Popular Abstract in Swedish Cytokrom P450 är en grupp enzymer som introducerar alkoholgrupper i främst icke-vattenlösliga ämnen. Alkoholgupperna gör dessa föreningar mer vattenlösliga och känsliga för fortsatta reaktioner. Cytokrom P450-enzymer återfinns i de tre domäner allt levande kan indelas i: eukaryoter (djur, växter, svampar, protozoer m.m.), bakterier och arkeér (ett slags bakterier som skCytochromes P450 constitute a super-family of heme containing mixed function mono-oxygenases that is found in all branches of life. They introduce single oxygen atoms, mostly in the form of hydroxyl groups, into lipophilic substances and thereby render them more hydrophilic and susceptible to further reactions. Little is known about the bacterial cytochromes P450. I have in my thesis given an over

Relict spinel grains (similar to 25-250 mu m in diameter) from decomposed extraterrestrial material in Archean to Recent sediments can be used to reconstruct variations in the flux of different types of meteorites to Earth through the ages. Meteorite falls are rare and meteorites weather and decay rapidly on the Earth surface, making it a challenge to reconstruct ancient fluxes. Almost all meteori

This paper draws attention to the potential benefits of using photographs in combination with interviews, that is to say photo elicitation. As defined by Harper (2002), photo elicitation is “based on the simple idea of inserting a photograph into a research interview” (p. 13). The photographs can be taken by the researcher or the participant to evoke comments. If participants are asked to produce

Urban mobility as we know it is changing. On the one hand, challenges persist ranging from climate change, increasing urbanization and demographic change. On the other hand, recent technological advances enable novel approaches to mobility altogether. This paper investigates Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) as one such innovative mobility form in the context of the changing urban mobility paradigm. Du

There are laws that prohibit ships from discharging solid waste into the Mediterranean Sea. However, it’s estimated that between 15-35% of all plastic found in the Mediterranean comes from merchant shipping. Economic incentives are important to make ships reduce their maritime litter, and this essay will assess economic policies to prevent further pollution. France and Spain have different systems

In 2008 the National Library of Sweden made a decision to change the Swedish classification system SAB to the internationally used Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), a decision that was supported by the Swedish Library Association that recommended all Swedish libraries to make the change. The main reasons and arguments were internationalisation and rationalisation; less time should be laid on cla

Age is one of our seven grounds of discrimination and the one that causes the most people to feel discriminated. In addition, it is a basis to which there are numerous of statutory exceptions which, despite the Discrimination Act, allow employers to disadvantage or discriminate people because of their age. The purpose of this essay was to investigate why and when it is permitted to make exceptions

Mangrove forests are highly productive and vital ecosystems within the tropical and subtropical latitudes. They are considered biodiversity hot spots and hosts ha vast variety of species, both terrestrial and marine, and they are also found to be one of the most productive carbon pools in the world. Mangroves additionally provide coastal communities with timber but also important shelter from tsun

Recent technological advancements have revolutionized tree inventory methods for the forest industry. The development of terrestrial laser scanning (TSL) and automatized tree recognition software to estimate crucial tree parameters such as diameter at breast height (DBH) has made the inventory work faster and more reliable. Forest managers can quickly acquire large amounts of data to safely estima

An increase of cycling is known to increase health, lower gas-emissions and lower traffic-congestion. In cities with a high modal-share of bicycling, a higher quality of life can be measured. “Supercykelvägar” in The Netherlands and Denmark are defined as forming the backbone of the regional cycling-network. Malmö is planning to implement six routes of “supercykelvägar” within the city and the fir

In this master thesis I examine the conceptions that are found among children's librarians and course managers for courses in pedagogy at Swedish LIS education on how pedagogy can be linked to the children's librarian's role in working with children aged 0–6. As well as how pedagogy can be linked to the children's librarians' examples of working methods that they themselves do

Factors contributing to valuable development assistance are often perceived as a "black box," due to heterogeneity of development aid motives. This research brings out that too often, the value of aid is assessed from the perspectives of the donors rather than from its recipients. Therefore, this thesis takes a focus to study the recipient's perspectives for valuable development assi

The question of Palestine remains one of the most salient dilemmas for policymakers and scholars interested in Middle Eastern and international affairs due to its protracted nature, the many structural limitations it is subject to, and the human and material costs it continues to generate. This thesis explores the current opportunities for regional cooperation in the MENA region around the Palesti

In today society people live longer and along with the rising life expectancy chronic diseases, like dementia, will become more common. The demand on more and better assistive technology, technology that ease the everyday life for the persons with dementia, will increase. The assistive technology currently recommended by occupational therapists are mainly low-technological solutions. There exist

How does democracy affect income inequality? Most would expect democracy to reduce income inequality. There is a general consensus that indeed democratizations in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth century did decrease income inequality. More recent democratizations, those countries that democratized during the 1970s-1990s, however, do not seem to have had the same effect. The body o
