   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Self-assembly; micelles; core crystallinity; cyclic polypeptides; electroactivity; redox-responsiveness; triggered dissociation; loading; release; N-carboxyanhydride polymerization; polyesters; poly ε-decalactone ; Självorganisation; miceller; kärnkristallinitet; cykliska polypeptider; elektroaktivitet; tidsberoende dissociation; inkapsling; frisläppning; N-karboxyanhydrid polymerisation; polyestrar; poly ε-dekalakton ; Fiber- och polymervetenskap; Fibre and Polymer Science;

   Abstract : Advancements in drug delivery have enabled a wider array of prevention, control and treatment of diseases such as cancer. Drug delivery systems have the possibility of encapsulating drugs with low solubility, delivering them to specific locations in the body as well as obtaining a controlled and sustained drug release.

4. 2. Hydrophobic Interactions in Bioseparation - Applications of Modified Green Fluorescent Protein

   Author : Kristian Becker; Tillämpad biokemi; []
   Keywords : Hydrophobic interaction chromatography; capillary electrochromatography; E. coli; isolation tags; haemoglobin; green fluorescent protein; retention prediction; genetic engineering; accessible surface area;

   Abstract : This thesis describes interactions that are salt-promoted and mainly based on the hydrophobicity of proteins. A series of variants of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) was first constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. Several tags with various properties were then genetically fused to the N-terminus of GFP. READ MORE

5. 3. Molecular Recognition Mechanisms: Thermodynamics and Polarization Spectroscopy of DNA--Intercalator Complexes

   Author : Hans-Christian Becker; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; groove-binding; DNA; intercalation; linear dichroism; polarization spectroscopy; thermodynamics; enthalpy--entropy compensation;

   Abstract : Mechanisms for molecular recognition in DNA--intercalator complexes have been investigated by optical spectroscopy. The effect of electrical charge on binding geometry and binding thermodynamics was studied using 2,7-diazapyrene (DAP) and its N-methylated cations DAP+ and DAP2+ as model ligands. READ MORE

6. 4. To Choose or not to Choose Functional Foods, that is the Question : Swedish Consumers’ and Health-care Professionals’ Attitudes to and Use of Functional Foods

   Author : Eva Landström; Maria Magnusson; Wulf Becker; Marianne Pipping Ekström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; functional foods; attitudes; use; knowledge; consumers; health-care professionals; Caring sciences; Vårdvetenskap;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to investigate attitudes to functional foods (here defined as foods with health claims) among Swedish consumers and health-care professionals. The aim is also to survey demographics and health interests associated with the consumption of functional foods among Swedish consumers. READ MORE

7. 5. Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate : Quality of Life and Nasal Form and Function among Adults

   Author : Maria Mani; Mats Holmström; Valdemar Skoog; Anna Andlin-Sobocki; Magnus Becker; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; unilateral cleft lip and palate; quality of life; SF-36; nasal function; nasal breathing; nasolabial appearance; cleft width; long-term results; Plastic surgery; Plastikkirurgi; Plastikkirurgi; Plastic Surgery;

   Abstract : Unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) is a craniofacial malformation with functional and aesthetical impact on the face and the upper airways. The aims of the current thesis were to evaluate Quality of life (QoL) in adults treated for UCLP  (I), to objectively evaluate nasal form and function and to search for possible differences in residual nasal deformity and impairment of function between patients operated according to one-stage and two-stage palate closure (II) as well as to evaluate the relationship between professional and lay rating and patient satisfaction with nasolabial appearance (III) and to identify factors associated with lower levels of QoL and less satisfaction with nasal appearance among adults treated for UCLP (IV).
