The urgency of addressing the sustainability crisis requires a comprehensive approach encompassing both technological advancements and changes in human behavior. Food represents a crucial domain where everyday choices closely intertwine with environmental and social impacts. This study investigates the interplay between sustainable food strategies and rebound effects, which refer to the reduced ef

Organisms appear opaque largely because their outer tissue layers are strongly scattering to incident light; strongly absorbing pigments, such as blood, typically have narrow absorbances, such that the mean free path of light outside the absorbance peaks can be quite long. As people cannot see through tissue, they generally imagine that tissues like the brain, fat, and bone contain little or no li

Introduction: Pelvic girdle pain during and after pregnancy is a major public health problem with significant daily problems for affected women and their families. There is now accumulating evidence that pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain originates from the sacroiliac joints and the pubic symphysis as well as their extra-articular ligaments. However, the heritability of the disease remains to b

This Master Thesis aims to explore the design of kitchenware products for visually impaired people. With an estimated 285 million people worldwide experiencing visual impairments, the design of kitchenware products has traditionally focused on aesthetics and functionality for able-bodied individuals, often excluding people with disabilities. Through a mixed-methods approach that includes lite

This design project proposes an innovative solution aimed at facilitating organized and democratic preparation for future crises, specifically targeting students and individuals residing in confined living spaces. The proposed solution consists of two stackable storage units designed to address this challenge. The first unit, referred to as the “can storage,” is capable of accommodating up to 3

Two-dimensional (2D) Dirac materials are electronically and structurally very sensitive to proximity effects. We demonstrate, however, the opposite effect: that the deposition of a monolayer 2D material could exercise a substantial influence on the substrate electronic structure. Here we investigate TiC(111) and show that a graphene overlayer produces a proximity effect, changing the Fermi surface

The complex pathophysiology underlying biological aging creates challenges for identifying biomarkers associated with frailty. This longitudinal, nontargeted proteomics study aimed to identify proteins associated with frailty, particularly the change from nonfrail to frail. The population-based Osteoporosis Prospective Risk Assessment cohort includes women all of whom are 75 years old at inclusion

The development of a coherent sense of self as a teacher often emerges from tensions between multiple and competing identities. While grappling with these tensions can be stressful, and sometimes demoralizing, it is through disruption that spaces for development are provided. For preservice teachers, identity development can be supported through engagement with these processes. With a focus on con

Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a malignant tumor. In a recent publication, we described the presence and distribution of CD8+ T cells in NPC and used the information to identify ‘inflamed’, ‘immune-excluded’, and ‘desert’ immune phenotypes, where ‘inflamed’ and ‘immune-excluded’ NPCs were correlated with CD8 T cell infiltration and survival. Arguably, more detailed and, in particular, spatially re

Food operations use vast amounts of water. To reduce utility costs as well as concerns regarding water depletion in ecosystems, food businesses usually try to reuse their water. However, this often needs a recycling process to ensure the water is of good quality and safe to reuse in a food environment. This paper presents a case study of a grower of beansprouts and other varieties of sprouted seed

Befolkningen i Sverige ökar för varje år, och äldre bostäder behöver ersättas med nya, därför behövs fler bostäder. Ett svenskt företag som är ledande inom modultillverkning av hus har önskemål om att effektivisera tillverkningen genom minskade tillverkningskostnader och minskad klimatpåverkan. Kostnadsnedbruten analys kommer att användas för att analysera tillverkningen från enskild råvara till m

This project, presented as a lecture recital is about my experimentation and discoveries of the benefits of learning classical music by ear and performing by memory. The focus of this topic is to learn a variety of audition orchestra excerpts and solo pieces common in the bassoon repertoire by ear, and reflect on whether my music performance anxiety is reduced by performing from memory and from th

Amyloid fibrils may adopt different morphologies depending on the solution conditions and the protein sequence. Here, we show that two chemically identical but morphologically distinct α-synuclein fibrils can form under identical conditions. This was observed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), circular dichroism (CD), and fluorescence spectroscopy, as well as by cryo-transmission electron micros

Construction and demolition workers are exposed to high levels of particulate matter (PM) from building materials throughout their working life. Although nano-enabled building materials (NEBMs) may improve the performance and functionality of buildings, concerns are being raised regarding health risks from occupational exposure to PM from NEBMs. In this work, an experimental set-up for integrated

Airborne SARS CoV 2 is considered to play a major role in covid 19 transmission, and has been found in several hospital environments. There is a need to investigate the presence of airborne SARS CoV 2 in other hospital areas than traditional infectious disease wards. The results from the present study can contribute to a better understanding of the risk of covid 19 transmission by aerosols at deli

Introduction/Background Completetumor resection is the most relevant prognostic factor for overall survival in high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients. The current standard for classification of postoperative residual disease is surgeon´s subjective evaluation at the end of surgery. Thus, a reliable objective predictive marker is currently missing.MethodologyIn this prospective single-ce

Accurate monitoring of glaciers’ extents and their dynamics is essential for improving our understanding of the impacts of climate and environmental changes in cold regions. The satellite-based Normalized Difference Snow Index (NDSI) has been widely used for mapping snow cover and glaciers around the globe. However, mapping glaciers in snow-covered areas using existing indices remains a challengin

Sommaren 1945 fördes tusentals överlevande från koncentrationslägret Bergen-Belsen till Sverige i en räddningsaktion genomförd av United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) i samarbete med Svenska Röda Korset och svenska myndigheter. Folke Bernadottes omtalade vita bussar var inte den enda svenska humanitära insatsen vid denna tid. Mottagandet av de medtagna och ofta sjuka ind
