The growing world electricity demand and environmental concerns pushes toward new technology for electricity production. Within the thermal processes for electricity production, two axis of research are being developed to meet the needs of the industry, namely using renewable fuels and new generation burners technology. The first direction is to develop new processes able to use renewable fuels. B
The need for quantitative evaluation of complex line emission spectra as observed in hot fusion plasmas initiated a challenging development of sophisticated interpretation tools based on integrating advanced atomic modelling with detailed treatment of the plasma environment. The successful merging of the two worlds has led to routine diagnostic procedures which have contributed enormously to the u
Abstract in UndeterminedBearing in mind the potential and importance of enzymatic processes it is somewhat surprising that we are not yet able to fully exploit the possibilities that such processes offer. The main reason is that we do not know the mechanism on the molecular scale in terms of the interaction between the enzyme and the substrate or rather the assembly of substrate molecules (see Fig
Over the last decade, a great variety of visionary ideas and beliefs have been brought forward, regarding the potentials of using computer games as a tool for learning and mediation in educational settings. This thesis aims at contributing to research in this field, by empirically exploring what happens when students play and reflect on their computer game play in science education. Three empirica
The dissertation explores the relationship between Aby Warburg’s unfinished picture atlas Mnemosyne and the visualization of Art History around 1800/1900 in an attempt to understand the historical conditions regarding the picture atlas and other visual devices constructed by Warburg and his staff at the Kulturwissenschaftlichen Bibliothek Warburg (K.B.W.) in Hamburg during the 1920s. The dissertat
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den rättighetslagstiftning som presenterades i handikapputredningens slutbetänkande (SOU 1991:46), Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade, LSS, visade att samhällets välfärd i ett etiskt perspektiv är något som angår alla. Kravet på samhällssolidaritet innebär enligt utredningen att samhällets insatser måste utformas i enlighet med kvalitetskrav som syftThe legislation on rights that was presented in the final report of the commission of inquiry into handicap (SOU 1991:46), the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments, showed that, from an ethical point of view, society´s welfare is something that concerns everyone. The demand for social solidarity, according to the inquiry, meant that public measures mus
Evolution is a fundamental and crucial part of life that hinges on two central properties: robustness and evolvability. Robustness is required to maintain essential traits despite mutations while evolvability produces novel traits that might prove beneficial in survival. While both robustness and evolvability are necessary, embracing them simultaneously seemingly leads to an inherent conflict due
Det står klart att psykiskt våld är ett utbrett problem. Likaså är mäns våld mot kvinnor ett allvarligt samhällsproblem och ett hot mot kvinnors mänskliga rättigheter. Psykiskt våld har behandlats i flertalet lagstiftningsärenden, men aldrig resulterat i en särskild kriminalisering. För att stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet avseende psykiskt våld och synliggöra allvaret med det, har prome-morian It is no doubt that psychological violence is a widespread problem. Likewise, men's violence against women is a serious societal problem and a threat to women human rights. Psychological violence has been touched upon in sev-eral legislative cases, but never resulted in a specific criminalization. To strengthen the criminal law protection regarding psychological violence and enlight the seriou
This master’s thesis aims to illuminate how the textile cultural heritage such as textiles and the documentation about textiles is currently preserved in archives. This is a field of study that is currently absent in the research of archival science and research in general. Three archives with material connected to textile cultural heritage were interviewed for this study. To answer how textile cu
Brottet olaga integritetsintrång trädde i kraft i svensk lagstiftning den 1 januari år 2018 och infördes som en del i det politiska arbetet med att modernisera den svenska straffrätten till att på ett mer tillfredsställande sätt kunna möta de utmaningar som uppstått i vårt alltmer digitaliserade samhälle. Internets framväxt har inneburit positiva såväl som negativa konsekvenser, både för individenThe crime of unlawful invasion of privacy took effect in Swedish legislation January 1st 2018 and was introduced as part of the political work to modernize Swedish criminal law to be able to meet the legal challenges in our increasingly digitized society in a more satisfactory way. The rise of the Internet has had positive as well as negative consequences, for individuals as well as for the democr
När ett barn placeras i ett familjehem, med anledning av missförhållanden i ursprungshemmet, är grundprincipen att barnet så snart det är möjligt ska återvända hem. För att omhändertagandet inte ska utgöra en kränkning av barnets rätt till familjeliv, måste myndigheterna arbeta aktivt för att få till ett återförenande. Samtidigt har det i olika rättsliga dokument och rättspraxis utvecklats en prinWhen a child is placed in foster care, the basic principle is that the child should return home as soon as possible. In order for the treatment not to constitute a violation of the child's right to family life, the authorities must work actively to reunite the family. At the same time, a principle has been developed in various legal documents and case law, whereby continuity and stability must
Power system infrastructure has been facing many challenges when it comes to harmonics distortion, and power electronic devices are no exception considering their wide usage in the system. In this thesis the focus is on the impact of these system harmonics on the electrical motors which are vastly used in industry for different applications. Motors usually come with a softstarter, and are connecte
Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes är en folksjukdom och dess förekomst ökar dramatiskt över hela världen. Typ 2 diabetes, eller åldersdiabetes, är den i särklass vanligaste varianten av diabetes. Typ 2 diabetes är starkt förknippat med övervikt och fetma vilket illustreras av att ca 90 % av alla typ 2 diabetiker är överviktiga. Typ 2 diabetes kan förhindras genom livsstilsförändringar. Många mäThere is currently a dramatic and global increase in obesity, type 2 diabetes (T2D) and associated metabolic disorders. T2D can be delayed or prevented in individuals at risk and identifying and developing new food concepts for the prevention of obesity and T2D is of utmost importance. This thesis describes our work on exploring new food concepts for the prevention of T2D. We have used 3T3-L1 adip

The aim of this bachelor thesis is to describe and analyze service meetings in high-touch businesses from the perspective of the service provider. The aspects of the service meetings to be analyzed are the service provider’s experience of the service meeting, their experience of emotional labor and their labor motivation. As a framework I rely on the theory of emotional labor of Arild Russel Hochs
This is a comparative study of legislative procedures of the United Kingdom and of Sweden. The aim of the thesis is to investigate if and how legislative procedure can affect legal material outcome. This is done through a comparative study of the implementative process of the Acquired Rights Directive, 77/187/EEC. Both transposition, the process of adopting the measures in directives into national
”Kan vi inte längre lita på dem som vi gett förtroende och makt urholkas samhällets legitimitet. Att bekämpa korruption handlar därför ytterst om att slå vakt om det demokratiska samhället.” Rättssäker myndighetsutövning, förtroendeskadligt beteende samt korruption är nyckelord i uppsatsen. Sverige bedöms i flera undersökningar som ett land utan större problem med korruption och att företeelsen “When we can no longer rely on those in whom we have placed our trust and have empowered, the legitimacy of society is undermined. Therefore, the fight against corruption is, to a high degree, a safeguard of democratic society” Authorities who follow the law in their actions and those whose behaviour damages trust are two opposite poles of great importance. In several studies, Sweden is graded a
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) often co-occur. Defining causal pathways underlying this relationship may help optimize the prevention and treatment of both diseases. Thus, we assessed the strength and magnitude of the putative causal pathways linking dysglycemia and fatty liver, using a combination of causal inference methods.Measures of glycemia, insulin dynam
Radionuklidterapi är en form av strålbehandling där sjukdom behandlas genom att ett radioaktivt ämne tillförs till kroppen. Typiskt sett består det tillförda ämnet av två sammankopplade komponenter: Dels en radionuklid (radioaktiv variant av ett viss grundämne) och dels ett läkemedel vars egenskaper gör att det tas upp i det sjuka området. Ofta tillförs det radioaktiva läkemedlet via injektion i eRadionuclide therapy (RNT) is a form of radiotherapy that uses unsealed radioactive sources for the delivery of ionising radiation within a patient's body.Radiation dosimetry is not used routinely in all centres, and the RNT field can benefit from more data on pharmacokinetics and absorbed doses (ADs).Consequently, there is a value in developing and investigating methods that facilitates the acqui
Hellre fly än illa fäkta ”Hemma är där man sist satte sig” som vårtsvinet Pumbaa i filmen Lejonkungen så vackert myntade. Men många är nog de, vilka associerar ordet flytta med ett lägenhetsbyte från en stadsdel till en annan, från större till mindre, från mindre till större. Att flytta är dock inte något som är unikt för människan, långt ifrån. Inom biologin används termen migration, ett fenomeAbstract In nature, a majority of migratory populations are composed of a mixture of both seasonal migrants and year-round residents, a phenomenon known as partial migration. It is of great importance to identify the factors causing the variation in individual decisions of whether or not to migrate. Partly for a more profound understanding of the evolution behind animal migration, and moreover th
