The aim of this thesis was threefold: (i) study the association behaviour of β-casein, (ii) study the electrostatic and conformational properties of β-casein, and (iii) evaluate the possibility of using β-casein as a model protein for the acidic proline rich protein (PRP-1). Dynamic light scattering (DLS) was used to determine the size of β-casein aggregates that were formed in aqueous solutions
Barnets tidiga kost kan påverka risken att utveckla glutenintolerans (celiaki).Mängden gluten i kosten upp till två års ålder och risk att utveckla celiaki undersöktes.Blodprov från svenska TEDDY-barn analyserades med avseende på transglutaminas-autoantikroppar (tTGA). Glutenintag beräknades med hjälp av 3-dagars matdagböcker från 9-, 12-, 18- och 24-månadersbesöken.TEDDY-barn som utvecklat celiak
In 2013, the EU established a Common European Asylum System in order to harmonize the asylum laws throughout Europe. One of the directives in this common system is a revised version of the Reception Conditions Directive from 2003, establishing rules for housing, clothing and food for the asylum applicants. The directive from 2003 should be in place in all Member States of the EU and on the 21st of
Rationale: Atrial fibrillation causes one-fifth of ischemic strokes, with a high risk of early recurrence. Although long-term anticoagulation is highly effective for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation, initiation after stroke is usually delayed by concerns over intracranial hemorrhage risk. Direct oral anticoagulants offer a significantly lower risk of intracranial hemorrhage than other anti
The ability of the fire service to save lives in building fires has a profound impact on planning. However, very little empirical data are available on how different factors affect this capability—or even how many that are rescued annually. The current paper aims to partly fill this gap with an assessment of all rescues performed by the fire departments in Sweden during 2017. A combination of inci
In recent years, weather-related extreme events have shown the limits of technical approaches to urban water challenges and highlighted the urgent need to rethink the relationship between cities and water and to see water as a partner in shaping transformative, climate-safe and just urban futures. However, existing scientific studies depicting future trajectories of urban water management have str
The growing need for human-machine interfaces (HMIs) underscores the importance of sensory feedback, with electrical stimulation offering efficient interaction in various applications. While its sensory effects are extensively studied, investigations into the reaction time (RT) following transcutaneous electrical stimulation (TES) remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate how stimulation parame
The ability to predict the absorption of exenatide (Ex), a GLP-1 analogue, after oral dosing to rats in self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS), using in vitro methods, was assessed. Ex was complexed with soybean phosphatidylcholine (SPC) prior to loading into SNEDDS. A design of experiments (DoE) approach was employed to develop SNEDDS incorporating medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), m
This thesis examines how female entrepreneurs in China’s cultural and creative industries construct and negotiate entrepreneurial legitimacy through narrative practices and identity work. Drawing on thirteen semi-structured interviews and eleven publicly available podcast accounts, covering twenty-four entrepreneurs in total, the study combines narrative analysis and discourse analysis to examine
This report has been written as part of the ERASMUS+ project CLARITY. The aim of CLARITY is to enhance educators' skills for nurturing resilience and reducing climate anxiety of learners through trauma-informed and creative approaches that link inner and outer dimensions of change. Sustainability and climate education tend to focus on environmental facts, whilst little room is given to the human d
This article responds to the general neglect of legal culture in the study of climate mobilities. It presents a case study of climate mobilities in an unplanned settlement in Maputo, Mozambique, exploring how legal culture influenced residents’ decision-making processes as they navigated climate-related risks in their daily lives. We demonstrate that legal culture can facilitate climate mobilities
The impoundment of hydroelectric reservoirs is associated with significant emissions of green house gases. In addition, the loss of the pre-flooded landscape is a substantial factor in the long-term carbon footprint of hydroelectric reservoirs. The Paix-des-Braves reservoir in Québec was one of the first reservoirs to be studied in regards of its total carbon footprint, combining pre- and post-imp
This thesis investigates how discrete-event simulation (DES) can serve as decision support for evaluating the performance of an Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) within the inbound material flow at Company X. The AS/RS, referred to as the Highbay, has been identified as the primary bottleneck of the inbound material flow at the factory. Its performance is therefore a major concern, pa
Introduction – On-site sanitation systems (OSS) are the primary sanitation technology used to manage household fecal sludge in the Global South, including Kigali City. Poor quality OSS can lead to the spread of fecal-oral diseases and water resource pollution. Previous studies have demonstrated that OSS in Kigali are ineffective. In 2018, the Rwanda Standards Board adopted ISO 24521 to guide the d
The Middle Danube (Carpathian) Basin is considered to encompass some of the thickest and most complete records of aeolian dust deposition in Europe, covering the last two glacial–interglacial cycles. In this study, independent, published chronologies based on absolute dating methods were compiled for 34 loess-palaeosol sequences and modelled using Bayesian statistics. Mass accumulation rates (MARs
Nickel phosphide is a valuable material in high-temperature brazing and joining applications, offering excellent thermal stability for temperatures up to 400°C. Nickel phosphide is used as powder form for joining applications and therefore it is imperative to study the formation as well as interaction of Ni2P particles with Brazing with nickel-chromium-based fillers is widely used to join stainles
The book’s aim is to systematize normative assessments of the Court of Justice of the European Union’s decision-making process, defining ‘normative’ as an evaluation based on openly acknowledged, theoretically informed standards that take into account the institutional reality of the Court. This is important because the stakes are very high: the Court is a very influential institution, and the mot
The major challenges faced by confectionery supply chain are lack of information, traceability, managing the ownership of goods across supply chains, inability to track vendors in real-time. Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) in Industry 4.0 era help organisations to overcome these challenges by guaranteeing authentic information, real-time visibility, and transparency across the supply chain
