The mechanisms that specify photoreceptor cell-fate determination, especially as regards to short-wave-sensitive (S) versus medium-wave-sensitive (M) cone identity, and maintain their nature and function, are not fully understood. Here we report the importance of general transcription factor II-I repeat domain-containing protein 1 (GTF2IRD1) in maintaining M cone cell identity and function as well

Many tissues exhibit metabolic compartmentation. In the brain, while there is no doubt on the importance of functional compartmentation between neurons and glial cells, there is still debate on the specific regulation of pathways of energy metabolism at different activity levels. Using (13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in vivo, we determined fluxes of energy metabolism in the rat cortex

Concrete is the most commonly used material worldwide, often associated with an irreversible production process and waste generation at the end-of-life. As such, the concrete industry holds large untapped potentials for moving towards more circular economy (CE) practices. Product service system (PSS) offerings incentivize CE through extending product use, improving product performance and developi

BACKGROUND: Owing to the wide spread perception of a possible benefit from paclitaxel in the second-line situation the Nordic Gynecologic Oncology Group (NGOG) conducted two prospective phase II studies of paclitaxel single agent treatment (175 mg/m2, three-hour i.v. infusion with standard pre-medication every third week) in patients with relapsing or progressing epithelial ovarian cancer followin

Pollination is a critical ecosystem service given its essential role in sustaining food production, while pollinating insects are declining worldwide. Pollination capacity can be estimated through direct indicators characterising pollinator communities. Pollinators need feeding and nesting resources, so their presence can also be estimated through indirect indicators characterising these resources

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding of how patients experience their health problems and how they can generate innovative ideas about health care services. The research questions that guide the present study are: how can solicited diaries be used for capturing patient ideas? What type of data is generated from solicited diaries used for generating patient ideas? And

Still many companies fail to do so. The main reason is existing knowledge

In this research we set out to explore brand building processes in professional service firms. There has been considerable conceptualization of service branding and corporate branding as emerging phenomena; yet, analysis of how these processes are strategically conceptualized is from our perspective lacking. Qualitative study following an abductive approach using Symbolic Interaction as a research

Purpose: To avoid over-treatment of prostate cancer patients following screening for elevated prostate-specific antigen levels, keeping patients on active surveillance has been suggested as an alternative to radical treatment. This means recurring visits for patients with low-grade cancer to monitor progression. Our aim was to develop an artificial intelligence-based model that can identify high-r

Titel Livsstilsboenden - Processen kring att kombinera livsstil, service och boende Författare Elisa De Toro, Helene Tigerström & Liv Åström Handledare Cecilia Fredriksson & Örjan Hallgren Problem Det finns en stor mängd forskning inom områdena service, boende och livsstil. Dock ser vi att det saknas forskning kring hur dessa kan kombineras och hur processen kring detta ser ut. Syfte Syfte

Problemformulering: Kvinnor och män tycks shoppa olika. Existerar det ett samband mellan ledningen och butikspersonalens roll vid bemötande av och servicen till kunder, med avseende på kön, i en klädesbutik, och hur ser det sambandet i så fall ut?Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att med hjälp av tre fallföretag, Brothers, Sisters och MQ, undersöka huruvida skillnader i köpbeteende mellan könen k

While researchers have explored the relationship between customer orientation and innovativeness with business performance in different organisations, such studies in small-sized service retailers are scarce. This study investigates potential influences of these two variables on small-sized service retailer performance. Data for this study were collected through personal interviews from 174 Swiss

Integrationen av datorenheter i dagens fordon har gjort nya och mer avancerade funktioner möjliga. För att kunna verifiera att dessa funktioner fungerar och för att felsöka dem så används så kallade diagnostjänster. Allt eftersom funktionerna i fordon blir mer avancerade och beroende på data från flera olika sensorer och datorenheter så ställs nya krav på diagnostjänsterna att kunna läsa ut mer daThe integration of small computer units in vehicles has made more complex in-vehicle functionality possible. To troubleshoot these more advanced functions, the diagnostic services need to read out more data from the integrated computer units, causing an increased network load. This has caused a demand on more efficient ways of performing vehicle diagnostics. One possible way to decrease the netwo

An energy service company (ESCO) is an example of an atypical business concept that generates greater positive externalities as its business grows. The basic business concept of an ESCO is a company that installs energy efficient improvements in their customers' buildings, such as new lighting and ventilation systems, and then recovers expenditures and gains profits by splitting the resulting

Due to the environmental impact of food waste and its implications on the economic performance of restaurants, the importance of reducing food waste has taken a central role in the management of restaurants. This paper examines the difficulties which arise in the restaurant industry in their efforts to reduce food waste. In addition the paper aims to answer the following questions: Is food waste p

Ecosystem services have been widely discussed as of late, and more so than ever, has the topic of resilience and sustainable city planning taken an important role in the debate over how we can meet the present challenges concerning livable cities. The costs and the benefits of urban trees is an important factor in sustainable city planning and their consideration early in the planning stages canno

There is a rising demand for decarbonizing the building sector since it significantly contributes to global carbon emissions. With a focus on the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems specifically, this master’s thesis explores the embodied carbon within these building service systems. Utilizing established life cycle assessment methodologies, the case study thoroughly examines the embodied
