The way education and learning are structured is constantly evolving. Today, education is taking on a more digital approach, with books, paper, and pen being phased out. This is largely due to technological advancements, which open up new ways of thinking about how education can be delivered. A new focus in education has been to involve students on an emotional level in order to increase their
RNA-seq has become a revolutionary tool for genome-wide gene expression analysis, opening new possibilities for research. This study focuses on using RNA-seq data for variant calling at Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in a non-model organism, the bank vole. Variant calling from RNA-seq can for example be used for Allele-Specific Expression (ASE) analysis which sheds light on the impact of genetic
Innovation is the means for successful implementation of new ideas in the company to produce materials, processes, outputs, or services which are new to the company. The vision of any innovation driven company is accomplished with a good inflow of innovative talents blessed with the capabilities of thinking out of box and generating new ideas with the entrepreneurial mindset. Thereby, managing inn
I takt med att städer växer och målen om ett mer hållbart transportsystem skärps, ökar behovet av att bygga ut attraktiv, säker och yteffektiv cykelinfrastruktur. I många städer, bland annat Malmö stad används gång-, cykel- och mopedstöd, GCM-stöd, som en relativt snabb och kostnadseffektiv metod för att skapa fysisk separation mellan cykeltrafik och motorfordonstrafik utan omfattande ombyggnad avAs cities continue to grow and the objectives for a more sustainable transport system become increasingly important, there is a growing need to develop attractive, safe and space-efficient cycling infrastructure. In the City of Malmö, GCM-stöd is used as a relatively quick and cost-effective method for creating physical separation between cycle traffic and motor vehicle traffic without requiring e
Background Climate change has become one of the leading drivers of global food insecurity, and its effects are felt most strongly in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa. As environmental degradation and climate-related stresses increasingly affect agricultural production, large buyers of food com- modities become exposed to growing environmental sourcing risks. The United Nations World Food Program
Den sociala marknadsekonomi som eftersträvas inom EU har sin grund i begrepp som konkurrenskraft, välfärd och innovation. Just innovation anses utgöra en viktig och dynamisk del av marknaden genom att främja fri konkurrens. Patentpooler har av många ansetts vara ett gott medel för att gynna innovation och dessa utgör därmed en viktig spelare på den fria marknaden. Patentpoolen innebär i grunden etThe market economy sought within the European Union is based on concepts such as competitiveness, welfare, and innovation. Innovation is, in particular, considered to be an important and dynamic part of the market by promoting competition. The patent pool is based on an arrangement between competitors. Anyone who has become acquainted with competition law is well aware of its critical attitude tow
Children are not only negatively affected by being exposed to violence themselves, but they are also affected by witnessing violence. For example, mental health issues and not getting the support that they need. In 2021, the law “barnfridsbrott” came into effect, making it illegal to allow a child to witness violence between people they have a close relationship with. This study is about the conce
This MSc Thesis’s main objective is to determine the impact of transformer inrush currents in the grid and develop a tool that helps E.ON Energidistribution AB evaluate transformer sizing. The motivation of E.ON is to have a more precise way to estimate the energization consequences of increasing the transformer size in the grid, since currently is being used a rule of thumb that relates the trans
Den 1 april 2019 kommer en ny djurskyddslag träda i kraft. En av de stora och viktiga ändringar för djurskyddet är att ett kunskapskrav ska införas i lagen. Ambitionen var att även ett utbildningskrav skulle införas i lagen men det visade sig vara oproportionerligt och alldeles för betungande för de enskilda. Ett problem som brukar förekomma vid ikraftträdande av en ny lag är att de nya bestämmeOn April 1, 2019, a new law will replace the current Swedish animal welfare law (1988: 534). One of the major and important changes for animal welfare is that the knowledge requirement is to now be introduced into the law. Worth to mention is that there also was an ambition to introduce the education requirement into the law. However, this proved to be disproportionate and too demanding. A probl
Interactive web-GIS tools play an important role in determining disaster risk assessment which ultimately result in reduction of unexpected damages, cost and saves millions of lives. Disaster management practitioners largely benefited information at their disposal about location where possible incidents are eminent, anticipate the impact and project possible outcomes to help mitigate and organize
Product Space methodology introduced in 2007 initiated a new perspective in diversification studies. It finds out stylized facts that generally developed countries mainly export core product (metal, machinery, chemicals), while developing countries mainly export periphery products (agriculture, primary goods). Besides, these two types of products have very low proximity. They do not share many com
The proportion of older adults in Sweden (aged 65 and older) is expected to be 25 % of the total population by 2060. Currently, the number of elders in Sweden who need help to prepare their meals are approximately 250,000. The creation of unique and customized food products and beverages targeting the health and nutritional requirements of the elderly population comes with challenges. New food-bas
This report presents how far NCC current VDC tools and methods in building construction can be implemented in road and infrastructure projects also what new tools, methods that can be created helped by pre-selected software’s. VDC is well developed within the construction of building and research and resources in the field have been spent under a longer period of time unlike in road and infrastruc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skivepitelcancer i huvud- och halsregionen (SCCHN) Kliniska aspekter Prognosen vid SCCHN är i stort sett oförändrat dålig sedan 30 år tillbaka; cirka hälften av patienterna dör av sin sjukdom. Trots stora tekniska framsteg kring behandlingsteknikerna (ofta en kombination av kirurgi, strål- och i viss mån cellgiftsbehandling) medför dAt present, clinical outcome or response to therapy can not be fully predicted in individual cases of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). The overall aim of the present studies was to investigate potential prognostic factors, more closely related to the malignant progression of a tumor than the established markers, such as the TNM-classification system. Tumor samples were investi
The European commission launch of the twin Sentinel-2 satellites provides new opportunities for land use and land cover (LULC) classification because of the readily availability of their data and their enhanced spatial, temporal and spectral resolutions. The rapid development of machine learning over the past decade led to data-driven models being at the forefront of high accuracy predictions of t
Network-based biocomputation (NBC) is an alternative, parallel computation approach that can potentially solve technologically important, combinatorial problems with much lower energy consumption than electronic processors. In NBC, a combinatorial problem is encoded into a physical, nanofabricated network. The problem is solved by biological agents (such as cytoskeletal filaments driven by molecul
Frostnedbrytning av betong kan få allvarliga konsekvenser för en konstruktions säkerhet, beständighet och funktionsduglighet eftersom betongens hållfasthet försämras. Frostskador uppstår vanligtvis i konstruktioner med hög fuktbelastning och som periodvis utsätts för frostangrepp. Olika typer av betongskador, vilka kan misstänkas vara frostrelaterade, har påträffats i svenska vattenkraftsanläggninFrost deterioration of concrete can result in severe consequences to the safety, durability and functionality of a structure since it impairs the strength of the concrete. Frost damage may occur to structures that are in contact with water and subjected to frost action. Different types of concrete damage, which are suspected to be frost related, have been observed in concrete structures in Swedish
HDL is believed to be protective against cardiovascular disease (CVD) via the reverse cholesterol transport and anti-inflammatory actions in the vessel. Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is an apolipoprotein mainly associated with HDL. Recently ApoM was proven tobe the main carrier of Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) in circulation. SIP is a signaling phospholipid involved in the immune system, exerting most o
BACKGROUND: Symptoms from throat (sensation of globus; frequent throat clearing; irritated throat) are common in patients referred to voice clinics and to ENT specialists. The relation to symptoms of voice discomfort is unclear and in some cases patients do not have voice problems at all. Instruments for patients' self-reporting of symptoms, and assessment of handicap, such as the Voice Handicap I
Individual aspects of social capital have been shown to have significant associations with health outcomes. However, research has seldom tested different elements of social capital simultaneously, whilst also adjusting for other well-known health determinants over time. This longitudinal individual-level study investigates how temporal changes in social capital, together with changes in material c
