with consumer awareness, calls for this food production to become more sustainable. One solution is development of meat analogues, which are meat-like texturized products based on vegetable proteins. In this proj

Tonåringar löper hög risk att utsättas för traumatiska händelser och utveckla posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD). En litteraturstudie gjordes för att undersöka vilken kvalitet evidensen för behandlingsformen Prolonged Exposure (PE-A) har för tonåringar, samt kliniska implikationer av den forskning som har gjorts. Sökningen efter litteratur resulterade i nio artiklar, fyra randomiserade kontrollerTeenagers are at high risk of being exposed to traumatic events and developing posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This literature study evaluates the evidence for one of the treatment protocols, Prolonged Exposure for Adolecescents (PE-A), as well as looking at the clinical implications of the studies that have been done. Reviews in databases resulted in nine articles, four of them were randomi

For modern large scale cloud services a fast and reliable anomaly detection is of utmost importance. Traditionally developers perform simple keyword search, for keywords such as "error" or "fail" in the log data, one of the main data sources that depicts the state of the system. In today’s large-scale systems however several TB of log messages can be output every day making man

Kristna och muslimer har levt sida vid sida i knappt ett och ett halvt årtusende i Egypten. Under de islamiska väldena betraktades de kristna som ahl al-Kitab. De kristnas status under denna period var en del av islamisk shari’a. I det moderna Egypten har två kulturer mötts, den västerländska och den islamisk-arabiska. Den västerländska kulturen var överlägsen, ekonomiskt, vetenskapligt och militäDialogue between Islam and Christianity is of great importance today. Some people consider Islam as the enemy of the World. At the same time the Muslim fundamentalist groups consider themselves as the only true Islam struggling against injustice and the western capitalist world order. The encounter between Islam and Christianity in Egypt is of great importance because these religions have coexis

A theoretical study is presented, in which the nonlinear response of a bi-ased Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) is calculated. The calculations are based on the nonequilibrium Green’s function formalism. Assuming a periodic electromagnetic field in the calculations, this formalism provides not only the stationary behavior Green’s functions, but also the part of the response that varies in time according

The thesis consists of a description of the waste management in Sweden today, related to a case study at IKEA’s warehouses in Älmhult. Waste is globally one of the most important environmental challenges. Waste management in Sweden has developed a lot during the past years and is now standing in front of the next big challenge: to reach higher up in the waste hierarchy. By studying the academic li

This report covers the design process of a master thesis project with the aim of developing concepts for diffusers. Diffusers are objects that have the ability of spreading the sound energy evenly in a room. The diffusers were to be suitable for use as interior objects in “ordinary rooms” (schools, hospital wards, and offices). The diffusers should, through their aesthetic expression, attract arch

Sustainable development is now a part of environmental, social, and economic agendas all over the world. Sustainability projects are cropping up in urban areas, including projects in the housing sector aimed at sustainable regeneration. Simultaneously, it is now recognized that public participation is an essential character of implementing change. And within sustainability participation, it is con

The aim of this study was to examine the aspect of power in the relationship between the personal assistant and the disabled person he or she works with (the user). The study was based on interviews with five personal assistants who worked for private companies that provided personal assistance. Seven themes were identified and discussed. These were: the users amount of control over the assistance

In today's ever changing business world, the competitiveness of organizations relies on employees' competencies, which entails the fact that employees' contributions become more valuable than ever before. The main purpose of the study was to identify which strategies are used by successful employees at Corporate Market in Síminn (an Icelandic company which handles telecommunications) i

A model of (Formula presented.) atmospheric transport in vegetated canopies is tested against measurements of the flow, as well as (Formula presented.) concentrations at the Norunda research station located inside a mixed pine–spruce forest. We present the results of simulations of wind-speed profiles and (Formula presented.) concentrations inside and above the forest canopy with a one-dimensional

Long-term mallard capture-recapture data from Sweden and Finland were analyzed to describe temporal mortality patterns and reasons. We used program MARK and Seber models to estimate annual survival (S) and recovery (r) rates. Survival rates were used in a Monte Carlo simulation to evaluate the correspondence between observed and predicted annual population sizes of a Finnish sub-population. About

Popular Abstract in Swedish Introduktion Aggressivt antisocialt beteende utgör en stor utmaning för dagens samhälle, och undersökningar av vad som ligger bakom ett återkommande sådant beteende behövs för utvecklingen av våldspreventiva insatser. Syften & Metod Syftet med avhandlingen var att identifiera faktorer som samvarierar med återkommande aggressivt antisocialt beteende. De specifika måIntroduction Aggressive antisocial behavior is a major challenge to society, and studies on the determinants of its persistence are essential to the development of strategies to prevent violence. Aims & Methods The overall aim of the thesis was to establish covariates of persistent aggressive antisocial behavior in a population-based cohort and in clinically evaluated, prospectively followed,

The conference series European Conference on Scientific Publishing in Biomedicine and Medicine (ECSP) was originated at the Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Sweden and was for the first time launched in Lund in 2006. The mission to be highly relevant for researchers was retained at the second meeting, hosted by University of Oslo, Library of Medicine and Health Sciences. The meeting focused o

While originally, protein-energy deficiency was considered the main factor of malnutrition, it is now understood that micronutrient deficiencies play a fundamental role in a variety of health and disease outcomes. Zinc and iron deficiencies are still highly prevalent in low-income countries, whereas insufficient intakes and diets with low mineral absorption are the major causes. Sustainable and fe

A youth care institution may seem like a sort of regulated home. It does not resemble a home in the sense of a private household, and the youth living there usually do not define it as a home, but it seems like a home in the sense of being a place where youth in treatment spend most of their days and nights. But is that what a home is? In many cases, people in modern societies are not supposed to

The paper describes a novel method for self tuning cylinder pressure based heat release computation that is suitable for online usage in e.g. combustion phasing control applications. The method estimates the polytropic exponents and cylinder pressure offsets immediately preceding and succeeding the combustion event respectively using a fast nonlinear least squares method. The polytropic exponent a
