Yeasts are unicellular fungi exhibiting a huge diversity of life styles and physiologies and their evolutionary span exceeds the one between mammals and unchordates. The recent advances in genome sequencing and comparative genomics accelerated genomic, evolutionary and physiological studies of yeasts, making them a very promising model to study eukaryotic cell, and also deepened our understanding

The human L3MBTL gene is located in 20q12, a region that is commonly deleted in myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). L3MBTL is highly homologous to the D-lethal(3) malignant brain tumor [D-l(3)mbt] gene, which is a putative tumor-suppressor gene (TSG) identified in Drosophila and which is closely related to the Drosophila sex combs

A single vaginal washing with 2 g/l of chlorhexidine was performed before rupture of the membranes in 19 parturients who were urogenital carriers of group B streptococci (GBS). Two (11%) of the infants became colonized immediately after birth, in contrast to 16 of 41 (39%) infants to controls (P = 0.02). A significant reduction of GBS colonization of the ear (P = 0.02) and umbilicus (P = 0.01) was

The main function of the reactor containment, i.e. to ensure tightness at a major internal accident, depends directly on the prestressing system. To secure that the prestress level is sufficient, the tendon force has been measured during the whole time of operation. The general results from these measurements show that the loss of prestress 30 years after tensioning is between 5 and 10%. This is m

The trend within fluid industry is towards continuous production, leading to an increasing demand for new and improved methods that allow real-time monitoring of quality parameters and fast process control. The consistency and viscosity can be described by fluid rheology and are frequently used as quality control parameters. Rheological properties can be correlated with product microstructure, the

The constant need for higher performance and more advanced functionality has made the design and manufacturing of modern electronic chips highly demanding. Moreover, the use of smaller transistors in modern chips has increased their sensitivity to aging and faults, hence the need to constantly monitor the correct operation of these chips. To address the challenges and requirements, it has become c

Aims. We seek to provide abundances of a large set of light and neutron-capture elements homogeneously analyzed that cover a wide range of metallicity to constrain globular cluster (GC) formation and evolution models. Methods. We analyzed a large sample of 885 GCs giants from the SDSS IV-Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey. We used the Cannon results to separate

This study assessed the ability of the tongue tip to accurately select intra-oral sensors embedded in a upper palatal interface of 19 able-bodied volunteers. Tongue selectivity performance measures were determined for three different tongue-computer interface layouts. Assessment of intra-oral target selection speed and accuracy revealed that performance was dependent on the location and distance b

I samhällsdebatten har åsikter om en mer effektiv brottsbekämpning växt fram på den senaste tiden. Debatten har utmynnat i flertalet offentliga utredningar som presenterar potentiella lagändringar. Förslagen innebär att en avvägning måste göras mellan effektiv brottsbekämpning och rättssäkerhet, eftersom dessa medför en stor risk att individens rättigheter inskränks. Syftet med uppsatsen är att bIn the public debate, opinions about more effective law enforcement have emerged in recent years. The debate has resulted in public investigations that present potential changes to the law. The proposals imply that a balance must be struck between effective law enforcement and the rule of law, as the proposals entails a great risk for the rights of the individual to be restricted. The purpose of

Security lighting plays a vital role for safe evacuation during an emergency such as power outage or a fire related incidence. Installing a security lighting system properly is more crucial for a horse riding facility for two reasons. Firstly, if a sports activity is ongoing at the exact moment of an emergency, the activity needs to be ended safely with the help of security lights to avoid injurie

The building sector contributes to one-fifth of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and consumes 40 % of the final energy consumption. To achieve the climate goals set by the Swedish government, the building sector requires rapid development to reduce its climate impact. The climate impact of buildings comes from two types of energy throughout the building's lifecycle: operational an

Since the feminist movement developed today, women still face the challenges of gender inequality. In some countries, women even cannot see the hope for change. Hence, when aiming to counteract gender inequality, it is important to address the macro level and the micro level. The research focuses on the micro level of resistance to gender inequality instead of large-scale protest movements to exp

Uppsatsen undersöker förutsättningarna att meddela deldomar under till-ståndsprocessen i miljömål och hur dessa förhåller sig till legalitetsprincipen och rättssäkerheten. Deldomar är en lösning för att snabbare kunna påbörja miljöfarlig verksamhet. Deldomsprocessen är dock inte särskilt föreskriven i miljöbalken, området är huvudsakligen praxisstyrt. Uppsatsen använder en rättsdogmatisk metod förThe paper examines the conditions for issuing partial judgments during the permit process in environmental cases and how this relates to the principle of legality and legal certainty. Partial judgments may speed up the start of envi-ronmentally hazardous activities. However, the partial judgment process is not specifically prescribed in the Environmental Code; the area is mainly practice-driven. T

Narratives surrounding AI-technology have long been a fixture in news media, ranging from stories rooted in science-fiction, where robots take over the world, to reports on breakthroughs in machine-learning, which help doctors make better medical decisions. These narratives simultaneously highlight present-day shifts in social practices as well as paving the way for future visions of a society sha

This research aims to understand the frames used by conspiracy theorists by establishing a new pathway in media framing, or in other words a media framing micro-theory, called conspiratorial framing​. The aims are accomplished through a critical analysis of the case of Alex Jones, a conspiracy theorist, and InfoWars, the media channel through which Jones operates. Through frame analysis, accomplis
