Abstract:
This study investigates the accessibility of the Ruter mobile app, a major digital platform provided by the public transport authority for Oslo and Akershus counties in Norway. By employing a combination of case study analysis, accessibility audits, and user experience testing, the research evaluates the app's compliance with WCAG and its overall usability for individuals with disabilities. Despite the inclusion of several accessibility features, the findings reveal significant areas for improvement, particularly in contrast handling, form field support, and logical sequencing. Feedback from a group of six participants highlights the necessity for continuous enhancement of the app design to ensure it is user-friendly and accessible. This research emphasizes the importance of universal design principles and suggests that with targeted enhancements, Ruter AS can significantly improve the inclusivity and accessibility of its digital platforms.

Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
Carrier Transport
Drift Current:
The drift of charge carriers is started by an external electric field (E). Charged particles, such as electrons and holes, experience an acceleration between collisions with lattice atoms. For electrons, this results in a drift velocity (vd) given by:
Carrier-Mediated Transport
Active transport involves two types of membrane-spanning transporters: uptake and efflux. Uptake transporters are expressed in the small...
Active Transport
Primary active transporters, like Na+, K+ and -ATPase, directly utilize ATP to move ions across the membrane. These transporters play significant roles in various physiological processes. For instance, Na+, K+ and -ATPase maintain...
