To properly understand regions of space behind interstellar dust, like the Galactic bulge, infrared (IR) observations are needed, as it passes through the dust with minimal absorption. In the past few decades, the development of IR telescopes has allowed for a much deeper understanding of our Galaxy’s stellar populations and history. To properly use the data which these IR telescopes produce howev
Nearly all multicellular organisms reproduce sexually, whereas asexual reproduction is predominant in unicellular species. However, it is unclear why we see such a tight co-occurrence between multicellularity and sex. Here, we investigate the effect sexual reproduction has on the evolution of multicellularity in the green algae, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, specifically on the variation and novel ph
Under senare år har det både i Sverige, Danmark och Norge förekommit ett stort antal fall där tilltalade invänt att de befunnit sig i somnambula tillstånd och därmed inte kan hållas straffrättsligt ansvariga för sina gärningar. Trots att de skandinaviska ländernas hantering av sömninvändningar görs utifrån olika rättsliga utgångspunkter, har de gemensamt att det vid bedömningen är fråga om subjekt
Non-native trees are common in urban environments all over the world. From a conservation viewpoint, it is essential to understand how these trees are affecting urban breeding birds. Non-native trees house fewer and smaller invertebrates than native trees do and are considered a poor food source for insectivorous birds. Still, studies are lacking on exactly how non-native trees affect birds’ feedi
People who desire more-than-one gender are still facing social exclusion as well as exclusion from LGBTQ communities. Moreover, specific bi+ spaces are rare and bisexuals are often not part of them. Where, then, do bisexuals belong? In order to answer this question, this thesis explores the everyday experiences of bi+ people using Relief Maps and in-depth interviews. I build on theories around emo

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are essential for the survival of humans, animals, and plants. The production and usage of mineral fertilizer has contributed to an over-use of these resources, leakage, and emissions of nutrients. This study aims to simplify and simulate the food system of Scania through a conceptual model. The model maps nutrient flows of N, P and K within the internal foo
When slurs are used in indirect reports (e.g., ‘Lisa said that Tom is a [slur]’), there is a disagreement between theories of language about which speaker is responsible for the derogatory content and offensive potential of the slur — the original speaker or the reporting speaker. This debate is specific to slurs and does not typically extend to non-slur pejoratives. To examine this issue, this th
Employer branding is a topic that is becoming significantly more interesting among both scholars and practitioners. This study analysed a small part of this topic - the practical use of Employer Branding Value Chain. This study tackled this topic in a unique way because all data was gathered and analysed from the perspective of managers and their work. The purpose of this research is to discover a
När jag hade flöjtlektioner på kulturskola värderades inte musiken efter genrer. Min upplevelse var att flera olika genrer förekom lika ofta på lektionerna. När jag senare sökte in till musikhögskolan och var tvungen att välja genre rubbades denna bild och jag frågade mig vad min roll som flöjtpedagog kommer vara. Ska jag nischa mig inom en genre, eller ska jag kunna lära ut lite av varje? SyftetWhen I had flute lessons at the community school of music and art, music was not valued according to genres. My experience was that several different genres were equally common in the lessons. When I later applied to Malmö Academy of Music, and had to choose a genre, this idea was disrupted and I asked myself what my role as a flute teacher would be. Should I specialize myself within a genre, or s
Fragmentbaserad läkemedelsutveckling (FBDD) har på senare tid utvecklats som en lovande alternativ metod för att identifiera svåråtkomliga bindningsställen, såsom små fickor eller allosteriska säten. Weak affinity chromatography (WAC™) är en FBDD-metod där dissociationskonstanten kan beräknas genom att jämföra retentionstiden på en proteinkolonn med en referenskolonn. Målet med projektet är att möFragment-based drug discovery (FBDD) has in recent years emerged as an interesting method to target challenging binding sites, such as allosteric sites or small pockets. Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC™) is a FBDD technology where dissociation constants of injected compounds are determined by comparing retention times between a protein column to a reference column. The goal of this project was t
Biodegradable magnesium alloys are promising candidates for orthopaedic implants due to their mechanical compatibility with bone and their bioresorbable nature. This study investigates the degradation behaviour of Mg-Zn-Zr-Ca alloys with varying zinc concentrations, focusing on how heat treatment and microstructure evolution influence corrosion resistance under physiologically relevant conditions.
The topic of this study is the phosphorylation dependent interaction between aquaporin 2 (AQP2) and the FERM domain of ezrin. AQP2 is an important water channel for finetuning the water content of the urine based on the needs of the body. The main way of regulating how much water is reabsorbed is by regulating the amount of AQP2 present in the apical membrane. This regulation is controlled throug

Cities play a crucial role in mitigating climate change, yet reducing transportation emissions remains a challenge. Achieving decarbonization in the transportation sector requires systemic transformations across society. However, there is still a limited understanding of how transitions within transportation can be achieved, and further insight is needed to guide cities in driving transformative c
Mätinstrumentet Behavioural, Emotional and Social Skills Inventory (BESSI) togs fram för att mäta de färdigheter som är viktiga att ha för att hantera vardagslivet. Instrumentet utvecklades ursprungligen för vuxna, men forskning indikerar att barn- och ungdomsåren är en kritisk period för utveckling av dessa färdigheter och att färdigheterna kan påverka förmågan att hantera tillvaron och må bra. IThe Behavioral, Emotional and Social Skills Inventory (BESSI) is a measure designed to comprehensively assess behavioral, emotional and social skills necessary to manage daily life. The measure was originally developed for adults, but evidence suggests adolescence is a key period for the development of the BESSI skills and that these skills affect young peoples’ chances at managing life and experi
Trading commodities has been around for centuries, and today, most trading is done electronically on exchanges in derivatives contracts. Over time, regulatory bodies, specifically the CFTC, have sought to implement safeguards against market manipulation by participants. One such measure has been position limits on derivatives, which since January 1st, 2023, also includes so-called economically equ
This study aimed to examine second-generation immigrant women and their experiences of integration in Swedish society. Furthermore, the study explores what consequences and difficulties they experience in this endeavour. This study is conducted through qualitative semi-structured interviews with seven young women between the ages of 18-25 who have at least one foreign-born parent. In our theoretic
Ett flertal studier har undersökt personlighet och kognitiv förmåga i förhållande till livsutfall. Det är däremot färre longitudinella studier som undersökt dessa samband, vilket medför oklarhet i hur mycket individuella skillnader kan förklara livsutfall. Syftet med denna studie var att använda senaste europeiska tvillingdata för att undersöka personlighet och kognitiv förmåga som prediktorer förNumerous studies have examined personality and cognitive ability in relation to life outcomes. However, longitudinal studies examining these relationships are relatively scarce, leaving the extent to which individual differences can account for life outcomes still unclear. The focus of this study was to use the latest European twin data to study personality and cognitive ability as predictors for
The sport of disc golf has grown rapidly during the last five years, meaning a rapid increase in production of discs, and therefore also in the use of virgin plastics. The discs are usually produced with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or thermoplastic elastane (TPE). The disc golf market is dominated by a handfull of brands that all have one thing in common, their work on sustainability is eithe
