  1. 1. Pornography – a supernormal stimulus of the modern age. A correlation study about problematic pornography consumption and personal self-concept.

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Adam Havasi; Nicholas Róbertsson; [2024-02-06]
    Keywords : pornography; self-concept; consumption; psychology;

    Abstract : Sometimes called the drug of the new millennium, pornography with its intensity, privacy and availability, has all the conditions for being problematic and even addictive. The purpose of this study was to investigate problematic pornography consumption (PPC) and how it might be connected to self-concept. READ MORE

  3. 2. Machine learning for molecular property prediction and drug safety

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Kinga Jenei; [2023-10-23]
    Keywords : Molecular property prediction; Acid dissociation constant; pKa; Machine learning; Graph Neural Networks; Molecular descriptors; Drug Discovery;

    Abstract : Utilizing machine learning methods for the prediction of acid dissociation (pKa ) values of compounds holds great significance, as pKa is an important parameter, optimized frequently in drug discovery. Accurate prediction of pKa values could potentially provide valuable insights on other molecular properties and thereby support compound design. READ MORE

  4. 3. 3D Bioprinting : Future Challenges and Entrepreneurial Possibilities of a Growing Technology

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Olivia Nilsson; [2023]
    Keywords : 3D Bioprinting; Disruptive innovation; Trends; Uncertain Markets; Bioprinter; Bioink; Tissue Engineering; Drug Development; Patent; CAGR;

    Abstract : Bioprinting is one of the most promising technologies for future healthcare as it may benefit the repairing of wounds and injuries, disease modeling and development, transplantation of organs and reduce animal testing. This thesis aim to investigate this industry further, as there is no excessive literature on how to handle the innovation in regards to entrepreneurial and biotechnological knowledge. READ MORE

  5. 4. Antibiotic consumption was associated with higher abundance of gut microbiota species previously linked to coronary atherosclerosis in the population-based SCAPIS cohort

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Tiscar Graells Fernandez; [2023]
    Keywords : bioinformatics; microbiome; gut; subclinical coronary atherosclerosis;

    Abstract : Background: The human gut microbiota is the complex microbial community that lives in our gut. The gut microbiota has a key role in health and disease and its disruption has been linked to several chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases. READ MORE

  6. 5. Design and Evaluation of Peptide Binders : In silico evaluation and comparison of generative AI for de novo peptide binder design

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Beräkningsbiologi och bioinformatik

    Author : Linde Brokmar; [2023]
    Keywords : Protein design; de novo design; protein engineering; generative ai; machine learning; peptide binders; AF2; EvoBind; RFdiffusion; ProteinMPNN;

    Abstract : Peptide binders are short proteins that bind to larger proteins. Due to peptide binders having high specificity and being cheap to synthesize, they are a prime candidate for drug design. Creating new proteins in silico can be divided into three steps: protein backbone generation, sequence design, and computational filtering. READ MORE
