In the present study, the enzyme thymidine kinase 1 from tomato (ToTK1) was expressed in E.coli and purified to near homogeneity by means of affinity chromatography. However, purified ToTK1 of bacterial origin displayed no substantial catalytic activity. Expression was also attempted in insect cells using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). Significant TK activities were detected in t
The relationship between business cycles and mortality has been a highly debated subject in the field of economics. The majority of previous studies, using the unemployment rate as the main proxy for macroeconomic conditions, have found ambiguous effects largely depending on how the effect is estimated. This thesis follows the methodology used by Ruhm (2000), but instead applies aggregate data for
This bachelor thesis shows how a mobile application can be designed to have the potential to induce its users to change their energy consumption and how the application can be designed to induce the users to return to the application. The project was carried out on behalf of- and in cooperation with Öresundskraft AB. The goal of the project was to create an application that would be used by the cu

In recent years, different methods for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size have been developed. This has been done in order to investigate if the size of the fat globules have any impact on the product functionality. The purpose of this master thesis was to develop a method for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size and with focu
This thesis covers specification and development of a distributed measurement system intended for CAN bus. It was completed at Scania CV, Södertälje in collaboration with Lund University. The goal of the thesis is to specifiy and develop a distributed measurement system that helps Scania with acquisition of functional and electrical data. Several topics are adressed such as filtering, at what spee
The research interest of this Master’s thesis is public librarians’ work life. The purpose of the essay is to examine public librarians’ experiences of work enjoyment, their valuations of work enjoyment and work motivation factors, respectively. The research was done through a web-based survey that was mediated via the e-mailing list “Biblist” that reaches the majority of Sweden’s librarians. The
Kågeröd is a village in the municipality of Svalöv with about 1500 inhabitants. The village has only one remaining grocery store, Coop Konsum, and the store is currently in a financial struggle due to to the high rate of crime that has affected the store during the past six months. When the inhabitants of Kågeröd found out that the store, which functions as a social meeting point, was threatened t
Drought is one of the most costly disasters worldwide. The complexity of nonlinear relationships between drought variables and drought severity during drought events poses significant challenges for accurate drought monitoring and prediction. Drought research in Morocco has been dominated by linear and conventional statistical methods, such as the pearson correlation. Although some earlier researc
This thesis explores how sustainable entrepreneurs adapt their motivation and identity amid the emotional, moral, and strategic tensions of building purpose driven ventures. While previous research has examined motivation and identity separately, little attention has been paid to their interdependence, particularly in high uncertainty environments where values and viability collide. Integrating Se
This thesis explores the classification of savannah trees using EnMAP hyperspectral and Sentinel-2 multispectral satellite data using a Random Forest classifier. The study aimed to assess if the increase in spectral information from the hyperspectral data gives an increase in classification performance, to find the advantages and limitations to hyperspectral data compared to multispectral data and
Myoelectric prosthetics utilize machine learning(ML) algorithms to translate surface electromyography(sEMG) signal patterns into movement, allowing patients to easily control their prosthesis. While the use of conventional ML algorithms has been effective within these prosthetics, challenges still remain in terms of classification accuracy and computation speed. It was hypothesized that Kolmogorov
Nondestructive assaying (NDA) is an important step in ensuring the safe handling of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste. The assaying techniques require the use of ionizing radiation detectors to determine the activity of said fuel. One candidate detector for such use is the cerium-activated LaBr3 inorganic crystal scintillator. This scintillator offers excellent resolution, decay times and l
Sweden has in the past decade embarked on a journey to rebuild the concept of ‘total defence’. The crisis management system led by the Swedish Civil Contingency Agency has become all-the-more involved in the civil defense, with the Swedish Armed Forces responsible for military defense. The present thesis aims to explore the topic of gender and language in Sweden’s total defense discourse to uncove
Impact investing is a recently emerged field which aims to combine the goal of achieving financial returns with positive environmental or social impact. The documented loss of biodiversity has caused the emergence of many corporate environmental impact reporting frameworks, which have sometimes been criticized for their lack of biodiversity-outcome indicators. This study aims to take stock of the
The objective of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of constructing temporary warehouse halls using glulam (glued laminated timber) frames, as well as to explore alternative solutions to PVC fabric for roofing and walls. The background is an increasing demand for temporary and flexible ware- house structures across several industries, along with a growing interest in environmentally fr
Deforestation is one of the most significant environmental challenges, with close links to global issues such as biodiversity loss and climate change. The European Union Deforestation-free Products Regulation (EUDR) introduces rigorous due diligence obligations for companies placing forest-risk commodities and derived products on the European market, intending to halt global deforestation. Despite
