Popular Abstract in Swedish Giftiga alger - kan man äta sånt?! En sammanfattning på svenska Varje sommar varna's vi för giftiga algblomningar i media. Rapporterna brukar ofta handla om havet men många insjöar, speciellt i Skåne, drabba's också av massförekomst av alger. Det är framför allt cyanobakterier, eller blå-gröna alger som de kallade's innan, som blir så många att de helt dominerar algsaMass development of cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) is common in many lakes and coastal waters worldwide as a result of an increased nutrient loading. These blooms of cyanobacteria are undesirable for several reasons; thick mats of algae and unpleasant odour reduces the recreational values, bad taste reduces the quality of drinking water and the potent toxins produced by some species of cyanobact

Algorithms for secure encryption in a post-quantum world are currently receiving a lot of attention in the research community, including several larger projects and a standardization effort from NIST. One of the most promising algorithms is the code-based scheme called QC-MDPC, which has excellent performance and a small public key size. In this work we present a very efficient key recovery attack

Theoretical investigations of hyperfine quenching of the two metastable levels 1s(2)2s2p P-3(0) and P-3(2) have been performed along the Be-like isoelectronic sequence for ions between Z=6-22. It is shown that the lifetime of the latter level is sensitive to hyperfine quenching in the beginning of the isoelectronic sequence, but the sensitivity decreases towards the high-Z end. It is also shown th

Icke-statliga organisationer är inflytelserika aktörer i världspolitiken och utvecklingsarbeten. Under det senaste decenniet har allt fler icke-statliga organisationer, internationella och nationella, rapporterat om kränkningar av de mänskliga rättigheterna för HBTQIAP+ personer och de utmaningar som de möter i deras liv. Hur de rapporterar om dessa frågor är viktiga eftersom språk och diskurs harNGOs are influential actors in world politics and development efforts. During the last decade increasing numbers of NGOs, international and national, have been reporting on the violations of the human rights of LGBTQIAP+ persons and the challenges these people face in their lives. How they report on these issues matters since language and discourse have an influence over whose voices are heard and

Barn som upplever våld i hemmet har innan 2021 inte haft ett straffrättsligt skydd i svensk lag. Det finns studier som visar att var tionde barn i Sverige någon gång har upplevt våld mellan närstående. Situationen där vuxna utövar våld i vad som ska vara barnets tryggaste zon, kan ge förödande konsekvenser, både fysiskt som psykiskt. Den 14 juni 2018 beslutade regeringen att tillsätta en särskildBefore 2021, children who experience violence in their homes have not had criminal protection in Swedish law. There are studies that show that every tenth child in Sweden has ever experienced violence between relatives. The situation where adults use violence, in what should be the child's safest zone, can have devastating consequences, both physically and mentally. On 14 June 2018, the govern

An implementation to convert one of Adobes Flash file-format (xfl) to HTML5 has been created. The problems that need to be solved for completion of this converter are. What programming language should be used that is suitable for the application and locating some form of documentation of the file-format xfl. Javascript was chosen for implementation, but a usable documentation of xfl was not to be

Som de flesta av oss vet så kretsar planeter i elliptiska banor runt stjärnor. Vissa planeter som ligger väldigt nära de stjärnor som de kretsar får uppleva visa effekter som inte märkbart påverkar de planeterna i omloppsbana längre bort. Dessa effekter uppkommer ur så kallade tidvattenskrafter som härstammar från det faktum att gravitationskrafter beror väldigt mycket på avstånd mellan objekt. DePlanets that orbit their host star closely experience tidal forces due to the strength of gravity not being uniform all over the planet. This leads to effects such as tidal spin synchronization, tidal eccentricity damping and tidal semi-major axis damping. This project aims to study how the time scales for these phenomena are affected by the planetary parameters such as mass, radius and the tidal

In the field of molecular biology, the cloning of DNA is a vital process. Through cloning, researchers can design new DNA strands which can be used for a number of applications. One of these applications is the creation of synthetic antibodies for cancer treatments. Alligator Bioscience is developing a high-throughput chain to significantly speed up the process. Traditional cloning techniques rely

Customers are important stakeholders for any company; yet, they seem not to be widely discussed in merger and acquisition research. This chapter synthesizes the current body of research on customers in mergers and acquisitions through presenting a systematic literature review. The chapter is based on a systematic literature review resulting from a search in EBSCO Host for any research item that re

We report the development of a high-level bacterial expression system for the Alzheimer's disease-associated amyloid beta-peptide (A beta), together with a scaleable and inexpensive purification procedure. A beta(1-40) and A beta(1-42) coding sequences together with added ATG codons were cloned directly into a Pet vector to facilitate production of Met-A beta(1-40) and Met-A beta(1-42), referred t

In this study, two experiments were conducted to evaluate the impact of substrate concentrations on methane potential and degradation kinetics of substrate. The biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests in Experiment I were performed at a constant inoculum to substrate ratio (ISR), whereas, different ISRs were applied in Experiment II. Results obtained from Experiment I revealed that methane poten

A spectrophotometric assay for plasmin and plasminogen-derived activity in dairy products was optimised and extended to determine plasmin and plasminogen-derived activity in turbid samples of dairy products. The method was validated by assessing reproducibility, repeatability, level of detection and recovery of plasmin activity in different sample matrices. Plasmin activity in raw milk was not aff

Augustenborg is suburb city in Malmö south of Sweden. The climate is temperate with occasional snow during the winter. Open storm water is applied in Augustenborg since late 1990s and the storm water is disconnected from the combined sewer system in order to give the area a lift up value and to solve the flooding problems in basements after heavy rainfall events. The new open system consists of po

Abstract in UndeterminedThe popularity of the Internet and marketers' increased investments in Internet advertising have raised some questions concerning a marketer's power to influence children and young people's consumption through new media technology. This article, based on a recent explorative study of 15-year-old Swedish teenagers, aims to discuss their exposure-potential, actual, and percei

The orthogonality factor (OF) quantifies the loss of orthogonality between the signals transmitted simultaneously on a wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) downlink due to multipath dispersion. It is one of the fundamental parameters that determines the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio at the output of the Rake receiver and, consequently, it has a significant impact on downlink sy

We introduce a new dataset, Human3.6M, of 3.6 Million 3D Human poses, acquired by recording the performance of 11 subjects, under 4 different viewpoints, for training realistic human sensing systems and for evaluating the next generation of human pose estimation models. Besides increasing the size the current state of the art datasets by several orders of magnitude, we aim to complement such datas

Allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation remains the only curative treatment of myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM). Previous reports have indicated significant treatment-related mortality (TRM) for patients transplanted after myeloablative conditioning but superior survival has been reported after reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC). We report the results of a survey of all al

Objective: To update estimates of cancer risk in SLE relative to the general population. Methods: A multisite international SLE cohort was linked with regional tumor registries. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated as the ratio of observed to expected cancers. Results: Across 30 centres, 16,409 patients were observed for 121,283 (average 7.4) person years. In total, 644 cancers occ
