The analysis uses critical discourse analysis, specifically Fairclough’s model, following the three stages. The
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has emerged as a versatile platform for whole-cell biocatalysis, owing to its intrinsic regeneration of cofactors and amenability to genetic engineering. However, efficient reductive amination of aromatic carbonyls remains challenging due to competing redox pathways and product inhibition by pyruvate. Building on the redox-rewired TMB4133 strain (∆gpd1,2) that accumulates

This project investigates the potential of reclaimed wood waste from the wood industry, with a focus on interlayer sticks (strö), aiming to restore their value and prevent them from being discarded after a single use. Through material exploration and design ideation, the project leads to an exploration of pattern construction, the history of stripes, and the functional and aesthetic benefits of
There is a growing emphasis on sustainability in Swedish public school meal provisioning. While the body of research has focused on food waste reduction, nutritional outcomes, and quantifying policy impact, there is little focus on the experience of the public service workers who are involved in providing the school meals. The unique challenge these public service workers face lies in balancing th

Using Sarah Lewis´s Woman´s Mission (1839) and her contemporary views of maternal duty, this paper explores the complex
