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

Partial migration is a widespread phenomenon over various animal taxa where one part of the population migrates whereas the other part stays resident. Reasons triggering individuals to migrate while others stay are of high importance to understand ecological and evolutionary processes. Physiological parameters such as immune function have previously been shown to affect wintering decision in birds

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study is to examine if there is a legitimate reason for the fact that only a fraction of the venture capital in Sweden is allocated to female entrepreneurs. The study examines the differences in performances between female- and male-founded companies, as measured in return on asset. The study will also look at the relationship between female representation in V

This study has aimed to understand the experiences of the Turkish women who share their knitting videos on YouTube through using the virtual ethnography conducted. The participant women mostly describe themselves as a “housewife” and/or specify their roles through association with domestic tasks, which is related to the position of assigned to many women by Turkish society. Most of them were born

It is important to the recruitment company that only quality candidates, and the candidates most likely to receive an offer of employment get short-listed to go through the carriers selection process. It is this second phase of the recruitment process, the short-listing of potential candidates, that will be the focus of this thesis. Data has being gathered by the recruitment company through an i

As reference a more common statistical prediction method, namely the generalized linear model, is applied to compare the results of the machine learning methods. Six different machine learning methods are investigated. These methods are explained in detail and used to predict hit rates within insurance customers. To further

Inom partikelfysik studeras de minsta beståndsdelarna i vårt universum – de fundamentala partiklarna – och samspelet mellan de. Idag beskrivs partikelfysiken bäst av Standard Modellen. Enligt Standard Modellen finns det tre olika typer av partiklar: kvarkar, leptoner och bosoner. Kvarkar och leptoner är partiklarna som bygger upp materia, medan bosoner är så kallade ”kraftförmedlare” för de fundam

Since its inception, Estonia has been at the forefront of innovation in terms of e-governance and applications of online systems into various aspects of Estonians’ lives. In 2014 Estonia opened up it’s digital borders and launched a digital economic citizenship - e-Residency - available to anyone in the world for using Estonian e-services to register and manage a company online. In May 2018, 5000

For many applications a fracture is a disaster, leading to failure of the application and thus its usefulness. However, when it comes to the opening of a food and beverage package, fracture is a necessity. At Tetra Pak, food and beverage packages are produced to make food safe and available everywhere. Today, many of the packages include polymer parts, such as the opening of the packages. In the

District heating systems need to be made more ecient. Lower system temperatures are desirable for the eciency of the entire system, but it also decreases the temperature-margins that can compensate for faults in the system. Therefor it is crucial to decrease these errors. The majority of the improvement potential is on the customer's side of the system; in the substation or in the building'

Sedan 1998 har Sverige haft en lagstiftning gällande prostitution som gör det lagligt sälja men inte att köpa sex. Sverige var på den tiden först i världen med kriminaliseringen och sedan dess har flera andra länder följt det svenska exemplet. På senare tid har det diskuterats huruvida denna lagstiftning ska utvidgas för att omfatta situationer när svenska medborgare köper sex av prostituerade utoSince 1998 Sweden has had legislation concerning prostitution that makes it legal to sell but not to buy sex. Sweden was at that time first in the world with this criminalization and since then several other countries followed the Swedish example. More recently it has been discussed whether this legislation should be extended to cover situations where Swedish citizens buy sex from prostitutes abro

This study aims at investigating the thematic patterns in media presentations of Swedish communal social services and the social service workers: how is the media discussion created and established? Which areas are paid the main attention? How is the field being portrayed in media? The study is based on a material found in Swedish newspapers published under a three-month period in the end of 2014.

Access to clean water for drinking and sanitation is a human right. Today water scarcity is a large problem and inequality in access to safe water is a striking truth. In Mozambique, the US foreign aid agency Millennium Challenge Corporation introduced the Rural Water Point Installation Program to increase access to safe water and sanitation – a step towards reducing poverty. 600 water points – in

The growing use of wind energy as major energy source, has led to the construction of large wind farms. The control of such wind farms is typically separated into control at wind turbine level and at wind farm level. The wind farm controller assures that the wind farm produces the demanded amount of power, by providing set-points for the turbines in the farm. The local turbine control assures that

For the performance of the Haldex Active Yaw Control, accurate information about vehicle's lateral dynamic is important. It is for practical reasons not possible to measure the vehicle's lateral velocity, wherefore this state has to be estimated. Previous work [1] with an observer based on a single track bicycle model show promising results but with limited accuracy at high lateral acceler
