Nanoparticles have gained considerable attention in the last decades, especially in the medical field. The nanoparticles could enter our bodies from anywhere in the surrounding environment and interact with objects in our biological fluids. However, there is little knowledge about this process. The protein competes for the nanoparticle's surface area, forming “corona” made of different protein
Online sexual activities (OSA) are any sexual behaviours done using the Internet and are divided into non-arousal, partnered-arousal, and solitary-arousal activities. The means of accessing the Internet have extended past the traditional home computer and the rapid evolution of personal digital devices has lead to a lag in the measurement of OSA. There is also little understanding of the underlyin
During the 90’s intersex individuals was found among fish downstream sewage treatment plants, this was found to be due to estrogens in the water. Today we know that one of the largest contributors of the effects on fish is 17a-ethinylestradiol (EE2). EE2 is a synthetic estrogen used in contraceptive pills and is one of the most used pharmaceuticals in the world. In addition to intersex EE2 also ge

Six qualitative interviews have been conducted with counselors in psychiatri
Family policies, including but not limited to the expansion of formal childcare, are often introduced to facilitate the combination of family care responsibilities and paid labour market participation. While a few studies do not yield evidence of a causal relationship, a large body of literature agrees on the relationship between childcare and maternal employment. Thus, this thesis analyses the ef
Hållbarhet har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse, då den globala uppvärmningen utgör en av vår tids största utmaningar. Fastighets- och byggsektorn står totalt för 40% av den totala energikonsumtionen i Europa. EU arbetar aktivt för att minska energiförbrukningen i byggnader genom direktivet om byggnaders energiprestanda (EPBD). Det långsiktiga målet med direktivet är att unionenSustainability has become increasingly important in recent years as global warming continues to be the most serious threat to our environment. The real estate sector accounts for 40 percent of the total energy consumption in Europe. To address this issue, the European Union initiated the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), which aims to reduce energy consumption and achieve a fully d
Six-membered cyclic carbonates are potential monomers for phosgene and/or isocyanate free polycarbonates and polyurethanes via ring-opening polymerization. A two-step process for their synthesis comprising lipase-catalyzed transesterificationofa polyol, trimethylolpropane(TMP) with dimethylcarbonate(DMC)in a solvent-free system followed by thermal cyclization was optimized to improve process effic
The term 'Object Shift' means that a weak object pronoun has been raised to a position to the left of a sentence adverbial. In Swedish, there are mainly two positions to which a weak object pronoun can be raised; one of them is called 'Long Object Shift' or 'LOS'. In this paper, I deal with argument structures in constructions with LOS in Old Swedish. The purpose is to prov

Instagramupploppen 2012 som en sorts uppmärksamhetskulmen. Inget svenskt samlingsnamn som passar i alla dylika sammanhang har uppkommit och även om specifika detaljer skiljer sig åt från fall till fall, förefaller ärekränkningar förekomma somThe legal cases concerning unwanted online publishing of private material have experienced a significant rise in the last few years peaking around 2012 in Sweden, with initial assiduities around the issue being brought about by the “Instagram riots”. Up to this day, there is yet to be a collective term to entirely encompass these cases, and although the specific details differ between each case, t
Pseudo-guaianolides represent a large group of sesquiterpene lactones exhibiting significant cytotoxic and anti-inflammatory activities. Their biological activities are due to a 훼-methylene-훾-lactone unit in their chemical structure, which reacts with free sulfhydryl groups of free cysteine via a Michael-addition. Damsin is a major pseudo guaianolide found in Ambrosia arborescens Mill., a plant di
