Knäleden är kroppens största led och är påtagligt komplicerad. Den utsätts dagligen för stora krafter vid såväl böj och vridrörelser som stötkrafter vid stegisättning. För att den skall fungera optimalt måste flera olika komponenter samverka. Brosket som bekläder benändarna bidrar med stötdämpning och ger en mycket låg friktion vid rörelse. Flera olika ligament och muskler som löper över leden bid
In insects airborne odors are detected by the odorant receptors (ORs) and ionotropic receptors (IRs), located on the dendritic membrane of the olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) housed in olfactory sensilla. The OR and IR gene families show high plasticity in lineage expansion and contraction following the birth-and-death evolutionary model. Gene duplication is an important mechanism underlying the
Some 4 billion years ago, nature began the experiment that led to you, that bird on the branch, that branch, and everything else which is alive that you see around you. The generating process of all this splendid life is, of course, evolution. Evolution works not only on the macroscopic scale (think eyes, muscles, wings) but also on the molecular scale (think molecular antennas, nanoscale muscles,The sequence diversity of protein families is a result of the biophysical selection pressures that shaped their evolutionary history. Among the dominant pressures is selection for protein thermostability, which in itself is an attractive target in protein engineering because of its importance for various biopharmaceutical properties, the performance of industrial enzymes, and the ability to design
Every year, 100,000 tons of dissolved hemicelluloses are discharge unused with wastewater from thermomechanical pulp mills around the world. Isolation of these hemicelluloses from the wastewater would not only reduce the treatment costs for the pulp mills but would also provide an excellent raw material for high value applications such as oxygen barriers in food packaging. The isolation of the hem
Software developers are gaining increasing influence within every company they work for and work with. Engaging at C-level is no longer sufficient: the software developer is now a powerful force in decision-making.This book is intended to be the “textbook” for those working - or starting - in developer marketing. It will teach you how to engage with developers to build a two-way relationship that
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns flera avancerade datormodeller att tillgå för att analysera och utvärdera brandsäkerheten i byggnader i samband med nyproduktion och ombyggnad. Denna typ av datormodeller kan, i många fall, göra bra förutsägelser av faktorer som är betydelsefulla för brandsäkerheten och därför är de viktiga verktyg vid brandtekniska analyser. Datormodellerna är dock komplexa oFire dynamics in multi-room compartments are explored in this thesis and new methods to study conditions in rooms adjacent to the room of fire origin are presented. Simple and transparent engineering methods can create good possibilities for understanding different complex phenomena present in fire science. Such methods can also be used in the design process in order to perform rough estimates bef

Relay of information in the insect brain The brain has for decades been studied, and it is not yet understood but what we do know is that it is certainly an important organ in our body. There are many things that it controls such as eating, sleeping, thinking, moving, or just simply looking. In order for us to carry out daily activities, information has to be processed by the brain. If we intend
Can normal development help us understand tumor initiation? The field of developmental biology studies the complex processes by which organisms grow. Embryology is one of its subfields and investigates how organisms develop from the moment the egg is fertilized to the later embryonic stages. Embryonic development can sometimes be abnormal and lead to cancer formation. In higher animals, followi
Öreland – a Lost World The aim of this BA Study is two-folded. First, to investigate if and when the Strait of Öresund has been dry land and, second, if there are traces of human activities – tools and settlements – that could be related to Öreland, e.g. when Öresund was dry land. My starting point is that Öreland was a geographic area in its own right. By that I mean that Öreland should not only
Nearly 60% of the worlds adult population is projected to be overweight or obese by 2030. The prevalence of obesity- related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), has increased markedly in the past decades. The adipose tissue plays an important role in disease progression of T2D. Adipocyte insulin sensitivity, adipose tissue’s ability to expand, and accumulation of subcutaneous rather than visc
Phytoglobins (Pgb) (plant hemoglobins) are heme-containing proteins and less well known in comparison to the mammalian counterparts hemoglobin (Hb) andmyoglobin (Mb). They share the same secondary structure as other globin-related proteins, six to eight α-helices comprising the myoglobin-fold (Mb-fold) with one prosthetic heme moiety per subunit.

Fermentering av äpple - På gott och ont Fermentation, eller jäsning, av mat och dryck har varit känt under tusentals år. Fördelarna med fermenterade livsmedel är bl. a. att de blir mer lättsmälta, innehåller fler syntetiserade näringsämnen, minskar eller tar bort sjukdomsalstrande bakterier (patogener) samt ökar den probiotiska floran i tarmen. Under fermenteringen kan det skapas etanol - den mes
Klas Lucander Biokolets påverkan på markens organiska material - Kan gödsling med biokol bidra till en kolinlagring i marken och därmed dämpa den globala uppvärmningen? Här presenteras en konceptuell sammanställning och modell av de processer som styr markkolet när marken gödslas med biokol. Sammanställningen konstaterar att de processer som styr biokolets påverkan på markens organiska materiaHere I present a conceptual synthesis of the processes governing soil carbon in the event of biochar application. Biochar is a product of a controlled pyrolysis process and is known for its physical, chemical and adsorptive properties. It has been speculated to be a tool for sequestering carbon in soil to offset greenhouse gas emissions, and as a soil amendment. The study is done in collaboration
Tillgång till tillräckliga mängder vatten av god kvalitet är en väsentlig resurs för samhället. Det behövs för mänsklig konsumtion, för produktion i industrin, för fisket, etcetera. Det är därför mycket oroande att vattenkvaliteten i Europeiska unionen successivt försämras. Östersjön som är mycket påverkad av övergödning kan nämnas som ett exempel. Övergödning orsakas av utsläpp av näringsämnen iThe supply of good quality water is an essential resource for society. It is needed for human consumption, for production processes in the industry, for fishing, etcetera. The fact that the quality of waters within the European Union is continuously deteriorating is therefore of major concern. One example is the Baltic Sea, which is heavily affected by eutrophication. Eutrophication is caused b
In this thesis I explore the ecotoxicological responses of aquatic organisms at different hierarchical levels to organic contaminants by means of bioassays. The bioassays use novel endpoints or approaches to elucidate the effects of exposure to contaminants and attempt to give mechanistic explanations that could be used to interpret effects at higher hierarchical scales. The sensitivity of popula
Art. 6(1) EKMR garanterar var och en vars civila rättigheter eller skyldigheter blir föremål för prövning eller som blir anklagad för brott en rätt till en rättvis rättegång inför en oavhängig och opartisk domstol. Vid administrativa förfaranden, såsom konkurrensrättsliga, har Europadomstolen ställt krav på att i de fall en administrativ myndighet inte uppfyller kraven i art. 6(1) EKMR ålägger förFor some time there has been loud criticism to whether the institutional structure and procedures for the enforcement of EU Competition Law is compatible with the right to a fair trial. Art. 6(1) ECHR protects this right in criminal law cases and cases concerning civil rights, by guaranteeing everyone the right to a fair trial before an independent and impartial tribunal.

Den svenska regeringen stadgade i juli 2010 en lag angående möjligheten för ett moderbolag att dra av en slutlig förlust hos ett utländskt dotterbolag från moderbolagets beskattningsbara vinst. Detta lagförslag är ett resultat av Regeringsrättens domar från 2009, som i sin tur tolkar den europeiska domstolens domar, närmare bestämt Marks & Spencer och Oy AA. Lagförslaget stämmer, enligt min meThe Swedish government has in July 2010 incorporated a legislation regarding the possibility to deduct a loss incurred by a non-resident subsidiary, from the parent company’s taxable income. This Law is based on the Swedish administrative court’s interpretation of the European Union Court’s judgement of the Marks & Spencer case and the Oy AA case. The law is in my opinion not completely compat
