Popular Abstract in English Yeasts are eukaryotic microorganisms classified as fungi and consist of a number of species. The english word ‘yeast’ (as well as its equivalent in many other languages) is based on the words ’foam’ and ’to rise’ – and thus direct references to the fermentation process that produce beer and bread (Kurtzman et al., 2011). Some yeast species are known to be pathogens for The non-conventional wine and beer yeast Dekkera bruxellensis is of great interest for the food industry and academic research. This Crabtree-positive yeast is a good ethanol producer and can compete the baker´s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, in ethanol and pH tolerance and could be an even better organism for the biofuel production from alternative carbon sources. D. bruxellensis is considered t

The hitchhiker’s guide to satellite dependencies For the last half century, humanity has gained access to better weather reports, live coverage of the Olympics, and a handheld map of the globe, all thanks to satellites in space. But what happens if these satellites fail? That question has been asked, but never answered in full. This thesis has aimed to assists researchers in answering that questiVital societal functions and critical infrastructure rely to an increasing extent on services from space, such as navigation and positioning systems, timekeeping, and communications. However, understanding of space service dependencies is low among practitioners and society at large, with research on societal space dependency being limited as well. In order to avoid cascading effects from disrupti

China has ever since the 1990s emerged as a manufacturing superpower, following its liberalized trade reforms and its entrance to the World Trade Organization. This has caused China to expand their exports substantially, in particular to the OECD countries. This has lead to an increasing debate on whether, or to what extent, increasing manufacturing exports from China to the OECD countries has con

Countering the effects of human-induced environmental threats around the world is more urgent than ever. At the same time the power of companies has increased in the last decades. Activities of companies are capable of affecting human health negatively and in some cases the effects are so severe as to give rise to human rights violations. The question that is asked in this thesis is whether this p

The heat recovery system for ventilation is of major importance when low energy buildings are built. One alternative to the mechanical ventilation systems with heat recovery is to use a brine based run-around system that allows for heat recovery in for instance hybrid ventilated buildings. This type of heat recovery system has the potential to lower the need for electricity for the fans. Also, the
