Ethical and existential issues on healthcare in a combat environment

Expertise, Authority and Control on the InterneT (EXACT): a study of the formation of source credibility in Web 2.0 environments for learning

The EXACT project addresses how people come to grips with the transference of formal expertise and control of information from institutions, such as publishers, schools, and libraries, to the users in Web 2.0 resources, and how users justify and uphold trust in the resources’ authority.

Cell macroencapsulation for efficient bioprocesses

The overall goal of this project is to develop generally applicable procedures for production of chemicals from carbohydrate-containing raw materials using packed microbial cells at high local cells concentrations. The system should lead to higher productivity and increased robustness against microbial contamination, toxic chemicals, osmotic stress and high concentrations of raw materials, compared to traditional continuous bioreactors using freely suspended or immobilized cells.

Novel catalysts for metal catalyzed tar cracking

If metals are used when biomass undergoes gasification, the process can be more effective. For example, it may be possible to get rid of tar at lower temperatures. Tar risks destroying the equipment and reducing efficiency. Abas Mohsenzadeh at the University of Borås will examine how metals affect the process.

Exploring the timespaces of young adults’ subscription-based audiobook reading

The infrastructure of reading is currently witnessing significant changes.

ElectrodeAd

A challenge in medical smart textiles such as ECG (electrocardiography) garments for long term heart monitoring, is a poor signal transfer between the body and the embedded electronics due to a poor skin-electrode interface.

RESORTEX

In order to reduce the proportion of textile waste sent to incineration or landfill, the interest in textile fiber-to-fiber recycling has increased in the recent years. However, the total volumes in these flows are still small, and less than 1% of textile waste is recycled globally into new textiles. To increase this percentage, it is important to develop a well-functioning textile recycling value chain, both locally and globally.

Digital reading by listening among students who are blind or vision impaired

This project is conducted with the Agency for Accessible Media, MTM as a partner and aims to create a research-based understanding of how students with visual impairments in Sweden read by listening, in order to create better opportunities for libraries and educational institutions to support these readers.

E-commerce Managers at Work

E-commerce managers have become key persons in retail organizations. In an era where e-commerce is exploding, not least due to the implications of Covid-19 on markets and consumer behaviours, the role of e-commerce managers is becoming increasingly important.
