  1. 1. An evaluation study of 3D imaging technology as a tool to estimate body weight and growth in dairy heifers

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Emelie Ahlberg; [2024]
    Keywords : body measurement; body weight; growth; heifer; three-dimensional imaging; young stock management;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the use of a 3D camera as a tool to estimate body weight and growth in dairy heifers. Data collection lasted from October 2022 to January 2023 and was performed at the Swedish Livestock Research Centre in Uppsala, Sweden. READ MORE

  3. 2. Exploring alternative surfactants to replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles

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

    Author : Elina Edidovica; [2024]
    Keywords : Lipid nanoparticle; polyethelyne glycol PEG ; alpha-tomatine; N-hexadecyl beta d-maltoside HDM ; DOPC; DPPC; cholesterol; film hydration; stability study; DLS; Cryo-TEM; SAXS; pharmaceutical formulation; Chemistry;

    Abstract : Over the past decade an increasing amount of studies has demonstrated that PEGylation not only precipitates reductions in drug delivery efficiency but also triggers the immune system to produce antibodies, specifically anti-PEG antibodies. The objective of my thesis is to explore alternative surfactants that could viably replace PEG within lipid nanoparticles. READ MORE

  4. 3. Developing a protocol for 3D-printable bioink from decellularised porcine tissue

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

    Author : Vendela Sandin; [2024]
    Keywords : Scaffold; Extracellular matrix; ECM; Bioink; Bioprinting; Collagen; Pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences;

    Abstract : T-cell administration via a scaffold is a promising tool for treatment of inoperable solid tumours. Traditional scaffold materials lack the complexity of the extracellular matrix (ECM) that cells normally grow in. An alternative is to instead use decellularised ECM (dECM) from biological tissue to create the scaffold. READ MORE

  5. 4. Påverkan av tid och temperatur vid analys av pH i träckprov från häst

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Olivia Ahlstedt; Martina Löfgren; [2023]
    Keywords : ekvint; fecesprov; mag-tarmhälsa; metodstudie; pH; provförvaring; provhantering;

    Abstract : Mätning av pH i träck är vanligt förekommande i vetenskapliga artiklar om nutrition och magtarmhälsa på häst. Metoderna för mätning av fekalt pH som beskrivs i litteraturen varierar mellan olika studier vilket gör att det finns en efterfrågan av ett mer standardiserat protokoll för mätning av fekalt pH.

  6. 5. Comparison of properties on Orally Disintegrating Tablets (ODTs) produced by direct compression or fluid bed granulation

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

    Author : Julia Ahlbom; [2023]
    Keywords : Orally disintegrating tablet; fluid bed granulation; disintegration time; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a popular drug delivery system as they dissolve in the mouth, usually within seconds which enables easy medication for patients with problem swallowing. In this thesis properties of ODTs were compared when produced with direct compression of the excipients or the excipients were pretreated to form granules in a fluid bed granulator prior to tableting.
