Complex coacervation is a type of liquid-liquid phase separation, that occurs when oppositely charged macroions are mixed in aqueous solution under certain conditions. It has been proven to have applications within many different industries including the food and pharmaceutical industries. For example, protein/polysaccharide coacervates have been used for their emulsifying and foaming properties.
Aim: The aim of the study is to characterize the dependency of image quality on absorbed dose for two breast tomosynthesis (BT) systems, GE Senographe Pristina and Siemens Mammomat Inspiration and compare the systems. The image quality was evaluated by different parameters such as: in-plane and in-depth spatial resolution, artifact spread function (ASF) and signal-difference-to-noise ratio (SDNR).
The aim of this master thesis is to investigate how public libraries through projects work to include the target group youth/young adults. To get an understanding of this I will examine five projects towards youth/young adults at public libraries in Skåne. The theoretical framework I have used is the four-space model. The method being used is an ethnographic content analysis of documents from the
The clothing industry has a great impact on the environment, and it is a big contributor to carbon dioxide emissions. The over consumption of clothes in the world leads to lots of clothing being thrown away every year. Sharing economy initiatives have come up recently and its popularity has grown. The idea is that instead of buying everything, we can borrow, rent and exchange with one another. Thi
Sweden is exporting military products and services to Saudi Arabia. Such trade can be seen as any other business, but various moral aspects could be considered to justify or condemn military export. Inspired by content and idea analysis, an investigative scheme with nine features was constructed to display the principal question of moral bearing on military export by evaluating the debate abou
I tider av instabilitet och snabba förändringar krävs det av organisationer att snabbt kunna ställa om till nya förutsättningar för att kunna säkra sin överlevnad. Kreativitet har föreslagits vara en viktig komponent för att kunna göra detta möjligt. För att kreativitet ska kunna blomstra på arbetsplatser krävs det att vissa förutsättningar är uppfyllda. I denna studie var syftet att ta reda på omIn times of uncertainty and rapid changes it is crucial for organizations to be able to adjust to new circumstances in order to secure their survival. Creativity has been suggested as an important component in making this possible. In order for creativity to flourish in the workplace certain conditions need to be met. In this study the aim was to find out whether group personality, aggregated indi
Denna studie genomfördes i Sverige med syftet att erbjuda ett nytt perspektiv på ämnet turnover och hur olika faktorer påverkar beslutet att säga upp sig från jobbet eller stanna kvar. Med detta syfte undersökte studien de sex faktorerna lön och förmåner, miljö, karriärmöjligheter, kollegiala aspekter, meningsfullhet och balans mellan arbete och privatliv, som har ansetts vara några av de mest infThis study was conducted in Sweden with the motivation to provide a new perspective on the topic of turnover, specifically how different factors may affect turnover decision making. With this aim, the study examined the six factors salary and benefits, environment, career opportunities, collegial aspects, meaningfulness, and work/life balance, that have been regarded as some of the most influentia
The underlying reason for this essay was the current chal-lenges of acquiring and keeping competent personnel within the Swedish health care. The purpose statement was to ana-lyze how managers at a Swedish hospital work with talent management, with the focus being on the terms participat-ion, motivation and communication. This was carried out through a qualitative interview study, based on social
Glaciala sediment- och landformskonstellationer har länge använts för att rekonstruera inlandsisens dynamik och rörelser under Kvartärperioden, specifikt så för den senaste glaciationen i norra Europa och södra Skandinavien. En sådan sediment- och landformskonstellation är ’småkullig morän’, som tidigare har använts som en övergripande och beskrivande term starkt associerad med dödisutsmältning ocGlacial sediment-landform assemblages have long been used to reconstruct the dynamics of ice sheets throughout the Quaternary time period, particularly so for the period of the last glaciation in northern Europe and southern Scandinavia. One such sediment-landform assemblage is hummocky moraine, which has previously been used as an all-encompassing descriptive terminology strongly associated with
The goal of this thesis has been to investigate the possibility of multi-workload optimization in Database Management Systems and workload detection. A system was successfully constructed to allow for multi-workload testing and data aggregation. The performance gain when optimizing using this project did not seem to match the optimizing performance obtained during testing within the single-workloa
The aim of this study was to gain increased knowledge about young people's understanding and reasoning of mental illness. Eight 18-year olds in their last year of upper secondary school were interviewed individually. The interviews were transcribed and analysed using a theoretical framework composed of Goffman's performance and stigma theory, concepts of social norms and gender roles. The
I present here population trends of 52 bird species with coastal- breeding populations for the period 1990 to 2016. The trends are based on data collated from 51 surveillance programmes on breeding birds, which together covered most of the Swedish coastline. I related the trends to foraging guild, the species' distribution, and the species' climatic envelope. I also compared trends inside
This exploratory investigation examines the Argentinian social movement for abortion rights, to provide material of strategies used by a successful social movement. By conducting interviews with participants of the movement, scholars, and representatives of feminist organisations in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the research gains first-hand insight to chart the strategies that were used. Assisting the
The following study consists of a qualitative analysis based on six heterosexual girls' stories about the way out of their violent relationship. The purpose of the study was to gain an increased understanding of the six girls' leaving processes and which factors led to the final breakup. The empirical material was based on six podcast episodes where the girls talked about their experience
Bakgrund. Industrierna utsätts för allt större press att anpassa sig till de håll- barhetsregler som införs. Detta tvingar industrierna att utmana de traditionella tillverkningsprocesser och hitta sätt att göra dem mer hållbara. I de traditionella industrierna används mycket kylvätska, som har stor inverkan på både den miljön och den sociala hållbarheten. Två produktionsmetoder uppvisar betydande Background. Industries are facing increasing pressure to adapt to sustainability regulations being put in place. This forces industries to rethink traditional manufac- turing operations and find ways to make them more sustainable. In the traditional industries there are a lot of coolants being used, these have a big impact on both the environment sustainability as well as social sustainability. Tw
Creativity has been of research interest for centuries and its relationship with other constructs has been established; however, these links mostly study creativity with a single other construct. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between psychological safety, tolerance of ambiguity, playfulness and creativity; they have been individually linked together but no complex m
In 1999 the sixteen national environmental quality objectives were adopted by the Swedish parliament and in effort to achieve them the local perspective is considered essential. The environmental quality objectives should, according to the Swedish government, be a part of the municipality's overall policy on sustainable development and it is important that environmental aspects are taken into
In the Gosaba Block located at the fringe of the protected area in Sundarban Biosphere Reserve (SBR) two villages, Dulki and Dayapur, were chosen for being representative of the livelihoods and the struggles of the local population in the district. There we explored the present livelihood condition of the inhabitants in order to evaluate the future possibilities in this part of the SBR. Our resear
