Motivation: Proteomics is the large-scale study of all the proteins found in a cell, tissue or organism. In the last few years, and thanks to the development of mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, proteomics has led the research in several fields, ranging from medicine to agriculture. In order to reconstruct the amino acid sequence de novo protein sequencing can be used. It uses the protein’s mo

In an extensive analysis of seven coastal sites that are spread across the East and West coast of southern Sweden, animal economy and specialised hunting is at the forefront of interpreting the subsistence strategy and mobility in Mesolithic hunter-gatherer societies.

Enligt senaste IPCC-rapporten står världen inför ett stort klimatproblem. Flera organisationer arbetar aktivt på en global och nationell nivå för att bromsa in klimatförändringarna. Strävan mot klimatneutralitet är redan idag högst relevant inom byggnadssektorn för att nå målet om ett klimatneutralt samhälle år 2045. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka möjligheten att bygga till ett klimaAccording to the latest IPCC report, the world is facing a major climate problem. Several organizations are actively working at a global and national level to slow down climate change.
