A kinetic model describing the enzymatic saccharification of wheat starch by a mixture of ol-amylase and amyloglucosidase has been developed. The model describes the influence of pH, glucose inhibition and starch and enzyme concentration, The results of experimental saccharification under different physical conditions, eg pH and temperature, were used to determine the parameters in the model. The
OBJECTIVES: The objective was to analyse whether a favourable change in risk factors, caused by a comprehensive risk factor modification programme, affected intima-media thickness (IMT) in the common carotid artery, and whether any such change was associated with a change in cardiovascular events during a 6-year follow-up.

Popular Abstract in Swedish "Det var en gång en kung som aldrig gjorde något bra för sina undersåtar. Han gjorde faktiskt aldrig nånting. Det enda han ville var att äta och dricka, och berusa sig tillsammans med sitt hov. Under tiden svalt folket ihjäl." Anna frågar: varför kunde inte människorna äta hemma? "Tyst nu, och lyssna på fortsättningen…" (citat ur avhandlingen) Martina Camparts forskniAbstract The point of departure for this study is the author's experience as educator in a residential home for children (age 6-14) with social-emotional problems, in Italy, between 1980 and 1989. One important element of the pedagogical approach was the use of narratives (personal, of others, of fiction) to prompt children's interest/ motivation to reflect about issues of personal concern.

Barn och unga lever i en värld där de riskerar att möta svårigheter som kan påverka deras hälsa och utveckling negativt. Interventioner för att stärka barns motståndskraft behövs för att skydda mot negativa konsekvenser rotade i utmaningar under uppväxten. Traumamedveten omsorg (TMO) är en psykoedukativ intervention, som ges till vuxna i barnets närmiljö. Tidigare forskning har undersökt TMO utifrIn today’s society, children and adolescents face adversities that can impair their mental health and psychological development. Interventions that aim to strengthen children’s resilience are crucial in order to protect children from detrimental outcomes. Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) is a psychoeducational intervention, which is administered to adults in children’s environments. Previous research ha
På senare tid har en särskild typ av företag, vars affärsverksamhet går ut på att hyra bostadslägenheter för att vidareupplåta dem till företag som behöver personalbostäder, vuxit fram på hyresmarknaden i Sverige. Detta fenomen är vanligast i storstadsregionerna, företagen brukar kallas för mellanhandsföretag och bostäderna som hyrs ut för företagsbostäder. En av reglerna som aktualiseras vid dennIn recent years, a new category of business has emerged within the Swedish rental housing market, operating by leasing residential flats and subsequently subletting them to companies in need of staff accommodation. This phenomenon is most prevalent in metropolitan areas. Such businesses are usually referred to as intermediary companies, and the flats as corporate apartments. One of the legal provi
Under de senaste decennierna har EU:s polissamarbete utvecklats i takt med att gränsöverskridande brottslighet, terrorism och organiserad brottslighet blivit alltmer komplex i sin karaktär. För att effektivisera samarbetet mellan medlemsstaternas brottsbekämpande myndigheter har EU därför genomfört ett flertal rättsliga reformer, däribland antagandet av en EU-kodex för polis- samarbete med tillhörIn recent decades, police cooperation within the EU has evolved in response to the growing complexity of cross-border crime, terrorism, and organized criminal networks. To enhance the efficiency of cooperation between na- tional law enforcement authorities in the Member States, the EU has intro- duced several legal reforms, including the adoption of an EU Police Cooper- ation Code and related lega

Behovet av att rena avloppsvatten från mikroföroreningar, såsom läkemedelsrester, har uppmärksammats de senaste åren då analysmetoderna har förbättrats och kunskapen om riskerna kring utsläppen har ökat. Detta har ökat intresset för att implementera ozonering som ett avancerat reningssteg på avloppsreningsverk i Sverige och i andra länder. Vid ozonbehandling av avloppsvatten finns det en risk för The interest of reducing micropollutants, such as pharmaceuticals, in wastewater has increased due to increased knowledge around the risk of releasing micropollutants and improved analysing methods. Ozonation is an advanced treatment method which has the potential of removing these substances and it is therefore of interest to implement the technology in wastewater treatment plants in Sweden and o
