Use of thermally annealed multilayer gold nanoparticle films in combination analysis of localized surface plasmon resonance sensing and MALDI mass spectrometry

A self-assembled film of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a raspberry-like morphology was prepared on a glass plate by the layer-by-layer thermal annealing of multilayer films of AuNPs. It was possible to control the morphology of the obtained films of AuNPs by changing the annealing temperature,duration of annealing, and number of layers. On investigating the plasmonic properties of these films,we found that AuNP films with a raspberry-like morphology yielded the highest refractive index unit,which is a critical parameter in localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensing, as compared to other types of AuNP films. Self-assembled AuNP films with a raspberry-like morphology were subsequently functionalized with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) to enable the binding of lysozyme to the MUA-modified Au surface. The superior limit of detection for the LSPR sensing of lysozyme in a buffer solution was found to be in the picomolar range (～10（12） M). The high sensitivity observed in the region was attributed to the raspberry-like morphology, where the AuNPs were packed closely together, and the electromagnetic field confinement was most intense (i.e., at hot spots). The MUA-modified, self-assembled AuNP films with a raspberry-like morphology were finally used in the combination analysis of LSPR sensing and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) for the selective detection and identification of lysozyme in human serum

Narrative, Themes and Images in E. Bronte's Novel "Wuthering Heights

Šajā bakalaura darbā tiek apskatītas un analizētas sekojošas tēmas – stāstījums un tā īpatnības, galvenās tēmas un to atspoguļojums Emīlijas Brontes romānā „Kalnu aukas”. Stāstījuma analīze ir svarīga tāpēc, ka notikumus pārmaiņus stāsta gan mājkalpotāja Nellija Dīna, gan jaunais džentelmenis Lokvuds un šo abu varoņu stāstījumi ir tik krasi atšķirīgi, ka tikai to sīkāka analīze palīdz pilnībā izprast romāna struktūru un mērķus. Šajā darbā tiek detalizēti analizētas visas stāstījuma īpatnības ņemot vērā katra stāstītāja ierobežojošos faktorus un to, ko viņi ar savu stāstījumu vēlas panākt. Attiecībā uz tēmām un to atspoguļojumu tiek dots salīdzinoši detalizēts pārskats par to, kādas tēmas romānā parādās un kā tās ir saistītas savā starpā, kā arī kāda ir to simboliskā nozīme.This Bachelor’s Paper deals with the following topics in regard to Emily Bronte’s novel “Wuthering Heights”: the narrative and its peculiarities, main themes and images. The analysis of the narrative is important because the events are told by two narrators – the housekeeper Nelly Dean and the young gentleman Lockwood. Both of these narratives are so different that only a detailed analysis helps to understand the structure and aims of the novel. This paper analyzes in detail all the peculiarities of the narrative in regard to the limiting factors of each narrator. In regard to themes and images a comprehensive overview is given of how they are shown in the novel and linked between one another and also their symbolic meaning is explained

Promoting of the discussion skills in English language lessons for secondary school students

Declining response rates are threatening the usefulness of and confidence in survey data. Survey practitioners have therefore studied why nonrespondents refuse to respond and have tried to counter the declining response rates by intensified follow-up methods. Such efforts sometimes yield negative reactions among respondents. This thesis focuses on the respondent’s perspective in self-administered health-related surveys. The aim was to investigate positive and negative aspects that respondents experience when participating in surveys, to study factors that could increase motivation and to study possibilities to increase response rates in a way that promotes data quality as well as positive experiences among respondents. Self-Determination Theory is a motivation theory that was used as a theoretical framework. Paper I is a study regarding two self-administered health questionnaires among patients in 20 intervention groups in 18 Swedish hospitals. Paper II is a qualitative analysis of data from telephone interviews with respondents to a self-administered health-related survey of the population in the county of Östergötland. Paper III is a randomized experiment in a self-administered survey of a random sample of parents in the municipality of Stockholm. Paper IV is an experimental study concerning a self-administered health questionnaire in a random sample of the general adult population in the county of Östergötland. The results from paper I show that questionnaire length and ease of response were not crucial arguments in choosing between two health questionnaires for use in routine health care. Instead, the most common motives for the choice concerned aspects of the questions’ comprehensiveness and ability to describe the health condition. Respondent satisfaction as described by respondents in paper II includes being able to give correct and truthful information as well as reflection and new insights from the questions. Respondent burden includes experiences of being manipulated or controlled by the researcher as well as worry, anxiety or sadness caused by the questions. Experiences of satisfaction and burden differed depending on the respondents’ primary motive for participating in surveys. The findings of paper III illustrate that the use of lottery tickets as incentives to parents may be less valuable or even harmful as a means of increasing response rates. In paper IV a survey design inspired by Self-Determination Theory yielded higher satisfaction among respondents and improved response rates with similar or better data quality compared with a standard design. Focusing on the respondents’ perspective provided important new knowledge. The results show a broad spectrum of positive as well as negative aspects of survey participation. The results support Self-Determination Theory as a useful theoretical framework for studying motivation in survey research and an interesting additional source to provide ideas on how to design surveys with the potential to motivate respondents. The results suggest that it is possible to improve response rates in a way that promotes data quality as well as positive experiences among the respondents
