Transport in and through biological membranes that consist of lipid bilayers has a crucial role in many applications in the food or pharmaceutical industries. How to deliver an enzyme through the membranes without damaging the enzymatic activity or the "shelf-life" of the enzyme has been of large interest since 1970 [29-30]. In this work, we have shown that a thin lipid sponge phase (L3)

Here a lung-on-a-chip device was developed and fabricated using 3D-printing of molds. The lung-on-a-chip device was used as a lung injury model by overstretching of murine lung epithelial cells (MLE-12) monolayers, resembling the injury during mechanical ventilation. The cells were exposed to 25% strain, representing pathological conditions seen in ventilator induced lung injury of patients with

Olika motiv kan influera individen till att vilja bli vegetarian, men däremot kan olika individer motiveras av olika motiv (Rosenfeld & Burrow, 2017a:85). Denna studie undersöker och behandlar följande motiv: trend-, sociala-, konsumtionskultur-, etiska- och hälsomotiv. En kvalitativ metod har tillämpats och empirin samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med vegetarianer i Sverige som

This thesis is about the legal protection of the Intellectual Property (IP) of the design of the graphical user interface (GUI) for computer programs aka software. The research into this matter of law was done by finding out and analysing how this protection is provided through international treaties, statutory law and case law. It concludes that there is a certain amount of legal uncertainty with

Restored salt marsh; topography, hydrology and vegetation Coastal salt marshes are shaped through a combination of physical (i.e., sediment accumulation/erosion) and biological (i.e., vegetation) processes. They are characterized by fine sediments and halophytic vegetation. The accretion rate and elevation change has been indicated as one of the most important factors in ecology of the marshes. T

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical framework that enables a company to design an appropriate channel strategy, to handle communication between the company and its end customers. Methodology: The approach for this master thesis can be described as a combination of an exploratory and problem solving study. It started with a literature study, and the knowledge and inspiration led

Problem: Vilka är de drivande faktorerna till köbildning på klinikens avdelningar samt hur kan ökad kunskap om dessa faktorer på sikt skapa möjligheter för en effektivare kapacitetsplanering och en förbättrad servicenivå mot klinikens kunder? Syfte: Förbättra kapacitetsplaneringen för att på så sätt frigöra resurser och minska väntetiderna. Ta reda på vilka data som krävs för att på ett smidigt mProblem: Which are the driving factors creating queues at the different sections at the Department of Orthopedics and is it possible to use enhanced knowledge of these factors to create competitive advantage when conducting capacity planning? Will this also lead to an increased service level towards the patients? Purpose: Improve the capacity planning in order to free resources and reduce waiting

Issue of study: Knowledge management is recognised as an essential part of company strategy, with the potential to generate significant competitive advantage. The theoretical basis of knowledge management is well developed, however the practical implementation is not well adapted with regards to construction organisations. More research with a practical perspective regarding knowledge management

Problem definition: Supply chain segmentation is a topic which in later years has received increasing attention from supply chain managers of companies in industrial settings. To members of the supply chain research community the ideas and theoretical contributions underlying the concept of supply chain segmentation are hardly new, but have evolved ever since the beginning of the 1990s. However, a

Som ett alternativ till att implementera mjukvaran in-house är det möjligt att hyra mjukvara som en tjänst, detta kallas för Software as a Service (SaaS). SaaS ställer nya krav på leverantör och kund då de ställs inför nya risker och möjligheter. Efter en litteraturgenomgång har vi identifierat dessa och funnit att vissa faktorer betraktas både som en möjlighet och risk. De faktorer som påstås

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical framework that enables a company to measure the success of an initiative that migrates customers from one channel to another, in order to improve or upgrade the way of handling customer support between the company and its end customers. Methodology: The strategy for this thesis was to carry out an iterative case study - theory-led by

Climate change places pressure on rural land in terms of carbon sequestration, biomass for substitution and adaptation of crops. Land use can both positively and negatively influence the runoff regime, therefor a catchment perspective is important when developing climate strategies. This is also important with respect to flood-risk that will increase with climate change. Here I investigate if ther

Encapsulation systems have long been studied, and the designs have varied in both capsule material as well as the type of cargo. The intended use have ranged from nanoreactors to delivery systems. This work presents an encapsulation system consisting of protein capsule and a protein cargo. The capsule is a redesigned hepatitis B virus capsid protein, in which the luminal extension has been altered

Swedish fire and rescue services are in a transformation that shifts towards an increased focus on preventive actions as well as more strategic oriented activities within the organizations. To support and develop such types of activities, Geographical Information System (GIS) could be an effective tool to manage and analyze geographic data. This thesis aims to examine the prerequisites for develop
