Abstract: The importance of dietary fatty acids (FAs), in particular omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated (PUFAs), for immune system functions has been recognised and well-studied in mammals over the last decades. Recent studies suggest that similar positive/negative (e.g. strengthened/weakened immune com-petence) effects can be present in avian species. In this study, I explored these effects of ω
Increasing urbanization and the commodification of housing have contributed to limited availability of affordable housing in many cities worldwide. Marked-based rent regulations and the redevelop-ment of post-industrial harbor districts have given rise to the emergence of new-build gentrification in many cities. Sweden, formerly known for its social democratic and welfare state policies, has under
Title: The mediating role of Organizational Capabilities between Environmental Regulations and Environmental Innovation. Keywords: Environmental Innovation, Organizational Capabilities, Environmental Regulations. Research question: How do environmental regulations impact environmental innovation through organizational capabilities? Methodology: This research has been conducted through a singl
Samerna är urfolket i fyra länder i de norra delarna av Europa: Finland, Norge, Ryssland och Sverige. Denna uppsats behandlar deras rättsliga ställning i Finland och Sverige. Fokus ligger på de ur folkrätten härstammande och för urfolk centrala begreppen självstyre och självbestämmanderätt, och hur dessa rättigheter har behandlats i Finland respektive Sverige. Särskilt behandlas, och jämförs, länd
Pappers- och pappersmassaindustrin har ökat markant under de senaste årtiondena. På grund av att samhället har blivit mer miljömedvetet har återvinning av papper blivit en allt viktigare del inom industrin. Återvunna pappersfiber är dock av lägre kvalité än nygjorda fibrer. Syftet med denna rapport är att analysera möjligheterna att använda ett enzym av typen lackas för att modifiera interaktionen
This thesis closely examines Reborn-Art Festival, a new arts and culture festival inaugurated during the summer of 2017 in one of the regions hardest hit by the triple disaster that devastated the northeastern coastline of Japan in 2011. In the face of an unspeakable tragedy like the Great East Japan Earthquake art may not seem like a central concern, but this thesis focuses on that subject specif
The health effects of migration receive increased attention in Sweden and internationally, and involves both the effects on the health of migrants and the society. The field encompasses issues such as how migrants’ health is affected by the hazardous journey, if the health needs differ from the host population and if migration have any consequences for public health in the recipient country. These
The phenomenon “see now, buy now” results from the impact of the digitalization on the fashion system. By using “see now, buy now”, fashion houses make their collections available to consumers immediately after a fashion show. In comparison, consumers have to wait for six months until the collections are made available under the traditional fashion system. “See now, buy now” was used for the first
China has over the last decades clearly increased its foreign direct investments (FDI) in Africa. This has gained public attention and the question has been raised whether China’s growing investments could be harmful for the local African economy. This study examines if China’s FDI in Africa has affected the African countries’ total product export. This is analyzed more in detail by investigating
Today, the discussion regarding the environmental degradation is more active and pressing than ever. In Paris 2015, world leaders signed Agenda 2030, binding them to actively work to keep the global temperature increase below 2 degrees Celsius. This agreement also targets the need for sustainable energy for all humans. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate whether FDI has an effect on the consu
The purpose of the thesis relates to the Quality anomaly observed in the US equity market, where stocks with Quality characteristics tend to outperform and have higher risk adjusted returns. By dissecting the Quality anomaly, the thesis aims to analyze the drivers of the over performance of Quality and investigate the presence of a systematic Quality premium. From previous research, three areas ha
Many companies today have a security system containing of devices such as cameras and other devices with some trigger functionality built in. It’s essential to be able to control all existing triggers in a security system for it to work flawlessly. As the number of triggers increases, the security system in question becomes more complicated to configure. Therefore, making configuration from an eas
Injection into the two MAX IV storage rings will not make use of a 4-kicker local injection bump. Instead, pulsed multipole injection will be used for initial filling as well as top-up injection. Since commissioning a pulsed multipole magnet for injection into a storage ring is non-trivial, it has been decided to install a single dipole kicker magnet into the storage rings to provide a simple meth
Abstract: Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show how different approaches to information literacy, such as are mediated through web-based tutorials, are used as tools in negotiating the information-seeking expertise of university librarians. Design/methodology/approach – A textual analysis of 31 web-based Scandinavian tutorials for information literacy has been conducted. The similarities
Background: Proteolytic Clostridium botulinum is the causative agent of botulism, a severe neuroparalytic illness. Given the severity of botulism, surprisingly little is known of the population structure, biology, phylogeny or evolution of C. botulinum. The recent determination of the genome sequence of C. botulinum has allowed comparative genomic indexing using a DNA microarray. Results: Whole ge
