A qualitative study has been conducted to fulfil

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka två stärkelse-typer, waxy korn och majs stärkelse. Dessa behandlades med syra och de behandlade stärkelserna undersöktes vad avser deras reologiska egenskaper och sedan studerades om de kunde användas vid formulering av olika typer av stärkelsemikrosfärer. I denna studie skall stärkelse användas för att kapsla in jästceThe aim of this diploma work is to investigate the acid hydrolyses of two types of starch, waxy barley and maize starch to be applied for further usage, in rheology studies and formulation of starch microspheres. Modified starch has always been essential in many areas, especially in tablets, where it could be used as a disintegrant. Starch has also been investigated for manufacturing microspheres.

Hur en privatinvesterare ska agera för att lyckas generera god avkastning på fondmarkanden är något som har intresserat många. En strategi för att generera god avkastning kan vara att investera i de fonder som tidigare år har uppvisat god prestation och hoppas på att så kallad Persistence of Performance existerar. Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka om det föreligger en skillnad i investeringsstrategierHow a private investor should act to obtain high return on the fund market is a subject that has been of interest to many. One strategy to gain high returns could be to invest in funds that have performed well in previous years and hope that so-called Persistence of Performance exists. This study aims to investigate if there is a difference in investment strategies based on high and low historical

Designing an energy-efficient building with the use of passive design measures is not always possible due to the location, surrounding buildings or site layout. This can result in larger façade areas facing East or West and causes issues with the low sun altitude. The sun can thereby not be blocked constantly, since daylight is needed for the well-being of students and improves their study perform

Abstract An ice sheet always experience more or less melting during the summer. How much melting that occurs, is mostly determined by the albedo. Albedo is defined as the amount of the incoming shortwave radiation that gets reflected by a surface. When the sunlight starts melting the ice and snow in the summer, the albedo gets lower. The lower albedo itself causes more absorption of radiation, wh

A small yet substantial share of Swedish municipalities have chosen to engage in development aid projects. While examining the incentives behind local authorities’ engagement in non-compulsory projects, this study contributes to the broader research on public policy and organizational theory, as it investigates how reforms are initiated, adopted and spread. The research process consists of three

I svensk rättsskipning har användningen av lekmannadomare månghundraåriga anor. Idag medverkar de i olika typer av dömande verksamhet som exempelvis i brottmål i tingsrätt. Motiven för att använda lekmän har varierat stort över tiden. Ordningen med nämndemännen har visat sig vara seglivad trots att det förekommit en hård kritik. Nämndemän antog tidigare i historien karaktären av bevisning. DärefteThe use of laymen as judges dates back many centuries in the Swedish administration of justice.

In this article, the effects of conflict on the economic growth of neighboring countries (referred to as economic spillover effects of conflict) are studied for Asia, Africa and Latin America during 1990-2019. Compared to previous studies on the subject, this study accounts for the changing conflict climate over the years by starting the sample period 30 years later than other authors. The overall

Analysis of peripheral blood smears is commonly used to aid physicians in diagnosing diseases, checking for infections and evaluating the function of organs. One object of interest in such analysis is the presence of red blood cell aggregates called rouleaux. CellaVision's product currently automates the traditionally resource-intensive process of blood smear analysis, which leads to improved

Barnäktenskap är en angelägenhet som med internationella såväl som nationella medel motarbetas. Bland annat har Förenta nationerna (FN) uttalat att arbetet mot en nolltolerans mot barnäktenskap ska ses som en del av de globala målen som ska uppnås innan 2030. FN:s konvention om barnets rättigheter, allt oftast igenkänd som barnkonventionen, kopplar förbud mot barnäktenskap till fem olika rättighetChild marriage is a matter that is countered by international as well as national means. Among other things, the United Nations (UN) has stated that work towards a zero tolerance for child marriage should be seen as part of the global goals to be achieved by 2030.

Klimatkrisen är en av de största utmaningar som mänskligheten någonsin stått inför och mycket krävs för att bevara klimatet. Många forskare letar lösningar för att stävja de värsta effekterna av ett förändrat klimat. Ett av de mest aktuella problemen är att förhindra eller sakta ned den globala uppvärmningen eftersom det rapporterats att vissa effekter är oåterkalleliga när de väl trätt i kraft, sThis thesis report on an investigation into the applicability of mid-infrared degenerate four-wave mixing (IR-DWFM) as a method to detect N\(_2\)O in ammonia flames. DFWM has previously been used for concentration measurements on other molecules, but has never, to the author's knowledge, been applied to measure N\(_2\)O in ammonia flames before. Through measurements in gas flows at different t

A voice prosthesis is a medical device that helps people who have undergone a total laryngectomy to speak again. It is placed in the wall that separates the trachea and esophagus and consists of a valve that opens when speaking. Atos Medical is one of the few companies that manufactures voice prostheses. One of their voice prosthesis models is called Provox ActiValve. A problem with this model is

Påtryckningarna för en mer hållbar och miljövänlig transport har aldrig varit lika hög som den är i dag. Efterfrågan kommer troligen att fortsätta öka i takt med att kunskapen om klimatförändringar fortsätter att öka och när förväntningarna, om mildrings- och anpassningsåtgärder, intensifieras. En sektor som är i stort behov av att vidta mer begränsningar och anpassningsåtgärder är transportsektorThe urge for more sustainable and environmental-friendly transportation has never been as high as it is today. The demand will probably continue to increase as the knowledge about climate change continues to widen and as the expectations, of mitigation and adaptation measures, intensifies. One sector that is in great need of taking more mitigation and adaptation measures is the transport sector. T

Digital technologies have brought new challenges to society, such as data privacy abuses, attacks on democracy, and even military-grade technologies being accessed by civilians. Europe has taken the leadership by regulating different aspects of the digital economy; however, these regulations may create distortions that will harm European businesses.
