This master thesis project was performed in collaboration with Johnson Matthey. Johnson Matthey is a worldwide company working with sustainable technologies. The site in Perstorp, where this work was performed, focus on formaldehyde production. In order to continuously improve chemical processes, simulation and modeling are advantageous tools. They can give a better understanding of the processes
Support in an organizational context has been a topic of academic discussion for many years. While there is no doubt that organizational support has been researched thoroughly, it seems that the focus always seems to land on the employee-manager perspective. In this thesis, we aim to provide a new and intriguing perspective on support in an organizational context, by using the manager-manager and
Efter att ha sett allt fler ladugårdar som förfaller bestämde jag mig för att göra ett arbete om just denna byggnad. Jag ville undersöka vad ladugården är och hur det kan vara möjligt att bevara och ta hand om den. Genom att skaffa kunskap om ladugårdens historia ville jag få en fördjupad insikt om vad dessa byggnader egentligen har för betydelse. Med hjälp av referensprojekt och genom att gestalAfter seeing more and more barns decaying, I decided to make a project about this particular building. I wanted to investigate what the barn is and how it may be possible to preserve and take care of it in the future. By gaining knowledge about the barn’s history, I got a in - depth insight into what these buildings really mean. By looking at reference projects and by transforming a existing barn,
Föräldrabeteenden och familjefunktion är viktiga aspekter av uppväxtmiljön. Dessa kan formas av en bredd av kontextuella faktorer, däribland intra- och interpersonellt fungerande. Med en dimensionell klassificering av personlighetsfungerande undersöker denna examensuppsats ifall nivå av personlighetsdysfunktion, såväl som nivå av det patologiska personlighetsdraget Negativ Affektivitet, kan associParenting behaviours and family functioning are important aspects of family life that may be shaped by a variety of contextual factors, including self- and interpersonal functioning. Using a contemporary dimensional approach to personality pathology, this thesis investigates if the overall level of personality dysfunction, as well as the trait domain specifier of Negative Affectivity, are associat
Background: The global plant-based food shift puts high pressure on manufacturing capacity at facilities like Oatly's Landskrona site. This environment faces high combinatorial complexity due to growing product variety and sequence-dependent cleaning requirements. Relying on manual, experience-based planning to navigate these rules limits throughput and introduces organisational risk. Purpose

The transition from animal-based to plant-based proteins is rapidly increasing because of different concerns about meat consumption, some being the nutritional and environmental effects of meat consumption. During this transition, there needs to be a holistic approach to assessing plant-based food. This master thesis is focused on investigating the nutritional and environmental impact of three pla
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQL) of patients with head and neck cancer during and after treatment with radiotherapy, surgery, and chemotherapy. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective, descriptive study. METHODS: All new patients in four institutions in Norway and Sweden were asked to participate. Health-related quality of life was assessed at baseline and at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12
Variations in the POLG1 gene encoding the catalytic subunit of the mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma, have recently been associated with Parkinson's disease (PD), especially in patients diagnosed with progressive external ophthalmoplegia (PEO). However, the majority of the studies reporting this association mainly focused on the genetic identification of the variation in POLG1 in PD patient prima
This research is triggered by the emerging ‘power by the hour’® paradigm, in which aero engines are effectively leased to airlines, with the manufacturing company remaining responsible for their maintenance and repair throughout their service life. By incorporating knowledge about the performance of existing products into the design phase of new products, it is hoped to tackle some of the in-servi
The identification of carotid atheromatous plaques associated to a higher neurologic risk may be important in therapeutic decision making for asymptomatic patients and symptomatic patients with 50%-70% stenosis. The introduction of high-definition ultrasonography (HDU) and computer-assisted image analysis provides the possibility of a standard, objective and detailed characterization of the struct
The global silicon (Si) cycle plays a critical role in regulating the biological pump and the carbon cycle in the oceans. A promising tool to reconstruct past dissolved silicic acid (DSi) concentrations is the silicon isotope signature of radiolaria (δ30Sirad), siliceous zooplankton that dwells at subsurface and intermediate water depths. However, to date, only a few studies on sediment δ30Sirad r
Background No effective standard treatment exists for patients with radioiodine-refractory, advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of vandetanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of RET, VEGFR and EGFR signalling, in this setting. Methods In this randomised, double-blind, phase 2 trial, we enrolled adults (aged >= 18 years) with locally advanced or metastatic
Background: Selected patients with advanced germ cell tumors have a poor prognosis. These include patients with brain, bone or liver metastases, very elevated tumor markers or primary mediastinal tumor. High-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) with autologous stem cell support is recommended in the Swedish and Norwegian Testicular Cancer Group (SWENOTECA) guidelines in selected poor risk patients with poor r
Fungal necromass is increasingly recognized as a major component of soil organic matter, and identifying the factors that govern its formation is critical for understanding and predicting the global carbon cycle. Among these factors, the biochemical composition of mycelial residues at senescence, particularly melanin content, has been consistently identified as a key determinant of the fraction of
CVD (chemical vapor deposition) coated cutting tools typically exhibit thermal cracks caused by the mismatch in coefficients of thermal expansion (CTEs) between coating and cemented carbide. These cracks act as weak points during stainless steel machining, contributing to premature tool wear. As a strategy to suppress thermal cracks formation, we investigate replacing the conventional cemented car
