Considering the depersonalization that the bureaucratic role entails, it is interesting to analyze the bureaucratic role-play that occurs between public and private sphere from a dramaturgical perspective. In order to investigate the personal shift of bureaucrats’ attitude, I conducted participant observations and interviews at an office of a Swedish Agency. Based on critical theory and feminist c
The phase center is defined as the point on an antenna from which the far field radiation seems to originate. Phase center calculations are often uncertain and vague, and very little concrete information is available on the subject. Recently, a replacement parameter called the radiation center was introduced in [5]. The radiation center is more rigorously defined than the phase center and possesses a
School compliance is affected by several interactions and circumstances according to young people. Previous research has mostly limited its focus on the underlying reasons of school refusal and school truancy; researchers have primarily gathered information and data from observations, literature studies or by interviewing professionals. In this study we have chosen to focus on school attendance in
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently the third leading cause of death worldwide and for patients with end-stage disease, the only viable treatment is lung transplantation. In order to meet this clinical need, novel approaches of tissue engineering have emerged. 3D bioprinting technologies are one such rapidly evolving approach and show promising results in terms of biocompatib
Introduction: The novel external beam therapy technique using ultra-high dose rates known as FLASH has become known for its normal tissue sparing effect. Currently in Lund, veterinary clinical trials are carried out on canine patients using electrons with ultra- high dose rates. By implementing a treatment planning system for FLASH-irradiation, the dose distribution can be visualized and the gantr
Floral traits are shown to covary predictably with local pollinators by a growing number of studies, and linking this variation to fitness can help to gain an even more predictive view. Pollinators have long been recognized to drive trait evolution in plants and plant communities. Most studies searching for patterns in how pollination affects plants do not consider that pollinator selection might
If human rights are to be enjoyed by every person regardless of origin or nationality; if human rights are the rights of the human being under any circumstances, then the best way to gauge the quality and depth of our systems of protection of human rights will be to examine the extent to which these are enjoyed by their most genuine recipients: those deprived of wealth and citizenship, a home and
The present research is aimed at analyzing spirituality according to the way it is presented in academic management literature. To uncover comprehensively way this phenomenon is described, a thorough scientific analysis of the selected articles was performed including coding the materials, systematically categorizing them as well as critically investigating particular aspects. While conducting the
This student thesis is part of the ROSETTA project that examines the possibilities of future manufacturing based on close human-robot interaction. In this report, the capabilities of a robot system that is controlled by the Kinect sensor of the Microsoft XBOX-360 are tested. A setup including two Kinect devices and one robot is presented. Applications for calibration of two Kinect sensors, robot
Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme, proposed in 2008,is the first of its kind energy efficiency trading scheme in India. PAT aims for improving the energy efficiency in the eight most energy intensive large scale industrial sectors, covering almost 54% of the total energy consumption in India, through certification of energy savings which can be traded. This thesis seeks to provide an early i
This study aims to investigate how people agree to precise and less precise arguments and if happy mood affects the agreement to precise and less precise arguments. Four hundred and forty three participants were recruited through Facebook and were randomly divided into the two conditions happy mood condition and neutral mood condition. Participants in both conditions read a scenario where an eyewi
To attract and to appeal to their consumers, designs and concepts of advertisements continually have to be changed in an industry that is saturated with similar campaigns. In this thesis, I analyse how this change is created through the depiction of “ugly models”. The focus lies on the way of their presentation in advertisements in order to make the “ugly” attractive. Based on the models’ presenta
Food policies have become increasingly relevant for the federal and municipal planning in the recent decades. Poor quality diets are associated with a number of diseases, such as obesity, heart diseases, diabetes, and some cancers. I have done a case study of food policy in San Francisco. I focus on the three dimensions of the city food planning, such as access to healthy food, sustainable and loc
As the world faces great sustainability challenges, climate adaptation and mitigation strategies are being linked to sustainability transitions as a desired approach for many cities, especially in the Nordic countries. This thesis looked at how the City of Malmö in Sweden, as a case study, is currently governing the transition towards climate adaptation and environmental sustainability, with a foc
Ammonia (NH3) is an important chemical both as a chemical precursor and in its own right. It is therefore of practical importance to be able to visualize ammonia gas especially when ammonia is present in combustion or flue-gas environments. This thesis is focused on the use of laser-induced fluorescence with the stated aim of imaging ammonia in low concentrations, with the end-goal of applying the
Ett ogenomskinligt öga? - Intermediära filament i vuxen näthinna och lins i odling En av de vanligaste orsakerna till synnedsättning att ögats lins blir grumlig, såkallad grå starr. Grå starr uppkommer när linsens proteiner hamnar i obalans och klumpar ihop sig. En viss grupp av dessa proteiner, som kallas intermediära filament, är i en frisk lins viktiga för genomskinligheten. Dessa proteiner fi

This thesis provides an overview of Vilnius citizens’ practices of sorting, storing and disposal. Comparative perspectives from different settings: Vilnius, Copenhagen and Jeddah will highlight that waste is contextual – heavily influenced by cultural norms and habits. A historical perspective is incorporated to understand how different generations have developed routines and norms, and to what ex
