Lignin, the most abundant aromatic polymer in nature, is a valuable renewable resource due to its high phenolic compound content. Utilizing depolymerized lignin for the bioproduction of valuable industrial precursors such as muconic acid has garnered significant attention. In this study, several genetically modified strains of Pseudomonas putida were constructed to bioconvert vanillin and guaiacol
With fast technological development, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most revolutionary forces. Many organizations worldwide are adopting the technology, including the Swedish public sector and administration. Interviewing eight key informants who actively work with implementing AI into the Swedish public sector and administration structures, this thesis aims to investigate how they per
Denna kandidatuppsats fokuserar på påverkan som E-lärande och lösenordsstyrkemätare (LSM) har för att förbättra lösenordsstyrkan bland universitetsstudenter. Syftet med studien är att utforska hur dessa verktyg separat och i kombination påverkar användares lösenordsstyrka. Studien använder en kvasi-experimentell metod för att analysera hur dessa olika interventioner, i form av E-lärande och LSM, p
Digital technologies have significantly facilitated the creation and distribution of User Generated Content. Whereas the online environment offers promising opportunities for business and cultural development, it also carries important implications for EU copyright law. Whilst this topic has been explored in the literature, it is typically considered from the lens of rights holders, who often stru
Potential Dark Matter from strongly coupled gauge theory has been studied extensively in the past. However, in studies thus far, the combination of the phenomenological glueball state with the Linear sigma Model has yet to be explored. We provide the basis for a theory containing both the glueball and the sigma meson coupled to the Polyakov loop. Through considering only the lightest meson states
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia, increasing with each year. AF is characterized by periods of rapid and irregular beating of the heart and increases the risk of stroke and heart failure. The disease often originates from ectopic beats generated by the pulmonary veins, activating the atria, creating short periods of AF. Without treatment the disease evolves, remodels the a
The recognition of honor-related violence has been emphasized in the media and through legal regulation during the last decades in Sweden. Honor oppression is often characterized by its cultural/religious roots and is found in patriarchal and collective societies. However, the regulations might have stigmatizing effects as they target certain communities in society. Previous research shows that ho
Fed aquaculture is a necessary practice to meet the seafood requirements of a growing population in a sustainable manner. There is a high demand for fish feed to meet the rising protein requirements of the industry. Currently, fish feeds are either unsustainable, affected by seasonal variations, lack a complete amino acid profile, lack scalability, or are too expensive. Single Cell Protein (SCP) i
This thesis investigates the relationship between total household income and short-term fertility intentions in the contexts of Germany and Sweden. It contributes to current research by providing a micro-level analysis of each country individually and conducting a direct comparison. Little research has been done on the relationship between total household income, from all sources, and fertility in
Ätstörning är en allvarlig sjukdom som medför stort lidande för de drabbade och deras nätverk. Prognosen beskrivs som generellt gynnsam, men en betydande andel utvecklar svåra och långdragna förlopp. Med utgångspunkt i att ätstörningsproblematik kan vara svårbehandlad, behöver nya behandlingsmetoder utvecklas för att fler patienter ska kunna nå en bestående gynnsam förändring. Personer som lider aEating disorder is a serious illness that causes great suffering for those affected and their network of friends and family. The prognosis is described as generally positive, but a significant percentage develop severe illness with difficulties to recover. Knowing that eating disorders can be difficult to treat, new treatment methods need to be developed so that more patients can achieve a lasting
Gated communities är ett ovanligt boendekoncept i Sverige men har börjat få fotfäste i svensk stadsplanering. Syftet med denna uppsats är att genom en fallstudie undersöka varför Staffanstorps kommun väljer att initiera gated communities som en boendeform i sin stadsplanering, trots kritik från forskningen. Frågeställningarna som väglett studien är: vilka är de huvudsakliga drivkrafterna och faktoGated communities are an uncommon housing concept in Sweden but have begun to gain traction in Swedish urban planning. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate, through a case study, why the municipality of Staffanstorp chooses to initiate gated communities as a housing form in its urban planning, despite criticism from research. Through interviews, surveys, and document analysis, the study ha
In this thesis, the impact that sustainability ratings have on risk adjusted performance metrics such as the Sharpe and Treynor ratio will be evaluated. The authors employ the use of Morningstar's sustainability ratings, ranging from one to five “globes” in their measure of sustainability. An array of different types of funds will be used, these include equity, mutual, index and interest funds
This thesis examines how artificial intelligence is portrayed in the short story “Verde rojo anaranjado” by Mariana Enríquez. Using literary analysis grounded in David Roas's theory of the fantastic and Bernardo Kastrup's philosophy of Analytical Idealism, this study explores the narrative strategies used to create a dystopian and unsettling atmosphere, focusing on how these fantastical el
Social media workers have become an important communication profession within the organisational context. However, workers behind organisational social media accounts remain understudied. This study problematises the limited emphasis of existing research on the self-perceptions of communication practitioners and introduces the perspective of social media workers. The purpose of this study is to ex
Generative AI (Gen AI) is rapidly transforming communication within organizations. While existing research delves into the ethical considerations and productivity impacts of Gen AI, a critical gap remains: how communication specialists, who play a vital role in organizational sensemaking, experience this change. This study addresses this gap by investigating how communication specialists from medi
Studien har haft som avsikt att synliggöra betydelsen av relationer och dess påverkan för lärande, kontinuitet och kompetens inom vården. Syftet med studien blev att undersöka och synliggöra den betydande rollen mellanmänskliga relationer har inom hemtjänsten. För att kunna göra det valdes en kvalitativ metod i form av semistrukturerade intervjuer med undersköterskor. Resultatet från den insamlade
Every year, approximately 2.2 million people are diagnosed with lung cancer worldwide, and 1.7 million die as a result of the disease. This thesis employs machine learning to predict mean per-capita lung cancer mortality rates in US counties, using a dataset consisting of a wide array of demographic, socio-economic, educational, and healthcare-related variables. The primary objective is to compare
This study examines whether aid policies aimed at promoting national interests are more effective at generating economic growth in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) than traditional aid policies. Compared to traditional aid, these policies rely heavily on trade, as the effectiveness of foreign aid has long been under scrutiny. We assess the effectiveness of these aid policies by empirically investi
In recent years, the interrelation between neurodivergent conditions such as ADHD and entrepreneurial activities has received increased attention within academic research. While several studies indicate that individuals displaying ADHD symptoms show elevated levels of entrepreneurial intention and action, other studies found that these do not necessarily translate into entrepreneurial success.
