Self-assembly properties of enzymatically treated oat oil

The enzymatic modification of natural oat oils enriched with polar lipids (PL), consisting mainly of equal mixture of phospholipids and galactolipids, offers a sustainable pathway to produce liquid crystalline phases (LCPs) with diverse structural arrangements, including micellar or bicontinuous cubic and hexagonal phases. These self-assembling lipid systems have potential applications in drug del

Chemical kinetics study of nitrogen-containing fuels in flames – experiments and modeling

Climate change is strongly linked to the quantity of carbon dioxide (CO2) released by burning fossil fuels, which contain carbon. To address the problem, ammonia (NH3) has recently gained significant attention as a potential alternative fuel due to its carbon-free nature, ease of storage, and good energy density. However, ammonia combustion in practical devices presents challenges, particularly it

Modelling reactive power support from a generic wind power plant

As the amount of wind power in electricity production increases it becomes more important that they are able to provide ancillary services to support power system stability. This thesis investigates how a generic wind power plant can provide reactive power for voltage support. To represent a generic wind power plant, the Western Electricity Coordinating Council’s generic Renewable Energy System mo

Cult Film Atmospheres : Audiences, exhibitors, and live cinema spaces

Kultfilmsevenemang som Den Dåliga Filmfestivalen (Göteborg, 2019 och 2023-2025) och B-Filmsklubben (Malmö) erbjuder unika atmosfärer för publiken som besöker dem. I Malmö och Göteborg anordnar biograferna regelbundet festivaler och fristående visningar av kultfilmer som band andra The Room, Birdemic, och Miami Connection. Kännetecknande för dessa upplevelser är den översvallande atmosfär som skapaCult film events like The Bad Film Festival (Gothenburg, 2019 and 2023-2025) and The B-Film Club (Malmö) offer unique atmospheres to audiences. In the two Swedish cities of Malmö and Gothenburg, exhibitors run regular festivals and standalone screenings of cult films such as The Room, Birdemic, Miami Connection, and others where an effervescent atmosphere is generated, often featuring audience par

Disability Anti-Discrimination Law: A Tool for Compliance or Path Towards Social Justice?

Drawing on vignette interviews, this article analyses the legal consciousness of disability anti-discrimination law of staff working with disability/accessibility resources in higher education in Sweden and the United States. In both countries, participants considered the law as the basis of their work, but differences were noticed regarding their views of the purpose of laws banning disability di

Bacteroides maternus sp. nov., a novel species isolated from human faeces

A novel bacterial strain, MSB163, was isolated from the stool sample of a healthy mother, 4 weeks after giving birth via vaginal delivery. Taxonomic identification tools revealed that MSB163 belongs to the genus Bacteroides, but it is distinct from any currently known species. The closest related species is Bacteroides cellulosilyticus strain BFG- 250, with an average nucleotide identity (fastANI)

Structural interplay in block copolymer-bile salt complexes : from globules to ribbons

The supramolecular structures resulting from the complexation between the neutral-cationic block copolymer poly(ethylene oxide)- block-poly(2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl methacrylate iodide) (PEO 114- b-PTMAEMAI 95) and the bile salt sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) were investigated by dynamic light scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering, cryogenic transmission electron microscopy and proton NMR techniq

Cyanobacterial Argonautes and Cas4 family nucleases cooperate to interfere with invading DNA

Prokaryotic Argonaute proteins (pAgos) from the long-A clade are stand-alone immune systems that use small interfering DNA (siDNA) guides to recognize and cleave invading plasmid and virus DNA. Certain long-A pAgos are co-encoded with accessory proteins with unknown functions. Here, we show that cyanobacterial long-A pAgos act in conjunction with Argonaute-associated Cas4 family enzyme 1 (ACE1). S

Utility of serum and urine leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) as predictors of appendicitis and complicated appendicitis in children

PurposeLeucine rich alpha-2 glycoprotein 1 (LRG1) has emerged as a promising biomarker for appendicitis, especially in pediatric patients. However, the currently available data are sparse, and the biomarker must be validated in more settings and compared to standard inflammatory markers. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic and discriminative utility of serum and urine LRG1 in children with other c

Classifiers of anterior cruciate ligament status in female and male adolescents using return-to-activity criteria

Purpose: A lack of standardization exists for functional tasks in return-to-activity (RTA) guidelines for adolescents with anterior cruciate ligament injury (ACLi). Identifying the variables that discern ACLi status among adolescents is a first step in the creation of such guidelines following surgical reconstruction. This study investigated the use of classification models to discern ACLi status

Diffusion MRI with double diffusion encoding and variable mixing times disentangles water exchange from transient kurtosis

Double diffusion encoding (DDE) makes diffusion MRI sensitive to a wide range of microstructural features, and the acquired data can be analysed using different approaches. Correlation tensor imaging (CTI) uses DDE to resolve three components of the diffusional kurtosis: isotropic, anisotropic, and microscopic kurtosis. The microscopic kurtosis is estimated from the contrast between single diffusi

The Problems of Inflation Targeting Originate in the Monetary Theory of Knut Wicksell

The theoretical foundation of inflation targeting was laid out by the Swedish economist Knut Wicksell (1851–1926) in his groundbreaking treatise, Interest and Prices, published originally in German in 1898. Here he proposed price stability as the rule for monetary policy. Today, inflation targeting is considered the best-practice approach to monetary policy across the world. It has contributed to

Towards carbon neutrality: decarbonizing China’s steel and petrochemical industries : Pathways and policies

Tackling climate change is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Among the various sectors contributing to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the industrial sector plays a pivotal role, responsible for 24% of total GHG emissions. As the world’s largest emitter of CO₂, China has committed to peaking emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. The industrial sector in C
