Escherichia coli (E. coli) can cause disease in both humans and animals. For poultry, avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) is a common problem. Even birds living in apparently healthy flocks die from infections caused by E. coli. To help increase the health of poultry a new aerosol vaccine formulation based on outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from E. coli was evaluated using ELISA to compare the amount o

Innovationshöjden för automatiska skjutdörrssystem under de senaste årtionden har resulterat i högteknologiska automatiska skjutdörrar, där tillbehören och användargränssnitten inte har utvecklats i samma utsträckning. Det har lett till att programväljare för skjutdörrar blivit omoderna och svåranvända för användarna. Syftet med denna masteruppsats var att tillsammans med ASSA ABLOY Entrance SysteThe innovation of automatic sliding door systems over the past decades has resulted in high-tech automatic sliding doors, where accessories and user interfaces have not been developed to the same extent. As a result, operating mode selectors for sliding doors has become outdated and difficult for users to operate. The purpose of this master’s thesis was to propose a new design for operating mode s
CO oxidation over Pd(100) is studied with ambient pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (APXPS). Cyclic gas composition pulsing of the CO:O2 ratio, combined with a new method using software based event-averaging by image recognition over many pulses, is used to improve the signal-to-noise ratio substantially. Hereby, it becomes possible to follow the dynamics of Pd(100) restructuring between a

Undersköterskor uppfattar sin hälsa som sämre under Covid-19. Uppfattningen av ens hälsa kan påverkas av flera faktorer där ovisshet, utebliven återhämtning och brist på stöd är tre exempel. Syftet är att förstå hur undersköterskor i en region i Sverige upplevde sin hälsa under Covid-19. Målet med syftet är därmed att skapa förståelse för hur undersköterskors arbetsplats kan påverka deras hälsa. DAssistant nurses perceive their health as worse during Covid-19. The perception of one's health can be affected by several factors where uncertainty, lack of recovery and lack of support are three example. The purpose is to understand how assistant nurses in a region in Sweden experienced their health during Covid-19. The aim of the purpose is thus to create an understanding of how the assista
IKEA, a company well known around the world for their furniture, is also keen on using digital solutions to improve the customer experience. One of these solutions is the self-serving kiosk, a 27" touchscreen, that helps the customers find and buy products. As many other companies of similar size, IKEA wants to use the data from their digital solutions, as a base for some of their decision ma
Fotosyntes, vilket beskriver upptaget av koldioxid från atmosfären av vegetationen, är nyckeln till den naturliga förmildringen av den antropogena klimatförändringen. Dess korrekta skattning är därför av avgörande betydelse för korrekta bedömningar av den globala kolbalansen och förståelsen av det globala kolets kretslopp. Detta upptag av kol kallas bruttoprimärproduktionen (Gross Primary ProductiPhotosynthesis, which describes the uptake of carbon from the atmosphere by vegetation, is key to the natural mitigation of anthropogenic climate change. Its accurate assessment is therefore of vital importance for correct estimates of the global carbon balance and the understanding of global carbon dynamics. This uptake of carbon is referred to as the gross primary productivity (GPP) and can be r
In adaptive deep brain stimulation, a treatment for motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, the target of the stimulus is usually in the sub-thalamic nucleus or the globus pallidus. In this thesis, a new stimulus target called reticular thalamus is investigated in a rat model of Parkinson’s disease. The responses to the stimulus were recorded from both local field potentials and action potentials f
Few have been left unaffected by the outbreak and consequent impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. One group of people, namely those pregnant during the pandemic, faced a unique set of circumstances that this research has aimed to understand. The purpose of this research was to contribute to filling the knowledge gap by delving into the risk perception and protective behaviours adapted by pregnant peop
Equity crowdfunding has achieved a high popularity in the UK throughout the last years. However, most researchers within this field primarily focused on the success factors of an equity crowdfunding campaign while only little is known about the post-campaign effects. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to determine which patterns of characteristics successfully equity crowdfunded companies that r
Biological drugs have the potential to trigger unwanted immunogenic responses in patients which might affect the efficacy and safety of the treatment. Evaluating the immunogenicity throughout the drug development process is therefore crucial. For measuring the activity of a biological drug and antibodies against the drug, cell-based reporter gene assays can be used. The iLite reporter gene system
Bolsa Família is one of the largest conditional cash transfer programs in the world. It provides cash transfers to poor households, conditional on human capital requirements such as minimum school attendance. The literature emphasizes that more schooling increases the human capital formation of children, which leads to improved employment outcomes and will break the inter-generational transmission
