The recognition of carbohydrates by proteins is a fundamental aspect of communication within and between living cells. Understanding the molecular basis of carbohydrate-protein interactions is a prerequisite for the rational design of synthetic ligands. Here we report the high- to ultrahigh-resolution crystal structures of the carbohydrate recognition domain of galectin-3 (Gal3C) in the ligand-fre
Abstract Det har i ett antal internationella undersökningar framkommit att HBT- personer har sämre hälsa än heterosexuella. I den förbindelsen har syftet med denna uppsats varit att diskutera kring vilka åtgärder som är möjliga för att förändra denna ohälsa, där jag har koncentrerat mig på särlösning kontra integrationsteorier. Jag har inriktat mig på lesbiska och bisexuella kvinnor inom HBT- omr
MAX-lab is a national synchrotron radiation facility in Lund. Nowadays, the MAX project consist of three facilities (three storage rings). A new storage ring is needed to improve material science, such as nanotechnology. MAX IV, also in Lund, will be 100 times more efficient than already existing synchrotron radiation facilities. The storage ring is controlled by a large number of magnets that are
Popular science summary Comparison of ectoparasite load on barnacle geese (Branta leucopsis) in arctic and temperate regions Some birds winter in warm regions, but breed in the arctic. This long migration takes up a lot of energy, which leaves scientists wonder why birds undertake this journey. One of the many hypotheses to explain it, is that there are fewer parasites in the arctic. Therefore,
Abstract Author: Lena Källström Title: “Conversations about suffering in social work” (Translated title) Supervisor: Christina Erneling Assessor: The aim of this thesis is to investigate how social workers conceptualise, name, relate to and understand the suffering s/he encounters when meeting clients, both from the perspective of self and the other. The study investigates the view of the indiv
I detta examensarbete åtar jag mig uppgiften att analysera bevisteori gällande svensk straffprocessrätt utifrån ett kunskaps- och vetenskapsteoretiskt perspektiv. Härvid försöker jag först besvara frågan om vilka idéer eller föreställningar om kunskap som kommer till uttryck i bevisteorin. Jag gör dock inte anspråk på någon uttömmande uppräkning av dessa, utan vill snarare ge en översikt över ett In this graduate thesis I set out to analyze Swedish evidence theory (as it pertains to procedural law in criminal cases) using epistemology and philosophy of science. In doing so, I have attempted to answer question of which ideas or concepts, borrowed from these two disciplines, can be found in Swedish evidence theory, whether explicit or implicit. On this account, it has not been my aim to give
Sammanfattning Spridningsrätten ger upphovsrättsinnehavaren en ensamrätt att tillåta eller förbjuda all slags spridning till allmänheten, genom försäljning eller på annat sätt. Rätten att kontrollera spridningen är bunden till fysiska exemplar. Konsumtion av spridningsrätten är en inskränkning av upphovsmannens spridningsrätt och benämns som konsumtionsprincipen. När ett exemplar av ett verk med Abstract The distribution gives the rights-holder an exclusive right to authorise or prohibit any form of distribution to the public by sale or otherwise. The right to control the distribution is tied to tangible objects. Exhaustion of the distribution right limits the rights-holder distribution right and is named the exhaustion principle. When a work with the consent of the right-holder is trans
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) mass yields were tested for six combinations of two anthropogenic volatile organic compounds (AVOC); m-xylene & toluene, and three biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOC); α-pinene, myrcene & isoprene. The purpose was to investigate any non-additive results in SOA formation from mixtures of AVOCs and BVOCs by comparing experimental yield with correspondin
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur avvägningen mellan effektivitet och rättssäkerhet i förarbetena till skattetillägget kommit att påverka hur dagens skattetillägg fungerar i praktiken vid Skatteverkets kontrollverksamhet avseende tjänsteavdrag. Detta redogörs för genom att dagens regelverk och de förarbeten som legat till grund för skattetillägget analyseras i förhållande till effektivThe purpose of this essay is to investigate how the trade-off between efficiency and rule of law during the legislation processes for the tax surcharge has come to affect how today's tax surcharge works in practice regarding the Swedish Tax Agency's monitoring of tax deductions for work-related expenses made by natural persons. This essay will examine this through analyzing today's reg
Based on the European commission, climate change has become a serious threat for all aspects of our lives, urgent action needs to be taken. All the industries need to monitor their contributions, among them the building industry has the highest emission (European Commission) This study aims to compare energy efficiency and global warming potential (GWP fossil) emission in two ventilation systems i
The purpose of this essay is to compare the sacrifice story in Gen 22 with rabbinical commentaries on the binding of Isaac (Aqedah). More specifically, I want to examine what it is in the text of Gen 22 that may have influenced and inspired the early rabbinic tradition of Aqedah; that all subsequent animal sacrifices received its force and validity from the profits that Isaac won by his sacrifice.
Learning partnerships are becoming increasingly common for municipalities to fulfill their roles as important actors in adaptive governance regimes for sustainability. However, there is little theoretical guidance for municipalities, endangering the effectiveness of partnerships. The Ball-Bearing Framework used in this thesis is one of the first attempts to understand inter-municipal partnerships,
Abstract The aim of this study was to make a survey of different perspectives on “voluntary” prostitution in Thailand, which we tried to accomplish by semi structured interviews with people who, in some way, were connected with the field. Their occupations stretch from a student writing his thesis to a human rights lawyer. This study has centered around four areas concerning prostitution in Thaila
Monte Carlo-simuleringar har fått en ökad betydelse som forskningsverktyg inom nuklearmedicinsk bildgivning eftersom man på ett mycket kontrollerat sätt kan studera nästan vad man vill. I denna studie har datorsimuleringar av ett PET-system gjorts med ett program som heter GATE. PET (Positron Emission Tomography) är en nuklearmedicinsk bildgivningsteknik som används mer och mer inom sjukvården sIntroduction: Monte Carlo simulation is a powerful tool in research in the field of nuclear medicine imaging and there is a wide area of applications.

Methods. A population-based, national cohort of parturients and their infants was investigated. During 1 calendar week in 2005 all women giving birth (n=1,754) were requested to participate in the study
Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has modest specificity for prostate cancer. A panel of four kallikrein markers (total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and kallikrein-related peptidase 2) is a highly accurate predictor of biopsy outcome. The clinical significance of biopsy-detectable cancers in men classified as low-risk by this panel remains unclear. Methods: The Malmo Diet and Cancer study
Introduction. The European Multiple System Atrophy-Study Group (EMSA-SG) is an academic network comprising 23 centers across Europe and Israel that has constituted itself already in January 1999. This international forum of established experts under the guidance of the University Hospital of Innsbruck as coordinating center is supported by the 5th framework program of the European Union since Marc
This paper analyses the nature and scale of transaction costs (TCs) borne by obliged parties under a "Tradable White Certificate" (TWC) scheme. Taking the first phase of the Energy Efficiency Commitment (EECl) in Great Britain as a case study, several sources of TCs were considered, such as search for information, persuasion of customers, negotiation with business partners, and measurement and ver
The expression and activities of constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in relation to insulin and glucagon secretory mechanisms were investigated in islets isolated from rats subjected to total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 10 d. TPN is known to result in significantly increased levels of plasma lipids during the infusion time. In comparison with isl
The principal fate during litter decomposition and mineralization is rather well established only for a limited number of elements, mainly essential plant nutrients and a few potentially very toxic metals. Elements which occupy the majority of the positions in the periodical system seems almost unknown in this context. The objectives were, therefore to assess differences in the behavior of 58 mine
