Popular Abstract in English Plants harvest sunlight to fix air carbon dioxide into a form which is the fundamental source of energy for other organisms such as animals. The domestication of crop plants and traditional breeding practices has resulted in increased yield and nutritional value of crops. This comes at a cost of loss in genetic variability that is required by living organisms to adapt tPotato is one of the major food crops and its yield is severely affected by late blight disease caused by Phytophthora infestans. P. infestans has the ability to manipulate plant defence signalling by secreting effector molecules causing so called effector triggered susceptibility. Some plants can recognize these effectors via resistance proteins that reactivate plant defence and lead to effector

The process of agricultural intensification in England has brought with it significant negative environmental and biodiversity impacts associated with large-scale land use change. The Common Agricultural Policy, implemented at the European Union level, has historically been a significant driver of this intensification, but has also introduced agri-environmental (AE) policies for managing these neg

Today more and more people choose to live a life as cohabitants instead of being married. In today’s Cohabitees Act from 2003 the cohabitants have an lower legal status than marriage. The same thing applies for cohabitants provision for surviving. Cohabitants have no legal right of inheritance when one cohabitant dies. The purpose of this essay is to investigate the legal system in Sweden and Nor

The interaction between living groups A, C and G streptococci and IgG Fc was studied using human IgG, IgG Fc and IgG Fc-intermediate (Fci) fragments, chemically modified human IgG and fragment D of staphylococcal protein A (SPA). Diethylpyrocarbonate modification of His or N-acetylimidazole modification of Tyr of human IgG resulted in the loss of its capacity to inhibit the binding of radiolabelle

The interventions of the Turkish military in Turkish politics have been many and severe. As a consequence the development of a Turkish democracy has been backtracked and halted on occasions. The country’s aspirations for EU-membership have also been hindered. At the center of political (re)development in Turkish politics we find the constitution of 1982. This constitution, written by the military,

Popular Abstract in English News about global warming, discussions about alternative fuels such as natural-gas and biogas, and commercials about gas engines sound familiar to the most people living in modern societies. Why global warming is important? What is the role of natural-gas engines in this subject? Are natural-gas engines efficient? Do they perform as well as diesel engines? If not, why? Most heavy-duty engines are diesel operated. Severe emission regulations, high fuel prices, high technology costs (e.g. catalysts, fuel injection systems) and unsustainably in supplying fuel are enough reasons to convenience engine developers to explore alternative technologies or fuels. Using natural gas/biogas can be a very good alternative due to the attractive fuel properties regarding emissio

Responsibility to Protect is a principle that has developed from a report written by ICISS in 2001. The report was inspired by a statement of Kofi Annan where he questioned how the international community would stop another incident like Rwanda or Srebrenica. Since then many situations have occurred that has challenged the concept of R2P. The debate about humanitarian interventions based on intern

Politeness in Japanese has been the subject of many linguistic inquiries. Overarching these is Brown and Levinson's (1987) influential but also criticized (see Matsumoto, 1988; Ide 1992) theory on politeness as a cross-linguistic factor. By looking into the desu/masu-form and how it contrasts the so called plain form in Japanese, I will show that some of the criticism is misplaced, partly due

The so-called ‘Resource curse’ has manifested in several resource rich countries in the African continent. When Ghana found oil in 2007, the finding was consequently accompanied by high hopes of economic growth and increased social welfare (blessing), but also fear that they oil would increase corruption and political patronage (curse). The resource curse literature identifies extensive checks and

In March 2020 the European Commission put forward a new strategy for Europe's industrial future. The stated goal of the Strategy is to establish a globally competitive and world-leading industry that paves the way for climate neutrality, digital leadership and European strategic autonomy. The aim of this thesis is to broaden the understanding of EU’s industrial policy by analysing how the Comm

Increasing evidence shows that climate change and other sustainability challenges are, in fact, internal relationship crises. The author points to the potential of our minds, mindfulness, and compassion to stem the climate crisis through their potential to foster fundamental aspects of connection, including our human relationship with nature.

“Water is life”. During the past decade this phrase has been used repeatedly to emphasize the importance of a number of issues surrounding water services provision including, supply, distribution, governance and political will. This research seeks to investigate the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NCWSC), a water utility in Kenya, which faces the monumental task of providing water and san

Many birds and mammals show substantial circadian variation in body temperature, which has been attributed to fluctuations in ambient temperature and energy reserves. However, to fully understand the variation in body temperature over the course of the day, we also need to consider effects of variation in work rate.

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is expected to have a significant effect in the use of algorithmic trading (AT). AT is already dominating the type of trading in financial markets, and ML can increase the capacity of electronic trading. The rationale of this study is to examine the current adoption of AI and ML in AT, and why trading firms in the financial industry should use

The purpose of this thesis is to further the understanding of the interaction between museum architecture and the daily operation of the museum, eg the exhibitions, work shops and other activities and how this affect the way we may understand the function of a museum. I have used Norman Faircloughs critical discourse analysis to analyse several articles concerning the resent construction of two mu

Light microscopy is a powerful single-cell technique that allows for quantitative spatial information at subcellular resolution.
