This project was conducted focusing on the traditional Japanese dish sushi. The dish and concept have been on a steady rise on the Swedish market as well as becoming a favorite in the hearts of swedes. There are difficulties surrounding prepping and handling of sushi and malpractice can easily occur. If malpractice should occur, it could lead to many consequences as serious as food poisoning. From

I denna uppsats undersöks skälen till och rättfärdigandet av att hela kon-cerner hålls ansvariga för överträdelser av EU:s konkurrensrätt i stället för de företag inom koncernen som aktivt deltagit i överträdelsen. I uppsatsen undersöks presumtionen om att moderbolag utövar ett avgörande infly-tande, en rättslig mekanism som innebär att ett moderbolag tillskrivs an-svar utan att några ytterligare This thesis examines the rationale and justification of imputing liability for infringements of EU competition law to entire corporate groups rather than on the legal entities within that group that actively participated in the infringement. It explores the presumption of decisive influence, a legal mechanism which attributes liability on a parent company without adduc-ing any further evidence of

This thesis explores the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to convert natural language questions into SQL (Structured Query Language) queries within the field of sports analytics, with a focus on a real-world use case for Spiideo, a provider of cloud-based video analysis tools. The study compares different system designs, including single-agent and multi-agent setups, various prompting strategie

PUS7 role in cellular adaptation to metabolic stress When we hear the word metabolism, our minds often jump to calories and diets. Cellular metabolism however refers to all essential mechanisms that keep our body up and running. Unsurprisingly, complex networks navigate this sensitive system, with many pathways that allow adaptation to changing and stressful environments. If this delicate balance

The global food system is facing significant challenges, for example, Sweden is a big partner of the European Union in terms of imported and exported food, like many countries in the world, Sweden depends on other countries for food production. In addition to it, the agriculture industry is responsible for 26% of greenhouse gas emissions in the world, due to the transportation of food, use of land

This study aimed to determine the optimal method for extracting rosmarinic acid (RA) from lemon balm using pressurized liquid extraction (PLE). Additionally, the effect of filtration during sample preparation on the concentration of rosmarinic acid (RA) was investigated. Moreover, the RA content was compared in various lemon balm samples including: commercial dried lemon balm, commercial lemon bal

Food scarcity is a common occurrence for farmers in the rural Himalayan regions. As fruits and vegetables are a crucial part of most farmers' diet, food deficiency can become evident in between harvesting periods, when there is no fresh supply. A lack of proper storage facilities and preservation methods further amplify this as the commodities that are stored can start to rot. The farmers do t

This study aims to highlight the practical work and experiences of an organization working for Roma rights and inclusion in southern Sweden. Through semi-structured interviews with the agents of CRS (Center Roma South), this study strives for a deeper understanding of the organizations work, needs, and experiences with the Roma population in southern Sweden. The questions to be answered through th

Stripping gas is generally used to improve hydrogen yields in fermentations. Since CO2 is relatively easy to separate from hydrogen it could be an interesting stripping gas. However, a higher partial CO2 pressure is accompanied with an increased CO2 uptake in the liquid, where it hydrolyses and induces an increased requirement of NaOH to maintain the pH. This enhances the osmotic pressure in the c

A lysimeter method was evaluated for its suitability in gas emission studies by studying the effect of temperature on CO2 emissions (dark respiration) from cultivated peat soils. The study was carried out with organic soils from two locations in Sweden, a typical cultivated fen peat with low pH and high organic matter content (Orke) and a more uncommon fen peat with high pH and low organic matter

Background: Leptin resistance is considered a primary risk factor for obesity. It has been hypothesized that dietary cereal grain protein could cause leptin resistance by preventing leptin from binding to its receptor. Non-degraded dietary wheat protein has been found in human serum at a mean level of 41 ng/mL. Here, we report our findings from testing whether enzymatically digested gluten from wh

The dic(9;20)(p13.2;q11.2) is reported to be present in similar to 2% of childhood B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP ALL). However, it easily escapes detection by G-banding analysis and its true prevalence is hence unknown. We performed interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization analyses-in a three-step manner-using probes for: (i) CDKN2A at 9p21, (ii) 20p and 20q subtelomeres

Exosomes are secreted nanovesicles that are able to transfer RNA and proteins to target cells. The emerging role of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) exosomes as promoters of aerobic ATP synthesis restoration in damaged cells, prompted us to assess whether they contain an extramitochondrial aerobic respiration capacity. Exosomes were isolated from culture medium of human MSC from umbilical cord of ≥37-w

A study was undertaken to provide data on growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR) and faecal discharge of yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) fed three commercial diets used previously to culture this species in New Zealand. Fish were raised in tanks from 0.4 to 1.2 kg over the spring (water temperature 14–17°C) and summer (17–22°C) periods. There were considerable differences in volumetric and mass

The dryer fabric influences the mass and heat transfer, separating the hot, moist paper from the ambient drying air. A dynamic model is presented describing this mass and heat transfer in a dryer fabric based on the fabric parameters: effective diffusivity, porosity, tortuosity, calliper, effective permeability, thermal conductivity and basis weight. The model predicts moisture, temperature and pr

Ericsson India is looking into the possibility to enter a new business in the country. The business is a “telecom site leasing” service which would be included in Ericsson’s service portfolio. Services are an increasingly important part of the company’s total revenues. Demand for so called turn-key services, meaning full implementation and control over a customer’s network, is an example of a serv

The Single Molecule Spectroscopy Group at the department of Chemical Physics in the Chemical Centre of Lund University conducts research involving spectroscopy on single molecules of organic dyes. Fluorescence microscopy using a wide-field scheme has been used and such a scheme has many advantages such as full image capture at once when using a high sensitivity CCD or CMOS camera. Using different

Previous studies of stress and coping regarding urban bus drivers describe an unhealthy occupation in areas of psychological and physiological factors. In the present study a social constructionist approach was used to investigate Swedish urban bus drivers' constructs of stress and coping regarding passengers. Semi-structered interviews were performed with ten bus drivers, nine males and one f
