Moraxella catarrhalis, a gram negative bacterium has the rare ability to bind to immunoglobulins without inducing an immunological response. M. catarrhalis is known to cause several respiratory tract infections, such as otitis media, sinusitis and it can elevate symptoms of COPD. The immunoglobulin D (IgD)-binding protein of M. catarrhalis is a 200 kDa outer membrane autotransporter capable of bin

Barns besök på en barnakutmottagning kan vara en skrämmande och stressande upplevelse där undersökningar/åtgärder kan skapa rädsla, oro och smärta hos barnet. Syftet var att beskriva barns rädsla, oro och smärta i samband med undersökning/åtgärd på barnakut-/akutmottagningen samt undersöka om barn erhöll information före undersökning/åtgärd. Metoden var av kvantitativ jämförande design. Urval gjor

Nya versioner av gamla anticancer läkemedel Varje år dör miljontals av människor av olika typer av cancer runt om i världen. Cancer kan behandlas på olika sätt, och en av de vanligaste behandlingsmetoderna är kemoterapi. Antracykliner är idag några av de mest använda och mest effektiva kemoterapeutiska läkemedel som finns. De första antracyklinerna, daunorubicin och doxorubicin, isolerades på 1960Fast and convenient synthesis of a daunosamine thioglycoside donor and the aromatic O-glycosylation with simple phenols Anthracyclines are currently some of the most widely used and most effective chemotherapeutic agents. Since the first isolation of daunorubicin and doxorubicin, a large number of semi-synthetic anthracycline analogues have been synthesized. However, there are no reports of analog

Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka vad elever säger om de didaktiska aspekterna av Våga!. Våga! är ett utbildningskoncept där musikundervisning och sex- och samlevnadsundervisning möts. Konceptet består av tre delar; en humoristisk, pedagogisk musikföreställning om sex och samlevnad, ett samtal kring föreställningen och ett efterarbetesmaterial. Uppsatsen utgår från Arfwedsson och Arfwedssons (1This essay examines what pupils say about the didactical aspects of Våga! (The Swedish word ”didaktik” is to a large extent equivalent to ”curriculum research”. However, in the lack of an exact translation, the word ”didactics” is used in this abstract, knowing that that word has different connotations in English than in Swedish.) Våga! is an educational concept, in which music education and sexua

The purpose of this master thesis is to help a global food packaging corporation, based in southern Sweden, to uncover, define and utilize best practices connected to selling spare parts. The defined best practices will later be implemented in the corporation’s market companies globally. The methodology of the project has been to benchmark organizations with similar type responsibilities and work.

The company that this project takes place at has most of its production facility in Halmstad. A little more than a year ago this plant was exposed to a fire that destroyed the facility completely. The company is now planning to build a new plant on the same spot as the old was situated. Purpose The purpose of this project is to analyse the company´s material flow and based on the result make decis

Studien har visat att orsaken till att kommunernas hållbarhetsredovisningar skiljer sig åt, vad gäller omfattning och innehåll, dels beror på de varierande resurserna kommunerna innehar. Både varierande mängd resurser vad gäller ekonomiska och tidsmässiga som utrymmesmässiga aspekter påverkar. Studien har också visat att det beror på att kommunerna saknar en tvingande kraft som styr hur hållbarhetThe study has shown that the reason to the differences in the municipalities’ sustainability reports, in extent and content, partly depends on the variances in resources in each of the municipality. Both variances in the amount of resources in terms economy and time as well as space-related aspects affects. The study has also shown that this is because the municipalities lack a compelling force th

This master’s thesis deals with the current situation of World literature in a French perspective. It elaborates how theoretical and critical contributions surrounding the polemic Manifeste pour une littérature-monde en français, signed by 44 writers and published in Le Monde 2007, in essence point toward a critique of La Francophonie and French universalism, and also toward a reconfiguration of t

This bachelor thesis on entanglement in nano systems includes a short presen-tation of the history of quantum mechanics before entanglement takes the spot light. A definition of entanglement will be stated as well as a prescription to quantify it for a pure system. The knowledge will then be used to quantify the entanglement for the ground state of few particle systems containing 2, 3 and 4 particl

This thesis concerns itself with relative primality of integers. It uses the concept of totatives, that is, integers relatively prime to a fixed number n, to investigate the distribution and products of those integers. The thesis presents two sufficient conditions for uniform distribution of totatives, a composite analogy of Wilson's theorem, and some results on partial products, including suf

I was interested in the impact that brand values have on design and vice versa. So I created this project to explore what the outcome of a product design would be when designing from the brand values. The brand chosen to work with is Swedish outdoor brand Fjällräven. And the work was conducted by first doing research about the brand, what values they project and what values that are perceived by

This report is a master thesis authored at Lund University. The objective is to further develop a method for mapping organizations which are crucial for a society's capability to function. Primarily the method is intended for use in dependency analyses. The work is conducted from a flow-based perspective where dependencies and influences between actors are connected through flows.

Föreliggande studie har undersökt implementering av terapeuters erhållna kunskaper efter att ha genomgått vidareutbildning i biologisk traumabehandling, som är en utbildning för behandling av trauma med utgångspunkt i kroppen. Två frågeställningar har studerats: 1) Vilket kunskapsinnehåll och vilka kunskapsformer står i fokus när terapeuterna reflekterar över sin praktik i biologisk traumabehandliThe purpose of this study is to examine the implementation of knowledge acquired by therapists after having taking part in a further education course of biological trauma treatment, which aimed at using the body as a starting point for trauma treatment. Two issues have been studied: 1)What content of knowledge and what forms of knowledge have the therapists reflected about in their practice of bio

Tractography is a visualization technique which reconstructs and models neural fibers in the white matter of the brain based on data from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging. It is already used locally to model parts of dominant fiber pathways but global methods are also emerging which aim to reconstruct all the brain fibers simultaneously. In this thesis we have attempted to improve the current
