Co-production between public administrators and citizens has attracted renewed interest in recent years. Co-production is predominantly perceived as something desirable and is claimed to improve service efficiency and outcome and user satisfaction, at the same time as addressing democratic ideals. Drawing from interviews with public administrators and patients in a Swedish healthcare context, this

At the onset of the pandemic, Brazil’s Federal government approved an emergency basic income to be transferred to a variety of groups that had not earlier received any of the established welfare programs. Its implementation was however riddled with challenges. With a large informal economy, many Brazilian citizens were missing from the Federal Government’s registry and, even if registered, many di

Subcellular membrane systems are highly enriched in dolichol, whose role in organelle homeostasis and endosomal-lysosomal pathway remains largely unclear besides being involved in protein glycosylation. DHDDS encodes for the catalytic subunit (DHDDS) of the enzyme cis-prenyltransferase (cis-PTase), involved in dolichol biosynthesis and dolichol-dependent protein glycosylation in the endoplasmic re

Vad är ursprunget till grundämnena i universum? Detta är ett utav fysikens största mysterium. Nästan hundra år sedan framkom idéen om att universum skapades i en enorm explosion känd som Big Bang. Ett tiotal sekunder efter Big Bang bestod universum av en blandning av partiklar bestående av bland annat neutroner och protoner. Under universums expansion minskade den enorma temperaturen och, likt mor

In the city of Helsingborg, Sweden, sustainable urban development is currently permeating the municipality’s work on all levels. The current understanding of sustainability in Helsingborg aims at simultaneously counteracting the ecological crisis contributing to economic growth and social justice. In line with Erik Swyngedouw’s theories, this thesis shows that the current conceptualisation of sust

Fotosyntetiserande växter, alger och bakterier fångar in och omvandlar solenergi till kemisk energi. Själva ljusinfångningen involverar olika pigment, varav de mest kända är de gröna klorofyllmolekylerna som förekommer i olika varianter (varav två varianter kallade klorofyll A respektive B förekommer hos högre växter). De ljusinfångande pigmenten inkluderar även de mer mångtaliga karotenoiderna, ePhotosynthetic organisms harvest and convert light energy into chemical energy and utilize it in their metabolism. The light is captured through pigments called chlorophylls and carotenoids, present in the thylakoid membranes inside the chloroplast. In addition to acting as auxiliary light harvesters, the carotenoids also act as antioxidants by 1) preventing the formation of reactive oxygen specie

Urban populations are growing rapidly with several environmental and social effects in the process. At a governance level, resources go from being regulated by federal and state institutions into being considered urban areas governed by the local government. Nevertheless, this can neglect the enforcement of existing laws for many reasons that deteriorate urban resources due to a rivalry in the typ
