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
The present study aimed at investigating the recent phenomenon termed Fear of missing out (FOMO), which builds on a feeling of constantly having to be connected to what other people are doing on social media in order to not miss out. The purpose of this study was to see if a link between FOMO and social media addiction is present and if Swedish university students’ well-being and academic performa
The city of Chennai evolved around the river, Cooum. The river supports irrigation to agricultural fields in the north and supplies water to the city of Chennai. It also acts as a major flood carrier for the city. Before the 1960s, the river was clean and used for activities such as bathing, boating and fishing. During the colonial rule, the city was initially planned to sustain a much lesser popu
When you first step ashore the island of Ven, in Öresund right between Sweden and Denmark, you have two options. Either you go straight ahead, towards the bike rental, or you turn to your right and start walking along the shore. If you do so, you will soon start to find colourful pebbles on the ground along the waterline. Some are round and soft to the touch, others are rough and edgy, and they ar
Recent urban development has serious consequences such as limited space and expanded urban sprawl which lead to complex problems on the edge. Also, there is large number of urbanization where people from rural areas try to find better opportunities by moving to big cities. Furthermore, fringe area seems like an unplanned area which lose its identity and do not optimize its potentials. Those situat

With the ever increased focus on sustainability and not least the focus on sustainability in the tourism industry this thesis has critically investigated the suitability of the Tourism Carrying Capacity method in a Danish outdoor-tourism context. The research found that there are considerable limitations and challenges to implementing a TCC approach in Denmark, and even if implemented, legally, cu
Ett av de viktigaste områdena inom klimatologi idag är utvecklingen av klimatmodeller. För att utvärdera hur bra en viss klimatmodell fungerar utförs jämförelser med klimatrekonstruktioner baserade på proxy-data, vilket är indirekt klimatinformation som kan fås från klimatarkiv. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka klimatmodellers förmåga att återskapa klimatet i Nordatlanten-regionen under deOne of the most important areas in climatology today is the development of climate models. To evaluate how well a particular climate model is working it is compared with climate reconstructions based on proxy-data, which is indirect climate information that can be obtained from climate archives. The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of climate models to recreate the climate in the No
Biopharmaceuticals are a fast-growing niche in the pharmaceutical industry compared to small molecules. Even though a lot of progress has been made in recent years, the process to take a drug candidate to clinical trials can be lengthy and the selection process of high producing stable clones can be an arduous process. In this master thesis the design of new expression vectors for the production
Agricultural intensification is seen as a major threat to global biodiversity. Semi-natural grasslands play an important role in maintaining biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Biodiversity and community structure in semi-natural grasslands depends not only on local management but also on the surrounding land-use. Further knowledge on landscape-scale effects would help improving the managemen
Denna rapport är utförd i kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering (VBRN70) som ges under fjärde läsperioden på Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Denna rapport har granskat den handkirurgiska avdelningen på Sahlgrenska sjukhuset i Mölndal ur ett personsäkerhetsperspektiv vid brand. I kombination utav MSBs databas och de 67 bilder tagna utav handledaren Robert McNamee, samt dokument utgivna av kontaktperson Robin This report is a fire safety risk analysis about the hand surgery department of Sahlgrenska hospital in Mölndal. It is a new department since March 2021 in the top four floors of building K. Since the Covid-19 restrictions are still in effect a visit to the hospital was not an option. Therefore, it was harder to gain understanding of fire hazards, layout and materials in the building. Instead, a s
The aim of this study is to analyze the texts and images appearing on the internet homepage of the Swedish national archive - riksarkivet.se. This is done by using the discourse analysis theory, as it is presented by Laclau and Mouffe. By using this as a theory and method my goal is to highlight the way the website presents their historical perspective, as well as how they legitimize themselves as
Förlust av biodiversitet är ett av de största globala miljöbetingade problemen idag. Arter står inför ökande och potentiellt synergistiska hot från markomvandling och överexploatering av naturresurser, från globala såväl som lokala socioekonomiska krafter. Populationerna av ryggradsdjur har mellan år 1970 och 2016 visat på en global genomsnittlig minskning på 68 procent. Större djur, s.k. megafaunThe critically endangered Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis) has, due to previous hunting and habitat loss, diminished to a few non-viable and fragmented populations. Despite a relatively large amount of conservation efforts during the last 30 years, numbers are still declining. Accurate numbers today are unknown, since the species is rare. Information indicates that less than 100 indi

This study deals with the health and wellbeing of humans who work in offices as well as the energy use for the lighting. The focus is on how integrative lighting and daylight harvesting can be combined in an attempt to reduce the energy consumption while still eliciting a circadian response for the workers. The aim of this study is to investigate a combination of integrative lighting and daylight
Till följd av en ökad aktivitet inom internationella nätverk för städer har miljö- och klimatfrågor alltmer kommit att betraktas som karaktäristisk lokala i sin skala. Städer har i sin tur alltmer kommit att betraktas som betydande platser där innovativa lösningar på dessa frågor uppstår. Matfrågor, som tidigare har hanterats som landsbygds- och nationella frågor, har också funnit sin väg till den
Abstract Zoos have been gaining increased popularity from tourists in recent years, as many people feel distant from wildlife and thus are eager to experience closeness with animals. The aim of this paper is to analyse tourist experiences of modern zoo tourism and the research question asked is “What types of tourist experiences are tourists gaining when visiting a modern zoo?” To achieve this ai
Mänsklig aktivitet leder till ett konstant och oundvikligt flöde av olika typer av avfall som måste hanteras och behandlas. Hushållsavfall, sådant avfall som uppstår i våra hem samt i bland annat skolor, vårdinrättningar och arbetsplatser, är den mest komplexa avfallsströmmen att hantera. Detta eftersom den vanligtvis består av mängder av olika material såsom papper, plast, glas och matrester. VärManagement of municipal solid waste (MSW) is an urgent issue throughout the world. Urbanization, population increase, and economy growth are all factors which contribute to an increase of MSW generation. The most common treatment method of MSW is through landfilling, which lead to a constant dissipation of resources in terms of material and energy, as well as environmental pollution and emission o
In this thesis, I investigate the concept of love in relation to feminist epistemology. Through a theoretical analysis and assessment, the aim has been to first of all examine ontological tensions between feminist works theorizing on love; secondly, to analyse which role the concept of love has in the works; and thirdly to contextualize the different ontological assumptions made within the basic t
