Local targeted treatment of bone and joint infections using antibiotic-containing carriers is a common practice today. A recently FDA approved biphasic calcium sulphate/hydroxyapatite (CaS/HA) carrier containing gentamicin has been reported to give a sustained drug release, highly effective in eradicating bone infections. We present the first study evaluating the widely used aminoglycoside tobramy

Making It Home: An Aesthetic Methodological Contribution to the Study of Migrant Home-Making and Politics of Integration (aka MaHoMe) is a NordForsk-funded project involving eight researchers from universities in the UK, Denmark and Sweden. It examines how migrants make and make sense of home amidst the complex and divergent politics of integration in these three so-called “host societies”. My rol

Background and Objective: Immobilization of enzymes as cross-linked aggregates is one of the cheapest, simplest and effective techniques for improving their stability and reusability and even avoiding contamination of the product with the catalyst. Clopidogrel is a widely used antiplatelet drug, only Sisomer is the biologically active enantiomer produced by resolution of the racemic compound. In t

Currently, a high efficiency single layer metal halide perovskite solar cell employs a TiO2 mesoporous layer as an electron transporting material and spiro-OMeTAD as a hole transporting material. The efficient charge carrier separation and retarded interfacial charge recombination are expected to achieve a high solar to energy conversion efficiency. In this presentation, we will demonstrate how st

Vårt samhälle står inför dubbla utmaningar vad gäller att ställa om till mer hållbar energi- och resursförbruking, och mer hållbara ekonomiska och sociala system, inklusive att minska växande ojämlikheter. För att nå Sveriges klimatmål samt Agenda 2030-målen måste resurs- och energiförbrukningen signifikant reduceras. Samtidigt finns det väldigt lite evidens för att denna reducering kan ly

The following essay aims to explore and analyse Niccoló Machiavelli’s, primarily, political and ideological use of history in his two most well known pieces of writing: The Prince and Discourses. The essay's theoretical framework is that of Klas-Göran Karlssons theory, namely use of history. In using this theory one analyse the, most often written or verbal, intermediation of historical knowle

This essay conducts a semiotic analysis of four Walt Disney Pictures films, two from the 1990s and two from the past decade. The films were selected based on their release periods and shared narratives. The first two films analyzed are Vaiana from 2016 and Pocahontas from 1995, chosen for their focus on independent female protagonists. The other two films, En annorlunda värld from 2022 and Lejonku

En studie om hur barn, historiskt sett, har porträtterats inom tv i fyra av SVT:s julkalendrar. Detta för att utröna vilken utveckling av synen på barn och barndom i Sverige under perioden 1969–1994 som de reflekterar. Eftersom det årligen återkommande programmet skapades, och som fortfarande är aktuellt, för att tilltala den breda allmänheten ger en undersökning av julkalendrarnas porträttering a

The aim of this study is to find out what teachers say their primary focus is when planning to teach an object of learning. The study is carried out in two different cultural contexts, Sweden and Hong Kong, and based on the framework of variation theory, which has a two-fold focus, namely both what teachers do and what students learn at school. Fifteen semi-structured open-ended interviews were co

Complement-mediated kidney diseases are ultrarare conditions characterized by excess complement activation related in most cases to complement gene variants or circulating autoantibodies. These conditions are chronic and can lead to kidney failure. They include atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), C3 glomeru-lopathy (C3G), and, to a certain extent, immune complex-membranoproliferative glomer

The increase in stride time variability (STV) in people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has been shown to precede further cognitive decline. It is not fully understood to what extent these changes in STV can benefit from physical exercise, if intensity of exercise matters and if a positive effect on STV could also benefit cognition.

Förklaringen till kronförsvagningen är enklare än vad de flesta tror, skriver nationalekonomerna Fredrik N G Andersson och Lars Jonung.

The building sector is responsible for more than 40% of the energy use and 32% of carbon dioxide emissions in the European Union (EU). Previous research has shown that the present rate of energy retrofit and refurbishment in Europe is far below (< 50%) than that is required to meet the EU’s building related energy efficiency goals for 2020.Appropriate policy interventions for deep renovation is pe

Low dimensional lead-free metal halides have become the spotlight of the research on developing multifunctional optoelectronic materials as their properties show a wide range of tunability. However, most reported low dimensional metal halides only function in the ultra-violet to visible range due to their large bandgap. Moreover, the organic cation based low dimensional metal halides show limited

A full-scale membrane bioreactor (MBR) with ultrafiltration, followed by granular activated carbon (GAC), was examined to determine the potential of reusing treated water as a source of drinking water or for irrigation. The major part of the bacteria removal took place in the MBR, whereas the GAC removed substantial amounts of organic micropollutants. Annual variations in inflow and infiltration r

Kärt barn har många värden, eller vad är det man brukar säga? Skogen är älskad och brukad av oss året om och i alla delar av landet. Det är förståeligt att det framkallar stora debatter och delade åsikter. Likaså gör EU om man kollar på vilken nyhetskälla som helst. Hur blir det då när EU ska komma in och bestämma över Sveriges skog. Kaos antagligen. En av EU:s förordningar är den så kallade ’LandThe forest contributes multiple services, among others renewable materials, carbon sequestration, and recreational value. This thesis studied the effects on forestry stemming from the revised Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry regulation. The question is how reduced logging, which is in line with the new regulation, affects social welfare when incorporating the benefits of ecosystem services.
