Inhalation of engineered nanoparticles that are handled as powders or sprays in consumer products poses a potential health risk. To investigate the effects of nanoparticles on human health, the Nano Aerosol Chamber for In-Vitro Toxicity (NACIVT) system has been designed for controlled deposition of aerosol particles onto cell cultures. The objective of this study was to estimate the deposited dose
This thesis investigates the resilience of labour migration from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan to Russia in the aftermath of the 2014-2015 rouble crisis, despite a significant deterioration in economic incentives. In addition to addressing this empirical puzzle, the study is motivated by the need for deeper theorization of migration persistence, employing an adapted version of Hein de Haa
Despite the significant advances in cancer genomics, identifying all cancer drivers (CDs) remains a challenge. Most of the existing approaches rely heavily on mutational data, while emerging research has started to put focus on epigenetic regulation in cancer development. This is why the OriGENE model —a convolutional neural network (CNN) was developed to classify CDs based on H3K4me3 histone modi
This thesis examines how coaching shapes the learning experience in incubator programs, drawing on the perspectives of both coaches and early-stage entrepreneurs. While coaching is often positioned as a core learning intervention within incubators, its actual role in entrepreneurial learning remains insufficiently understood. Based on eleven semi-structured interviews with participants from incuba
Purpose: As greenwashing becomes an increasingly prevalent concern in the sustainability industry, the pressure of organizations to be perceived as credible is rising. One strategic approach to enhance perceived credibility is through collaboration with a non-governmental organization (NGO). This study aims to examine the impact of NGO–For-Profit co-branding on the brand attitude of both the for-

In Vietnam, household food waste is increasing due to changing consumption patterns and urbanization. While technological innovations in food packaging, such as intelligent packaging, have the potential to reduce food waste, their success depends on consumer acceptance. This study explores Vietnamese consumers' perceptions of intelligent packaging as a tool for food waste prevention and factor
20-25% of semi-natural habitat per square-kilometre is required for the provision of local Nature’s Contributions to People. Farmers are key actors in reversing the severe habitat deficits in agricultural regions. Conceptually anchored in the Safe and Just Earth System Boundary Framework and the Tripartite Framework for Mitigation Pathways, this thesis combines a systematic literature review on ho
För att underhålla järnvägar på rätt sätt behöver arbetare kunna nå spåret snabbt och enkelt. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur tillgången till järnvägsanläggningar fungerar idag och vilken skillnad servicevägar gör för underhållsarbetet. Studien bygger på intervjuer med åtta personer från Trafikverket och järnvägsunderhållsföretag, data från felrapporteringssystemet Ofelia för åren 2000–2023 samTo maintain railways properly workers need to be able to reach the track quickly and easily. This thesis looks at how access to railway facilities works today and what difference maintenance access roads make for maintenance work. The study is based on interviews with eight people from Trafikverket and railway maintenance companies, data from the fault reporting system Ofelia covering the years 20
The impoundment of hydroelectric reservoirs is associated with significant emissions of green house gases. In addition, the loss of the pre-flooded landscape is a substantial factor in the long-term carbon footprint of hydroelectric reservoirs. The Paix-des-Braves reservoir in Québec was one of the first reservoirs to be studied in regards of its total carbon footprint, combining pre- and post-imp
Renewable energy expansion and carbon sink enhancement are central to developing sustainable climate pathways, yet the rapid deployment of renewable energy technologies is intensifying land-use competition and increasing the need for more resource-efficient siting strategies. Solar development on former peat extraction sites represents one such approach, as it enables the use of degraded land whil
Introduction – On-site sanitation systems (OSS) are the primary sanitation technology used to manage household fecal sludge in the Global South, including Kigali City. Poor quality OSS can lead to the spread of fecal-oral diseases and water resource pollution. Previous studies have demonstrated that OSS in Kigali are ineffective. In 2018, the Rwanda Standards Board adopted ISO 24521 to guide the d
BACKGROUND: Four amino-acid-changing polymorphisms differentiate the blood group A and B alleles. Multiple missense mutations are associated with weak expression of A and B antigens but the structural changes causing subgroups have not been studied. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS: Individuals or families having serologically weak B antigen on their red cells were studied. Alleles were characterized by s
This dissertation is a revisionist study of the early stages of the Chinese Civil War with a focus on the conflict in the Manchurian theatre. The military operations in Manchuria during the late 1940s were pivotal to the outcome of the Chinese Civil War, which in turn determined the political landscape of contemporary China. Clarifying the strategies employed by both sides, this study advances bey
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Treatment of cancer with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) entails a risk of immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Data on the treatment of immune-related enterocolitis (irEC) in patients with inadequate symptom control after treatment with standard therapy including corticosteroids, infliximab, and vedolizumab are scarce. Based on limited data, recommendations include t
BACKGROUND: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) clearance via the olfactory pathway is well-documented in animal models. However, results from in vivo human studies appear inconsistent. Studies using intrathecal (IT) Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCA) enhanced MRI showed minimal tracer pass-through from intracranial to extracranial olfactory regions such as the nasal mucosa. Conversely, human imaging s
