The topic of this thesis is how land use change has affected the habitat of semi-natural grasslands in the area around Osby, Scania. For that purpose, semi-natural grasslands in a historical

Approximately a quarter of a million women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer annually worldwide. Identifying the genes involved may ultimately lead to the development of corrective and preventive measures to fight this type of cancer. Next Generation Sequencing is a technology that can reveal the genes central to cancer initiation and development, however the analysis of the data is problematic du

Like other African countries, Kenya’ economy and food security is heavily dependent on agriculture. Climate change has led to variability in temperature and precipitation, and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, all of which can significantly impact crop productivity and food security in the long-term. Furthermore, water scarcity poses a critical challenge for Kenya, particularly i

The carbon intensity is an important metric that provides a clear measure of the environmental impact associated with the electricity use. Carbon intensity of electricity use is differentiated into CO₂ equivalents per kilowatt-hour, which standardises the measurement by expressing the emissions of various greenhouse gases in terms of the equivalent amount of CO₂ based on their global warming poten

Introduction: This study is focused on the development and comparison of different extraction methods for vitamin D (VD) analysis in liver samples. Background: VD deficiency is related to several diseases, so it is crucial to correctly detect and quantify its concentration in the human body. Despite the existing methodologies for VD analysis, the selectivity and the sensitivity of the methods for

The impact that anthropogenic micropollutants have on the environment is increasingly gaining attention. As a result of this, Sweden, among other countries, is looking towards implementing advanced treatment for micropollutant and pharmaceutical product removal from wastewater prior to discharge into the environment. The leading method to achieve this is ozonation, which unfortunately also creates
