Popular Abstract in Swedish Stärkelse är en miljövänlig och naturlig produkt som kan framställas ur växtriket. Stärkelse har många användningsområden inom livsmedelsindustrin såsom förtjockningsmedel och fettersättning men har även många icke livsmedelsindustriella användningsområden bl. a. i pappers-, kosmetika-, lim-, textil-, oljeborrning- och läkemedelsindustrin. Med kemiska, fysikaliska samt Starch is a plant-derived polysaccharide with many uses in different food and non-food applications. In this thesis, the production of two novel potato starch qualities, amylopectin and high-amylose, and the modifications and the characteristics of the produced plants and starches are described. The novel potato starch qualities will find uses in e.g. the paper, adhesive, textile and packing indus

The aim of this study is to describe how ”drama in training” is experienced by student nurses and nurse tutors as well as to describe whether the students feel that there is a connection between their participation in drama, their personal development and their own preparation for their future profession. The study´s starting point has been that the students need support with regard to their perso

Sweden is the only Scandinavian country that uses closed treatment institutions based on coercive measures within the child welfare system, on a large scale, for the education and treatment of young criminal offenders and drug users. In Sweden there are in 2002 some 30 “homes for specialized supervision” of varying sizes and degrees of specialization – all run by a national board of institutional

In ongoing research, several concepts of “next-generation” cross laminated timber (CLT) are being investigated aiming at creating innovative and optimized CLT-alike products. In the project InnoTLT (“Innovative Tailored LaminatedTimber”) one main aim is to show how today’s CLT production could be made more material efficient by introducing alternative geometries, including large gaps between lamin

Following the development of new materials and the continuous technical progress made in the construction and energy industries, district heating as a concept finds itself on the brink of a generational shift. One of the pioneering projects leading the way is the creation of Brunnshög, an modern and sustainable district under construction in the north-eastern end of the city of Lund, Sweden. The a

Background: Studies have shown that ambient air pollution is linked to preeclampsia (PE), possibly via generation of oxidative stress in the placenta. Telomere length and mitochondrial DNA copy number (mtDNAcn) are sensitive to oxidative stress damage.Objective: To study the association between prenatal exposure to ambient nitrogen oxides (NOx, a marker for traffic-related air pollution), and PE,

Traditionally, automatic control techniques arose due to need for automation in mechanical systems. These techniques rely on robust mathematical modelling of physical systems with the goal to drive their behaviour to desired set-points. Decades of research have successfully automated, optimized, and ensured safety of a wide variety of mechanical systems. Recent advancement in digital technology ha

Therapeutic antibodies are the fastest growing class of drugs but suffer from a crowded target-space where many antibodies, against a few targets, are developed in parallel. The aim of this thesis is to find methods to enable discovery of novel antibody-target combinations and thereby increase the target-space. A strategy to achieve this is to use phage display antibody libraries and selection on

Background: Pathological aggregation of tar DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) in the brain is the primary cause of many cases of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE). It is therefore imperative to establish empirical staging systems to characterize and distinguish stereotypical patterns and commo

The European Copernicus programme plans to install a constellation of multiple polar orbiting satellites (Copernicus Anthropogenic CO2 Monitoring Mission, CO2M mission) for observing atmospheric CO2 content with the aim to estimate fossil fuel CO2 emissions. We explore the impact of potential CO2M observations of column-averaged CO2 (XCO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and aerosols in a 200 × 200 km2 d

Using transition metals in organic synthesis has led to the discovery of new reactions. These novel reactions have enabled different valuable transformations to take place through short synthetic routes and most importantly using a small amount of the metal. This small amount is called a catalytic amount and the metal which is in the form of a complex (with an array of groups of atoms bonded to thNew palladium and nickel complexes based on unsymmetric PCN pincer ligands have been synthesized and fully characterized using different techniques. The substituents on the nitrogen side arm of the ligand have great influence on the cyclometallation and the reactivity of the new complexes particularly in case of nickel. The less sterically hindered PCNMe ligand enabled formation of the trivalent n

Förevarande uppsats syftar till att analysera godtagbarheten av en kriminali-sering av rymning från fängelse i svensk rätt. I den större delen av uppsatsen analyseras godtagbarheten utifrån de fem kriterier som satts upp i SOU 2013:38 Vad bör straffas? (Straffrättsutredningen). Därefter diskuteras huruvida det finns andra överväganden som behöver göras innan en eventuell kriminalisering beslutas. This essay aims to analyse the acceptability of a criminalisation of prison es-cape in Swedish law, based on the five criteria set out in SOU 2013:38 Vad bör straffas? (What should be punished?), called Straffrättsutredningen (The Criminal Justice Investigation). Furthermore, I discuss whether other consid-erations are needed before a criminalisation is decided. The discussions are based on the te

Purpose: To get a clearer picture of the structure and evolution of our Galaxy, astronomers are trying to reach further and further beyond the Solar neighborhood with their observations. The dust obscuration towards the center of the Milky Way necessitates the use of infrared wavelengths for this, and cold giants provide a particularly bright and thus useful target. However, any methods for analyz

Governments around the world have begun to adopt measures in support of electric vehicles. The supply push policies have been traditionally studied leaving the demand side innovation policy without much investigation. Therefore, policy makers lack institutional knowledge and policy experience. The demand side innovation policies have always been part of the public policy decisions but not part of

I den statliga utredningen, Ett snabbare bostadsbyggande, undersöktes hur utnyttjandet av byggrätter kunde effektiviseras. Underlaget var dock tämligen begränsat, vilket skapade idén till den här rapporten. I vilken utsträckning förekommer outnyttjade byggrätter och varför utnyttjas de isåfall inte? Syftet med denna rapport är att utreda om det finns outnyttjade byggrätter med ändamål flerbostadsIn the public report, Ett snabbare bostadsbyggande, a research was made to find out how the utilization of undeveloped building rights could be made more efficient. However, the material on which the research was based was found insufficient, which created the idea for this report. To what extent do undeveloped building rights occur and what are the reasons? The purpose of this report is to exami

Quantum computing has advanced rapidly throughout the past decade, both from a hardware and software point of view. A variety of algorithms have been developed that are suitable for the current generation of quantum devices, which are referred to as noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. Amongst them is the variational quantum algorithm, a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm that optimizes the p

Many scholars agree that current fast fashion system is highly unsustainable and causes many environmental and social challenges worldwide. Given this, the main aim of this thesis is to explore the concept of slow fashion and understand its potential benefits, contributing to sustainability within the current fashion system. On one hand, slow fashion represents an alternative production and consum

I samband med lantmäteriförrättningar där ersättningsbeloppet behöver framtas med hjälp av de värderingsmedel som Lantmäteriet eller utsedd värderingsman har att tillgå är det ytterst viktigt att ingångsparametrarna är korrekta. Då fastighetsregleringar där vinstfördelning blir aktuellt och där genomsnittsvärdeprincipen aktualiseras är det råtomtmarksvärdet som eftersöks. I värderingsutlåtandet reDuring land surveying operations, the amount of compensation needs to be calculated using the valuation means taken by the land surveyor or appointed appraiser. For this reason, it is important that input parameters are correct. As profit distribution is a pressing concern in relation to real estate regulations, raw land value is sought after. In this case, the responsible land surveyor reports fo
