Studien fann att majoriteten av kommunerna följer RKRs rekommendation och periodiserar bidraget

This thesis describes the characterization of the rheological properties of dense suspensions of sodium caseinate and micellar casein with respect to changes in concentration (100-200g/L), pH (7.0-5.3), charge density (Δα), and temperature (5-40°C). The relationship between pH and charge density and how this relationship is affected by changes in temperature and concentration were also addressed.

The aim of this thesis is to identify the roots of the leftover women phenomenon in order to understand why it has appeared. In particular, we examine why the leftover women are having difficulties in finding a husband in the Chinese marriage market. Additionally, we establish whether the leftover women phenomenon may be a consequence of the increasing patriarchal norms in China. Through an in-dep

Idag dimensioneras konstruktioner dels för permanenta laster såsom egentyngd, dels för variabla laster i form av snölast, vindlast och nyttig last. Mot bakgrund av pågående klimatförändringar och kraftiga regnoväder på senare år, exempelvis i Malmö hösten 2014, kan även vattenlaster få en större betydelse i framtiden. I synnerhet på låglutande och flacka tak finns det risk för betydande mängder kv

Success through product differentiation A popular science article based on the Master Thesis “Development of Replenishment and Planning Strategies” by Fredrik Kapellner and Felix Kaltea, 2016. Matching supply with demand is a continuous struggle, now more than ever since customers expect deliveries within days after placing an order. In order for a company to be profitable in these demanding time

Quantitative proteomics is concerned with measuring the abundances of different proteins in biological samples. In the shotgun approach, proteins are digested by an endoprotease into several smaller peptides, which are then separated by liquid chromatography (LC) and subsequently detected and quantified by a mass spectrometer. In this work, a method for determining the relative abundances of prote

I den här studien utformades, genomfördes och utvärderades en intervention med hjälp av bild. Syftet med studien var att nå en fördjupad förståelse för hur nio kvinnliga studenter upplevde denna intervention. Utifrån den psykosocialt inriktade behandlingsmetoden TTM (Tree Theme Method) konstruerades en intervention bestående av en mindfulnessinspirerad övning, individuellt målande och samtal i gruIn this study an arts-based intervention was designed, conducted and evaluated.

The long-term objective within the wave energy industry is to deliver large-scale wave energy farms connected to large national power grids. However, this objective cannot be reached with today’s wave energy technologies at their current maturity levels. This has created a need within the industry to identify alternative development paths—in this thesis referred to as off-grid market opportunities

Background: Gesture control represents a new paradigm in Human-Computer-Interaction, with an interesting use case in hygienic hospital settings; as it would allow staff to control computers without risking cross-contamination.
