Enzymes are often considered a green approach next to conventional fossil-based chemicals helping us on the margin towards a low-impact society. While enzyme catalysed reactions are low environmental impact technologies, their production is not. In this study, a comparative life cycle assessment of different recombinant enzyme manufacturing strategies quantifies and evaluates the contribution of d

Klimatförändringar är en av de största utmaningar som vi har idag globalt, och skogsbruket spelar en vital roll i kampen mot dessa förändringar. Genom att förstå och reglera brukandet och förvaltningen av våra skogar kan vi bidra till att minska koldioxidutsläppen och kan då öka upptaget av växthusgaser från atmosfären till skog och mark. Ett viktigt verktyg för att åstadkomma detta är LULUCF-föroThe European Union (EU) aims to increase the overall carbon sink through the 2030 climate and energy policy framework, which includes the newly reviewed instrument and regulation of Land use, land use change and forestry (LULUCF). The regulation is considered an important component in the EU climate mitigation strategy which aims to manage and track the greenhouse gas emissions and removals in sec

Barnfridsbrottet infördes i svensk rätt år 2021, med ett starkt rättspolitiskt motiverat perspektiv – att skydda och stärka ställningen för barn som tvingades bevittna våld mellan närståendepersoner. Innan bestämmelsen trädde i kraft i svensk lagstiftning fanns det inte något annat skydd. Av den anledningen redogörs detta kort för genom uppsatsen, för att ge läsaren en förståelse om hur bestämmelsThe child protection offense was introduced into Swedish law in 2021, with a strong legal policy perspective - to protect and strengthen the position of children who were forced to witness violence between close persons. Prior to the entry into force of the provision in Swedish law, there was no other protection. For this reason, this is briefly described throughout the paper, to give the reader a

Home based work is considered as work with low economic value and low waged. The Home base work is also preserved to be a principal way to earn a living for women. The traditional home based works for instance thread making, weaving, dairying, basket making etc., were such kind of work which carried out at home, still exists particularly in developing countries. Since a huge number of home base wo

ISO 14001:2004 is the most commonly used standard for third-party certification of Environmental Management Systems (EMS) in the world. It is currently undergoing an upgrading process, which will affect all the companies certified to ISO 14001. A first draft has been produced, the Committee Draft 1 (CD1). The thesis has two research questions: What are the most likely changes in the new version

In this project, Esaki tunnel diodes have been made of InP(n+)/InGaAs(p+) core/sell nanowires and current-voltage characteristics of the nanowire tunnel diodes for future electronic and photovoltaic application have been investigated. Six different groups of nanowires with different doping concentrations of the shell have been studied with the aim of finding the best nanowire condition to use in t

The goal of this master thesis was to identify an alternative to shaft encoders as means of achieving accurate motor velocity and position control for sliding door systems. While the company had previously explored methods like using backEMF, this thesis investigates counting voltage ripples during the commutation process in a brushed DC motor. During commutation, one or two pairs of commutator se

This thesis deploys ethnographic tools in a qualitative case study to explore the internet community, Female Dating Strategy (FDS). As narratives surrounding the “crisis of masculinity” are popularised within politics and mainstream media, the objective of research becomes to scrutinise these conceptualisations. This thesis does so by focusing on the field of intimacy and sexuality, by raising the

Styrning av partiklar med ljud och intelligenta algoritmer Det här examensarbetet handlar om att styra små partiklar i vätska utan att röra vid dem, med hjälp av ljud. Genom en teknik som kallas multimodal akustofores kombineras flera olika ljudvågor för att noggrant kunna påverka partiklarnas rörelser. Metoden är särskilt intressant inom biomedicin, till exempel vid analys av enskilda celler ellThis thesis explores a range of control algorithms for multimodal acoustophoresis, the process of manipulating particles in a fluid by simultaneously using several acoustic modes. The aim of the algorithms is to precisely guide particle trajectories in acoustofluidic systems, motivated by the demand for non-invasive, scalable manipulation techniques in biomedical applications such as single-cell a

This study evaluated the efficacy of reduced-temperature pasteurization in preserving the nutritional, sensory, and microbial integrity of two fruit juice products: a standard orange juice and a probiotic mango juice enriched with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 299v, conducted at Österlenmejeriet AB in Lunnarp, a subsidiary of Danone. Laboratory-scale thermal treatments were applied at temperatures

Amine transaminases are valuable biocatalysts in the pharmaceutical industry for the production of chiral amines. Their high regioselectivity and inherent regeneration of cofactor pose them as a greener alternative to the chemical synthesis. However, their application is hampered by their limited stability and narrow substrate scope and product inhibition. Recently, a stable tetrameric amine trans

Left atrial reservoir strain (LASr) offers diagnostic and prognostic value in patients with heart failure. However, LASr may be technically challenging and is not available to all clinical echocardiographers. Since LASr is a consequence of left atrial (LA) stretch during apical descent of the mitral annulus, we hypothesized that a ratio between mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE) and L

Aim: To evaluate (1) whether three migratory nightjar species (Family Caprimulgidae) adhere to Bergmann's rule, (2) whether environmental factors on the breeding or wintering grounds determine body size, and (3) which mechanistic hypotheses best explain Bergmannian patterns in body size. Location: North and South America; Europe and Africa. Taxon: Eastern whip-poor-will (Antrostomus vociferus), Co

There is a global concern about the decline of wild pollinators and the ecosystem services they provide. Although land-use change is a major threat to biodiversity, it is still poorly understood how land-use heterogeneity (or land-use structure) impacts pollinator communities and entomophilous crop production. Based on a literature review, we performed a meta-analysis to (1) assess how landscape s

Ett av de svåraste momenten för en domare är hur de ska värdera en muntlig utsaga. Vid sexualbrott är det vanligt förekommande att en utsaga är den största bevisningen, det är därför av största vikt att en utsaga värderas på ett objektivt och godtagbart sätt. I Sverige finns det ingen lagreglering om hur en bevisvärdering ska gå till. För att rättssäkerheten inte helt ska försvinna finns det riktlOne of the most difficult moments of a judge is how to evaluate an oral statement. When dealing with sex crimes the oral statement is usually the biggest evidence, it is therefore important that an oral statement is valued in an objective and acceptable manner. In Sweden, there is no legal regulation on how an evaluation on oral statements should work. There are guidelines for the evaluation of or

Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra olika metoder att kvantifiera den kemiska fettsammansättningen i benmärg med hjälp av magnetkamerateknik, att jämföra dessa metoder för två olika magnetfältsstyrkor samt att ta fram referensfantom och beräkningsalgoritmer för att uppskatta fettinnehållet. Magnetresonans, eller MR, är en vanlig diagnostisk teknik inom vården. Magnetkameran använder sig av ettPurpose: To optimize a method and develop an algorithm to quantify Fatty Acid Composition (FAC) in bone marrow adipose tissue. By using different reconstruction models, compare different MRI systems (3 T and 7 T) to find the optimal field strength and reconstruction model for FAC quantification. Also, to develop a reference phantom with bone marrow-like characteristics. Method: Multi-echo GRE (Gr
