  1. 11. Synthesis and analysis of potential metabolites of ADB-5´Br-BUTINACA

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kemi

    Author : Alaa Malekshahineia; [2023]
    Keywords : metabolites; NPS; synthetic cannabinoids;

    Abstract : In recent years, there has been a rise in the use of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) that mimic the effects of controlled drugs and licensed medicines, which have become a significant public health concern globally. Synthetic cannabinoids, a rapidly expanding category of NPS, with much higher potency and binding affinity to the cannabinoid receptors than ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), have led to serious psychiatric complications and other adverse effects.

  3. 12. Analysis and Valorization of Bark from Silver Birch, Scots Pine, and Norway Spruce : Compositional analysis of bark from common Swedish trees in forestry, to optimize sustainability procedures and monetary value of bark residue

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Kemiska institutionen

    Author : Isak Lindbäck; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Silver birch, Scots pine, and Norway spruce are the three most common types of trees in Sweden and make up to 90% of standing volume in Swedish forests (Skogsstyrelsen 2015, 3). With millions of cubic meters of wood being cut down annually, bark and other residues that cannot be used for sawn timber is left over and burnt for energy. READ MORE

  4. 13. How the Choice of Primary Treatment Affects the Biogas Potential of Primary Sludge

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)

    Author : Fanny Blom; [2022]
    Keywords : wastewater treatment; primary treatment; biogas potential; primary settling treatment; rotating belt filter; chemically enhanced primary treatment; environmental engineering; water resources engineering; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The global heating has resulted in rising temperatures and more extreme weather conditions around the world. In combination with increasing energy demands, this has led to an increasing demand of renewable energy. One option is utilizing the wastewater to produce biogas. There-fore, wastewater can be seen as a resource rather than waste. READ MORE

  6. 15. The Binding Mechanism of Carbapenems in the Class A beta-lactamase IMI-1 : A Molecular Dynamics Study of Ligand Stability

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Biokemi

    Author : Isabell Lindahl; [2022]
    Keywords : antibiotic resistance; IMI-1; betalactamase; Carbapenemase; free energy; LIE; linear interaction energy; β-lactamase; meropenem; biapenem; imipenem; active site;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance is a global and accelerating matter. Over time, the bacteria have evolved several defense mechanisms against the antibiotics. One of the defense mechanisms is that the bacteria can produce enzymes with the ability to hydrolyze the characteristic b-lactam ring of the antibiotics. These enzymes are called b-lactamases.
