Compared to other organisms in which the fatty acyl desaturases (FADs) are mostly involved in normal cellular lipid metabolism, moth FADs have evolved extent functions in the biosynthesis of sex pheromones. Female moths releasespecies-specific sex pheromones to attract conspecific males over a long distance for mating. Moth FADs are key enzymes producing the great diversity of moth sex pheromones.

Det finns runt 100 000 blinda och kraftigt synnedsatta individer (BKSI:er) i Sverige. Sådan synnedsättning leder till en kraftigt minskad förmåga för självständig förflyttning och lägre livskvalité, med ökad risk för arbetslöshet, trafikolyckor, en stillasittande livsstil och depression. Hälften av alla käpp- och hundanvändare är med om en huvudkollision årligen, och drygt var tredje för en fallolReduced independent mobility of blind and low-vision individuals (BLVIs) cause considerable societal cost, burden on relatives, and reduced quality of life for the individuals, including increased anxiety, depression symptoms, need of assistance, risk of falls, and mortality. Despite the numerous electronic travel aids proposed since at least the 1940’s, along with ever-advancing technology, the m

The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to understanding of the effect of organizational context on supply chain integration. One result is a context- based model that can provide support for practitioners regarding what level of integration to establish with suppliers and customers. Given the notion that most organizations are dependent on other organizations, it leads to a need for not only

Improving the accuracy of estimated GFR (eGFR) measurement in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) is an important goal.1 Current US and European recommendations suggest using race-free Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine-based eGFR (eGFRcr) equations (2021 age and sex [AS] or 2009 age, sex, and race–non-Black [ASR-NB]) in adults, without regard to cause or treatm

Projects in the space domain are extremely complex and often characterized as being “one-off”, which makes it very difficult to make good predictions on future developments. Furthermore, space projects are also associated with state-of-the-art technology, high costs and long development time. Risks are therefore a threat to project success because they may have negative effects on the project cost

Idag finns det många olika sätt att avbilda människokroppens inre. Två av de vanligaste metoderna som används idag är magnetresonans (MR) och datortomografi (CT). MR använder sig av starka magnetfält och radiovågor för att skapa snittbilder av kroppen, medan CT använder sig av röntgenstrålar. Båda kamerorna har sina fördelar och nackdelar. MR ger bättre vävnadskontrast, det vill säga det är lättarIntroduction MRI provides better soft tissue contrast than CT and is an invaluable tool in the radiotherapy treatment process. The gold standard today is image fusion of MRI and CT data where targets and organs-at-risk are delineated on the MRI data and the dose calculation is performed on the CT data. It is appealing to exclude CT from the process in order to reduce cost and time and to eliminate

This study makes a numeric and visual comparison of two different multibeam echo sounding (MBES) surveys performed at the exact same location, in an effort to establish how reliable and comparable the vertical depth measurements are. The horizontal position uncertainty is not issued in this study. The analysis was performed on data delivered by two survey contractors, The Norwegian Coastal Admini

Nowadays, most ship acquisition transactions are performed through the finance instruments, such as loan agreements. Whereas parties to this ship finance contracts, from one side, usually, is ship owner as borrower, and, from other side might be, financial institution, as lender – such as banks, funds or private companies. Thus, whatever principal amount of the loan would be finally agreed the len

The aim of this paper is to investigate certain aspects of the legal relationship between the EC and Switzerland in the field of public procurement. Public procurement can be defined as the purchase of goods, services, works and supplies by public authorities and enterprises. It comes as no surprise that public procurement has major economic ramifications, accounting for around 14% of the EC's

This thesis analyses the debate around the patents on human genes from three most important angles: ethical, legal and economic. In the ethical context, patents on gene-related inventions are often seen as inappropriate because of the alleged special status of human DNA. The special status stems from their alleged responsibility for everything from diseases to social propensities and personal trai

Aims of the studies: To apply and compare MR imaging metal artifact reducing sequences (MARS) including subtraction imaging after contrast application in patients with metal-on-metal (MoM) hip prostheses, investigate the prevalence and characteristics of periprosthetic abnormalities, as well as their relation with pain and risk factors. [Paper I]. To evaluate the distortion and artifact area of me

I Sverige finns det en nödvärnsrätt som ger en person rätt till ansvarsfrihet när denna försvarat sig mot ett brottsligt angrepp på sin person. Denna rätt har dock kritiserats för att vara utformad att fungera bättre i typiskt sett manliga våldssituationer, d.v.s. då en man attackeras av en annan för honom okänd man. Situationer då den fungerar sämre har ansetts vara då kvinnor använt dödligt våldSwedish law contains a right to self-defense which means that a person should not always be held criminal responsible if it uses violence to defend his- or herself against a violent attack from another person. The right to self-defense has however been criticized for being designed to work better in violent situations that are typical for men, i.e. when a man is attacked by another man that is unk

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: För att kunna planera jordbruket så att all mark används på bästa sätt behövs en databas som innehåller lämplig data. Det finns inte någon sådan för Laos, därför har vi valt att göra en databas och med hjälp av den beskriva norra Laos och speciellt Phonxay distriktet. Projektet gjordes i samarbete med National Agricultural and Forestry Institute (NAFRI) i Laos oSummary: When developing policies for agricultural land and land use planning, it is essential to have access to a land resource database. This database should include biophysical information, socio-economic, demographic and administrative data to simplify description of an area. In Lao PDR, no such database previously existed. Our objective therefore became to make a land resource database and to

In recent years more attention has been given to the rights of the indigenous peoples. Global awareness has been raised concerning the difficult circumstances under which they live. The ILO Convention No 169 and the UN Draft Declaration will serve as foundations for a new relationship between States and their indigenous peoples, promoting a stronger protection against discrimination and violations

Being acquainted with four of the most famous games in game theory, we will learn that players often are better paid off cooperating with each other, but that the structure of the game forces them to defect from cooperation. Only when confronted with the zero-sum game the players have no incentive to cooperate. In all the other games, cooperation is secured if the players commit themselves to adop

The enlargement of the European Union is upon us&semic a more advanced economic reasoning is developing&semic the European Commission receives an increased number of cases&semic a more developed and complex market stresses an increased sophistication of analysis and, finally, the Commission is exposed to an increased scrutiny by the European courts.
