The gene encoding a β-glucosidase originating from the extreme thermophile Thermotoga neopolitana has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The aim was to produce a thermostable enzyme that could be used to remove sugar residues from glucosylated natural products classified as flavonoids by applying a method combining extraction in hot pressurized water with enzymatic hydrolysis. The β-g

The possibility to integrate sustainability considerations in the public procurement process has been debated over recent decades, resulting in several legislative changes. Collaboration between public and private sectors is emphasised as important in the development of sustainable public procurement but few studies focus on public-private collaboration related to sustainable public procurement.

Based on behavioural finance theory and stock market data, this paper studies the contagion of investor sentiment in international markets and its impact o n the US stock market . We use monthly data on four indicators (business confidence index, consumer confidence index, the volume of initial public offerings, and trading volume) for eight countries (the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Germ

This research investigates the gender dimension of the impacts of access to clean and modern energy and technology in productive uses of energy. Rural organizations led by women supported by the EnDev project Bolivia were selected for a multi-site case study. This project aims to facilitate clean and modern energy access, create and strengthen rural markets, and alleviate poverty. The energy justi

Background Adolescence is characterized by large bodily changes and a heightened body-focus. It is also a sensitive period for the onset of various forms of psychopathology. Previous longitudinal studies have shown that body dissatisfaction is a predictor of disordered eating, non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI), and depression among adolescents. Body dissatisfaction, however, only represents one aspe

The 21st century has seen a rise of optimism about the prospects for African economic development, and Ethiopia, with its rapideconomic growth in the last two decades, is at the forefront of this current wave of optimism. The rapid growth has been achievedunder a policy focus on the agricultural sector – another aspect of development that has seen a renewed wave of optimism in the21st century. Rec

This essay examines if and how output-based aid (OBA) in the urban water sector contributes to long-term and pro-poor development. OBA is a results-based method where contractual agreements stipulate subsidy payments on delivery of outputs, rather than subsidies towards project inputs. To study the characteristics and effects of OBA, the essay adopts a New Institutional Economics perspective, and

Interest in human heredity has a long history in Sweden. In the 1920s the Parliament decided on a State institute for race biology and in the 1930s a sterilization legislation that put eugenics into practice was enacted. During the postwar decades both research and the political-medical practices were successively transformed: medical genetics became established and proclaimed as a new research fi

Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the most common bacteria infecting humans. One of the factors contributing to the disease-causing properties is the secreted streptococcal cysteine proteinase, SpeB, which degrades several host proteins in connective tissue and circulation. SpeB activity depends on the transformation from an inactive precursor, zymogen, into a mature proteinase. We show that

Several bacterial species express surface proteins with affinity for the constant region (Fc) of immunoglobulin (Ig) G. The biological consequences of the interaction with IgG are poorly understood but it has been demonstrated that genes encoding different IgG Fc-binding proteins have undergone convergent evolution, suggesting that these surface molecules are connected with essential microbial fun

In 2017 the Upper Secondary School Act [Hereafter gymnasielag/en] was adopted in Sweden and provided temporary residence permits and a chance of permanent residency to ‘unaccompanied refugee minors’ who previously had been denied asylum. This study includes voices of four young people who have managed to fulfil this journey from temporary permits to permanent. Moreover, three people who through va

This report contains an analysis of major fatal fires. The analysis is carried out using the methodology in the conference article "Learning from real fire incidents - A methodology for case studies." The methodology is used to systematically introduce, analyse and draw joint conclusions of the various events. The aim is to find the key factors leading to the development of the events, i

Failures due to instability phenomena will happen suddenly and can cause the whole structure to collapse. It’s therefore in the engineer’s best interest to have a good knowledge about these phenomena. One example of instability phenomena is column buckling, which is the main focus of this thesis. The main cases that are being evaluated have a single brace in the middle of a timber column with hi

Accidents nearby work zones are a persistent road safety problem in many European countries. The Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) has initiated and finances the IRIS project (Incursion Reduction to Increase Safety in road work zones) with the aim to collect and share information about best practices in temporary traffic management at road works. An analysis of work zone accidents a

Research question: How are organizations integrating ethical and strategic considerations into their approaches to AI implementation? Purpose: The purpose of this research is to systematically map ethical and strategic themes relevant to Artificial Intelligence Systems within the business context from a practitioner standpoint. This study aims to contribute to the understanding of this research fi
