The reaction kinetics of Candida antarctica lipase B (CalB) in the commercially available preparation Novozym (R) 435 (N435) were compared to those of preparations of CalB immobilised on Accurel (R) MP1000 (porous polypropylene). Two polypropylene preparations were made using enzyme loadings of 0.2% and 2% (w/w). All three preparations were used in hydrolysis as well as transesterification of two

The deficiency or abnormal function of von Willebrand factor (VWF) causes von Willebrand disease (VWD), the most frequent inherited bleeding disorder. The laboratory diagnosis of VWD can be difficult as the disease is heterogeneous and an array of assays is required to describe the phenotype. Basic classification of quantitative (type 1 and 3) and qualitative (type 2) VWD variants requires determi

The aim of this study was to compare the conventional combination of three-dimensional dosimeter (nPAG gel) and readout method (MRI) with other combinations of three-dimensional dosimeters (nPAG gel/Presage (TM)) and readout methods (optical CT scanners). In the first experiment, the dose readout of a gel irradiated with a four field-box technique was performed with both an Octopus IQ scanner and

(Information in English below) Hej och god fortsättning! Hoppas du har njutit av en välförtjänt ledighet och kommer pigg och utvilad tillbaka till jobbet, för det är spännande och på sina ställen oroliga tider vi har framför oss. GU förändras och tyvärr inte bara i positiv riktning. Vissa delar av universitet och högskolor står inför nedskärningar av både resurser och personal, och GU går inte osk

Radiation protection is of importance for the general public, patients and personnel in many different situations: rare accidents involving ionizing radiation, medical examinations or work tasks in the medical clinic or nuclear industry to name a few. Optimization in radiation protection and limitation of radiation doses are essential to prevent overexposure and for reducing negative health conseq

Cambodia´s complicated political landscape has created a development context that the international community long struggled to navigate. In this paper I – through a theoretical framework that conceptualises a political context as a historically located totality and defines the quest for political legitimacy as a constraint that can be used to make inferences about the behaviour and actions prefer

The aim of this paper is to explore which skills and mindsets are necessary for successful leadership in the digital era. It is written for IKEA who are interested in remaining at the forefront of their industry by understanding how digitalisation affects their business and how to make the most of the opportunities it brings, one aspect of which is leadership. There is a gap in the existing knowle

Despite available vaccines, rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis remains to be an alarming cause of under-five mortality, especially in developing countries. Research on RV has been limited by the lack of faithful in vitro models that mimic virus-host interaction and RV pathogenesis in the intestine. Most recently, adult stem cell-derived organoids have advanced the understanding of the cellular mechani

With the ambitious objectives of the European Green Deal, offshore wind energy is especially an important sector of Europe’s renewable energy strategy. This thesis aims to clarify the intricate legal and regulatory structures governing offshore wind projects, with a particular focus on the permitting process in Denmark and Sweden, and to what extent it is aligned with the Renewable Energy Directiv

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancer forms in women and is a disease in need of improved biomarkers for detection and drug targets alike. Such molecules can be discovered by studying the proteome of the cells. Phosphoproteomic studies have become increasingly more popular as it has a high potential for mapping cell signaling and to find new signaling molecules for drug targeting. Currentl

Ungdomsbrottslighet har konsekvent varit föremål för diskussion. Frågan om hur samhället ska reagera mot ungdomsbrottslighet är en återkommande fråga. I förevarande uppsats följer en historisk utveckling av vilka straffrättsliga frihetsberövande påföljder som funnits för barn. Med hjälp av den kriminalpolitiska utvecklingen beträffande synen på ungdomsbrottslighet ger uppsatsen ett perspektiv på vYouth crime has consistently been the subject of debate. The question of how society should react to juvenile offences is an ongoing debate. This paper follows the historical development of the criminal law sanctions related to the deprivation of liberty for children. With the help of the development of criminal policy regarding the view of juvenile offences, the paper provides a perspective on wh

This thesis attempts to understand how digital representations of the body understand and mediate the digital and Real body. In order to approach this inquiry, this thesis will engage with and compare debates regarding the semiotic register of the index, and how it has been understood in relation to analogue photography versus digital media. This inquiry will be guided by an investigation into the

The direct involvement of S100 calcium-binding proteins A8 (S100A8) and A9 (S100A9) in numerous human diseases have been discovered more than 20 years ago, and they have ever since emerged as a very potent biomarker. Increased levels of S100A8 and S100A9 have been found in inflammation and various cancers. As complexes, they become crucial danger signals and act as endogenous activators of TLR4 (T

Den inre strukturen och vävnaden hos ben ger information om livsstil hos nutida och utdöda djur. Mosasaurier (familj Mosasauridae) är en grupp sekundärt anpassade marina reptiler som utvecklades och spred sig under sen krita, vilket resulterade i en kropp väl anpassad för marina miljöer. Marina anpassningar hos den här gruppen kan observeras på olika nivåer i skelettanatomin, exempelvis mikrostrukThe inner bone architecture and histology provide information about life history traits of extant as well as extinct animals. Mosasaurs (family Mosasauridae) are a group of secondarily adapted marine squamates that radiated in the Late Cretaceous, resulting in the evolution of a body plan adapted for pelagic habitats. Specialisa-tions in this group can be observed at different levels of skeletal a

This thesis focuses on the practice of sex for compensation performed by women with transgender and asylum experiences living in Sweden. It aims to explore the complexities of sex for compensation by positioning this practice as both strategy and a tactic for obtaining income used for gender affirmation, considering that gender-affirmative healthcare is not available for asylum seekers in Sweden.

With the shift towards renewable energy, the need for effective energy management grows. Renewable sources introduce variability and unpredictability, leading to volatile energy prices that expose consumers to fluctuations. To mitigate costs, energy storage and forecast models for electricity and thermal energy can be used to make optimal decisions on when to purchase energy from the grid. This th

Background: Nocturnal hypoxemia commonly affects people with pulmonary fibrosis (PF). Research Question: What are the current practices for assessment of sleep and nocturnal hypoxemia in PF, and what are the research priorities and outcome measures of importance for nocturnal oxygen therapy (NOT)? Study Design and Methods: People with PF and health care professionals (HCPs) with expertise in PF, s
