Background: Genome and transcriptome sequencing has greatly facilitated the understanding of biomass-degrading mechanisms in a number of fungal species. The information obtained enables the investigation and discovery of genes encoding proteins involved in plant cell wall degradation, which are crucial for saccharification of lignocellulosic biomass in second-generation biorefinery applications. T
Objective: To assess the mid-term outcomes and feasibility of branched endovascular repair (b-EVAR) of ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (rTAAAs). Methods: All patients undergoing b-EVAR of rTAAAs between 2011 and 2016 were included. Pre-, intra and postoperative imaging was reviewed to assess technical success, outcomes, and feasibility of b-EVAR in the emergent setting. Results: Eleven
The merger of the head offices of two public service organizations in Sweden was used to examine differences in the meanings that employees attach to the organizations involved and their expectations of the new merged organization, nine months prior to the merger. A two-stage methodology was used, combining the repertory grid method with a survey questionnaire based on the elicited constructs. Pre

Children’s participation could seem to be an obvious ingredient in social services child protection investigations. Children’s rights to make their voice and opinion heard and to affect the decisions that involve them is stated in law, conventions and other regulations. Despite this, a lot of previous studies show that children’s rights often are forgotten or non-prioritized in social services. Th
In large and/or complex buildings, which can contain a lot of people, it’s important to ensure that evacuation in case of fire or other threats can be performed safely. In this report, the possibility to use Microsoft Kinect v2 for evacuation is examined to determine whether it can be used to provide dynamic crowd management systems and rescue services with information. This is done by an initial
Three-part parenting is an approach that social services in Sweden should use in collaboration around a child placed in foster care. It describes how foster home, parents and social services share responsibilities for the welfare of the child. The purpose of this study was to illuminate the state of knowledge about the approach among social workers working with children and adolescents in Sweden.
Since the 1800’s the agriculture has changed and intensified significantly, going from small scale farming to large homogenous arable landscapes with fewer grazing animals, more fertilizers and pesticides. In Sweden, this pattern of intensification has been very distinct, especially in Scania, which today is dominated by plains. This has left substantial changes in the surrounding ecosystems, affe
This thesis examines the relationship between financial development and economic growth. By reviewing previous theories and empirical studies about financial development and economic growth and financial development process in China, I assumed that there is a positive relationship between financial development and economic growth in China case. Then I use time series annual data from 1978 to 2009
Om en varumärkesinnehavare har intresse av att upprätthålla registreringen av sitt varumärke måste detta användas på ett vis, vilket uppfyller det så kallade användningstvångets krav. Dessa krav är i huvudsak desamma oavsett om varumärkesanvändning bedöms mot bakgrund av EU:s varumärkesdirektiv eller EU:s varumärkesförordning. Syftet är att i denna uppsats ge läsaren insikt i hur en varumärkesinneIf a proprietor of a trade mark has an interest in maintaining the registration of its trade mark, the proprietor must use the trade mark in such a manner that it constitutes genuine use. It should be noted that the requirements of use are essentially the same regardless of whether the assessment of use is done in light of the EU trade mark directive or the EU regulation concerning Community trade
En proglacial miljö är en integrerad del av ett glacialt landskap, där smältvattensavlagrade landformer är vanligt förekommande. Deras utseende är beroende av ett antal olika faktorer, så som processer aktiva under transport och deposition samt ursprungsmaterialets karaktär. Denna artikel syftar till att undersöka två terrestra smältvattens-successioner från de terminala delarna av glaciären MyrdaProglacial environments are an integrated part of the glacier landscape, housing a variety of landforms fed by glacier meltwater. Their appearance is dependent on a number of factors, such as the variability of source material and processes active during the transportation and deposition. The present work aims to investigate two such terrestrial outwash successions from the terminus region of the
The aim of this master thesis is to study if the websites of the Swedish public libraries are accessible to all people. According to the library law all people must have access to the public libraries and their information services. Today, when the Internet is one of the largest sources of information, it is important that all people, including those with different kind of disabilities, children,

It is a study of the commodification of body and affect in a field organized around commercial exchange and builds on participant observations in stores and thirty interviews with workers in different fields of retail (fashion, perfume, home electronic and diy-stores). Retailing is a part of the service economy that is sig
This essay examines the volatility spillover effects from oil price shocks across different US and EU industries, using a GJR-GARCH(1,1) model. We conclude that the European industries are much more sensitive to oil and stock market shocks compared to their US counterparts. In US, oil news have significant effect only on Basic Materials, Industrials, Utilities and Consumer Services and coefficient
Photosynthesis provides carbon for the synthesis of macromolecules to construct cells during growth. This is the basis for the key role of photosynthesis in the carbon dynamics of ecosystems and in the biogenic CO2 assimilation. The development of eddy-covariance (EC) measurements for ecosystem CO2 fluxes started a new era in the field studies of photosynthesis. However, the interpretation of the
Aims and objectives: To describe ways in which children's best interests were observed to be expressed in paediatric settings during their hospital visit.Background: The best interests of the child are embodied in national and international legal systems, although the definition remains problematic. The child's limited autonomy mandates duty bearers to have both a child perspective and the child's
Background The clinical distinction between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is sometimes difficult, particularly in mild cases. Although CSF markers such as amyloid beta 42 (A beta 42) and P-tau can distinguish between AD and normal controls, their ability to distinguish between AD and DLB is not adequate. Objective This study aims to investigate whether CSF markers, i
Video conferencing is a very bandwidth sensitive application, if the available bandwidth is to low to handle the send rate of the media, packages will be lost in the network and thus the conference will be disrupted. Axis Communications would like to know which techniques are used today to ensure optimized bandwidth usage and as good quality as possible during a video conference even if the networ
This study deals with the issue of how music can affect the religious experience of people who sing in choirs in the Church of Sweden. It is established that music plays a great importance in people’s every-day lives, and that it has various effects on us, for instance how it can soothe a person who is agitated or the way it can induce fright, compassion, anger or happiness. Music occupies a large
