A new encapsulation strategy for probiotics is highly needed to tackle the challenge of significant viability loss of bacteria during storage and passage through the gastrointestinal system. A new controlled delivery system for probiotics based on EC oleogels is proposed in this thesis. A relatively non-complicated in vitro lipolysis model was established to evaluate the relative conversion from t

Deep-learning methods using unpaired datasets hold great potential for image reconstruction, especially in biomedical imaging where obtaining paired datasets is often difficult due to practical concerns. A recent study by Lee et al. (Nature Machine Intelligence 2023) has introduced a parameterized physical model (referred to as FMGAN) using the unpaired approach for adaptive holographic imaging, w

Asymmetrical Flow Field Flow Fractionation is a technique with high versatility and is used for size fractionation of polydisperse and widely size distributed samples from various fields of research. Colloidal samples in food systems, formulated biologics from pharmaceutical science, nanoparticles from water treatment systems, molecular distributions in extracted material from wood science, and li

Time-resolved three-dimensional (3D) X-ray imaging techniques rely on obtaining 3D information for each time point and are crucial for materials-science applications in academia and industry. Standard 3D X-ray imaging techniques like tomography and confocal microscopy access 3D information by scanning the sample with respect to the X-ray source. However, the scanning process limits the temporal re

Some observers claim that ecumenism has entered the season of winter and that ecumenism does not flourish as it has done in other periods. This article proposes that queer theory, an academic field that in different ways addresses and challenges questions of identity, offers perspectives to respond to this challenge and allow ecumenism to enter springtime. One of the main elements within queer the

Political interest in the circular economy (CE) concept is increasing globally, creating the conditions for a transformation towards a more circular society. Meanwhile, the security implications of specific circular solutions and their impact on prioritisation between CE policies remain unclear. This paper applied an abductive approach to systematic and critical review methods to explore the conne

Cascading effects, arising from intricate interactions among vital social and technical infrastructures, are essential to consider when assessing the societal impacts of various disruptions caused by, for example, natural hazards, climate change, and antagonistic attacks. Critical Infrastructures (CIs) form the backbone of society, and their interdependent nature amplifies the risk of cascading ef

From 2015 to 2016 onwards, migration has been subjected to intense political contestation within EU Member States. In this context, sustainable migration has become the new overarching objective of the Commission. Despite the various references to sustainable migration, a closer investigation of EU migration law and policy does not provide a coherent picture of the legal implications of this conce

This chapter begins by explaining that family rights have been protected under EU law long before the adoption of the Charter. In particular, the chapter argues that the Court of Justice of the EU consolidated the protection of family life through a free movement rationale, guided by the need to eliminate obstacles to the exercise of the fundamental freedoms guaranteed by the Treaty. The chapter t

The core aim of this chapter is to explore the potential of the EU Charter in developing social protection in times of poly-crisis. In the past, EU Member States have gone through a number of events that have been termed as crises, calling for a paradigm shift in EU governance (economic, migration, and more recently health crises). While the effects of these crises are still felt, the EU is faced

In EU migration law scholarship, accounts of crisis and its relation to law flourished in relation to the migrant and refugee arrivals which took place in the in the period of 2015-2016. To offer new insight on the relation of crisis, EU law-making and migration, this chapter focuses on the same topic but from an entirely different angle and time frame. Specifically, this chapter does not look at

Digitaliseringen och informations- och kommunikationstekniken förändrar vårtsätt att kommunicera, arbeta och samarbeta och möjliggör att arbetsuppgifter kan utföras på distans. Att utföra tillsyn på distans kan vara en viktig faktor för ökad effektivitet och flexibilitet, men kan kräva anpassningar av tillvägagångsätten vid inspektion och tillsyn liksom förändring av modeller för tillsyn. Tillsyns

Industrial relevance is essential for an applied research area like software engineering. However, it is unclear how to achieve industrial relevance and how we communicate and assess it. We propose a reasoning framework to support the design, reporting, and assessment of research for industrial relevance.Industrial relevance is essential for an applied research area like software engineering.
