Different electron mediators were evaluated for the electromicrobial reduction of chloropyruvate to chlorolactate. The reaction was catalyzed by a mediatol-dependent D-lactate dehydrogenase in whole cells of Proteus vulgaris and yielded D-(S)-chlorolactate with high optical purity (> 97% e.e.). The ideal mediatol should favor a high rate in the enzymatic reaction and a low rate in the nonenzymatic
Objective. To evaluate the Cockcroft - Gault (CG) equation, using various body weight expressions, and the Sawyer equation in predicting glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using an enzymatic and zero-calibrated Jaffe plasma-creatinine assay, and to derive a new robust equation in adults. Material and methods. The CG weight measures included total, ideal and adjusted body weight (ABW; lowest of total
The purpose of this paper is to defend G. E. Moore's open question argument, understood as an argument directed against analytic reductionism, the view that moral properties are analytically reducible to non-moral properties. In the first section I revise Moore's argument in order to make it as plausible and resistant against objections as possible. In the following two sections I develop the argu
OBJECTIVES: Using a nationally-representative, cross-sectional cohort, we examined nutritional markers of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes in adults via machine learning.METHODS: A total of 16429 men and non-pregnant women ≥ 20 years of age were analysed from five consecutive cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Cohorts from years 2013-2016 (n = 6673) was used for external va
With the palliative care workforce shortage and changes in advance care planning reimbursement, many institutions are requesting that palliative care specialists provide serious illness communication training across their institution's workforce. Based on our experience training clinicians to use the Partners Serious Illness Conversation Guide, a structured guide to teach basic palliative care com
Hydrological modelling is essential for effective water resources management, as it represents complex physical processes through mathematical equations to improve our understanding of the water cycle. FLEXG is a glacio-hydrological model that has been successfully applied and found to perform well in glacierized regions. This study seeks to improve the capability of classical FLEXG model for glac
According to conventional economic wisdom, deregulation and liberalization of private and public enterprises will enhance competition, which will lead to an expansion of production, trade, and general welfare. As more markets are deregulated and more services are being privatized, the public procurement market is expanding and more professionals will come in contact with public procurement either
Användandet av s.k. kodifikationer som lagstiftningsmodell växte i popularitet som tydligast från och med upplysningstiden. Kodifikationen ämnar ge en fullständig, systematisk och tydlig bild av lagen. Modellen användes av flertalet framväxande nationalstater i 1800-talets Europa, där kodifikationen förstärkte och legitimerade centralstyret. I Sverige uppmärksammades behovet av en reformerad civilThe usage of the legislative model codification grew in popularity from the enlightenment on. The codification aims to present a complete, clear and systematic view of the law. The model was used by several emerging national states in 19th century Europe, where the codification was used to strengthen and legitimize the central power. In Sweden, the pressing need for a reformed civil law was recogn
Vräkning är en av de mest ingripande åtgärder och traumatiserande upplevelser som någon, särskilt ett barn, kan vara med om. Under 2017 vräktes enligt Kronofogdemyndighetens statistik 392 barn och hyresskulder utgör den vanligaste orsaken till att en barnfamilj avhyses. I nästan hälften av fallen sker avhysningen för hyresskulder för belopp under 10 000 kronor. Detta trots att det är mer fördelaktEviction is one of the most traumatic experiences anybody experience – a fact which holds especially true for children. According to the statistics of the Swedish Enforcement Authority 392 children were evicted in Sweden during the year of 2017. Rental debt is the most common cause of the eviction of families, and in almost half of all cases the debt amounts to less than 10 000 SEK. That said, it
After the Brexit referendum on the 23rd of June 2016 it is evident that the UK might be leaving the EU. In light of EU law, and the leave-campaign, the question of what will happen to UK merger control post-Brexit is especially riveting due to the internationality of merger control and the high impact of EU-control on competition law. Thus, the purpose of this thesis is to examine what would be th
This study intended to research the concept of knowledge diffusion in an innovative environment such as a science park. In a first step, the existing literature was reviewed to extract the most important concepts and to purposefully develop five hypotheses. Those were further tested in the case of Ideon Science Park in Lund, Sweden. The research shows that the intentions of the management at Ideon
The study focuses on the eco-design of sustainable packaging solutions for plant-based meat analogues, particularly plant-based burger patties. This is in response to the growing need for more sustainable dietary choices which can replace those of animal-based meat. Currently, most of the plant-based meat analog products in the market are packaged like meat products, which in turn are more sensiti
Title: “Language is access to everything” - A qualitative study of SFI-teachers' experience of the transition to digitalized distance education. Authors: Rania Elwan and Fitore Mehmeti Supervisor: Karin Kullberg Assessor: Maria Bergendal Arvidsson The purpose of the study is to investigate from teachers for Swedish for immigrants (SFI) perspective how the transition to digitalized distance ed
In 2019 there was a revision of the rental legislation in Chapter 12 of the Swedish Land Code. The amendment introduced new rules to solve several problems in the rental housing market. One of the main problems addressed were unreasonable rent levels in the sublease market, and a new rule was introduced to solve this problem. The rule is a reference framework for what constitutes a legal, acceptab
Den här uppsatsen handlar om de förändringar på bästa tillgängliga teknik, d.v.s. BAT, som implementeringen av industriutsläppsdirektivet (IED) har inneburit. Syftet är att diskutera hur och på vilket sätt BAT har utvecklats i Sverige till följd av IED. BAT tillhör de allmänna hänsynsreglerna vilket gör den central vid all form av yrkesmässig verksamhet. I sammanhanget är principen om BAT tillämp
Food insecurity is a reality faced by millions of people worldwide. Poor access and availability to food markets, poverty, and uncertain global system futures all exacerbate this issue. In seeking to combat food insecurity for South Carolina residents and improve the viability and resilience of local food markets around Greenville County, South Carolina, this assessment determines optimal potentia
Sustainability Reporting (SR) has hitherto been discretionary in most Asian countries; however, a new paradigm – mandatory SR – is emerging in South Korea, provoked by the EU’s SR regulation, Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) and Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The Korean government plans to enforce SR legislation in 2025, targeting large firms. However, little is known
