Människan lever i samspel med en kolossal mängd bakterier. De finns på vår hud, i våra munnar och i våra tarmar. Detta samspel är en viktig del i vårat liv eftersom de bakterier som finns i våra tarmar har en viktig roll i nedbrytning av den näring vi får i oss. Dessa bakterier kan bryta ner olika typer av långa sockerkedjor som finns i växter som vi själva inte kan och låter oss därmed använda meThe human gut contains a vast number of bacteria. These bacteria allow us to digest the complex glycans that are part of our diet but we ourselves cannot digest. Among these bacteria one of the genera that is a major constituent is Bacteroidetes. One of the distinguishing features of this genus is its polysaccharide utilizing loci (PULs), clusters of genes for degradation of specific glycans and e

Genom att anlägga ett teoretiskt perspektiv av Judith Butler där kategorier som ”kön” och ”genus” betraktas som oseparerbara, och där en heterosexuell matris dikterar de villkor inom vilka kön, kroppar och begär (sexuella) befästs och uppfattas som naturliga och fixerade, har jag undersökt attityder till intersex hos personer som arbetar med barn och ungdomar inom samhällsinstitutioner i Malmö, SvThis study explores attitudes toward intersex amongst people working with children and youth within community institutions in Malmö, Sweden. This has been done by applying a theoretical perspective by Judith Butler where categories such as ”sex” and ”gender” are seen as inseparable and a heterosexual matrix dictates the conditions under which sex, bodies and desires (sexual) are naturalised and vi

Most Favoured Nation clauses are often incorporated into agreements between online platforms and suppliers. These MFN clauses entail that the prices that are set by suppliers on these platforms, are not higher than the prices on other platforms or the suppliers’ own websites. In this thesis it will be discussed what the competitive effects of MFN clauses are and how they should be assessed under E

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether abnormal returns can be observed in stock prices after the expiration of lock-up periods related to an IPO. In addition, the purpose is to analyse if private equity/venture capital (PEVC) ownership, the use of staggered lock-ups and the length of lock-up periods affect this return. Methodology: This event study examines how the market re

Barcoding is a coarse-grained optical DNA sequencing method, where DNA molecules are stained with fluorescent dyes to create sequence-dependent patterns similar to barcodes. For DNA adsorbed onto a glass surface, we need to be able to trace out these molecules for barcode extraction. We show that B-splines can be used to approximate the shape of adsorbed DNA molecules with curvature and present a

Parameterstudie på bränslenivåvisning Alla är bekanta med bränslenivåvisaren i bilar och litar på att den alltid ska fungera. Det finns några möjliga problem associerade med bränslenivåvisning som är viktiga att kartlägga för att försäkra att bränslenivåvisaren ger korrekt information i samtliga lägen. Bränslenivåvisning består av tre olika delar, mätning av nivån i tanken, filtrering av rådata saFuel level indication is an essential function in a car with the purpose of providing information about the fuel level to the driver at all times. In this thesis, different parameters are tested and evaluated to find the factors that can have an effect on fuel level indication. Tank volume, driving behaviour and fuel sloshing are evaluated as possible parameters. The results presented herein sugge

Intellectual Property Rights’ systems have not yet been admitted as policy instruments favouring economic performance of developing countries, and Intellectual Property itself has not been recognised as an economic asset as yet. While there is strong argument that robust IPR system fosters economic growth and development, suspicions of this argument still hold up in the national and international

After integrating also general schooling into the DQR in August 2017, the next pending debate is about the integration of non-formal qualifications into the DQR. Despite a consensus of involved actors to integrate non-formal qualifications into the DQR, the process stalled for a long time. This thesis gives an insight on the development of the DQR discourse surrounding non-formal qualification, by

Since the CJEU’s creation, it has been significant to solidify and review European Law. However, rather than merely being the dispute arbiter of the European Union, it is also seen to be a driver for political change and integration. The involvement of the CJEU in political matters has often been associated with judicial activism. An area especially prone to this phenomenon has been fundamental ri

Den colombianska konflikten har resulterat i att miljontals colombianer har tvingats överge sina hem. Syftet med den här studien har varit att undersöka och analysera hur väl UNHCR:s policy beskriver situationen för asylsökande från den colombianska ursprungsbefolkningen och asylsökande afrocolombianer. Syftet har även varit att ta fram de mest lämpliga lösningarna för dessa asylsökande. Materiale

Since the installment of direct elections to the European Parliament, turnout has been falling. The implications of low, and ever falling, turnout are many. By holding second-order elections in the form of local elections on the same day as the election for the European Parliament, which also is a second-order election, turnout increases. This thesis estimates that turnout would increase by approx

Swedish police, fire fighters and ambulance staff have since 2012 increasingly been attacked and driven out from, or prevented from entering certain neighbourhoods typically characterized by limitations to basic democratic freedoms and rights, high crime rates and social unrest. In some cases, the police have answered with passivity to the attacks. This normative analysis hypothetically considers

There has been an ongoing debate in the study of diffusion in policy making processes. Acharya (2009) believes that economic crisis was one of the reasons why the phenomenon of diffusion of foreign norms succeeds in Asian countries. It is argued that those norms replacing or assimilated to local ones could increase national self-strengthening (Acharya 2009). Furthermore, he believes that there is

This thesis examines EU’s adoption of a human security approach and the extent to which it has been part of crisis management discourse as well as practice in the Sahel region of Africa. It tells the story of a maturing process for a core approach in EU security policy; that is, the story of human security and how the concept has evolved from a state of innocence to gradual experience and adolesc

I augusti 2016 skrev colombianska regeringen och FARC-gerillan under ett fredsavtal som skulle avsluta den längsta väpnade konflikten i modern historia. Det genomfördes samma år i oktober en folkomröstning i landet som skulle ratificera fredsavtalet. Inför folkomröstningen uppmärksammades polariseringen bland befolkningen rörande inställningen till det framarbetade avtalet. Huvudsakligen på grund

I denna uppsatts lyfter jag fram olika perspektiv på den personliga integriteten och avvägningar när det gäller samhällets bästa i samband med tvångsvaccination. När man närmare undersöker tvångsvaccinering ser man att det både finns ett flertal argument både för och emot det. Bland det viktigaste argumenten kan lyftas fram att vaccination skyddar människor och räddar liv och rätten tills en egn

I sökande för övergångsrättvisa kan folkgrupper som har blivit utsatta för grova övergrepp använda beteckningen folkmord. Tre stater som har valt denna angreppsätt är Estland, Lettland och Litauen. Fokus ligger på det sovjetiska våldet gentemot dessa länders etniska befolkning fr.o.m. år 1939, då Sovjet och Tyskland ingick icke-angreppspakten t.o.m. år 1993 när sista sovjetiska trupper lämnade Lit

The aim of the study is to critically review the Swedish government's views on Swedish research by examining a researsch policy through a discourse analysis based on Carol Bacchi's WPR method. The material consists of the Swedish government's research proposition "Kunskap i samverkan, för samhällets utmaningar och stärkt konkurrenskraft". The analysis focuses on identifying w

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att ta reda på hur media rapporterar kring terrorattentat beroende på om terroristen är muslim eller icke-muslim. Genom att använda sociologen Norbert Elias teori om Etablerade och outsiders har jag för avsikt att se huruvida media producerar och ökar skillnader mellan grupper genom sin rapportering. Två specifika attentat kommer att behandlas; terrorattentatet i Norg
