This master’s dissertation has been performed in cooperation with Tyréns and the Dept. of Construction Sciences, LTH. We have investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations with retaining structures and if each side of an excavation could be treated as a separate 2D-case with additional theories to approximate its 3D-effects. End-surface theories from the Commissio
Realizing quantum information processing would be a paradigm shift in the way calculations and encryptions are used, and is as such a very attractive topic. On the hardware end, attempts on making architectures separating quantum processors and memories like in classical computers have been made. One type of possible quantum memory are group-V donor nuclear and electron spins in silicon, which exh
Research question: Which problems and challenges does the change of economic system and globalization represent in contemporary China, especially concerning social change, welfare and civil society? Topic The topic of the following text is the social change taking place in contemporary China, following market transition from a planned economy and redistributive system to market-like economy. The t
During the past few years the focus on bioprocess monitoring and control has increased. An area still under intensive development is the sampling methods for efficient and rapid analysis during fermentations. In this thesis, an online-sampling and monitoring scheme was developed using the versatile automated continuous flow system (VersAFlo) for recombinant protein production. From the implementat
The aim of the study is to analyze how mental illness among young people is represented as a social problem in newspapers. A qualitative method has been utilized to analyze 63 different articles published within the period of 2019-01-01 to 2019-06-30 in three of Sweden’s largest newspapers. Additionally, the theoretical framework that has been applied is the theory of claims-making. Furthermore, i
Infertility is a medical condition where a person either cannot become pregnant or make someone else pregnant. Infertility can be challenging and stressful to process for the individual or couple experiencing it. This study aimed to investigate infertility caused by medical circumstances through qualitative interviews with affected individuals as well as healthcare counsellors who has knowledge an
A specific motif depicting death is the personification of death in combination with a young woman. This constellation is usually referred to as “Death and the Maiden”. The motif’s origins lie around the 16th century but was given a special revival a few centuries later. The main aim of this study is to examine the motif of Death and the Maiden, both with regard to its historical origin and how i
The aim of the study is to research preschool teacher’s understanding and way of talking about ethnicity and diversity in two different municipalities. The design of the methods performed for the study was qualitative and seven interviews have been done to gather empirics. The interview guide was semi-structured in order to be able to keep a flexible approach through the interviews. The result sho
The aim of this master’s thesis is to explore the interplay of commitment and empty labour in two widely different organisations. Empty labour can be described as when you are doing anything else than your official working tasks. Commitment on the other hand is how and in what way you feel obligated to the organisation, your boss, your colleagues’ etcetera. Depending on several factors such as col
Den svenska aktiemarknaden har under senare år utvecklats till att innehålla fler aktiva aktörer, och värdet på aktier noterade på svenska marknadsplatser har ökat markant. I takt med en ökad aktivitet har vi även sett en ökning of- fentliga uppköpserbjudanden och därmed även sådana av fientligt slag. Fient- liga uppköpserbjudanden tar formen av ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande, men med avvikelsenIn recent years, the Swedish stock market has developed to include more ac- tive players, and the value of shares listed on Swedish marketplaces has in- creased significantly. Along with increased activity, we have also seen an in- crease in public takeover offers and thus also those of a hostile nature. Hostile takeover offers take the form of a public takeover offer, but with the exception that
The primary settling tank (PST) is often one of the first treatment steps at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and is the first process in the plant to remove significant amounts of suspended solids. Its role in wastewater treatment however, has oftentimes been neglected and little effort has been made to optimize and model the process. The PSTs have historically been designed based on hydraulic
I svensk rätt har vi en restriktiv syn på informationsinsamling. Ett editionsföreläggande är den möjlighet som finns att med domstolens hjälp få in skriftliga handlingar i processen från en motpart eller från tredje man. I lagtexten i 38 kap. RB anges uttryckligen att editionsplikten omfattar ”skriftliga handlingar”. I och med den tekniska utvecklingen återfinns numera en stor del av de handlingar
In recent years, Deep Learning has proven to be an outstanding tool in the field of computer vision showing promising results in different fields such as the analysis of medical images, obstacle detection for self-driving cars, automatic image caption generation, etc. In the case of Archaeology, the adoption of these methods in the detection of archaeological structures from aerial images has been
By examining Skåne University Hospital, hereafter Sus, Facebook page this study aims to increase the understanding of the communicative choice of being present on social media. This study aims to contribute with knowledge about, and how, communication and activities on social media can contribute to the strategic communication and goals of an authority. The problem formulation of this study consis
Alltsedan internets uppkomst har upphovsrätten tvingats till modernisering för att kunna hantera situationer där upphovsrättsligt skyddat material sprids över nätet på nya sätt i större omfattning än tidigare. Genom fildelning, streaming och delning av material via sociala medieplattformar kan skyddade verk spridas till stora grupper online med enkelhet. I takt med detta behov av modernisering på Ever since the rise of the internet, the copyright legislation has been forced to modernize to be able to cope with situations where copyright protected materials are spread across the internet in new ways and in a greater magnitude than before. Through file sharing, streaming and sharing of material via social media platforms protected work can easily be spread to large groups. As part of the eff
Amyloid β 42 (Aβ42) is one of the peptides associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) due to its aggregation propensity which in the end causes neuronal damage. Much is yet to be understood on how the aggregation processes occurs but most importantly the toxic species responsible have not been identified yet. It is believed that transient oligomeric species are involved in the process. The lack
STEM-EDS is a common technique used for compositional mapping in materials. The vasts amounts of raw data produced by STEM EDS is suitable for advanced analysis using methods in unsupervised machine learning. One powerful method is Principal Component Analysis (PCA) which can automatically discover significant chemical correlations in a sample. Although more powerful than classical analysis, there
