Modifying Fletchervirus with CRISPRi in Campylobacter jejuni and using PCR to create a synthetic genome

Campylobacter jejuni causes around 100 million cases of gastroenteritis each year and are often transmitted to humans through the consumption of contaminated food, especially poultry. One of the natural enemies of C. jejuni is the bacteriophage Fletchervirus.

To clear-cut or not to clear-cut; Cost-benefit analyses of post-fire management approaches in the Ljusdal fire-complex

Skogsbränder hotar bevarandet av skogens ekosystemtjänster såsom ekologiska funktioner för biologisk mångfald, mildring av effekter från klimatförändringar och rekreation såsom skogspromenader och bärplockning. Hur kan vi ingripa för att återhämta och bibehålla sådana funktioner i naturen efter bränder? I den här studien undersöktes potentialen för återhämtningen av skogar utifrån skogsåtgärder efWildfires causes natural disturbances to ecosystems which can have potentially damaging results for ecosystem services and economic income from timber production. The post-fire management approach can be essential for the environmental work regarding the recovery of ecosystems and maintaining ecosystem services. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate different post-fire management approac

Bil, gång, cykel eller buss? En studie av lösningar för att skifta från bil till hållbara färdmedel i Järfälla kommun.

Som sanden i timglaset rinner tiden iväg för att stoppa de globala klimatförändringarna, med ödesdigra konsekvenser för nuvarande och kommande generationer. En av de största utmaningarna är att minska utsläppen från transporter som utgör en tredjedel av de svenska växthusgasutsläppen. Privatbilismen är en av de största klimatbovarna där andelen resor fortsätter öka trots vidtagna samhällsåtgärder.Achieving a transport emission reduction in line with global reduction targets is considered as one of the greatest environmental challenges societies are facing today. As car use continues to increase, there is a need to better understand what influences individuals' choice of transportation and how to bring about behavioural change where fewer choose to travel by car. This study addresses th

Safeguarding Financial Integrity and Privacy in the EU's Internal Market: Balancing Anti-Money Laundering Obligations against Fundamental Rights to Privacy

Uppsatsen undersöker EU:s åtgärder mot penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism (AML-direktiven) och dess förenlighet med rätten till privatliv och dataskyddsregler. Då långtgående befogenheter att behandla personuppgifter för brottsprevention och upptäckande av penningtvätt traditionellt sätt har tillhört brottsbekämpande verksamhet ställer uppsatsen frågan huruvida AML-direktiven ger befogenheThe thesis explores the EU’s anti-money laundering framework’s compatibility with conditions required under privacy rights. It asks the question whether the anti-money laundering framework confers obligations to private entities and other actors not belonging to law enforcement in a way which risks violation to the fundamental rights to privacy and data protection. The thesis elucidates the signif

Constructing Subalgebras of K[x] Using the Minimal Polynomial

In this report we will be working with subalgebras A of finite codimension in K[x]. It is known that such subalgebras can be expressed using a set of linear conditions evaluated at a finite set of points called the spectrum elements of A. These conditions are of one of two types, equality conditions or α-derivations, which in turn consists of the values and the values of the derivations of the ele

The Examination of Alternative Methods for Sperm Cell Lysis and Purification of Sexual Assault Samples

Forensic sexual assault samples typically contain a mixture of a small quantity of sperm cells and a high quantity of epithelial cells. This relationship complicates the generation of a DNA profile, which prompts the need for differential lysis and extraction of the DNA. Differential extraction is a lengthy method that includes multiple tube transfers and requires a purification step. Amicon Ultra

Doing PAX Things: Swedish 3rd Grade Students’ Feelings and Attitudes Towards Participation in PAX Good Behavior Game

PAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG) är en skolbaserad intervention som har visats öka elevers självreglering, främja prosociala beteenden och hämma utmanande beteenden. Det finns dock begränsad kunskap kring hur deltagande elever känner inför interventionen. Vi genomförde semistrukturerade intervjuer och enkätundersökningar med elever i 3:e klass i Sverige för att undersöka deras känslor kring och atPAX Good Behavior Game (PAX-GBG) is a school-based intervention which has been shown to increase student’s self-regulation, promote prosocial behaviors, and inhibit challenging behaviors. However, little is known about how participating students feel about the intervention. In this study, we conducted semi-structured interviews and surveys with 3rd grade students in Sweden to examine their feeling

Scenariohantering med parametrisk design i planeringsprocessen

I takt med en ökande befolkningsmängd och den pågående digitaliseringsprocessen, finns det ett behov av en effektiv planeringsprocess. I Sverige finns det både nationella och internationella mål som berör detta. Detaljplaner är ett viktigt verktyg för att reglera planeringsprocessen. Vid nybyggnationer och förtätningar av städer krävs det att analyser utförs för att säkerställa att krav på buller,In line with an increasing population and the ongoing digitization process, there is a need for an effective planning process. In Sweden, there are both national and international goals that concern this. Zoning plans are an important tool for regulating the planning process. In the case of new constructions and densification of cities, it is required that analyzes are carried out to ensure that r

Evaluation and merging of multiple gridded surface soil moisture products in Europe using ICOS measurements and triple collocation analysis

Mängden vatten i markens ytskikt, markfuktigheten, är viktig för ekosystem, jordbruk samt vattnets- och kolets kretslopp. Markfuktighet är även en indikator för torka och eftersom extremt väder ökar på grund av de globala klimatförändringarna läggs allt mer resurser på dess övervakning. Övervakning av markfuktighet görs vanligen antingen via punktbaserad mätning direkt i marken eller via satellitSurface soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable that plays a key role in ecosystems and the energy, water, and carbon cycles. SM can be accurately measured using in situ measurements. However, these measurements are globally not densely located over large areas, which would be required for accurate large-scale SM estimation due to the high spatial variability of SM. Instead, global atm

The effects of covid-19 and the war in Ukraine on portfolio composition
