Streptomyces is the largest genus in the phylum Actinobacteria, known for their complex life cycle and secondary metabolite production. The model bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor grows _lamentously by tip extension and hyphal branching. The hyphal tip is highly organised, with various structural proteins forming a large assembly termed the polarisome. An essential protein, DivIVA, localises to th

Till skillnad från effekter förknippat med övergödning och marin plast, är få medvetna om den negativa miljöpåverkan sandmuddring kan ha på de marina ekosystemen. Sandmuddring ger stora förluster i livsmiljö, förändringar i salthalt och ökad grumlighet vilket utgör ett potentiellt hot mot ett stort antal marina och bräckvatten arter. Ännu värre är det faktum att få människor vet att sandutvinning Unlike effects associated with eutrophication and marine plastics, few are aware of the negative environmental impacts sand dredging can have on marine ecosystems. Major habitat losses, changes in salinity and increased turbidity impose a potential threat to a large variety of marine and brackish species. Even worse is the fact that few people know that sand extraction currently is taking place wi

Vad finns det som går att ändra på för att minska mängden oanvänt material samt att minska hanteringen. Det material som idag blir över på projekten hur det hanteras och vad där finns för strategier. Finns där en möjlighet att utveckla hur hanterin

This study deals with the health and wellbeing of humans who work in offices as well as the energy use for the lighting. The focus is on how integrative lighting and daylight harvesting can be combined in an attempt to reduce the energy consumption while still eliciting a circadian response for the workers. The aim of this study is to investigate a combination of integrative lighting and daylight

Till följd av en ökad aktivitet inom internationella nätverk för städer har miljö- och klimatfrågor alltmer kommit att betraktas som karaktäristisk lokala i sin skala. Städer har i sin tur alltmer kommit att betraktas som betydande platser där innovativa lösningar på dessa frågor uppstår. Matfrågor, som tidigare har hanterats som landsbygds- och nationella frågor, har också funnit sin väg till den

Abstract Zoos have been gaining increased popularity from tourists in recent years, as many people feel distant from wildlife and thus are eager to experience closeness with animals. The aim of this paper is to analyse tourist experiences of modern zoo tourism and the research question asked is “What types of tourist experiences are tourists gaining when visiting a modern zoo?” To achieve this ai

Mänsklig aktivitet leder till ett konstant och oundvikligt flöde av olika typer av avfall som måste hanteras och behandlas. Hushållsavfall, sådant avfall som uppstår i våra hem samt i bland annat skolor, vårdinrättningar och arbetsplatser, är den mest komplexa avfallsströmmen att hantera. Detta eftersom den vanligtvis består av mängder av olika material såsom papper, plast, glas och matrester. VärManagement of municipal solid waste (MSW) is an urgent issue throughout the world. Urbanization, population increase, and economy growth are all factors which contribute to an increase of MSW generation. The most common treatment method of MSW is through landfilling, which lead to a constant dissipation of resources in terms of material and energy, as well as environmental pollution and emission o

In this thesis, I investigate the concept of love in relation to feminist epistemology. Through a theoretical analysis and assessment, the aim has been to first of all examine ontological tensions between feminist works theorizing on love; secondly, to analyse which role the concept of love has in the works; and thirdly to contextualize the different ontological assumptions made within the basic t

A critical issue for brand fan page marketing is to drive consumer engagement and to or- chestrate enjoyable engagement experiences that consumers desire. Despite the growing amount of research on how various characteristics of brand posts would influence different levels of consumer engagement on the brand fan page in the Western context, the study of consumers’ intrinsic motivations for engageme

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Examensarbetet syftar till att undersöka hur klimatiska förändringar och mänskligt utnyttjande av marken har påverkat fluviatila våtmarker (våtmarker i anslutning till rinnande vatten) i Bräkneåns dalgång i mellerst Blekinge. Få liknande undersökningar av fluviatila våtmarker har tidigare gjorts i Skandinavien, varför det är av intresse att ytterligare undersöka

Pedestrians and cyclists are so-called unprotected road users which are sensitive in the context of road safety. When it comes to road safety focus are often placed on pedestrians-cars and cyclist-cars, in this report focus are placed on the road safety between pedestrians and cyclists. Pedestrians and cyclists are often referred to a combined space, with or without a separation. The purpose of th

Under den tidigare delen av mesozoikum inträffade två massutdöende som i stor utsträckning kom att påverka jordens ekosystem. Det första inträffade i slutet av trias och påverkade både marina organismer och terrestrisk biota. Det andra mesozoiska utdöendet skedde under tidig toarcian i samband med ett anoxiskt event. Trots att den Australienska sen triassiska floran behandlats i ett flertal studieDuring the early Mesozoic two mass-extinction events profoundly reshaped the world’s biota. The first of these took place at the end of the Triassic and affected both marine organisms and terrestrial floras. The second occurred as an oceanic anoxic event during the early Toarcian. Although the Late Triassic floral assemblages of Australia have been the focus of many studies, there have been few in

The aim of this study is to get closer to the complex cultural expression of performance art through its relation to the body and the phenomenon of presence. The investigation is based upon two analysis of performance artworks such as the virtual performance installation Telematic Dreaming (1992) by Paul Sermon, and the live performance The Artist is Present (2010) by Marina Abramovic, which is a

Older and normally more low-scale buildings are from a historical and cultural perspective in need to be preserved. But these older buildings are often also perceived as contributing to more beauty-oriented values to an urban environment, so called charm. For these reasons, new building development projects should be designed in such a way that these qualities are not destroyed. This study has thr

As a part of the GrönNano project at Luleå University of Technology, a sustainable drainage system, composed of infiltration surfaces and a wale,has been subject to hydrological measurements and modeling. The aim of this study was to identify the conditions under which it is possible to model the hydrological processes of that system adequately, using the two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling soft

The demand for renewable energy is constantly increasing and in order to compete with other sources of energy the wind energy output has to increase. The power output from wind turbines are highly dependent on the swept radius of rotor blades. Increasing the length of the rotor blades will increase the weight of the blades, resulting in higher demands of the structural performance, but also introd

Tre av WSP Sverige AB genomförda geotekniska undersökningar har studerats. Samtliga är lokaliserade i Skåne. Projekten har valts i syfte att skapa en övergripande förståelse för hur geologin i Skåne påver-kar geoteknikers metodval och arbetssätt i förhållande till aktuell konstruktion. Geologin i Skåne skiljer sig från övriga Sveriges. Bergrunden är i nordvästra Skåne kristallin och i sydvästra SkThree geotechnical investigations made by WSP Sverige AB have been studied. All are located in Scania, Sweden. The projects have been studied in order to create an overall understanding of how the geology of Scania affects the geotechnical engineer choice of methods and approach in relation to the current construction. The geology of Scania is distinct from the rest of Sweden. The bedrock in the n

We have extended our knowledge about the complexity that exists in the marketing of countries. With sweden.se as a case, we have investigated how nation branding is actually managed from a sender perspective. We have analysed which desirable values the Swedish public organization NSU (National Board for Promotion of Sweden Abroad) communicate through the website sweden.se. The results we have ar
