Release of extracellular vesicles is an evolutionarily conserved trait present among all life forms. Bacterial extracellular vesicles are released in the extracellular space to interact with the surrounding environment. The vesicles are known to be involved in cell-cell, intra species communication and produced in response to stress. Recently, emerging evidence of virulence factors present in vesi

The aim of this study has been to identify and explore sexual values in 4 different guideline documents for social workers. The guidelines originate in different contexts and are applied in work with different groups of clients. Guidelines aimed at different organizations in social work were chosen in order to show a broader view of values in relation to sexuality in social work. The study of the

Behovet av avancerad rening genom till exempel ozonering eller aktivt kol på avloppsrenings-verk blir tydligare i världen som följd av höga uppmätta nivåer av läkemedelsrester i recipienter. I länder som Schweiz är implementeringen redan idag lagstadgad och också i Sverige förväntas inom en överskådlig framtid krav införas på avlägsning av organiska mikroföreoreningar från avloppsvatten. I dagslägThe need for advanced wastewater treatment using for example ozonation or activated carbon is becoming exceedingly apparent because of high measured concentrations of pharmaceutical res-idues in recipients all over the world. In Switzerland for example there is legal requirements for the implementation of advanced treatment and within the foreseeable future also in Sweden the demands on the remova

Urban microbial communities, where do they come from? Microorganisms are everywhere, but where do they come from? If you live in a city, what about the microorganisms around you? In the environment where humans live, although invisible to our eyes, thousands of microorganisms live with us. Like human communities, these microorganisms form small communities with different distribution characteris

Produktion av växtbaserade livsmedel resulterar idag i stora mängder restprodukter, och för att göra industrin mer miljövänlig behöver man hitta nya tillämpningar för att ta till vara på restprodukterna – som ofta har ett högt näringsvärde. När Oatly tillverkar sina havre-produkter bildas en fiberrik restprodukt med potentiellt högt näringsvärde. I dagsläget används restprodukten till djurfoder elThe production of plant-based food is a growing industry, and to be able to make the industry more sustainable, the handling of the large amounts of by-products needs to be improved. When Oatly produces oat products, a fibre-rich oat residue is formed. Today, the oat residue is unstable, and difficult to use for further applications. This project aimed to stabilize the oat residue by fermentation.

Genom att analysera stjärnors egenskaper, kan astronomer ta reda på hur både stjärnor och galaxer utvecklas och formas. Det främsta verktyget man använder till detta är så kallade spektra. När vitt ljus, från exempelvis en lampa, färdas genom ett prisma så ser man regnbågens färger på andra sidan prismat. Detta kallas för ett spektrum. När ljus exempelvis färdas genom ett moln, innan det delas uppUsing the infrared (IR) spectral range when measuring stellar spectra is beneficial compared to using the optical range mainly when observing distant stars through the dust dense interstellar regions in the Galactic mid-plane. Methods to determine stellar parameters from IR spectra are, however, not fully developed yet because technological difficulties in creating reliable IR detectors have slowe

Sports facilities, in general, have the highest energy use in Sweden, compared with other buildings. Sports facilities are usually very wide and have a high ceiling height. This makes it hard for buildings as such to allow for the same daylight integration as in e.g. traditional office spaces. Electric lighting is very often used to supply the high illuminance demands inside sports halls. Since mo

Bakgrund: Aktivitetsengagemang är centralt för hälsa och välbefinnande, dock har personer med svår psykisk ohälsa svårt att engagera sig i aktiviteter. Inom dagens psykiatri arbetar arbetsterapeuter med aktivitetsengagemang, där det börjar läggas ett större fokus på att arbeta återhämtningsinriktat. Tidigare forskning visar på att aktivitetsengagemang kan kopplas till återhämtning, men trots dettaBackground: Occupational engagement is central for health and well-being, yet people with severe mental illness have difficulties engaging in activities. In modern psychiatric care, occupational therapists aim to improve occupational engagement, with an increasing focus on recovery-oriented interventions. Research shows that occupational engagement can be linked to recovery, however, there are few

In this study, we aim to apply and compare modified models for fake news detection, namely Two-level Convolutional Neural Network (TCNN) and Two-level Convolutional Neural Network with User Response (TCNN-UR) used in Qian et al. (2018) on social media news in Vietnamese. We also compare our best-fitted model performance to the best model in Hieu et al. (2020) to find how important the corpus size

Detta examensarbete har undersökt tillämpningen av förpackningar för färsk frukt och grönsaker, med fokus på onödiga förpackningar. Olika faktorer påverkar frukt och grönsaker efter skörd som är relevanta att beakta vid förvaring och hantering. Syftet har varit att undersöka hur användningen av förpackningar ser ut för frukt och grönsaker. Arbetet ska även utforska butikers och konsumenters syn This degree project has studied the use of packaging for fresh fruits and vegetables focusing on excess packaging. Different factors after harvest affect fruits and vegetables that are of relevance to consider when storing and handling these. The purpose of this study has been to find used. The approach on the subject from out how packaging for fruits and vegetables is grocery stores and consume

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is an environmentally positive building material with high stiffness and load-bearing capacity. In combination with a low self-weight, CLT is a beneficial material to use for the load-bearing structure of high-rise buildings. In this project, the lateral stabilization of a CLT building subjected to a wind load is analysed through several modelling approaches. The effec

How can openness, intuition and external creative tools be valuable assets to the creative process? In this thesis, I explore that question as it relates to three distinct perspectives: my reflections on my own approach, other artists’ thoughts on the subject and the composition of my orchestral piece "let me cry" (2022). My findings are that by integrating openness, intuition, and exte

This work provides an overview of transfer pricing itself, how the tax regulation of transfer pricing has changed in EU and the analysis of changes in revenue and profits of 5 different Transnational corporations from Denmark. The analysis was made by looking into annual reports of these corporations for more than a decade and comparing the result with the time of introduction of BEPS plan and the

Healthcare systems around the world are facing a multitude of challenges, mostly because of aging populations. The Covid-19 pandemic put further strain on the sector and has left many countries with a backlog of medical procedures, which further exacerbates the issues. New technological products and solutions are one way to relieve healthcare workers and enable more efficient care. Zymego is a com

This thesis concerns the successive use of fixed-term contracts under Clause 5 of the Framework Agreement in the sector of sports and whether such usage provides protection from dismissal for pregnant workers. This was done by using a legal dogmatic method in the field of EU law. The paper starts with identifying the role of sports in EU labour law. It was held that sports have a special standing

Kritskollor, eller stora flak av kritbergarter, transporterades subglacialt med den senaste inlandsisen reträtt och hittas idag delvis blottlagda längs den skånska sydkusten. Utanför Malmö utvanns högren krita från dessa flak fram till slutet av 1900-talet och var en viktig exportvara. Idag importeras en stor del av de renare karbonatbergarterna från bland annat europeiska länder för olika industrCretaceous chalk rafts were transported subglacially with the last ice sheet retreat and are today found partially exposed along the southern coast of Skåne. Outside Malmö, chalk was extracted from these rafts until the end of the 20th century, when it was an important export commodity. Today, a large portion of the purer carbonate rocks are imported from Europe and other countries for various ind

A product-variety growth model is presented, featuring regions with diverse basic input prices, intermediate good technologies with randomly distributed usage intensities for those inputs, and technology improvement with usage eventually leading to the spread of these technologies. Exponential long-term growth is derived in the specified model. The probability of new technologies being immediately

This thesis examines a generation taking over the workforce: Generation Z. The purpose is to assess how Gen Z is motivated, how that differs cross-culturally, and ways in which management can respond to maximise job satisfaction and motivation, thereby increasing top talent. Gen Z is a strongly intrinsically motivated group of young professionals who are changing the workforce. We found subtle dif
