Popular science summary Complex I, let me see your true color Every day of our lives our body performs many different tasks to let us survive, such as brain activity, muscle contractions or smaller tasks like cell- repair or -division. All those tasks require energy. The energy currency of our body is called ATP (adenosintriphosphate), a molecule that lets us perform many reactions in our body.
To achieve a society with sustainable development, the use of valuable non-renewable resources, i.e., the crude oil used for bituminous binder and aggregates must be changed. Meanwhile, the road network is expanding worldwide, requiring more recourses. The asphalt concrete can be recycled up to 100% after being removed from an existing road pavement, which ensures the sustainability of the asphalt
This empirical study attempts to assess the use of French (and other languages) within a European institution to illustrate the following: the daily practical French used within a single directorate-general, the awareness at the directorate of how France is trying to increase the use of French especially during the French presidency 2022, and the attitude and use of French inside and outside the w
This essay aims to investigate which results can be derived from an economic growth rate that has been adjusted for environmental damage. In order to do so the usual BNI per capita growth is compared with an adjusted BNI per capita growth. The adjusted growth is derived from the World Banks Adjusted net savings, a way of measuring a nation’s wealth development through the national savings. This me
Automatic segmentation of organs and tissues in computed tomography (CT) images can aid clinicians in anatomical contextualization for planning surgery or dosimetry. CT scans can cover varying axial ranges of the body. This thesis aims to develop a neural network based on vision transformers for segmenting organs and tissues in CT images of arbitrary axial ranges. Two models are presented, one bas
The aim of this master’s thesis is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the concept of representation in relation to personal archives. By examining how archivists understand and relate to the concept of representation in their professional role as well as in their work with personal archives, the intention is to clarify the practical implications of the concept. Empirical data has been gath
System cost reductions and development of standardised plug-and-function systems are some of the most important goals for solar heating technology development. Retrofitting hot water boilers in single-family houses when installing solar collectors has the potential to significantly reduce both material and installation costs. In this study, the TRNSYS simulation models of the retrofitting solar th
Objectives. To study the correlation between Sunnybrook and House-Brackmann facial grading systems at different time points during the course of peripheral facial palsy. Study Design. Prospective multicenter trial. Setting. Seventeen otorhinolaryngological centers. Subjects and Methods. Data are part of the Scandinavian Bell's palsy study. The facial function of 1920 patients with peripheral facia
The COST 2100 channel model is a geometry based stochastic channel model (GSCM) for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) simulations. This paper presents parameterization and validation of the channel model for peer-to-peer communication in the 300 MHz band. Measurements were carried out in outdoor environments for both line-of-sight (LOS) and non line-of-sight (NLOS) scenarios. The COST 2100 cha
In neuroblastoma (NB) patients, minimal residual disease (MRD) can be detected by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) using NB-specific target genes, such as PHOX2B and TH. However, it is unknown whether the mRNA levels of these targets vary either during treatment or at relapse. If marker genes are not stably expressed, estimation of MRD levels in bone marrow (BM) or peripheral blood will be hamper
Measurements of cross sections of inelastic and diffractive processes in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies were carried out with the ALICE detector. The fractions of diffractive processes in inelastic collisions were determined from a study of gaps in charged particle pseudorapidity distributions: for single diffraction (diffractive mass M-X < 200 GeV/c(2)) sigma(SD)/sigma(INEL) = 0.21 +/-
HAMLET (Human Alpha-lactalbumin Made LEthal to Tumor cells) is a complex of partially unfolded human alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid that kills many different types of tumor cells and shows therapeutic efficacy in animal models and clinical studies. This thesis aims to (1) elucidate the structure of HAMLET and the exposure of biologically active domains, (2) define the contribution of lipids to t
This study addresses development of a content-valid cross-Nordic version of the Housing Enabler and investigation of its inter-rater reliability when used in occupational therapy rating situations, involving occupational therapists, clients, and their home environments. The instrument was translated from the original Swedish version of the Housing Enabler, and adapted according to accessibility no
Den offentliga upphandlingen, inom Europeiska unionen, står för totalt 14% av unionens BNP. På grund av att den offentliga upphandlingen utgör en stor del av unionens BNP är användandet av en miljösmart offentlig upphandling en viktig faktor för att nå unionens högt ställda klimatmål. Uppsatsen kommer att behandla de rättsregler och rättsliga principer som har uppkommit till följd av rättsreglernPublic procurement, within the European Union, accounts for a total of 14% of the Union's GDP. Due to the fact that public procurement constitutes a large part of the Union's GDP, the use of environmentally smart public procurement is an important factor in reaching the Union's ambitious climate goals. The essay will deal with the legal rules and legal principles that have arisen as a
I Sverige finns en lång tradition av att bygga småhus i trä. År 2022 beräknas det byggas ca 15 000 småhus varav den absoluta majoriteten byggs i trä. Att bygga mer i trä är något som eftersträvas då det är betydligt mer klimatvänligt än andra material. För att bygga tak används oftast prefabricerade takstolar där råspont eller plywoodskivor används som undertak. Det finns ofta inget extra system fIn Sweden there is a long-standing tradition of building houses out of wood. In the year 2022 it is expected that 15 000 houses will be built, where the majority are built out of wood. There is an aim to build more out of wood since it has less impact on the climate than other materials. To build roofs prefabricated trusses are often used, and the trusses are covered by tongue and groove (t&g)
Introduction: The novel external beam therapy technique using ultra-high dose rates known as FLASH has become known for its normal tissue sparing effect. Currently in Lund, veterinary clinical trials are carried out on canine patients using electrons with ultra- high dose rates. By implementing a treatment planning system for FLASH-irradiation, the dose distribution can be visualized and the gantr
Geography is the study of knowledge in a given location, and history is the study of knowledge over time. The combination of changes over time has always been challenging to visualize in maps. The main aim of this thesis was to analyze differences between various methods used to visualize spatio-temporal data with open-source web mapping technology. The methodology of this thesis has been split in
City densification in Sweden has decreased the amount of green areas in Swedish cities. This undermines the existing ecosystem services that could for instance provide climate change mitigation and adaption. Green roofs are considered to be a product that can strengthen or substitute the urban ecosystem services produced by natural vegetation. This paper investigates whether retrofitting green roo
This study aims to research the motives for and value creation from M&A transactions in the Swedish Real Estate Market. All transactions in the period 2017-2021 were analyzed in detail. Interviews were conducted with companies that participated in these transactions, the purpose of these interviews were getting official motives and value creating factors from M&A transactions. Finally, 17
