Oxidative stress has been implicated as an important factor in the progression of many diseases. An imbalance in the redox-system may cause oxidation of cells and molecules, which might subsequently lead to tissue damage. The research presented in this thesis has focused on elucidating a possible involvement of the human protein alpha-1-microglobulin in the defence against pathological oxidation.
We are living in a changing society where businesses need to keep themselves updated and adapt to changing circumstances. Hence, some brands need to repo- sition themselves to survive. The purpose with repositioning is that a brand wants to convey a different identity and therefore create a new image and position in the consumer’s mind. However, one can only control the change of the identity sinc
Sustainable development “which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs,” (WCED 1987) is a global development objective of paramount importance. However, on the ground, ‘sustainable development’ is – in my experience – often little more than a buzzword for securing grants. From a strong sus-tainability standpoint, this thesis doc
Title: Education and working life of music teachers, a study of the music teacher education at the Malmö Academy of Music - from a theoretical and practical perspective. The purpose of this study is to examine the possible flaws within the single subject music teacher education. The study is based on qualitative interviews of four informants, two recently graduated music teachers, and two represen
A novel strategy is presented for designing peptides with specific metal-ion chelation sites, based on linking computationally predicted ion-specific combinations of amino acid side chains coordinated at the vertices of the desired coordination polyhedron into a single polypeptide chain. With this aim, a series of computer programs have been written that 1) creates a structural combinatorial libra
Det strängaste straff en person kan dömas till för brott i vårt land är en vistelse i fängelse. I Sverige har vi en relativt humanitär kriminalvård med permissioner som ett mycket viktigt inslag i fängelsevistelsen för att göra den mindre artificiell och för att underlätta återanpassningen till samhället. Men, som en allmän reflektion under arbetets gång får jag nämna att det tycks krävas oerhört
The masters thesis The particular politics of the home - domestication and parental practices of digital games in everyday life aims at providing a closer look at how games played on phones, consoles or computers are regulated within the everyday of family life. Through semi-structured interviews with nine parents, the author creates understanding for how digital games are not only tied to the mor
Morphology, structure and chemistry have been investigated for 17 different commercial graphenegrades,all labeled as different kinds of graphene powder. For objectivity reasons, all powders have been given names as Graphene A-Q instead of their real product names. Out of the 17 tested powders, only Graphene A and B showed consistent results of being graphene-like. All powders have been characteriz
Syftet med denna uppsats är att ur ett europeiskt perspektiv analysera Högsta domstolens position angående prövning av skiljedomar med konkurrensrättsliga frågeställningar. Skiljeförfarandet spelar en nyckelroll inom internationellt näringsliv mycket genom sin förmåga att på ett skyndsamt sätt framställa en slutgiltig, bindande och internationellt verkställbar skiljedom. Genom sitt domslut i Eco The aim of this thesis is to analyse from a European perspective the position of the Swedish Supreme Court on the review of arbitral awards regarding issues of competition law. Arbitration plays a crucial role in the field of international commerce largely due to its ability to expediently present to the parties a final, binding and internationally enforceable award. In the Eco Swiss judgement,
Uppsatsen syftar till att bidra till en vidareutveckling av begreppet arbetsmiljö då det skett stora förändringar på arbetsmarknaden. Stressrelaterade sjukdomar och arbetsplats-olyckor blir allt vanligare och det krävs därför ett tydligare humanistiskt och människo-rättsligt perspektiv på begreppet arbetsmiljö. För detta har de risker som kan leda till ar-betsskador undersökts. För att få en bild The essay aims to contribute to the further development of the concept of the working environment as there have been major changes in the labor market. Stress-related diseases and workplace accidents are becoming more common and therefore a clearer humanistic and human rights perspective on the concept of working environment is required. For this, the risks that can lead to work injuries have been
Since April 2017, legislation fining people in ‘encampments’ in public spaces was enacted in Copenhagen. This regulation was tightened by July 2018 be-coming an effective ban, where the subject of the fine was expelled from the administrative limits of the municipality. The measure comes as an ineffective way to deal with homelessness as it does not address the conditions that lead to it, working
Responses to combating worsening climate change are legitimized through narratives employed in government policy which build on existing master narratives about climate change produced in the subpolitics of international mega-science mainly influenced by IPCC as an expert authority. In Sweden the climate law forces the government to produce a Climate Policy Action Plan (CPAP) every four years that
Objective: To redesign the current assembly process of the Ektorp Sofa from IKEA in order to improve cycle times, quality levels and to reduce, if possible, costs associated with manufacturing, production times and materials. IKEA wants to increase either the productivity or the quality standard of the Ektorp Sofa by simplifying the processes involved in the construc-tion of the sofa and modernizi
This consensus statement is the product of the Second International Think Tank on Athlete Mental Health, held on the initiative of the International Society of Sport Psychology. The purposes of the Think Tank were to engage international sport psychology societies and organisations in a discussion about athlete mental health as embedded in an Olympic/Paralympic cycle, and to develop practical reco
Tadpoles from two types of ponds, temporary and permanent, were raised in a common garden experiment. There was no clear effect of pond type on development rate (time for metamorphosis). From each sibship, one group was raised under a constant water regime (deep tanks) and one was subject to simulated pond drying (shallow tanks). The tadpoles exhibited a plastic response to pond drying: they metam
