In the pursuit of sustainable chemical production, feedstock diversification is essential. Lignosulfonates, a water-soluble aromatic byproduct of the sulfite pulping process, offer a green alternative for producing value-added compounds such as vanillin via oxidative depolymerization. However, current depolymerization processes are not comparable due to inconsistencies in feedstocks and a lack of
Eye movements originally made during memory formation are often spontaneously reproduced during retrieval, even in the absence of visual input, directing gaze back to the locations where goal-relevant episodic information was previously encountered. This behavior, known as gaze reinstatement, is thought to support the reactivation of episodic content associated with those locations (e.g., Johansso
Background: The multifactorial nature of chronic pain should be reflected in pain assessment. The aim of this observational study comparing samples from three generations assessed at different times was to present differences in pain, stress and mental well-being. Methods: Pain sites, widespread pain, stress (Perceived Stress Scale-4) and mental well-being (30-item General Health Questionnaire) we
Mutations causing Parkinson’s disease (PD) give diverse pathological phenotypes whose cellular correlates remain to be determined. Those with PRKN mutations have significantly earlier selective vulnerability of dopamine neurons, those with SNCA mutations have increased alpha-synuclein deposition, while those with LRRK2 mutations have additional deposition of tau. Yet all three mutation types are i
The main purpose of this master thesis was to test a novel approach of finding leads for new pharmaceuticals, by using Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) in combination with Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC). Put in a more concrete way, the objective was to find a lead for a better human neutrophil elastase inhibitor. The plan was to take advantage of the fact that the tripeptide Valine-Proline
Denna uppsats utreder hur finansiella produkter klassificeras i inkomstslaget kapital, och vilka skatterättsliga skillnader som finns mellan de olika kategorierna i inkomstslaget. Utifrån praxis och inkomstskattelagens systematik redogörs för hur en avyttring av kryptovalutan Bitcoin ska klassificeras och beskattas. Gällande rätt analyseras sedan mot bakgrund av principen om likformighet och skattThis paper examines how financial products are classified within the capital gains bracket and which tax differences follow from such classification. Based on practice and the methodology of the Income tax act, the paper describes how a divestment of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin should be classified and taxed. The result is thereafter analyzed from the perspective of the principle of uniformity and
Rooted in the environmental movement, the climate movement in Sweden is on the rise and increasingly gaining support in its fight against climate change and its unequal impacts. If successful, the movement can play an important role in changing society. There is increased awareness and proof of the gendered effects of climate change, but awareness of the role of gender in the climate movement seem
This is a comparative case study of Sweden and Brazil regarding managerial challenges and opportunities in the nonprofit sector of both countries.

Additionally, it explores the main challenges and opportu
Detta examensarbete undersöker den nuvarande situationen för cyklande barn i Sverige. Den undersöker ett internationellt och historiskt perspektiv, vilket ger jämförbar information om säkerheten för cyklande barn i andra samhällen. Variationer över tiden i totalt cyklad längd studeras och dess inverkan på säkerheten är noga övervägd. Minskade cykelnivåer visar sig vara en avgörande faktor för säkeThis master thesis investigates the current safety situation for biking children in Sweden. It investigates an international and a historical perspective, which gives comparable information about bike safety for children in other societies. Alterations over time in total biked length is studied and its impact on the safety are considered. Reduction in levels of biking are found to be a vital facto
As many societies are digitally transforming, citizens need to adapt and acquire digital skills to participate. Research has shown that low levels of digital skills can increase digital exclusion, and that skills needed to participate in society should be addressed in digital policy. The European Union (EU) with its many citizens has the potential to affect them all through its policies. In this t
Digital technologies and their significance to society have caused their existence and impact to be referred to as entailing a digital revolution. For businesses, digitalization is the use of digital technologies to create new business models and value-adding activities. The use of digital technologies can in turn result in possible improvements in several areas e.g., productivity. The possible ou
Denna studie har för avsikt att undersöka hur nuvarande och potentiella konsumenter till H&M, ett fast fashion-varumärke, kan ställa sig till och resonera kring digital kommunikation om ett CSR-samarbete med den idéburna organisationen WWF. Två varumärken vars verksamheter motsäger varandra. Studien utgår ifrån ett ontologiskt socialkonstruktivistiskt perspektiv och ett epistemologiskt gadamerThe purpose of this paper is to examine how current and potential consumers of H&M, a fast fashion brand, interpret digital communication regarding their CSR collaboration with the organization WWF. Two brands whose operations contradict. The study is rooted in an ontological social constructivist perspective and an epistemological Gadamerian hermeneutic perspective. Based on the study's t
Studien syftar till att undersöka hur rytmikpedagoger beskriver och förhåller sig till utforskande i sin undervisning och hur utforskande tas i uttryck i deras rytmikundervisning. Studien syftar också till att undersöka hur rytmikpedagogerna relaterar lärande till utforskande och vilka faktorer som kan påverkar detta. För studien genomfördes fem semistrukturerade intervjuer med rytmikpedagoger, viThis study aims to examine how teachers of eurythmics describe and relate to the concept of exploration in their teaching, as well as examine how this exploration takes place in their teaching. The study also examines how teachers relate learning to exploration and what factors may have an impact on this. For the study, five semi-structured interviews were done with eurythmic teachers, who teach a

It can have a great impact on our greenhouse gas emissions, by deciding important things as transport and energy planning. This study aims to examine the role of municipal comprehensive planning in the work to reduce greenhouse gases. The study is based on a case study of Lund municipality, car
With regards to increased research on the formative use of assessment rubrics and its effects on performance, this study highlights the need for more research on rubrics’ effects on different kinds of motivation. Therefore, the study aims to investigate possible effects of implementing explicit assessment rubrics on L2 motivation in an EFL classroom. The study is quasi-experimental, which means th
This study focuses on the topic of education and economic growth. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between education and economic growth amongst the OECD member countries. What sets this study apart from a lot of the research is the inclusion of both quantitative and qualitative measures of education. This is done by using theory and previous research as a foundation to con
The purpose of this study is to examine if the cognitive load that is induced from different degrees of text complexity in scientific abstracts has an influence on how often the study will get cited. While the influence of cognitive load is well documented in research of activities such as attention allocation, decision making and reading comprehension, it is not known whether such effects can als
Food waste, within the wider phenomenon of resource waste, has become a global issue due to its direct impact on climate change. Food redistribution via food banks is highlighted as a waste reduction strategy because it not only tackles the environmental impact from food production, but also provides food security to vulnerable people by redistributing the discarded food from food industries to so
