To characterize the gene activity that may be required for neuronal survival and regeneration, we used the Affymetrix GeneChip Mu74A to screen 12000 genes and expressed sequence tag (EST) mRNA from L4 and L5 mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRG) 12 h and 24 h after sciatic nerve transection. At 12 h, we found 17 upregulated transcripts, and at 24 h, 49 that met our criteria of a significant 2-fold incre
Problemformulering Pharmadule-Emtunga behöver upprätta en processkartläggning med tydliga gränsdragningar och fördelningar av olika ansvarsområden då det råder en avsaknad av en sådan kartläggning. Det centrala problemet för detta projekt är att processkartlägga Pharmadule-Emtungas produktion. Syfte Detta arbete syftar till att processkartlägga produktionen som ett led i företagets ISO 9001:2000
Arbetet handlar om pedagogikens roll för att underlätta bemötandet mellan vårdare och patient och därigenom åstadkomma lärande i riktning mot en förbättrad hälsa. I detta fall begränsas undersökningen till tandvården och mötet mellan tandhygienist och patient. Förutom att ha en god kunskap om tandvård och munhälsa krävs det att tandhygienister lyckas nå ut med sin information och i visa fall få pa
Freedom of expression and information is often upheld as a crucial component of a vital democracy. The decline of censorship is thus seen as a movement towards democratisation. The emergence of widespread use of the Internet has given new wind to the discussion about the relation between freedom of information and democracy. Information technology is seen as a tool for both strengthening establish
The purpose of this research was to find how young women in Bangkok spend their money, especially in terms of fashion consumption in the new context of globalized consumer society. The research was conducted through general observations and interviews with designers and fashion shop owners in order to find out their views of fashion and consumption among the young women in the city as well as thro
The purpose of this research was to investigate the potentiality of the Chinese market for olive oil and to assess how accessible China is for in particular small & medium sized companies in order to take the initiative on the market. The research departs from the CAP subsidy reforming European olive oil sector with 2,5 million producers on their way to a less trade distorted and more export m
The global mobility is constantly increasing and numerous of international groups have recognised the need for a dynamic workforce. In order to adapt to the international market and to widen the knowledge within a multinational group, employees are seconded between affiliated companies. The secondment of an employee puts several questions of taxation to the fore. Primarily, the issue as to where t
Purpose: The purpose of our thesis is to test theories surrounding the drivers of M&A; of their occurrence, size and affect, and from that derive their applicability on the European internet gambling industry. Methodology: This thesis uses deductive methods in which it tests theories with hypotheses by quantitative measures. Financial data have been gathered of companies in the internet gambli
This Letter reports a measurement of the W W production cross section in root s = 7 TeV pp collisions using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.02 fb(-1) collected with the ATLAS detector. Using leptonic decays of oppositely charged W bosons, the total measured cross section is sigma (pp -> W W) = 54.4 +/- 4.0 (stat.) +/- 3.9 (syst.) +/- 2.0 (lumi.) pb, consistent with the Standard
The jet fragmentation function and transverse profile for jets with 25 GeV < p(Tjet) < 500 GeV and |eta(jet)| < 1.2 produced in proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV are presented. The measurement is performed using data with an integrated luminosity of 36 pb(-1). Jets are reconstructed and their momentum measured using calorimetric information. The momenta of the charged
Rational Unified Process (RUP) är en systemutvecklingsmetod som tillhandahåller ett modifierbart tillvägagångssätt för hur man skall fördela uppgifter och ansvar inom ett systemutvecklingsprojekt. Syftet med denna studie har varit att undersöka om RUP verkligen bidrar till framgångsrik systemutveckling, och i så fall även till att identifiera de vitalaste faktorer som lett till denna framgång. Fok
The purpose of this master thesis is to explore IKEA’s return system and to suggest potential areas of improvement. The master thesis shall describe and identify the problems regarding handling material of the present return system, in order to suggest potential areas of improvement. This master thesis is an explorative study. Wide ranges of interviews were made and are the base of the study. Ob
The report aims to determine and explain differences in the cost structures of the Detailed Energy Audit-phase of Energy Performance Contracting-projects at Schneider Electrics Energy Solutions in Denmark and Sweden. Method: A longitudinal and a cross-dimensional study are conducted on eight projects. Quantitative data collected from project documentation and qualitative data acquired through inte
Sedan 2015 har Sverige en uttalat feministisk utrikespolitik, med målet att ett genusperspektiv ska genomsyra all politisk verksamhet. Parallellt med denna nya politiska inriktning fortsätter Sverige att exportera krigsmateriel till icke-demokratiska och konfliktdrabbade stater, något som har gett upphov till kritik. Genom att granska den statliga myndighet som ansvarar för beslut om krigsmateriel
The Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) of the European Union (EU) is based on the Member States’ foreign policy preferences. Several third states are however at times invited to align with certain CFSP acts, a procedure which provides the EU with support for its diplomatic efforts. The degrees to which these invited states align with CFSP acts differ substantially. This thesis has taken a b
The present perceptual learning study was conducted in an attempt to investigate to which extent naïve listeners’ L1 prosodic background affected their learning performance of a lexical tone language and whether an auditory-image (AI) training paradigm curtailed the online-learning process of lexical tones. Thirty-three Mandarin-naïve Swedish-native listeners (NS listeners) and 33 Mandarin-naïve E
This study investigates whether there is a correlation between separatism and state-wide integration in multi-nation states. The study is a comparative case-study conducted on the cases of Québécois separatism in Canada and Catalan separatism in Spain. The purpose of the study is to analyse separatism from the perspective of the state, in order to shed light on what a state can actively do in orde
From literature review a theoretical research model was developed describing the process for designing a performance measurement system fit for the company culture, strategic direction, and stakeholder perspective. Following the model, the definition of high performance for the department was investigated and success factors were formulated from interview results. These success factors were accord
