In this report, hybrid films of carboxymethylated cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and graphene nanosheets (GNs) have been prepared to evaluate if the GNs can enhance the barrier properties of the CNF films. CNF already possess great barrier properties at low relative humidity (RH) but it is drastically lowered when the RH reaches above 50% due to its strong hydrophilicity of CNF. This report shows tha
Mitt examensarbete är ett förslag på hur Lantmännens betongsilos i Frihamnen i Stockholm kan omvandlas till en publik märkesbyggnad i form av ett bibliotek. Frihamnen står inför en omfattande stadsutveckling, där silosarnas framtid är oviss. Likt andra silos i attraktiva lägen är risken för rivning stor, något jag tycker vore en stor förlust för såväl platsens karaktär som klimatet. Projektet unde
China has ever since the 1990s emerged as a manufacturing superpower, following its liberalized trade reforms and its entrance to the World Trade Organization. This has caused China to expand their exports substantially, in particular to the OECD countries. This has lead to an increasing debate on whether, or to what extent, increasing manufacturing exports from China to the OECD countries has con
Barnamordsbrottet ansågs under 1600-talet i Sverige vara den mest samhällsfarliga handling som kunde begås och gav lagstiftaren något vi idag skulle kalla som moralpanik. Moralen låg i att värna äktenskapet genom att fördöma de som ingick sexuella relationer innan äktenskapets ingående. Paniken kan illustreras genom att allt strängare straff och till slut oåterkalleliga straff utdömdes. Nya lagaInfanticide was considered in the 17th century in Sweden to be the most societal subversive act that could be committed and gave the legislator something we would call moral alarmism. The morality implied condemnation of those who entered a sexual relation before marriage. The alarmism is illustrated by increasingly severe punishments and ultimately irrevocable punishments were imposed upon the wo
What is the use of political fiction and its allegory in a language education context? The aim of this paper is to analyze the relevance of this literary genre to curricula, English language learning, and EFL classrooms. The specifically political content of this genre, its allusion to real-world happenings, and the linguistic aspects of the texts may be pedagogically instrumentalized and host a p
Denna studie undersöker inverkan av förvärv på nyligen börsintroducerade företags långsiktiga prestation. Studien kombinerar teorier om börsintroduktioners prestation på lång sikt respektive teorier om hur förvärv påverkar ett företags prestation. Antalet observationer i studien är 154 börsintroduktioner fördelade på de större börserna i Sverige, Norge, Danmark, Finland och Island. Studien påvisar
Den visuella smaken - reklamfotografiets roll vid kulturella omladdningsprocesser är författad av Karin Winblad vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds universitet, höstterminen 2018. Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa reklamfotografiets roll i det offentliga bildspråket vid de värdeförändringar som sker vid kulturella omladdningsprocesser med fokus på status och visuell estetik. För
Bakgrund: DT undersökningar av kolon har blivit allt mer vanligare vid diagnostisering av sjukdomar i colon. Vikten av en god förberedelse är grunden till en god undersökning samt för diagnostiseringen. Syfte: Syftet är att belysa patienters upplevelser av förberedelser i samband med DT undersökningar av kolon. Metod: En litteraturstudie har valts som metod där studien inkluderar både kvantitativa
Children and youth's right to make their voices heard, as well as the right to partake in different matters, has strengthened with laws and guidelines (Socialstyrelsen, 2003). The aim of the study is to examine the experience of employees in their work with socially vulnerable children and adolescence - with a focus point on the right to participation in different matters. The study includes q
This is a qualitative study with the objective to find an understanding for how social workers who work with people affected by honor-related violence, receive and investigate the phenomenon and to illuminate their knowledge on the subject. We collected women´s stories from a source that contains authentic anonymous narratives and prepared one “story” as a vignette. It was presented accompanied wi
It is well known how important belonging and to be part of something is for us humans and our well-being. Other utterly important foundations for us and our sense of freedom are safety and accessibility. LGBT-research has profoundly been conducted on larger cities, but lacking substratum on how mentioned factors affect people living in smaller cities. In this paper, I try through interviews unders
Far-field three dimensional x-ray diffraction (3DXRD) data acquired by repetitive acquisitions with a beam much smaller than the sample width is sometimes referred to as scanning-3DXRD. We here analyse the scanning 3DXRD approach and present a novel reconstruction technique capable of reconstructing intra-crystal variations in crystal structure from a set of recorded 2D diffraction patterns. The m
The main purpose of this master thesis was to test a novel approach of finding leads for new pharmaceuticals, by using Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (SPPS) in combination with Weak Affinity Chromatography (WAC). Put in a more concrete way, the objective was to find a lead for a better human neutrophil elastase inhibitor. The plan was to take advantage of the fact that the tripeptide Valine-Proline
Detta examensarbete behandlar frågan kring vilken påverkan som idrottsarenor har på fastighetsvärden. Studien grundas i de stora arenaprojekt som har genomförts i Sverige under de senaste åren. Bara i Stockholmsområdet har två stora idrottsarenor byggts och en stor idrottsarena rivits. Projekt som dessa är väldigt kapitalkrävande varpå det är viktigt för de inblandade i projekten att ta reda på va
Conservation Voltage Reduction, or short just CVR, is a technique in which the reference voltage at a substation is lowered a few percent in order to conserve energy and decrease peak demand in an electrical distribution grid. Thus, CVR can be used when the energy or power capacity can't be satisfied by the feeding grid. Energy capacity has been a recurring topic in Sweden for a long time with
Communication in aquatic habitats commonly occurs via chemicals released from organisms. Chemical cues are used to detect prey and predators, and hence, play an important role in predator-prey interactions. Chemical cues from predators may induce morphological and behavioural responses in prey. For example, crucian carp (Carassius carassius) has demonstrated a morphologically induced defence with
In 2018, the Swedish government decided to invest 350 million SEK in welfare technology as a response to the increasing population of the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate implementation managers’ descriptions of their work and use of welfare technology. The interviews were conducted at three long-term facilities for the elderly in the municipality of Burlöv, Helsingborg, and Hässl
