Abstract:
Non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) is the most common human cancer worldwide. Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC) make up almost all NMSC. SCC usually arises from actinic keratosis (AK) as a result of exposure to sunlight. SCC and AK provide a useful clinical model to investigate changes involved in the progression of NMSC. This project examines the expression of Brm, Brg-1, Snail 1 and Snail 2 in the progression of NMSC. Brm and Brg-1 are subunits of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodelling complex which is involved in regulating the access of cell machinery to DNA by altering the structure of chromatin. It has been suggested that loss of this function is involved in carcinogenesis as the cell is unable to access to DNA normally in order to repair mutations or activate apoptosis. The loss of Brm or Brg-1 has been described in several human cancers. Snail 1 and Snail 2 are zinc-finger transcription factors that are known for their role in epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process vital to embryological development. Increased expression of these factors leads to a loss of cell-cell adhesion and a migratory phenotype and has been described in some human cancers. In this project, double-label immunohistochemistry was used to determine the relative expression of these proteins in human SCC, BCC, AK and normal skin. The expression of Snail was unable to be determined due to poor specificity of the antibodies used. The expression of both Brm and Brg-1 proteins was found to be dramatically and consistently decreased in SCC and BCC when compared to normal skin and AK. This loss of Brm and Brg-1 occured as the tumour progressed from benign AK to malignant SCC. This finding suggests that the loss of either Brm or Brg-1 constitutes a key step in carcinogenesis. The results of this study identify Brm and Brg-1 as putative tumour suppressors involved in the progression of non-melanoma skin cancer from benign to malignant.

Abstract:
This paper deals with hill-forts located on and directly south of Selaön, in the center of Mälardalen, Södermanland, dated to the late roman period and the migration period. Of special interest is differences and similarities between the forts when it comes to their morphology and the hills where they were built. Furthermore, their landscape has been examined and I have tried to put the hill-forts in relation to any iron age settlements.

The majority of mineral fertilizers used in Brazil are sold in the form of granules mixture in order to provide, lower storage and transportation costs, lower probability of hardening, easier handling and also to simplify its use. Despite the advantages mentioned, such mixtures, which might present two or three primary macronutrients, secondary macronutrients and micronutrients, must have these nutrients uniformly distributed, so that the distribution in the field is homogeneous. However, in this kind of mixture some problems of heterogeneity might occur due to the segregation of granules, which might result in segregation of nutrients that will produce irregular application. The segregation is worrying concerning the application of the fertilizer as well as the sampling by the inspector, once it might generate analysis result that does not match the product real composition. The volume of fertilizers in a Big Bag makes it impossible for the inspector to homogenize the product prior to sampling, as required by law, in the case of smaller packets, thus requiring its own sampling methodology. Therefore, with the aim of evaluating the segregation of fertilizers and determining a sampling methodology for the Big Bag packaging, a study was developed, based on two formulas 02-30-10 and 12-15-15 distributed into four Big Bags each. Three sampling at three different times were carried out. The first was performed soon after packaging, the second, after the Big Bags had been transported on a truck for 407 km and the last after 696 km, both on dirty road and on asphalt. A conic tip double tube steering steel probe, for the sampling of five distinct horizontal levels, five vertical, one in the middle and one in each corner of the packet as well as one diagonal, which went through granulometric and chemical analysis individually. One compound sample was produced by pushing the probe vertically at three distinct points, and later on adding to the four packets portions for analysis. The results of granulometric and chemical analysis , at several points of sampling carried out in the vertical, horizontal e diagonal as well as the compound, after packaging and transportation of the Big Bags, in both formulas studied, show that if a grain mixture fertilizer is produced with raw-material with granules of homogeneous size, within the variation of SGN ± 5%, it presents fewer segregation problems regardless the sampling points mentioned, according to what happened to the formula 12-15-15, and the use of certain raw-material with granules which are incompatible to the other components in the mixture, lead to condenation of the product both chemically and granulometrically, according to what happened to the formula 02-30-10. The compound sample method proved itself efficient despite failing the granulometric analysis of the formula 02-30-10 (after packaging and transportation for 696 km), due to greater amount, size and round format of the triple superphosphate granules (TSP).
Os fertilizantes minerais utilizados no Brasil são em sua grande maioria comercializados na forma de misturas de grânulos por propiciar, menores custos de armazenamento e transporte, além de apresentarem menor possibilidade de empedramento, maior facilidade de manuseio, simplificando a sua aplicação. Apesar das vantagens citadas, estas misturas, que podem apresentar dois ou três macronutrientes primários, macronutrientes secundários e micronutrientes, é de fundamental importância que os nutrientes estejam uniformemente distribuídos em todo o seu volume, para que haja uma distribuição homogênea na área de cultivo. Contudo, neste tipo de mistura podem ocorrer problemas de heterogeneidade pela segregação dos grânulos que também resultará na separação dos nutrientes, ocasionando uma aplicação irregular. A segregação é preocupante tanto do ponto de vista da aplicação do fertilizante, quanto do momento da amostragem por parte da fiscalização, podendo obter um resultado de análise que não corresponde à realidade da composição do produto. O volume de fertilizantes acondicionado em embalagem Big Bag impossibilita aos fiscais a homogeneização do produto previamente à amostragem, como é estabelecido pela legislação, no caso de embalagens menores, necessitando, portanto de uma metodologia de amostragem apropriada. Diante destes fatos, com o objetivo de avaliar a segregação de fertilizantes e determinar uma metodologia de amostragem para embalagem tipo Big Bag foi desenvolvido um estudo com duas fórmulas 02-30-10 e 12-15-15 acondicionadas em quatro Big Bag cada uma. Foram estabelecidas amostragens em três momentos distintos, sendo uma logo após o envase, outra após os Big Bags terem sido transportados em caminhão por 407 Km e a última após completar 696 Km, realizados em estradas de asfalto e de terra. Foi utilizada uma sonda de aço inox cano duplo com ponta cônica, para amostragem de cinco níveis distintos na horizontal, cinco no sentido vertical, uma no centro e em cada um dos cantos da embalagem e uma na diagonal, as quais individualmente foram acondicionadas para análise química e granulométrica. Retirou-se também uma amostra composta, que foi feita inserindo verticalmente a sonda em cada Big Bag em três pontos distintos, e depois foram juntadas as porções das quatro embalagens para a realização das análises. Os resultados das análises químicas e de granulometria, nos vários pontos de amostragens realizados na vertical, horizontal, diagonal, e composta, após o envase e os transportes dos Big Bag, nas duas fórmulas pesquisadas, nos indicam que se um fertilizante mistura de grânulos for elaborado com matérias-primas com grânulos de tamanhos homogêneos, dentro da variação de ± 5% do SGN, apresentam menores problemas de segregação independente dos pontos de amostragens citados, conforme o ocorrido com a fórmula 12-15-15, e o uso de determinada matéria-prima com grânulos incompatíveis aos demais componentes da mistura, levam à condenação do produto tanto química quanto granulometricamente, conforme o ocorrido com a fórmula 02- 30-10. O método de amostra composta mostrou ser eficiente apesar da reprovação granulométrica da formulação 02-30-10 (após envase e transporte de 696 km), fato justificado pela maior quantidade, tamanho e formato arredondado dos grânulos do superfosfato triplo (TSP).

A compra por impulso acontece sem reflexão, espontaneamente, e pode ter vários antecedentes. O objetivo desta dissertação foi testar o poder preditivo dos cinco grandes fatores de personalidade sobre a compra por impulso. Para tanto, realizaram-se dois estudos em que 1296 brasileiros, de todos os estados da federação, responderam a um questionário via internet. O estudo 1 teve o objetivo de buscar evidências de validade de um instrumento para aferir a tendência de comprar impulsivamente. Foram encontradas correlações positivas entre a tendência de comprar por impulso, a influência social normativa e traços de impulsividade do consumidor. O instrumento também foi capaz de diferenciar pessoas que fazem lista de compras das que não fazem, e pessoas que preferem ir às compras sozinhas das que preferem comprar acompanhadas. As evidências encontradas suportam o uso do instrumento para o contexto brasileiro. No segundo estudo, foi realizada uma regressão linear múltipla para testar se personalidade e influência social prediriam a compra por impulso. As variáveis investigadas explicaram 23 por cento da variância da compra por impulso. Entre preditores significativos positivos destacaram-se a influência social normativa e o fator de Neuroticismo de personalidade; entre os negativos, destacaram-se o hábito de fazer lista de compra e o fator Conscienciosidade de personalidade. Os resultados confirmam o poder preditivo de fatores de personalidade, influência social e hábitos de consumo sobre o comportamento de compra por impulso. Este estudo aprofunda os achados psicológicos sobre comportamentos de compra, alavancando a disseminação do conhecimento tanto para pesquisadores, quanto para profissionais interessados no tema.
The aim of this study was to test the predictive power of the big five factors of personality on impulse buying. In addition, sexual differences were verified for impulse buying behavior and levels of susceptibility to social influence, as well as relations of purchase with sociodemographic variables and consumption habits. Participants were 1296 Brazilians. The model tested explained 23 percent of the variance of impulse buying, the higher predictive powers were for normative influence and neuroticism, as positive; followed by the habit of making shopping list and conscientiousness, as negative predictors. The results confirm the predictive power of personality factors, consumption habits and socio-demographic variables on impulse buying.

Abstract:
Byggnadsrelaterad ohälsa (BRO) är en av flera miljökänsligheter. De två konstrukten modern hälsooro (MHO) och somatosensorisk förstärkning (SSA) har båda visat sig kopplade till nocebo och de uppvisas ofta hos personer med miljökänsligheter. Det första syftet med uppsatsen var att öka förståelsen för vilka symtom som kännetecknar BRO, vilket undersöktes via 20 items utvalda från The Idiopathic Enviromental Intolerance Symtom Inventory (IEISI) vilka överensstämmer med WHOs lista över BRO-symtom. Det andra syftet var att öka kunskapen om vilken roll nocebo har i BRO, vilket undersöktes via Modern Health Worries (MHWS) och Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS). Data inhämtades från en pågående studie vid Umeå Universitet. Urvalsgruppen utgjordes av 79 individer som uppgett att de upplevde BRO-symtom varje vecka. Data analyserades via korrelationsanalyser. Gruppen uppvisade variation i vilka och hur många symtom individerna rapporterade. Resultatet från korrelationsanalyserna visade sammantaget på att nocebo inte hade en betydande roll i rapporterandet av BRO-symtom i urvalsgruppen. Studien visade att gruppen med BROpatienter varken oroade sig mer än norm eller var särskilt känsliga för sensoriska intryck.
Building Related Illness (BRI) is one of several environmental sensitivities. The two constructs Modern Health Worries (MHW) and Somatosensory Amplification (SSA) have both been shown to be linked to nocebo and are often reported by people with environmental sensitivities. The first purpose of this paper was to increase the understanding of symptoms that characterize BRI, which was investigated via 20 items selected from The Idiopathic Enviromental Intolerance Symptom Inventory (IEISI) that complies with WHO's list of BRI symptoms. The second purpose was to increase knowledge about the role of nocebo in BRI, which was investigated via Modern Health Worries Scale (MHWS) and Somatosensory Amplification Scale (SSAS). Data was obtained from an ongoing study at Umeå University. The sample consisted of 79 individuals who reported that they experienced BRI symptoms each week. Data was analyzed via correlation analyzes. The group showed variability concerning which and how many symptoms the individuals reported. The results from the correlation analyzes showed that nocebo did not play a significant role in the reporting of BRI symptoms in the selection group. The study showed that the group of BRI patients neither worry more than the norm nor was particularly sensitive to sensory impressions.

SYFTE: Jag har i mitt yrke erfarit att många elever upplever skolan som stressande. Studier

stöder denna iakttagelse och visar att för många tonåringar är skolan den i särklass största

stressfaktorn. Vidare ökar stressrelaterade sjukdomar bland vuxna kraftigt. Detta gav mig en

ide att inom skolans ram försöka agera preventivt och inspirerad av coachning och kognitiv

beteendeterapi satte jag samman en kurs. Här undersökte jag huruvida träning i mental

kompetens; kunskap om kroppens känslosystem, språk för känslor, stresshantering och

problemlösningsstrategier, skulle kunna ge elever större känsla av beredskap för att hantera

livet i ett modern komplext samhälle och därmed en högre livskvalitet. METOD: Innan och

efter kursen utvärderades elevernas förmåga att hantera för dem stressiga situationer samt

aktionsberedskap i situationer som kräver handling. Under kursens gång gjordes kontinuerliga

utvärderingar och dessutom genomfördes en muntlig och skriftlig utvärdering vid kursens

slut. Vidare förde jag en personlig loggbok där för mig viktiga iakttagelser noterades.

RESULTAT: Eleverna visade avsevärd förbättring av de undersökta kompetenserna.

Dessutom upplevde så gott som samtliga att kursen behandlat för dem viktiga saker och att de

kände sig psykiskt starkare av kursen. SLUTSATS: Undersökningen visar att det på kort tid

går att avsevärt höja elevers förmågor inom mental kompetens. Skolan bör undersöka

huruvida undervisning i mental kompetens bör ingå i den ordinarie undervisningen.

Abstract:
Os hormônios glicocorticóides (GCs) têm sido amplamente empregados como agentes antiinflamatórios e anti-tumorais. Sua ação ocorre via receptores nucleares (GR) sendo dependente da remodelação da estrutura da cromatina. As proteínas Brm e BRG1, componentes essenciais de um complexo regulador global da transcrição (SWI/SNF), por remodelamento da cromatina, exercem um papel-chave na ação de GR. Para estudar o mecanismo de ação de GCs, foram utilizadas as linhagens celulares ST1 e P7, derivadas da linhagem celular C6, de glioma de rato. P7 é insensível ao tratamento com GC, enquanto ST1 apresenta reversão fenotípica tumoral→normal, gerando um bloqueio específico na fase G1. Um anti-soro policlonal específico para Brm e BRG1, foi gerado através da inoculaçâo de coelha com a proteína hBRG1 recombinante. Este antisoro foi utilizado para análisar os níveis destas proteínas nas duas linhagens celulares, sob ação de GC. Enquanto em ST1, Brm é induzida por GC, em células P7, o nível basal de Brm é relativamente alto, mantendo-se inalterado na presença de GC. A possíbilidade de existirem mutações no gene brm de células P7, foi investigada através de amplificação do DNA, por PCR, e seqüenciamento. A superexpressão de brm e BRG1 em células P7 mostrou que clones isolados apresentavam, de um modo geral, achatamento celular, diminuição da taxa de crescimento e da eficiência de plaqueamento em substrato sólido e semi-sólido. Alguns destes clones passaram a responder ao tratamento com GC, porém não tão drasticamente como as células ST1. Co-imunonoprecipitação mostrou algumas diferenças entre os complexos SWI/SNF de células ST1 e P7.
Glucocorticoid hormones (GCs) have been used as anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor agents, acting via nuclear receptors (GR) and being dependent on remodeling of the chromatin structure. As components of the global chromatin remodeling transcription complex (SWI/SNF), Brm and BRG-1 proteins play a key role in the action of GR. In order to study the mechanisms of action of GCs, we have been using the ST1 and P7 cell lines, derived from the C6, a rat glioma cell line. P7 is insensitive to the GC treatment, while ST1 displays a complete phenotypic reversion from tumoral to normal, including a G1-specific block in the cell cycle. A Brm and BRG1-specific polyclonal antiserum was generated, in rabbit, using recombinant hBRG1 protein as antigen. This antiserum was used to analyze the levels of Brm and BRG1 in these two cell lines, under GC treatment. While Brm is induced by GC, in ST1 cells, the basal level of Brm, in P7 cells, is relatively high, remaining unchanged under GC treatment. The possibility of brm mutations occurring in the P7 cells, was analyzed by DNA sequencing. Overexpression of brm and BRG1 in P7 cells led to morphological alterations (cell flattening) and decreased colony formation in agarose suspension and in solid substrate. Some of these clones became partially responsive to GC, when compared to the ST1 cell line. Co-immunoprecipitation assays revealed some differences in the SWI/SNF complex between ST1 and P7 cells.

Full text
Abstract:
Remote sensing of gas effluents in the mid-IR wavelength region from 2 microns to 5 microns is preferred due to strong molecular absorption features (10 to 100 times stronger than in the near-IR) and high-transparency atmospheric windows. Currently, long-range mid-IR remote sensing is inhibited by the lack of suitable laser sources. As a result, frequency conversion in nonlinear optical materials has emerged as a powerful method to produce high-power, tunable, mid-IR light. However, compact, high-power narrowband conversion systems suitable for long-range mid-IR spectroscopy are not commercially available. This thesis describes the development of a high-power, narrowband, tunable, compact, mid-IR laser source for long-range remote sensing of gas effluents. Frequency conversion into the mid-IR is achieved by use of a high-peak-power, compact pump laser and optical parametric generation (OPG) in periodically poled nonlinear crystals. This mid-IR laser system was designed and developed for remote sensing at ranges up to and exceeding 100 m in a compact form factor. Such a laser will fill the current scientific need for a hand-held mid-IR laser source capable of long-range mid-IR spectroscopy. Based on theoretical models and experimental demonstrations a compact mid-IR laser source was developed that emits > 1 mJ broadband pulses in the mid-IR. To narrow the linewidth of the broadband OPG output, optical parametric amplification was demonstrated through seeding of the OPG process with a narrowband, continuous-wave, distributed feedback (DFB) laser. Seeding efficiencies exceeding 35% were demonstrated for 1 mJ of output energy, and efficiencies exceeding 65% were demonstrated at lower energies when the pump beam was spatially filtered. The linewidth of the narrowed mid- IR output was inferred to be < 350 MHz based upon heterodyne measurements conducted at the signal wavelength in the near-IR. This linewidth is well within the FWHM bandwidth of typical mid-IR atmospherically broadened molecular absorption features. The demonstrated mid-IR energies and laser linewidths are predicted to be sufficient for detection of low concentration gas effluents (< 1 ppm) at ranges exceeding 100 m. The developed mid-IR laser source was used to successfully demonstrate differential detection of carbon dioxide (CO 2).

Abstract:
The stories in this collection reflect the absurdities of contemporary American family life, and the particularly distressing economic conditions of the present moment. These stories often employ absurdist elements. Because of the personal history that informs my work, realism does not seem an appropriate form for me. My oldest son, in whom my emotional well-being is heavily invested, is autistic. He is not “normal"? in a way that others would understand as “normal."? Parenting a child with special needs changes the way a marriage operates, deforming it. The personal experience that drives these stories often seems fantastical even to me. I don’t write about my personal experiences, but I write about the impressions that those experiences make upon me. In this way, my work is descriptive rather than didactic.

Raman spectra of these crystals after immersing in liquid bromine exhibits lines with frequencies identified as been due to the compounds KBr3 and IBr, to the alotrophics forms 79Br - 79Br, 79Br- 81Br and 81Br - 81Br and to the ions Br3- and Br5-. -Raman spectra of highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) intercalated with Br2 were also investigated. The stage number found was n=2, evidenced by the intense peak in w0 = 244 cm-1 and by its harmonics 2w0, 3w0, ... . Minor structures were also observed in the spectral region dominated by the solid bromine

Abstract:
Title: School in Change : Good Grades = Good Democrat?   Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Political Science   Author: Marcos Castro Allende   Supervisor: Per Strömblad   Date: 2013 – May   Aim: The background to this study is a book published by Staffan. I Lindberg & Richard Svensson where they presented a hypothesis that the decline in trusting democracy within Swedish youth is a result of the deregulation of the education in Sweden. The aim of this study is to test this hypothesis and see if the declinne in democracy can be seen already before graduating from elementary school.   Method: The method used in this study consist of a survey distributed to students at two elementary schools that differentiates in question of grades and social status. By comparing and analyzing the results of this survey with the claims of the hypothesis, former studies and Lipsets theory of the working-class authoritarism a conclusion is made of the hypothesis credibility.   Result & Conclusions: The results showed that there may be a a difference trusting democracy between students with higher grades and those with lower grades. The result also showed that there is a difference in trusting politicans, a claim that was of great importance for the hypothesis. Therefore further research must be done to address this anti-hypothesis factor.   Contribution of the thesis: This study can, inspite its minor scale, contribute with a little more specific material for proving Lindberg & Svenssons hypothesis and also be used as a help to further research in the issues between school quality and trust in democracy.

Synen på vad som är bäst för barnet då modern sitter på anstalt har förändrats. Det har visat sig att det bästa för barnet i många fall är att stanna hos sin moder trots fängelsevistelse, snarare än att separeras och placeras i fosterhem vilket tidigare varit den rådande uppfattningen. Mitt förslag är ett ställningstagande i en nu rådande het debatt.

Abstract:
Tidigare forskning har entydigt visat på att ett ökat förtroende hos kunder i köpsituationer ökar deras vilja att genomföra köp. Vilka faktorer som påverkar kunders förtroende har även det undersökts flitigt och faktorer som kan kopplas till hantering av kunders data tas allt oftare upp som avgörande. Dock behandlas dessa faktorer många gånger på ett övergripande plan och studier som djupdyker i vilka underliggande faktorer kopplat till datahantering som påverkar kunders förtroende saknas. Genom att samla in kvantitativ data om hur kunder förhåller sig till företags insamling och användande av big data, deras förtroende för e-handelsföretag, samt deras vilja att genomföra köp online ämnar denna studie till att besvara syftet att undersöka effekten av företags insamling och användande av big data på kunders förtroende för företag inom e-handel, samt att undersöka effekten av kunders förtroende på deras vilja att genomföra köp. Studiens resultat visar att företags insamling av big data har en signifikant negativ effekt på kundernas förtroende, samt att kunders förtroende har ett signifikant positivt samband med kunders köpintention. Gällande företags användande av big data kunde däremot inte en signifikant negativ effekt på kundernas förtroende påvisas.

Abstract:
La empresa objeto de estudio no presentaba una estructura de costos que le permita conocer y analizar el costo real de sus productos. El presente trabajo de investigación respondió a la necesidad de diseñar un sistema de costeo por órdenes para la toma de decisiones operativas en la empresa Big Bag Perú S.A.C., Chiclayo 2018. Se trabajó bajo el enfoque mixto, de tipo aplicado, bajo un nivel explicativo y un diseño no experimental/transversal, usando como técnicas para recolección de datos la entrevista, donde el instrumento aplicado fue la Guía de entrevista, asimismo se utilizó la técnica de la observación, donde los instrumentos aplicados fueron la Ficha de observación y el Análisis documental. Después de un análisis del proceso productivo y de costeo de la empresa, se elaboró un sistema de costos por órdenes para identificar costos reales de materia prima, mano de obra y carga fabril, se compararon ambos sistemas y se halló el punto de equilibro. Llegando a la conclusión, que al aplicar el sistema propuesto se podría generar una utilidad menor a la esperada, pero con una correcta identificación de los costos incurridos y un conocimiento real de cuantas unidades como mínimo debe vender para no ganar ni perder, mejorando de esta manera las decisiones operativas en la entidad.

Abstract:
Por mucho tiempo, las bolsas de plástico fueron útiles para muchos consumidores, siendo más fáciles para ellos adquirirlas de manera gratuita en los supermercados, mercados, bodegas y diversos establecimientos. Sin embargo, a partir de la promulgación de la Ley N° 30884, hizo que cada persona sea responsable de portar una bolsa para llevar sus productos o caso contrario podría comprarla en el establecimiento en que se encuentra. Partiendo de esta premisa y analizando las necesidades generadas en el mercado, nace “KEYBAG”, un llavero-bolsa diseñado para aquellas compras que no están planificadas, dando la oportunidad de llevarla siempre con el consumidor. Este llavero armable contiene una bolsa de tela reforzada en su interior con otra tela antifluido, que ayudará a proteger los productos, mantenerlos en orden y reusarla en diversas compras. Nuestro tentador proyecto tiene como periodo 5 años, requiere una inversión inicial de S/ 28,005.53 y con el análisis financiero se determinó que el financiamiento externo sea de S/ 11,202.21 y al periodo total del proyecto. Asimismo, el retorno de la inversión sería al primer año de iniciada las actividades comerciales. Finalmente, guiándonos de la tendencia actual por el consumo responsable se emplearan materiales eco amigables y resistentes, lo que hace que KeyBag sea un producto que genere impacto positivo en el medio ambiente.
For many time, plastic bags had been helpful for the costumers, many of them were got for free in every supermarket and shops. However, Nowadays there is the Law N° 30884, which made every customer have a bag to carry their products, otherwise the customer could buy a bag at the supermarket or shop they are at the moment. That is the moment when our project is born, “KEYBAG”, is a key chain bag which is designed for not planned shopping, it gives you the advantage to have a bag in your key chain, it has a thermic cloth bag which protects your products and the environment, it also allows you to organize your products, and use it to go shopping o buy you products many times. Our tempting project has an estimated time of 5 years, requires an initial investment of S/. 28005.53 and after the financial analysis it determined that the external financing S/ 11,202.21, and to the end of the project. Also, the return of investment would be a year after the commercial activities start. Finally, following the current trend about the responsible consumption we are using eco-friendly and resistant materials, what makes KeyBag a product that generates a positive impact for the environment.

Abstract:
I ett allt mer stressat samhälle vill jag skapa bostäder som blir en lugn plats i vardagen. Jag vill leka med konceptet där naturen möter staden och erbjuda ett boende där möjligheten till att ta en kaffe på ett fik några trappor ner är lika nära som en lugn promenad i naturen. Jag vill ge chansen att gå ut direkt i skogen eller njuta av naturens fördelar från den egna balkongen.  Alla val i projektet, så som planernas utformning, fasadens estetik och val av material har utgått från naturen. Planerna ger varje lägenhet oavsett storlek samma möjligheter att ta del av naturen utanför. Varje lägenhet får varsin balkong och fönsternisch med samma mått för att öppna upp mot skogen. Balkongerna förses med vikdörrar för möjlighet att öppna upp hela glaspartiet och tänja på gränsen mellan ute och inne.  Fasaderna speglar omgivningen. Fasaden mot skogen spelar naturens lekfullhet och öppnar upp med stora fönster i de sociala ytorna. Fönsternischer och balkonger placeras omlott för  skapa en rörelse i fasaden och ge varje balkong avskildhet mot grannar. Fasaden mot gatan speglar istället gatans strikta struktur med mindre fönster och raka enkla linjer.
My project aims to create calm place to live in the stressful society of today. I want to play with the concept where the city street meets nature and precent a living space where the opportunity to grab a coffee in a café a few stories down is as close as a calm walk in the woods. My project creates a home where nature is close, both inside and outside.  Every decision I made in this project is made in consideration of the surrounding nature. Everything from plans, the esthetics of the fasades and the decisions on what materials to work with. All the apartments are given an equally sized balcony and window facing the forest even if the apartment varies in size to give everyone the same opportunity to be close to nature. The balconies have folding doors to make it possible to open up the wall and loosen the line between inside and outside.  The facade facing the street mimics the strict structure of the road with smaller windows and straight lines. The facade facing the forest mirrors the playfulness of nature. The balconies and windows are stacked in a pattern to make a movement in the facade and to create privacy for the balconies.

Vi berör även centrala styrdokument samt andra sociala påverkansfaktorer på yrket.SyfteDenna studie avser att öka förståelsen för vilka förväntningar som matematiklärare möter. Har elever, vårdnadshavare, matematiklärare och skolledare samma syn på vad en god matematiklärare är?MetodArbetet är en kvantitativ studie och som redskap användes en enkätundersökning. Enkäten genomfördes med elever i årskurs 8 och 9 och deras vårdnadshavare samt matematiklärare och skolledare.ResultatResultatet visar att undersökningens fyra grupper; elever, vårdnadshavare, matematiklärare och skolledare, har en förhållandevis samstämmig syn på vad som gör en bra matematiklärare bra. Denna samstämmighet mellan grupperna kan förklaras genom att bilden på ”Den goda matematikläraren” inte enbart är en individuell åsikt utan den skapas i det sociala samspelet med andra individer och grupper. Bilden på ”Den goda matematikläraren” skapas inte bara inom skolans värld utan påverkas också av historien och politiska svängningar. Dessutom befästs bilden av rapportering i media.

Le, Loarer François. "Dérégulation du complexe BAF dans les sarcomes épithélioïdes et leur variants génétiques." Thesis, Lyon 1, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015LYO10127.

Full text
Abstract:
Les sarcomes épithélioides sont caractérisés dans 85% des cas par une perte d'expression nucléaire de la protéine SMARCB1, codée par un gène suppresseur de tumeurs situés en 22q11 impliqué dans la génèse des tumeurs rhabdoides malignes. L'exploration par BAC-FISH (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome- Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) d'une série de 40 sarcomes épithélioides a permis d'établir que cette perte d'expression était secondaire dans 85% des cas à des délétions homozygotes et a mis en évidence le premier cas de sarcome épithélioide associé à une délétion germinale de SMARCB1, altération jusqu'alors uniquement identifiée dans les tumeurs rhabdoides malignes. Nous avons par la suite testé le gène suppresseur de tumeurs SMARCA4 comme gène candidat impliqué dans les sarcomes épithélioides SMARCB1-conservés à partir d'une série rétrospective de 16 cas. SMARCA4 code la sous-unité ATPase du complexe BAF dont SMARCB1 représente une sous unité. Ce screening initial a permis d'identifier 6 cas de sarcomes SMARCA4-inactivés dont la localisation était exclusivement thoracique et dont les caractéristiques clinique et anatomopathologique stéréotypées ont permis le recrutement prospectif et rétrospectif de nouveaux cas. L'étude par RNA-sequencing d'une fraction de notre cohorte (n=13/19) a confirmé leur homogénéité transcriptomique et souligné leur parenté avec les tumeurs rhabdoides SMARCB1 et SMARCA4 déficientes. L'absence de mutation germinale fréquente (n=1/11) a fait proposer le terme de sarcome thoracique SMARCA4-déficient (SMARCA4-DTS) en proscrivant l'utilisation du qualificatif « rhabdoide ». La parenté transcriptomique de ces tumeurs laisse entrevoir des vulnérabilités thérapeutiques communes qui restent à identifier
Epithelioid sarcomas (ES) display loss of SMARCB1 nuclear expression in 85% of cases. SMARCB1 is encoded by a tumor suppressor gene located in 22q11 which was first linked to cancer in malignant rhabdoid tumors. While investigating a series of 40 epithelioid sarcomas with BAC-FISH (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome-Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization), we demonstrated that SMARCB1 loss in ES occurred through genomic deletions in 85% of cases. We were also able to highlight the first case of ES associated with a heterozygous SMARCB1 deletion in the germ line, which feature was previously thought to be restricted to malignant rhadboid tumors (MRT). We subsequently investigated a series of 16 SMARCB1-retained ES to identify its underlying culprit gene with a focus on the candidate tumor suppressor gene SMARCA4. SMARCA4 encodes one of the ATPase subunit of BAF complexes. Interestingly, SMARCB1 is also a core submit of these complexes which regulate chromatin remodeling. We were able to identify a set of 6 cases displaying SMARCA4 inactivation with this discovery cohort. The review of medical records highlighted these cases had similar presentation : all tumors presented with large compressive and aggressive mediastinopulmonary masses. We further recruited 13 cases based on these characteristics including 5 prospective cases. The characterization of their transcriptomes by RNA-sequencing (n=13/19) confirmed their remarkable homogeneity, all our samples clustering together with MRT. However our variant diverge from malignant rhabdoid tumors as it lacks SMARCA4 alteration in the germline (n=0/11) and displays complex polyploidy genetic profiles. We therefore called this new tumor variant “SMARCA4-deficient thoracic sarcoma” (SMARCA4-DTS). The transcriptomic vicinity of SMARCA4-DTS and MRT let foresee they share common therapeutic vulnerabilities

Abstract:
Mot bakgrund av bildämnets centrala innehåll där det tydligt framgår att eleverna ska få tillfälle till att “läsa, skriva och samtala om bilders utformning och budskap” så är denna undersökning baserad på elevers egna kommentarer kring bilder och annan samtida konst.[1]   Denna undersökning har som avsikt att diskutera konst ur ett elevperspektiv. Eleverna har i ett intervjusammanhang fått definiera vad de uppfattar som bra respektive mindre bra bildkonst samt fått chansen att beskriva vad de själva anser att det generella begreppet konst innebär. I samtalen med eleverna så har det diskuterats tekniker, färgval och uttryck, samt ifall det finns hierarkier i dessa element. Empirin har sedan analyserats utifrån ett socialkonstruktionistiskt perspektiv där yttre påverkan så som tradition och trender tas med i beräkningen.   Undersökningens syfte är att få en inblick i elevers förförståelse kring konst för att kritiskt kunna reflektera och göra väl övervägda val i bildundervisningen som känns samtida och med tydlig koppling till den kultur vi upplever utanför skolans diskurs.   Som gestaltande del till detta arbete har jag under intervjuerna låtit eleverna ge mig direktiv om vad för element som bör finnas med för att man ska uppleva en målning som bra, och utifrån dessa direktiv har jag målat en tavla.

Abstract:
In this thesis we present work done in an analysis of models of brane induced gravity. These are higher dimensional generalizations of Einstein's General relativity where our universe is considered as a brane in a higher dimensional bulk and where the gravitational dynamics on the brane is enhanced. This provides a modification of gravity on the brane as compared to ordinary general relativity, primarily at very large distances. These models are therefore very interesting for adressing the cosmological constant problem. Even though the basic setup is natural to consider from the perspective of effective field theory and also follow from certain string theoretical considerations, the models have been plagued by inconsistencies in the form of unstable modes. In particular, a ghostlike and tachyonic scalar mode appears already at the linear level in a perturbative treatment. In order to gain a deeper insight into the nature of these consistency problems we have revisited the models, performing a more extensive analysis of the generic models than has previously been done. We have worked entirely in a gauge invariant formalism in order not to be obscured by gauge issues. We have also incorporated an effective thickness of the brane in our analysis and performed an explicit analysis of the effect of contributions from the extrinsic geometry. Although our analysis has been carried out at the linear level in a perturbative treatment we are able to get a deeper understanding of the unstable mode and illuminate some of the difficulties of these models that would likely persist even in a full nonlinear analysis.

Full text
Abstract:
Bakgrund och problem: Alla börsnoterade företag är, sedan år 2005, tvungna att följa IFRS/IASB riktlinjer för att sammanställa en årsredovisning. IFRS är ett regelverk som tillämpas i alla länder inom Europeiska Unionen. I dessa förpliktelser och riktlinjer finns det kryphål som ger företagen möjlighet till subjektiva bedömningar. De subjektiva bedömningarna ger företagen möjligheten att manipulera redovisningen, detta kallas för Earnings management. I samband med övergången till IFRS medförde det förändringar i hur företagen redovisade. En av förändringarna var att den årliga avskrivningen av goodwill inte längre skulle skrivas av, utan varje år skall företagen göra en prövning om det föreligger ett nedskrivningsbehov av goodwill. Prövningen ger företaget möjlighet att lägga in sina subjektiva bedömningar utifrån eget intresse och därmed kunna manipulera redovisningen. Ett annat sätt att manipulera redovisningen är att redovisa högre avsättningar då företagen förväntar sig ett sämre resultat, för att på så vis inte ha lika stora avsättningar åren därpå och därmed kunna redovisa ett bättre resultat nästkommande år. Studien kommer att undersöka ifall stora nedskrivningar och avsättningar förekommer i samband med att en ny VD träder fram. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka och analysera om Big Bath Accounting förekommer i företag registrerade på Nasdaq OMX Stockholm och Nasdaq OMX Helsinki. Studien fokuserar på att undersöka huruvida det råder ett samband mellan stora engångskostnader och VD-byten samt om det förekommer några skillnader mellan Sverige och Finland. Avgränsningar: Studien avgränsar sig till samtliga företag som är registrerade på Stockholmsbörsen och Helsinkibörsen Large Cap mellan åren 2005-2011. Metod: Undersökningsmetoden som har tillämpats för denna studie har en kvantitativ ansats och har använts sig av sekundär data i form av årsredovisningar. Studiens datainsamling sker med hjälp av tillgänglig information som redan finns elektroniskt på företagens hemsidor. Dessutom har en deduktiv undersökningsansats tillämpats, då studien utgår ifrån teorier som har formats till hypoteser som skall jämföras med data för att kunna komma fram till en slutsats. Ett t-test kommer att användas i studien för att testa hypoteserna som påstår att det finns ett samband mellan VD-byten och nedskrivningar av goodwill och avsättningar till långfristiga skulder. Resultat och slutsatser: T-testet visade att det inte råder ett statistiskt samband mellan VD-byten och nedskrivning av goodwill och avsättningar till långfristiga skulder. Då man bortser från t-testet och tittar närmare på vissa företag kan man se att det förekommer större engångskostnader vid VD-byten än år utan VD-byten, eftersom detta endast förekommer i vissa fall kan man inte dra en generell slutsats i frågan. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Eftersom den insamlade datan visade på vissa likheter mellan Sverige och Finland, båda länderna hade flest VD-byten år 2011 och högst KEK år 2007, skulle det vara intressant att studera om detta är en slump eller om det föreligger något intressant samband. Vidare kan man studera huruvida dessa likheter förekommer mellan alla nordiska länder. Stora nedskrivningar och avsättningar inträffade inte endast vid ett VD-byte utan i vissa fall förekom de även 1-2 år efter att ett VD-byte skett. Vi anser därför att det skulle vara intressant att föra vidare förslaget om att inte endast kolla på året då ett VD-byte skett utan under en längre period.

Abstract:
This essay will focus on the people using and are involved in, and have a large interest in the horror film genre. The purpose of this essay is to find what urge these people to continuously watch horror movies and how they believe to be acknowledge by the society in a modern sense. Our study is mainly based on two separate interviews and therefore, mainly from the users perspective. This essay is also complemented by earlier research on this topic. In context of stigma, violence debate, exclusion we found that the users truly can be found in a rare type of alternative sphere, besides the public sphere. But this is also in relationship with age and gender of the user. Our stands in all this is that horror movies should be accepted as an escape from reality, not a genre that twist people to become violent, and that users can see the difference between reality and fiction and using horror movies should not be considered a deviant behavior in a modern society.

Abstract:
With the explosion in usage of big data, stakes are high for companies to develop workflows that translate the data into business value. Those data transformations are continuously updated and refined in order to meet the evolving business needs, and it is imperative to ensure that a new version of a workflow still produces the correct output. This study focuses on the validation of big data in a real-world scenario, and implements a validation tool that compares two databases that hold the results produced by different versions of a workflow in order to detect and prevent potential unwanted alterations, with row-based and column-based statistics being used to validate the two versions. The tool was shown to provide accurate results in test scenarios, providing leverage to companies that need to validate the outputs of the workflows. In addition, by automating this process, the risk of human error is eliminated, and it has the added benefit of improved speed compared to the more labour-intensive manual alternative. All this allows for a more agile way of performing updates on the data transformation workflows by improving on the turnaround time of the validation process.

Abstract:
Visualisering av data i grafiska presentationer är viktigt inom många olika områden för attenklare förstå information och relationer av insamlad data. Mängden data växer snabbt tillstora skalor som är svåra att hantera och bidrar till nya utmaningar vid visualisering av data igrafiska presentationer. System är beroende av data visualisering för att upptäcka defekteroch fel av produktion. Genom att förbättra prestandan av tidsseriedata visualisering ökar detmöjligheten att upptäcka fel och defekter av produktion.Rapporten tar upp metoder för visualisering av tidsseriedata med snabb prestanda ochdiskuterar hur Big data av multivaribler kan visualiseras med PCA.
Presenting data in graphical forms is important in many different industries in order tounderstand information asset from data that is being collected. The amount of data is growingfast and brings new challenges for visualizing the data in graphical representations. Systemsare dependent on data visualization for detecting defects and faults of productions. Byimproved performance of time series data visualization increases the ability of detectingfaults and defects of productions.This report takes up a methods for visualizing time series data with high velocity in toaccount and discusses how big data of multivariable can be visualized with PCA.

Abstract:
Vårt syfte med detta arbete har varit att undersöka hur samverkan mellan geografiämnet och övriga ämnen i skolan ser ut. Vi har undersökt om lärarens teoretiska definition av och undervisning i geografiämnet har betydelse för i vilken utsträckning detta ämne integreras med övriga skolämnen. I undersökningen har vi använt oss av kvalitativa intervjuer samt, för undersökningen, relevant litteratur. Resultaten visade att en övervägande majoritet av lärarna kan hänföras till en ämnesbunden undervisning, vilken utgår från en traditionsstyrd och begränsad del av geografiämnet, nämligen kulturgeografin. En slutsats av resultaten i undersökningen är att undervisningen i geografi inte svara mot skolans främsta uppgift, att skapa förutsättningar så att eleverna utvecklar kunskaper och färdigheter, för att kunna navigera och agera i sin omvärld.

Abstract:
This master thesis is about Big Data Governance and about software, which is used for this purposes. Because Big Data are huge opportunity and also risk, I wanted to map products which can be easily use for Data Quality and Big Data Governance in one platform. This thesis is not only on theoretical knowledge level, but also evaluates five key products (from my point of view). I defined requirements for every kind of domain and then I set up the weights and points. The main objective is to evaluate software capabilities and compere them.

ABSTRACT

Social Responsible Investments and Corporate Social Responsibility are terms that have become increasingly important in the business world of today. Fund companies have during the last years increased their work with issues such as human rights, environmental impact and business ethics before making an investment. The trend of today is rather to work as active owners and influence companies to change rather than passively excluding certain industries. Other investors whose business idea is to buy, create value and sell companies also use a very active owner strategy but historically focus has been on issues such as industrial development and financial performance and CSR issues have been left out. With this background I came up with the purpose of this study.

The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of if/how investors work with social responsible investments by engaging in corporate social responsibility issues, mainly during the ownership of a company. Further on the study aims to identify the differences between investment companies compared to fund companies when it comes to interest in and promotion of CSR issues as owners. Finally the study intends to create an understanding for the attitudes towards corporate social responsibility and social responsible investments from the investors’ point of view.

I have chosen to study five investors, two fund companies known for their work as active owners by engaging in CSR issues, and three investment companies who all work with engaging in CSR issues to different degrees. To be able to fulfill the purpose I needed deep information about the subject of study and I therefore chose a qualitative method and collected data from semi structured interviews at the investors’ offices in Stockholm. The empirical data was analyzed and interpreted with theories within the area of CSR, SRI and active ownership. The lack of specific theories on active ownership through engagement in CSR issues required the golden middle road as scientific approach since this approach enabled me to interact between theory and empirical reality.

Conclusions to be drawn from this study is that investment companies do not to a great extent work as social responsible investors by engaging in CSR issues. The reason for this is that the investment companies do not perceive that they are responsible but that the responsibility is rather on each of their holding companies. Another reason for not working with CSR issues is because their shareholders do not require them to do so. There is still a great lack of understanding of CSR and its possible connection to financial performance. If the investment company work with CSR it is either due to risk minimizing reasons or pure philanthropic reasons and not at all based on the fact that CSR can lead to innovation and competitive advantage.

The main difference between the fund companies and investment companies is that the fund companies have formalized their work with SRI and engage actively in CSR issues as owners but only in the so called SRI funds which are a significant small part of total invested capital and it is still hard to integrate CSR into the mainstream analysis. The other difference is that investment companies have greater ability to influence its holding companies if compared to the fund companies, and the investment companies use this possibility but mainly in issues such as strategic planning and financial performance and not so much in social or environmental issues.
