During the last few years, crowding effects on the physics of proteins has become an increasingly popular topic of research. This is is because most biological processes involving proteins naturally take place in a crowded environment, e.g. in the cellular environment where macromolecules may occupy 30% of the volume. One such biological process would be the formation of amyloid aggregates, which

Rum för kontemplation. En plats för eftertanke och stillhet. Vi lever i en värld som går snabbare och snabbare. En urban värld där vi är ständigt uppkopplade, ett prestationssamhälle där ett behov för kontemplation glöms bort. Vilka rum vänder vi oss till för stillhet i vardagen och hur ser egentligen ett rum för kontemplation ut? Arbetet tar avstamp i frågeställningen: “Vilka egenskaper känneteckSpace for contemplation. A place for afterthought and reflection. We live in a world that spins faster and faster. A universe full of impressions, information and experiences are effecting our stress level in a bad way, and our need for quietness and contemplation is forgotten. Where do we go for a minute in silence and serenity? The work has its starting point in the questions: “Which qualities b

Syftet med denna uppsats är att diskutera och analysera huruvida fenomenet ”spanska fönstret” utgör en skattelucka som möjliggör undkommande av kapitalvinstbeskattning vid en flytt från Sverige till Spanien. Detta har utretts mot bakgrund av ett skattenomadstillstånd och skatteavtalet mellan Sverige och Spanien. Rekvisit som ”skattskyldig” och ”hemvist” i artikel 4 i skatteavtalet mellan Sverige oThe purpose of this essay is to discuss and analyze whether the phenomenon called "the Spanish window" consitutes a loop hole that creates a possibility to avoid having to pay tax on capital gains upon emigrating from Sweden to Spain. Legally, the investigation has been conducted in the light of the tax treaty between Sweden and Spain. A tax nomad perspective has also been applied in add

This master’s thesis is about digital history and digital documents, studying attitudes and practises concerning this in some non-profit organizations. The study centres on how creators of archives handle their digital presence and on what they think about their digital material as part of their future history. The study has two main theoretical starting points: one in document theory, centring

Infant mortality is a powerful indicator to measure the health and social status of a country. The purpose of this study is to identify the important factors that in uence the infant mortality of Bangladesh. Moreover, this study suggests the government and the policy makers to improve the health and social sectors for reducing the country's infant mortality signicantly. To investigate the impo

In Sweden, municipalities are key players in the environmental work to achieve the ambitious energy and climate goals that are set. For Sweden to be able to meet the national environmental targets that are set to 2020 requires that all the actors in Sweden cooperate. For citizens, these goals mean that lifestyle changes are required, which includes consumption, transport and the use of resources.

Popular science summary As the climate warms and species move northwards, some species encounter populations of a similar species. In this case, the banded demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx splendens is moving north, further into Fennoscandia than it has been known to go before, and is meeting populations of the beautiful demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx virgo. Males of both species set up and defen

Blockkedje-teknologin har skapat ett nytt verktyg för avtalsingående, så kallade smarta kontrakt. Smarta kontrakt möjliggör decentraliserade, digitala och autonoma avtal som exekveras av sig själva när ett antal parametrar är uppfyllda. En grundläggande fråga är om avtal enligt svensk rätt kan ingås på detta sätt. Av denna anledning ställer uppsatsen frågan om huruvida smarta kontrakt uppfyller föBlockchain technology has created a new tool for contract formation: smart contracts. Smart contracts enable decentralized, digital, and autonomous contracts that self-execute when a set of parameters is met. Can contracts under Swedish law be entered into through smart contracts? This is an important question to answer. For that reason, the paper poses the question of whether smart contracts meet

Domedagsklockan klämtar alltjämt ljudligt för planeten. Vi står inför flera globala, nationella och lokala miljöutmaningar som kan komma att påverka framtida generationer på ödesdigra sätt. Hur individer och organisationer arbetar med dessa frågor kan vara avgörande för samhällets framtida fortlevnad. Ekonomiskt stöd till en mångfald av externa projekt kan vara ett sätt att låta gräsrötter växa tiSociety is facing numerous environmental challenges today and tomorrow. Several global, national, and regional frameworks and instruments are in place to battle the storm. The Regional Council in Scania works with environmental issues through different programs and methods. Miljövårdsfonden is one of these methods, where financial support is allocated to various external projects to further a posi

Beginning in the late 20th century, public libraries in Sweden have been offering its patrons the opportunity to check out films just as they would books. Taking place over the last decade, however, the methods by which we predominantly consume films have gone through major changes – mainly caused by our increased digital presence and, more importantly, the extensive development of popular streami

Introduction: This master’s thesis focuses on exploring improved alternative material solutions for antenna radomes used to protect Beyond Gravity Sweden’s satellite antennas in low Earth orbits. Background: As the environment in low Earth orbit is harsh, surface materials on satellites experience high levels of atomic oxygen, ultra violet radiation, thermal-fluctuation, charged particles and mic

I denna uppsats undersöker jag mötet mellan AI och utomobligatorisk ska-deståndsrätt ur ett EU-perspektiv. Jag presenterar två föreslagna direktiv och diskuterar hur dessa kompletterar varandra för att skapa en lagstiftning som är lika effektiv i tekniskt komplicerade fall där rekvisiten är svårare att uppfylla. Jag undersöker också konceptet regulatorisk sandlåda, dess förde-lar ur ett utvecklarpIn this paper, I investigate how the EU plans to address AI in the area of non-contractual liability. I present two proposed directives and discuss how these supplement each other to create a liability regime that remains potent as the cases to which it is applied grow increasingly complicated and condi-tions harder to prove. Secondly, I address the concept of regulatory sand-boxes, its potential

This thesis investigates what drives people to use credit-style Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, focusing on Klarna users in Sweden. Drawing on behavioral economics, it tests whether having a present-biased time preference (a strong preference for immediate rewards) can predict a person’s use of Klarna’s “Pay Later” and “Installments” features. To explore this, a cross-sectional survey (N =100)

Today, buildings account for approximately 30% of worldwide energy use, with HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) systems representing nearly 40% of that total. Improving the energy efficiency of HVAC systems is therefore essential for reducing operational costs and mitigating environmental impact. Because HVAC systems operate continuously and under strict operational constraints, acc

In his recent work, Eco abandons his conventionalist theory of pictures, which was heavily censored by, among others, the present author. In so doing, however, Eco now goes to the other extreme, claiming that television images are like mirrors, which are no signs. It is my contention that Eco fails to come up with a more acceptable theory of iconicity. Since Eco is one of the few semioticians conc

Sverige är ett utpräglat småföretagarland och mätt i antal bedrivs en klart övervägande del av företagen som enskild näringsverksamhet. Till skillnad från aktiebolag och andra juridiska personer, som hänför alla inkomster till inkomstslaget näringsverksamhet, ska inkomster eller utgifter för fysiska personer hänföras till endera av inkomstslagen näringsverksamhet, tjänst eller kapital. AvhandlingeSweden is a typical small-business country and, based on the numbers, a clear majority of the companies operate as sole traders. Unlike limited companies and other legal entities, which classify all income as business income, the income or expenditures of private persons are classified as either business, service or capital income. The main objective of this thesis is to systematically examine the

Gadodiamide injection, a new nonionic, MRI contrast medium, was compared with the ionic agent gadolinium (Gd)-DTPA at 0.1 mmol/kg body weight in a double-blind, randomised trial in 60 patients, 30 receiving each substance, with known or suspected lesions of the central nervous system. The patients were closely questioned about adverse events. In the Gadodiamide injection group, four patients repor

After their local extinction in 1954, White Storks (Ciconia ciconia) were reintroduced to Sweden in 1989. The founder Population for the reintroduced birds originated in North Africa, rather than from the closest breeding population in northeastern Europe (defined here as native). A number of wild storks have immigrated spontaneously, and a few others of native origin have been acquired for captiv

Purpose: Whey protein (WP) consumption prior to a meal curbs appetite and reduces postprandial glucose (PPG) through stimulating endogenous GLP-1 secretion and insulin. Methods: We assessed the metabolic effects of a concentrated WP, using a new micelle-technology (WPM), in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and overweight or obesity (NCT04639726). In a randomized-crossover design, participants per

OBJECTIVE: To examine the clinical phenotype, gray matter atrophy patterns, and small vessel disease in patients who developed prodromal or probable Alzheimer disease dementia, despite carrying the protective APOEε2 allele. METHODS: We included 36 β-amyloid-positive (by CSF or PET) APOEε2 carriers (all ε2/ε3) with mild cognitive impairment or dementia due to Alzheimer disease who were matched for
