Around the globe more than 350,000 citizens live with a sophisticated hearing aid device called Cochlear Implant. In many countries CI is an institutionalized medical procedure for restoring deafened with a technological sense of hearing but the social challenges for users is a largely unexplored issue. Addressing this social dimension, the article explores how Cochlear Implant works as a boundary
The purpose of this study is to explore the behavior of a dense jet and bottom plume, composed of brine water of heavier effluent into a quiescent homogeneous ambient, discharged into a receiving body of lighter fresh water (tank). This situation is common in connection with freshwater production from sea water (desalination), which produces a brine waste stream, usually discharged back into sea w
Title: What is the role of pop-up stores in a multichannel environment? A study on understanding how pop-up stores affect the experience that customers receive and the relationship they share with retail brands. Supervisor: Ulf Elg Examiner: Ulf Johansson Thesis purpose: The present study aims to investigate the role of the pop-up stores of retailers on the customer experience in a multichannel
The purpose of this case study was to explain the impact of peer education to promote behavioural change in a student community. The ABC behaviours to abstain, be faithful and use condom have been central and unique behavioural approach to reduce HIV infections in the 1990s in Uganda. Behavioural and empowerment theories, including diffusion of innovations, are central for this study. Semi-struc
This essay explores the relationship between ‘history’ and ‘fiction’ in Philippa Gregory’s historical novel The Other Boleyn Girl (2001). Taking a broadly New Historicist approach to that relationship, the essay examines how the fictional aspects of Gregory’s text are handled in relation to historical ‘fact’, how Gregory’s story illustrates the ways in which an historical novel can be used to addr
The economy today is linear, which means that all products that are produced have an end of life. It is produced, used and recycled. In the future we are aiming for a circular economy where the products never become waste but instead is reused and remodelled to fill a new purpose. EU has taken on the Directive 2008/98/EC on waste which contains a waste hierarcy. The waste hierarcy aims to prevent
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka återförsäljares uppsägningsskydd och rätt till ersättning vid avtalets upphörande. För ett företag som önskar etablera sig på en ny marknad gäller det att välja rätt exploateringsmetod. Ett alternativ är då att utse en representant som säljer produkten på den nya marknaden. En lokal representant som känner till marknaden och eventuellt redan har ett etablerat försThe purpose of this essay is to examine the retailer’s dismissal protection and the right to compensation for termination of contract. For a company who wishes to establish themselves in a new market it is important to choose the right development approach. An alternative is then to appoint a representative who sells the product in the new market. A local representative who knows the market and po
Active suspensions of microswimmers such as bacteria or microalgae are found in oceans or lakes, and within living organisms, such as the human body. These suspensions can exhibit complex flow patterns and enhanced diffusion of passive tracer particles due to the advection from the long-ranged dipolar flow fields of the swimmers. The diffusion of tracers at varying radii is poorly understood but o
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur arbetet med revision av banker påverkats av finanskrisen. I denna studie har kvalitativ metod med induktiv ansats använts. Undersökningen har utförts genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Den teoretiska referensramen omfattar en genomgång av aktuell litteratur kring finanskrisen, den finansiella sektorn, revision och regleringar. För att analysera empirin har viOur purpose is to examine how the auditing of banks was affected by the financial crisis. A qualitative study was implemented with an inductive approach. Semi structured interviews were conducted. The theoretical framework includes a review of the current literature that addresses the financial crisis, the financial sector, auditing and regulation. In order to analyse the empirical data we have al
Territorial and temporal are the civil wars in Libya and Syria relatively similar, despite the similarities, the events have given different results regarding resolutions in the Security Council. My questions are: How can you find the IR theories, realism and liberalism, in the arguments surrounding Libya and Syria in the UN Security Council? Can we find arguments that are both realistic and liber
Paper 1The field of research involving the analytical modelling of the stiff ness and hygroexpansion of composite material is reviewed. This paper can be regarded as an introduction to the area of the mechanics of composite materials in general and to wood bre composites in particular. The most important models, such as the Reuss and Voigt bounds and the Halpin-Tsai, are described, along with theiPaper 1The eld of research involving the analytical modelling of the stiff ness and hygroexpansion of composite material is reviewed.

Although satellite-based sensors have made vegetation data series available for several decades, the detection of vegetation trend and change is not yet straightforward. This is partly due to the scarcity of available change detection algorithms suitable for identifying and characterizing both abrupt and non-abrupt changes, without sacrificing accuracy or computational speed. We propose a user-fri
The visual behaviour of consumers buying (or searching for) products in a supermarket was measured and used to analyse the stages of their decision process. Traditionally metrics used to trace decision-making processes are difficult to use in natural environments that often contain many options and unstructured information. Unlike previous attempts in this direction (i.e. Russo & Leclerc, 1994
This is the fourth annual report of the Swedish Butterfly Monitoring Scheme, a national monitoring programme coordinated by Lund University for the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency since 2010. The programme is a partnership between the Entomological Society of Sweden, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, Lund University, the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and the Swedis
Popular Abstract in Swedish Personer drivs inte enbart av djuriska instinkter, utan de är även språkliga och existentiellt medvetna varelser, vars upplevelser och handlingar är fyllda av subjektiv mening. Att förstå en människa som en person är att förstå honom eller henne som ett rationellt system som har viljor, rädslor, förhoppningar, trosföreställningar, och andra sätt att ge sin värld mening,Persons are not just mechanical systems of instinctual animalistic proclivities, but also language-producing, existentially aware creatures, whose experiences and actions are drenched in subjective meaning. To understand a human being as a person is to understand him or her as a rational system that wants, fears, hopes, believes, and in other ways imbues the world with meaning, rather than just a
Increased use of the Internet has created new business opportunities and market channels. The pharmacy retail sector is using e-commerce to sell pharmaceuticals. In the USA over 400 different pharmacies were selling products to their customers and offering home delivery in the year 2000. The Swedish pharmaceutical industry has seen e-commerce as a new market channel and is introducing contact cent
Based on the non-dimensional approach, this study focuses on developing a model to compute design flood for specific return periods whose parameter estimations are done using the Marquardt algorithm considering peak flood data of 100 Indian catchments. The selected flood data varies for majority of the sites for a period of 10 years, and for a few sites up to 36 years; and as a preliminary process
