Complex metabolic diseases due to overnutrition such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease are a major burden on the healthcare system worldwide. Current research primarily focuses on disease endpoints and trying to understand underlying mechanisms at relatively late stages of the diseases, when irreversible damage is already done. However, complex interactions between physiological
A study of three different adhesives, silicone, acrylate and polyurethane, intended for adhesive joints in structural timber/glass applications is presented in this paper. Intentionally, adhesives with a wide range of properties were chosen. The adhesive bonds between timber and glass were tested both in tension and in shear with a bond area of 800 mm2. Special fixtures were designed
The contiguity and phase of sequence information are intrinsic to obtain complete understanding of the genome and its relationship to phenotype. We report the fabrication and application of a novel nanochannel design that folds megabase lengths of genomic DNA into a systematic back-and-forth meandering path. Such meandering nanochannels enabled us to visualize the complete 5.7 Mbp (1mm) stained DN
Dating back to the ancient times, people used simple marks to tell their stories and write their history when languages were not created. As time passes by, there are more and more ways we could choose like writing dairies, taking photos, or using mobile devices to share the stories with friends. We could record almost every second in life easily. On the other hand, we are now facing a huge amount
The scale at which greenhouse gases are produced by human activities is a global problem, and as such it is being targeted broadly both by political means as well as technologically. One of the major contributors to the emission of green house gases globally, as well as in Sweden, is the transportation sector. This poses an opportunity for technologies that aim to reduce impact of the transport se
Machine control with GPS allows machinists to operate using a digital model as reference instead of the traditionally used methods. This leads to other duties and a different flow at the worksite. The purpose of this study is to examine how various professions have changed with the development of machine controlled equipment and also how the work methods can be optimized. A series of interviews ha
The scientific development of astronomy today mainly comes from the information that can be obtained via electromagnetic radiation. Today, the Gaia optical telescope is one of the most ambitious space projects man has ever completed. Another optical telescope LSST is designed to complement Gaia. In about 15 years it will also be possible to measure gravitational waves with the telescope LISA, whic
Public speaking is something that most people struggle with and the art of public speaking is something that is difficult to master. Traditional coaching usually consists of an expert teaching you a set of rules to consider and giving you feedback based on a presentation. Virtual reality (VR) based applications have been becoming more and more common over the last couple of years as an alternative
Bakgrund: Covid-19-pandemin har förändrat utbildningsformen på universitet Sverige över, vilket påtvingat distansstudier för många studenter. Omställningen kan inverka på studenters upplevelse av aktivitetsbalans, vilket är kopplat med hälsa och välbefinnande, men det saknas idag studier inom detta fält. Ökad kunskap om hur studenter upplever distansundervisningens inverkan på deras aktivitetsbalaBackground: The covid-19-pandemic has shifted the method of education toward distance- based learning for universities throughout Sweden. This could affect students experiences of occupational balance, which is known to be associated with health and well-being, but today there is a lack of studies in this area. Increased insight into how students experience occupational balance could help universi
This study aims to analyze experiences and attitudes that the AML employees at Danske Bank have towards the relevant legislation and regulation due to their crime prevention work against money laundering. The employees' experiences were composed through semi-structured interviews of a total of 5 employees selected in the bank´s two departmental teams within AML: Compliance and AML Advisors. Th
The topic of immigration and its management is very controversial and highly discussed. Hence, it continues to have a huge impact on the today’s societies and the political climate. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of the following socio-economic factors: satisfaction, security and dynamics regarding the fear of immigration in East Germany. The main goal is to investigate the dif
Open source software has been gaining popularity, especially among commercial organizations. The broad industry acceptance is in large part due to the demonstrated ability of open source solutions to compete with proprietary alternatives. Using open source software components enables companies to reduce their own development costs, and thus improve software development efficiency. Many open source
Media, technology and globalization are the key words in academic contemporary consumer and cultural research going on today. From these ideas, many different research directions could diverge. This thesis explores the listening habits of female, native Finnish and English speakers living in Sweden who are within the age groups of 20’s to 40’s. Focusing on media, technology, and mobile world citiz
The main focus of this thesis is the analysis of the interactions between antennas and channels where electromagnetic fields play a central role. Our goal has been to devise a general framework to enable a clear separation of the properties of the propagation channel from the influence of the antennas at the same time as it provides a common ground for a joint characterization of their properties.
With the popularity of sustainability reports in industry due to rising awareness about environmental, economic, and social issues stakeholder pressure has increased on companies to formally report on the triple bottom line. Not only that, the process of developing a sustainability report by itself is beneficial to the company in monitoring its practices and planning for the future. This need has
Electrolytic capacitor components degrade when exposed to thermal stress which can cause failures in electrical devices. Several recent works have studied the lifetime of these components by using accelerated life testing. This work, however, takes a new approach by utilising vast amounts of temperature data and regression techniques. Axis Communications collects large amounts of non-personalised
Malmö is growing. By 2030 the north harbor will house a new neighborhood with the goal of bringing 3000 residents closer to the city center. Building vertically, roof top kindergartens and a large number of courtyards are some of the visions of the concept suggested by the architects. This new neighborhood and situation requires furniture accordingly and public furniture producer Nola wants to dev
