Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera innovations- processen i ett fallföretag för att öka förståelsen för konsumentens betydelse och roll i denna. Studien är av kvalitativ, explorativ och abduktiv karaktär. Primärdata har samlats in med hjälp av djupintervjuer med utvalda personer inom Lantmännen och Lantmännen Cerealia. Sekundärdata har samlats in från litteratur, vetenskapliga artiklar samt e

INTRODUCTION: General practitioners are often interested in doing research but are hampered by lack of time and research training. Interpreting the results of others can also be difficult. For this reason a course in basic research methods for GPs was started in Sweden in 1989. It was originally aimed at GPs but was later extended to hospital physicians as well. The course is given regionally and

The forest industry is one of Sweden’s most important business areas. As the use of paper is declining the need for this sector to find other alternatives is increasing. An attractive option to meet this demand is the establishment of forest biorefineries. However, economically suitable pretreatment methods for woody biomass, which minimize degradation of the structural carbohydrates and allow the

Hydrogels are a hydrophilic network of polymers (usually cross-linked polysaccharides) that are natural or synthetic. Applications of hydrogels are many in the biomedical field. Because of the high water absorption (10 to 200 grams of water per gram of hydrogel), hydrogels have a high degree of flexibility similar to natural human tissue. Human cells can be incorporated into the hydrogel, which in

Galactoglucomannans (GGM) can be used as a precursor for the production of surfactants, plastics, hydrogels etc. However, separation of galactoglucomannan (GGM) from lignin and lignin-carbohydrate-complexes using membrane filtration is difficult. Precipitation of GGM with anti-solvents is an approach that has been previously studied. A membrane filtration step prior to precipitation is economicall

Morphology represents a hitherto unexploited source of specificity in microfluidic particle separation and may serve as the basis for label-free particle fractionation. There is a wealth of morphological changes in blood cells due to a wide range of clinical conditions, diseases, medication and other factors. Also, blood-borne parasites differ in morphology from blood cells. We present the use of

When acquiring simple three-dimensional (3d) trajectory data it is common to accumulate large coordinate data sets. In order to examine integrity and consistency of object tracking, it is often necessary to rapidly visualise these data. Ordinarily, to achieve this the user must either execute 3d plotting functions in a numerical computing environment or manually inspect data in two dimensions, plo

Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD) devices have been used to separate particles based on size [1] and shape [2]. Here we show how DLD devices can also be used to separate particles based on their ability to deform under shear forces. Varying experimental conditions allows us to vary the relative contributions of size, morphology and deformability. The ability to distinguish between cells bas

Membrane-bound water channels known as aquaporins (AQPs) facilitate water transport across biological membranes along osmotic gradients. Since all living cells depend on their ability to maintain water homeostasis, this must be tightly regulated. In eukaryotes, this is achieved by gating, which involves a conformational change of the protein, thereby physically blocking water transport, or by traf

We present a microfluidic device that can sort nanosized extracellular vesicles (EVs) based on electrokinetics and Deterministic Lateral Displacement (DLD). The device is made from PDMS using standard soft-lithography, can separate particles down to 200 nm, and what is more, can achieve almost two orders of magnitude higher throughput than an otherwise single electrokinetic DLD device.

We present a method to rapidly fabricate a large number of thermoplastic microfluidic systems where horizontal microchannels are separated by a porous membrane for modelling biological barriers. We optimize and combine solvent bonding, milling and laser cutting to fabricate in excess of 100 devices in two days. The optimized protocol relies on a commercial solvent blend, retention grooves for solv

The latest version of the Swiss standard for building acoustics (SIA181) introduced a new measurement method, based on a balanced- Arm hammer, for evaluating the decoupling performance of service equipment. This method was developed for reproducing in a standard manner the manipulation of service equipment in bathrooms and kitchens. In this study, we are investigating the relevance of such method
