In this thesis, the importation, transformation and distribution of French popular music in Turkey during the 20th century have been investigated as a case study of cultural transfer. By using theories and methods within a cognitive semiotic framework, this study provides an overview of the phenomenon of French pop music remakes in Turkey by accounting for the initial situation of communication of

The MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring is a fourth-generation electron synchrotron. At the time of writing in May 2017, it is the lowest emittance light source in the world. To study its performance is of foremost importance for the MAX IV Laboratory, its users and for upcoming synchrotrons. In this thesis, the MAX IV 3 GeV beam lifetime has been divided into its different components by experiments using i

Purpose – This study explores the assumptions of Sohl and Hill (2007) and Harrison and Mason (2007), and analyses if these can be empirically supported. This is done from the theoretical perspective of gender studies and explored how women BAs perceive themselves and understand the industry, based on their own educations, experiences and social capital. Methodology – This study follows a qualitati

Robusthet i byggnader har länge varit ett omdiskuterat ämne inom byggbranschen. Ämnet uppmärksammades först efter en olycka i Storbritannien på 1960-talet, en explosion på ett övre våningsplan resulterade i att en stor del av byggnaden Ronan Point rasade samman. Byggnaden var inte tillräcklig robust vilket gjorde att en lokal skada inte begränsades utan spreds och orsakade ett ras. Nu har en ny meRobust structures are necessary in order to avoid a progressive collapse if a local failure occurs, for instance, failure of a column. Robustness is achieved in structures by designing them for so-called accidental actions, such as an explosion or a vehicle impact. These actions are often unexpected, sudden and local as they act on a limited part of the structure. It should be emphasised that prog

Ättiksyra är skitbra till rening av avloppsvatten. Många avloppsreningsverk använder idag bakterier för att rena vattnet, men för att bakterierna ska jobba bra så vill de ha mat i form av alkohol eller korta fettsyror. Ett exempel på det är ättiksyra som man faktiskt kan producera från avloppsvattnet.The biological nutrient removal (BNR) processes at Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) require easily degradable carbon, such as volatile fatty acids (VFAs), to work efficiently. Because of economical, and environmental reasons it is desired to utilize the organic content in the incoming wastewater instead of using an external carbon source. This study investigated the potential of producing VFAs
