Malaria is a disease that is transmitted by mosquitoes; it has been transmitedaffecting humanity for more than 10.000 years, it affects between 700 000 and 2.7million people per year and it can be deadly, therefore there is a large and increasinginterest in developing a cure against it. Quinine, the first antimalarial, was isolated from the chinchona tree in 1632. Thiscompound was widely used in
The Swedish Armed Forces will expand in personnel and equipment during the following years. In 2025 the number of conscripts will be 8000 per year. The Air Force will keep 2 fighter squadrons of JAS 39 C/D at the same time as they train 4 fighter squadrons in JAS 39 E. To be able to do this, the Air Force need permanent staff, who can train new conscripts and work within the expanded base unit org
The aim of this study is to reveal how the oil-in-water interface of triolein emulsions in aqueous solutions is affected by the lipase activity when using five different surfactants as emulsifiers. For this purpose Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) were applied. Lipases are enzymes that catalyses the hydrolysis of ester bonds of lipids, i.e lipolysis, and act a
Abolition theory and degrowth theory address important issues in the social-political world. An emergent discipline (in academia), abolition theory carefully dissects the ideological and historical underpinnings of the current system of police and prisons in the United States. It offers a systematic critique of their impact. Abolitionist scholars and activists also offer a creative framework for e
Bakgrund: Arbetsterapeuter i kommunal verksamhet ses ofta som förskrivare av hjälpmedel i första hand, på bekostnad av andra hälsofrämjande åtgärder. De får ibland rollen som hjälpmedesleverantör eller brandsläckare men skulle vilja arbeta mer förebyggande och långsiktigt. Syfte: En ökad förståelse för hur arbetsterapeuter ser på sitt arbetssätt gällande förskrivningar av hjälpmedel - Hur beskriveBackground: Occupational therapists in municipality health care are often seen as prescribers of assistive devices first and foremost, at the expense of other health-promoting interventions. They are sometimes given the role of a provider of assistive devices or fire extinguisher but would like to work more preventively in the long-term. Aim: To get a better understanding of occupational therapist
A variety of excess material is produced in the processes used in the scrap-metal based steel industry. The largest stream of material, by volume, is steel slag. Since slag material has very different properties and wide differences in its chemical composition its usage can be found in different sectors. The increased understanding of slag and its properties has made companies less prone to divert
In recent years IT-solutions have had a big and fast progress in many areas and with this progress many opportunities have followed. The building industry has struggled to keep up with the progress IT has gone through, there for there are vast possibilities to use different IT-solutions in this industry today. This project focuses mainly on in what way IT-solutions can be used when building interi
In June the 23, 2016 United Kingdom will hold a referendum on their EU-membership. One of the triggers was the letter that David Cameron sent to Donald Tusk November 10, 2015: “A settlement for the United Kingdom in a reformed Union“. The purpose of the present thesis is to make a profound analysis of David Cameron’s letter, analyzing the proposals and demands he places on EU. Cameron has four ma
This thesis explores the complex and diverse ways in which European Muslim converts create and negotiate a sense of belonging as migrants in Dubai. Drawing on ethnographic work conducted in the fall of 2015, it provides an intimate account of the lives of European Muslim women in Dubai. By addressing the intersection between migration and religious conversion, this thesis seeks to add to existing
This study explores five Delhi-based NGOs with women as their target group and the national and international streams that affect the sector. The method used is ethnographic with interviews, observations and printed material representing the empirical material. The analysis is based on following three themes; ‘the exposition of the target group’, ‘the goal empowerment’ and ‘credibility’. The theme
Youth present either a risk or a great opportunity for change. Traditionally youth have been perceived in binary terms of either as victim of wars or as threats to peace and security. The UNSCR 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security presents a shift in the perception of young people, now regarding them as agents of peace and security. This thesis will shed light on young Palestinians through a case stu
The number of Smart Cities have evolved in recent years and the concept is expanding in cities worldwide. Smart Cities have many potential advantages but to achieve these advantages Smart Cities must protect security and individual privacy. Addressing existing challenges in certain areas becomes critical to achieve further improvement and security and privacy concerns are very important in the Sma
This thesis investigates how well a neural architecture search can find competitive image classifiers on the CIFAR-10 data set with limited computational resources. Most work done on architecture search either uses vast computational resources or narrow and strongly informed space of possible solutions. The solution space proposed consists of residual convolutional networks with separable convol
Automatic label placement on maps has been studied for many decades. This study has addressed the problem of automatic label placement by applying the labelling library PAL for labelling static, large scale city maps which the map company T-Kartor produces. Label placement rules were acquired from an interview with a person from the company. These rules were then applied on the labelling. The aim
This study aimed to understand how older adults experience loneliness and how a community center can reduce feelings of loneliness. Using a qualitative method, we conducted semi-structured interviews with six older adults, aged 65 and above, who regularly visit a community center in Skåne. The analysis focuses on three different themes: experiences of loneliness, the meaning of social life, and th
The mechanisms underlying longitudinal displacements of the arterial wall, that is, displacements of the wall layers along the artery, and the resulting intramural shear strain remain largely unknown. We have already found that these displacements undergo profound changes in response to catecholamines. Wall shear stress, closely related to wall shear rate, represents the viscous drag exerted on th
Background: Adequate bowel preparation prior to colonic diagnostic procedures is essential to ensure adequate visualisation. Scope: This consensus aims to provide guidance as to the appropriate use of bowel preparation for a range of defined clinical circumstances. A consensus group from across Europe was convened and met to discuss appropriate bowel preparation. The use of polyethylene glycol (PE
OBJECTIVE: The influence of the gastrointestinal (GI) microflora in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has not been clearly elucidated. This study was undertaken to see if patients with IBS have an imbalance in their normal colonic flora, as some bacterial taxa are more prone to gas production than others. We also wanted to study whether the flora could be altered by exogenous supplement
Most human adults carry the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and develop immunological memory against the structural and the virus-encoded cellular proteins. The EBV nuclear antigen 6 (EBNA6) elicits cytotoxic T cell responses and it also maintains a persistent antibody response. The majority of sera from EBV-seropositive individuals reacts with a synthetic peptide, p63, comprising 21 amino acids of a rep
