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. Archaeological dental calculus reveals patterns of dietary shifts related to the farming transition in Africa

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Ivany Jocelyne Argueta Mejia; [2023]
   Keywords : dental calculus; ancient DNA; oral microbiome; shotgun sequencing; biofilm; metagenomics;

   Abstract : Archaeological dental calculus represents a depositional environment that entraps oral microbes, and debris of dietary, environmental, and cultural material that entered the mouth throughout the host’s life. Hence, they represent valuable archives of information about the host’s lifestyle, health, and environment. READ MORE

4. 3. Dagvatten blir badvatten : ett gestaltningsförslag på en baddamm i Gränbyparken med naturlig rening

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

   Author : Ludvig Pärlefors Prado; [2023]
   Keywords : Baddamm; dagvattenrening; naturlig pool; hållbar dagvattenhantering;

   Abstract : Att rena och fördröja dagvatten sker i allt högre grad lokalt. Då dagvattenanläggningarna kommer närmare inpå den bebyggda miljön och i kontakt med stadens invånare, får landskapsarkitekten en viktig roll, genom att utforma öppna dagvattenlösningar. READ MORE

5. 4. Pseudomonas aeruginosa gene expression analysis using pangenome and PAO1 reference genomes

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Examensarbeten i bioinformatik

   Author : Yi Su; [2023]
   Keywords : Biology and Life Sciences;

   Abstract : Development in sequencing technologies has made the analyses of genetic material much more accessible. Processing sequenced data for an accurate analysis comes with its challenges, especially with the studies in microbial in clinical in vivo samples where difficulties in the collection of these samples for sequencing could lower the quality and contamination from the human host which might affect the accuracy of downstream analysis.

6. 5. CO2 Sequestration by Bio-Accelerated Silicate Weathering

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Tora Uebel; Elisabeth Odelius; [2023]
   Keywords : enhanced silicate weathering; microorganisms; negative emission technology; CO2 emissions;

   Abstract : Human-caused emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases are an established reason for the climate changes that affect planet Earth. Negative emission technologies (NETs), for example, bio-accelerated silicate weathering bioreactors, seek to capture and store carbon from the atmosphere. READ MORE
