The following study focuses on the role of the Swedish mainstream media in constructing stereotypes and public opinion in regards to the issues of gender and the identity of immigrant minorities in Swedish society. The case of the honour killing of Fadime Shaindal is used to demonstrate the significance of media reporting in generating a social discourse concerning crime and its relation to cultur
The heterodimer HIF-1α (hypoxia inducible factor)/HIF-β (also known as ARNT-aryl hydrocarbon nuclear translocator) is a key mediator of cellular response to hypoxia. The interaction between these monomer units can be modified by the action of small molecules in the binding interface between their C-terminal heterodimerization (PasB) domains. Taking advantage of the presence of several cysteine res
The role of K396 in the enzymatic catalysis and the antigenicity of the 65 kDa isoform of glutamate decarboxylase (GAD65) was analyzed using the K396R GAD65 mutant. GAD65 is a major autoantigen in Type 1 diabetes and autoantibodies directed to GAD65 are widely used markers for this disease. We found that (1) recombinant human GAD65 is fully enzymatically active; (2) the K396R mutation abolished GA
Heparan sulfate 3-O-sulfotransferase transfers sulfate to the 3-OH position of a glucosamine residue of heparan sulfate (HS) to form 3-O-sulfated HS. The 3-O-sulfated glucosamine residue contributes to two important biological functions of HS: binding to antithrombin and thereby carrying anticoagulant activity, and binding to herpes simplex viral envelope glycoprotein D to serve as an entry recept
Planning and execution of large infrastructure projects benefit from detailed mapping of the subsurface through geophysical methods. However applying geophysical methods in an urban environment requires careful preparation to ensure success in areas where source of noise and present infrastructure may compromise the results. We present and discuss the results of a seismic investigation conducted i
It is a well-known fact that sustainable development goals are difficult to achieve without a proper water resources management strategy. This study tries to implement some state-of-the-art statistical and data mining models i.e., weights-of-evidence (WoE), boosted regression trees (BRT), and classification and regression tree (CART) to identify suitable areas for artificial recharge through flood
The influence of amino acid sequence and structural context on the backbone dynamics of EF-hand calcium-binding loops was investigated using 15N spin relaxation measurements on the calcium-free state of the calbindin D(9k) mutant (A14D+A15Δ+P20Δ+N21G+P43M), in which the N-terminal pseudo- EF-hand loop, characteristic of S100 proteins, was engineered so as to conform with the C-terminal consensus E
This thesis explores the question of whether European States, with a specific emphasis on European Union (EU) Member States, can be held responsible for the enforced disappearance of migrants in the Mediterranean Sea under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Following the migration crisis of 2015, EU policy and measures on migration revealed a strong focus on protecting the external bo

The paper addresses the question of whether there is a correlation between the grammatical developmental level and the lexical developmental level in the written production of learners of French as a foreign language. We have applied a number of quantitative and lexical measures and one grammatical measure to 40 texts in French written by two groups Swedish adults with different proficiency levels
A welfare state consists of a variety of client organisations withinwhich, among other professions, academics and social workers areactive. Social work as a profession has developed in a welfare contextwhere changes at the different levels of the individual, organisationand society constantly pose new challenges to the profession.When a society undergoes a total transformation, this also affectshi
