Akustophores är rörelse av partiklar/celler under inverkan av ljud. Partikel- och cell separation är en applikation som kan utföras av akustophores. Detta är en viktig teknik eftersom den kan avslöja viktig information om sjukdomar och celler och därigenom förbättra valet av behandling inom sjukvården. Genom att utnyttja ljud, så kan celler och partiklar i en lösning separeras efter deras specifikAcoustophoresis is the migration of particles/cells under the influence of sound. Particle and cell separation is an application that can be performed by acoustophoresis. This is an important technique since it can reveal important information about diseases and cells and thereby possibly improve the choice of treatment in healthcare. By utilizing sound, cells and particles in a suspension can be

In this thesis, I present a study of the conditions for a respondent state to introduce counterclaims in the same arbitration as an investor’s initial claim in a dispute arising from a Bilateral Investment Agreement (BIT). The study shows that although the most widely used procedural frameworks for arbitration explicitly allow for counterclaims, tribunals have adopted a restrictive approach to cou

Encapsulation systems have long been studied, and the designs have varied in both capsule material as well as the type of cargo. The intended use have ranged from nanoreactors to delivery systems. This work presents an encapsulation system consisting of protein capsule and a protein cargo. The capsule is a redesigned hepatitis B virus capsid protein, in which the luminal extension has been altered

Swedish fire and rescue services are in a transformation that shifts towards an increased focus on preventive actions as well as more strategic oriented activities within the organizations. To support and develop such types of activities, Geographical Information System (GIS) could be an effective tool to manage and analyze geographic data. This thesis aims to examine the prerequisites for develop

Title (in English): Retail and Consumer Perceptions on Paper Packaging for Flour in Indonesia –with Insights on Perceptions of Environmental Sustainability Title (in Swedish): Handelns och konsumenternas uppfattningar om pappersförpackningar för mjöl i Indonesien - med insikter om hur de uppfattar miljömässig hållbarhet Author: Anindyaningrum Chrisant Rystiasih Divison: Packaging Logistics

Today there are still single family houses with direct electric heating systems, even though this is an expensive and inefficient way of heating a house. It is common to install an air-to-air heat pump that requires less electricity to produce the same amount of heat as a direct electricity heating system. These heat pumps do not produce any energy for domestic hot water since the water is heated

This thesis is about the legal protection of the Intellectual Property (IP) of the design of the graphical user interface (GUI) for computer programs aka software. The research into this matter of law was done by finding out and analysing how this protection is provided through international treaties, statutory law and case law. It concludes that there is a certain amount of legal uncertainty with

Restored salt marsh; topography, hydrology and vegetation Coastal salt marshes are shaped through a combination of physical (i.e., sediment accumulation/erosion) and biological (i.e., vegetation) processes. They are characterized by fine sediments and halophytic vegetation. The accretion rate and elevation change has been indicated as one of the most important factors in ecology of the marshes. T

The purpose of this thesis is to develop a theoretical framework that enables a company to design an appropriate channel strategy, to handle communication between the company and its end customers. Methodology: The approach for this master thesis can be described as a combination of an exploratory and problem solving study. It started with a literature study, and the knowledge and inspiration led

Problem: Vilka är de drivande faktorerna till köbildning på klinikens avdelningar samt hur kan ökad kunskap om dessa faktorer på sikt skapa möjligheter för en effektivare kapacitetsplanering och en förbättrad servicenivå mot klinikens kunder? Syfte: Förbättra kapacitetsplaneringen för att på så sätt frigöra resurser och minska väntetiderna. Ta reda på vilka data som krävs för att på ett smidigt mProblem: Which are the driving factors creating queues at the different sections at the Department of Orthopedics and is it possible to use enhanced knowledge of these factors to create competitive advantage when conducting capacity planning? Will this also lead to an increased service level towards the patients? Purpose: Improve the capacity planning in order to free resources and reduce waiting

Nutrient recovered faecal sludge is a novel alternative fertilizer product, and is proposed to be promoted in places where improvement in sanitation management is needed, for example in Uganda’s capital Kampala. However, Uganda and most of Africa is perceived as a faecofobic area, i.e. where faeces are stigmatized and guarded by taboos, and there is lacking information regarding Ugandan farmers’ p

Sierra Leone struggles with one of the world’s highest rates of teenage pregnancy. Reducing the rate of teenage pregnancy and ensuring access to education for all are key to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls. This is not only a top priority for the government but also an essential part of ensuring the human rights of the population and achieving inclusive development, as rec

Seasonal hydrological forecasts of future streamflow volumes can provide water resources managers with valuable information to improve long-term water resources planning and water use efficiency. The latest generation of coupled ocean-atmosphere general circulation models provides an opportunity for the prediction of hydroclimatic variables (e.g. precipitation, streamflow; soil moisture) at long l

Background: Climate change is becoming a more urgent issue, where global agreements and regulations are putting pressure on companies to calculate and disclose their greenhouse gas emissions to combat the problem. Other driving forces of carbon disclosure for companies include social, economic, and financial pressure, as well as firm specific internal factors. Carbon calculations within companies

Purpose - A general purpose of this thesis can be defined as to examine and evaluate the possibilities to solve the problem with fluctuating demand on spare parts from the local sales subsidiaries in the three big markets in Europe. A secondary, more specific, purpose of this thesis is to investigate what the possibilities are to implement direct distribution of spare parts to these countri

Parental leave policies for fathers are introduced to promote father’s caregiving and gender equality in childcare. Even though the majority of father-friendly policy reforms were led by social democratic parties, a few conservative catch-all parties also proposed policies to promote father’s caregiving. How did conservative catch-all parties frame father’s caregiving when they propose policy refo

We study a simple extension of the Standard Model featuring a dark sector with an ultralight pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson as a dark matter candidate. We focus on the mass range O(10-20-10-10) eV, relevant for strong gravity applications, and explore its production and evolution in the early Universe. The model is formulated in such a way that dark matter does not couple directly to photons or othe
