This master’s thesis focused on the crystallisation of E. coli ribonucleotide reductase repressor (NrdR) in the scope of fragment-based drug design. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem and NrdR is thought to be a potential drug target for a new group of antibiotics. NrdR proteins are only found in bacteria and regulate the transcription of ribonucleotide reductase genes by binding to two Nr
Extending the retirement age has become an inevitable trend given the deepening of population ageing and the need to reduce the financial burden of pensions. Many countries have already introduced policies to delay retirement. China began to implement the delayed retirement policy in 2025. As the policy was introduced relatively recently, retirement ages vary by characteristics such as gender and
The museum world is in a time of great change, many of the changes focus on the accessibility of museums. In Sweden these changes are becoming more apparent as the new museum law that has been passed advocates for equal museum experience for all visitors whether they have any for of impairment or not. To encourage this change a few older law and regulations that Swedish museums are also subject to
Residential segregation is seen as a growing problem within many urban areas today. Segregation is assumed to hamper social integration and the life-chances of disadvantaged as well as creating instability in society. One policy measure to deal with residential segregation is to increase the variation in the housing structure. This is assumed to create a social mix, that in turn will generate posi
Abstract: Nepalese migrants who are involved in businesses in Scandinavia are survivals in the race of high tech and cross cultural constraints. They are adaptive to use knowledge and education and are also able to learn skills in order to exploit the situation in their favour. A hypothesis is tested among Nepali migrant entrepreneurs by exploring their experiences regarding migration, strategy a
This thesis is informed by a collection of discussions that highlight participant perspectives on Vancouver’s food justice and food sovereignty movement, mainstream food discourse in the city, and how the state’s institutional role is involved in prospects for the future. Vancouver, Canada constitutes an appropriate case as a dense, urban, and intensely commodified space with conspicuous pockets o
The territorial defeat of the Islamic State (IS) in Iraq in 2019 marked a turning point in the country’s security and political order, foregrounding the challenge of integrating powerful Shia militias into formal politics while preserving state authority and democratic processes. This study examines why some militias have been more successful than others in translating wartime influence into elect
The European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis) is a redlisted freshwater turtle species and a protected species in France. It is relying strongly on immerged habitats for most of its active life cycle, but depends also on land habitats for egg deposition. As most wetland species, it is undergoing severe pressures due to the reduction and degradation of its habitats. In the Mediterranean, rises in sal
In the last 20 years more than 7,300 disaster events were recorded across the world. Global trends indicated that in 2019 over 79 million people were displaced worldwide, 45 million were internally displaced and there were 26 million refugees. The nature of disasters is increasingly complex, uncertain and long lasting and refugees represent a growing community often disproportionately affected by
Veterinary pharmaceuticals used in areas with intense agriculture and livestock/horse yard facilities may leach into the soil and be further transported as runoff into surface waters used as drinking water supplies. The focus of this thesis is to clarify how the existing legal framework on monitoring and regulating these residues, help Sweden to comply with two of the national environmental qualit
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate levels of perceived family cohesion during childhood, teenage years, and young adulthood in cancer-bereaved youths compared with non-bereaved peers.METHODS: In this nationwide, population-based study, 622 (73%) young adults (aged 18-26) who had lost a parent to cancer 6 to 9 years previously, when they were teenagers (aged 13-16), and 330 (78%) n

Purpose: The quality of the study design and data reporting in human trials dealing with the inter-individual variability in response to the consumption of plant bioactives is, in general, low. There is a lack of recommendations supporting the scientific community on this topic. This study aimed at developing a quality index to assist the assessment of the reporting quality of intervention trials
