I den moderna staden suddas gränsen mellan byggnad och gata ut. De samtida shoppingpalatsen, köpcentrumet, är en byggnadstyp som mer än andra löser upp denna gräns när de skapar sina egna gatumiljöer. Vad är dessa nya gator för något? Hur skiljer de sig från andra gator i staden? När gatan fortsätter in i byggnaden, följer rätten till staden med? Det här projektet undersöker köpcentrumet som en In the modern city the border between building and street is increasingly blurred. The urban shopping mall is a building typology that like few other dissolves this border by creating their own interior streetscapes. But what are these streets, what define them and how do they differ from other parts of the urban environment? When the city continues into the building, does the right to the city fo

The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is involved in many cellular pathways. The HER2 locus is amplified in 12-21% of all breast cancers and is associated with poor prognosis. The introns of HER2 contain two non-coding RNAs: a microRNA (miRNA) named mir-4728 and a box C/D snoRNA-like molecule thus far named snoID_0714. In this study, a list of targe

The present study aimed at investigating the recent phenomenon termed Fear of missing out (FOMO), which builds on a feeling of constantly having to be connected to what other people are doing on social media in order to not miss out. The purpose of this study was to see if a link between FOMO and social media addiction is present and if Swedish university students’ well-being and academic performa

The city of Chennai evolved around the river, Cooum. The river supports irrigation to agricultural fields in the north and supplies water to the city of Chennai. It also acts as a major flood carrier for the city. Before the 1960s, the river was clean and used for activities such as bathing, boating and fishing. During the colonial rule, the city was initially planned to sustain a much lesser popu

When you first step ashore the island of Ven, in Öresund right between Sweden and Denmark, you have two options. Either you go straight ahead, towards the bike rental, or you turn to your right and start walking along the shore. If you do so, you will soon start to find colourful pebbles on the ground along the waterline. Some are round and soft to the touch, others are rough and edgy, and they ar

Den 30 juni 2022 trädde nya lagförändringar i kraft efter att förslaget om reformerad arbetsrätt antagits. En av lagförändringarna var 12 a § i lag (2012:854) om uthyrning av arbetstagare. Denna innebär att kundföretag ska erbjuda tillsvidareanställning för inhyrda arbetstagare som utfört arbete åt företaget på samma driftsenhet i sammanlagt mer än 24 månader under en 36-månaderperiod. Lagförändri

Many theorists have argued that vision and geometry have been given too much precedence within architecture and architectural representation. This thesis uses feminist theory that criticizes the way that space and the future traditionally have been represented. It discusses how the tools that architects use to describe space and future, can affect the how they think. The starting point for the dis

I takt med att antalet geoparker och tillgängliga geologiska besöksmål ökar föds ett behov av att förstå hur dessa kan användas för att öka den geologiska kunskapen i samhället. Ett av syftena med geoparker är att främja utbildning om hållbar utveckling och bevarande av både geologiska arv och Jorden. De senaste åren har tre svenska geoparker certifierats nationellt eller internationellt och ytterAs the number of geoparks and available geological tourist destinations increases there is also a need to understand how these can be used to increase geological knowledge in society. One of the purposes of geoparks is to promote education about sustainable use and protection of both geological heritages and Earth itself. In recent years in Sweden, three geoparks have been nationally or internatio

Sammanfattningsvis kan om bestämmelserna i tysk och svensk rätt sägas att de är tämligen lika varandra i rekvisiten och deras utläggning, dock med skillnaden att de tyska rekvisiten tycks tolkas striktare. Därmed slutar de huvudsakliga likheterna, och de många skillnaderna tar vid. Inget av den tyska rättens två brott (Verleumdung och üble Nachrede) motsvarar direkt det svenska förtalsbrottet, och

Examensarbetet fokuserar på utvärdering samt testning av FLEXNET, ett Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) system utvecklat av Bertin Exensor. FLEXNET:s grund-läggande syfte är att övervaka stora områden utan att kräva omfattande resurser i form av personal som aktivt övervakar och underhåller systemet på plats. Vid utvecklandet av större system kan det ofta vara besvärligt att utföra fullskaliga test

The European union has been aggressively pushing forward with policies favoring renewable sources of energy. As a result, the share of intermittent renewables in the European power grid is rising and is expected to grow even more in the coming decade. The Swedish energy agency also forecast huge growth in wind power. This creates a parallel growing demand for electricity storage solutions for both

I merparten av alla djur och andra organismer med eukaryota celler finns de en grupp proteiner som benämns galektiner. Galektiner binder till kolhydrater som bland annat finns på cellernas yta på glykoproteiner, som har en kolhydrats ände. Galektiner använder glykoproteiner för att cellerna ska kommunicera med varandra om olika händelser inträffar exempelvis om en cell blir skadad. Galektiner haGalectin-1 is a member of the carbohydrate-binding protein family galectins. Galectins are involved in the immune system. However, in cancer growth, galectin-1 is overproduced to not make the immune system respond. Therefore, inhibitors of the protein were synthesized to make the immune system approach the cancer and respond. From previous studies and simulations on the computer program Maestro di

The trend towards greater globalisation brings the matter of cultural identity to the foreground. Transnational corporations or business networks are culturally diverse places where cultural othering – simply put, the assumption that someone is fundamentally different from you based on the cultural identity projected on- or associated with them – can significantly impact operations across the hier

Recent urban development has serious consequences such as limited space and expanded urban sprawl which lead to complex problems on the edge. Also, there is large number of urbanization where people from rural areas try to find better opportunities by moving to big cities. Furthermore, fringe area seems like an unplanned area which lose its identity and do not optimize its potentials. Those situat

With the ever increased focus on sustainability and not least the focus on sustainability in the tourism industry this thesis has critically investigated the suitability of the Tourism Carrying Capacity method in a Danish outdoor-tourism context. The research found that there are considerable limitations and challenges to implementing a TCC approach in Denmark, and even if implemented, legally, cu

Biopharmaceuticals are a fast-growing niche in the pharmaceutical industry compared to small molecules. Even though a lot of progress has been made in recent years, the process to take a drug candidate to clinical trials can be lengthy and the selection process of high producing stable clones can be an arduous process. In this master thesis the design of new expression vectors for the production

Agricultural intensification is seen as a major threat to global biodiversity. Semi-natural grasslands play an important role in maintaining biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Biodiversity and community structure in semi-natural grasslands depends not only on local management but also on the surrounding land-use. Further knowledge on landscape-scale effects would help improving the managemen

The choice of which potential evapotranspiration (PET) model to use when estimating streamflow using a rainfall-runoff model have been the topic of many studies. The aim with this thesis was to assess the robustness of six different PET models using HBV-light as rainfall-runoff model over three catchments in Sweden. The robustness was evaluated by using a differential split sample test (DSST) base

Risk-taking behaviours are essential for animals’ survival and are often referred to as variation along the bold-shy continuum in animal personality research. Predation risk is a fundamental driver shaping individuals’ behaviours, and sex often plays an underlaying role in behavioural variation between individuals as well.
