Användning av den maltosnegativa jäststammen Saccharomycodes ludwigii för tillverkning av alkoholfri öl, metodutveckling. I detta projekt har en metod utvecklats som ger mikrobryggerier möjligheten att tillverka alkoholfri öl. I takt med att fler blir medvetna om alkoholens negativa effekter, ökar intresset för alkoholfri öl, även hos väldigt små bryggeriet, så kallade mikrobryggerier. Då det kräNon-alcoholic beer is gaining more attention in the brewing industry due to the negative health and economic consequences of alcohol consumption, even smaller microbreweries are showing interest in the production of non-alcoholic beer. Producing non-alcoholic beer has been restricted to the large breweries due to the special equipment needed and the high investment costs, but by using biological m

Denna publikation syftar till att skapa en grundläggande överblick av prospektering och utveckling av petroleumtillgångar i Barentshavet. Den är tänkt som en överblick av regionen samt en sammanfattning av dess bassänger, reservoarer, fällsystem och källbergarter. Prospekteringen av Barentshavet började på 1970-talet, och under 1980-talet gjordes ett flertal större upptäckter. Utvecklingen har varThe purpose of this publication is to outline the exploration history and development of the Barents Sea region. It is intended as an overview of the region, summarizing the various basins, reservoirs, trap systems, and source rocks. Exploration of the Barents Sea began in the 1970s and major discoveries took place in the 1980s. Development has been slow due to the prevalence of natural gas over o

I övergången till en cirkulär ekonomi använder industrier i allt högre grad återvunnet material för att minska klimatpåverkan från sina produkter. Den ökade efterfrågan på återvunnet material drivs av både EU-direktiv och konsumenters preferenser. Både flask- och polyesterfiberindustrin ser potential i att möta EU:s krav och konsumenters efterfrågan genom att ersätta jungfruligt material med återvIn the transition towards a circular economy, industries are increasingly adopting recycled materials to decrease the climate impact of their products, driven by both regulatory requirements and consumer demand. The bottle and polyester fiber industries both recognize the potential to comply with EU policies and consumer preferences by replacing virgin material with recycled PET. Due to its desira

The rapid advancements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years have reshaped markets globally, urging companies to keep up with the development to maintain competitiveness and capture first-mover advantages. Although AI adoption is increasing across sectors, it has been found that Swedish companies lag behind other countries, such as the US and China. A key challenge identified is the lack

Geospatial data is becoming increasingly important as artificial intelligence develops rapidly, creating new opportunities in the field of Geographic Information Systems. The thesis investigates the possibility of establishing a method to automatically calibrate a network camera’s geolocation and heading direction by using a camera view image and its corresponding satellite image. The aim is to lo

In the pursuit of more sustainable agriculture, weeds play a dual role by threatening crop production and simultaneously contributing to farmland biodiversity. Management actions such as the use of fertilisers (fertilisation) may change weed abundance and community composition with consequences for both weed–crop competition and biodiversity. Alleviating the balance between yield and biodiversity

This thesis is trying to identify and give solutions for the problems occurring in polyurethane sport surfaces in Iraq where the climate is extremely warm and dusty. One of the most important problems (called the ‘maintenance’ problem) is that the polyurethane sport surface looks very dirty because of the dust, a couple of weeks after installation of the surface the dust particles penetrates the s

Anthropogenic noise and artificial light at night (ALAN) are expanding globally, acting as pervasive sensory pollutants that can disrupt wildlife behaviour and reproduction. While most research has focused on diurnal species, the effects of these pollutants on the ecological response of nocturnal predators remain poorly understood. Using data from nine European countries, we investigated the effec

When infected with a pathogen, a host may respond with an acute phase response to increase its chances of survival. Previous research shows that one fundamental component of the acute phase response, adjustments of body temperature, may differ depending on ambient temperature, social settings and energy availability. However, we do not know much about how such a response is modulated during work-i

New alternatives for treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome are continuously being explored. Despite ongoing nonclinical and clinical research, few new principles have evolved. We can expect future new additions to existing drug classes and different combinations of existing options. New antimuscarinics are in development, but we do not know if they offer any advantages to currently availa

BACKGROUND: A considerable portion of patients with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) have negative amyloid-β (Aβ) biomarkers and are therefore unlikely to have Alzheimer's disease (AD). Potential causes of cognitive decline in this heterogeneous group include limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE), cardio/cerebrovascular diseases, primary age-related tauopathy (PART),

We introduce MEGATRON, a new galaxy formation model for cosmological radiation hydrodynamics simulations of high-redshift galaxies. The model accounts for the non-equilibrium chemistry and heating/cooling processes of ≥ 80 atoms, ions, and molecules, coupled to on-the-fly radiation transfer. We apply the model in a cosmological setting to the formation of a 109 M⊙halo at z = 6, and run 25 realizat

The 4MOST consortium is currently halfway through a Conceptual Design study for ESO with the aim to develop a wide-field (>3 square degree, goal >5 square degree), high-multiplex (>1500 fibres, goal 3000 fibres) spectroscopic survey facility for an ESO 4m-class telescope (VISTA). 4MOST will run permanently on the telescope to perform a 5 year public survey yielding more than 20 million spectra at

In Huntington's disease (HD), cognitive symptoms and cellular dysfunction precede the onset of classical motor symptoms and neuronal death in the striatum and cortex by almost a decade. This suggests that the early cognitive deficits may be due to a cellular dysfunction rather than being a consequence of neuronal loss. Abnormalities in dendritic spines are described in HD patients and in HD animal

Oxygen-enriched air combustion holds promise as an effective method for harnessing blast furnace gas (BFG) in the steel industry. In this study, the laminar burning velocities of blast furnace gas were measured using the heat flux method under elevated oxygen mole fractions (0.3–1.0) and temperatures (303–353 K). Subsequently, the measured data were used to evaluate the GRI-Mech 3.0, Li, FFCM-1, a

The self-report Drug Attitude Inventory (DAI), in 30- and 10-item versions, provides unique information of clinical relevance for monitoring treatment adherence among people diagnosed with schizophrenia. The primary purpose of this paper was to evaluate the 10-item version among patients living in sheltered housing. Data were collected among 68 persons living in sheltered housing, most of them (82

Salinization of soil is recognised as one of the most pressing environmental challenges to resolve for the next century. We here conduct a synoptic review of the available research on how salt affects decomposer microbial communities and carbon (C) cycling in soil. After summarizing known physiological responses of microorganisms to salinity, we provide a brief overview and qualification of a sele

The pathogenic mechanisms leading to neurodegeneration in Huntington disease (HD) are not fully understood but involve accumulation of toxic mRNA and protein products in the brain. Recent studies described an unconventional autophagic pathway involving DNA and RNA degradation through DNautophagy and RNautophagy that is regulated by the lysosomal protein SID1 transmembrane family member 2 (SIDT2).

In this editorial, the author states that the importance of casting off blinders applies to topics and disciplines as much as to individuals. There is no disagreement in psychology that we are mostly ignorant of the various neurophysiological and cognitive substrates and limitations of our conscious experience, but there are other background processes that determine what, how, and even whether we

Objective: Testicular torsion (TT) is a medical emergency, difficult to identify solely through clinical evaluation. This study aims to develop an assessment algorithm with a safe lower threshold for complementary ultrasound. Material and methods: Males between 1 and 30 years of age assessed for suspected TT during the years 2019 – 2023 were retrospectively included. Clinical assessments were cond
