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

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

This research addresses the potential of political comedy and satire as television genres in the construction of democracy and civic culture in Colombia. Through a set of elite interviews with representative individuals in the media, political humor and media scholarship circles of the country; and through genre-based and political, economical and cultural analyses, this research underscores the r

The main purpose of the Thesis work is to conduct an assessment of both the way companies currently account for their waste costs, and of the potential relevancy of engaging in a more comprehensive cost accounting for waste in terms of achieving industrial waste minimisation and cost optimisation. In order to do so, literature about environmental and cost accounting was reviewed, an empirical stud

If as Hersch Lauterpact stated in the most overly quoted Humanitarian Lawyers phrase in Oppenheim's International Law, International Humanitarian Law lies at the vanishing point of International Law, then I would posit that it is only the continuance of education particularly education in LOAC that prevents it from vanishing altogether. The preservation of the buildings housing that education

Liksom en trädstam uppvisar årsringar som kan användas för att beräkna dess ålder, bildas också tillväxtringar i tänderna hos många djur, även hos dem som regelbundet byter tanduppsättning. Detta fenomen noterades av paleontologen Richard Owen redan i mitten av 1800-talet, men det är först de senaste decennierna som forskningen inom tandersättningscykler hos utdöda djur har tagit fart. Så kalladeThe dentine of teeth from five genera of mosasaurs [i.e., Clidastes, Halisaurus, Dollosaurus (Prognathodon),cf. Platecarpus, and Tylosaurus] and a Mesozoic crocodylian (Aigialosuchus) from the Campanian of the Kristianstad Basin, southernmost Sweden, displays two types of incremental growth lines; i.e., von Ebner’s and, for the first time in extinct animals, Andresen’s lines. These lines are homol

The aim of this thesis work was to investigate and evaluate new possible industrial applications for large welded plate heat exchangers, with heat transfer areas of at least 500 m2. The research has been carried out through thermal design of heat exchangers for a total of nine cases. The nine cases are real-life applications for processes covering the petrochemical, oil & gas, power, and refin

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

This thesis will examine the plausibility of exchanging protocol from a normal server-client to a peer-to-peer solution for over-the-air updates, using a single case study for Sony Mobile Communications AB in Lund, Sweden. It will examine the effort, the risks, and what the actual gain may be comparing to a client-server approach for over-the-air software updates. Sony Mobile today uses a content

This thesis is a descriptive case study of the institutional measures to improve women’s representation in Chile between 2015 and 2022. Women in Chile have historically been underrepresented because of two institutions introduced by former dictator Pinochet: the 1980 constitution and the binomial electoral system. In 2015, Chile reformed its electoral system to replace the binomial system with a

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

The world continues to boil due to capital’s incapacity to resolve its climatic contradictions. Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), a technological process theorised to instantly reduce global temperatures, has piqued the interest of a now desperate ruling class. Given its worldwide impacts, enormous risks, and capitalist- imperialist reproductive capacities, it is crucial to engage with SAI wh

Development of a new spatially complete and daily continuous lake surface water temperature dataset for Lake Vänern, Sweden Keywords: Physical Geography, Ecosystem Analysis, Remote Sensing, Data Fusion, Reanalysis Product, Lake Surface Water Temperature, Hydrology Lake Surface Water Temperature (LSWT) is an important indicator to monitor changes due to climate change on a regional scale. Changes

Like other African countries, Kenya’ economy and food security is heavily dependent on agriculture. Climate change has led to variability in temperature and precipitation, and extreme weather events such as droughts and floods, all of which can significantly impact crop productivity and food security in the long-term. Furthermore, water scarcity poses a critical challenge for Kenya, particularly i

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

The aim of this essay is to investigate English language textbooks and the way they adhere to the curriculum and syllabi for English language teaching in Sweden. It will also look at what language ideological elements that these textbooks represent. The background section reviews language ideology in general, while also attempting to present the language ideological attitudes that are currently do
