The Single Molecule Spectroscopy Group at the department of Chemical Physics in the Chemical Centre of Lund University conducts research involving spectroscopy on single molecules of organic dyes. Fluorescence microscopy using a wide-field scheme has been used and such a scheme has many advantages such as full image capture at once when using a high sensitivity CCD or CMOS camera. Using different
Trust is considered to be a key factor in creating lasting and supportive relationships. The aim of this paper was to explore the trust-building process in the relationship between unaccompanied refugee minors and their residential staff. Do the unaccompanied minors living in Swedish residential care trust the personnel and what factors promote or inhibit trust? This questions where explored throu
The O, N, and C 1s core level photoemission spectra of the nucleobases cytosine and uracil have been measured in the vapor phase, and the results have been interpreted via theoretical calculations. Our calculations accurately predict the relative binding energies of the core level features observed in the experimental photoemission results and provide a full assignment. In agreement with previous
The present European Standard for footwear testing (EN 344) classifies footwear thermally by a temperature drop inside the footwear during 30 minutes at defined conditions. Today, other methods for footwear thermal testing are also available. The aim of this study was to compare EN 344 with thermal foot method. Six boots were tested according to both methods. Additional tests with modified standar
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det övergripande syftet för denna avhandling är att bidra till utvecklingen av en teori om förändringsarbete och lärande i arbetslivet. De specifika förändringsprocesser som studerades skedde inom ramen för en interaktiv förändringsansats som syftade till en emancipatorisk utveckling: att de anställda skulle få ökat inflytande över sin arbetssituation, vilket i sin tur
A kinetic model of the fermentative production of lactic acid from glucose by Lactococcus lactis ssp. lactis ATCC 19435 in whole-wheat flour has been developed. The model consists of terms for substrate and product inhibition as well as for the influence of pH and temperature. Experimental data from fermentation experiments under different physical conditions were used to fit and verify the model.
Catchment-scale material transport models are today important tools for water and environmental management. However, modelling of material transport is extremely complex due to the physical, chemical and biological processes involved. The complexity calls for spatial distribution and thereby a need for large amounts of input data that generally are not available. Lumped models based on conceptual
The development of cellulose dissolution/regeneration strategies constitutes an increasingly active research field. These are fundamental aspects of many production processes and applications. A wide variety of suitable solvents for cellulose is already available. Nevertheless, most solvent systems have important limitations, and there is an intense activity in both industrial and academic researc
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate compliance with screening and prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in relation to background data regarding area-based socioeconomic status. METHODS: Our department annually invites 4300 65-year-old men from the city of Malmö and 15 neighboring municipalities to ultrasound AAA screening. In a cross-sectional cohort study, compliance and AAA prevalence among 8269 men
Iterative reconstruction has a wide spectrum of proven advantages in the field of conventional X-ray absorption-based computed tomography (CT). In this paper, we report on an algebraic iterative reconstruction technique for grating-based differential phase-contrast CT (DPC-CT). Due to the differential nature of DPC-CT projections, a differential operator and a smoothing operator are added to the i
This essay looks at the concept of The Responsibility to Protect as a principle and examines under what circumstances and by whom the R2P can be transferred into a transnational norm. Focus in this essay lies on the work of three regional organizations; The African Union, The European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, who have embraced the principles of R2P. The essay further exami
The aim of this study was to find an understanding of elderly care staff´s views on documentation requirement and documentation as a task and also to examine managers views on implementation of new tasks. We wanted to enter more deeply into the tension between the managers´ expectations, based on the set of goals made from politicians, and the response of this from the elderly care staff and what
Ericsson India is looking into the possibility to enter a new business in the country. The business is a “telecom site leasing” service which would be included in Ericsson’s service portfolio. Services are an increasingly important part of the company’s total revenues. Demand for so called turn-key services, meaning full implementation and control over a customer’s network, is an example of a serv
This thesis is about cultural rights, one of the less discussed categories of human rights. Although seldom mentioned in the human rights discourse outside of the context of economic, social and cultural rights, cultural rights are important on their own. They are present in many international conventions and declarations, as well as being one of the main areas of concern for UNESCO. The thesis be
Moving toward the open innovation (OI) model requires multifaceted transformations within companies. It often involves giving away the tools for product development or sharing future product directions with open tools ecosystems. Moving from the traditional closed innovation model toward an OI model for software development tools shows the potential to increase software development competence and
In recent years, many Swedish municipalities have taken actions and initiatives to support citizens to more sustainable textile and fashion consumption. This study seeks to, on one hand, describe more advances of such initiatives, what actors in municipalities, affiliated organizations, and collaboration partners that initiated the actions. Another aim is to investigate existing government policie
This cross-sectional study investigated performed activities and the level of satisfaction with everyday occupations among people (n = 67) with advanced Parkinson’s disease (PD), and how these factors and experiences of social relationships were related to mental well-being. Managing one’s hygiene and physical exercises were activities that the majority still performed, whereas few were engaged in
