Barley, Hordeum vulgare, is a commercially important crop plant mostly used as animal feed but also as human food where it serves as an important source of _-glucan and other nutrients. As populations are growing worldwide, early flowering cultivars can play a vital role to increase the production of barley to meet the increasing demand of this crop. We analyzed five early flowering mat-e mutants
Uppsatsen undersöker den internationella straffrättens förväntningar på ansvarighållandet av företagsledare på individnivå. Vidare utreds huruvida nationell rätt, här svensk rätt i jämförelse med tysk, uppfyller de krav och förväntningar som den internationella straffrätten ställer på nationell reglering. Dessutom syftar uppsatsen till att sätta svensk reglering av medverkansansvar för företagsledThe thesis investigates the expectations of international criminal law on the prosecution of corporate leaders on an international and domestic level for international crimes based on the sources, purposes, and principles guiding international criminal law.

The insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway has been implicated as risk modifier in premenopausal breast cancer. In this study, associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and diplotypes in the IGFBP1 and IGFBP3 genes and circulating IGFBP-3 levels, BRCA family status and breast cancer among women from high-risk breast cancer families were investigated. Nine IGFBP1 and IGFBP3 SNPs
The fungal symbionts forming ectomycorrhizas, as well as their associated bacteria, benefit forest trees in a number of ways although the most important is enhancing soil nutrient mobilization and uptake. This is reciprocated by the allocation of carbohydrates by the tree to the fungus through the root interface, making the relationship a mutualistic association. Many field observations suggest th
With more than 130,000 organizations worldwide certified according to ISO requirements, business people, regulatory authorities and other stakeholders have reason to wonder whether the purpose of ISO 14001, which is to help improve environmental performance, is being fulfilled. There is a growing body of literature attempting to answer this question. The results, however, are inconclusive. This m
Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes kännetecknas av förhöjda halter av glukos i blodet och flera vanliga former förekommer. Typ 1 (T1D) diabetes är vanligast förekommande hos barnoch ungdomar och karakteriseras av att de insulin producerande cellerna (s.k. betacellerna) förstörs av kroppens eget immunförsvar, en autoimmun reaktion. Patienter med T1D diabetes kräver insulin för överlevnad och har T1D is most common in children and young adults and is characterized by autoimmune destruction of insulin producing pancreatic beta cells, presence of certain risk genotypes such as HLA-DQB1, INS VNTR, PTPN22 and need of insulin for survival. In adults the same situation is often referred to as Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), with age at onset after 35 years and non-insulin requiring
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly disabling disease affecting all structures of the joint. Understanding the pathology behind the development of RA is essential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies as well as for developing novel markers to predict disease onset. Several molecules normally hidden within the cartilage tissue are exposed to complement components in the synovial fluid u
Introduction: The popularity of para sports is steadily growing along with the biggest para sport arrangement, Paralympics. There is limited research in the field of physiotherapy when it comes to Paralympics and with the growing movement, more research is required. Shoulder injuries occur in all sports and are common in para sports. For disabled athletes, injuries may not only impact their sporti
The aim of this study is to examine the discourses on climate change in relation to certain European heat waves in Swedish print media, with the help of Anabela Carvalho’s discourse analysis, specifically formulated for media. To what extent did the media link the extreme weather events to climate change, and man-made emissions? This study also examines the role of actors and discursive strategies
Business intelligence (BI) is all about making decisions. The purpose of many business intelligence tools is to improve these decisions by making data easy to visualize and understand. Qlik Sense is a BI tool developed by the company Qlik which allows users to visualize and explore data by filtering it (called making selections). At the time of this project Qlik Sense did not support visualization
Humans have always communicated with each other. When the smartphone technology was launched on the market, it revolutionized the way people communicate. This smartphone technology is constantly evolving and during 2014 wearable computing seems to be in the focal point at most smartphone technology conferences. This master thesis aims to discover how a wearable computing device can further develo
Thomas Quick, numera Sture Bergwall, har kallats Sveriges värste seriemördare. Nu krackelerar den bilden. Sedan Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sina erkännanden har han praktiskt blivit friad från samtliga åtta mord han blivit dömd för. Syftet med framställningen är att utreda hur domen gällande Appojaurefallet kunde rämna bara för att den tilltalade Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sitt erkännande. Mer konkThomas Quick, now Sture Bergwall, has been called the worst serial killer in Sweden’s history. That picture is now falling apart. Since Thomas Quick retracted his confessions he has practically been cleared from all eight murders he was convicted for. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the judgement in the Appojaure case could fall apart only because the defendant retracted his confe
The pressures involved in caring for a child with intellectual disability (ID) and parental needs are well documented in the literature. However, existing theoretical and empirical work shows that the range of emotions experienced by these parents is not widely explored and social and heath caregivers sometimes lack insight into how life with a child with ID affects parents’ well being. The aim of
Nepal ligger i ett av världens mest jordbävningsutsatta områden, och jordbävningen i Gorkha 2015 visade tydligt hur sårbara murverksbyggnader utan ingenjörsmässig dimensionering kan vara. I återuppbyggnadsarbetet har interlocking Compressed Sta- bilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) lyfts fram som ett möjligt alternativ till traditionellt murverk av bränt lertegel. Detta eftersom systemet både kan vara mer Nepal is located in one of the most seismically active regions in the world, and the 2015 Gorkha earthquake clearly demonstrated the vulnerability of non-engineered masonry buildings. In the reconstruction efforts following the earthquake, interlocking Com- pressed Stabilised Earth Blocks (CSEB) have been highlighted as a potentially more seismically robust and at the same time more sustainable al
Uganda’s development-based refugee model is widely recognised as the most progressive in the world by the international community. The model has however come under solid pressure owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, and food insecurity among refugees in the country has become a major problem. This study examines how the pandemic has affected urban and settlement-based refugees’ food security with a par
With increasing pressure to get rid of the world’s dependence on fossil fuels to reach the world’s climate goals, the use of alternative fuels for propulsion are needed. This is a challenge for the maritime industry, where ferries have good properties to become renewable by the usage of batteries. Their routes are mostly fixed routes and with good infrastructure established at each stop, fully bat

The purpose is to investigate the extent to which the amendment has re-shaped the assessment of the chil
Limited-slip differentials (LSD) are normally placed in high-end and race cars to improve the handling, by reducing the differential speed and balancing the torque between the driving wheels. However, electrical-activated LSD struggles to continuously eliminate the differential speed over extended periods of time. To overcome this, BorgWarner proposed a dual-functional clutch pack, featuring two d
