Based on sequence and phylogenetic analyses, glycoside hydrolase (GH) 3 can be divided into several clusters that differ in the length of their primary sequences. However, structural data on representatives of GH3 are still scarce, since only three of their structures are known and only one of them has been thoroughly characterized-that of an exohydrolase from barley. To allow a deeper structural
Formal education has been proposed to shape life-long cognitive development. Studies reporting that gains from cognitive training transfer to untrained tasks suggest direct effects of mental activity on cognitive processing efficiency. However, associative memory practice has not been known to produce transfer effects, which is odd considering that the key neural substrate of associative memory, t
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) has anti-atherogenic properties and the plasma level of HDL cholesterol correlates inversely with the risk of coronary artery disease. The atheroprotective functions of HDL can be explained by its function in the reverse cholesterol transport. Blood coagulation is activated in response to tissue damage and involves a series of enzymatic protein complexes that assembl
Time resolved absorption spectroscopy has been used to study photoinduced electron injection and charge recombination in Zn-porphyrin sensitized nanostructured TiO(2) electrodes. The electron transfer dynamics is correlated to the performance of dye sensitized solar cells based on the same electrodes. We find that the dye/semiconductor binding can be described with a heterogeneous geometry where t
Sammanfattning Uppsatsen visar hur det politiska målet giftfri miljö genomförs när det gäller förorenade områden. Som bakgrund beskrivs dagens föroreningssituation och hur den uppkommit, vilka tekniker som finns för avhjälpande samt vilka riktlinjer som gäller för marken efter saneringen. Sedan redogörs för de olika möjligheter till avhjälpande av föroreningar som finns inom ramen för miljöbalken,
Primarily due to a massively overburdened docket, the European Court of Human Rights has been experiencing major challenges in the last decade. The crisis has prompted it to modify its procedures and one recent innovation at the Court is the pilot judgment procedure, which is a tool for dealing with systemic deficiencies in the Member States. This thesis assesses what the effects of the pilot judg
Drawing on a study of the Swedish Red Cross, the research intends to examine how individual volunteers identify themselves with the organization that has suffered from a public disgrace and how this has impacted their commitment. In the existing literature, volunteers’ organizational identification has been commonly theorized to predict their commitment, which draws our interest and concerns to fu
United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) from 1989 is based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In this paper we want to see how Save the Children Sweden relates to the CRC in their work. The material that has been used to compare and investigate Save the Children Sweden's project the Compass (2008) is their annual reports between 2008 and 2011. Reynaerts (et al.) C
Consumption of clothing, fashion and shopping has increased and the fashion industry is driven by the constant need for bigger profits while fashion consumption today is a major villain in the globalization debate. New shopping centers and malls are steadily built throughout Sweden, and the craving never seems appeased. But what is it that drives us to continually consume this excess amount of clo
Det styrande organet i europeisk fotboll, UEFA, har nyligen introducerat Financial Fair Play-regler som en del av det sedan tidigare existerande Club Licensing-systemet. Kärnan i Financial Fair Play reglerna är ett break-even-krav som tvingar de europeiska fotbollsklubbarna att leva efter sina resurser. Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera om Financial Fair Play-reglerna är förenliga med EU-rätten. The governing body of European football, UEFA, recently adopted the Financial Fair play rules as part of the previously existing Club Licensing system. The core provision of the Financial Fair Play rules are the break-even requirement, which forces the European football clubs to live within their means. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze whether the Financial Fair Play rules are compatible w
Denna studie ämnar öka förståelsen för studenters användande av dejtingapplikationen Tinder samt hur konsumtion och personlig marknadsföring kommer till uttryck på applikationen. Studien utgår från Tinderanvändarnas perspektiv och därmed har det empiriska materialet införskaffats via fokusgruppsintervjuer. Empirin tematiserades för att sedan kontextualiseras i analysen via följande teorier inom omThis study intends to increase the understanding of students' usage of the online dating application Tinder and how consumption and personal marketing manifests themselves on the application. This study was conducted from a user perspective and the empirical material has been acquired through focus group interviews, which subsequently were thematised. The empirical material was later contextua
Abstract Helsingborg is one of the coastal municipalities in Sweden that have experienced coastal flooding. This is a risk that may occur more frequently due to the current climate change. The purpose of this study is to examine how residents living near the coast in Helsingborg perceive the risks of climate change, if they have used any measures to protect themselves and their homes from this, a
Although Sweden is a relative small state by comparison they have participated in a large number of military interventions through out the past decades. This study investigates the motives and forces that drive Sweden to participate in this controversial activity. The study will use a theoretical approach from an international relations perspective to analyze three different cases. The basis for t
Syfte Uppsatsens syfte är att belysa förhållandet mellan varumärkens och konsumenters genusidentitet och brand image för att därmed bidra till teoribildningen kring begreppet brand image. Metod Studien ämnar skapa en förståelse utifrån konsumenters perspektiv snarare än att förklara dem. Den ontologiska ståndpunkten konstruktionism har därför tillämpats tillsammans med ett tolkningsperspektivPurpose The purpose of the study is to illuminate the relationship between brands’ gender identity, consumers’ gender identity and brand image in order to give a theoretical contribute within the brand image area. Methodology Our aim is to create an understanding from a consumer perspective rather than explain it; hence the ontological view constructionism has been applied together with an int
Microalgal feedstock are gaining more and more attention due to a wide range of potential and emerging commercial and industrial applications, from biofuel production to nutrition, cosmetics and pigment extraction among others. The presence and roles of mannans and endomannanases in three industrially relevant microalgaes were studied in this project. Chlorella vulgaris has seven putative endomann
