This thesis was done in collaboration with the department of Food Technology at LTH, Aventure AB, and Arwa Foodtech AB. The aim of the project was to develop the base for a baobab based, spoonable protein snack, comparable to quarg but free from ingredients of animal origin. At the time of writing, one of the biggest if not the biggest trend in the food industry is the replacement of animal-source
The purpose of this study was to investigate the applicability of data-driven experimental design for the optimization of a hard coating for cutting tools in metal machining. The complexity of metal machining leads to difficulty in theoretically modeling and understanding the interactions and correlations between parameters and performance. Because of this and the importance of incremental perform
Alla verksamheter som behandlar personuppgifter, men en anknytning till EU, måste uppfylla kravet på laglighet i GDPR. En särskilt viktig laglig grund i praktiken utgörs av artikel 6.1(f) GDPR. I korthet följer av artikeln att en av-vägning måste göras mellan den personuppgiftsansvariges berättigade intresse och den registrerades intressen och grundläggande rättigheter. Idag använder allt fler föAny businesses that process personal data, with a connection to the EU, must fulfill the legality requirement of the GDPR. A particularly important legal basis in practice is Article 6.1(f) GDPR. In short, the article requires a balance to be struck between the legitimate interest of the controller and the fundamental rights and interests of the data subject.

Therefore, the company perspective is taken, exploring message content and composition on corporate websites and Facebook.
In order to fight climate change and meet the Paris Agreement to keep the global temperature rise below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, there is an urgent need to change the dominant way of producing and consuming energy worldwide. However, governing an energy transition is a complex and challenging task, as different actors and interests clash on different levels. In this study, I have a closer
Statistical modelling could be included in a betting strategy where the value of a bet is assessed by comparing model predictions and market odds. This thesis presents several models based on statistical learning methods for predicting the total number of corners in a football match. Generalised linear regression and decision tree models were developed and their profitability was examined by using
För att säkerställa att golvbeläggningar inte skadas efter att de monterats på ett betonggolv är det viktigt att veta betonggolvets fukttillstånd. För att mäta fukttillståndet i betong har Rådet för byggkompetens tillsammans med Byggföretagen givit ut en fuktmätningsmanual. I manualen beskrivs en metod som kallas för borrhålsmätning. Metoden går ut på att ett hål borras i betongen. I borrhålet mTo ensure the preservation of floor coverings, it is crucial to possess knowledge regarding the moisture content in the concrete floor prior to installation. In order to measure moisture content in concrete, "Rådet för byggkompetens (RBK)" in conjunction with "Byggföretagen" have published a manual for moisture measurement. This manual outlines a method for moisture measurement

Popular Abstract in Swedish Antikroppar är viktiga beståndsdelar av det naturliga immunförsvaret som skyddar oss mot smittämnen, såsom bakterier och virus. Utvecklingen av olika genetiska och biokemiska teknologier har dessutom möjliggjort användningen av antikroppar för en mängd ändmål, bl a för diagnostik och behandling av infektionssjukdomar och cancer. I denna avhandling, som bygger på fem vetAntibodies are key players of the immune system in higher vertebrates, which provide a defense against potentially lethal threats from the environment. Besides their importance in the immune defense, antibodies have a great potential as reagents in biological chemistry and diagnostics, and as therapeutic agents against both infectious diseases and cancer. Despite tremendous advances in all fields

The Energi Öresund project seeks to offer strategic and cooperative energy planning for the region as a whole in order to meet the energy goals of Sweden, Denmark, and its constituent local municipalities. The project is funded by EU INTERREG IV, a European U
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den molekylära processen under vilken DNA-information förs över till RNA-information kallas transkription. Transkription styrs främst i samverkan med många speciella molekyler som kallas transkriptionsfaktorer. Zinkfinger proteiner är en av de vanligast förekommande klasserna av reglerande proteiner i eukaryota celler där de inverkar på en mängd av cellulära aktiviteterThe molecular process under which message in DNA is relayed onto RNA is called transcription, and it accomplished through involvement of so-called transcription factors. Zinc finger proteins are one of the most abundant classes of regulatory proteins in eukaryotic cells where they play central roles in a variety of cellular activities. A classical zinc finger is a small protein motif with a simple
This thesis describes the design and characterisation of a vacuum ultraviolet scanning photoelectron microscope as well as results from studies of laterally inhomogeneous surfaces. The instrument utilises synchrotron radiation from an undulator at the 550 MeV storage ring at the MAX-laboratory.
