Knowledge concerning the molecular mechanisms governing the influence of non-coding RNAs on protein production has emerged rapidly during the past decade. Today, two main research areas can be identified, one oriented toward the use of artificially introduced siRNAs for manipulation of gene expression, and the other one focused on the function of endogenous miRNAs. In both cases, the active molecu

The introduction of L-DOPA pharmacotherapy revolutionized the treatment of Parkinson’s disease close to fifty years ago. Before the discovery of dopamine as a neurotransmitter and its involvement in the disease, these patients had very little aid from medication and were bound to a life without movement. The dopamine neurons in the midbrain are a key player in the circuitry that is responsible for

In a digital age where travellers are increasingly looking for the cheapest, fastest or most sustainable way to travel, comparing different modes of transport efficiently becomes a challenge. The internet offers a wide range of websites and travel providers, fragmenting information and forcing travellers to navigate inefficiently between different platforms and websites.

Title: The managing of students' differences in music education - Music teachers’ stories of how they adapt the music-teaching to individuals. The curriculum of the Swedish school express that the education should be adapted to each individual’s own conditions and needs. As a music teacher, it is common to have large classes’ small areas to use and pupils with different conditions and needs. T

This thesis seeks to examine the transition of three Swedish municipal archives from the old general archive classification system (allmänna arkivschemat) to a new process based classification system (verksamhetsbaserad arkivredovisning). Regulations issued by the Swedish National Archives are not binding for local government archives, and it is therefore free for the municipal archives to decide

Ungdomsreduktionen i 29 kap. 7 § brottsbalken som innebär straffnedsättning för unga lagöverträdare vid straffmätning har under de senaste åren varit under omfattande förändring i straffskärpande riktning. Utvecklingen bryter mot en tradition av mildare straff för unga. Unga har länge särbehandlats straffrättsligt men detta har i större omfattning börjat ifrågasättas, då särbehandlingen kan anses The reduced sentence for juveniles in Chapter 29, Section 7 of the Swedish Penal Code, which entails a reduced sentence for young offenders at the meting out of punishment has in recent years undergone significant changes in a more severe direction. The development marks a departure with a tradition of more lenient punishment for young offenders. Juveniles have long been treated differently in cri

I rättegångsbalken finns den fria bevisprövningen stadgad. Princip innebär att all bevisning som parterna kan få fram är som utgångspunkt tillåtlig och värdet av den bevisningen får prövas fritt. Att bevisprövningen ska vara fri innebär att domstolen inte är bunden av några legala regler eller normer. Högsta domstolen har emellertid utvecklat en bevisprövningsmetod som vuxit fram och tillämpas all

The international character that surrounds the shipping industry has traditionally meant that rules regarding the public law of the sea or the private maritime law are internationally regulated through regulations, state practice, international conventions or international customary law. Since the 1970s, there has been an increasing concern for both the marine environment and the safety onboard sh

During the past year my academic career has been rather different than the years before. In my undergraduate studies of economics & business economics, a mixture of different disciplines like microeconomics, marketing, organizational theory and finance, all I needed to worry about was to make sure I would pass the courses. I found that a rather unsatisfying way of studying; grades didn’t motiv

This paper aims to illuminate the strategies of international and national drug control. As globalization affects the global drug problem and the possibilities of controlling the same, an effective drug control at the international level is highly important. The Swedish drug policy is considered good through international standards but it is based on restrictive policies aiming towards a drug free

The hydropower plant at upper Finsjö is situated in the south-eastern part of Sweden. It is owned and operated by E.ON Vattenkraft Sverige AB. The dams are built in the beginning of the 20th century and regarding the safety of the dams they are in need of repairs. As an alternative, E.ON wants to investigate the possibility of building a new dam further downstream of the existing ones and thus mak

WUI-NITY is a computer modelling program for wildfire evacuation simulations. This thesis examines the applicability of WUI-NITY to locations in Sweden. The program was tested at example locations representing the Swedish landscape. The objective of this work was both to examine the application of the model, but also to produce a process by which the model might be applied – highlighting challenge

Reppe, a starch factory within the concern of Lantmännen is mainly producing starch from wheat but also gets gluten as a product in the process. Currently, the wheat gluten is primarily used to improve the properties of flour for bread-making and as an additive in the baking industry. But there is an interest to explore new uses of the product. To make this possible, the solubility of gluten has t

In Sweden, implementation of one-to-one computing in schools is a very current subject, because more and more schools decide to make an implementation. The goals are to improve the study results of the students and in a higher degree be able to individualize the education after the needs of every pupil. The purpose of this thesis is to study how an implementation of one-to-one computing will affe

This thesis proposes an alternative way of comparing the performance of private equity funds and testing if they through active involvement can increase the value of their investments. Resent studies has shown that the true performance of Private Equity funds are about the same as the markets return so by measuring the performance of the companies that most resemble the private equity firms actual

The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is a membrane protein group of central importance in the immune system. It is divided into two main classes, class I and class II. The MHCs are highly polymorphic which is believed to be indication of trans-species polymorphism (TSP). There is TSP when an allele is maintained in two species through a speciation event. The songbirds that I study here belon
