2. 1. The Significance of Things : Affective User-Artefact Relations

   Author : Viktor Hiort af Ornäs; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; User-centred desig; User experience; Significant things; Significant use; Significant consequences; Technology; Teknik; User Centred Product Design; Användarcentrerad produktdesign;

   Abstract : Products help people act, but also thrill, excite, and elicit fear, joy and anger. Artefacts are a natural part of people’s everyday lives, sometimes associated with values, dreams and aspirations. While traditional user-centred approaches have focused on efficiency and effectiveness of use, injury prevention etc. READ MORE

4. 2. Synthesis of Biomedical Polymers and Scaffold Design

   Author : Therese Tyson; Ann-Christine Albertsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ring-opening polymerization; tin alkoxide initiator; stannous octoate; poly p-dioxanone ; copolymer; L-lactide; trimethylene carbonate; degradable porous scaffold; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

   Abstract : This work has focused on the development of new improved synthesis methods of biodegradable aliphatic polymers and on the preparation of porous scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. The aim of the first part of the work was the synthesis of poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDX) homopolymers with high molecular weights using the cyclic tin alkoxide initiator 1-di-n-butyl-1-stanna-2,5-dioxacyclopentane.

5. 3. Noticing nature : exploring more-than-human-centred design in urban farming

   Author : Anton Poikolainen Rosén; Maria Normark; Mikael Wiberg; Ron Wakkary; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Human-Computer Interaction; Sustainability; Posthumanism; Urban farming; design; design; human-computer interaction; människa-datorinteraktion;

   Abstract : This thesis articulates, theorises and furthers the concept of “more-than-human-centred design” by studying the use and design of technology for noticing nature and caring for nature. The emerging field of more-than-human-centred design focuses on the mutual interdependence between humans and non-humans (e.g. READ MORE

6. 4. Hyaluronan Based Biomaterials with Imaging Capacity for Tissue Engineering

   Author : Yu Zhang; Dmitri Ossipov; Carsten Werner; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hyaluronan; hydrogel; scaffold; tissue engineering; imaging; interpenetrating network; MRI; fluorescence imaging; scaffold degradation;

   Abstract : This thesis presents the preparation of hyaluronan-based biomaterials with imaging capability and their application as scaffolds in tissue engineering. First, we have synthesized HA derivatives functionalized with different chemoselective groups. READ MORE

7. 5. New alternatives to combat Listeria monocytogenes and Chlamydia trachomatis : Design, synthesis, and evaluation of substituted ring-fused 2-pyridones as anti-virulent agents

   Author : Martina Kulén; Fredrik Almqvist; Anna Linusson Jonsson; Fritiof Pontén; Morten B. Strøm; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Antibiotic resistance; anti-virulence; Listeria monocytogenes; Chlamydia trachomatis; ring-fused 2-pyridone; organic synthesis; structure-based design; PrfA; drug design; structure-activity relationship;

   Abstract : Antibiotic resistance has become a global health burden with the number of resistant bacteria continuously increasing. Antibiotic drugs act by being either bactericidal (killing bacteria) or bacteriostatic (inhibiting growth of bacteria). However, these modes of action increase the selective pressure on the bacteria.
