Process for the microbial fermentation of an organic substrate as well as to a microbial catalyst used in the process. The catalyst being of the immobilized microorganism type is magnetically influenced, a property which is used in order to separate the catalyst from the fermented organic substrate upon fermentation.
A process for enzymatic synthesis of oligosaccharides starting from lower building stones down to monomers, characterized by performing reverse hydrolysis in the presence of a glycosidase by carrying out the reaction in a solution having a high substrate content, i.e. a low water content.
A method for activating immobilized living microorganisms applied to transformations of steroids, antibiotics and other compounds characterized by the addition of peptone, glucose or a mixture of peptone and glucose to the reaction mixture.
The invention concerns a method for determining the concentration of a constituent in an assay system within a capillary tube from which light is emitted, the light being proportional to the amount of the constituent to be assayed. The light from the system is detected and quantified, and the detection takes place from substantially the longitudinal direction of the capillary tube.
The growing demand for sustainable construction materials has led to an increased interest in utilizing wood in façade applications. Wood in façade applications can be treated with impregnation to enhance its fire performance; however, concerns surrounding fire safety necessitate a comprehensive understanding of how impregnated wood materials evolve over time in outdoor environments. This study, p
The study investigates temporal aspects of home care in Sweden, as experienced and interpreted by older care users. Data consists of 34 interviews with 36 care users and 15 participant observations during home visits by care staff. By focusing on care users’ recalibration of time and events, the analysis identifies a form of interpreted experience – here termed ‘home care time’ – that comprises tw
PurposeCare has been theorized as a relational practice, but the research has focused on providers rather than users. Older care users have been cast in a passive role, and their relational activities to help with the provision of their care or to support those who provide it are underexplored. The purpose of this study is to develop knowledge about home care use as a form of relational ‘work’.Met
Some years ago, I was asked to be a junior researcher in a European research project about interdisciplinarity. I was delighted, of course, and excited about the opportunity to explore the problems and possibilities of interdisciplinarity. On the afternoon of the same day, I had a meeting with two experienced academics. I told them I had been invited to take part in a research project and both ent
As a counterweight to depersonalization, dementia care settings collect personal biographies, life stories, when residents move in. In Sweden, life story work has established itself as an indicator when measuring quality in dementia care. To facilitate the writing of life stories, care settings use a variety of life story templates, with a set of questions to be filled in about the care recipient.
Persons who move into dementia care homes may experience a range of threats to their identity and sense of self. To counteract this depersonalisation, dementia care homes in many parts of the world have incorporated the use of life stories.In Nordic eldercare policy, the bare existence of life stories has been used as quality indicators when rating dementia care homes. However, in contrast to othe
To receive support from social services in one’s own home is a major life course transition for the client in need of help. But this is also a life changing transition for cohabitating partners, whose home is transformed to a workplace where staff come and go. Partners' perspectives have received a lot of attention in social work, but almost exclusively based on their relationship with the primary
Introduction: Age is a commonly used criterion in social work, ranging from entry to methadone programs to exit from disability benefits and is used to determining appropriate treatment and support for clients. While it may be relevant to treat people differently based on age, seemingly “natural” age differences make age stereotyping difficult to challenge as ageism. The aim of this presentation i
