Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a signalling sphingolipid affecting multiple cellular functions of vascular and immune systems. It circulates at submicromolar levels bound to HDL-associated apolipoprotein M (apoM) or to albumin. S1P in blood is mainly produced by platelets and erythrocytes, making blood sampling for S1P quantification delicate. Standardisation of sampling is thereby of great impo
Near-IR light penetrates deeply into tissue, but as the scattering coefficient is much larger than the absorption coefficient in this wavelength region, direct viewing through tissue is very difficult. In order to detect and locate inhomogeneities located inside tissue a time-resolved technique was developed, based on gated viewing, i.e. detecting the first arriving photons with the shortest path
Zabrze is a medium size town of 200 000 inhabitants in the region of Upper Silesia, Poland. The development of the town was originally based on the exploitation of heavy industries. In the past few years Zabrze has, however, moved towards more service and tourism oriented industries. As part of this journey, the city of Zabrze sees the need to improve its existing waste management system. This rep
This thesis examines the volatility in the equity and short-term interest-rate markets, and the spillover from the short term interest rate market to the equity market. It consists of three papers and focuses on adapting and proposing models for the estimation and forecasting of financial market volatility. Chapter 1 gives a brief introduction to the parametric and nonparametric volatility models,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av tre separata papper. De är alla empiriska studier som undersöker hur fragmentering av produktionsprocesser och globala utbudskedjor har påverkat internationell handel. Den första studien fokuserar på hur privata standarder i den alltmer globaliserade livsmedelsindustrin påverkar företags importbeteende. Genom att ge en kvalitetsförsäkran kan cer
Intergovernmental collaboration in Big Science has been an important resource for European science since the 1950s, as a means to compete on global level. But interestingly, collaboration in (basic) science has traditionally been left outside of the political integration work of the European Community/Union, which has resulted in a cluttered policy field and a situation where European Big Science
This thesis is based on three projects that deal with vertical III-V semiconductor devices. The work spans over basic research as well as more applied aspects of III-V semiconductor technology. All projects have in common that they rely on advanced epitaxial growth to form the starting material for device fabrication.In chapter two, zero-dimensional Quantum Dots (QDs) are incorporated into electro
Anaerobic co-digestion is an emerging practice at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to improve the energy balance and integrate waste management. Modelling of co-digestion in a plant-wide WWTP model is a powerful tool to assess the impact of co-substrate selection and dose strategy on digester performance and plant-wide effects. A feasible procedure to characterise and fractionate co-substrates
We investigated the relationship between the affective component (A: the level of offensiveness/intensity) and the behavioral component (B: the frequency of usage) of taboo words that are part of an individual’s natural language (C: the cognitive component). In Study 1, 900 US-residents generated the 10 most common taboo words they use in their daily lives (C). In Study 2, 1000 US-residents were pWe investigated the relationship between the affective component (A: the level of offensiveness/intensity) and the behavioral component (B: the frequency of usage) of taboo words that are part of an individual’s natural language (C: the cognitive component).

The question of whether proteins originate from random sequences of amino acids is addressed. A statistical analysis is performed in terms of blocked and random walk values formed by binary hydrophobic assignments of the amino acids along the protein chains. Theoretical expectations of these variables from random distributions of hydrophobicities are compared with those obtained from functional pr
Because internal transfers can play a key role in radiocaesium persistence in trees, a reliable representation of radiocaesium recycling between tree organs in forest models is important for long-term simulations after radioactive fallout in Chernobyl and Fukushima. We developed an upgraded 2.0 version of the initial TRIPS (“Transfer of Radionuclides In Perennial vegetation System”) model involvin
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a largely underdiagnosed disease including several phenotypes. In this report, the design of a study intending to evaluate the pathophysiological mechanism in COPD in relation to the specific phenotypes non-rapid and rapid decline in lung function is described together with the recruitment process of the study population derived from a po
We probe the implications of 5 different previously developed models of the evolution of the Milky Way’s radial metallicity gradient for radial migration of stars observed today between 5kpc < R < 12kpc. Our sample contains 7167 giant stars, with metallicities and radial velocities obtained from APOGEE DR14, full 5-parameter kinematic information from Gaia DR2, and ages derived in Martig et al. 20
The present research seeks to understand interviews I have conducted with selected individuals in Budapest, Hungary. Through an analysis based on well-established feminist theory I analyse what the dimensions of quality and character of life can be like for those committed to an environmentally conscious lifestyle, and ultimately gives credence to the notion that there might be deeper psychologica

Background: The conclusions that emerged from my prior C-level essay formed my opinion that segregation has a negative effect on the learning of the Swedish language. Segregation creates an atmosphere where the identity development of immigrant pupils can be damaged with the result of low self-esteem, which influences the education in a negative way. The future of immigrant pupils doesn't look

Cardiac magnetic resonance is widely used to non-invasive image the heart, for both clinical and research purposes. Segmenting different parts of the heart provides important diagnostic information. Performing this task manually is time-consuming and operator dependent, hence it would be beneficial to automate this process. The aim of this thesis is to implement an algorithm to segment the right v
Rätten till religions-och samvetsfrihet utgör båda mänskliga rättigheter och stadgas i artikel 9 Europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna (härefter EKMR). Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utifrån ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv, behandla både nationell och internationell lagstiftning samt de rättsliga frågeställningar som aktualiseras vid The right to freedom of religion and freedom of conscience are both human rights that are stipulated in Article 9 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR). The purpose of this thesis is from a labour law perspective examine both national and international law and the legal issues that can arise in a conflict between midwives and their employers,
