Introduction TCP-25 gel is intended for use in treatment of wound infection and inflammation. Current local therapies for wounds have limited efficacy to prevent infections and there are no wound treatments available today that target the excessive inflammation that often hampers wound healing in both acute and chronic wounds. There is therefore a high medical need for new therapeutic alternatives
Filaggrin (FLG), a skin barrier protein, is associated with higher dermal uptake of some chemicals in carriers of loss-of-function (null) mutations. This study investigates FLG mutations and systemic effects following dermal exposure to chemicals. Individuals (n = 23 FLG null, n = 31 FLG wt) were simultaneously exposed to pyrimethanil, pyrene, oxybenzone, and nickel ions for 4 h. Pre- and post-exp
Biochar, a black carbon created from agricultural waste or residues, is primary an agricultural tool to improve soil health via moisture and nutrient retention with the added benefit of sequestering carbon. As global actors search for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) methods, biochar is increasingly promoted especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) where smallholder farmers are largely affected by clima
This thesis examines the challenges faced by recent immigrants to Canada in having their educational credentials and work experience recognised within the Canadian labour market. Using Canadian census microdata from 2021, the study assesses the wage gap between immigrants and native-born Canadians, with a specific focus on the returns to educational credentials and work experience for both groups.
The European spruce bark beetle is considered as one of the most destructive forest insects to Norway spruce trees in Europe. Climate change may increase the frequency and intensity of bark beetle outbreaks. It is therefore of vital importance to detect the bark beetle outbreaks and take it under control to prevent further damages. Remote sensing techniques may provide a cost-efficient solution to
Title: What’s in the box? - An embedded single-case study of Médecins Sans Frontières Operational Center Geneva to determine inventory holding costs within humanitarian logistics Authors: Ludvig Wenglén, Theo Larsson Malmstedt Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Division of Engineering Logistics, Faculty of Engineering (LTH), Lund University Problem definition: Médecins Sans Frontières and the humanita
As decarbonization pressures increase for energy-intensive processing industries, understanding demand side readiness is essential in order to scale up breakthrough technologies. This thesis investigates the willingness to pay (WTP) for green steel in the North American automotive industry, with a focus on steel produced by the H2-DRI-EAF route, where hydrogen is produced from renewable electricit
We now have entered the Anthropocene. Humanity is the new geological force drastically changing the systems of the Earth. At least this is the story told by natural scientists. Social scientists are critical of this ‘natural’ narrative as it cannot deal with the social dimension of geological changes. This is problematic with regard to understanding the relation between social justice and ecologic
The end of the Decade of Education for Sustainable Development in the present year marked a scenario to evaluate the achievement made among nations. However the success of implementation of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is not equal as well the information available on the subject depens on the country. The aim of the thesis is to deliver a current status and recommendations for impr
Människor skapar emotionella band till vissa platser, s.k. platsanknytningar, vilka anses starka nog att påverka samt påverkas av deras identiteter. Banden har undersökts för många typer av platser, däribland religiösa platser, men det är hittills oklart vad pilgrimers platsanknytning korrelerar med och varför. Denna studie syftar därför till att jämföra katolska och evangelikalt protestantiska pi
The wax on the stem and leafs of the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) plant has a protective function and is produced by the cells on the plant's outer surfaces. There are several available barley mutants where the wax production has been stopped. Four mutants are the single-site mutants cer-c.36, cer-q.42, ceru. 21 and the deletion mutant cer-cqu.724. We phenotyped 636 barley plants and collected
Background: To use the European Association of Urology Research Foundation (EAURF) registry data to determine the proportion of contemporary Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Enlargement (LUTS/BPE) patients prescribed phytotherapy, and to determine their subjective quality of life and clinical progression responses. Methods: This was a prospective multicenter multinatio
Frihamnen i Stockholm står inför en omfattande omvandling. Området, som under lång tid har fungerat som en central plats för hamn- och industriverksamhet, planeras att utvecklas till en ny stadsdel med bostäder, kontor och service. I denna process riskerar flera befintliga industribyggnader att rivas för att ge plats åt ny bebyggelse. Samtidigt innebär detta att viktiga delar av platsens historia,
Ethiopia is implementing a Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) as of 2005, claimed to be the largest social protection program in Africa, which sets out to link relief to development and curb the country’s long over dependence on food aid. This research,thus explores the theoretical framework regarding social protection programs and their ability to bridge the gap between relief and development b
This thesis critically examines ethnicity matching between children awaiting adoption and prospective adopters and its discriminatory consequences for ethnic minority children under the European Convention on Human Rights. The examination is conducted against the background of the adoption controversy, and the differing views on what is in the best interests of the child. It highlights how the Eur
