Hempseeds, a by-product from hemp fiber production, have a very good nutritional profile, both for essential fatty acids and amino acids, increasing the interest to use hempseeds as a food source. The aims of this project were to optimize the extraction of proteins from hempseed press cake, characterize the functions of the proteins and determine if an ice cream formulation can be created. The e
Positronemissionstomografi/datortomografi (PET/CT) är en nukleärmedicins undersökning. Det är en kraftfull metod som används för att för att kartlägga tumörutbredning, bestämma lämplig behandling, utvärdera given cancerbehandling och att upptäcka återfall av tumörsjukdom. Denna undersökning ger möjligheter till förbättringar av vården för cancersjuka patienter. Syfte med litteraturstudie är att un
Samhället har ett intresse av att skydda barn från att komma till skada när de växer upp under farliga förhållanden. Barns exponering för våld och övergrepp kan få allvarliga konsekvenser för barnets hälsa och utveckling. Bestämmelserna som reglerar vårdnad, boende och umgänge finns i 6 kap. föräldrabalken (1949:381). Barnets bästa ska vara avgörande vid alla beslut som rör barn. Vid domstolens Society has an interest in protecting children from harm when they grow up under dangerous conditions. Children’s exposure to violence and abuse can have serious consequences for the child’s health and development. The regulations regarding matters of custody, the residence of the child and visitation rights are found in the sixth chapter of the Parental Code (1949). The best interest of the chi
There have been many calls for higher education to facilitate a transition towards sustainability, in particular, with a social change dimension. Literature exists on the different learning outcomes and competencies expected of students in this process, but not much is written about learning approaches used within curriculums that can enable social change. This thesis aims to address this issue by
III-V semiconductor compounds containing Bi, such as InBi, have recently attracted much attention due to predictions of band inversion and topological insulators. The predictions showed that films of InBi could be applicable in quantum computers and at room temperature. The common approach of realizing such a structure, by growing InAsBi films, has not been successful, as the Bi content has been f
Samhällsplanerare måste ta hänsyn till ett flertal aspekter och många mål- och styrdokument i sitt arbete med att utveckla och planera kommunen. En viktig aspekt är jämställdhetsaspekten som åter blivit aktuell. Det är dock inte helt klart hur planerare ska tänka för att främja jämställdhet i samhällsplaneringen. I form av en fallstudie där fyra samtalsintervjuer gjordes syftar denna uppsats till
China’s rapid economic development has led to a continuously increasing energy demand and the country is the world’s biggest energy user as of today. The country accounts for around 23% of the global energy production, but 70% of the Chinese energy is generated with coal power and China is the biggest emitter of CO2 in the world. The Chinese government has set a couple of goals to reduce the count
Frågeställning: Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka om interventioner baserade på ACT respektive buddhistisk meditation har en inverkan på psykologisk inflexibilitet, empati, medkänsla till andra, självmedkänsla samt modern rasism. Till detta hörde en explorativ frågeställning gällande eventuella skillnader i de båda metodernas inverkan på utfallsmåtten. Arbetet avsåg även undersöka hur utfa
The purpose of this project was to investigate the use of microfluidics for X-ray spectroscopy at MAX IV Laboratory. A Silicon and Glass chip was produced, and its suitability for carrying samples in solution was tested. Once the chip was prepared, and successfully integrated onto Balder beamline, X-ray analysis was carried out on a sample of FeCl3 (aq) flowing through the chip. This was contraste
The sharing of goods and services has a lot of potential in tackling the environmental consequences of consumption. Studies indicate that public lending has advantages over private individuals lending each other necessities. It is therefore important to investigate how public lending can be organised most efficiently. Some Swedish libraries provide tools and other things that are not typically ass
This thesis surveyed existing technologies and research on pedestrian detection systems using video as input. The purpose of the study was to investigate what such a software would need to produce to be relevant for the fire safety engineer in outdoor circulation- or egress applications. The thesis tested a newly developed detection software called Flowity. The software, developed by ÅF Digital So
Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC) are a heterogenous group of cancers formed in squamous epithelial cells. In a few HNSCC, the cancer is developed because of long-term viral infection. Carcinomas of the Oropharynx (OPSCC) have a high rate of infection of Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), where tonsils (TSCC) have the highest. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate differential expression b
Using laser it is possible to measure the backscattered light from insects. The resulting signal can then be analysed in order to potentially determine the species of the insect. Estimating the fundamental wing beat frequency (FWBF) of insects is important in order do this classification of species, which is an area of research that has been explored previously. In this thesis, the relative phase
In this study, the extraction and isolation of xylan from milled oat hull materials was investigated. Alkali extraction by 2 M sodium hydroxide at 40°C overnight was applied. The yield of extracted xylan was 5%. The extracted xylan was isolated from the extraction mixture by ethanol (99.9%) after neutralization and its purity was checked, resulting in a66% pure product. The semi-purified xylan was
For a city and culture that excels at adding value to waste, Kisumu struggles with a systematic approach for solid-waste management. Food and animal wastes run rampant in the streets while families still cook for hoursevery day using harmful fuels like kerosene, charcoal and firewood. This project takes to heart the insight that if a solution isn’t affordable to those who need it the most — it’s n
