The position of The People’s Republic of China in international relations has developed significantly during the 21st century. In Latin America, growing Chinese engagement has been particularly visible. The purpose of this thesis is to gain better understanding of China’s increasing influence in Latin America over time, examine possible power relations, as well as discuss if the country can be see
The family of proteins called galectins, are a group of carbohydrate-binding proteins. This allows them to take part in cell signalling by binding to glycoproteins on cell surfaces. Galectin-9 has been identified as a TIM3 ligand. TIM3 is a protein found on T-cells, which are used by the immune system to destroy for example cancer cells. When galectin-9 binds TIM3 it starts a reaction chain which
A housing adaptation (HA) can enable independent living in one's own home, but deciding to change the home environment can be a thought-provoking matter. The aim of this study was to explore the applicant's perspective and decision-making process when applying for an HA grant. Seventeen persons were interviewed about their application for such a grant, and the data were analyzed using a constant c
Kök är en grundläggande del av inredning i byggnader. Ett ökat fokus på hållbarhet i byggbranschen medför att det finns ett intresse att undersöka köks miljöprestanda. Genom att använda livscykelanalys (LCA) som verktyg undersöks tre olika bänkskivor (komposit, massivträ och laminat), en lucka, en stomme och även ett helt standardkök. En litteraturstudie om kundbeteende samt trender och drivkrafteKitchens are an essential part of the interior design in buildings. With the increased focus on sustainability in the building industry it is therefore of interest to investigate the environmental performance of kitchens. By using life cycle assessment (LCA) as a tool three different tabletops (composite, solid wood and laminate), a door, a frame as well as the entire standard kitchen are investig
Syftet med uppsatsen är att, med hänsyn till den gröna konsumtionen, undersöka vilka medel livsmedelsföretag kan arbeta med för att ompositionera sitt varumärke. Med syfte att få lågengagemangsprodukter att generera ett högre engagemang hos konsumenten utan att förändra den befintliga produkten. Metoden i uppsatsen är kvalitativ fallstudie i sitt naturliga sammanhang med induktiv ansats. Fyra cent
In pursuit of sustainable development within the building industry, there is a shift towards design strategies that are energy efficient and environmentally friendly. The European Commission has a goal of becoming climate-neutral by 2050 and the United Nations has also developed Agenda 2030 to aid in the reduction of the environmental impact. The city of Malmö has also developed a local plan for a
We report the discovery from K2 of a transiting planet in an 18.25-d, eccentric (0.19 ± 0.04) orbit around K2-99, an 11th magnitude subgiant in Virgo. We con- firm the planetary nature of the companion with radial velocities, and determine that the star is a metal-rich ([Fe/H] = 0.20 ± 0.05) subgiant, with mass 1.60+0.14 -0.10 M⊙ and radius 3.1 ± 0.1 R⊙. The planet has a mass of 0.97 ± 0.09 MJup a
One of the challenges of genetic testing in patients with hemophilia A is the interpretation of sequence variants. Here we report a silent variant found in exon 2 in the F8 gene in a 47-year-old patient with a previous von Willebrand disease (VWD) type 1 diagnosis. Clinically he had mild bleeding symptoms restricted to prolonged bleeding from minor wounds. Sanger sequencing of F8 gene using genomi
This study presents a digital solution for inducing visually-induced motion sickness (VIMS) using a head-mounted display (HMD) in a virtual environment. By digitally replicating off vertical axis rotation by adopting the Epley Omniax Chair, we induce sensory conflicts between the visual and vestibular systems through rotational vection, alongside optokinetic stimulation inspired by the Optoki-neti
This paper presents the results from a longitudinal study of the process of developing and implementing a method for risk assessment in a public sector organisation over a period of 3.5 years. The study explores how people involved in this process viewed factors influencing the implementation and what effects the risk management process gave rise to. While a large share of previous research on thi

Purpose: This article hypothesizes that designing cancer therapies based on the organ specific toxicity of the normal tissue of the organ from which the tumors originated could be worthwhile. A prerequisite for successful therapy is that the individual can recover from damage done to the organ or cells.Results: Therapeutic examples are given for lymphoma, kidney cancer, melanoma and leukemia.Concl
This thesis aims to contribute to the field of time controlled charge and energy transport in mesoscopic systems. In Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 a short review of the scattering matrix theory is presented, including both charge and energy transport, useful to understand the mathematical landscape used in Papers I, II, III and IV. Chapter 3 briefly presents the thermoelectric properties of m
