The transition of heavy machinery systems in agriculture is becoming increasingly urgent due to evolving regulations, market volatility in fossil fuels, and the imperative to achieve decarbonization objectives in the sector. Agricultural machinery has recently experienced an increase in automation, resulting in a higher implementation of electric actuators and systems in agricultural machinery. Th
Evolution of the aerobic iron oxidation metabolism Every living organism needs energy to survive and reproduce. We humans get our energy from food, mainly in the form of fats, sugars, protein, and perhaps some alcohol. Bacteria and other microorganisms are able to use other sources such as light and metals. In this master thesis I aim to find out how the cellular machinery needed for the aerobic
Social and technological innovations are commonly seen as either being induced from the ‘top-down’ – e.g., by policymakers – or evolving from the ‘bottom-up’ – e.g., by consumers. Instead, a ‘middle-out’ perspective (MOP) focuses on agents of change that are located in the middle, between the top and the bottom. Janda and Parag (2013) and Parag & Janda (2014) describe how middle actors include
Människan lever i samspel med en kolossal mängd bakterier. De finns på vår hud, i våra munnar och i våra tarmar. Detta samspel är en viktig del i vårat liv eftersom de bakterier som finns i våra tarmar har en viktig roll i nedbrytning av den näring vi får i oss. Dessa bakterier kan bryta ner olika typer av långa sockerkedjor som finns i växter som vi själva inte kan och låter oss därmed använda meThe human gut contains a vast number of bacteria. These bacteria allow us to digest the complex glycans that are part of our diet but we ourselves cannot digest. Among these bacteria one of the genera that is a major constituent is Bacteroidetes. One of the distinguishing features of this genus is its polysaccharide utilizing loci (PULs), clusters of genes for degradation of specific glycans and e
Denna studie ämnar att redogöra potentialen för energigemenskaper i Näsby, Kristianstad. Detta utreds i arbetet genom att undersöka om lokalnätet kan avlastas, samt om elnätskunderna kan erhålla kostnadsbesparingar. Rapporten är ett examensarbete för en civilingenjörsexamen i maskinteknik på Lunds Tekniska Högskola, och utförs tillsammans med C4 Energi AB. Studien omfattar en litteraturstudie som The aim of this study is to examine the potential of energy communities in Näsby, Kristianstad, and more specifically the values they may provide the involved parties. This report is a Master’s thesis written at Lunds Tekniska Högskola, in collaboration with C4 Energi AB. The study involves a literature study with the purpose of determining in what form an energy community could be constructed in
The “Warburg effect”, a metabolic adaptation observed in dividing cells, involves a shift from mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation to cytoplasmic glucose metabolism. This metabolic process is characterized by increased cellular uptake of glucose and glutamine, elevated intracellular pH and sodium levels, enhanced protection against oxidative stress, altered autophagy, and increased lactate pro
Generation and characterization of functional nanostructured magnetic materials The goal of the project is to produce and characterize functional magnetic materials with tailored nanoscale composition and morphology through controlled self-assembly of nanoparticles generated using a physical technique. The generated materials will be characterized using electron microscopy, magnetometry, and synch

Enzymes are often considered a green approach next to conventional fossil-based chemicals helping us on the margin towards a low-impact society. While enzyme catalysed reactions are low environmental impact technologies, their production is not. In this study, a comparative life cycle assessment of different recombinant enzyme manufacturing strategies quantifies and evaluates the contribution of d
Det finns planer på att bygga ett energilager i berget vid Önneslöv nära Dalby i Skåne. Berggrunden utgörs av en del av Romeleåsen och består huvudsakligen av gnejs med inslag av amfibolit och diabasgångar. Området ligger omedelbart söder om Sydstens stora bergtäkt, där det framgår att berget till stora delar är kraftigt uppsprucket med lervittrade zoner av olika storlek. I samband med byggande ge
This study aims to identify barriers to small wind energy in Argentina, and provide recommendations for Argentine stakeholders and policymakers for promoting the development of small wind. Argentina faces a serious energy challenge with its high dependence on fossil fuels (especially natural gas) in the face of rising global prices and decreasing reserves, challenges in domestic production and exp
We focus our research on polymers for energy and sustainability. The activities span across macromolecular design, synthesis and characterization, polymer self-assembly, and material structure and properties. We are especially motivated by the global challenges concerning energy and sustainability that drive the research for new multifunctional and high-performing polymer materials. This requires

”Hållbar energi för alla” är EU:s sjunde mål för hållbar utveckling och inkluderar en ökning av förnybar energiproduktion i den globala energimixen. Mycket av ansvaret ligger på energisektorn att transformera och få fram lösningar för en mer hållbar framtid. Utvecklingen går mot minskad decentraliserad produktion och en ökad andel förnybara energikällor som vind- och solenergi. Detta kräver nya nä
Tack vare solen och geotermisk värme har marken två naturliga källor till värmeenergi, och p.g.a. trögheten att ändra temperatur har marken en jämnare temperaturvariation än luften. Detta är gynnsamt för den som vill utnyttja geoenergi. Detta är en förnyelsebar energikälla som fått allt mer uppmärksamhet på marknaden de senaste åren. Under begreppet förnyelsebar geoenergi ligger två olika metoder;Because of the sun and geothermal heat the ground has two natural recourses for heat energy, and since the ground changes temperature slower than the air it has a more even temperature fluctuation. This is positive for the use of geothermal energy which is a renewable method that has been given more attention lately due to it positive environmental effects. The term renewable geothermal energy in
