Asbestos mining and production manufacturing infringes on the right to live free from toxic pollution. Though as this right is not yet formally codified, this thesis will make a case for its recognition and concurrently push for a global ban of this fibrous set of naturally occurring minerals that are extremely hazardous to the human body. Highlighting the grave harms of asbestos as a benchmark th

The use of monoclonal antibodies in cancer treatment is on the rise demanding therapeutic antibodies to novel targets. To properly analyze these therapeutic candidates, state-of-the-art control antibodies are important to minimize false-negative and false-positive signals. The current negative control antibody at BioInvent International displays increased background signals, resulting in more stri

Today rubber can be found in many different applications, such as vibration dampers, tyres, clothes and gaskets. Two different types of rubbers are used today, namely the natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is made of a milky substance called latex, which is obtained from special trees found in tropical countries. Synthetic rubber is also made from latex, but the latex is obtained

Amelogenin is a major constituent of enamel matrix protein that is responsible for the development of tooth enamel. Due to its self-assembly and physicochemical properties, amelogenin has been widely used as one of the natural biomaterials. Amelogenin, along with the other enamel matrix proteins have been known for its regenerative properties. The purpose of this project is to evaluate the enginee

Despite the increasing level and number of techniques deployed to generate more robust, better-producing microbial cell factories for production of chemicals, the number of products that reach commercial feasibility is still very low. Many hurdles come along the way as it has been observed that strains designed in the laboratory do not perform as expected in industrial-scale bioreactors. For insta

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a disease that threatens 8% of the population in Sweden. It is a problem without a scientifically proven reason, but with a solution.

De ekonomiska, logistiska och realpolitiska ramar som byggandet utgår ifrån är inte alltid en utgångspunkt i våra projekt som arkitekter. Istället möter de dessa ramar på vägen mot förverkligande, och tvingas omformas, ibland utan arkitektens medverkan, för att passera igenom. Tydligast märks kanske detta i bostadsbyggandet, en sektor där arkitekturen gränsar till ett politikområde med ideologiska

Wireless communication nowadays is playing a vital role in real-life data transmission. This communication can be machine-to-machine or human to machine communication. In each of these categories, reliability and low latency data transmission are critical factors of success transmission in case the number of devices in a certain area increases. In this thesis, I mainly investigate on smart manufac
