1. Refining the particulate matter airway deposition arising from indoor cooking-related biomass combustion for children in the Haramaya district in Ethiopia
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Ergonomi och aerosolteknologiSammanfattning : Background: Air pollution, a global issue affecting millions of individuals, is linked to adverse health effects on the respiratory system, but also to e.g., cancer and cardiovascular ailments. In low-income countries, cooking is often conducted by biomass-combustion, causing women and children to be exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution. LÄS MER
2. Ventilation for reduced indoor spread of Covid 19 and similar diseases : A literature review focusing on hospital environments
Master-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/Energisystem och byggnadsteknikSammanfattning : Today, a significant portion of individuals’ time is spent indoors, estimated at approximately 90% of their total time. This raises concerns about the transmission of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) instigating Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and similar viruses and highlights the critical role of ventilation systems in indoor environments, which this study aims to investigate.

3. Developing a portable, customizable, single-channel EEG device for homecare and validating it against a commercial EEG device
Master-uppsats, KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Sammanfattning : There are several commercial electroencephalography (EEG) devices on the market; however, affordable devices are not versatile for diverse research applications. The purpose of this project was to investigate how to develop a low-cost, portable, single-channel EEG system for a research institute that could be used for neurofeedback-related applications in homecare.

4. Developing Wastewater-based Early Warning System for the Detection of Disease Outbreaks and Emerging Variants with focus on SARS-CoV-2
Master-uppsats, KTH/Industriell bioteknologiSammanfattning : Under covid-19-pandemin har avloppsvattenbaserad epidemiologi (WBE) använts i stor utsträckning som ett komplement till kliniska tester över många delar av världen. Detta projekt syftade till att detektera och kvantifiera belastningen av Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) i avloppsvattenprover med hjälp av Revers transkriptas kvantitativ polymeraskedjereaktion (RT-qPCR).

5. Characterization of Antigenic Properties of Two Immunogenic Proteins of Streptococcus pneumoniae
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk biokemi och mikrobiologiSammanfattning : The bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus), is considered to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in infants and the elderly. It is one of the most frequent causes of respiratory tract infections, which sporadically have the potential to develop into serious invasive symptoms including sepsis and meningitis. LÄS MER
