The growth of tissues and organs in plants is governed by the morphogen auxin coupled with the membrane protein PIN, which together generate patterns that guide development. Systems of this kind have been studied extensively in experiments and computational system biology models. This thesis builds on that work by introducing a stochastic version of these models to examine differences between stoc
Microfluidic applications nowadays have become of great interest due to their broad compatibility especially in biological applications, and one of them being droplet-based cell encapsulation. Cell encapsulation in droplets is carried out by discretising an aqueous phase (i.e. cell suspension) and including them into a continuous oil phase. This methodology is a potential gateway to high throughpu
Purpose: According to literature there is a set of six key competencies that distinguish sustainability professionals, including researchers, from professionals and researchers in other fields, making them “systemic problem solvers, change agents, and transition managers”. However, there is lack of empirical evidence, first, that these skills are necessary and sufficient for sustainability problem
Med en urban expansion världen över krävs det idag att biologisk mångfald räknas med vid utveckling av städer och omkringliggande ytor. I Ronneby kommun skall området Kilen omvandlas från att ha varit ett gammalt industriområde till att bli en ny stadsdel med bostäder, arbets- och handelsmöjligheter samt grönytor som kan fungera för rekreation och gynnande av biologisk mångfald. För utvecklingen a
Hur bör de senaste decenniernas utveckling inom IT och pedagogik påverka utformningen av nya lärandemiljöer? Kan skolarkitektur bidra till att främja god fysisk och psykisk hälsa? Arbetssätt och målsättningar har ändrats mycket inom den svenska skolan under de senaste decennierna. Informationsteknologi har i grunden ändrat tillgängligheten till information och påverkat hur vi både arbetar och koHow should the technological and pedagogical development during the last few decades affect the design of new schools? Can school architecture contribute to good physical and mental health in young teenagers? The way of working and targets for what the students should achieve have changed a lot in Sweden during the last few decades. Information technology has fundamentally changed the ease of ac
This thesis studies the application of Linear Predictive coding (LPC) in the downlink of Long Term Evolution (LTE) fronthaul, which comprises of BBU and RRH. This can act as an additional module in the existing system. Today, the transmission of a single complex sample from the BBU to the RRH consumes 30 bits. The research of the thesis is to analyze the application of linear prediction theory in
On the 23rd of June the British electorate chose to vote in favour of leaving the EU. The fact that one of the prominent states will leave the EU project is in itself controversial. This thesis examines the Leave campaign through a framing analysis. A qualitative method is used in order to identify the frames within publications made by the campaign, during April-June of 2016. The content of the f
The aim of this study was to examine municipalities local norms of financial support regarding housing costs, and to analyse the municipalities from a new institutional perspective, more specifically adaptation to national guidelines and their isomorphism. The study did not aim to examine or analyse individual social workers’ methods and reflections, but to analyse the municipalities local guideli
I uppsatsen undersöker jag hur begrepp och teori från visuell kultur kan användas för att analysera arkitektur och i synnerhet hem genom att utforma ett analysverktyg för bilder. Syftet är att undersöka hur föreställningar, värderingar och idéer hos betraktare kan påverkas av det som bilderna förmedlar, och vilken makt bildproducenter av bilder på arkitektur har som individer och grupper. Jag är s
This thesis has been made in collaboration with the company Orbital Systems. The aim has been to optimize their product the Orbital shower, which is a circulating shower system. The work evaluates different sensor techniques suitable for detection of contaminants in greywater. After a comprehensive literature study, three techniques; ultrasound, IR and impedance were further investigated and prac
This thesis aims to provide information regarding which critical success factors that are beneficial for small and medium enterprises when implementing Robotic Process Automation. It has been done by identifying 11 critical success factors from 14 academic research articles treating Critical Success Factor’s in Customer Relationship Management and Enterprise Resource Planner implementations.

Bakgrund: Hundar används inom många områden i hälso- och sjukvården, för att bland annat motivera, aktivera eller möjliggöra för klienten att utföra och delta i aktiviteter mer självständigt. Arbetsterapeutisk forskning har visat att utförande av aktiviteter som upplevs som meningsfulla för människan och där hon känner delaktighet i samhället har samband med både välbefinnande och bättre hälsa. Mo
Thesis Purpose: The aim of this research project was to uncover the meaning of extraordinary experiences for consumers’ identity projects and to understand how extraordinary experiences, rather than brands and possessions, can be used for self-presentation and self-extension. Methodology: Following Van Manen’s method for hermeneutic phenomenological research combined with Derrida’s notion of deco
The aim of this study was to examine students gaming habits and what function playing computer games fulfil for students. The study was conducted with the help of a survey methodology and was sent to 500 students at Lunds university. The students got selected via an unbound random selection. 52 participants answered the survey. They majority of students plays computer games. Regarding those who pl
The major problem when developing primers and probe sets for detection of HIV-1 is its high genetic variability and strong ability to mutate. HIV-1 is divided into four groups, M, N, O, P based on genetic similarities, and there are more than 70 different circulating recombinant forms. The aim of this master thesis was to develop new primers and probe for a novel quantitative PCR analysis method f
This thesis investigates methods that estimate the Expected Shortfall correctly by passing the Acerbi-Szekely (2014) backtest in both stressed and calm periods. This backtest is added to in this thesis to test against both under- and overestimation of ES. This research is relevant due to the recent shift in the Basel’s Fundamental Review of the Trading Book from using Value-at-Risk as the leading
The main challenge to future scenario construction is to help people see themselves as part of a larger system in a way that empowers them rather than reinforces the belief they are helpless. This thesis aims to overcome this challenge by investigating what can be learned from the Japanese tradition of repair called Kintsugi and the underlying Wabi-Sabi philosophy. Subsequently, the research explo
Avtalsfrihet och pacta sunt servanda är två grundläggande principer inom svensk avtalsrätt och ligger som grund för synen på avtalet. Ett avtal är en rättshandling, vilket definieras som en handling vars syfte är att ”grundlägga, förändra eller upphäva ett rättsförhållande”. Att ett rättssubjekt kan ändra sina rättsförhållande genom att företa eller mottaga rättshandlingar följer av allmänna princThe aim for this thesis is to investigate how passivity in a contractual relationship can affect the agreement between two parties. Under what circumstances can the behavior of a party change the agreed terms and how can these terms be changed if a party is passive regarding its legitimate claims. To understand this problem, one must also understand how a contract is interpreted and in what way ag
Ansvarsfrihetsbeslutet är ett obligatoriskt ärende på årsstämman i ett aktiebolag, vilket motiveras med intresset att få ett snabbt och klart avgörande i frågan om bolagsledningens skadeståndsansvar. Det finns ingen särskild bestämmelse i ak-tiebolagslagen om majoritetskrav vid detta beslut. Däremot finns en generell re-gel om att bolagsstämmans beslut utgörs av den mening som har fått mer än hälfThe discharge decision is a mandatory matter at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) of a limited liability company. It is motivated by the interest in obtaining a quick and clear decision on the issue of company management's liability for damages. There is no special provision in the Swedish Companies Act on majority requirements for this decision, although there is a general rule stating that th
Huvudregeln i förvaltningsprocessen – med undantag för skattemålen – är kvittning, det vill säga att vardera part står för sina egna rättegångskostnader. Ersättningsmodellen motiveras bland annat av myndigheternas utredningsansvar och idén om att enskildas rättegångskostnader i förvaltningsmål utgör en naturlig del av medborgarskapet. Vidare har det inte ansetts vara påkallat att införa en särskilThe general rule concerning legal costs in administrative procedure – with exception to tax cases – are set-off. Each of the litigants are responsible for their own court costs. This compensation model is motivated by the authority’s responsibility to investigate, and the idea that legal costs are a part of the citizenship. Furthermore, it has never been called for to pass a certain rule of cost i
