Development of genetically modified microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use as microbial cell factories to produce fine and bulk chemicals has lately proceeded very rapidly, much thanks to new gene editing methods based on a CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted from bacteria which increases the rate of genetic engineering. However, development of methods which enable fast and simple screenin

The intake of anthocyanin rich-foods, such as bilberries has been associated with a reduced risk of developing cardiovascular-related diseases. Similarly, the cardiovascular benefits of oat consumption are well known and are mainly due to its cholesterol-lowering and hypoglycemic effects. A randomized double-blinding clinical trial has been designed to investigate the cardiovascular beneficial eff

Vikten av resurseffektivitet i livsmedelskedjan är tydlig, eftersom denna sektor är en av de största bidragarna till negativ klimatpåverkan globalt. Målet med den här uppsatsen var att utforska sidoströmmar av mat inom livsmedelskedjan i Västra Götaland, för att kartlägga hur mycket som redan är täckt i statistiken och vilka luckor i datamaterialet som finns för framtida forskning att täcka. DessThe importance of resource efficiency in the food supply chain is clear, since this sector is one of the biggest contributors to the negative environmental impacts globally. This thesis project aimed to examine food side streams throughout the food supply chain in Västra Götaland, to map out how much has already been covered statistically and what gaps there are in the data for future research to

Denna uppsats rör frågan om avtalsmekanismen och avtalstolkning i förhållande till smarta kontrakt. Smarta kontrakt är datorprogram som laddas upp på en blockkedja i syfte att utföra någon form av transaktion mellan en eller flera parter. Genom att ladda upp de smarta kontrakten på en blockkedja, blir de omöjligt att ändra på i efterhand, vilket säkerställer att de exekverar. På så vis är det möjlIn this essay I discuss contract formation and contract interpretation with regards to smart contracts. Smart contracts are computer programs inserted on a blockchain, with the purpose of facilitating an exchange of digital goods between the parties. Blockchain technology is used to store smart contracts in order to imbue the smart contract with several useful qualities for contracting in a trustl

In a digital age where travellers are increasingly looking for the cheapest, fastest or most sustainable way to travel, comparing different modes of transport efficiently becomes a challenge. The internet offers a wide range of websites and travel providers, fragmenting information and forcing travellers to navigate inefficiently between different platforms and websites. Multimodal Digital Mobili

Som en del i utvecklingen mot grönare och miljövänligare processer, samt ett behov av ytterst specifika reaktioner, vill AAK AB utvidga sin användning av lipaser i sin produktion av strukturerade triacylglyceroler (STAGs). AAK vill bygga upp ett bibliotek av utvärderade lipaser. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att bidra till detta bibliotek genom att karakterisera en grupp kommersiellt tillgänglAs part of a switch towards more green and environmentally friendly processes, together with a need for highly specific reactions, AAK AB wants to broaden their use of lipases in the production of structured triacylglycerols (STAGs). AAK are working on creating a lipase library where several lipases are evaluated, this master thesis aims to contribute to this lipase library by characterizing a sel

Introduction: PARP14 is overexpressed and plays an essential role in the survival of many kinds of cancer cells and in inflammatory diseases, and its inhibition could prove to be a future medical treatment. Background: It is still unknown which structures contribute more to PARP14 binding, and because of how conserved the catalytic domain is in the PARP family, the inhibitors need to be selective

Sammanfattning Inom konkursrätt kan vara av intresse för ett konkursbo att låta viss egendom utgå ur konkursboet i syfte att ge så god utdelning som möjligt till borgenärerna. Till exempel i de fall att egendomen är befäst med olika utgifter som kan bidra till att konkursboet får en minskad nettovinst. Genom NJA 2004 s. 777 har abandonering ansetts vara tillåtet i svensk rätt och det har sedan des

Sedan Sveriges etikprövningslag började gälla år 2004 har kritiken mot den varit omfattande. På senare år har debatten kring lagen varit extra intensiv, och kritiken kommer framför allt från forskare inom samhällsvetenskap, rättsvetenskap och humaniora. Kritiken mot lagen och Sveriges etikprövningssystem går i första hand ut på att etikprövningslagen försvårar vissa typer av forskning till den graThe Swedish Act (2003:460) concerning the ethical review of research involving humans (“Ethical Review Act”) has been widely criticized since its introduction. In the latest years the debate has been intensive, with critique from researchers in social studies, law and humanities. The critique is primarily implying that the Swedish Ethical Review Act aggravate certain types of research to that exte

Finished Goods Distribution Network (FGDN) design is an important aspect of Supply Chain Management (SCM), and companies are constantly working towards balancing cost, service level and product quality in the design. At the same time, sustainability has gained an increased focus by stakeholders which has led to both challenges and opportunities in the logistics industry. The FGDN optimization is e

Due to the increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, there is a need for adaptations and mitigations to climate change. Not only is a drastic reduction of emissions necessary, but the uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere needs to be increased and stored long-term. One of the more efficient mitigation strategies to reduce CO2 concentrations in th

Background: Rheumatic diseases commonly affect joints and other structures in the hand. Surgery is a traditional way to treat hand problems in inflammatory rheumatic diseases with the purposes of pain relief, restore function and prevent progression. There are numerous measures to choose from, and a combination of outcome measures is recommended. This study evaluated if instruments commonly used i

Introduction: The fight against maternal deaths has gained attention as the target date for Millennium Development Goal 5 approaches. Induced-abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal deaths in developing countries which hamper this effort. In Ghana, alcohol consumption and unwanted pregnancies are on the ascendancy. We examined the association between alcohol consumption and maternal mort

NILE ("New Improvements for Lignocellulosic Ethanol") was an integrated European project (2005-2010) devoted to the conversion of lignocellulosic raw materials to ethanol. The main objectives were to design novel enzymes suitable for the hydrolysis of cellulose to glucose and new yeast strains able to efficiently converting all the sugars present in lignocellulose into ethanol. The project also in

Ulcerated diabetic foot is a complex problem. Ischaemia, neuropathy and infection are the three pathological components that lead to diabetic foot complications, and they frequently occur together as an aetiologic triad. Neuropathy and ischaemia are the initiating factors, most often together as neuroischaemia, whereas infection is mostly a consequence. The role of peripheral arterial disease in d

Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna avhandling undersöker vi vilka anpassningar som behöver göras i designen av matematikkurser när de överförs från en kulturell miljö till en annan. Vi fokuserar på en kurs i beräkningsmatematik som undervisas på Lunds Universitet i Sverige och som vi under studien överförde till Sorans Universitet i Kurdistan/Irak. Projektet har två delar. Den första diskuterar hThis thesis aims to investigate necessary adaptations in the design of a mathematics course when it is transferred from one cultural environment to another. We focus on an elementary course in computational mathematics with Python taught at Lund University, Sweden, and at Soran University, Kurdistan/Iraq. This project holds two main parts. The first part elucidates how the necessary changes in tea
