With the increased efficiency of sequencing methods, large quantities of genomic information are quickly becoming available. To make use of this, methods are needed that can discern useful information from these vast data quantities. Such information could be the presence and position of specified genes with known properties. Due to their highly conserved sequences and their prevalence across all

Moderna elektronikprylar så som mobiltelefoner, datorer och surfplattor innehåller flera integrerade kretsar vars uppgifter varierar. En dator har till exempel en viss integrerad krets, kallad processor, vars uppgift är att uföra beräkningar och att driva operativsystemet. Samma dator innehåller även ytterliggare integrerade kretsar vars uppgifter kan vara att behandla grafik, ljud och trådlös komIn this thesis, InGaAs fins with vertical sidewalls consisting of {110} facets were epitaxially grown on InP(111)B substrates using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. A lithography patterned hydrogen silsesquixane growth mask was used to promote the formation of vertical {110} facets during the growth. The relative growth rate of the {111B} and {110} facets was controlled by the input V/III ratio i

Stärkt cirkulär ekonomi genom upphandling av rekonditionerade kontorsmöbler Att kommuner köper rekonditionerade och begagnade kontorsmöbler istället för nya har visat sig vara bra ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Detta då det finns flera hållbarhetsfördelar med rekonditionerade möbler, främst i form av ekonomiska, miljömässiga och sociala vinster. Trots dessa vinster utgör inköp av rekonditioneradeAlthough reconditioned office furniture can implicate both environmental and monetary savings for contracting authorities, it seems relatively unusual for public authorities to purchase reconditioned furniture. The aim of this study is to investigate in what way public procurement of reconditioned furniture can be used as a strategy to strengthen the development towards a circular economy. To anal

Based on corpora and earlier studies, this paper mainly attempts to answer the question how constructions of restrictive which and that have developed in comparison to one another in American and British English news until today. Corpus queries are designed to match patterns of particular object and subject gap constructions, such as I like the ball that/which is green with subject gap and It is t

In recent years the emergence and increase of new psychoactive substances (NPS) has confounded countries worldwide. One of the main characteristics of NPS is its avoidance of legislation and the use of internet as a resource to discuss and trade the substances. These substances are considered a threat to the safety of individuals and the general public health. Due to these circumstances, different

During long time, France have had a history of representing right- and left wing parties in their presidential election. In the presidential election of 2017 this changed with a representation of centrist Emmanuel Macron and Extreme Right Marine Le Pen. Since Front National’s often named in the context of nationalist and populist extreme right parties, the aim of this thesis is to examine what it

The Swedish government has committed to a steep increase in renewable energy production, with the aim that Sweden's energy supply should become entirely renewable by 2040. One of the renewable energy forms that is currently under expansion is wind power, with approximately a third of existing installed capacity in the four northernmost provinces. In these provinces, however, the wind power dev

This paper explores how marketing is conducted in for-profit social ventures. Knowledge regarding the for-profit social context is considered rather limited given that it has been largely marginalized by being associated either to the fully for-profit or solely non-profit extremes. In that respect, much of the existing literature has not to acknowledge the unique challenges that a dual mission, su

BAKGRUND: Operations- och anestesisjuksköterskans kompetensbeskrivningar belyser vikten av att ha god förmåga att kommunicera med och fatta beslut i samråd med resterande teammedlemmar och de har ett gemensamt ansvar för patientsäkerheten. SYFTE: Att beskriva operationssjuksköterskans syn på det perioperativa samarbetet med anestesisjuksköterskan och dess påverkan på patientsäkerheten. METOD: Kv

The purpose of this thesis is to explore how individuals perceive a personal brand online on social media, compared to how it is perceived offline in real life, and whether there is a difference in the perception of the personal brand. By using Instagram as an empirical context, this thesis explores similarities and differences in the perceptions of a personal brand from a perspective of ordinary

The electric vehicle public charging network has been suggested as a major challenge hampering the further adoption of electric vehicles. Little research have applied a user perspective when investigating the charging network, and there is a knowledge gap concerning what affects the charging network experience of electric vehicle drivers. The area of research was limited to include electric vehicl

Risk för föroreningsspridning vid framtida översvämningar Mellan åren 1995 och 2015 registrerades över 3000 översvämningskatastrofer världen över. Detta gör översvämningar till den överlägset vanligaste förekommande naturolyckan. På grund av pågående klimatförändringar och den globala uppvärmningen förväntas antalet översvämningar bli ännu fler i framtiden. Detta beror dels på att framtida skyfaAccording to IPCC:s latest report a rise in extreme weather situations is expected as a result of global warming. Climate changes are causing more intense precipitation and rising sea levels. Because of this, flood events are expected to increase. Studies show that flood events cause increased transport of contaminants due to flooding of contaminated sites. This can cause harm on both humans and t

This paper attempts to extend the knowledge in entrepreneurial theory, through the expansion of traditional concepts for entrepreneurial processes, to identify a new phenomenon in new venture creation. In combination with previous research on entrepreneurial processes, creation theory, user entrepreneurs and community-driven innovation in the sport industry, the study will focus on a single in-dep

The purpose of this study is to explore the opportunities and challenges for self-employed artists who use social media for their business. The research is focused on painters and illustrators who have digitalised and commercialised their own artwork. The method follows a qualitative research framework with a comparative design of multiple cases on the level of individual artists. Seven artists fr

Nya Zeeland – landet som ligger mitt på två kolliderande tektonikplattor. Ett land som präglas av jordbävningar och vulkanutbrott. Utanför Auckland i norra Nya Zeeland ligger den mytomspunna ön Rangitoto, som är en vulkan som tros ha uppstått från en s.k. hotspot, en plym av magma från djupt i manteln. Rangitoto har en eruptionshistoria på omkring 1000 år, och hade sitt senaste utbrott för bara 55The volcano Rangitoto belongs to the Auckland volcanic field and is situated north east of Auckland city, New Zealand. The volcanos of the Auckland volcanic field have previously thought to be of monogenetic origin, but recent studies indicate that Rangitoto has a long history of eruptions, which would suggest that the volcanic system may have entered a new phase. The last eruption is dated to 500

In this report the preparation of colloidal molecules through electrostatically driven self-assembly of spherical, thermoresponsive microgel building blocks is investigated. Colloidal molecules are of interest to the scientific community because, unlike spherical colloids, they account for anisotropic interactions that can also be found in atomic molecules. The added benet of using thermoresponsiv

Optisk stimulerad luminiscens-analys (OSL-analys) är en metod som används för att datera bl.a. sediment från senkvartär tid. Det är av intresse för att ta reda på när geologiska händelser ägde rum och när isarna rört sig under senaste glaciationen och deglaciationen. Ett mineral som kan användas för åldersbestämning med OSL är kvarts. OSL åldersbestämmer inte kvartskornet utan avsättningsåldern föOptically stimulated luminescence analysis (OSL analysis) is a method used to date sediments from late Quaternary. The method is useful to find out when geological events took place and when the ice sheets moved during the recent glaciation and deglaciation. A mineral that can be used for determination of age with OSL is quartz. The OSL dating method does not determine the age of the individual qu
