To increase the sustainability of the food sector and improve overall health, plant-based products have been advocated to be a solution. The plant-based products are often based on legumes. They contain a lot of nutrients and health benefits but also various antinutrients, including phytic acid which binds to several important minerals and proteins and reduces their bioavailability. Legumes are us

Studien undersöker om det finns skillnader i innovationsgraden hos svenska techbolag finansierade av koncernägt venture capital (CVC) respektive privat venture capital (IVC).

Kolhydrater är en grupp av biomolekyler som omfattar sockerarter, både enstaka och sammankopplade i kedjor. Förutom att förse våra celler med energi har kolhydrater en rad viktiga funktioner, från att vara involverade i kommunikationen mellan celler till cellulär uppbyggnad. Syntesen av kolhydrater i våra celler behöver undersökas ytterligare eftersom det finns samband mellan ett antal sjukdomar oGlycosaminoglycans comprise linear polysaccharide containing repeated disaccharide units. When one of the disaccharide units of chondroitin sulfate, glucuronic acid, gets epimerized by dermatan epimerase 1 to iduronic acid, dermatan sulfate is formed. Dermatan sulfate is essential in tumorigenesis, due to increased flexibility in the chain and enables interaction with certain proteins such as cyto

Behovet av hållbara lösningar blir alltmer akut i dagens samhälle, vilket ställer höga krav på vår infrastruktur och dess miljöpåverkan. Det svenska järnvägsnätet uppfyller inte de framtida kraven, och hårda ekonomiska ramar kräver tids- och kostnadsbesparingar för nya infrastrukturprojekt. Vår rapport undersöker hur planeringen av ett höghastighetsspår kan effektiviseras, med fokus på optimering The need for sustainability is increasingly pressing, imposing significant demands on infrastructure and its fossil footprint. The Swedish railway network currently fails to meet future requirements, while new high-speed rail lines struggle to be established. Tight economic constraints necessitate significant time and cost savings to ensure successful project implementation. To take a step closer

Rondo är en byggnad på Lisebergs nöjesfält som uppfördes 1940 och har genomgått förändringar både av byggnaden och av verksamheten sedan dess. Brandskyddet varierar genom byggnaden beroende på hur moderna delarna är och en verifiering av Rondos brandskydd är därför relevant. Rapporten syftar därför till att utvärdera Rondos brandskydd; målet med rapporten blir då att analysera de brandscenarierRondo is a building at Liseberg amusement park that was constructed in 1940, and both the building and the establishment have since gone through several changes. As a result, the degree of fire protection of the building varies depending on the modernity of the parts. A verification of the functionality of the fire protection is therefore relevant. The report aims to evaluate the fire protectio
