In the native bovine casein micelle the calcium sensitive caseins (alpha(S1)-, alpha(S2)- and beta-casein) sequester amorphous calcium phosphate in nanometer-sized clusters, whereas the calcium-insensitive K-casein limits the growth of the micelle. In this paper, we further investigate the self-association of kappa- and beta-casein, which are two of the key proteins that control the substructure o
The use of celestial or geomagnetic orientation cues can lead migratory birds along different migration routes during the migratory journeys, e.g. great circle routes (approximate), geographic or magnetic loxodromes. Orientation cage experiments have indicated that migrating birds are capable of detecting magnetic compass information at high northern latitudes even at very steep angles of inclinat
This study has evaluated the sampling density for creation of high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) for precision agriculture purposes. The relationships between yield and topographical factors were investigated in a study area located in the central Sweden province of Dalarna. The DEM data sampling was carried out with a RTK-GPS system. A dense sampling scheme was employed and data was
Atmospheric aerosol samples from a boreal forest (Hyytiala, April 2007), a rural site in Hungary (K-puszta, summer 2008), a polluted rural area in Italy (San Pietro Capofiume, Po Valley, April 2008), a moderately polluted rural site in Germany located on a meadow (Melpitz, May 2008), a natural park in Spain (Montseny, March 2009) and two urban background locations (Zurich, December 2008, and Barce
Atlantic salmon accumulate high levels of contaminants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their lipids during the adult growth phase spent at sea. The lipids are later utilized during migration for swimming and biological adaptations. We hypothesize that migrating salmons' biotransformation processes are affected by the high levels of built-up PCBs compared to salmon that in a pre-migrati
This review provides a comprehensive account of what is known presently about Amazonian aerosol particles and concludes by formulating outlook and priorities for further research. The review is organized to follow the life cycle of Amazonian aerosol particles. It begins with a discussion of the primary and secondary sources relevant to the Amazonian particle burden, followed by a presentation of t
Targino, A. C., Krecl, P., Johansson, C., Swietlicki, E., Massling, A., Coraiola, G. C. & Lihavainen, H. 2013: Deterioration of air quality across Sweden due to transboundary agricultural burning emissions. Boreal Env. Res. 18: 19-36. We analyzed measurements of aerosol and trace-gas concentrations from sites across Sweden before and during a series of agricultural wildland fires in eastern Eu
Lagen (1993:387) om stöd och service (LSS) till vissa funktionshindrade säkerställer att människor med funktionsnedsättning får anpassat stöd för att kunna leva ett självständigt liv och känna sig delaktig i samhället. Trots detta är diskriminering av ens funktionsnedsättning vanligt och beror på att människor handlar utifrån fördomar där okunskap är den främsta anledningen. I uppdraget av Lunds k
Enligt nationella föreskrifter ska vindkraftverk över 150 m i totalhöjd markeras med högintensivt vitt blinkande ljus för att säkerställa att vindkraftverken är synliga för luftfarten. Samtidigt som hinderbelysningen är viktig för flygsäkerheten kan dock ljuset upplevas som störande av närboende. Syfte med denna studie är därför att utreda konflikten mellan vindkraftsetableringar och närboendes häAccording to national regulations, wind turbines over 150 m in total height must be marked with high-intensity white flashing light to ensure that the wind turbine is visible to aviation. However, while the obstacle lighting is important for aviation safety it can also be perceived as disturbing to nearby residents. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the conflict between wind po
Syftet med detta arbete var att designa och bygga en externt driven proteshand. Handen ska helst ha en eller flera funktioner som inte finns hos andra protester. Den mänskliga handen är väldigt komplex, den innehåller över 30 muskler och minst 18 leder. Jämförelsevis har en komplex och rörlig kommersiell protes fem aktuatorer och elva leder, men endast en eller två kontrollsignaler. Allt som allt The purpose of the thesis was to design and build an externally powered prosthetic hand. The hand should preferably have one or more new functionalities not found in other prostheses. The human hand is very complex, it contains over 30 muscles and at least 18 joints. In comparison, a complex and dexterous commercial prostheses has five actuators and eleven joints, but only one or two control signa
Humanitära interventioner är ett väl debatterat ämne inom internationell rätt. Det är ett ämne som väcker stora känslor och diskussioner bland jurister samt inom och emellan stater världen över. När det gäller legaliteten av humanitära interventioner finns det mycket material att tillgå, dock övergår diskussionen sällan i det som egentligen är viktigast: Borde humanitära interventioner vara lagligHumanitarian interventions is a well debated subject within international law. When it comes to the legality of humanitarian interventions the international community is divided and a lot of material regarding such interventions can be found. Unfortunately, the discussion rarely turns to the more important question: Should humanitarian interventions be legal under contemporary international law? T
This project is set at the crossing of two burning topics of our time: the often ignored problematics of displaced people around the world; and the recently much more debated question of global warming. That these seemingly diverse thematics are deeply connected with each other becomes clear just by reading the IPCC* report from 2007 on global warming. As this report suggests, the real danger lies
In this thesis the relationship between socioeconomic equality and democratic consolidation is evaluated through a case study of Bolivia. The country is one of the poorest in the Latin American region and has suffered a large degree of socioeconomic inequality. The country ended the transition to democracy in 1985 and has since then met challenges in consolidating the democracy and create stable p
Retroaktivitetsförbudet inom skatterätten instiftades 1980 och innebär ett förbud mot att införa skattelag med retroaktiv verkan. Inspirationen kom från straffrätten i vilken principen om förbud mot retroaktiv lag länge hade varit förhärskande. Retroaktivitetsförbudet har med sin ställning som grundlag hög formell status i det svenska rättsväsendet vilket borde borga för att både domstolar och la
The purpose of this thesis was to contribute to a more holistic understanding of youth experiences under the phenomenon of societal transitions caused by processes of modernization. Bhutan has been subjected to major changes in terms of economic development, political and societal transitions. The group mostly associated with this modernization and globalization process is the youth living in the
The aim of this thesis is to investigate double taxation treaties impact on intermediate trade. Based on a panel data sample of five partner countries and 39 reporter countries over the period 1990-2012, the impact of signing DTTs on imports of intermediate trade in goods between two countries is analysed through a Gravity model. The main results show that DTT signing is associated with an increas
This collaborative statement from the International Society for Holter and Noninvasive Electrocardiology/ Heart Rhythm Society/ European Heart Rhythm Association/ Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society describes the current status of mobile health ("mHealth") technologies in arrhythmia management. The range of digital medical tools and heart rhythm disorders that they may be applied to and clinical dec
nvestigating the Swedish stock market, we find value stocks to have significantly outperformed growth stocks during the period of 1993 to 2017. As value stocks are found to be riskier during bad states of the economy, the existence of the value premium can be partly attributed to time-varying risk. Value betas are anticyclical, while growth betas exhibit a procyclical pattern. Controlling for time
