This chapter highlights the importance of collective conversations regarding how to navigate the complexity of positions, roles, stakes, interests and feelings that most researchers experience. The author explores a conversational format as a way of writing about affective reflexivity. The chapter departs in a PhD project focusing on the lived experiences of variations of sex characteristics, in o

The paper demonstrates the problem of translating modal verbs and phrases and shows how some of these problems can be overcome by choosing semantic representations which look like representations of passive verbs. These semantic representations suit alternative ways of expressing modality by e.g. passive constructions, adverbs and impersonal constructions in the target language. Various restructur

Infectious diseases remain a major health problem, where sepsis and other severe infectious diseases are common causes of morbidity and mortality. The importance of early and appropriate treatment of sepsis and severe bacterial infections has been underlined by the successes of measures like the Surviving Sepsis Campaign, among others. Thus, there is a need for clinical and laboratory tools to ide

C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is best known as a potent soluble inhibitor of the classical and lectin pathways of the complement system. This large 500kDa multimeric plasma glycoprotein is expressed mainly in the liver but also in lung and pancreas. It consists of several identical 75kDa α-chains and often also one 40kDa β-chain, both of which are mainly composed of complement control protein (CCP) d

EndoS from Streptococcus pyogenes efficiently hydrolyzes the functionally important and conserved N-linked glycan of IgG in human blood. Repeated i.v. administration of EndoS in rabbits completely hydrolyzes the glycans of the whole IgG pool, despite the generation of anti-EndoS antibodies. EndoS administration had no apparent effects on the health of the animals. EndoS hydrolysis of the IgG glyca

An analysis of the dialogue between Ursula Le Guin's The Left Hand of Darkness and Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice, in terms of androgyny, the uncanny, and unity/disunity.

In 2017 the Swedish government takes the decision that conscription will be reactivated after eight years of sleep. Major system changes like this need time to find their path so they are able to produce. Therefore, several questions are raised ahead of the reactivation of the conscription. This study answers to the question why the conscription was taken back in service. The answer and driving fo

This thesis examines the question of whether Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are under an obligation to refer questions on the interpretation of EEA law to the EFTA Court (the Court). These countries enjoy access to the EU’s internal market through the EEA Agreement. Article 34 of the Surveillance and Court Agreement, concluded between the EEA/EFTA States, establishes an advisory opinion procedu

The aim of this exploratory research has been to examine the lean startup methodology process and foster a better way of applying this method in the global south. This is done by assessing the method’s application process of a solar startup targeting the Kenyan market - the strengths and weaknesses the company encountered during the process, measures taken by the company to overcome those weakness

The aim of my study is to find out how Peru's recently signed free trade agreements have affected the volume of imports of fishmeal by the partner countries.

This paper examines the relationship between population growth and economic growth in the European Union during 1962-2017. By combining earlier research and economic growth theory a combined model is presented, which attempts to capture both positive and negative outcomes of population growth on economic growth. The aim of the study is to contribute to earlier research by focusing on the general e

The aim of this study was to analyze the female under-representation in the Swedish Armed Forces in order to gain a deeper understanding of the organization’s underlying difficulties in recruiting and retaining women. By collecting a women’s experience of the Swedish Armed Forces via a web survey and applying a qualitative content analysis to investigate the respondents’ answers, the study wishes

Increasing CO₂ emission is considered as the main reason for global warming in the world. One of the reasons for producing CO₂ is using of fossil-based materials in the construction projects. This study intends to assess the using bio-based materials instead of fossil-based materials for the thermal insulation layer of the external walls and roofs. Another focus of this project is using green conc
