The workshop will focus on what first-year students to higher education needs to be successful and how a peer learning programme might address those needs. (~5 min for introduction)The workshop will start with a brainstorm session where participants in small groups will share thoughts and ideas on the question (~20 min for activity): “What would you like to affect with your new students? Provide s
We discovered structurally novel human calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) allosteric agonists and compared their pharmacology to phenylalkylamine calcimimetics. 1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2,4-dimethyl-phenyl)-ethanol (AC-265347) activated CaSR signaling in cellular proliferation and phosphatidylinositol (PI) hydrolysis assays with potencies of 30 and 10 nM, respectively. (S)-1-Benzothiazol-2-yl-1-(2,4-di
Background: Steroid injections are used in idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), but evidence of efficacy beyond 1 month is lacking. Objective: To assess the efficacy of local methylprednisolone injections in CTS. Design: Randomized, placebo-controlled trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00806871) Setting: Regional referral orthopedic department in Sweden. Patients: Patients aged 18 to 70 years with
Xylanases without contaminating cellulases are produced by a wide variety of aerobic bacteria and fungi but anaerobic organisms producing such enzymes are rare. Clostridial species viz., Clostridium beijerinckii LU-1, C. acetobutylicum LU-1, C. butyricum and C. bifermentans LU-1 isolated from rumen produced xylanase (E.C. 3.2.1.8) of 1.5-4.2 U/ml on oat spelt xylan as sole carbon source. Cellulose
Background: Long-term consequences of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury such as persistent posterior tibial translation and risk of osteoarthritis development are unclear. Additionally, little data is available describing the natural history of structural morphology of the ruptured PCL. The purpose of the study was to determine the long-term outcome after non-operatively treated PCL injury.
Directed relation graph with error propagation (DRGEP) method combined with extensive validation for 0D, 1D and 2D CFD modeling supported by sensitivity and Rate-Of-Production (ROP) analyses are implemented for comparative study of detailed and reduced kinetic mechanisms for CH 4 + H 2 combustion. To this end, two detailed kinetic mechanisms, namely AramcoMech 2.0 and recently updated Konnov me
Air pollution is responsible for one in eight premature deaths worldwide, and thereby a major threat to human health. Health impact assessments of hypothetic changes in air pollution concentrations can be used as a mean of assessing the health impacts of policy, plans and projects, and support decision-makers in choices to prevent disease. The aim of this study was to estimate health impacts attri
Recent advancements in catchment hydrology (such as understanding catchment similarity, accessing new data sources, and refining methods for parameter constraints) make it possible to apply catchment models for ungauged basins over large domains. Here we present a cutting-edge case study applying catchment-modelling techniques with evaluation against river flow at the global scale for the first ti
Growing planets interact with their natal protoplanetary disc, which exerts a torque onto them allowing them to migrate in the disc. Small mass planets do not affect the gas profile and migrate in the fast type-I migration. Although type-I migration can be directed outwards for planets smaller than 20−30M⊕ in some regions of the disc, planets above this mass should be lost into the central star lo
I takt med utbyggnaden av vindkraft har artskydd av fåglar blivit en ofta förekommande fråga i tillståndsprövningarna. I dessa förefaller 4 § artskyddsförordningen medföra tolknings- och tillämpningsproblem. Enligt dess ordalydelse ska bestämmelsen nämligen tillämpas på alla vilda fåglar, oavsett art, samt på vissa djurarter. Bestämmelsen föreskriver bland annat förbud mot att avsiktligt döda och In line with the expansion of wind power projects species protection of birds has become a frequent issue in permit procedures. In this context section 4 of the Species Protection Ordinance (2007:845) appears to result in difficulties when interpreted and applied. According to the provision, it should apply to all wild birds, regardless species, and some animal species. The provision stipulates, i
This master thesis contributed to a project financed by the Swedish Energy Agency and managed by the housing company Eksta AB in collaboration with the consulting Company WSP. The main aim of this master thesis was to perform a theoretical optimization on the usage of own used solar electricity by transferring the surplus PV between buildings in a demonstration area in a DC-microgrid. To achieve th
Increasing demand for metals might lead to extraction of metals from materials, previously, thought of as waste. A letter by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and Geological Survey of Sweden from 2017 encouraged new and innovative waste treatments as well as recycling of waste produced in association with mining. The conventional treatment of acid mine wastewater creates large volumes of

Från och med den 1 januari 2020 skärptes straffskalan för sexköp av barn. Syftet med åtgärden var att förstärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för ungdomar mot att dras in i prostitution. Brottet är förknippat med låg åtalsfrekvens. Det har tidigare förklarats med att aktsamhetskravet i förhållande till ålder i 6 kap. 13 § BrB - som täcker flera sexualbrott med åldersgräns - var särskilt svårt att upIn January 2020 the range of punishment for exploitation of a child through the purchase of a sexual act got stricter. The reasoning behind the change was to strengthen the criminal justice protection for these children. Exploitation of a child through the purchase of a sexual act is associated with a low prosecution frequency. An explanation for this has been that the rule of negligence in the si
Supply risk management (SRM) is a well-established aspect in the field of supply chain management (SCM) that has gained even more relevance due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic. Many articles have been published relating to the topic, such as Norrman and Jansson (2004) and Zsidisin (2003a). To ensure the academic contribution of this thesis, the authors specifically focused on SRM for companies pr
Cell Death Detection in Images What if we could kill cancer cells? The fact is that we already can, at least to some extent. Many cancer treatments targets cancer cells and kill them by causing them to commit suicide. To be able to do this even better, and minimize adverse effects, information about the biological regulation behind cell death needs to be known, and far from everything has been di
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of coworking space as it relates to meeting the common goals of collaboration, community, and creativity for its members. Through a case study of a coworking space, the study seeks answers to questions as: “How can coworking spaces enhance community, collaboration, and creativity to create a better experience for their members?” and “Are
Principen om barnets bästa ska vara avgörande i alla frågor som rör vårdnad, boende och umgänge. Den bärande principen återfinns i både FN:s barnkonvention och i föräldrabalken. Principen ska fungera som en rättslig vägledning vid alla utredningar i mål som rör barn, men det finns ingen universellt fastslagen definition av vad som faktiskt är barnets bästa. Utgångspunkterna är att bedöma barnets b
The only validated method to characterize the phenotype and to reach a definitive diagnosis of Malignant Hyperthermia Susceptibility (MHS; OMIM *145600), a pharmacogenetic disease linked to the Ryanodine 1 receptor gene (RYR1; OMIM *180901), is an invasive muscle contraction test requiring a muscle biopsy, according to the European (IVCT) protocol or to the North American (CHCT) protocol. The seri
The competitive corporate environment of today, as marked by continuous changes and enhanced global competition, forces companies to constantly adapt their current business activities and increasingly excel. Innovation is considered a critical imperative in order to respond to these increased competitive threats. Hence, innovation ought to permeate corporate environments and their inherent busines
