1. 1. Refining the particulate matter airway deposition arising from indoor cooking-related biomass combustion for children in the Haramaya district in Ethiopia

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi

   Author : Kasper Malmborn; [2023]
   Keywords : Air pollution exposure; charcoal; wood; animal dung; low-income setting epidemiology; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Background: Air pollution, a global issue affecting millions of individuals, is linked to adverse health effects on the respiratory system, but also to e.g., cancer and cardiovascular ailments. In low-income countries, cooking is often conducted by biomass-combustion, causing women and children to be exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution. READ MORE

3. 2. Ventilation for reduced indoor spread of Covid 19 and similar diseases : A literature review focusing on hospital environments

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknik

   Author : Cyrus Ourak Pour; [2023]
   Keywords : COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; Ventilation system; Mixing ventilation MV ; Displacement ventilation DV ; Under floor air distribution UFAD ; Ultraviolet light UV ; HEPA filter; COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2; Ventilationssystem; Blandningsventilation; Deplacementventilation; Luftfördelning under golv; Ultraviolett ljus; HEPA-filter;

   Abstract : Today, a significant portion of individuals’ time is spent indoors, estimated at approximately 90% of their total time. This raises concerns about the transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) instigating Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and similar viruses and highlights the critical role of ventilation systems in indoor environments, which this study aims to investigate.

4. 3. Developing Wastewater-based Early Warning System for the Detection of Disease Outbreaks and Emerging Variants with focus on SARS-CoV-2

   University essay from KTH/Industriell bioteknologi

   Author : Ayda Kiyar; [2023]
   Keywords : wastewater-based epidemiology; early warning system; RT-qPCR; normalization; SARS-CoV-2; avloppsvattenbaserad epidemiologi; förvarningssystem; RT-qPCR; normalisering;

   Abstract : Under covid-19-pandemin har avloppsvattenbaserad epidemiologi (WBE) använts i stor utsträckning som ett komplement till kliniska tester över många delar av världen. Detta projekt syftade till att detektera och kvantifiera belastningen av Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) i avloppsvattenprover med hjälp av Revers transkriptas kvantitativ polymeraskedjereaktion (RT-qPCR).

5. 4. DRY POWDER FOR INHALATION - INFLUENCE OF MIXING PROCESS AND ADDITION OF MAGNESIUM STEARATE

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

   Author : Love Ivarsson; [2023]
   Keywords : inhalation; drug delivery; pulmonary drug delivery; API; FPF; FPD; DD; Turbula; Diosna; mixing energy; mixing time; mixing speed; pharmaceutical technology; Medicine and Health Sciences;

   Abstract : For efficient treatment of many diseases of the lung, it is beneficial to deliver the medicine to the respiratory tract directly. This ensures a rapid response since it can enter the bloodstream directly through the alveolar epithelium. Consequently, also decreases systemic effects due to the local treatment. READ MORE

6. 5. Estimation of respiratory frequency from Heart Rate Variability

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Author : Daniel Ågärd; [2023]
   Keywords : time-frequency analysis; multitaper spectrogram; Optimization; signal processing; heart rate variability; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Abstract : In this master's thesis the ability to estimate the respiratory frequency from heart rate variability measurement is analyzed. The goal was to implement a solution that is easily transferable to real time. READ MORE
