Biofilmer finns på ytor överallt runtomkring oss: på våra tänder (plack), på våta ytor i t ex. badrummet och på stenar i vattendrag. Biofilmer är ytterst tunna (vanligtvis mindre än 1 mm) och består av aggregat av mikroorganismer, såsom bakterier, vilka omges av en skyddande hinna. Dessa aggregat bildar ett ”supersamhälle” av mikroorganismer som gör det möjligt för dem att lättare samarbeta med vaThe anaerobic moving bed biofilm reactor (AnMBBR) is a wastewater treatment process that has shown effective for the treatment of industrial wastewaters. As the AnMBBR is a biofilm process, nutrients, products, etc. must be transported through the biofilm. The thickness of the biofilm may, therefore, impact the process. The objectives of this study were (1) to evaluate the effect of the biofilm th

Bakgrund: Miljön inom den psykiatriska och rättspsykiatriska vården är komplex och har visat sig ha betydelse för patientens aktivitetsengagemang och den psykiatriska behandlingen.

In 2018 the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) reported sig- nals of a strongly coupled quark gluon plasma. This plasma is thought to be the reason for J/psi suppression when a fraction of the produced J/psi's dissolves due to the high-energy density of quarks and gluons. In this thesis, it will be investigated whether the suppression can be uniquely attributed to such a plasma. A model, b

The potential for making profits investing in cryptocurrencies, the hedging benefits and the role in global economy, make it relevant to study the determinants of cryptocurrencies and to analyze different returns prediction models.

The development of new heat exchanger patterns is ever changing. Companies are constantly pushing innovation to satisfy costumer needs in terms of thermal efficiency, reliability and serviceability. In this thesis, the implementation of dimples in the corrugated pattern of a plate heat exchanger is investigated to increase the thermal efficiency. The thesis comprises three studies, moving from re

De senaste åren har tarmfloran blivit mycket omtalad eftersom den visat sig spela en viktig roll för hälsan, och till och med kopplats till vissa sjukdomar. En sådan sjukdom är celiaki, en livslång inflammatorisk sjukdom som drabbar i snitt 1.5% av världens befolkning. Om en person med celiaki får i sig gluten, svarar deras immunförsvar med en inflammatorisk reaktion. Detta i sin tur aktiverar celCeliac disease is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the small intestine, triggered by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. The inflammatory and autoimmune aspects of this disease involves the intricate interplay of the immune system and gut microbiota, and celiac disease has repeatedly been associated with dysbiosis of the gut flora. Probiotics have been suggested as an alternative trea

Patients with Cystic Fibrosis develop chronic infection in the lungs. Achromobacter xylosoxidans is an opportunistic pathogen that is frequently found in the lungs of the patients. In the present study, phylogenetic analysis on whole genome sequences from patients with A. xylosoxidans was performed and libraries were prepared with information on genetic variation both in the entire genome and in c

Aktivitet hos humlor och fjärilar Vad är egentligen aktivitet? Tänk på det som om när du funderar på att gå och handla. Du vill inte handla när alla andra gör det för då kommer det vara stor konkurrens när du väl ska betala i kassan. Samtidigt vill du inte komma försent till affärerna och riskera att varan du ska handla tagit slut. Så frågar är: När är den optimala tiden att handla? Lite på samBiodiversity of bumblebee and butterfly species in the agricultural landscape are declining and conservation actions are needed.
