This thesis explores the heterologous expression of six fungal enzymes with potential polyurethane (PUR) degrading activity in two strains of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae: the standard Ory6 and a knock-out variant with disrupted transcription factors to potentially reduce native protease activity. Each enzyme was expressed in three gene formats: a native version (including any introns

The observed imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe cannot be fully explained by the Standard Model of particle physics. One proposed mechanism to account for this discrepancy is the violation of baryon number B, a process that has yet to be experimentally observed. The HIBEAM/NNBAR project, a proposed two-stage experiment at the European Spallation Source, aims to find evidence of bar

Title: Performance Measurement Systems in Tripartite Collaboration - Use and Perception in a Public Transportation Context Seminar date: 2025-06-05 Course: BUSN09 - Degree project in International Strategic Management Authors: Filip Milicic & Hedda Eld Supervisor: Magnus Johansson Keywords: Performance measurement systems; PMS; Tripartite Collaboration; Public Transport, Public Transportatio

In an increasingly competitive job market, employer branding provides a tool for attracting and retaining talent. Through a case study based on a single company, this study aims to gain in-depth insights into how employer branding is enacted across different stages. To guide our study, we address the following research questions: 1) How is employer branding performed across different stages? 2)

Vad vet vi om exoplaneter? Studien av planeter har fascinerat mänskligheten sedan för de gamla grekerna, där deras rörelse över himlen representerade allt från gudar till ändringen av säsonger. Vår förståelse för de andra världar i vårt sol system, från gas jätten Jupiter, till de steniga ytan av Mars, har bara förbättrats med tiden. Detta är mest noterbart i det senaste århundrade, med flertal sSince the first discovery of exoplanets, they have been one of the main interests in contemporary astrophysics, with over 5000 confirmed today. One of the current goals is linking the chemical composition of their atmospheres to their formation by modelling the expected abundances for different formation conditions and comparing them to observations. These models require that the parameters of the

The rapid expansion of intermittent renewable energy sources has introduced substantial challenges to both the stability of the electrical grid and the economic viability of incumbent wind farms. In light of recent regulatory amendments within the energy market, stakeholders are compelled to adjust their operational strategies. Concurrently, the expansion of wind power has exacerbated price cannib

This paper examines if electrification reduces the ecological footprint. By testing the relationship for 68 countries between 2000 and 2021, the hypothesis is not supported. The estimated results indicate that while electrification is associated with lower carbon emissions, it is linked with an increase in land use, regardless of the energy source used for electricity generation, introducing an en

Denna rapport redogör över utvecklingsprocessen för ett silikonfritt, läckagetätt lock för matlådan IKEA 365+, för att undvika användandet av en silikonpackning som produkten gör idag. Drivkraften bakom projektet är att silikon är ett mycket energikrävande material att producera, samt är inte i stor skala återvinningsbart idag. Rapporten använder sig av en traditionell produktutvecklingsprocess saThis report elaborates on the development process of a silicone free, leakproof seal for the lid of the IKEA 365+ food storage platform, to alleviate the need for a silicone gasket that is used for the product today. Silicone is undesirable due to the energy intensive production and because it is not recyclable at large scale. The report uses a traditional product development process along with si

Klimatförändringar och en växande befolkning bidrar till att översvämningar i samband med kraftiga skyfall blir allt vanligare, i exempelvis städer som Malmö. Fastighetsägare står inför utmaningen att identifiera och prioritera de objekt där skyfallsåtgärder ger störst nytta. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att ta fram en metod som kan hjälpa kommuner i deras arbete med att prioritera fastighete

This study aimed to examine how immigrant mothers experience parenting and raising children in a new cultural context in Sweden. Furthermore, the purpose of this study was to inquire about immigrant mothers' views regarding societal support. The study was based on a qualitative method using semi-structured interviews with seven immigrant mothers from various countries in the Middle East with e

This project was carried out in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems and focused on the redesign of the vertical track set used in industrial overhead sectional doors. The main goal was to reduce the amount of material used in the track set while maintaining current strength, robustness, and overall performance. Achieving this involved developing a reliable calculation model to simulate

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur kvinnliga mellanchefer i den offentliga sektorn upplever, beskriver och hanterar sin psykosociala arbetssituation och arbetsmiljö, i relation till förväntningar, organisatoriska krav och tillgång till socialt stöd. Analysen bidrar till en större förståelse för hur kvinnorna upplever sin arbetssituation utifrån teman som krav, kontroll och stöd, och vilka hanterin

This thesis investigates the legal professionals in Spain during the transitional period from the ancien régime to the liberal state, a period marked by institutional rupture, ideological conflict, and social reconfiguration. The study has the primary aim to understand how the legal professionals contributed, perceived, and resisted the extensive legal changes that took place approximately two cen

This study explores the social integration barriers experienced by second-generation Chinese immigrants in Germany, and sheds light on the roles of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in supporting the integration of immigrants. By applying semi-structured interviews and the Integration Policy Framework (Heckmann, 2005) and Empowerment Theory (Zimmerman, 1995, 2000) as the theoretical framework,

Akademiska hierarkier kvarstår trots uttalade ambitioner om jämlikhet för alla inom akademin. Detta arbete undersöker hur bland annat lärare och forskare vid Lunds universitet upplever hierarkier samt tillhörighet i relation till sin kulturella bakgrund och familjens värderingar. Arbetet bygger på en kvalitativ metod i form av semi-strukturerade intervjuer som analyserats tematiskt med hjälp av Pi

Mulde Event, under mellansiluriska wenlock, utgör en period med globala störningar i ekologi och geokemi, bland annat ett drastiskt graptolitutdöende. I marina sediment från denna period har ett laminerat in-tervall identifierats i flera borrkärnor runt Östersjöområdet, inklusive Gotland, men intervallets ursprung och bety-delse är fortfarande inte klarlagt. I detta arbete analyseras lamineringen The Mulde Event, during the mid-Silurian Wenlock epoch, represents a period of global ecological and geochemical disturbances, including a drastic extinction of graptolites. Within marine sediments from this interval, a laminated sequence has been identified in several drill cores across the Baltic region, including Gotland; however, the origin and significance of this sequence remain poorly under

Menstrual health is essential for people who menstruate to fully participate in daily life and social activities. It is also a fundamental human right that closely impacts the realization of other rights such as right to non-discrimination and education. In recent years, there has been increasing attention to menstrual health on both the international and national levels. However, significant barr

This thesis conducts a dynamic integration of high temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) in a food processing line, based on the thermodynamic efficiency and coefficient of performance. The main goals are to decrease the energy consumption in the industry and further the operational costs, and thereby increase the energy efficiency in the unit processing line. The objective of this thesis is to assess th

The terms-of-trade a country faces are the prices of its exports divided by the prices of its imports. While unassuming, they hold much theoretical importance, and have been consistently found to be strongly correlated with economic growth rates. This paper provides a novel, monthly terms-of-trade index series for interwar Poland, covering 1924-1939; investigates the underlying trade structure; an
