The crystal morphology influences the properties of organic compounds, especially in pharmaceutics such as the dissolution and absorption of drugs in the human cells. In antisolvent crystallization, the crystal size and shape are tied to the degree of mixing and dosage of antisolvent, which could be controlled using membranes with specific morphology/surface properties. Little is known though on t
Antisolvent crystallization is commonly used in the formation of heat-sensitive compounds as it is the case for most active pharmaceutical ingredients. Membranes have the ability to control the antisolvent mass transfer to the reaction medium, providing excellent mixing that inhibits the formation of local supersaturations responsible for the undesired properties of the resulting crystals. Still,
Crystallization faces great challenges from the point of view of technology readiness, process economics, and energy consumption. Membranes are capable of controlling both energy and mass transfer, and they can lead to major improvements if integrated into antisolvent crystallization processes, for example, limiting unfavorable kinetics and thermodynamics that are responsible for undesired crystal
The production of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from CO2 and methanol (MeOH) is an attractive route for CO2 capture and utilization. In this process, the separation of DMC from the reaction medium is critical to maximize the conversion of CO2. However, DMC and MeOH form an azeotropic mixture that is difficult to separate. This work investigates the possibility of using task-specific ionic liquids (TSIL
With the continuous pressure of water contamination caused by textile industry, loose nanofiltration (LNF) membranes prepared by green materials with an extraordinary water permeability are highly desirable for the recovery and purification of dyes and salts. In this work, low-pressure LNF membranes with ultrahigh permeability were fabricated via one-step interfacial polymerization (IP), in which
The separation of dimethyl carbonate (DMC) –an ecofriendly organic compound– from a reaction medium is oftentimes complicated due to the presence of other organic compounds, particularly when the mixture forms an azeotrope. To this end, pervaporation is proposed in this work as the perfect candidate to solve this separation puzzle, using novel membranes which flipped the ratio of the binary mixtur
Air pollutants, such as particulate matter, are known to contribute to disease in humans, but their impact on wildlife remains understudied. A contributing factor to this health impact is the fraction of inhaled particles depositing in the respiratory system. Compared to humans, birds are equipped with a very different respiratory system, which may render them more or less susceptible to air pollu
The final disappearance of the aurochs (Bos primigenius) from Poland in the 17th century marked the culmination of a decline that had begun as early as the Atlantic period. Although human activities primarily drove its extinction, the reasons for its earlier disappearance in Scandinavia remain uncertain.

Aim: To investigate, analyse, and describe patients’ experiences of self-supervised training with the voice therapy app The Voice Assistant (Swedish: Rösthjälpen). Method: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 participants who completed voice therapy using the app to support continued home training. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analysed using systematic text condens
Situating this presentation in experiences and reflections around changing conditions for doing feminist research, I will illustrate examples of the increased violent and aggressive enactments by neo-Nazi and neo-fascist actors taking place in the academy during the last years. I will recognize the fluidity and interchangeability between digital platforms and non-digital spaces, highlighting alter
