DLBCL Patient stratification using serum protein profiling

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a highly heterogeneous malignancy which poses a challenge for treatment efficiency. To better stratify DLBCL patients and optimize treatment protocols, we analyzed the serum proteome using samples from a population-based cohort of DLBCL patients. Our objective was to find association between serum protein expression with clinical parameters such as overall

Dynamically predicted shelf-life label in minced meat product: A consumer-driven design and analysis

Dynamically predicted shelf-life label (DPSL) has been discussed to be one of the solutions to curb meat waste. Therefore, the research about the DPSL label and the perceptible information obtained by minced meat consumers is conducted. The research purpose is to identify the critical factors to design a DPSL label for minced meat consumers, and to design and assess the label with the consumers. T

A Game of Loss: The Cost of Non- integration of People with Disabilities in the Jordanian Labor Market.

Jordan is a nation marked by an everchanging growing population primarily derived from its geographical position and relative political stability compared to its neighbouring countries, making it one of the primary recipients of refugees in the region. Population increases were marked by a vast boost in the number of disabled individuals in the country, especially individuals of working age, to th

A design of a 100 MS/s, 8-bit Pipelined ADC in CMOS

The thesis focuses on designing and simulating an 8-bit high-speed fully differential pipelined Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) in the 65nm Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology by using the software Cadence Virtuoso. The aim is to increase the operation speed of the ADC for communication systems without reducing the performance, in the meantime, the low power consumption and

What led the apparel sector to become transparent? A deeper analysis of the determinants of Sustainability Reporting

This study has three major purposes: (1) to investigate the determinants of sustainability reporting in the apparel sector (2) to fill up the theoretical gap in the literature and (3) to analyze cross-country differences. The data from this study was gathered through online semi-structured interviews. The sample included sustainability reporting experts; sustainable fashion brands and textile indu

Bönders användning av besprutningsmedel i Bangladesh - Ett försök att förstå samband genom OMCA

This thesis uses ordered multiple correspondence analysis to study data and investigate how to further visualise and understand potential correlations. The method is applied on data collected from a survey that was executed by Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) where face-to face interviews were held with 917 farmers from four different regions in Bangladesh. The survey aimed to study the f

System för uppföljning och erfarenhetsåterföring av kalkyler

Uppföljning behövs i ett företag för att kunna styra företaget mot de ekonomiska mål som eftersträvas. För att ha en fungerande uppföljningsprocess krävs det att projektet är planerat på ett strukturerat sätt, för att på så vis ge uppföljningen en grund. Rapporteringar och data från tidigare projekt krävs för att analysera och jämföra informationen. Genom att ta vara på erfarenheter och kunskap frA follow up system is necessary for the company to enhance their financial performance. In order to implement such a process, it is necessary to plan and structure projects in a manner that enables a follow up analysis. This requires having reports and data from previous projects in order to be able to analyse and compare the information. Documenting experiences and knowledge from projects and rea

Barriers and Enablers for using E-commerce in a B2B Environment and their Implications for Strategy

As e-commerce continues to grow in the B2B industry many companies are tasked with implementing and updating their current working ways to fit the digital era. With an estimated market size value of 6.7 trillion USD in 2020 and a CAGR of 17.5% from 2020 to 2027 (Grand View Research, 2020) there is no denying that B2B e-commerce offers great opportunities to reap the benefits of the growth. However

Banana by-products in Thailand - Exploring its feasibility as bioplastics feedstock for food packaging

This study aims to determine the operational feasibility of utilizing banana cultivation by-products as an alternative raw material in bioplastic production, replacing bio-based feedstock that is otherwise used as food in Thailand. By following the exploratory qualitative research approach, a combination of secondary sources of information together with interviews with the identified stakeholders

”Man får gilla läget” – En kvalitativ studie om hur personer 70 år och äldre upplever och hanterar sin vardag under coronapandemin

Bakgrund: Coronapandemin har medfört restriktioner för riskgruppen 70 år och äldre som uppmanades att undvika nära kontakter, vilket resulterade i att många isolerade sig i sina hem. Deras vardag och möjlighet till aktivitet och delaktighet förändrades plötsligt. Det finns begränsat med kunskap om hur restriktionerna påverkade äldre personers vardag och hälsa. Syfte: Att undersöka hur personer 70 Background: The coronavirus pandemic led to restrictions for persons 70 years and older who were advised to avoid close contact, which for many resulted in isolation at home. Their possibilities to engage in everyday activities suddenly changed. Little is known about how the restrictions has influenced older adults’ everyday life and health. Aim: To explore how persons 70 years and older in Swede

Mot en kritisk filosofisociologi - En studie om uppdelningen mellan den analytiska och kontinentala filosofin som uttryck för varans dualitet

The aim of this thesis is twofold: First, the possibilities of constructing a theory of sociology of philosophy by considering Moishe Postones reinterpretation of Marx's critical theory is explored. This critical sociology of philosophy is constructed upon Postones notion that capitalist modernity is constituted by peculiar social relations grounded on the category of the commodity, more speci

A dynamic perspective on entrepreneurial motivation: The impact of the entrepreneur’s context on motivation along the new venture process

Several scholars and practitioners recognize that entrepreneurial motivation (EM) changes over time. Yet, it remains unexplored to date how the dynamic character of EM unfolds throughout the entrepreneurial process. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how EM changes along the new venture process by investigating the impact of critical incidents within the entrepreneur’s context on the dynamic

Hur framställs migration och utlänningar diskursivt i statliga utredningar? Ur följderna av ”flyktingkrisen 2015”

Hösten 2015 kom 163 000 asylsökande till Sverige, en händelse som i folkmun kommit att kallas ”flyktingkrisen 2015”. Det inträffade under en tid när högerpolitiskt orienterade partier växte sig allt starkare i Sverige och fortsätter att göra så än idag. Mot bakgrund av detta så är det av intresse att undersöka hur utlänningar konstrueras som grupp i ett samhällsklimat som tenderar att förhålla sig

Mutagenesis of the lipolytic enzyme LysinB-D29 to enhance its activity and thermostability.

Plastic has brought great benefits to human life, but it has also given rise to serious environmental problems as “microplastic” threatening the living organisms. Due to the promising properties, the polymer poly (ethylene) terephthalate (PET) has been widely used for packaging and textiles industries with large annual demand and low recycle rate. The imbalance between the production and recycling

Chinese FDI and Debt-trap Diplomacy

This empirical study seeks to initiate a new field of study. Through panel data analysis the relationship between Chinese FDI, non-Chinese FDI, and government debt in Sub-Saharan Africa is investigated.

Development of a reporter gene assay on an automated platform

Biological drugs have the potential to trigger unwanted immunogenic responses in patients which might affect the efficacy and safety of the treatment. Evaluating the immunogenicity throughout the drug development process is therefore crucial. For measuring the activity of a biological drug and antibodies against the drug, cell-based reporter gene assays can be used. The iLite reporter gene system
