Recently, the anticancer activity of human a-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) has been linked to its increased membrane affinity in vitro, at neutral pH, and ability to cause leakage relative to the inactive native bovine alpha-lactalbumin (BLA) protein. In this study, atomic force microscopy resolved membrane distortions and annular oligomers (AOs) produced by HAMLET when deposited
Photosynthetic reaction centers convert sunlight into a transmembrane electrochemical potential difference, providing chemical energy to almost all life on earth. Light energy is efficiently transferred through chromophore cofactors to the sites, where charge separation occurs. We applied two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy to assess the role of coherences in the photoresponse of the bacterial
To probe internal motions in proteins on the 10−8−10−5 s time scale by NMR relaxation, it is necessary to eliminate protein tumbling. Here, we examine to what extent magnetic relaxation dispersion (MRD) experiments on the water 1H resonance report on protein motions in this time window. We also perform a critical test of two physically distinct mechanisms that have been proposed to explain and int
The normal flora furnishes the host with ecological barriers that prevent pathogen attack while maintaining tissue homeostasis. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) constitute a highly relevant model of microbial adaptation in which some patients infected with Escherichia coil develop acute pyelonephritis, while other patients with bacteriuria exhibit an asymptomatic carrier state similar to bacterial
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to a further understanding of how managers of heritage brands within the arts and cultural sector can embrace co-creation activities to engage with and attract a broader segment of the market. Methodology: The Royal Danish Theatre serves as a single-case study. It is drawn on data that was generated using a qualitative research approach.
The energy use in the building sector is increasing rapidly which contributes to the rise in global greenhouse gas concentration. Energy-efficient buildings are considered as healthy buildings due to the improved air quality and comfortable indoor environment. One million residential buildings were built in Sweden during 1965 and 1975 to minimize the acute housing shortage. This initiative was tak
The theme of this essay is to examine how prophet stories are presented for children. The specific aim is to analyze the narrative structure of two texts presenting the story of Adam. The study uses two Arabic children texts presenting the Story of Prophet Adam (pbuh). The study starts with presenting some theories and their typological frame of narratology and some of their narratological tools,
Historically, technological innovations have substituted human labor for decades and if the revolutionary technological developments continue, substitution may happen at an increasing pace. This increasing pace might place high demands on society to quickly adapt if high levels of technological unemployment are to be avoided. This paper examines how the computerization of society may affect the la
Value at Risk is a commonly used risk measure which calculates the smallest losses you risk to lose from having an asset, given a certain risk level and time period. Even though Value at Risk is applicable to all different types of assets, some studies suggest that this risk measure is not suitable for developing countries/emerging markets. This is because these countries’ assets generate very obs
Acknowledged from the existing literature regarding Daesh’s propaganda, the focus has mostly been on their propaganda on social media, such as Facebook and Twitter. However, I argue that a gap regarding Daesh’s propaganda is the lack of studies on Daesh’s online-magazine Dabiq and this thesis aim to fill this gap. I argue that Daesh’s way of arguing and framing their arguments are the key to under
This project examined how two contradictory aims of the national syllabus for the teaching of English in upper secondary school in Sweden were interpreted and realized by two EFL (English as a Foreign Language) teachers. The aims state that English education should be conducted in English as far as possible, yet also promote plurilingualism and allow skills in different languages to interact and s
The aim of this thesis is to analyse what ideas the gender politics of the Swedish nationalist party the Swedish Democrats consists of. The purpose of the study is to identify what they mean when talking about gender inequality and how women are portrayed in material concerning this issue. The objects of the study are written texts, pictures and a video produced by their women’s association SD-kvi
Sammanfattning Inom konkurrensrätten är kartellbildning väldigt allvarligt och det finns därför ett förbud mot detta vilket är konkurrenslagstiftningens allra viktigaste bestämmelse. Stadgandet finns dels inom EU-rätten, dels i svensk rätt och de ser i stora drag likadana ut. I takt med att EU utvecklat sitt program för att bekämpa kartellbildning har Sverige påverkats att ha ett mer EU-harmonisAbstract Within competition law, cartels are defined as a very serious and infringement and are prohibited. This ban exists both within EU law and in Swedish law and looks largely the same. As the EU has developed their program to combat cartels, Sweden has been affected to have a more harmonized EU system when it comes to combating these types of anti-competitive collaborations.

Excitation and emission polarization dependence of fluorescence intensity of single LH2 complexes from Rhodopseudomonas acidophila 10050 and Rhodobacter sphaeroides is reported. The results are presented as two-dimensional polarization plots and interpreted in terms of tilted light harvesting complexes indicating that sample preparation leads to partially oriented LH2 cylinders. An alternative exp
Limited information about the relationship between specific mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) and cancer risk exists.
