The late eighteenth and the early nineteenth century was a turbulent time for the monarchies of Europe, the Swedish included. Since Gustav III’s coup in 1772, the king strove to enhance the royal prerogative. Ceremonies were crucial in the monarchy’s language of power and establishment of legitimacy but oppositional forces within the nobility nevertheless provoked the regicide of Gustav III in 179
This essay is primarily focused on the ambiguity surrounding Morpheus’ death in Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman. There is a divide in the character that is not reconciled within the comic: whether or not Morpheus is in control of the events that shape his death. Shakespeare scholars who have examined the series will have Morpheus in complete control of the narrative because of the similarities he shares
Blood lipid levels are linked to the development of many metabolic and cardiovascular disease phenotypes, such as coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus. Acquiring an understanding of the genetic variation that regulates lipid levels is important to elucidate the underlying biological pathways. In the present study, we performed a functional characterization for 103 independent SNPs that re
The physicochemical properties of oat β-glucan have been shown to govern its health benefits by a plethora of studies. However, the effect of the passage through the gastrointestinal tract on the conformational and structural characteristics is not fully explained. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the effect of in vitro gastrointestinal conditions on the structure and conformation of
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted in 2015, aim to engage the planet into general efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change worldwide. It consists in an original attempt to engage all groups and individuals by setting targets to be met over the incoming 15 years. One of the biggest innovations of the SDGs has been the consideration of the p
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
Lupin seeds contain like many other grains and legumes the mineral inhibitor phytate. The presence of this anti-nutrient decreases the bioavailability of minerals such as zinc and iron. Especially people that live in areas where grains and legumes are the staple food source, as well as vegan and vegetarian groups, may be more vulnerable to mineral deficiencies. The presence of phenolic compounds i
Nowadays, people spend 90% of their time indoors, thus creating a healthy indoor environment for occupants is of great importance. Lighting in office spaces is an important aspect when it comes to occupant health and well-being. Research in the field of lighting has mostly been focusing on the visible light spectrum and image-forming (IF) processes. However, with the discovery of melanopsin contai
The aim of this study is to investigate whether crops are a mechanism through which drought affects terrorist activity. The theory suggests that drought can affect conflict if the group or country affected also is dependent on agriculture, experiences low economic development and is politically excluded. This study adds the perspective that decreased crop harvests, due to drought, can be understoo
This paper investigates the role of knowledge acquisition in the internationalization of digital small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). An organizational learning perspective is adopted by examining how each of Huber’s (1991) five knowledge acquisition types are used in firm internationalization. An extensive overview of literature on the topic is provided, and additional insight is provided t
Various renovations were applied to the existing post-war building stock of the so called “Swedish Million Program”, that were built during the 1965 and 1974 period. Only 20% of those buildings were renovated and still the rest of them remains in need of vast renovations, to mitigate the climatic impact of the existing building stock. Nowadays, the annual rate of large-scale renovation in EU count
The world under globalization is moving toward a single market, where national economies are becoming more integrated and interconnected. In this context, over the last decades, the perception of FDI positive spillovers has made developed and developing countries competing to attract foreign investors. This study analyses the determinants of FDI during the globalization process, both theoretically
Early erythrocyte transfusion is common in infants born extremely premature. Research has shown that these children are at greater risk of morbidity later in life, and that iatrogenic blood loss from blood sample analysis is one of the contributing factors to the need for transfusions. Acoustophoresis-based plasmapheresis could potentially be used to reduce the loss of endogenous blood components
The purpose of the study was to explore how the challenges from globalisation impact to education in Thailand. The study will scrutinise the consequences of the processes of globalisation in the scope of international media, political, social and economic crisis and look at how this consequences have impact on the education in Thailand focusing on the 1999 National Education Act. Müller’s theory (
With this research I have answered the twofold question of how Cuba played a part in the making of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and what differences and similarities that can be found between the Cuban draft of Human Rights versus the final product of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since there is no previous research in this field I have chosen to look at some of the most
The increase in contact resistance within battery systems remains poorly understood, despite being one of the primary contributors to battery degradation. This project aims to investigate this phenomenon by modeling the electrical interface as a contact between a pin and a busbar. The main goal is to build a DOE and machine learning framework, using Bayesian optimization to efficiently explore the
This bachelor thesis uses firm registration and unemployment data to see if unemployment has an impact on the rate at which firms are formed in Swedish regions in the years 2005-2023. This is done through econometric modelling, namely a linear regression model with region and time specific effects. The results show that there indeed is a relationship between unemployment and firm formation, and sh
The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848) can be read as a protofeminist text and a radical novel for its time, as it confronted the lack of maternal rights and protection for children. In this paper I discuss the portrayal of motherhood, and the factors that empower and restrict Helen. Using Sarah Lewis´s Woman´s Mission (1839) and her contemporary views of maternal duty, this paper explores the complex
