Nanoparticles used as drug delivery vehicles for small and large active drug molecules is a highly sought-after area of research. Nanoparticles made using recombinant proteins prove to be more beneficial as they are biocompatible and biodegradable, however only a few proteins can be considered as their availability and stability are not known. One such protein that has the potential to form nanopa

The regularization of forcibly displaced migrants is promoted by NGOs and intergovernmental organizations as a good practice in migration policy. Regularization of forcibly displaced migrants increases their protection, facilitates their access to necessary services, increases their resiliency, and provides access to the formal labor market. Furthermore, providing forced migrants the right to work

The number of diplomatic actors that use social media platforms to communicate with the publics has increased in the past years. Yet, these communicative approaches are still poorly researched. Moreover, the few studies from diplomacy and the ones from communication that explore two-way communication on social media present contradictions. If scholars from diplomacy present dialogue as a taken for

Bakgrund: Ensamhet och social isolering är ett ökande folkhälsoproblem som många arbetsterapeuter möter i sin yrkesutövning. Det finns arbetsterapeutiska interventioner som stödjer social delaktighet för att motverka ensamhet och isolering bland äldre. En aktuell sammanställning av kunskapsläget som belyser vad den nyaste forskningen visar att arbetsterapeutiska interventioner kan bidra med för atBackground: Loneliness and social isolation is an increasing public health problem that many occupational therapists meet within their clinical practice. There are occupational therapy interventions supporting social participation to counteract loneliness and isolation amongst older adults. However, an overview of the latest research findings of occupational therapy interventions’ contributions fo

This research aimed to explore the sense of touch within the discipline of architecture. While haptic stimulation has been studied within architectural theory, the sense of touch remains underrepresented within the practical side of the discipline. To increase the accessibility of the knowledge necessary for representation within architectural practice, there was a need for further study. This has

When coworkers express what they are genuinely thinking, it can have positive implications for an organization, but they do not always feel encouraged to do so. As internal social media (ISM) is an emerging platform within organizations, it can offer coworkers a space where they can express their voice. The purpose of this research is therefore to explore how coworkers communicate on internal soci

This is a material experiment on the reaction between the wax liquid and water. I first saw the reaction between wax liquid and water by coincidence, then I decided to dig it so I took it as my master thesis. In this thesis, a rigorous and scientific research process was used in my perceptual material experiment. I documented every detail so that I could rationally summarize an analyze it. The g

Turbo systems have long been implemented into vehicles to increase the specific power. Increasing the pressure for conventional vehicles decreases the mass of the engine and increases the efficiency. Conventional vehicles do however produce carbon dioxide emissions which have become an increasing issue that needs a solution. One possible solution is the fuel cell utilizing hydrogen as fuel. This r

Dagens signalregelverk ställer krav på en minsta längd för reserverat spåravsnitt bortom slutpunkt för rörelseväg till ett annat fordon i rörelse. Detta kallas för skyddsavstånd och krav som ställs på dess längd gör det möjligt att tillåta samtidiga rörelser på en driftplats vilken har positivt påverkan på kapaciteten. Skyddsavstånd kan i vissa fall anses vara för restriktiv och kapacitetssänThe current signalling regulations require a minimum length of reserved track beyond the end point of the train’s path to another moving vehicle. This is known as safety overlap and the requirement for its length allows simultaneous train movements to be permitted at the station which has a positive impact on capacity. Length requirements may in some cases be considered too restrictive and ca

Skolan är en viktig arena i unga transpersoners liv där de spenderar en stor del av sin tid. Tidigare forskning visar dock att det ofta saknas faktorer för en trygg och transinkluderande skola. Skolor i Sverige har ett tydligt uttalat ansvar att hantera detta problem, vilket är där fokus kommer vara i denna studie. Syftet är att undersöka hur grund- och gymnasieskolan lyckas och misslyckas i att b

Participation, at its most basic level, refers to individuals taking part in choices that affect their lives. Through participation people can have a chance to observe and identify their opportunities and strategies for action and build solidarity to effect change. In relation to that, the study of participatory design is a research field that has been actively discussed for many years, which incl

In recent years the trend of personalization in political communication has gained more attention from academic scholars. The phenomenon of personalization of politics means that political leaders gain more focus at the expense of political parties. As personalization can negatively affect parliamentary democracies, therefore the field needs additional research. The main focus of research in relat

Denna studie undersöker fördrivning av socialbidragstagare, ett fenomen som uppmärksammades i media hösten 2020 under namnet ”social dumpning”, vilket beskrev hur kommuner runt om i landet genom socialtjänsten aktivt tvingar personer i behov av ekonomiskt bistånd att flytta till andra kommuner. Genom intervjuer med anställda i kommuner som tagit emot fördrivna socialbidragstagare samt civilsamhällThis study examines displacement of people in need of social assistance in Sweden, a phenomenon that received media attention during the fall of 2020 under the name “social dumping”, that describes how municipalities around the country actively forces people to move to other municipalities. Through interviews with employees within municipalities who have received displaced people in need of social

Världen är för närvarande på väg mot 3°C av global uppvärmning pga globala koldioxidutsläpp. Kunskapen som krävs för att minska utsläppen existerar, men de radikala sociala och politiska förändringar som behövs sker hittills inte snabbt nog. Nuvarande politiska och ekonomiska paradigm hyllar koldioxidprissättning som antingen den enda lösningen, alternativt som en del av lösningen. Denna uppsats tThe world is currently heading for 3°C of global warming due to global excessive carbon emissions, and while science is producing the knowledge necessary to combat it, the radical change needed is not coming fast enough. Current political and economic paradigms hail carbon pricing as either the, or part of the solution to our carbon emissions problem. This thesis looks at the available (although l

Tiny brains make sophisticated navigational decisions Did you know that your brain is made up of 100 billion neurons? That´s as many as there are stars in the Milky Way. This makes the human brain, without a doubt, the most complex system on earth. Above all the brain controls behavior. But how can we even begin to understand these hundreds of trillions of interconnections that lead us to a sp

Prevalens av värd för malariaparasit hos fåglar i de svenska fjällen Fågelmalaria orsakas av protozoer, en parasit som tillhör släkterna Haemoproteus, Plasmodium samt Leucozytozoon. Dessa parasiter har utvecklats tillsammans med fåglar i miljontals år och skapat olika varianter. Forskare har estimerat att det finns lika många malariavarianter som det finns fågelarter runt om i världen. Med en st

En trollsländas guide till att undvika trakasserier Det finns många arter där individer inom arten har olika färger. Färgen kan skilja sig mellan hanar och honor, men även mellan individer av samma kön. Trollsländan "Större kustflickslända" är en av dessa arter. Större kustflicksländor finns i stora delar av Europa, från norra Spanien till södra Sverige. Hanarna är ljusblå, medan honor

Detektera c-di-GMP med biosensorerna CensYBL och CensYBLBsu En viktig molekyl som kontrollerar och signalerar för olika funktioner och processer hos bakterier, heter Bis-(3’,5’) -cyklisk di-guanosin-monofosfat (c-di-GMP). Projektet gick ut på att detektera nivåer av c-di-GMP i två olika bakterier med hjälp av två olika biosensorer. I Escherchia coli testades biosensorn CensYBL och i Bacillus Subt

We all live with Malaria - We just don’t know it Malaria is one of the world's biggest healthcare obstacles, taking the lives of millions and costing us millions. But what is Malaria? Malaria is an organism, more precisely a parasite, living at the expense of another organism. Even though the majority of humans have never had it, we have probably only been a few hundred meters away from indiv
