The structure of eleven complexes of cadmium-substituted alcohol dehydrogenase with or without coenzyme and with different non-protein cadmium ligands has been estimated by combined quantum chemical and molecular mechanical geometry optimisations. The geometry of the optimised complexes is similar to the crystal structure of cadmium-substituted alcohol dehydrogenase, indicating that the method beh

One of the central themes in recent sustainable Development debates is the idea that alternative energy technological solutions can also alleviate poverty in parts of the global South. This idea is earmarked in this study as the alternative energy-poverty discourse. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis and Post-development theory; the study questions the extent to which the premise of this disco

Background As new product development is becoming more important due to higher and more global competition the new product introduction process needs to be efficient in order to launch new products before they become obsolete. Therefore, a more efficient development process with integrated functions is needed. Concurrent engineering claims to be this and has support in much research. However, conc

För tidigt födda och sjuka barn hamnar på neonatal avdelning där de ofta behandlas med kombinationer av flera olika intravenösa läkemedel. Att kombinera intravenösa läkemedel innebär dock en risk för inkompatibilitet i form av fällningar och subvisuella partiklar, vilket kan riskera i livshotande tillstånd så som till exempel funktionssvikt i flera organ samt allvarliga hjärt- och kärlproblem. SoThere is a lack of data concerning compatibility between intravenously administered drugs, especially for doses administered in neonatal care. Co-administrating drugs or other substances used in hospital care, for instance parenteral nutrition that are incompatible with each other can, in worst case scenarios, lead to fatal outcomes. It is not only important to study drug incompatibility at differ

This thesis explores how welfare crime is discursively constructed as a problem in policy documents from Järfälla, Malmö, and Uppsala, using Carol Bacchi’s What’ s the Problem represented to Be? (WPR) approach. Within a context of turbulence (Ansel et al 2024) the study examines how welfare crime is presented, what remains unproblematized, and the political and discursive effects of these represen

Consumption was one of the spheres of everyday life shaken and remoulded by the collapse of socialist regimes at the end of the 20th century. Especially in times of rapid change, a moral economies lens is a fruitful means to understand the contentious moral landscape and moral tensions that pervade consumption behaviour, norms and discourse. Important areas of consideration in post-socialist socie

In the wake of the deterioration of relations between modern Russia and Poland, the Katyn memorial has become a scene for the contestation of historical memory. In order to play down the 1940 executions of Polish military officers in Katyn, the Russian government has granted belated official recognition to 8,000 victims of Stalinism in the Smolensk region. After being brushed under the carpet in t

In all organisms, chromosome replication is regulated mainly at the initiation step. Most of the knowledge about the mechanisms that regulate replication initiation in bacteria has come from studies on rod-shaped bacteria, such as Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilisStreptomyces is a bacterial genus that is characterized by distinctive features and a complex life cycle that shares some propertie
