Nanotechnology gives us materials with enhanced or completely new properties. At the same time, inhalation of manufactured nano-objects has been related to an array of adverse biological effects. We characterized particle emissions, which occurred during maintenance of common metal nanoparticle generators and contrasted the properties of the emitted particles with those originally produced by the
Twenty-three isolates of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, five isolates of C. acutatum, two isolates of C. capsici and six isolates of C. boninense associated with anthracnose disease on coffee (Coffea spp.) in Vietnam were identified based on morphology and DNA analysis. Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from the internal transcribed spacer region of nuclear rDNA and a portion of mitochondria
Det snabba skiftet inom bilindustrin mot elektiska fordon sätter stor press på inte bara biltillverkare, utan på hela försörjningskedjan för elbilar. Detta innefattar litiumjonbattericeller som är det mest moderna sättet att lagra energi i elbilar. Den tekniska utvecklingen av litiumjonceller drivs i stor utsträckning av behoven från biltillverkare. Under det senaste årtiondet har det inneburit at
The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate the effect of the fire source elevation on the main fire parameters, by implementing laboratory experiments. In modern Fire Safety Engineering practice, it is often assumed that fire always commences at the floor level. However, it is not always the case. For instance, many residential fires were initiated by the ignition of ovens and stove
The purpose of this study is to examine inequalities in terms of air and water quality in a cross-national study comparing determinants at both individual and national level using a subjective measurement. This study explores how uneven development and economic inequalities within and between countries affect people’s experience of environmental problems (i.e. poor water and air quality) in their
Trä är ett av våra äldsta byggnadsmaterial. Idag återfinns trä ofta på många olika platser i en byggnad och fyller således många olika funktioner. Fuktinnehåll i trä påverkar dess mekaniska egenskaper och vid höga fuktinnehåll är sannolikheten stor att trä angrips av biologiska organismer. Det är därför viktigt att skydda trä mot fukt och även mot variationer i fuktinnehåll. Traditionellt har tryc
Det har funnits expertskatteregler i Sverige sedan 2001. Reglerna ger vissa utländska personer möjlighet till skattelättnader i syfte att göra det mer attraktivt för högkvalificerade arbetstagare att flytta till Sverige. Reglerna har sedan införandet kritiserats för att vara oförutsebara, vilket försvårar deras användning som rekryteringsverktyg. För att hantera detta problem utökades reglerna undExpert tax rules have been in place in Sweden since 2001. The rules give certain foreigners the possibility of tax relief to make it more attractive for highly skilled workers to move to Sweden. Since their introduction, the rules have been criticized for being unpredictable, making them difficult to use as a recruitment tool. To address this problem, the rules were extended in 2012, but the probl
The rule of law, as a topic of long-standing concern to the sociology of law, has been contributed to by countless scholars from theoretical and empirical perspectives. However, there is still great potential for the study of the rule of law in other countries beyond the conventional Western understanding. This is especially the case for research on the rule of law in China, a self-proclaimed soci
The development of physiologic monitors has contributed to the decline in morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing anaesthesia. Diverse factors (physiologic, technical, historical and medico-legal) create challenges for monitor alarm designers. Indeed, a growing body of literature suggests that alarms function sub-optimally in supporting the human operator. Despite existing technology that c
The ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) employs a trigger system consisting of a first-level hardware trigger (L1) and a software-based high-level trigger. The L1 muon trigger system selects muon candidates, assigns them to the correct LHC bunch crossing and classifies them into one of six transverse-momentum threshold classes. The L1 muon trigger system uses resistive-plate chambe
BACKGROUND: People with mental illness may have difficulties related to work and employment, especially if they experience additional difficult life situations. OBJECTIVE: To explore how subgroups with mental illness and additional adversities perceived their situation with respect to work and employment prospects. METHODS: Three subgroups were included, exposed to an additional difficult life sit
Laminar burning velocities of methylcyclohexane and toluene blended with ammonia have been determined using the heat flux method at atmospheric pressure and initial temperature of 338 K, over equivalence ratios ranging from 0.7 to 1.3 and ammonia blending fractions in the binary fuel mixtures from 0 to 90%. It was observed that the addition of ammonia to methylcyclohexane and toluene leads to a de
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are considered good candidates in replacing commercial petrochemical plastics in certain applications like single-use packaging since they are biodegradable, biocompatible and share similar properties with conventional plastics. PHA synthase (PhaC) is the key enzyme in PHA biosynthesis. There are four classes of PhaC, namely, class I, class II, class III and class IV,
Organiserad brottslighet och kriminella nätverk är termer som har dominerat medier på sista tiden. Det är även något som regeringen har bestämt sig för att lägga fokus på. Regeringen släppte nyligen ett nytt direktiv där de avser att se över de osjälvständiga brotten i 23 kap. BrB för att bättre bekämpa organiserad brottslighet. Den här uppsatsen ämnar göra samma sak, med fokus på brottet underlåtOrganized crime and criminal networks are terms that have been dominating Swedish media in recent times. It is also something that the government have decided to pour their attention on. Recently the government released a new directive in which they intend to revise and possible overhaul the so called “dependent crimes” in the 23rd chap. BrB to better combat organized crime. This essay aims t
Fysiskt och psykiskt våld förekommer i många hem i Sverige. Allt för många barn växer upp med att få se, höra och uppleva detta våld. Under de senaste åren har forskning tydligt visat att barn som bevittnat våld inom familjen påverkas väldigt negativt. De känner ofta en känsla av maktlöshet, övergivenhet och skam. För att stärka barnets rättsliga ställning har det tidigare införts en straffskärpnPhysical and psychological violence exist in many homes in Sweden. Far too many children have grown up with witnessing, hearing and experience the violence. In recent years research has shown that children who witness violence within the family gets profoundly affected. They often feel a sense of powerlessness, abandonment, and shame. To strengthen the legal position of the child, a basis for aggr
De bärande grundtankarna för det svenska processrättsliga förfarandet är att förhandlingen i domstol utgår från principerna om omedelbarhet, muntlighet och koncentration. Av det följer att ett mål som huvudregel ska avgöras vid en muntlig och koncentrerad förhandling och där rätten enbart på det som förekommit vid förhandlingen får grunda sin dom. Tillkomsten av principerna sträcker sig så långt bThe fundamental ideas underlying the Swedish procedural law procedure are that the hearing in court is based on the principles of immediacy, orality and concentration. It follows that a case must, as a general rule, be decided at an oral and concentrated hearing and that the court may base its judgment solely on what has occurred at the hearing. The origins of these principles go back as far as th
Wearable electronics is the technology on everybody’s lips as of 2015. Different companies release smartwatches almost once a month. One of Jayway Syd AB’s clients is the trading bank Nordnet and together they saw an opportunity with trading in combination with smartwatches. This master’s thesis describes the process in which the possibilities around smartwatches and trading were explored with the
