  1. 1. Understanding the effects of TCP-25 and EDTA interaction : A study of the biophysical aspects of a naturally derived peptide formulation with EDTA for topical application

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

    Author : Ebba Kant; [2023]
    Keywords : chronic wounds; EDTA; biophysical aspects; formulation; pharmaceutical technology; Thrombin derived C-terminal peptide; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improving wound healing.

  3. 2. The female perspective on a situation of uncertainty : examining gendered and accumulated vulnerability in multiexposure to stressors through a case study in rural Nepal

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Urban and Rural Development

    Author : Filippa Dahlback; [2023]
    Keywords : Multi-exposure; stressors; climate change; Ghorka earthquake; COVID-19; vulnerability; gender; Nepal; life histories; small-scale farmers;

    Abstract : Climate change impacts are becoming more severe globally, with estimations of a continued negative trend in the future. This interacts with increasing natural disasters as well as non-climatic stressors, such as pandemics or social stressors, creating a multi-exposure to stressors especially harmful for rural populations and small-scale farmers who depend on natural resources for their livelihoods.

  4. 3. Biophysical analysis of Immunotherapy and Cancer modeling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och biologisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för astronomi och teoretisk fysik - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : Simon Tropp; [2022]
    Keywords : Immunotherapy; Cancer; Tumors; Immune cells; T cells; Cancer prognostics; Cancer models; Cell distribution; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : Accounting for 10 million deaths and 20 million new cases every year, cancer is one of the most common causes of death. The interest in trying to understand this lethal disease using mathematical models has increased steadily for many decades. Methods for boosting the immune system to better fight cancer (immunotherapy) have also been long present. READ MORE

  5. 4. Improving the temporal resolution of a microspectrometer for the study of the photophysics of enhanced green fluorescent protein

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Lukas Rane; [2021]
    Keywords : Biophysics; EGFP; Fluorescence; triplet state; Biofysik; EGFP; fluorescens; triplet tillstånd;

    Abstract : The use of fluorescent proteins as fluorescent markers has exploded over the last decades. In particular due to the development of advanced microscopy for live cell measurements, dynamic molecular studies down to single molecule levels and for superresolution microscopy. READ MORE

  6. 5. Quantifying panarchy of lake systems: implication for resilience and management (Case study)

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ran Hur; [2021]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Liming; Panarchy; Resilience; Lake ecosystem; Natural resource management;

    Abstract : Liming has been used extensively in Sweden, but the management success has been only partial, mostly mitigating the impact of acidification rather than restoring the ecological communities to a self-maintaining pre-acidified state. Rather than a sound restoration tool, liming is a form of command-and-control management that comprises a significant disturbance in the system, which manifests in the form of profound alterations of biophysical settings of lakes.
