According to traditional research in subjective well-being, the more pleasant emotions we experience, the more satisfied with life we are. But according to newer research, our physical and mental health, including satisfaction with life, also depends on the emotional diversity between the positive and negative emotions we experience, and the difference between the emotions we desire and those we a

En ny akustisk infångningsenhet med kraftigt ökad kapacitet kan anrika nanopartiklar från kroppsvätskor. Det finns otroligt mycket information att utvinna ur biologiska vätskor som blod och urin. Biomolekyler som proteiner, blodkroppar och RNA kan säga väldigt mycket om en patients hälsa. Denna information är därför väldigt användbar för läkare när de ska sätta diagnoser, men för att få ut någonThis thesis outlines the design and construction of an acoustophoretic trapping device with greatly increased capacity and throughput, compared to current commercial systems. In acoustic trapping, a strong, localised acoustic field is generated inside a channel. This field can capture and retain particles against a flow, allowing for nanoparticle purification and enrichment without the need for ul

Industrisamhällets syn på resurshantering har länge sett densamma ut och följer en linjär konsumtionsmodell . Den modellen innebär att företag utvinner och extraherar material, använder dem för att skapa en produkt, säljer sedan den till konsumenten som gör sig av med produkten när hen inte längre har användning för den och till slut blir produkten till avfall (Ellen McArthur Foundation, 2013). DeIndusty’s view on resource management has for a long time looked the same and follows a linear consumption model. This type of consumption model puts a lot of pressure on the Earth’s resources. In contrast to this, the concept of circular economy has developed which aims to create a closed production loop by reusing “waste” and resources as well as by prolonging the life of materials (Leising, Qui

In this paper a simulation of a convective cell of a thunderstorm system observed 19th of June 2000 during the Severe Thunderstorm Electrification and Precipitation Study (STEPS) field campaign is being analysed. The storm system has been simulated with an Aerosol-Cloud model and the analysis is based on the output data. The analysis spans over 30 minutes which covers the mature stage and the begi

The number of companies in Sweden has shown a significant increase over the last five years (www.bolagsverket.se). Data about these companies is an important asset for the customer relationship management market. In most business areas, users are in search for new customers. Companies, such as Lundalogik AB, provide a service, where the analysts can look for customers in an interactive environment

AI-modellen ChatGPT har blivit omåttligt populär på kort tid och används dagligen av miljontals människor. Genom att analysera stora mängder data bestående av offentlig information utför AI-modellen tjänster som CVskrivande, diktkomponerande och besvarande av frågor om allt från vetenskap, till kultur och historia. ChatGPT används i mycket stor utsträckning, trots att den genererade informationen

Fed aquaculture is a necessary practice to meet the seafood requirements of a growing population in a sustainable manner. There is a high demand for fish feed to meet the rising protein requirements of the industry. Currently, fish feeds are either unsustainable, affected by seasonal variations, lack a complete amino acid profile, lack scalability, or are too expensive. Single Cell Protein (SCP) i

Abstract People with psychiatric disabilities (PD) are a vulnerable group, and should be offered support and rehabilitation when needed. Day centres that provide individually matched daily occupations are an important link to provide that. The present study aimed at gaining knowledge regarding the occupations performed in day centres, in terms of the participants' descriptions of what they were do

Terrestrial ecosystem models (TEMs) contain the coupling of many biogeochemical processes with a large number of parameters involved. In many cases those parameters are highly uncertain. In order to reduce those uncertainties, parameter estimation methods can be applied, which allow the model to be constrained against observations. We compare the performance and results of two such parameter estim

Objective. Overactive bladder (OAB) is a chronic condition that has a profound impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This study measured changes in bother of OAB symptoms and self-perceived HRQoL over 6 months in patients treated with extended-release (ER) tolterodine in a naturalistic setting. Material and methods. This was a prospective, single-cohort observational study of patients

Idag har stora delar av världens befolkning tillgång till internet och många äger smarta telefoner och datorer. Den tekniska och teknologiska utvecklingen har skapat snabb och enkel tillgång till fakta, skapat möjligheter för människor att hålla kontakten med varandra på distans, skapat nya jobb och förenklat spridningen av information. I takt med utvecklingen har även användningen av sociala medi

Med allt större displayer i bilar och med en mer komplex funktionalitet på dessa, har förardistraktion blivit ett växande problem. I detta arbetet studerades detta problem och funktionalitet för att minska antalet interaktioner i mediaspelaren för att starta musik implementerades. Genom användar-testande påvisades att med ett användarvänligt och smart användargränssnitt kan detta uppnås.This project covers the increasingly growing problem of in-car driver distraction due to infotainment systems. The purpose was to understand this topic and variables, like size and user flows, that lead to distraction and then implement a solution in Spotify ́s Apple CarPlay application. This to combat this problem by providing the user with greater usability in terms of starting music playback. A

This qualitative study is about the individual supportive conversation with the school welfare officer in upper secondary school. The main aim of the study was to find out what the pupils get out of a series of conversations with the school welfare officer and what it means for the pupils that the welfare officer belongs to the school organization. Six qualitative interviews were held with pupils

At the beginning of the nineties, a new form of organisation, the process organisation, was about to be born. The features of the process organisation were a flexible organisational that works in a world where the pace of development is increasing all the time. Today there are many organisations that have mapped their processes, but in order to truly become a process organisation, the processes am

An energy service company (ESCO) is an example of an atypical business concept that generates greater positive externalities as its business grows. The basic business concept of an ESCO is a company that installs energy efficient improvements in their customers' buildings, such as new lighting and ventilation systems, and then recovers expenditures and gains profits by splitting the resulting

This Master’s Thesis, under the Division of Machine Design at Lund Institute of Technology, was conducted at Presona AB located in Tomelilla, Sweden during the first half of 2006. Presona AB is a leading manufacturer of equipment for handling and compression of waste. The object of the thesis is to reduce the manufacturing cost of Presona’s heavy duty stationary compactor. This is acquired by rede

The purpose of this paper is to measure living standards for the population of Chocó, Colombia, using four waves of the DHSurveys between 1990 and 2005. Recent maternal history allowed the construction of a pooled dataset of 3.055 children and 779 mothers. The concept of living standards is measured as the ability to ensure child and marriage survival subject to short term economic stress, which i

In the past, absolute monarchy was the most common form of government across the world. Since then, we have seen a great decline in this specific government type. However, in a world that still consists of several autocratic regimes, some absolute monarchies still remain. Not only do they exist in a time of democracy and autocracy, but they are also considered to be the most stable form of autocra
