1. 1. 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.

3. 2. 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).

4. 3. Towards time-resolved cryo-EM of SARS-CoV-2 replication-transcription complex and Staphylococcus aureus DNA gyrase

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

   Author : Anna Králová; [2023]
   Keywords : time-resolved cryo-EM; DNA gyrase; SARS-CoV-2; replication-transcription complex; protein purification;

   Abstract : Time-resolved cryo-EM has already provided ground-breaking discoveries in various fields, including structural biology, biochemistry, and drug development. Compared to traditional structural biology methods where mostly stabilized conformations are reconstructed, the main advantage of time-resolved cryo-EM is its ability to capture dynamic processes in biological samples at near-atomic resolution, which allows for studying biological structures as they change and interact in real-time.

5. 4. Development of chitosan nanocomposite coatings for visible-light photocatalytic antiviral applications

   University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

   Author : Michael Neuman; [2023]
   Keywords : Biopolymer; Chitosan; Coating; Nanocomposite; Photocatalytic; Zinc oxide; Antimicrobial; Antiviral; Coronavirus COVID-19 ; Biopolymer; Kitosan; Beläggning; Nanokomposit; Fotokatalytisk; Zinkoxid; Antimikrobiell; Antiviral; Coronavirus COVID-19 ;

   Abstract : During the global pandemic of coronavirus, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, the world was desperately searching for simpler yet more effective solutions to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19). Since no one was prepared for the fast spread of such a contagious virus, there was a shortage of proper protective solutions to stop the spread. READ MORE

6. 5. Methodologies for training detection dogs and scent sample storing

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Rebecka Clern; [2022]
   Keywords : detection dogs; scent training; canine scent detection; search dogs; scent samples;

   Abstract : Dogs’ spectacular sense of smell has been used as a detection tool by humans in many areas. Their olfaction was first used as a hunting tool, but dogs’ detection skills have been shown to also be applicable in, for example, detection of drugs, explosives, and firearms as well as disease detection.
