This paper presents a picoliter sample preparation technique utilizing the flow-through principle, allowing on-line coupling of chromatographic systems to be made. The work was performed in order to investigate the characteristics and the physicochemical properties of the sample preparation using typical mobile phase conditions from μ-CLC (column liquid chromatography) separations. The device pres

A design study of a horizontal neutron reflectometer adapted to the general baseline of the long pulse European Spallation Source (ESS) is presented. The instrument layout comprises advanced solutions for the neutron guide, high-resolution pulse shaping and beam bending onto a sample surface being thoroughly adjusted to the properties of the ESS. The length of this instrument is roughly 55 m, enab

Context: Scope management is a core part of software release management and often a key factor in releasing successful software products to the market. In a market-driven case, when only a few requirements are known a priori, the risk of overscoping may increase. Objective: This paper reports on findings from a case study aimed at understanding overscoping in large-scale, market-driven software dev

Jag har i detta arbete tagit fram en metod för att mäta mängden fett i muskelceller som vare sig kräver vävnadsprover eller nålstick. Metoden ger också en bild av fettfördelningen i vävnaden. Detta kan vara mycket användbart vid utveckling av läkemedel, men också vid diabetes- och fetmaforskning. Muskelceller innehåller ett bränsleförråd i form av en droppe fett. För diabetespatienter och som en b"Introduction Cardiac steatosis, or overstorage of fat in the cardiac muscle cells, is a possible side effect from drugs treating diabetes mellitus. Therefore, a non-invasive means of fat quantification is needed during drug development. The aim of this master thesis is to develop a method to quantify the fraction intra-myocellular fat in the cardiac muscle of rats using magnetic resonance im

Inom det som kallas projektfinansiering tillhandahåller långivare finansiering för utvecklingen av ett enskilt projekt. Ofta är sådan projektfinansiering kopplad till offentliga projekt. I Sverige har finansieringsmetoden projektfinansiering till exempel använts för att finansiera Arlandabanan. Själva idén med projektfinansiering är att det kassaflöde som projektet genererar ska användas och räckaUnder project finance lenders provide finance for the development of a single project. The method of project finance is often connected to major public initiatives. In Sweden project finance has for example been used to finance Arlandabanan. The point of using project finance is for the revenues generated by the finished project to serve as a monetary resource for the repayment of the loan. Thus,

Jag kommer med denna uppsats behandla den juridiska konflikten vid distansförsäljning av alkohol i Sverige med koncentration på det rättsfall vars utgång kan komma att förändra Sveriges alkoholpolitik ännu en gång. Sedan Sverige trädde in i EU har de kvoter på den mängd alkohol som får föras in vid så kallad resandeinförsel höjts. Idag finns inga egentliga kvoter utan mängden bestäms utifrån begre

Koppar-guld fyndigheten Nautanen är belägen 75 km norr om polcirkeln, och 10 km nordost om Gällivare i norra Sverige. Fyndigheten ligger endast 8 km från den stora apatit-järnmalmen i Malmberget och 15 km norr om en av Europas största kopparproducenter, porfyrkoppar-(guld)malmen Aitik. Nautanen beskrivs som en järnoxid-koppar-guld (IOCG) fyndighet eller en hybrid IOCG med en kärna av höghaltiga reThe Nautanen Cu-Au deposit is located 75 km north of the Arctic circle, and 10 km northeast of the town of Gällivare in northern Sweden. Nautanen is just 8 km west of the giant Malmberget apatite-iron ore deposit and 15 km north of one of Europe’s largest copper producers, the Aitik Cu (Au) porphyry deposit. Nautanen is described as an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit or hybrid IOCG and conta

Ett bolags ränteutgifter är skatterättsligt avdragsgilla kostnader. Detta innebär att ränteutgifter minskar det beskattningsbara resultatet och det blir således skattemässigt fördelaktigt för bolag att låna, så till den grad att större internationella koncerner ofta etablerar skuldförhållanden i syfte att minska sin skattebörda. Genom att upprätta ändamålsenliga bolagsstrukturer kan internationellA company's interest expenses are fully deductible under the Swedish tax law. This means that interest expenses reduce the taxable business income and will thus be fiscally beneficial for companies with loan financing, so much so that major international companies often establish liability conditions in order to reduce their tax burden. By establishing certain corporate structures internationa

This study aims to investigate the possibility of creating template times for rail works. Furthermore the study identifies a few effects which template times could have on planning of rail works, traffic and economy. Template times are being considered by the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, for the early stages of planning when there is a need to estimate the time required within t

The small protein α-synuclein is strongly associated with Parkinson’s disease. This protein is found in inclusion bodies, named lewy bodies inside neurons of people suffering from the disease. α-synuclein is very abundant in the human brain, and its normal function is still elusive and unclear. The factors that trigger the accumulation and fibrillation of this protein into pathogenic inclusion bod

In the previous decades, mm-Wave frequency bands have largely been ignored for cellular communication because of the high free space attenuation as well as the cost and complexity of mm-Wave RF circuits. However, with the improvement of RF and antenna technologies over the last decade, it has become feasible to con- sider mm-Wave bands for cellular communications. With the large bandwidths availab

This conceptual thesis analyses Carlota Pérez vision of a ‘Green Global Golden Age’ that is supposed to reconcile the tension between economic growth and sustainability (Pérez, 2016b). Aiming to address the pressing issue of continued unsustainability, Pérez’ proposed solution is based on the assumption that technological innovation in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

Background: Induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest is neuroprotective in several animal models of cardiac arrest, but few high-quality studies have been conducted in larger animals. Recent clinical trials have questioned the beneficial effects of post-ischemic hypothermia. This study investigated whether immediate cooling or a 2-h delay in cooling to 33 °C after cardiac arrest was neuroprotectiv

ObjectivesThe objective was to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) model for predicting acute coronary occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) in patients with chest pain at the emergency department (ED), using information that is widely available early in the ED assessment.MethodsIn a cohort of 24,511 consecutive adult ED patients with chest pain from 5 Swedish hospitals, OMI cases were identif

Miljöförstöringar har identifierats av Förenta nationerna (FN) som ett bety-dande hot mot internationell fred och säkerhet, vilket innefattar risker för både mänskligheten och miljön. I denna uppsats utforskas begreppet ekocid, all-mänt förstått som massförstörelse och skadegörelse av ekosystem, allvarlig skada på naturen som är utbredd eller långvarig, och dess potentiella inklude-ring som ett inEnvironmental degradation is identified by the United Nations as a significant threat to international peace and security and poses profound risks to both humanity and the environment, encompassing every aspect of our existence. This thesis explores the concept of ecocide, broadly understood as mass dam-age and destruction of ecosystems, severe harm to nature which is widespread or long-term, and

In the northwest of Skåne, a peninsula stretches out and tapers off out into the ocean. This is Kullahalvön, a stronghold of contrasts that swings between the dramatic and romantic. Its edge rises from the sea like armor: shaped by weather and protective of all the landscape that rests behind it. Forests, meadows,fields and beaches overlap between the old fishing villages that have grown into town

The emergence of artificial intelligence, especially machine-learning methods, challenges the set of legal guarantees put in place in Europe to combat discrimination and ensure equal treatment. This paper will focus on cases of algorithmic discrimination in the context of recruitment as a business practice. Particular in the field of recruitment of workers, which has always been a field where EU n
