Introducing an N-sulfonylamidine substituent in galactose increased the selectivity for galectin-9N, a protein involved in functions of the immune system, and is believed to have roles in autoimmune diseases and cancer. In this work, a fast method for regioselective monoalkylation of galactose by microwave irradiation was developed, and eight potential galectin-9N inhibitors were synthesized. Mole

The European Spallation Source will be a world leading neutron source available for a range of neutron scattering experiments in the scientific community. In order to accurately simulate the production of cold and thermal neutrons, an accurate calculation of the neutron cross section for the moderator materials is needed. The neutron cross sections used in the current simulation models for the liq

The motivation behind the project was to examine if and how the product attachment value could be prolonged through the form and features of the product. Existing research and literature was used to form an understanding on how we value our belongings, from this four general determinants where clear: pleasure, self-expression, group affiliation and memory. They, together with the study of ordinar

Construction is one of the most dangerous industries in the United States. Job sites are controlled by the General Contractor who may perform their own work and will have Subcontractors perform other scopes of work. Work is performed by a mix of union and non-union workers. Frontline workers are often “held accountable” and blamed for mishaps that happen on a job site which often leads to discipli

Bergslagens malmprovins är känd för att innehålla stora Zn-Pb-Ag- och Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag-sulfidförekomster med tillhörande järnoxidskarn och många studier har fokuserat på att förstå dessa förekomster. Cu-Co-förekomster som Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten har emellertid fått mindre uppmärksamhet. Vena-Dampetorp-förekomsten är en disseminerad och åderstödd Cu-Co-mineralisering som förekommer i en 1,89 Ga ryoliThe Bergslagen Province is known for containing major Zn-Pb-Ag and Zn-Pb-Cu-Ag sulphide mineralizations with associated iron-oxide skarns and a lot of research have focused on understanding them. However, Cu-Co deposits like the Vena-Dampetorp deposit have received less attention. The Vena-Dampetorp deposit is a disseminated and vein Cu-Co mineralization hosted primarily in a 1.89 Ga rhyolitic to

Landskapsparken utforskar möjligheten för ett mer tillgängligt jordbrukslandskap i Dagstorps backar i Skåne. Genom att undersöka historiska lager, gränser och minnen i landskapet har en gestaltningsstrategi för en framtida park vuxit fram. Centralt för projektet är tanken om promenaden som ett pedagogiskt verktyg, där besökarens rörelse genom landskapsrummen ger nya insikter och djupare förståelse

MRT är en icke-invasiv undersökningsmetod men kan förknippas med oro och ångest hos patienterna. Oro och ångest kan leda till längre undersökningstider, avbrutna undersökningar och rörelseartefakter. Röntgensjuksköterskans roll är att utifrån ett personcentrerad förhållningssätt kunna erbjuda individualiserad omvårdnad för att lindra oro och skapa delaktighet för patienterna. Syfte: beskriva hur r

This thesis highlights how art with minimal forms of expression communicate allegorical by discussing specific aspects in the interpretation of Maria Lindbergs artwork Att Ha. This is done through a semiotic analysis complemented by a theoretical framework consisting of mainly allegorical theories. The purpose of this study is to understand the varying messages that are being produced by stressing

In this master thesis, the possibilities and limitations of using handheld aug- mented reality (AR) as a complement to a regular human machine interface (HMI) are explored. This was done by developing a mobile application for An- droid and connecting it to a real machine, making it possible to perform actions on the machine through the AR application. A user study with 20 test subjects was conduct

Platser har en förmåga att beröra oss människor. Vi rör oss dagligen mellan olika platser som skapar olika stora intryck hos oss. Intryck som ofta beror av platsens olika karaktärsdrag. I detta examensarbete försöker jag förstå mig på hur en plats fysiska karaktär kan bidra till den mänskliga upplevelsen av platsen. Syftet är att skapa ett underlag som man i en förlängning skulle kunna använda sig

The aim of this study was to find out secondary school pupils own opinions of cannabis in a development of legalization and liberalization of it in the U.S., nearly in California, Colorado, Washington and Columbia. What’s the opinion of cannabis if you ask young Swedish secondary school pupils? What’s their attitudes? What do they think of the development to a legalization and decriminalization of

När arbetsbrist har uppstått har även frågan kring hur reglerna ska tolkas även uppstått. Detta har inte alltid varit tydligt i lagtext utan mycket av detta har Arbetsdomstolen fått tolka och det har gett prejudikat att följa. Där har reglerna kring 7 §och 22 § LAS utretts i domstolen och kring det har frågeställningar samt kritik uppkommit. Domstolen har fastslagit att 7 § LAS alltid ska utredas When a labor shortage occurs, the question of how the rules about labor should be interpreted has also arisen. The rules have not always been clear in the Swedish law but much of this has been interpreted by the Labor Court and it has given precedent to follow. There, the rules regarding 7 § and 22 § LAS have been investigated in the Labor Court and around it both questions and criticism have come

Arduino är en hårdvaru- och mjukvarusvit designad för Atmels ATmega familj av mikrokontroller. I detta projekt har Arduinosviten anpassats för ATmega32M1 med avsikt att nyttja den inbyggda trefasmotor-kontrollern och CAN bus kommunikationen. Målet är att göra det lättare att utvekla prototyper till elektriska fordon eller andra applikationer. Det finns ett antal mindre skillnader mellan ATmega32M1Arduino is a suite of software and hardware designed for the Atmel ATmega family of microcontrollers. In this project the Arduino suite has been adapted for the ATmega32M1 with the intent of utilising the built-in three phase motor controller and CAN bus interface, making it easier to quickly prototype electric vehicles or other new applications. There are a number of subtle differences between th

Computed Tomography (CT) is the most common diagnostic method for cancer and prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in Sweden. Some of the patients that get scanned have hip replacements that cause artifacts in CT scans that make the CT images unreadable for physicians. In this Master’s Thesis an autoencoder model was implemented to reduce artifacts due to hip replacements in CT image

Back in the mid 1900s, Zimbabwe was one of the most developed states in Africa with well-established infrastructure and a flourish economy thanks to inter alia agricultural exports and industries, among other things. A survey has been performed in order to evaluate the socio-economic conditions in Zimbabwe. This paper uses the fore mentioned study to investigate the challenges and problems that ca

Delivery lead time (DLT) is seen as one of the most important service factors affecting the consumers willingness to fulfill a purchase within online retailing (Esperet al., 2003). The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the effect variations in the offered DLT have on customer conversion rate within e-commerce. This is done by analyzing historical online customer demand data from a case comp

This survey study analyzes correlations between disturbances in sleep, screen time, physical activity and perceived stress among young people at a secondary school in the south of Sweden. Bivariate correlations, simple linear regressions and a multiple linear regression analysis were made to try to understand the relationship between the dependent variable of sleep disturbances measured with the “

Big data is becoming ever increasingly important in every kind of scientific field, and data visualization is a big part of gaining an understanding of the data. Exploring data builds on intuition but exploring some data on a 2D screen can remove some of the intuition that is gained by exploring in 3 dimensions. Navigation of data visualization programs are often complex and slow to move through.

The project sets in Prishtina, Kosovo, and explores the oasis of a park in the middle of the intense city. The different movements created by us, has led to the interest of developing architectural fragments of stops to activate the park and further extend the public use of the National Library: a way of creating new movements in order to connect them two together. “A search for the path of total
