Enzyme engineering for a better future It is essential for many organisms on this planet to be able to digest plants. One of those organisms is the blue mussel, which uses certain enzymes in its stomach to break down sugar fibers in the algae that it eats. But how does this really work, and can we use it for anything? Plant cells have very strong walls, protecting them from environmental stress.

Peeking under the hood of bacteria Imagine you want to figure out what the different parts of your car do and essentially how important they are for it to function properly. The way to answer these questions could be to remove one part at a time and see what happens. In a similar way, whenever scientists want to better understand bacteria, they have learned different ways or techniques of doing s

Context: AI technologies are increasingly embedded in products and software engineering processes of industrial IoT, autonomous systems, and cyber-physical systems. It is therefore essential to ensure alignment with safety, reliability, and ethical standards. However, practical software engineering methods for managing misalignment risks remain underdeveloped. Objective: This study aims to explore

The semiconductor tracker (SCT) is one of the tracking systems for charged particles in the ATLAS detector. It consists of 4088 silicon strip sensor modules. During Run 2 (2015-2018) the Large Hadron Collider delivered an integrated luminosity of 156 fb−1 to the ATLAS experiment at a centre-of-mass proton-proton collision energy of 13 TeV. The instantaneous luminosity and pile-up conditions were f

In light of recent global crises and growing geopolitical uncertainties, the importance of resilience at the individual, organizational, and societal levels has become more apparent. This chapter explores the role of communication capabilities in building resilience – the ability to adapt to a changing environment and to mitigate and recover from crises. Based on existing literature, we propose an

BACKGROUND: Tau pathology distribution in Alzheimer's disease (AD) shows individual spatial heterogeneity, including hemispheric asymmetry. The mechanisms underlying this asymmetry remain unclear. This study explored whether tau asymmetry is linked to reduced inter-hemispheric connectivity, potentially restricting tau spread, or reflects asymmetry in amyloid-beta (Aβ) distribution, indicating hemi

This chapter highlights the centrality of atmospheres in tightly controlled environments like courtrooms and youth detention homes. In courtrooms, social control is achieved through affective arrangements, such as reading emotional cues and using touch or its avoidance to manage order. Legal professionals rely on their ability to sense and act on shifting atmospheres as part of their implicit skil

Significant positive and negative consequences across the entire spectrum of issues are expected from the much debated Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). This study investigates thoroughly the potential consequences for the education sector based on primary sources of the EU’s objectives and reflections for the TTIP negotiations. It approaches the possible consequences from the

As a result of climate change, temperatures have been steadily increasing in the last half century and extreme weather events such as storms, extreme heat, extreme precipitation and cold spells have been observed to occur more frequently. This comes with potential consequences for lives and health. There are several factors affecting the climate in a region. A phenomenon that has a large impact in

Bostads- och servicesektorn utgör 40 procent av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Endast småhus står för drygt 8 procent. Energin som används i småhus går i huvudsak till uppvärmning och varmvatten. 2020 var direktverkande el den vanligaste energikällan för uppvärmning av småhus (Energimyndigheten 2022). Elpriset har stigit kraftigt under det senaste året. Detta kan eventuellt ha påverkan på boendThe building and service sector consume 40 percent of Sweden’s total energy use. Which of only single-family houses are responsible for 8 percent. The energy used in single family houses mainly goes to heating and hot water. 2020 the most common energy source for heating these buildings was electricity (Energimyndigheten 2022). The energy prices have increased heavily during the last year. This ma

In this essay, we will examine and partly explain the framing of the European Union by Swedish media. Media coverage of the EU occurs daily; however, it is usually the major news stories that receive media attention, for example security policy and the energy crisis. The everyday work that takes place in the European Parliament, tends to be overshadowed by the media, despite its significant impact

The present paper examines contributions of corporate responsibility to respect human rights —outlined in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights— to eradication of the problem of workplace discrimination in Myanmar, a developing country in Southeast Asia undergoing a transition from an authoritative military rule to a civil democratic government. Based on the analysis o
