  2. 21. Studies on the Conformation of Transmembrane Polypeptides in Membrane Proteins

    Author : Marika Cassel; Gunnar von Heijne; Martin Spiess; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; membrane protein; topology; transmembrane helix; helical hairpin; turn propensity; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : The major aim of the studies that this thesis is based on has been to better define the topological determinants of the formation of so-called helical hairpins during membrane protein assembly in the ER membrane.The helical hairpin is a basic folding unit in membrane proteins.

  4. 22. Patchworking publics-in-the-making : design, media and public engagement

    Author : Kristina Lindström; Åsa Ståhl; Nina Wakeford; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : design; media; collaboration; making; technology; materiality; material turn; interaction design; media and communication studies; publics; feminist technoscience;

    Abstract : This is a collaborative practice-based thesis by publication written across two disciplines: interaction design, and media and communication studies. Based on Threads – a Mobile Sewing Circle, a travelling exhibition in which participants are invited to embroider an SMS by hand and with an embroidery machine connected to a mobile phone, this thesis puts forward the concept of publics-in-the-making.

  5. 23. Computational Modeling of the AT2 Receptor and AT2 Receptor Ligands : Investigating Ligand Binding, Structure–Activity Relationships, and Receptor-Bound Models

    Author : Christian Sköld; Anders Karlén; Anders Hallberg; Torbjörn Lundstedt; Tommy Liljefors; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Pharmaceutical chemistry; Angiotensin II; AT1; AT2; SAR; bioactive conformation; turn mimetic; peptidomimetic; DISCO; homology model; 3D-QSAR; CoMFA; Farmaceutisk kemi;

    Abstract : Rational conversion of biologically active peptides to nonpeptide compounds with retained activity is an appealing approach in drug development. One important objective of the work presented in this thesis was to use computational modeling to aid in such a conversion of the peptide angiotensin II (Ang II, Asp-Arg-Val-Tyr-Ile-His-Pro-Phe).

  6. 24. From the sea to the land beyond : exploring plural perspectives on whaling

    Author : Benedict E. Singleton; Rolf Lidskog; Michael Thompson; C.S.A. Kris van Koppen; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; whaling; Faroe Islands; ontological turn; cultural theory; the commons; political ecology; environmental conflict; environmental policy; conservation; Sociologi; Sociology;

    Abstract : A perennial challenge in efforts to deal with environmental issues is the question of how to simplify. As such, where and when one simplifies is often a source of conflict, but perversely also paramount to finding a solution. This thesis focuses on one long-standing environmental issue, the whaling debate. READ MORE

  7. 25. Revoicing Sámi narratives : north Sámi storytelling at the turn of the 20th century

    Author : Coppélie Cocq; Mikael Svonni; Thomas DuBois; Richard Jones-Bamman; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; storytelling; folklore; folk narratives; oral tradition; Sámi culture; muitalus; critical discourse analysis; polyphony; Sami language; Samiska;

    Abstract : Revoicing Sámi narratives investigates the relationship between storytellers, contexts and collective tradition, based on an analysis of North Sámi narratives published in the early 1900s. This dissertation “revoices” narratives by highlighting the coexistence of different voices or socio-ideological languages in repertoires and by considering Sámi narratives as utterances by storytellers rather than autonomous products of tradition.
