The Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domain is a transcriptional repression module responsible for the DNA binding-dependent gene silencing activity of hundreds of vertebrate zinc finger proteins. We previously exploited KRAB-mediated repression within the context of a tet repressor-KRAB fusion protein and of lentiviral vectors to create a method of external gene control. We demonstrated that with th
The poison dart frogs Oophaga granulifera and Oophaga pumilio are distributed in Nicaragua (only O. pumilio), Costa Rica and Panama. The ecology and behavior of both species has attracted scientifc attention for several reasons. These frogs exhibit toxicity in combination with bright coloration and diversification into different color morphs. Moreover, they display highly aggressive and territoria
In spite of the importance of legumes in Latin American diets, nutritional features of carbohydrates in these seeds are scarcely known. The purpose of this study was to assess the in vitro digestibility of starch in cooked powdered black beans, a common type of product in Mexico and Central America. The properties of a commercial product were compared to those of an experimental material obtained

In this thesis, I examine how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected six libraries in the Swedish public library system through interviews with employees at said libraries during the period between March 2020 to March 2021. In the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, access to digital media, the Internet and assistance from library staff have been limited. Most activities aiming to promote digital li
What indicates that the Scandinavian bog bodies were places in bogs as a result of a ritual act? This paper will try to look into this by studying different cases of bog bodies from the Early Iron Age. To answer this question, I will examine the various theories researchers provide regarding bog bodies and why they were deposited. In a time period and region which is mainly dominated by cremation,
As temperatures on Earth are rising, the Polar regions experience most rapid climatic changes. In the Swedish Scandes, the alpine tree line is considered as one of the most sensitive indicators of climate change. Therefore, the aim of this study is to study the most important abiotic factors driving position change of the alpine tree line. Through a literature study, these mechanisms were studied
Bakgrund: Medarbetarsamtal används idag inom en mängd organisationer och syftet är ofta att samtalen ska leda till effekter vad gäller kompetensutveckling, kommunikation och relationer på arbetsplatsen, medarbetarnas motivation samt mycket annat. Mot bakgrund av detta finner jag det intressant att genomföra en studie som granskar i vilken utsträckning samtalen, när de tillämpas i en organisation,
Problem: Företag idag ser tyvärr kommunikation som en sidoeffekt av en organisations övergripande planering. Detta är mycket negativt då man med en effektiv kommunikation och information i företaget bland annat kan vinna tid, skapa ett bättre samarbeta och på så sätt tjäna pengar. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka och analysera internkommunikationen på Grossisternas Malmökontor.
