1. The Significance of Things : Affective User-Artefact Relations
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
2. Synthesis of Biomedical Polymers and Scaffold Design
Sammanfattning : 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.

3. Noticing nature : exploring more-than-human-centred design in urban farming
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
4. Hyaluronan Based Biomaterials with Imaging Capacity for Tissue Engineering
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
5. New alternatives to combat Listeria monocytogenes and Chlamydia trachomatis : Design, synthesis, and evaluation of substituted ring-fused 2-pyridones as anti-virulent agents
Sammanfattning : 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.
