This study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand
Coagulation factor V (FV) deficiency is characterised by variable bleeding phenotypes and heterogeneous mutations. To add new insights into the FV genotype-phenotype relationship, we characterised the R1698W change in the A3 domain, at the poorly investigated interface with the A2 domain. The FV R1698W mutation was responsible for a markedly reduced expression level (10% of FV-WT) and specific act
The Geological Society of America has sponsored versions of the geologic time scale since 1983. Over the past 30 years, the Geological Society of America Geologic Time Scale has undergone substantial modifications, commensurate with major advances in our understanding of chronostratigraphy, geochronology, astrochronology, chemostratigraphy, and the geomagnetic polarity time scale. Today, many part
The prevalence of violent conflicts over the last few decades has left numerous countries in the need of thorough rebuilding; from Afghanistan to Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Somalia or Rwanda. In order to assist in the recovery of these post-conflict societies, various peacebuilding strategies and transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented by a range of different actors. However, mo
Icknield Port is one of the largest redevelopment sites in Birmingham, UK and presents a huge opportunity to create a high quality destination of regional significance. Because of its size (30 ha), its locational advantage (1.4 km from city centre) and its unique waterfront attributes, the site offers great potential to meet the aspirational goals of major landowners, future users and the City Cou
The transition from care to independent living is a critical period in the lives of young people leaving residential care. The purpose of this study was to find out what young people leaving residential care need for a successful re-adaptation to society. Another purpose was to find out from research the essential factors for good outcomes to last after residential care. In order to find out I con
Title: Setting music to text: Teaching methods regarding musical composition in acting education. The abundant use of musical terms as prestige words in artistic and educational theatre discourses seems to indicate that musicality – in some sense of the word – is generally considered an important quality in acting. Music is part of the curriculum of the BA programme in acting at Malmö Theatre Acad
The dominance of men in politics has been a long standing trend, with women historically underrepresented in this sphere. Efforts toward women's inclusion in politics seek to address and rectify this gender imbalance, advocating for greater representation, equal opportunities, and the dismantling of barriers that have hindered women's active participation in political decision-making proce
Sociologisk forskning beskriver samtiden som ett senmodernt samhällstillstånd, som kännetecknas av snabb förändring, individualisering, globalisering och osäkerhet inför framtiden. Ett av rättens syften är att påverka människors beteenden, vilket kanske tydligast manifesteras genom straffrätten. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur straffrättens mål att påverka normer och styra beteenden tar form i Sociological research describes contemporary society as a condition of late modernity, characterized by rapid change, individualisation, globalisation, and uncertainty about the future. One of the purposes of law is to influence human behaviour, insofar as this is possible. A function that is perhaps most evidently manifested through criminal law. This thesis examines how criminal law’s aim to sha
Kenya stands at the forefront of Eastern Africa’s economic growth, showcasing potential driven by a robust economy, a vast market, and commendable progress in education and infrastructure. Central to Kenya’s transformative agenda is Vision 2030, a blueprint to accelerate the country into a newly industrialized, middle-income country by 2030. However, the country’s industrial experience is often ov
Oats (Avena sativa) are part of the cereal whole grain family, and their production is on the rise for the past few years due to extensive research done on the health benefits it can provide to humans. ScanOats project in Sweden is one of the research groups across the world that has done extensive work on oats. The lines CT-BG-53, CT-BG-21, and CT-BG-37 are mutant lines harvested by Crop Tailor A
The quality of a flour can vary greatly depending on the wheat variety and on the conditions while growing the wheat. Currently, the quality is mainly assessed by test baking the flour to observe the volume of the final product. The aim of this study was to investigate if three instruments (Alveolab, Mixolab and Rheo F4) analyzing rheological behaviours connected to dough preparation and baking pr
As convenience keeps driving the ready meals market, the foreseen rising sales might increase the environmental impact caused by this food category. Strategies for reducing the environmental impact of food products have been identified, some focusing on food packaging and eco-design. However, a gap between the current published guidelines and the requirements considered by food companies has been
In recent times, as the construction industry moves towards high-rise structures, under seas tunnels and mega infrastructure projects, companies face hard time managing the construction that continuously evolves for achieving new methods of engineering and supervision. Depending on the size and sensitivity of the project, the owners choose the construction company; i.e. mega projects require mega
The level of extracellular calcium has been demonstrated to regulate important physiological processes like cell growth and apoptosis. We demonstrate that in the bladder cancer cell line RT4, an increased extracellular calcium level induces apoptosis and that the HER1 receptor functions as a cell survival factor and delays apoptosis. After 12 h of calcium treatment (10 mM) apoptosis was detected i
Breast cancer is the most prevalent form of cancer among women in Sweden, with 9 000 diagnoses during 2023. While the five-year survival rate reaches 92.5% due to national screening programs, transitioning from 2D Digital Mammography to 3D Digital Breast Tomosynthesis (DBT) could further improve early detection. However, the high volumes of data increases the examination times, preventing it from
This book provides a general guide to stone-structures of the pre-colonial period called zimbabwes. This is a name which denotes their usage as prestige buildings and that a particular quality of masonry with frequent application of wall decoration patterns was required, which distinguishes them from many other stone structures of coarse workmanship. At least 300 sites are known within the borders
