The overall aim of this work was to increase our knowledge of newborn infants and their mothers, gain a better understanding of attachment and the infants' development and identify infants at risk for poorer emotional, social and cognitive development. An interdisciplinary approach was used. Six studies are included in the thesis. Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) and its relation to neurobehavioural st

The ability to understand packaging and how it contributes to the establishment of efficient logistics and the creation of individualised values for consumers is becoming increasingly important. This licentiate thesis stresses the importance of applying a holistic view of packaging in order to be able to understand how to adapt the distribution channel to meet consumer demands. The study focuses o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Polyaminer finns i alla levande celler, såväl i bakterier som i växter, djur och människor, och utgör en mycket viktig beståndsdel i dessa. Utan dessa polyaminer kan inte cellerna växa och dela sig. Polyaminerna putrescin, spermidin och spermin bildas i cellen från aminosyran ornitin. Till sin hjälp för denna bildning har cellerna ett enzym vid namn ornitindekarboxylas The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine have been shown to be involved in cell growth and differentiation, and are considered to be crucial components of the living cell. The synthesis of polyamines in the cell is strictly regulated. The first and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of polyamines is catalysed by the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Mammalian ODC has a very fast

The main objectives with this investigation are firstly to compare important parameters of a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (cMUT) for air applications with a corresponding piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer. Secondly, to characterise the cMUT's radiation field using light diffraction tomography. The cMUTs consist of a silicon backplate with small pyramid-shaped cavities and a met

The biological functions of proteins depend on their physical interactions with other molecules, such as proteins and peptides. Therefore, modeling the protein-ligand interactions is important for understanding protein functions in different biological processes. We have focused on the cleavage specificities of HIV-1 protease, HCV NS3 protease and caspases on short oligopeptides or in native prote
