Tuberculosis (TB) and other mycobacterial infections have become more difficult to treat since the strains need to be screened for resistance. Furthermore, the half-year long treatment time could harm hepatocytes as a side effect of the treatment. This calls for discovery of new compounds for a successful treatment. One such promising peptide was recently discovered and called NZX. In this study
Barley naturally contains high amounts of dietary fibre, however it is not widely used in health promoting purposes. Barley is traditionally used for malting in beer and whisky and it is often overlooked as a candidate for other applications. In this study five barley varieties are evaluated from a technical and a nutritional point of view. The aim of the study is to conduct a literature review re
Optogenetics is unfolding new ways for us to study the nervous system and could one day be a standard approach to treat neurological diseases like epilepsy. To selectively study the effects on a subcellular level, microscopic light sources are needed. Nanostructure, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) can realize this criteria but processing to connect and protect them is necessary before any fruitful op
Baxter develops medical devices that take advantage of reverse osmosis to purify water that’s being used in dialysis fluids. Reverse osmosis is a commonly used water purification process that removes unwanted particles from the water. The membrane that is used to purify the water has a temperature dependency that changes the performance of the membrane when the temperature is changed. When loweri

Detta exjobb ämnar at utreda och utveckla en ny stöttande fot till Alfa Lavals packningsförsedda värmeväxlare. Målet var att ta fram en design som kan klara av allvarliga externa laster genererade av till exempel ett anslutande rörsystem eller jordIn the process of making the industry more energy efficient, the gasketed plate heat exchanger has an important role as it effectively transfers heat between fluids. This master thesis aims to investigate and develop a new supportive foot for Alfa Laval’s gasketed plate heat exchangers. The goal was to present a design that can sustain severe external loads induced by for example the connecting pi
When being in a noisy environment, a normal hearing person can manage to sort out background noise and focus on the attended source. This is something that a person with impaired hearing will struggle with, even when wearing a hearing aid. Research for developing intelligent hearing aids has not yet come up with a solution for solving this problem and more research is needed. This thesis uses data
Since its first publishing in 1954, The Lord of the Rings has been read by millions, and it has become the subject of many scholarly studies. However, one of its most famous characters, Gollum, has only been marginally examined. The aim of this essay is to counteract precisely that and examine how Gollum exists within, and in his own way embodies, the theological and moral system of The Lord of th
The aim of this study was to explore social workers' experiences and views of administrative tasks within the social services. Former research points to an explosion of administrative tasks for professions such as social workers, doctors and teachers, due to governance reforms and cutbacks in the welfare sector resulting in fewer assistants and secretaries. For this study, ethnographic fieldwo

All around in our bodies – inside and on top of cells, as well as in the extracellular matrix (ECM) – complex carbohydrate chains known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are to be found. While some of their properties are known, many functions and biosynthetic pathways remain undiscovered. Heparin is one of the GAGs whose function in the body is not completely known, however, it has been used as an ant
I början av 2020 kom Världshälsoorganisationen att tillkännage coronavirusets utbrott som en global nödsituation. Viruset kom sedan att utvecklas till en pandemi och kom att påverka många globala marknader. Bostadsmarknaden har sett en kraftig uppgång i många länder efter den initiala epidemin. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka effekterna av COVID-19, och efterföljande åtgärder som togs, på The global emergency declared by the World Health Organization in early 2020 due to the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 would later develop into a pandemic that has since affected global markets at large. Though its affects have been varied in nature and magnitude, housing markets in many countries have seen a boom since the initial outbreak. This paper seeks to assess how COVID-19, and the domestic measur
In the past years, antigenderism has become a growing coalition that has moved from being a monopoly of the Vatican to being picked up by Catholic associations and politicians, quickly reaching the general public. The word “gender” has become an empty signifier to attack queer and feminist agendas, sexual and reproductive rights but also gender studies scholars and courses. A big role in the sprea

Cameras mounted on boats and in other similar environments can be hard to use if waves and wind cause unwanted motions of the camera which disturbs the desired image. However, this is a problem that can be fixed by applying mechanical image stabilization which is the goal of this thesis. The mechanical image stabilization is achieved by controlling two stepper motors in a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camer
I dagens samhälle föreligger det en ökad framväxt av kunskapsbaserat företag. Arbetstagarna blir och är företagets tillgångar. För att skydda sina tillgångar använder arbetstagarna vanligen konkurrensbegränsande klausuler i anställningsavtal. En av dessa klausuler är värvningsförbudet.

Efter en lång period där många bränder härjade i Sveriges storstäder förbjöds höga trähus. Denna lag upphörde att gälla i mitten på 90-talet och sedan dess har intresset för höga trähus ökat. Detta har resulterat i att behovet av bra ljudisoleringslösningar har blivit större. På grund av det växande intresset för miljöfrågor har det blivit viktigare för företag att hitta nya lösningar för att taIn the last years, the interest in high-rise timber framed building has gone up resulting in an increased demand for good solutions regarding sound insulation. Due to the worldwide growing interest in environmental issues, it has become of greater importance for companies to find ways to take care of their residue, instead of throwing it away.
