The clinical utility of microfluidic techniques is often hampered by an unsatisfying sample throughput. Here, the effect of inertial forces on acoustofluidic particle sorting at high sample throughputs is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Polystyrene particles are acoustically prefocused to obtain precise trajectories. At increased flow rates it is observed that the particle stream is
Owing to recent developments in CMOS technology, it is now possible to exploit tomographic microscopy at third-generation synchrotron facilities with unprecedented speeds. Despite this rapid technical progress, one crucial limitation for the investigation of realistic dynamic systems has remained: A generally short total acquisition time at high frame rates due to the limited internal memory of av
This chapter explores how an undergraduate elective course employs a community of practice to change students’ perceptions on sustainable entrepreneurship. For this purpose, the authors conducted a case study of an undergraduate elective course in a Swedish business school re-designed to adopt sustainability and sustainable entrepreneurship education. The authors found evidence that, when students

Samråd är ett obligatoriskt moment i den svenska samhällsplaneringen i dag. Samtidigt visar forskning att det lagstadgade samrådet inte är tillräckligt för att skapa ett medborgardeltagande som har inflytande och är representativt. Uppsatsen har studerat metoder för medborgardialog i Stockholms stads projekt Fokus Skärholmen. Eftersom Fokus Skärholmen är ett pilotprojekt för socialt hållbar stadsuConsultation is a mandatory element in Swedish community planning today. At the same time, research shows that the statutory consultation is not sufficient to create a civic participation that is influential and representative. The thesis has studied methods for citizen dialogue in the City of Stockholm's project Fokus Skärholmen. Since Fokus Skärholmen is a pilot project for socially sustaina
This essay is based on an observation, made by the author, that the scenes in Malmö for rap battles and roast battles have actors in common. To identify and discuss why that is, the essay will conduct an aesthetic analysis and compare common tools used by rappers and comedians in the respective scenes. The analysis relies on discussions and theories about music as a performance and the term “music
This master thesis explores the usage of stainless steel in mobile phones. The first part is an introduction to stainless steel which explains the properties of the different stainless steels, and also the most common methods used for sheet metal production. It is concluded with a selection process to determine which stainless steels are best suited to be used at Sony Ericsson Mobile Communication
Across a wide range of cultural and socio-political contexts, matchmaking has been valued as a legitimate profession that involves labor and remuneration in cultures. It represents the long-lasting commercialization of effective intimacy building. In the era of algorithms and platforms,the emergence of modern matchmaking, such as in mobile dating apps (MDAs), showcases the impact of platformizatio

My intention with this project was to investigate the possibilities and difficulties with working in Vietnam as a Scandinavian designer. As a means of the investigation I was going to develop products in collaborations with local handicraft manufacturers using locally sourced materials. In the end it turned out to be so much more than only investigating possibilities and difficulties; it turned o
Throughout five chapters, the thesis deals with the issues of international humanitarian and human rights law arising out of the practice of punitive house demolition, that is repetitively utilized in the Occupied Palestinian Territories by the Israeli authorities, in response to the acts of insurgency/terrorism. The first chapter (Introduction) enables the reader to get a glimpse of the precise o

During the Middle Ages the concepts of `them and us' became concrete in the shape of fiercely defended frontiers, some of which were physical, geographic and political, while others were more ideological. This volume, the proceedings of an international symposium held at Lund University in 2000, presents twenty-four papers which examine the archaeological evidence for frontiers across Europe. Divi
