Controlled water activity in an enzymatic reaction can influence enzyme activity and productivity. A small layer of water around an enzyme gives it a required flexibility to catalyze reactions at a higher rate in contrast with the one that is dry (Adlercreutz, Dicko, Larsson, & Månsson, 2017). The hypothesis of this research project is that the product yield and productivity of acidolysis and
This study investigates the ethical and legal implications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the Swedish music industry, emphasizing the issues it presents to copyright law. As AI technologies progressively enable the automated generation of musical content, enduring legal principles such as authorship, ownership, and ethical rights are being questioned in ways that conventional copyright framewo
This essay explores the lived experiences of parents of children with neurodevelopmental disabilities in relation to institutional interactions. Using a narrative inquiry approach (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000), 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed to investigate emotional and moral dimensions of the participants' stories. Drawing on Kittays (1999) ethic of care, the
This study presents a mineralogical, textural and structural assessment of the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone Member (Borgholm Formation) and Lower Silurian mudstone (unspecified formation), for their potential use as reservoir and caprock, respectively, for deep carbon storage in the Swedish sector of the Baltic Sea subsurface. The study was performed on two drillcores from the island of Gotland, No
Materialvariation i gråjärn diskuteras vanligtvis utifrån metallurgi eller bearbetbarhet, medan dess konsekvenser för produktionsflödet och styckkostnaden är mindre systematiskt karaktäriserade. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur sammansättningsvariation i gråjärn propagerar genom bearbetningsrespons till produktionssystemets beteende, och kvantifierar de resulterande ekonomiska konsekvenserna perMaterial variability in grey cast iron is usually discussed in terms of metallurgy or machinability, while its consequences for production-flow behaviour and per-part economics are less systematically characterised. This thesis investigates how compositional variability in grey cast iron propagates through machining response into production-system behaviour, and quantifies the resulting per-part e
Numerous African governments are actively implementing diverse strategies to attract increased foreign direct investments (FDI) to bolster their economies. However, there remains an ongoing debate regarding the impact of FDI on economic development, particularly concerning healthcare. Furthermore, there is a notable lack of understanding regarding the influence of Chinese FDI on the African health
Detta examensarbete är en fallstudie av Tumaini Open School för gravida studenter och studerande mödrar i Tabora, Tanzania. Genom den ideella organisationen Ingenjörer utan gränser Sverige genomförde författarna en Minor Field Study i Tanzania för att fastställa efterfrågade eltjänster, det resulterande elbehovet och den maximala dagliga effektkurvan för skolan vid fullskalig verksamhet. Vidare prThis master thesis is a case study of Tumaini Open School for pregnant and mothering students located in Tabora, Tanzania. Through the volunteer organisation Engineers Without Borders Sweden, the authors conducted a Minor Field Study to Tanzania in order to determine the requested electricity services, resulting electricity demand and maximum daily load profile for the school at full-scale operati
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate and analyze the brand creation process employed by international football clubs in relation to their brand identity. Methodology - The methodology for this paper utilizes a qualitative research approach with a multiple case study of four different football clubs, in support of a literature review, and with a proposed theoretical brand identity
This master’s thesis investigates sustainability management within a fashion company and how a company could use the sustainability management tool the Higg Index 2.0 Brand and Retail Module to work towards its prioritised UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is a comparative review of the two frameworks, the Index and the SDGs, from a life cycle analysis perspective. It also includes a cas
This thesis aims to gain a better understanding of the modern subjugation of nature and women in the United States, by looking at the recent history of the Environmental Justice Movement (nature) and Reproductive Justice Movement (women). Through examining the history of these movements and relevant politics from 1970 to present day, events can be analyzed to shed light on the current political si
Refugees often spend over 20 years in what are supposed to be temporary camps, leading to increased violence and abuse. The humanitarian and development sector is seeking long-term solutions to protect their human rights and prevent discrimination. This study aimed to identify which possible solutions the Kenyan government may implement to address the demands of refugees in terms of local integrat
In the event of a nuclear weapon detonation or a power plant accident radionuclides will deposit on the ground. It is then important to identify and quantify the radionuclides to obtain information necessary for radiation protection efforts like relocation and decontamination. Radiation protection instruments with beta probes can be used as search instruments but the small surface of the probe an
Two synchrotron-based studies on 4H-pyran-4-thione, photoelectron spectroscopy and vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) absorption spectra were performed. A highly resolved structure was observed in the photoelectron spectrum (PES), in contrast to an earlier PES study, where little structure was observed. The sequence of ionic states was determined using configuration interaction and coupled cluster methods.
Background: Young adults experience stressors in their transition to adulthood and are at increased risk of mental ill-health. This risk is compounded by young adults’ low levels of mental health literacy and limited competencies in implementing strategies promoting mental health and well-being in their daily lives. Previous research suggests that digital mental health apps may be particularly eff
Background and Goal of StudyWe aimed to develop, implement and evaluate a mobile system using off-the-shelf components, torecord and review simulations and debriefings in four separate rooms during standardized simulation courses at multiple centres in Sweden. Ourrequirements were: high quality sound and video; easy to install, use and demount; suitable for transport by courier; no requirement to
Study region: Lake Vänern, the largest lake in the European Union, located in Sweden. Study focus: The study aimed to develop a spatially complete and temporally continuous lake surface water temperature (LSWT) dataset by fusing satellite remote sensing data with reanalysis products. Five satellite-derived LSWT products, including the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), were eva
To further understand the inter-relationship of the familial transmission of major depression (MD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD), we examine, via a multivariable Cox proportional hazards model, risks for AUD and MD in 1,244,516 individuals born in Sweden from 1970 to 1990 to intact mother-father pairs as a function of parental diagnoses of MD and/or AUD. Across the nine possible mating types, we
Robots operating in real-world settings must manage task variability, environmental uncertainty, and failures during execution. This thesis presents a unified framework for building self-reliant robotic systems by integrating symbolic planning, reinforcement learning, behavior trees (BTs), and vision-language models (VLMs).At the core of the approach is an interpretable policy representation based
Background: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is one of the fastest-evolving human pathogens. Understanding HIV-1 transmission, within-host adaptation, and evolutionary dynamics is pivotal for development of interventions and vaccines. HIV-1 infection is generally caused by a single transmitted founder virus (TFV), and TFV sequences are typically obtained using single genome amplificatio
Urbanization is driving cities to grow, often through urban densification. Utilising computer-based simulations executed over 3D representations of the city is imperative in addressing the challenges posed by implementing sustainable urban densifications; like ensuring adequate access to daylight and limiting noise pollution. However, since these simulations are usually resource-intensive, timecon
