A green route for the production of 6-carbon polymer building blocks 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, adipic acid and ϵ-caprolactone from 1,6-hexanediol, a hydrogenation product of biobased 5-hydroxymethylfurfural is reported. Gluconobacter oxydans oxidized 1,6-hexanediol completely to adipic acid, and selectively at pH 6-7 to 6-hydroxyhexanoic acid, which was converted to ϵ-caprolactone by catalytic cycli

Cities face a host of challenges including urbanisation and climate change and must quickly adapt and integrate sustainability solutions to deal with these challenges. One platform seen as a mechanism to support innovation for sustainability in cities is the concept of the living lab. A living lab is a user-centred, open innovation ecosystem that seeks to engage academia, industry and municipaliti
New legislation involving emissions from internal combustion engines are pushing the manu-facturers to develop new technology faster than ever before with the amount of greenhouse gases. To meet the standards new concepts need to be developed with lower fuel consumption and emissions. This thesis covers the implementation of a couple of methods to achieve this. These concepts are DEP with fully va
Den här studien undersökte effekter av en stresshanteringsintervention, som genomfördes med åtta elever på en svensk gymnasieskola under hösten 2015. Hypoteserna inför projektet var att interventionen som varade under åtta veckor skulle ha en positiv effekt på användandet av adaptiva copingstrategier samt reducera upplevd stressnivå och öka självskattad hälsa. De utfallsmått som användes var PerceThis study examined the effects of a stress management intervention that was carried out with eight Swedish high school students (Swedish gymnasium) during the fall semester of 2015. The hypotheses were that the eight week intervention would have a positive impact on the usage of adaptive coping strategies, reduce perceived stress for the participants and increase self-estimated overall health. Th
The aim of this project was to determine the consequences of the large-scale introduction of wood-based biofuels in the road transport sector. Therefore a model has been developed to project the demand for wood in Sweden in the period from 2007 to 2050. The wood-using sectors that were taken into account are: the sawmill industry; the paper and pulp industry, which was split in three: integrated c
Horisonter med subfossila stubbar och rötter av tall (Pinus sylvestris) är vanliga i stratigra-fier från torvmarker i norra Europa. Dessa är tydliga indikationer på att det under holocen funnits perioder med tillräckligt gynnsamma förhållanden för tallar att växa på mossar. Tall kan endast växa på mossar när ytan är tillräckligt torr, och därför är rester av tallar på mossar goda indikationer på eHorizons rich in subfossil stumps and roots of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris) are frequently found in stratigraphies of northern European peatlands, providing clear evidence of Holocene periods with favourable conditions for bog-pine growth. The pines could only grow when bog-surface wetness was sufficiently low, and the presence of their remains is therefore a good indicator of past climatic condi
Ethical trends across the Western hemisphere of Global Civil Society (GCS) may equal ethics to be out of date, unless it is globalized in, an ethically justifiable manner, which in this paper is called ”ethicalization”. Whether the ethical current can catch momentum with globalizations speed of time, concurrently maintaining consistency is a challenge faced by Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), a
Streptomycetes grow as filamentous cells called hyphae. These cells elongate using a polar method of growth where the cell wall synthesis is restricted to the hyphal tips. It has been proved that the protein DivIVA directs the cell wall assembly to the poles and initiate branch formation along the lateral cell wall. Observations of DivIVA shows that it is regulated by AfsK, a Ser/Thr protein kinas
The purpose of this study is to conduct the Life Cycle Assessment of IKEA’s two Sofa products and provide recommendations for reducing the overall carbon footprints. Different phases of supply chains are included in the scope of this study, i.e., selection of raw materials, their acquisition, production phase, and transportation of final product to market regions. The benefit of the study is that
The mycelium enables a fungus to explore and interact with spatially and temporally heterogenous environments. It operates at a range of scales, with hyphal traits and cellular events affecting network and colony behavior. Recently, the fungal mycelium has also been used to produce new, sustainable biomaterials which can serve as alternatives to numerous non-renewable or polluting materials and pr
This thesis proposes a fully integrated transformer-coupled active power and antenna impedance detector for WLAN 802.11ax 5 and 6 GHz frequency bands. The detector is integrated into a transceiver, utilising the receive chain to down convert sensed RF voltage and current and digitally calculate the active power and antenna impedance on-chip. The RF current measurement is realized by a sense windin
Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera de psykometriska egenskaperna och den kliniska användbarheten av en svensk version av Hayling Sentence Completion Test gällande att skilja på vuxna med attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, n = 47), autism (n = 33), och med båda diagnoserna (n = 31). Hayling-testet är ett neuropsykologiskt test skapat för att mäta initiering och inhibition. Den pThis study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and the clinical utility of a Swedish version of the Hayling Sentence Completion Test in distinguishing between adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, n = 47), autism spectrum disorder (ASD, n = 33) and co-occurring ADHD and ASD (n = 31). The Hayling test is a neuropsychological test designed to measure response initiat
