What you see is the result of everything you cannot see As a designer you are expected to design objects. But why do we design these objects and what value do the objects have to their owners and other viewers? Why do humans need to possess objects at all, and how are the objects chosen? Starting this project with poaching in Africa ending up with a 110 kg’s cabinet made out of concrete and ste
Nitrification-denitrification process, which is the most commonly used method for nitrogen removal from wastewaters, is energy demanding and contributes very much to the the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment. One of the alternative methods for nitrogen removal is the nitritation-anammox process. Nitritation-anammox has been implemented successfully in sludge liquor streams and industrial wa
The aim of this paper was to examine how social workers in the field of substance abuse describe their backstage coping strategies and how these are used to cope with the stress they experience in their every day work. The paper has drawn its empirical material from four semi-structured interviews with social workers that work in an institution for care under the Care of Abusers Act (Swedish). Erv
Enaxligt kompressionstest för undersökning av kemisk-mekanisk växelverkan i biologiska material Mjuka biologiska vävnader är material som består av flera olika beståndsdelar. Hur en vävnad deformeras under mekanisk belastning beror inte bara på de individuella beståndsdelarnas egenskaper, utan även på interaktioner mellan beståndsdelarna. För att undersöka dessa effekter krävs specifika numeriskaSoft biological tissues and engineered hydrogels for biomedical applications are intrinsically multiphasic materials, consisting of solid, fluid and possibly fixed and mobile ions. Understanding their mechanical behaviour requires experimental methods and theoretical models that take their multiphasic nature into account and allow for quantification of material parameters related to the different
Thermographic phosphors can be robust temperature remote sensors. The accuracy of the temperature measured by the phosphor is highly dependent on the quality of the phosphor calibration used. Conventionally, thermographic phosphors are calibrated by measuring a series of decay curves at known stable oven temperatures. The process is then repeated covering the thermal sensitivity range of the phosp
Popular Abstract in Swedish Polyaminer finns i alla levande celler, såväl i bakterier som i växter, djur och människor, och utgör en mycket viktig beståndsdel i dessa. Utan dessa polyaminer kan inte cellerna växa och dela sig. Polyaminerna putrescin, spermidin och spermin bildas i cellen från aminosyran ornitin. Till sin hjälp för denna bildning har cellerna ett enzym vid namn ornitindekarboxylas The polyamines putrescine, spermidine and spermine have been shown to be involved in cell growth and differentiation, and are considered to be crucial components of the living cell. The synthesis of polyamines in the cell is strictly regulated. The first and rate-limiting step in the biosynthesis of polyamines is catalysed by the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC). Mammalian ODC has a very fast
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det har diskuterats huruvida mäns spermiekoncentration minskat och missbildningar i pojkars könsorgan ökat under den senare delen av 1900-talet. Med säkerhet har dock testikelcancer ökat flerfaldigt under samma tidsperiod. Målet med denna avhandling var dels att undersöka huruvida skånska mäns spermakvalitet hade förändrats under det förra årtiondet, dels att studera saA decrease in male reproductive function, including sperm counts, during the second half of the 20th century, has been postulated. During this period, testicular cancer has increased several-fold. Environmental and lifestyle-related factors have been proposed as explanations for a possible negative trend in male reproductive function. One important lifestyle factor is smoking. However, smoking dur
We present the Pad Chamber detector system in the PHENIX experiment at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The three station system provides space points along each track in the spectrometer arms at mid-rapidity and covers a total area of 88 m(2). Its main functions are to provide the track coordinate along the beam and to ensure reliable pattern recogniti
Aim: To investigate the effect of general anaesthesia on the TCI-dosage, the depth of anaesthesia and the need for hemodynamic treatment. A comparison between general anaesthesia (GA) alone and general anaesthesia combined with epidural anaesthesia (GA+EDA). Background: There are some uncertainties in the literature whether epidural anaesthesia has any effect on general anaesthesia governed by Ta
This thesis consists of a pilot study on air emission management from six of Tetra Pak’s converting factories with the aim of mapping current air emissions of VOC, air purification equipment, and legal requirements. A description of the impacts of certain VOCs on the environment is also included. Tetra Pak’s 36 converting factories scattered all over the world produces 167 billion beverage and foo
The Human Rights-Based Approach is an approach on development programming designed by the UN. It brings together all human rights principles recognized in our modern history eventuating in a normative framework. This framework is huge, containing complex concepts that each can be read in multiple ways. The result from this is a mess – talking a lot without saying much. Somewhere among all the fanc
Abstract Authors: Madelene Samuelsson and Linnéa Jönsson Title: The secret of social services: Sweden’s most attractive employer – a qualitative study about motivation and job satisfaction in social services Supervisor: Claes Levin Assessor: Kristina Göransson The aim of this qualitative study was to examine what factors that affect Swedish social workers motivation and job satisfaction, and whic
3D-modelling in AutoCAD This thesis is done in cooperation with LB-Hus in Bromölla, and have aimed to establish a digital AutoCAD model of one of the company’s house types and to find out what opportunities there are to do visualisations in the form of images directly from the programme. Modeling has been carried out so that the very construction of the house is included. Interiors and installatio
This master thesis analyzes the accounting and auditing reforms in the Post-Soviet world. It is the very interesting issue, because comparing with the rest of Europe and Asia the former soviet countries have extra challenges in this process. They are not only trying to adopt international accounting and auditing standards, but also move away from command economy which is not an easy task. The regu
Background and aim: The popularity of remote and blended teachings in physiotherapy higher education is increasing. Initial evidence suggests that these methods are as effective as face-to-face teaching for theoretical and practical skill learning in physiotherapy; however, further research is required. Methods: This was a retrospective comparative study. Three groups of physiotherapy students und
Background: Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) is an effective and accessible treatment for mild to moderate depression and anxiety disorders. However, up to 50% of patients do not achieve sufficient symptom relief. Identifying patient characteristics predictive of higher post-treatment symptom severity is crucial for devising personalized interventions to avoid treatment fail
Traditionally, the majority of Swedish public libraries have carried out most of their acquisitions through Bibliotekstjänst's binding booklets. In recent years, however, many libraries have complemented the binding booklets and other services from Bibliotekstjänst by other ways of acquiring books, such as Internet bookshops, while other libraries have stopped using the binding booklets altoge
