An Experimental Investigation of Dry Thermopressed Cellulose

Plastic waste, especially from packaging, keeps increasing. As a consequence, harmful effects on animals and whole ecosystems as well as increasing greenhouse gas emissions can be seen. More sustainable materials are therefore needed, and dry thermopressed cellulose shows promising potential in replacing plastics in several packaging applications. Being a novel type of moulded pulp process, the re

Optimising microfluidic preparation of lipid sponge phase nanoparticles for biomolecule encapsulation

Läkemedelstransportering med lipidnanopartiklar (LNP), särskilt svampfas lipidnanopartiklar, har varit intressanta på grund av dess möjlighet att inkapsla läkemedel och överföra läkemedlet genom cellmembranet. Svampfas LNP formuleringen kan påverkas av lipidens molekylära struktur, temperaturen, pH-värdet, utspädningen, bufferten och existerandet av en stabilisator. Projektets syfte var att ersättDrug delivery with lipid nanoparticles, especially sponge phase lipid nanoparticles (LNP), has been well studied because of its ability for drug encapsulation and transferring the drug through the cell membrane. The sponge phase LNP formulation could be affected by the molecular structure of the lipid, the temperature, pH, dilution, the buffer, and the addition of a stabiliser. This project aimed

Sustainability assessment on different crops for aquaponics : an evaluation table for growing crops using wastewater from juvenile Atlantic salmon in RAS

Aquaculture is an expanding industry, supplying closer to 50% of the total fish consumption. Commercialized fish production faces sustainability challenges which are important to address. Aquaponics uses wastewater from aquaculture to grow plants using hydroponics. This is a step towards making the industry more sustainable, but the practice is not straightforward. The plants and the fish thrive a

Mina läppdrillar, utifrån & in. En självstudie baserad på Kopprasch etyd nr. 5 för valthorn

”Läppdrill” är en för många hornister svårbemästrad avancerad teknisk färdighet. Det finns många olika beskrivna metoder för optimal inlärning. Detta arbete är en självstudie med Kopprasch etyd nr 5 som övningsmetod och utvärderad med regelbunden flexibel endoskopisk filmning av svalg och larynx under övning. Läppdrillen kunde visualiseras som en rörelse i tungan medan anspänning och rörelse i andThe ”lip trill” is for many horn players a complicated, advanced technical skill. There are many documented methods for optimal learning. This essay is a self-study using Kopprasch etude no 5 as practice routine and evaluated using repeated flexible endoscopic video documentation of the pharynx and larynx while practicing. The lip trill could be visualised as rhythmical movement of the tongue whil

Can ancient pathogens emerging from glaciers and permafrost reach Europe by aerosolization?

Glaciers and permafrost capture bacteria and viruses when they form, which can be suspended for millennia. This includes long since extinct pathogens which are functionally novel. As polar regions get warmer these pathogens will emerge and spread through the local ecosystem, potentially altering it. Ancient pathogens do not only pose a risk to their local environments as they can be aerosolized an
