A novel electrode array was developed based on the XNA on Gold(TM) microarray platform. The platform combines self-assembling monolayers, thick film patterning and streptavidin based immobilization to provide a robust, versatile platform capable of analysing virtually any biomolecule including nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Electrochemical analysis of the self-assembling monola
Heat shock proteins counteract heat and oxidative stress. In chloroplasts, a small heat shock protein (Hsp21) contains a set of conserved methionines, which date back to early in the emergence of terrestrial plants. Methionines M49, M52, M55, M59, M62, M67 are located on one side of an amphipathic helix, which may fold back over two other conserved methionines (M97 and M101), to form a binding gro
Whey protein adsorption on stainless steel surfaces was investigated by in situ ellipsometry under well-defined flow conditions and protein solution residence times. The size distribution in solution of the protein aggregates formed under the same conditions was determined by dynamic light scattering. The adsorption was performed at 72 degrees C and 85 degrees C which is below and above the unfold
Background Evidence suggests that mental health literacy among the public is low, and stigmatizing attitudes are widespread. So far the effects of anti-stigma campaigns are small, and studies demonstrate that negative attitudes have been quite stable through recent decades. Aims To investigate the relationships between mental health literacy, experience of mental illness and stigmatizing attitudes
OBJECTIVES: Right ventricular heart rupture is a devastating complication associated with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in cardiac surgery. The use of a rigid barrier has been suggested to offer protection against this lethal complication, by preventing the heart from being drawn up and damaged by the sharp edges of the sternum. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether a ri
Context and Objective:Total muscle triglyceride (MT) content has been associated with insulin resistance. We investigated the predictors and impact of MT on relevant metabolic parameters including peripheral and hepatic insulin resistance in elderly twins.Design and Participants:Seventy-four elderly same-sex twins underwent hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamps preceded by an iv glucose tolerance tes
Fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF-8) is expressed in a large proportion of breast cancers, whereas its level in normal mammary gland epithelium is low. Previous studies have shown that FGF-8b stimulates breast cancer cell growth in vitro and in vivo. To explore the mechanisms by which FGF-8b promotes growth, we studied its effects on cell cycle regulatory proteins and signalling pathways in mouse S1
Det individuella valet av diversitetsindex och dess inverkan på det konkreta bevarandet av biologisk mångfald Värden för den biologiska mångfalden i ett område kan mätas på många olika sätt. För att uppnå detta brukar forskare därför ofta använda sig av en eller flera typer av matematiska modeller i form av så kallade diversitetsindex. Då konceptet biologisk mångfald spelar en stor roll i det koAs there currently are not so many known studies which directly evaluate how diversity indices have been used in different contexts, following literature study was made with the purpose of investigating how three of the most commonly used diversity indices (including Shannon-Wiener’s and Simpson’s Indices as well as a certain index measuring taxonomic diversity) are representing different categori
The aim of this study was to examine how professionals working in residential care units for unaccompanied children, construct and understand integration and culture. The study was built on empirics which was the result of five semi-structured interviews held with professionals working in this field. The interviews included both professionals working in the public sector and professionals working
Mental crisis is according to Johan Cullberg (2006) a reaction pattern in which a person suffering from acute internal or external stresses which occur when one's life experiences and behaviour are not sufficient to cope with the new life situation you are in. We think that we as future social workers often can come across mental crisis in our work. As we think we don´t learn enough about ment
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Geografiska Informationssystem (GIS) är ett system för att hantera geografisk data som jämfört med traditionella forskningsmetoder gör det lättare att sammanställa och analysera dessa data. GIS började utvecklas i Nordamerika på 1960-talet och har under de senaste två decennierna haft stor påverkan på hur hanteringen av rumslig data går till. Användningsområdena Geographical Information System (GIS) is a technique that has revolutionized the way we process spatial data. The possibilities for GIS are endless and it is today used in a wide range of subject areas such as social planning, environmental monitoring and marketing. However, the process of implementing GIS is a long and usually runs in to a lot of problems. The aim of this study is to compare and

It is interesting to see how
År 2005 vidgades kapitalskyddsreglerna i Aktiebolagslagen med syftet att omfatta fler situationer. Bland annat fick de förtäckta värdeöverföringarna sin egna legaldefinition, en definition som i efterhand har insetts vara onödigt svårtolkad. Denna uppsats handlar om de förtäckta värdeöverföringarna och dess begreppsdefinitions tolkningssvårigheter. Den förtäckta värdeöverföringen definieras efter In 2005, the swedish capital protection rules were expanded in the purpose to cover more situations. Among other things, the disguised value transfers got their own legal definition, a definition that has subsequently been realized to be relatively difficult to interpret. This essay deals with the disguised value transfers and the interpretation difficulties of its conceptual definition. The disgu
About 90% of all startups fail to become successful, and the most significant reason is due to premature scaling. Limited research has priorly been conducted in the borderland between startups and supply chain. Explicitly on how a startup should go about defining its supply chain objective and how to measure its performance. Nevertheless, the high-tech startup industry sees potential in gaining in
The research field of middle management within elderly care in Sweden is fairly unexplored. Even more so, there is little to no research on communication or communicative leadership and its influence on middle management within elderly care. Therefore, this study aims to investigate managers perspective on communication by interviewing middle managers working with elderly care. Furthermore, the st
Augmented reality is a field which is getting increased funding every year, as more businesses are realizing the potential of rendering virtual objects in the real world. As the equipment gets more commercialized, the costs will get lowered while performance also goes up. As of now, augmented reality mostly makes use of plane detection and marker detection to find and locate objects. We want to in
