This thesis focuses on the characterization of Coniferyl aldehyde dehydrogenase (CALDH) and cofactor regeneration involved in the biotransformation process from 5-Formyl-2-furancarboxylic Acid (FFCA) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) using NADH oxidases. FDCA is a building block of bio-based polymers like polyethylene furanoate (PEF), which serves as a sustainable alternative to traditional Pol

This study explores how Chinese immigrant families with patriarchal structures adapt after relocating to Sweden. Before immigration, these families followed a system I conceptualize as "soft patriarchal ruling," where wives internalized patriarchal norms and men maintained control through subtle power-sharing. However, upon moving to Sweden, this system faces significant challenges, lead

The role of the school library in Swedish schools has been a subject for debate in recent years. The debate typically focuses on the impact of school libraries on student reading ability and information literacy, as well as the legitimacy of the school librarian as a profession. Additionally, society faces an alarming trend in the form of steadily declining mental health among children and teens s

Motivationsfaktorer för användning av sociala media-tjänster är ett område som det i dagsläget finns begränsat med forskning om. I denna tvärsnittsstudie har syftet varit att utforska samband mellan motivationsfaktorer för användning av sociala media tjänster, problematiskt bruk av sociala media-tjänster, psykiskt mående och livskvalitet. Skillnader mellan de som identifierat sig som kvinnor respeMotivations for social media use is a topic where there is currently a limited amount of research. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to study correlations between motivations for social media use, problematic use of social media services, mental well-being, and quality of life. Differences between those who identified themselves as women and men were also studied. Data collection was d

I en metaanalys granskades litteraturen om sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet i episodiskt minne, med särskilt fokus på minne för brottsrelaterade händelseförlopp vid fri och styrd återgivning. Trots omfattande forskning inom området identifierades en lucka inom forskningsfältet, då ingen tidigare meta- analys specifikt behandlat sambandet mellan konfidens och korrekthet för fri och styrd åThis meta-analysis reviewed the literature on the relationship between confidence and accuracy in episodic memory, specifically focusing on crime- relevant event memory in free and cued recall. Despite extensive research in this area, an apparent gap was identified within memory research, as no prior meta-analysis has addressed the relationship between confidence and accuracy in the context of fre

Uppsatsen analyserar samspelet mellan rätten till dataportabilitet enligt EU:s dataskyddsförordning (GDPR) med skyddet för företagshemligheter enligt företagshemlighetsdirektivet. Syftet är att undersöka hur dess två regelverk påverkar varandra och hur en balans kan uppnås mellan individens rätt till sin data och företagens behov av att skydda känslig information. Uppsatsen klargör vad rätten tillThe thesis analyzes the interplay between the right to data portability under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the protection of trade secrets under the Trade Secrets Directive. The aim is to examine how these two frameworks interact with each other and how a balance can be achieved between an individual's right to their data and the need for businesses to protect sensitive

Väderprognoser är av stor betydelse för till exempel flygrutter, militära operationer och sjöfart. Flera organisationer tillhandahåller numera inte bara sina väderprognoser öppet, utan delar även med sig av sina prognosdata för nedladdning. Teknisk utveckling och ett större utbud av öppna data möjliggör användning av väder- och prognosdata för både privata och kommersiella ändamål. Egna programmerWeather forecasts are of great significance for instance in planning flight routes, military operations, and seafare. Many organizations today openly provide, not only their forecasts, but their raw data as well. Technological development and a greater availability of open data ensures that both weather- and forecast data can be used for both private and commercial purposes. However, customized ap

Går det att prediktera en fotbolls position utifrån var spelarna befinner sig på planen? Detta arbete utreder om det är möjligt att använda information om fotbollsspelares positioner och rörelser för att avgöra var bollen befinner sig i olika skeenden av en fotbollsmatch. Med framfarten av artificiell intelligens och maskininlärning har antalet användningsområden skjutit i höjden. Inom fotboll såWhen automating data analysis or broadcasts in association football, a key piece of information is the position of the football. Locating the ball is often easier said than done since there are many scenarios where the ball is hard or even impossible to detect accurately using object detection methods. This thesis explores a different approach to determining the ball's position. Since the play

Abstract This thesis is an evaluation of piezoelectric speaker drivers for loudspeaker design. It goes through the electrical and sound generating properties of the speaker drivers and general theory of piezoelectric speaker drivers. A prototype single speaker driver loudspeaker has been realized and evaluated by measuring the frequency response and sound pressure level (SPL), total harmonic disto

In Oslo, small-scale private landlords dominate the private rental sector (PRS). The characteristic ownership structure has given way to intermediary actors, such as letting agents and online platforms, operating between landlords and tenants. The findings of this thesis show that intermediaries in the Oslo PRS do not play the role as neutral middlemen, but on the contrary represent the market int

This article aims to undertake a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis of SSAB's investment in green steel production under the HYBRIT initiative, focusing on the implications of operating within the EU Emission Trade System and an illustrative scenario employing a carbon tax. The study evaluates profitability and social benefits, utilizing time series models to forecast electricity prices in di

The fishing industry is vital for global food security, providing nutrient-rich food, supporting livelihoods, and contributing to economic growth. As the global population continues to grow, it is essential to approach fishing in a sustainable way and preserve marine ecosystems. The United Nations has recognized overfishing as a significant issue. For 2017, it was estimated that about 34% of fish

This study aims to contribute to the further refinement of the theoretical framework about theatrical vengeance by performing a qualitative analysis on a single case - the highly publicized murder of Yevgeny Prigozhin - using the theoretical framework in question. The analytical approach is inspired by the congruence method, evaluating the explanatory potential of theatrical vengeance by assessing

För närvarande står byggnadsindustrin för en betydande del av de totala utsläppen av växthusgaser i Sverige. Resurseffektiviteten är låg och de råmaterial som används i dagsläget utnyttjas inte på ett effektivt sätt. Det råder ingen tvekan om att konsumtionen av naturresurser är ett problem, något som kan förbättras genom exempelvis en ökad grad av återanvändning i materialflödet och genom att vidAt present, the construction industry accounts for a significant part of the total greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden. Resource efficiency is low and the raw materials currently used are not utilized in an efficient manner. There is no doubt that the consumption of natural resources is a problem, something that can be improved by, for example, increasing the degree of reuse in the material flow an
