Oat is an excellent source of high-quality proteins. The protein content in cultivated oat is about 12%–15%. Oats with even higher protein contents would have great potential as a vegetative protein source. From a mutagenized oat population, 230 lines with seed protein levels of 15% or higher were identified from green house grown plants. Fifteen lines with protein levels ranging between 17 and 24
Hip fracture is the commonest reason for older people to need emergency anaesthesia and surgery, and leads to prolonged dependence for many of those who survive. People with this injury are usually identified very early in their hospital care, so hip fracture is an ideal marker condition with which to audit the care offered to older people by health services around the world.We have reviewed the r
Objective: To investigate patients’ mobility and satisfaction with their lower limb prosthetic or orthotic device and related service delivery in Malawi and to compare groups of patients regarding type and level of device and demographics. Methods: Questionnaires were used to collect self-report data from 83 patients. Results: Ninety percent of prostheses or orthoses were in use by patients, but a
Four experimental methods were used to study the phase diagram, as well as the thermodynamic and structural properties of the binary system n-octyl alpha-D-glucoside water in the temperature range 25-130degreesC. Sorption calorimetry allows one to determine the activity of water and enthalpy of mixing as functions of water content at constant temperature, while DSC scans temperature at constant co
In digital control systems, the state is sampled at given sampling instants and the input is kept constant between two consecutive instants. With the optimal sampling problem, we mean the selection of sampling instants and control inputs, such that a given function of the state and input is minimized. In this paper, we formulate the optimal sampling problem and we derive a necessary condition of t
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the phenomenon of online spoof illustrations that are created in the aftermath of a reputational brand crisis. In a first step, characteristics of these illustrations are assessed and categorized. Subsequently, their impact on a brand’s reputation is investigated. Methodology: An exploratory sequential mixed method approach was applied, with initi
The site is at Carnide, a peripheral area at the Northern end of Lisbon. The neighborhood has its roots in the late ’50s with strong cultural traditions. Unlike other areas from Lisbon or other cities from Portugal, this area is lacking social interaction spaces. Portuguese culture very much depends on these public spaces and squares. Even the smallest town in Portugal has a square. The aim is to
Natural light brings a sense of presence to the physical environment. The interaction between natural light and form puts us in connection with place in a way that can not be simulated or replaced with artificial light. This relationship has fascinated and engaged architects of all times, you could claim that the question of light and form lies at the core of architecture. It is hard to work with
Syftet med detta examensarbete var att ta fram en enkel och lättförståelig hygienutbildning för nyanställda på Arla i Götene, Västergötland. På detta mejeri tillverkar Arla smör och ost och är även distribution plats för Arlas övriga produkter. När livsmedelverket genomförde en revision av livsmedelsindustrin framkom det avsevärda brister i dokumentation av uppställda rutiner. Även om hygienutbildThis aim of the thesis work was develop a simple and easily understandable hygiene education for new employees at Arla in Götene, Västergötland. At this dairy, Arla produces butter and cheese and is also the place for distribution of Arla's other products. When the national food agency conducted a review of the food industry, the significant shortcomings in the documentation of established pro
Different approaches have been used to test capital structure theories empirically. In this paper the statement that Myers and Majluf (1984) discussed, that a low risk debt issue should affect the firm value less than a high risk equity issue, is explored and tested by applying an event study approach similar to the one Eckbo (1986) carried out on different kinds of debt issuances. There are also
Värdering av tillgångar har betydelse i flera avseenden. Denna uppsats har till syfte att utreda hur värderingen går till vid tvångsmässiga situationer och även att identifiera vilka kriterier som påverkar värderingsprocessen i olika tvångsmässiga värderingssituationer. Jag har valt att granska fem olika tvångsmässiga situationer, nämligen konkurs, företagsrekonstruktion, utmätning, expropriation Valuation of assets is important in several aspects. This essay has aimed to investigate how the valuation is done in compulsory situations and to identify the criteria’s that affect the valuation process in compulsory situations. I have chosen to examine five different compulsory situations, namely bankruptcy, corporate reorganization, foreclosure, expropriation and the preparation of a control b
Digital subscriber lines (DSLs) technology is vastly used for high-speed data transmission. Crosstalk is one of the main problems in DSL. The research community has done extensive work on how to optimize spectrum allocation across DSL frequencies and mitigate crosstalk, a subject that has been called dynamic spectrum management (DSM). This text presents a novel DSM solution, referred to as semibli
Background: Inherited factors predisposing individuals to breast and ovarian cancer are largely unidentified in a majority of families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). We aimed to identify germline copy number variations (CNVs) contributing to HBOC susceptibility in the Finnish population. Methods: A cohort of 84 HBOC individuals (negative for BRCA1/2-founder mutations and pre-scr
The Department of Physics at Lund University is participating in a European Union project called EUMAPP (European Union Microdose AMS Partnership Programme), in which sample preparation and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements of biological samples from microdosing studies have been made. This paper describes a simplified method of converting biological samples to solid graphite for C-
Motives and reasons behind a decision to change the asylum process in Sweden are the central concern for this thesis. A symbolic political perspective will be applied in order to elucidate the symbolic factors that have influenced the decision process. The Aliens Appeal Board in Sweden will close down at the end of March 2006 and all pending and future cases will henceforth be decided by three ad
The first condition for the legal use of force in self-defence is that the state exercising this right is the victim of an armed attack. Typically, an armed attack is carried out across the frontier of the aggressor state into the territory of the victim state. Armed attacks can also be launched from third states, as well as not involve the territory of any other state than the aggressor state. De
Syftet med denna studie var att få en uppfattning av psykoterapeuters upplevelse av mellanrummet mellan terapitimmarna, och vilken betydelse psykoterapeuten ger detta utrymme. Denna kvalitativa studie har genomförts utifrån fenomenologisk ansats. Semistrukturerade intervjuer användes där åtta legitimerade psykoterapeuter, med lång yrkeserfarenhet och med olika psykoterapeutiska inriktningar, interThe purpose of this study was to explore how Psychotherapists experience their space between therapysessions, and what that space meant to them and their work. This qualitative study has been carried out based on a phenomenological approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight licensed psychotherapists, with long professional experience and with different psychotherapeutic orienta
Varje år får cirka 50 000 svenskar diagnosen cancer. Mot detta är strålbehandling en vanlig behandlingsmetod och det uppskattas att cirka en tredjedel av alla som får cancer någon gång under sin behandling får strålbehandling. En viktig sak inom strålbehandling är att patienten får den dos som läkaren har ordinerat. Detta är en så vital detalj inom strålbehandling att SSI, Statens StrålskyddsinsIndependent dose calculations in radiotherapy are important as they help assure that the dose given to the patient is the same as the prescribed. The current version of software Radiation Verification Programme, RVP, does not take into account the effects that occur when a beam from a linear accelerator is moved off-axis. The aim with this project was to find a model for these effects, fit the par
Utgångspunkten är att all vård ska ges på frivillig väg. Genom Lag (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU) har staten en skyldighet att vårda barn och unga vars hälsa eller utveckling riskerar att skadas på grund av missförhållanden i hemmet, trots att behövligt samtycke inte går att få. LVU är en skyddslagstiftning för barn och unga och andemeningen i lagen är att de insatser sVoluntarism is an important starting point upon which all care should be based upon. Through the law (1990:52) with special regulation regarding the care of young people (LVU), the state must care for children and young people whose health or development is at risk of being harmed due to poor conditions in the child's home, even though the necessary consent cannot be obtained. LVU is a protec
