Biocides are chemical and biological pesticides used for preservation and disinfection. It’s being used, both in health care and everyday life, in products such as hand soap, cosmetics and textile fabrics. Studies have shown that, in textiles, a lot of the quantities of the biocides are being washed out during the life cycle of the product. This study aims to map in what extent biocides are being

The marketing materials of remote eye-trackers suggest that data quality is invariant to the position and orientation of the participant as long as the eyes of the participant are within the eye-tracker's headbox, the area where tracking is possible. As such, remote eye-trackers are marketed as allowing the reliable recording of gaze from participant groups that cannot be restrained, such as infan
Introduction: Fish β-parvalbumins are common targets of allergy-causing immunity. The nature of antibody responses to such allergens determines the biological outcome following exposure to fish. Specific epitopes on these allergens recognised by antibodies are incompletely characterised. Methods: High-content peptide microarrays offer a solution to the identification of linear epitopes recognised
By using metabolic engineering it is now possible to introduce new biosynthetic pathways or redirect already existing ones in a wide range of pro- and eukaryotic organisms. This thesis mainly addresses some approaches using metabolic engineering directed towards enhancing the stress tolerance in microorganisms and higher plants. The main approach employed in plants was to introduce the betA gene
A Relative Success? Notes on the circulation and wider reception of Scandinavian Crime In this paper Scandinavian crime, or Nordic Noir, in its filmic and televisual incarnations, will be considered on its relative merits as a transnationally successful, but regionally based popular cultural expression. The inquiry will be conducted against a backdrop which briefly traces the history and some of t
The European project ‘REsilient WAter Innovation for Smart Economy’ (REWAISE) aims to establish a novel ‘smart water ecosystem’ by integrating an advanced digital infrastructure for decentralized water services and decision-making, engaging all stakeholders to highlight the actual value of water. The approach will reduce the consumption of freshwater and energy while also recovering valuable nutri
Aromatic side chains (phenylalanine and tyrosine) of a protein flip by 180° around the Cβ-Cγ axis (χ2 dihedral of the side chain), producing two symmetry-equivalent states. The study of ring flip dynamics with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments helps to understand local conformational fluctuations. Ring flips are categorized as slow (milliseconds and onward) or fast (nanoseconds to near
This article draws on usability evaluations of a behavioural change intervention delivered as a web-based course. Special attention was given to usability as the course is directed at older adults aged 70 and above. Experiences from the usability evaluations in a lab environment and the real world, followed by stepwise refinements, can serve as examples of what must be considered in developing cou
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate ethnic differences in self reported health in the city of Malm, Sweden, and whether these differences could be explained by psychosocial and economic conditions.DESIGN/SETTING/PARTICIPANTS: The public health survey in Malm 1994 was a cross sectional study. A total of 5600 people aged 20-80 years completed a postal questionnaire. The partici
Metabolic stress is a phenomenon often discussed in conjunction with recombinant protein production in Escherichia coli. This investigation shows how heterologous protein production, and the presence of host cell proteases is related to: i) IPTG induction, ii) cell mass concentration at the time of induction and iii) the presence of metabolites (glutamic acid or those from TSB) during the post ind
The current confusion about what species are has two major causes. First, many authors discussing species concepts seem not to have considered for what purpose species are distinguished. Several proposed species concepts define species in a way that is only useful in a narrow field of advanced biological science. It is argued that species concepts should rather fulfil the needs of the majority of
Principen om fri bevisprövning, inbegripet principen om fri bevisföring och principen om fri bevisvärdering, är sedan länge en etablerad princip i svensk lag. Anonyma vittnen utgör däremot, trots principen, ett förbjudet bevismedel enligt svensk lag. Andra bevismedel, som överskottsinformation, anses däremot kunna motiveras med hänvisning till principen. Uppsatsen har därför kort sagt syftat till The principle of free sifting of evidence, including the free production of evidence and the free evaluation of evidence, has been a fundamental principle in Swedish law for a long time. Anonymous witnesses are despite the principle not allowed to present as evidence according to Swedish law. Other evidence, like surplus information, are however accepted according to the principle. The purpose of
Personality tests are a common tool in recruitment. A problem that may arise is candidates who adjust their answers in a socially desirable way to improve their chances of employment. The research question of this study was: “How the reporting of personality traits is affected by manipulation of the content of a fictional job advertisement and can this be interpreted as socially desirable respondi
This study aims to explore the development of a self-motivated (e.g. not policy or regulation initiated) closed-loop, clothing take-back program within a large sized enterprise in the fashion/apparel industry. From the perspective of a single case study – that of the Eileen Fisher Renew program – this thesis aims to explore, outline and describe EF Renew’s business model. The ultimate goal is to d
Är det möjligt att förlora något som aldrig funnits? Det verkar så, enligt det rådande rättsläget i svensk rätt. Rättssäkerhet innebär att rätten formellt ska vara förutsebar och materiellt visa respekt för grundläggande mänskliga och medborgerliga fri- och rättigheter. I uppsatsen diskuteras om det kan anses rättssäkert när en skadeståndsfordran som inte kunnat göras gällande blivit preskriberaIs it possible to lose something that never existed? It seems so, according to the current legal position in Swedish law. Legal certainty, the rule of law, entails that the legal system is formally foreseeable and materially respects fundamental human and civil rights and freedoms. This essay discusses if it can be considered to be in compliance with the rule of law if a claim for damages that co
Sedan ikraftträdandet av jurisdiktionen för den internationella brottmålsdomstolen (ICC) har endast medborgare i afrikanska stater prövats av domstolen. Detta faktum har väckt upprördhet och anklagelser om imperialism. Denna uppsats ämnar att granska Romstadgan, den bakomliggande traktaten, för att se om det är reglerna där som har resulterat i denna fördelning. Vidare ställs också frågan om vilkaSince the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC) came into force, only citizens of African countries has been tried by the Court. This fact has aroused anger and accusations of imperialism. This essay intends to examine the Rome Statute, the treaty which contains the rules of the ICC. The purpose is to see if the formulations in the statute has resulted in the current situation. Fu
