The consumption of plant-based, food alternatives is increasing globally. Yet, the digestion of plant proteins is hindered by various antinutritional and external factors. Therefore, delving into the extent of plant protein digestibility in the human body becomes essential, alongside efforts to enhance this process. The main aim of this present work was to determine the digestibility of plant-base
There are many factors that are involved in fostering intrapreneurship in a company and knowledge management is one important process in achieving that. A previous study related to intrapreneurs’ knowledge management has proposed a framework that discusses knowledge management in various situations, focusing on exploitation, exploration, or in between, in the context of intrapreneurship. Building
Transylvania’s countryside, characterized by a mostly agrarian society with a rich multicultural heritage is being threatened by Romania’s tendencies of chaotic modernization and rapid urbanization. This research aims to find a viable solution for sustaining the cultural, natural, and social environment in rural Transylvania, by analysing the potential of tourism development. Integrated Rural Tour
Local human rights defenders play a significant role in the realization and enjoyment of human rights. Working alone or in association with others, they peacefully advocate for and promote fundamental freedoms and human rights for themselves and for their fellow citizens. In the process, they document violations; raise awareness to rights holders about the rights to which they are entitled; remind
Biståndshandläggare inom äldreomsorgen möter ibland äldre personer som lider av en demenssjukdom. Lagstiftningar och riktlinjer för hur arbetet med demenssjuka ska bedrivas är vaga och delvis motstridiga. Å ena sidan beskrivs vikten av självbestämmande i lagstiftningen och å andra sidan har biståndshandläggare ett ansvar att se till att ingen äldre kommer till skada eller självförsummar sig. Syfte
The unique perspective offered by unoccupied aerial systems (UASs) has great potential for enhancing emergency and disaster response (EDR). Through a scoping exercise of research around the use of UASs for situational awareness and interviews with practitioners, this paper assesses the current benefits offered by UASs for situational awareness in EDR and identifies and discusses four areas of cons
Two different topologies of power amplifiers (PAs) are designed in the frequency range 130-174.8 GHz for use in backhaul transmitters. These are the pseudo-differential common source (PDCS) and the single-ended stacked amplifier topologies. The PAs are designed in Cadence AWR design environment with virtual source models, implemented in Verilog-A, of InGaAs nanowire transistors using a 20 nm gate
Architecture greatly influences people‘s lives regarding health, stability, and education and is crucial for economic and social development. This architectural thesis project aims to improve the living conditions of a marginalized community in a rural Tanzanian village, Kisarawe, through a design proposal. It analyzes the potential of humanitarian architecture from the international, European, an
Bakgrund: Oro är ett vanligt inslag under magnetresonanstomografiundersökningar. Det trånga utrymmet kombinerat med det höga ljudet och att behöva ligga stilla är bidragande faktorer till att patienter blir oroliga och kan känna sig klaustrofobiska. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att undersöka hur röntgensjuksköterskan kan lindra vuxna patienters oro i samband med magnetresonanstomografi med hjä
En stor del inom utvecklingen av nya produkter är test och validering. Denna process kräver användning av dyra och stora testsystem. På grund av dessa faktorer är det viktigt att maximera användningen av dessa testsystem. Till följd av detta har ett övervakningssystem utvecklats av test- och validerings-avdelningen på BorgWarner i Landskrona som kan läsa driftstatus (Till exempel på och av) av visA large part of developing products is the testing and validation of the new products. This process requires expensive test systems and a great deal of time and space. Because of these factors it is very important to maximize the usage of the test systems. Therefore, a monitoring system has been developed by the test and validation department at BorgWarner Landskrona that can read the operational
This research investigates the subject of Data Democratization (DD), the effect it has on fact-based decision-making, and how users perceive this within the organization. DD is a fairly new initiative, empowering more employees with increased access to data to improve their use of it and to a greater extent be able to make decisions based on data. The idea for this paper originated from the lack o
Den digitala omställningen har ökat genom åren och har fungerat till en fördel för företag och organisationer generellt. Hastigheten på transformationstillväxten har bibehållits i nutid, vilket har resulterat i att mjukvarusystem utvecklas kontinuerligt. Som en naturlig effekt av detta fenomen, bör aktuella företag alltid ligga i framkant för att förbli konkurrenskraftiga. Studier har visat att pr
Based on the Spain’s annual and quarterly time series from 1980 to 2020, this paper presents the first case study on the dynamic effects of fiscal consolidation episodes on income distribution and the mechanisms driving the specific dynamics of the distribution. By estimating impulse response functions via Local Projections by Jordà (2005), I find supportive evidence of the increase in income ineq
The possibility of being able to examine the inside of the human body is the foundation of today’s medical diagnostics. This can be done through different imaging systems, where ultrasound is one of the most important imaging methods used. Ultrasound does not endanger the patient during examination, unlike other imaging systems that use ionizing radiation or strong magnetic fields. In order to obt
The aim of this empirical study was to find out which characteristics, behaviors, and drives high-performing women have in common in order to illuminate why they have become successful in their work. The aim also included getting insights into some of the challenges that these women meet. Participants were fifteen high-performing women who work in business and academia in Sweden. Semi-structured,
This thesis discusses a rather contentious issue of how copyright law possesses musical works nowadays. It is essentially argued in the thesis that current copyright law appears to be too restrictive, leaving not enough space for creativity in the musical world. In this regard, the issue related to musical works are mainly analysed through the prism of the idea-expression dichotomy. One of the gen
In adaptive deep brain stimulation, a treatment for motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, the target of the stimulus is usually in the sub-thalamic nucleus or the globus pallidus. In this thesis, a new stimulus target called reticular thalamus is investigated in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease. The responses to the stimulus were recorded from both local field potentials and action potentials f
The nuclear reaction 10B(n,alpha)7Li* was utilised to develop a neutron detection system. This system has the purpose of being used to detect the thermal neutron radiation emitted by spent nuclear fuel, before it is transported to a final repository. This to investigate the content of the fuel-containing capsules, primarily to ensure non-proliferation of radioactive materials in the nuclear waste
Bakgrund: Developmental Coordination Disorder [DCD] är en motorisk funktionsnedsättning som påverkar förmågan att utföra vardagliga aktiviteter, vilket kan leda till aktivitetsbegränsningar och delaktighetsinskränkningar. Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance [CO-OP] är en arbetsterapeutisk, uppgiftsorienterad intervention med fokus på kognitiva strategier för ett förbättrat akti
Cancer is a widespread and commonly fatal disease in constant need of new treatments. Traditionally, new pharmaceuticals have been tested in 2D models. This is not ideal, as 2D environments do not reflect the in vivo milieu of the cells. Instead, it has been increasingly suggested to implement 3D models, which are thought to be more predictive of in vivo responses to treatment. It has been shown t
