Recent experiments uncovered a mutational pathway between two proteins, along which a single mutation causes a switch in fold. Searching for such paths between real proteins remains, despite this achievement, a true challenge. Here, we analyze fold switching in the minimalistic hydrophobic/polar model on a square lattice. For this analysis, we generate a comprehensive sequence-structure database f

In this paper a parallel implementation of three methods, Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel and Successive over relaxation (SOR), for solving large and sparse linear systems derived from Poisson type PDEs are investigated in order to find the faster solver method. Workload which is decoupled can be done faster in parallel than sequentially. We use a grid to discretize the PDE and the order of the grid cells yi

This study analyzes why right-wing populism has achieved great success in France, unlike in Spain where right-wing populism lacks parliamentary representation. The analysis is theoretical and to some extent statistical and focuses on the economic, social, cultural and political structures of France and Spain, as well as the success of the French Right-wing Party, Front National. By comparing the d

Kvinnans rätt till arbete har inte varit självklar. Historiskt sett var idealet länge att kvinnan skulle vara en god hustru och mor som bidrog till hushål-lets funktion och barnens uppfostran. Med tiden började denna kvinnobild och situation dock förändras och vid 1800-talets mitt skedde ett flertal stora förändringar. Två av dessa var lagreformerna om kvinnlig näringsfrihet samt kvinnans rätt att

Right-wing populism has spread across the European continent during the 21th century, this paper examines if this also is the case on the social media platform Facebook. Through the use of multivariate ordinary linear regression models the thesis seeks to answer if right-wing populist parties and leaders in 12 western European countries generate more followers on their official Facebook accounts t

In myoelectric prosthesis design, there is often a trade-off between control robustness and range of executable movements. As a low movement error rate is necessary in any real application, this often results in a quite severe limitation on the dexterity of the user. One possible remedy for this could come from the use of multi-label machine learning methods, where complex hand movements can be ex

The debate about Daddy Months in the Swedish parental insurance as a method to increase gender equality is lively. Advocates for Daddy Months mean that making a part of the parental insurance only available to father’s, increases gender equality while opponents mean that they restrict individual autonomy. The biggest debate in today’s political philosophy is supposedly between communitarians and

Sedan 1950-talet har omfattningen av anståndsreglerna i skattelagstiftningen utökats och gjorts mindre och mindre restriktiva. Lagstiftaren har gång på gång uttalat en önskan om att utöka möjligheterna till anstånd för att bättre ta tillvara den enskildes intresse av att inte behöva betala felaktigt påförd skatt och gång på gång har reglerna visat sig tillämpas allt för restriktivt vilket i sin tuSince the 1950s, the scope of the tax regulations regarding postponed payment has been expanded and the regulations made less and less restrictive. The legislature has repeatedly expressed a desire to extend the possibility for the individual to be granted a postponed payment in order better to meet the interest of the tax payer not to have to pay undue taxes. Repeatedly the rules have proved too

During the last few years the Swedish currency has depreciated against the Euro and the US-dollar, despite the Swedish economy growing faster than expected. Disagreement in prior research regarding exchange rate fluctuations among with the situation in Sweden, is the motivation behind this report. This paper examines the factors responsible for the depreciation of the Swedish Krona in 2018, based

The decline suffered by grassland pollinators in the south of Sweden may have great consequences resulting in the loss of important ecosystem services. However, cities may mitigate this effect as parks and other urban green areas can act as refuges for high pollinator diversity. Here I try to assess the status of the butterfly populations in the city of Malmö using as a reference a study carried o
