The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) is important for adaptive immunity where the MHC molecules bind and present peptides from pathogens to T cells. The peptide binding repertoire of an individual’s MHC molecules determines what pathogens can be recognised by the immune system, and the MHC peptide binding repertoire is therefore under strong selection from pathogens. Parasite and pathogen di
Background: In today’s changing retail landscape, traditional business models are becoming rapidly outdated, signalling the end of traditional retail.

Being self-organizing is a core element of successful Scrum teams. Such teams require a high level of autonomy to perform, yet they operate within the context of an organization and its rules. Scrum teams should decide their work process, what to work on and how to deliver value for customers. The existing literature on Scrum teams investigates the challenges Scrum teams face in their daily life o
Hur landskapet såg ut före etableringen av jordbruket i Europa är av stor betydelse för bevaring av ursprungsvegetationen. I England och Nederländerna har åtgärder gjorts för att främja en naturlig vegetation. Vad som är representativt för en naturlig vegetation är däremot inte självklart bland forskare. Denna uppsats undersöker landskapets öppenhet 9000-6000 år före nutid under den Atlantiska tid
During recent years, the topic of corporate social responsibility has received a lot of attention. Within the field of research, the responsibilities of corporations have been discussed for decades, but no common ground and definition of the concept is in place. In today’s business context where the threat of climate change and other environmental challenges is growing, neither businesses nor cons
Offentlig upphandling utgör en betydande del av Sveriges statsbudget, och det finns en ambition från nationellt håll att öka det strategiska inköpsarbetet rörande offentlig upphandling. Tidigare akademiska studier inom inköp har dock främst fokuserat på privat sektor, och forskning som syftar till att förklara hur och varför olika upphandlande myndigheter arbetar mer eller mindre strategiskt med iA significant portion of the Swedish government budget consists of public procurement, and there is a national ambition to increase the strategic aspect of public procurement. Previous research has mainly focused on the private sector, and there is a lack of research that aims to explain how and why different contracting authorities work more or less strategically with procurement. This study aims
The female child marriage research landscape in Zimbabwe concludes reasons, consequences, and solutions as a means to bring awareness. However, there is an absence in the current literature of an individual perspective focusing on rural females experiences of child marriage and a theoretical contribution that highlights their actions, choices, and understandings before, during and after the marria
With this research I have answered the twofold question of how Cuba played a part in the making of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and what differences and similarities that can be found between the Cuban draft of Human Rights versus the final product of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since there is no previous research in this field I have chosen to look at some of the most
Introduction: Swimming ability provides many known benefits while a lack of ability can result in dire consequences including death. Swimming and water safety are taught in the Swedish school system and increase the likelihood of being able to save oneself and other. Immigrants miss some or all these lessons – a safety concern in addition to a social and integration challenge. The Swedish Lifesavi
The world is in transition. Europe is a Europe of transition. And so is the city; an incomplete, ever-changing and complex construct. While life itself is built upon the concept of change, organic order and vitality, society is currently finding itself struggling not to fall behind time. The Industrial Revolution has led to greater productivity and larger economic turnovers. Developments picked

In this bachelor thesis I have studied the digitalization of fashion journalism and the challenges that they are facing. I have studied the digitalization of fashion journalism through the example of the Swedish magazine Veckorevyn. Veckorevyn decided to quit their print publication earlier this year (2019) with the intention to focus on their digital website veckorevyn.com. The aim with this thes
This study aims to investigate and model statistical properties of Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies. There were recent drastic changes in the level of Bitcoin prices as it moved from $740 in 2014 to $19,187 in 2017, and down to $3,830 in 2018. The current study aims to fill the gap in the analysis of cryptoccurencies, primarily Bitcoin returns statistical process. Specifically, the study s
Floor panels of vehicles are known to radiate structure-borne sound into the vehicle compartment. To reduce the structure-borne sound, numerical models are used in the development of vehicles to evaluate different design options of the vehicle body. The panels are covered with carpets composed of foam and heavy layer of rubber, which causes challenges and complications when predicting interior sou
