The purpose of this study was to examine how Romanian social workers, working with LGBT-people, experience their work situation and the conditions for their work. The questions at issue were; How do the social workers describe their work and the conditions for conducting this work? What kind of attitudes do they meet, regarding their work, from the surrounding society? What kinds of strategies are
The producing of safe products is very important for the food industry today due to increasing awareness of the consumers and competition in the market. To reduce the risk of pathogenic bacteria in the food industry a structured decision analysis is needed. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate which hazardous events that have occurred in the food industry, in which way these events best are
Ecosystem services that people depend upon for their well-being are being lost at an alarming rate. These services include the provisioning of natural resources, food, medicine, flood protection, climate regulation, water purification, and biodiversity retention. In the U.S., the main threat to these services comes from the rapid pace of land conversion. In just a twenty- year period, an area the
I denna uppsats behandlas den svenska regleringen av barnpornografibrottet och vad den omfattar efter 2010 års lagändring. Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa om syftet med lagändringen har uppnåtts, att göra all befattning olagligt för att mer effektivt kunna bekämpa barnpornografi. Uppsatsen ger en detaljerad redogörelse för de ändringar som gjorts sedan regleringen infördes 1980. Utöver det tas In this essay the Swedish regulation regarding child pornography is discussed focused on parts included in the regulation after the amendment 2010. The purpose is to discuss if the intention with the new amendment has been achieved, that is to criminalize all types of behaviors related to child pornography for enabling more effective crime prevention. The essay presents a thorough review on what c
Our thesis examines how social services are portrayed and reviewed in media. We chose to focus on two cases from two different townships, brought to attention by a Swedish TV show called Uppdrag granskning during two different coverages. The cases are called “Mardrömmen” and “Processen”. These cases involve children and their families who have been in contact with social services regarding allegat
Landslide is one of the most important natural hazards that make numerous financial damages and life losses each year in the worldwide. Identifying the susceptible areas and prioritizing them in order to provide an efficient susceptibility management is very vital. In current study, a comparative analysis was made between combined bivariate and AHP models (bivariate-AHP) with a logistic regression
Med utgångspunkt i Malmö Brandkårs jämställdhetsprojekt "Kvinnlig brandman" vill vi genom denna uppsats exemplifiera hur en sådan satsning aktualiserar föreställningar om jämställdhet och kön inom organisationen. Uppfattningarna kring kön och jämställdhet var många, och resonemangen ofta paradoxala. Samtidigt fanns det en slående likhet mellan åsikterna hos en majoritet av personalen i d
Eight libraries, seven public libraries and one college library, in the northeast of Skåne serve as foundation in a collaboration where students and adult learners are placed in the center of attention. The aim of this Master's thesis in library and information science was to study how the students and adult learners in the northeast of Skåne perceive the library services that are developed wi
Computational modeling is a commonly used method to understand, predict and explain for instance the organization of neuronal connectivity. Here it is applied to the problem of the development of the neural control of locomotion. Locomotion, e.g. walking and swimming, can be characterized as an alternate activation of opposing muscles and is controlled by central pattern generators, CPGs, in the s
Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMV) have gained attention as a promising new cancer vaccine platform for efficiently provoking immune responses. However, OMV induce severe toxicity by activating the innate immune system. In this study, we applied a simple isolation approach to produce artificial OMV that we have named Synthetic Bacterial Vesicles (SyBV) that do not induce a severe toxic respon

Introduction: Side-stream residue, oat okara, from the oat-milk production contains valuable nutrients but possesses a high risk of microbial spoilage. Valorisation of oat okara is therefore important to make sure that the oat beverage production stays sustainable. In this project, High-pressure processing (HPP), heat treatment and Lactobacillus fermentation have been evaluated for their microbial
The ligand-binding domain (LBD) of PPARγ was studied in complex with the full agonist rosiglitazone in double- and triple-resonance NMR spectrom- etry experiments. The long-term aim was to better understand the structure and dynamics of the complex, and therefore how the transcription factor func- tions in vivo. The protein LBD was expressed in E. coli and complexed with rosiglitazone, and backbon
A new taxonomy of the Caloplaca citrina group in the Black Sea region is presented. It is based on the nrDNA ITS molecular data, chemistry (anthraquinone contents) and 20 morphological characters. Six species previously known in the region are accepted: Caloplaca arcis, C. calcitrapa, C. dichroa, C. flavocitrina, C. geleverjae, C. limonia. Five new species are described: Caloplaca arcisproxima, C.
Affinity two-phase partitioning based on an immunoaffinity sandwich approach for the rapid and selective purification of membranes is presented in this thesis. The method was developed by studying different parameters governing the affinity partitioning of model membranes. To this end, biotinylated liposomes were used. They specifically distributed to the bottom phase of a poly (ethylene glycol)/d
For the development of single–ion irradiation system for living cells at the Lund Ion Beam Analysis facility (LIBAF) newly developed pre-cell (PC) detectors have been investigated. Central to the thesis is the fabrication and initial characterization of more than 100 ultra-thin silicon detectors having different thicknesses down to 5 μm with active areas ranging from 0.71 to 0.172 mm2, to be used
Ever since the release of the Kyoto protocol the demand for CO2-free processes have been increasing. In this paper three different concepts with no or a very small release of CO2 to the atmosphere are evaluated and compared concerning plant efficiency and investment cost. A novel approach to biomass gasification is proposed to provide fuel for a combined gas turbine cycle, where the bio
Applications of immobilized biocatalysts in both research and industry require highly active catalysts, preferably at a low cost. In this study, cryogels with high catalyst density were produced through cryostructuration of whole Escherichia coli (E.coli) cells. Prepared cryogels are macroporous materials composed of metabolically active cells crosslinked to each other via polymeric structures. Di
