Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper-dependent enzymes classified into the auxiliary activity (AA) families of the CAZy database. They oxidatively cleave glycosidic bonds in recalcitrant polysaccharides, playing a key role in biomass degradation and contributing to the virulence of some pathogens. The redox state of the active-site copper and its coordination geometry are central
BACKGROUND: Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) is often misdiagnosed or conflated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) due to overlapping clinical presentations and neuropathological features. The presence of AD-like features correlates with accelerated cognitive decline and a worse overall prognosis. Compared to AD, studies suggest that amyloid uptake in DLB may spare the occipital lobe. This project aims
Synthetic pesticides (e.g. herbicides, fungicides and insecticides) are used widely in agriculture to protect crops from pests, weeds and disease. However, their use also comes with a range of environmental concerns. One key concern is the effect of insecticides on non-target organisms such as bees, who provide pollination services for crops and wild plants. This systematic literature review quant
Abstract Title: The Sound of Silence: Conceptualizing Strategic CSR Silence as a Communication Practice Date of Seminar: 05-06-2025 Course: BUSN39 - Degree Project in Global Marketing - Master Level Authors: Bob Groeneveld and Vivian Reijntjes Supervisor: Jon Bertilsson Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR); CSR Communication; Strategic Silence; Critical Theory; Discursive Closure;
When discussing urban planning and design, the focus often shifts toward large, overcrowded cities that require continuous improvements to remain competitive on the global economic map. However, smaller cities, while not classified as major metropolises, also play a significant role in urban development. These cities accommodate thousands of residents and have maintained their stability over the y
5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile bio-based platform chemical that can substitute fossil-derived intermediates in polymers, solvents, and fuels, thereby contributing to a fossil-free chemical industry. While first-generation feedstocks such as high-fructose corn syrup have been widely studied, their use raises concerns about competition with food supply. In contrast, second-generation r
Purpose: In recent years, professional sports have become increasingly globalized and commercialized. This is reflected in the increased strategic application of branding across teams, athletes and other stakeholders in the sports industry to differentiate themselves, secure sponsorships, and enhance fan engagement. As athletes increasingly recognize the value of their personal brands, understandi
This thesis has been carried out in cooperation with Malmö Studenthus via Miljöbron whom requested suggestions on how they can improve their energy usage in their property Taxeringsintendenten 3 which is located in Rosengård, Malmö. The building was built in the 70s and is currently being used as a student residence with 665 newly renovated apartments. The thesis is topical as in recent years more
Popular science summary Has climate change influenced flowering time of coltsfoot? Phenological events such as the onset of flowering during the spring are among the most sensitive indicators of climate change. Hence, phenological data have recently emerged as effective tools for studying the impact of climate change on species and ecosystems. In this study, I used records from herbaria and pub
This thesis is constructed on an examination of the global principles and operational methods of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) and their linkage to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). These phenomena have implications for the sustainable banking business, which aims to deliver banking products and services aligned with a triple-bottom-line corporate approach contributing to sustainable
Title: Designing a new warehouse to improve space utilization and handling efficiency: A case study of a production warehouse Authors: Emil Niklasson, Erik Ramström Supervisor: Joakim Kembro, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University Problem description: The focus on warehousing has grown in the industry during the 21st century to increase the compe
Changed land-use, nitrogen deposition, climate change, and the spread of non-native species have repeatedly been reported as the main drivers of floristic changes in northern Europe. However, the relevance of the geographical scale at which floristic changes are observed, is less studied and understood. Here, I assess the changes in species richness and species composition in the central parts of
Guðrún Guðjónsdóttir Climate change is having a great impact on the fragile High Latitude environment where warming is occurring at a rate at least double the global average. It is urgent to understand the relationship between climate and vegetation cover, which is playing an important role, as a carbon sink, for biodiversity, and for protecting against natural hazards. Less studied but equally i
Green hydrogen is an advantageous clean energy carrier that enables the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors and addresses the intermittency of renewables. However, its global production is currently constrained by inadequate infrastructure, high investment risks, and relatively technological infancy. Failure to scale green hydrogen could hinder decarbonization efforts and climate goals. Recog
Climate change, the energy crisis of 2022-2023, and estimations of future electricity demands have stressed the necessity for a rapid transition of the energy system. Offshore wind energy plays an important role in this transition, and is expected to expand considerably on a global level, in the EU and in Sweden. While Swedes show high support of wind energy, a majority of recent projects have bee
