When designing compensation payments for biodiversity conservation measures setting appropriate incentives so that landowners select spatially connected land parcels for conservation is of key importance for many species. The proposition of an agglomeration bonus, where landowners receive a homogeneous payment and a bonus on top if the spatial allocation of conserved land benefits biodiversity, ha

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla levande organismer består av celler som tillsammans med molekyler generellt kallade extracellulär matrix bildar en vävnad. Celler innehåller fyra huvudgrupper av byggstenar: socker, fettsyror, aminosyror och nukleotider, vilka i tur och ordning bildar kolhydrater, fetter, proteiner och nukleinsyror. I vävnaderna pågår en ständig omsättning av byggstenarna och molek

Popular Abstract in English Airborne particulate matter is well known because of its adverse impacts on human health and its role in climate processes. In order to understand completely the role of aerosols in atmosphere, their chemical composition is of basic importance. Chemical analysis of aerosols involves broadly two steps, extraction step and detection/quantification of chemical constituentsAirborne particulate matter is well known because of its adverse impacts on human health and its role in climate processes. In order to understand completely the role of aerosols in atmosphere, their chemical composition is of basic importance.

At present, coconut proteins are discarded as a waste product by the coconut oil industry. If the range of applications of coconut proteins is to be expanded, their potential functionalities should be investigated. Emulsions and gels are of the greatest interest in food industry. Today the dry processing of copra at elevated temperatures is used to optimize the oil recovery. The functionalities o

Pseudouridine synthases (PUSs) catalyze the isomerization of uridine (U)-to-pseudouridine (Ψ) and have emerging roles in development and disease. How PUSs adapt gene expression under stress remains mostly unexplored. We identify an unconventional role for the Ψ "writer" PUS10 impacting intracellular innate immunity. Using Pus10 knockout mice, we uncover cell-intrinsic upregulation of interferon (I

Popular Abstract in English According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), 415 million people suffer from diabetes worldwide. Diabetes occurs when the pancreatic beta cells are no longer able to produce or properly use insulin. Insulin regulates blood glucose levels by enabling glucose uptake into cells, providing the body with energy. Elevated glucose levels cause damages to highly vasDiabetes mellitus is metabolic disorder caused by a defect or lack of beta cell-produced insulin that controls blood glucose homeostasis. In addition to glucose, insulin secretion is regulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS); the neurotransmitter acetylcholine as well as monoamines, such as dopamine, serotonin, melatonin and norepinephrine. Using a MafA mutant mouse model, we show that MafA

This study looks at potential contributions of the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC to eco-innovations addressing resource efficiency improvements of energy-related products. This aim is secondary to the prime objective of the Directive, the increase in energy efficiency of energy-related products. By conducting ten in-depth interviews, the study investigates whether and in what form the Directive,

Uppsatsen handlar om en analys av debatten kring den svenska militära insatsen i Afghanistan året 2010 då tre svenska soldater respektive en afghansk tolk stupade samt flera andra svenska soldater skadades. Till följd av detta, uppstod debatten på Aftonbladet (AB) mellan Jan Guillou och Jan Eliasson, på Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) uppstod debatten mellan Maria-Pia Boëthius och Carl Bildt och på Dagens

Min uppstas syftar till att få reda på de argument som låg till grund för kriminaliseringen av sexuell tjänst som kom 1999 och varför endast köparen kriminaliserades. Min uppsats sträcker sig över en lång period från 1977-2011. Vad jag fann var att samhället i stort gick från en syn på att prostitution var ett problem för mannen, kvinnan och samhället i stort till att allt mer rikta in sig på att
