At the beginning of the summer of 2023, a staple figure of Italian culture and politics passed away after living in the public eye for three decades. Everybody in Italy had an opinion on Silvio Berlusconi, a man whose face was easily seen at least once a day on televisions, newspapers and gossip columns. News of his death circulated quickly, and journalists rushed to comment on his political caree
Achilles tendon rupture is becoming more prevalent with an increasing population of middle aged people participating in recreational sports. A torn Achilles tendon will likely not regain its original function, and it is unknown what treatment options are optimal. The Achilles tendon structure and how the tendon heals after a rupture varies between humans. A potentially useful tool in understanding
In the automotive sector purchasing plays a key role in strategic management, as most companies are pressured by constant innovation and cost pressure. Hence, most companies focus on lean management and outsource many of their business activities to stay competitive. The supplier selection is crucial to be able to efficiently and effectively carry out business operations. Therefore, in order to es
The purpose of this project was to determine the requirements needed for a soft sugar reduced gelatin confectionery. The project was created together with the confectionery company BUBS Godis AB. The product needed to have qualities that are sufficient enough compared to the consumers’ sensory desires. The sugar substitutes were not allowed to be metabolized into sugar in the body, have any laxati
In Sweden processes concerning physical planning have changed and developed in a direction where dialogue has become increasingly important in planning policy and practice (Khakee, 2000). The co-creative dialogue (Adler, 2015) is a way to achieve ambitions to include groups with few resources, counteract political inclusion and actively work towards everyone’s right to participate and have influen
The evolution of World Wide Web (WWW) into semantic web is happening with the aid of standards like Resource Description Framework (RDF), SPARQL and a few others from World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Over the years, semantic data management technologies have been introduced as software platforms commonly known as RDF stores. Lately these RDF stores have been tested for processing and maintenance o
Accelerator programs that support enterprises in their early stages are growing in numbers, acknowledged by many as an important organizational form for achieving economic growth. However, focusing solely on economic growth has proven to be detrimental for the environment and not enough to solve the challenges of our current social systems. As a response, accelerators and social enterprises that f
Miljöproblemen vet inga gränser och påverkar hela mänskligheten kollektivt. Historiskt har dock tillgången till rättslig prövning i svensk rätt kretsat kring individuella intressen. Århuskonventionen, som både Sverige och EU sedan år 2005 är parter till, introducerar en bindande mekanism där miljöorganisationer ges rätt att företräda det kollektiva intresset genom att väcka talan mot myndighetsåtgEnvironmental challenges know no borders and collectively impact all of humanity. Historically, access to judicial review in Swedish law has centered around individual interests. The Aarhus Convention, to which both Sweden and the EU have been parties since 2005, introduces a binding mechanism granting environmental organizations the right to represent collective interests by initiating lawsuits a
This master thesis aimed at exploring different methods of producing a beverage based on Lantmännen’s Swedish grown white beans. A flour was milled from beans that had been soaked and boiled in order to inactivate antinutrients such as lectins, trypsin inhibitors and phytic acid, and subsequently dried and milled. A water-based beverage with 8% bean flour was boiled for 5 min. 1.5% of rapeseed oil
Recent advances in the sequencing technology have led to an increasing pressure on the computer programs used for analysing the sequence data. The programs should be able to provide accurate analysis in a reasonable time span. 16S and 18S rRNA analysis is performed by using PCR to amplify the genes from microorganisms present in a sample followed by sequencing of the amplicons. The result is files
The aim of the Master’s thesis was to evaluate the performance of two existing extraction nozzles at Nederman, and to use the findings to create a concept for a new nozzle. The purpose of the new nozzle was to be attached to a welding cobot, resulting in a change in requirements and design possibilities. The project followed the product design process as described by Ulrich and Ep- pinger, consist
The recent development of metal additive manufacturing has opened up new opportunities for component design, enabling the production of more complex structures than previously possible. This newfound freedom can be exploited to reduce mass, improve structural performance and adapt the geometry to specific requirements. Topology optimization is an effective tool for utilizing this design freedom, a
Buffer management for biopharmaceutical purification processes include buffer preparation, storage of buffers and restocking the buffers when needed. This is usually performed manually by the operators for small scale operations. However, buffer management can become a bottleneck when running integrated continuous purification processes for prolonged times, even at small scale. To address this iss
Universities are increasingly being seen as a positive vehicle for territorial development and regional transformation, with an important role in enhancing Social, Economic and Sustainable Development of territories. The world’s sustainability challenges are listed in the United Nation’s Agenda 2030, that includes Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) as actors that can work in partnership with oth
Abstract: In order to mimic physical characteristics of solid fat, ethylcellulose (EC) was used as an oleogelator in ice creams made with high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO). The aim was to improve structure of ice cream made with fully liquid vegetable oil by inhibiting droplet coalescence and to enable a colloidal fat network by making the oil droplets solid-like. Two different methods for incorpora
