In the present work the genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain QM9414 was used to produce full-length Ce17B (endoglucanase I, EGI) under the control of the constitutive Aspergillus nidulans gpdA promoter in the presence of glucose. However, the full-length Ce17B enzyme was found to be truncated to lower molecular weight components in the culture broth. Truncation of recombinant proteins pr
Despite an increasingly growth of professional guidelines, textbooks and research about ethics in health care, awareness about ethics in Danish physiotherapy private practice seen vague. This article explores how physiotherapists in Danish private practice, from an ethical perspective, perceive to practice physiotherapy. The empirical data consists of interviews with twenty-one physiotherapists. T
We report on the study of six similar buildings built in an area of Gothenburg, Sweden,in 1971, which are now in urgent need of renovation. However, the owner of thebuildings - a municipal housing company did not achieve a financially viablerenovation of the pilot project. This meant that renovation on a similar basis for theremaining five buildings would not be possible. For this reason the housi
To sample information optimally, sensory systems must adapt to the ecological demands of each animal species. These adaptations can occur peripherally, in the anatomical structures of sensory organs and their receptors; and centrally, as higher-order neural processing in the brain. While a rich body of investigations has focused on peripheral adaptations, our understanding is sparse when it comes
Important factors behind high levels of vulnerability and low adaptive capacity to climate variability and change in the developing world are direct reliance on natural resources, poverty and limited abilities to adapt financially and institutionally. In this study, focusing on the Lake Victoria Basin, a multitude of stressors on livelihoods, including climate related factors, are faced by the rur
Our clinical experience has suggested that the presently recommended patch-test concentration (1.0%) for formaldehyde in the baseline series might be too low. Therefore, consecutively patch-tested dermatitis patients were tested simultaneously with formaldehyde 1.0% and 2.0% (w/v) in aqua. Formaldehyde 1.0% and 2.0% were applied with a micro-pipette (15 microl) to filter paper discs in Finn Chambe
By tightly focusing ultra-short pulses from a Ti:sapphire terawatt laser onto a high-Z metallic target, hard x-ray pulses of short duration are produced. In most of our previous work concerning x-rays, a 150 mJ laser pulse with a 110 A duration has been used. Using mostly tin and tantalum targets, hard x-rays in the 10-60 keV range have been produced and used in differential absorption imaging aro
BACKGROUND: An open access technique might reduce severe vascular and visceral injuries. An open access technique through the umbilical cicatrix tube has been developed as a routine method with the goal to be easy, safe and used by all surgeons in patients without a previous midline incision. AIM: To evaluate the open technique in a prospective study in 100 consecutive laparoscopic operations rega
During the past two decades, considerable debate has taken place, particularly in India, on the imbalance in gender ratio and the question of 'missing women.' However, the recent discourses in India have changed the focus from 'missing women' to 'missing girls,' highlighting the precarious situation of female children before birth, at birth, and during childhood. Fetuses have been aborted on a mas
In this paper, we study a flexible routing strategy for demand protection and a corresponding optimization problem for networks that permanently experience fluctuations of the capacity available on their links. This is an important and novel topic as limited link availability is a fundamental feature of wireless networks; yet majority of work in survivable network design is restricted to total fai
The Van (forest) Gujjars, surviving as forest pastoralists in the central part of the Indian Himalaya, are a people who, due to their nomadic lifestyle, have since colonial rule found themselves at the margin of Indian society. This paper will look at the relationship between the Van Gujjars and their forest base in a historical perspective from colonial rule to 'conservation of nature' and the 'r
Self-assembly of block copolymers (BCPs) provides an attractive nanolithography approach, which looks especially promising for fabrication of regular structures with characteristic sizes below 10 nm. Nevertheless, directed self-assembly (DSA) and pattern transfer for BCPs with such small features remain to be a challenge. Here we demonstrate DSA of the maltoheptaose-block-polystyrene (MH1,2k-b-PS4
While research has been focusing on the human side of mergers and acquisitions (M&A’s), research on trust specifically is still an emerging field. Conducting M&A’s and integrating companies introduces major changes for the acquired employees, making trust a critical factor to consider and to conduct research upon. In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomena of trust, we stu
Children has become an increasingly important target group for the Swedish cultural politics where museums play an important role. This focus on children has urged the museums to create different activities, such as exhibitions, specially modeled for the target group. This thesis studies the possibilities for learning in three exhibitions that in different ways have been adjusted for children and
This thesis work has has been done at Sensative in Lund and the goal has been to build a prototype of a product which the company then may build further upon. The product aims to combine IoT with social responsibility by preventing drowning accidents with the data that is generated and sent via the product. Based of an initial description of the product provided by Sensative, the work then was div
This study investigates ideas about masculinity in criminal gangs, and how these ideas affect disengagement from gangs. A major problem with criminal gangs is that since they are outside society’s laws and norms, it is difficult for the judiciary to counter them with law enforcement. It is not possible to change gang member’s behaviors solely with laws, which leaves the legal system with a blind s
It is of importance for manufacturing companies to get an overview of costs associated with production. This thesis handles this subject with an emphasis on chosen cutting data as well as chosen tools since this has a large impact of the tooling cost. By modelling on cutting data available from tool manufacturers, cutting data can be implemented to test different cases in the production. This also
Infant mortality is a powerful indicator to measure the health and social status of a country. The purpose of this study is to identify the important factors that in uence the infant mortality of Bangladesh. Moreover, this study suggests the government and the policy makers to improve the health and social sectors for reducing the country's infant mortality signicantly. To investigate the impo
Psychologists have until lately been rather likeminded when it comes to how the human brain is interpreting and processing different types of information. We react in certain ways when exposed to certain information but considering those reactions stem from experiments mainly conducted on Americans is not something that is considered to be of importance. Whereas these statements tend to hold true
Tvångsomhändertagande av unga har på grund av dess ingripande karaktär länge varit föremål för samhällsdebatt. Lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga stadgar de materiella förutsättningarna för staten att tvångsvis vårda den unge. Med tanke på att ett tvångsomhändertagande in-nebär ett allvarligt ingrepp i den personliga integriteten är det ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv av avgörande beCompulsory treatment of young persons has, due to its intrusive charachter, been the subject of debate for a long time. The Care of Young Person Act states the prerequisites for the state to coercive care young in need. Considering that compulsory treatment is to be seen as a serious interference with the personal integrity, it is from a legal certainty perspective of crucial importance that the c
