The growth of suitable protein crystals is an essential step in the structure determination of a protein by X-ray crystallography. At present, crystals are mostly grown using trial-and-error procedures, and protocols that rapidly screen for the crystal nucleation step are rare. Presented here is an approach to minimize the consumption of precious protein material while searching for the nucleation

A lot of time and care have been put into exploring and explaining the power relations between nurses and nursing assistants, the emotional investment appropriate in care work, different views on leisure time for staff in this context (Warming, 2019; Habel, 2021; Jervis, 2002; Crocker, 2019). Less work has been done in exploring the complex relationships care workers have with their patients and h

While the popularity of cryptocurrencies has seen a dramatic uptick as of late, the general phenomenon still carries with it a high level of novelty. The inception of cryptocurrencies began with Bitcoin in late 2008, making its first appearance on a cryptographic community forum, posted by a yet to be identified entity carrying the pseudonym Satoshi Nakomoto. The phenomenon has since grown tremend

Global climate projections forecast more frequent, intense and longer heat waves in the decades ahead. Heat waves are considered the most dangerous extreme weather event for human health, with impacts most pronounced in cities because of the urban heat island effect. Heat-related mortality rates are highest in certain at-risk populations, like the elderly. Toronto, Canada’s largest city, faces two

This master thesis work was performed in collaboration with BioGaia AB, a Swedish biotech- company producing probiotic supplements containing the bacteria Limosilactobacillus reuteri. The products provided by BioGaia contain live microorganisms. Therefore, a method suitable for the correct enumeration of living cells is crucial in probiotic samples and today the so-called plate count method is use

What level of influence should market actors be allowed to exert over consumers’ transactional decisions? While persuasive marketing is inherent to free markets and therefore uncontroversial, relatively recent research in the field of behavioural economics about systemic errors in human decision-making has shown just how susceptible consumers are to the will of market actors. Within a rapidly evol

One of the leading causes of biodiversity loss and species communities’ alteration is land-use change for agricultural purposes. Land-use may affect pollinators directly or indirectly via the plant communities. A better understanding of plant community and pollinators interactions can be important to comprehend the potential for management to support pollinating insects in different habitats. This

I demokratiska länder anses yttrandefriheten vara ett av de viktigaste verkty-gen för att garantera och säkerställa ett demokratiskt styrelseskick, och i Sve-rige finns en tradition av en långtgående yttrandefrihet. Yttrandefriheten ham-nar dock ofta i konflikt med andra skyddsvärda intressen. Med de senaste årets offentliga koranbränningar har en sådan konflikt fått mycket uppmärk-samhet, nämligeIn democratic countries, freedom of speech is considered an indispensable tool to guarantee and ensure democratic governance, and in Sweden, that free-dom is particularly far reaching. However, this freedom often conflicts with other interests worthy of protection. With the past years’ burning of Qurans, such a conflict has come to the surface, in which freedom of speech stands against the crime o

I uppsatsen utreds innebörden och tillämpningsområdena av begreppen vårdskada enligt patientsäkerhetslagen (2010:659) (PSL) och patientskada enligt patientskadelagen (1996:799) (PSkL). Syftet är att belysa problematiken och eventuella konsekvenser av skillnaderna mellan begreppen samt att utreda hur systemen bättre kan samordnas. En vårdskada är en fysisk eller psykisk skada som hade kunnat undvikThe purpose of the essay is to investigate the meaning of and differences between a healthcare injury according to the Patient Security Act (2010:659) (PSL) and a patient injury according to the Patient Injury Act (1996:799) (PSkL). The essay pertains to illustrate the problems and possible consequences of the differences as well as to review how the systems could be better coordinated. A healthca

An important function for the human body is the ability to maintain balance. This has been compared to a sixth sense whose function we would have difficulties to be without. The system of balance is a complex system which uses several different sensors to get a satisfactory image of the position and motion of the body. One of the sensors is vision. Our assignment has been to make an equipment for

Background: An increased concern of environmental issues have made companies, including Haldex, look for new engineering and design practices to keep up with legislations and stakeholder pressure, often by analyzing products’ total environmental impact over their life cycles, in so called life cycle assessment studies. The Haldex Project Management Model is a company specific project model where H

In recent years extreme value distributions have attracted a fair amount of attention in literature for risk assessment based on climate data. This thesis focuses on modeling a series of rainfall data over 58 years in the period 1954-2012 recorded at five different stations in Bangladesh. Inference on the extreme rainfall is essential for making the necessary steps to reduce damage caused by natur

Energipolitik har varit och är fortfarande av stor betydelse både för Medlemsstaterna och för EU. Behovet av att trygga en säker och pålitlig energiförsörjning är en central aspekt av en gemensam energipolitik. De senaste decennierna har det på EU-nivå pågått ett arbete att utveckla en enhetlig och samordnad strategi ämnad att trygga en säker elförsörjning inom EU. Några viktiga aspekter i EU:s stEnergy policy is a policy area of great significance for the Member States and for the EU. An integral part of every energy policy is the need to ensure a secure supply of electricity. At EU-level, the challenges to security of supply are to be managed via a coherent and coordinated approach aimed at taking into account the interest of the Union. Demand management, the further integration of the i
