Within the first decade of this millennium several Western European countries have prohibited Muslim veils in public spaces. Excluding the culture of Muslims or more specifically Islamic beliefs in a multicultural society, in which the hardest hit are Muslim veiled women, has resulted in the discourse of the ‘rise and fall of multiculturalism’. Although Sweden has not prohibited hijab or any other
Currently well established technology-based manufacturing companies with a service business provides their markets with innovative and reliable products. Despite this, these companies often find their service delivery process to be inefficient, due to its time-based nature. Furthermore, the markets on which they operate are currently experiencing a shortage of qualified service personnel and thus
An increase in demand for fresh vegetables resulted in an increased production of minimally processed, ready-to-eat salad in Sweden. That also brought new food safety challenges that are yet to be addressed. To assess whether ready-to-eat leafy green vegetables present a threat in terms food borne outbreaks, aerobic bacteria, as well as bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family were rec
Paul the Apostle was a very diligent man in many things. Both before his conversion and afterwards he did not cease to work towards his goals; before the conversion eagerly tracking the people believing in Jesus and after his conversion travelling as a missionary, founding churches, writing letters, pursuing his primary target spreading the Gospel. At the same time, he also upheld a regular job. H
Nearly one third of the global food is wasted. Microbial spoilage is a major factor in food waste, and it can happen at any point along the supply chain. Greenhouse grown English long cucumbers, one of the most important vegetable crops grown in Europe, were studied for weight changes and the presence of microbiological populations during the shelf life in this project. The main methods used in th
This project tested the potential of plant based milk powders to function as an animal-based milk powder by testing them on multiple characteristics. The powders were produced using spray drying techniques, obtained using formulations differentiating in protein amount, ratio of maltodextrin:sucrose and two different protein sources. The different ratios were 100% sucrose; 100% maltodextrin; 50% ma
To find the optimal by-pass road alignment in the Tlokweng Planning Area in Botswana, a multi-criteria spatial-based model is developed using the GIS-MCE approach. In respect to the environmental impact assessment (EIA) approach, in this research a set of criteria is classified under 3 themes – economic, environmental and social. To determine the criterion and theme weights and perform their aggre
The use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has a great potential in the pharmaceutical field due to its many advantages such as biocompatibility, low toxicity and biodegradability. Studies have also shown that proteins can be successfully incorporated into DESs. However, protein stability and structure in these solvents need to be investigated for this technology to be applicable. When adding the pr
Denna uppsats har undersökt rättssäkerhetsaspekterna vid separation av barn och unga i Statens institutionsstyrelses (SiS) särskilda ungdomshem, med särskilt fokus på personalens utbildningsnivå samt tillsynens effektivitet. Genom en rättsdogmatisk analys har det konstaterats att separation utgör en ingripande tvångsåtgärd med betydande konsekvenser för den unges fri- och rättigheter. Trots att lThis paper has examined the legal certainty aspects of the separation of children and young people in SiS special youth homes, with a particular focus on the level of education of the staff and the effectiveness of supervision. Through a legal dogmatic analysis, it has been established that separation constitutes an intrusive coercive measure that has significant consequences for the young person&
Electrification of the automotive industry calls for high performing electric engines. Since the use of iron from primary sources in the production of engine cores has a high environmental impact, it would be beneficial if they could be made mostly from recycled materials. Soft magnetic composites used as cores in electric engines have lower mechanical strength compared to the alternatives. This i
Background Rare cancers are a challenge to clinical practice, and treatment experience, even in major cancer centres to which rare cancers are usually referred, is often limited. We aimed to study the epidemiology of rare cancers in a large population of several countries. Methods We analysed survival by age, sex, subsite, and morphology in 57 144 adults with 14 selected rare cancers diagnosed 198
Abstract in Undetermined Background: The performance of glaucoma diagnostic systems could be conceivably improved by the integration of functional and structural test measurements that provide relevant and complementary information for reaching a diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of data fusion methods and techniques for simple combination of Standard Automate
OBJECTIVE- Some individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) exhibit a 1-h excursion of plasma glucose during oral glucose tolerance testing as high as that of individuals with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). The aim of this study was to characterize their metabolic phenotype. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS- A total of 1,205 healthy volunteers (aged 29-61 years) underwent assessment of 1) oral g
With the exponential growth of the World Wide Web, automated subject classification has become a major research issue. Organizing web pages into a hierarchical structure for subject browsing has been gaining more recognition as an important tool in information-seeking processes.The most frequent approach to automated classification is machine learning. It, however, requires training documents and
Background: To assess balance in single-limb stance, center of pressure movements can be registered by stabilometry with force platforms. This can be used for evaluation of injuries to the lower extremities. It is important to ensure that the assessment tools we use in the clinical setting and in research have minimal measurement error. Previous studies have shown that the ability to maintain stan
Background: The Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) activated Extracellular-signal Regulated Kinase (ERK) pathway is a critical cell signalling pathway that relays the signal for a cell to proliferate from the plasma membrane to the nucleus. Deregulation of the EGFR/ERK pathway due to alterations affecting the expression or function of a number of pathway components has long been associated wi
Wireless adhoc networks transmit information from a source to a destination via multiple hops in order to save energy and, thus, increase the lifetime of battery-operated nodes. The energy savings can be especially significant in cooperative transmission schemes, where several nodes cooperate during one hop to forward the information to the next node along a route to the destination. Finding the b
