Natural polymers are promising sustainable materials for diverse applications. Xylans, major components of hemicellulose, exhibit origin-dependent substitution patterns that determine their physicochemical properties. Targeted enzymatic modification of these substituents offers a mild and precise approach for tailoring the polymer's characteristics. Glucuronidases (EC 3.2.1.139) and xylan α-1,2-gl

We explore mental health as a potential mechanism to explain the labor market penalty of an early-onset physical disability using administrative data from Sweden. For methodological reasons, we focus on persons with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and use prescriptions for mental health conditions. We examine how much of the differences in labor market outcomes is explained by prescriptions for mental health

Thermal energy storage is likely to be integral to a sustainable, secure and affordable energy system facing ever greater challenges in matching supply and demand. Techno-economic studies have explored the potential for thermal storage deployment, but transitions in the energy system are also influenced by the activities and decisions of an array of actors. We gathered new empirical evidence from

Wireless power transfer (WPT) is a promising service for the Internet of Things (IoT), providing a cost-effective and sustainable solution to deploy so-called energy-neutral devices on a massive scale. The power received at the device side from a conventional transmit antenna with a physically small aperture decays rapidly with the distance. New opportunities arise from the transition from convent

Despite extensive cataloging of carcinogenic exposures by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and pharmacogenomic variation by resources such as PharmVar and CPIC, few platforms unify exposure, metabolic activation and detoxification, DNA damage, and genetic annotation within a single interactive visualization framework. This gap limits systematic evaluation of gene-environment

The unquenchable thirst for bandwidth to support next-generation wireless systems is increasingly bringing D-band into the spotlight. This work proposes a scalable D-band patch antenna that features both coplanar and stacked parasitic patch structures. By leveraging inter-patch coupling, different coplanar parasitic elements are excited across different frequency bands, enabling multi-mode operati

The initial adhesion of bacterial cells to implant surfaces is a critical step in the development of biofilms, complex microbial communities that are highly resistant to conventional antimicrobial treatments. Once established, these biofilms and their self-produced extracellular matrix are difficult to eradicate. As a result, there is growing interest in engineering implant surfaces that can effec

Surgery is often viewed as a lifesaving intervention, yet recovery depends just as much on what follows. The concept of individualised anaesthesia and analgesia in surgery challenges the traditional one-size-fits-all model by tailoring care to each patient's physiological and psychological profile, with the potential to improve outcomes, reduce complications, and enhance the patient experience. Ma

We study the time complexity of computing the (min⁡,+) matrix product of two n×n integer matrices in terms of n and the number of monotone subsequences the rows of the first matrix and the columns of the second matrix can be decomposed into. In particular, we show that if each row of the first matrix can be decomposed into at most m1 monotone subsequences and each column of the second matrix can b

I det svenska straffrättsliga systemet finns en lång tradition av att särbehandla unga lagöverträdare. Den vedertagna ideologiska uppfattning som ligger till grund för särregleringen framhåller att unga har en outvecklad ansvarsförmåga, att de besitter en ökad sanktionskänslighet samt att samhället bör visa tolerans för den unges mognadsprocess. För de yngsta lagöverträdarna måste även hänsyn tas In the Swedish criminal justice system, there is a long tradition of treating young offenders differently than adults. The accepted ideological view that underlies the special regulation emphasizes that young people have an undeveloped capacity for responsibility, that they have a greater sensitivity to punishment and that society should show tolerance for the young person's maturation process

The production of single cell biomass by the collaboration company in this project for use as a meat alternative is a potential source of sustainable alternatives to functional ingredients for the food industry. With its high protein content, creating a protein isolate from the single cell biomass became interesting and a study of single cell protein functionalities could offer a possibility to in

The major problem when developing primers and probe sets for detection of HIV-1 is its high genetic variability and strong ability to mutate. HIV-1 is divided into four groups, M, N, O, P based on genetic similarities, and there are more than 70 different circulating recombinant forms. The aim of this master thesis was to develop new primers and probe for a novel quantitative PCR analysis method f

Increase of urbanization and climate change are one of the factors that have been highlighted to influence the change of urban runoff hydrograph. This is resulting in an increase in peak flow within an urban watershed. Downstream flooding is the main problem that arises. To solve this, the sustainable urban drainage system techniques are adopted for reducing peak flow and increase baseflow. This t

Increase of urbanization and climate change are one of the factors that have been highlighted to influence hydrography. This is resulting in an increase in peak flow within an urban watershed. Downstream flooding and increased pollution are the problems that arises. To solve this, the sustainable urban drainage system techniques are adopted for reducing peak flow and increase baseflow.

The goal of this Master's Thesis is to successfully detect and classify humans in a LiDAR data stream. The focus of the Thesis is on the detection and classification, not on the LiDAR technology. To classify humans machine learning was used and to train the machine learning model we collected our own data and annotated it. A custom software was made for speeding up the annotation process.
