The transcription factor WUSCHEL and the peptide CLAVATA3 have key roles to plat in the regulatory network effecting the differentiation of the stem cells at the shoot apical meristem of Arabidopsis. The signal pathway of this network has been under investigation for several years and models utilizing the already identified parts of the network have been developed. Such models have however so fa

Germany is generally considered to be a country that is free trade friendly and had, at the start of the TTIP negotiations, a majority in favour of TTIP. Now however, Germany has amongst the lowest levels of public support of TTIP of all EU member states, while a majority at the same time remain positive of international trade and even increased trade with the US. Previous studies have shown that

This thesis presents and tests the convergence rate of the Dirichlet-Neumann algorithm for two Poisson equations coupled by transmission boundary conditions. Three second order discretisation methods are used when analyzing the convergence: standard equidistant finite difference, standard adaptive linear finite element, and standard adaptive finite volume discretisation of Poisson's equation.

The growing popularity of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) demands continuous improvement and optimization of the training process to achieve higher-performing algorithms at a lower computational cost. During training an ANN learns to solve a problem by looking at examples, and will iteratively go over a dataset to reach an optimal performance. Usually the user needs to define a fixed number of it

Democracy is both a question of who the people are (demos) and how they rule (kratos); our understanding of democracy is imbalanced in favour of the latter. The aim of this thesis is to conduct a pilot project evaluating and comparing the level of democracy from a demos perspective through an index. The findings of a research review establishes the theoretical foundation of the index, which is the

This study describes three young men and four young women and their quest for identity in a culture they, for many reasons, never seriously considered to be their own. The aim of the study was to find out, through interviews, what characterizes the culture of individuals identified as “blattar”, individuals with a cross-cultural background growing up and living in Sweden. We wanted to find out wha

Studiens syfte var att observera och beskriva hur fotbollstränare i en förening i södra Skåne agerar gentemot spelare i ett flicklag och pojklag. Utefter detta utformades studien samt uppsatsen. Vi använde oss av en öppen observation som design och ett observationsschema som instrument. Observationsschemat inspirerades av något äldre, tidigare forskning (Young, 1980; Andreasson, 2007; Fundberg, 20The study’s purpose was to observe and describe how football coaches in a club in southern Skåne acted towards players in a girls team and a boys team. The study and the paper was designed according to this purpose. We used an open observation as design and an observing schedule as an instrument. The observation schedule was inspired by older, previous research (Young, 1980; Andreasson, 2007; Fund

This thesis aims to provide a case study for a critical theory of mythopoetics, via analysis of four ‘Brexit narratives’: The Bad Boys of Brexit by Arron Banks, Unleashing Demons by Craig Oliver, All Out War by Tim Shipman and The Brexit Club by Owen Bennett. My objective is to demonstrate the prevalence of mythopoetics in political and historical discourse, via analysis of four competing politica

Since the outbreak of the Syrian crisis in 2011,the number of Syrian refugees reached approximately 3 million; nearly half of them are children. Although primary education has always been available, education services for Syrian refugees were subject to frequent changes particularly between 2011-2014. The biggest and most significant step was taken in the 2016/2017 school year as a result of long-

The goal of this study was to get the first-line managers in municipal elderly care view on the relationship between them and their employees, what kind of factors matter when building the relationship, and also how different styles of leadership could affect the process. The selection of participants was chosen by finding first-line managers in municipal elderly care within driving distance from

This study analyses the relationship between the vision for education in Uganda through indigenous NGOs, the state of Uganda, and the United Nations. Investigation of whether they are consensual or constitute a discrepancy and what consequences that indicate, is also investigated. The material consists of the vision statement for education from 58 indigenous NGOs, the state document Uganda Vision

The thesis researches opinion representation in Sweden in regards to the EU, with the goal of finding out if Swedish voters are represented in regards to the EU. This is done by researching what the Swedish voters’ as well as the Swedish politicians’ opinions are on increased European integration. Theories of representation and opinion representation are presented. Two different studies are compar

Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka utvecklingen av efterlevande makes arvsrätt i Finland och Sverige under 1900-talet, med fokus på argumentationen bakom den. De är två länder med nära historiskt, samhälleligt och kulturellt samband, vilket gör rättshistorien och jämförelsen intressant. Utvecklingen startade från att makarna inte hade någon arvsrätt alls i länderna och gick hand i hand ända fram tiThe purpose of this paper is to study how the surviving spouse’s inheritance rights in case of death of the other spouse have developed during the twentieth century in Finland and Sweden. The focus will be on the arguments behind the legislations and how they developed during the reforms over the years, and how they differ, or don’t, between the two countries. Due to the countries’ shared history

The use of cannabis has increased in Sweden, and Malmö is one of the cities in which a big part of the inhabitants have tried the illicit drug. At the same time, the government works to increase the sanctions on cannabis use and possession. Thus, since the legislation on cannabis in Sweden is becoming more strict while a big part of Malmös citizens use cannabis, this study has aimed to investigate

Nationalparker utgör ett centralt element i naturvård runt hela jorden. Utöver naturvård så utgör tron på deras positiva effekt för regionalekonomisk utveckling en allt vanligare motivering för att grunda nya nationalparker. Forskningsläget kring omfattningen av sådana effekter är dock oklart och den ekonomiska effekten av nationalparker i Syd-, Väst, och Mellansverige har inte analyserats i någonNational parks are key parts of worldwide conservation initiatives. Increasingly, they are being founded not only to meet conservation goals but also because of their potential positive impact on regional economies. However, the results of previous research are ambiguous when it comes to assessing the magnitude of this effect and no such studies have been conducted for national parks in southern,

In this study, a potentiometric glucose biosensor was fabricated by immobilization of glucose oxidase on to zinc oxide nanowires. Zinc oxide nanowires with 250-300 nm diameters and approximately 1.2 mu m lengths were grown on the surface of silver wires with a diameter of 250 mu m. Glucose oxidase (GOD) was electrostatically immobilized on the surface of the well aligned zinc oxide nanowires resul

Changes in sulphur and nitrogen pollution in Swedish forests have been assessed in relation to European emission reductions, based on measurements in the Swedish Throughfall Monitoring Network. Measurements were analysed over 20 years with a focus on the 12-year period 1996 to 2008. Air concentrations of SO2 and NO2, have decreased. The SO4-deposition has decreased in parallel with the European em

We present experimental measurements of the vibrational relaxation of CO2 (12(0)1) by argon, at ambient temperature (295 +/- 2 K). The CO2 molecules were directly excited to the (12(0)1, J = 14) ro-vibrational state by a tunable laser radiation at similar to 2 mu m. Time-resolved infrared fluorescence technique was used to study the collisional relaxation process. The bimolecular deactivation rate

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine the perceived discretion among middle managers in municipal elderly care. The method used was four semistructured interviews with four middle managers. To analyze the results, the situational leadership theory and Bolman and Deal´s structural and human resource theory is used. The questions answered were what middle manager´s position means, how dis
