Antidumping is a burning topic that has been lively debated lately. The usage of antidumping has enhanced during the past decade and affects the trade flow between countries. In this thesis antidumping procedures are investigated and effects on antidumping measures are analysed and discussed. All antidumping targeted footwear has been included in the investigation. The products originate from Chin

The impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and positive airway pressure (PAP) treatment on COVID-19 severity is unclear. In this population-based, nationwide study using multi-register data, we aimed to assess if OSA is a risk factor for COVID-19 severity and how adherence to PAP treatment and clinical characteristics affect the risk. Swedish residents with COVID-19 infection January 2020–May 202

This thesis explores the impact of medical migration on the healthcare crisis in East Africa. With a qualitative research design of ten semi-structured interviews it shall help to understand the relationship between medical migration and the healthcare crisis in East Africa. Accordingly, by interviewing doctors with ties to East Africa and relevant experiences for the topic of study, the following

The number of international students in higher education is steadily increasing, so their experiences in the new environment is a topic gaining more and more interest from academics (Wu & Hammond, 2011). The current research suggests a model for determining international students’ happiness. The determining factors in the hypothesized model are university satisfaction, residential satisfaction

‘Rewilding’, or the return of degraded lands to a state of ‘wilderness’, is a bold attempt to resolve the world’s ecological challenges. It however does not address the division between nature and society, which lies at the core of the issues. According to Marshall Sahlins (1972) and Nurit Bird-David (1992), indigenous people relate to ‘nature’ in a markedly different way than Westerners. Capturin

Gold mining causes various negative social and environmental impacts in countries of extraction like Colombia. Voluntary and legal efforts to tackle these challenges have recently increased in Europe. To understand the complex supply chain and the impact of the newly evolved governance structures better, more research is needed. Based on a literature review and interviews, I identify important Eur

Monetary policy has been suggested to show a fading impact on domestic inflation. Based on this, the study tests whether this has occurred with Swedish monetary policy over the period January 2000 – January 2020. This is done by studying the impact of monetary policy on consumer price inflation and real estate prices in Sweden, comparing the results to the United States. The used method consists o

Salt-induced elevation of the endogenous digitalis like sodium pump ligand marinobufagenin (MBG) in the Dahl salt-sensitive rats resulted in elevated blood pressure (BP). Here, we tested, in humans, whether MBG levels are related to ambulatory 24-h BP (ABP), controlled long-term increase of salt-intake induces changes in MBG and any salt-induced change in MBG is related to salt sensitivity.

Adult neurogenesis is impaired in the hippocampus of transgenic R6 mouse models of Huntington's disease (HD). The phenotypes of R6 transgenic mice mimic several symptoms and signs of the disease (Li et al., 2005). They exhibit neurological and endocrine changes resembling some symptoms seen in humans. The reduction in neurogenesis is only apparent in the dentate gyrus as the number of newborn neur

The essential protein Cdc13p binds the single-stranded telomeric 3' overhangs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and takes part in the regulation of telomere length. The DNA-binding domain (DBD) of Cdc13p is structurally established by an oligonucleotide/oligosaccharide-binding (OB)-fold domain. The sequence homolog in Saccharomyces castellii (scasCDC13) was characterized previously, and the full-length

Magnesium chelatase inserts Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX and is the first unique enzyme of the chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway. It is a heterotrimeric enzyme, composed of I- (40 kDa), D- (70 kDa) and H- (140 kDa) subunits. The I- and D-proteins belong to the family of AAA(+) (ATPases associated with various cellular activities), but only I-subunit hydrolyses ATP to ADP. The D-subunits provide a pl

The introduction of the euro as a currency in physical existence in January 2002 was a major step in the European integration process. The purpose of this paper is to explore how a representative selection of 12 000 Europeans across all countries in the euro area view the effects of the euro five years after its introduction. The empirical analysis uses multinomial logistic regressions to explore

SpoVD and PBP4b are structurally very similar high-molecular-weight, class B penicillin-binding proteins produced early during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. SpoVD is known to be essential for endospore cortex synthesis and thereby the production of heat-resistant spores. The role of PBP4b is still enigmatic. Both proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm of the mother cell. PBP4b remains in th
