The presence of Nano particles in food is a topic that have gain much attention lately. The aim of this study is to investigate the aggregation behavior of nano silica under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled with several detectors. Major part of this work is to find a suitable condition for the experiments. With measurements of Z-pote

The field of linguistic relativity has its origin in the thoughts of the German philosopher Humboldt. He considered the language to be the formative organ of thought, the thought becomes externalized through sound in speech and thus perceptible to the senses. Thought and language are therefore one and inseparable from each other. Other prominent names in the field of linguistic relativity are Sapi

This study aims to examine customer acquisition strategies of multisided platforms and consumer perception towards them. It further aims to contribute to current literature by addressing present uncertainty regarding the relationship of customer acquisition and consumer perception. From a practical perspective it should help other multisided platforms to identify customer acquisition methods that

An increased focus on bad leaders and toxic workplaces in recent years has led many to question how a single leader can have such a large effect on an organization. It is becoming more apparent that a relationship exists between leadership, workplace culture, and employee behavior that may explain how destructive leadership can become so widespread. This study examines the effects of perceived des

Based on previous research regarding employment among individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and the clinical description of ASD, this study focused on ten work environment factors: emotional demands, variation of work, predictability, role clarity, leadership, social support from colleagues and supervisor, social community, inclusivity, and using strengths. These work environment factors

Compensation for sickness absence reached a peak in Sweden by the late 1980s. A generous sickness benefit system was met by high levels of absence. By the early 1990s, the Swedish economy was in deep crisis. In response, the Swedish government restricted sickness benefits and privatized short-term sick leave payouts. This thesis asks whether sick leave reforms reduced Swedish sickness absence and

Within the globalization of the food industry lies gaps, disconnecting the consumer from the foods origins, increasing the ignorance about agriculture and where the food on the table comes from, and how it is produced. This thesis is focusing on the area of the dairy production industry, and how monopoly creates diversity between the small local farmer and the dairy giants, forcing small farms to

As infrastructural systems become ever more complex and interconnected, they may also become ever more vulnerable to system-wide faults due to local disturbances. As such it is of great importance to design these system to be resilient, i.e. to be able to withstand and recover from disturbances or new conditions. In the case of traffic networks, while much work has been done to analyze the stabili

This thesis is a case study on the family reunification procedure for refugees in Denmark, in the context of an increasingly restrictive environment. It sought to find out how structural facets of Danish immigration law interact with and influence the practices of navigating a family reunification process, for people with a refugee background. Two phases of semi-structured interviews were conducte

Data editing is one of the most important processes in order to achieve high quality statistics and is at the same time the most costly processing in statistical production. Therefore, many attempts have been made, over time and worldwide, to find effective ways to improve methods and at the same time limit costs of editing. This thesis dives into the concept of data editing and selective editin

This study investigated the relationship between perception of transformational leadership and burnout experience and determined the mediation effect of organizational factors on this specific relationship within a Swedish construction company. Further, differences between blue- and white-collar workers in the perception of transformational leadership and burnout experiences were examined. It was

Altajmeborrkärnan togs upp i närheten av Buttle centrala Gotland 2015. Projektet är ett resultat av en internationell borrkampanj mellan geologiska institutionen vid Lunds universitet och Iowa universitet, USA. Borrningen gick ned till den underliggande ordoviciska lagerföljden på ett djup av ca 330 m. I denna masteruppsats har karbonatsedimentologin och gamma ray-loggen från de översta 137 m av bThe Altajme drillcore was recovered from near Buttle in central Gotland in 2015. The core was drilled in outcrop belt of the late Wenlock (Silurian) Klinteberg Formation as a result from an international drilling campaign between the Department of Geology at Lund University and Iowa University, USA. The coring continued to the top of the underlying Ordovician strata at a depth of ca 330 m. In this

Pavements in Sweden today are often designed to have a life span of at least 20 years. This means that pavements are designed to endure all seasons for 20 years: 20 winters, 20 spring thaws. 20 summers and so on. For those occasions where a life span less than 20 years is requested, there is no standardized method to use today. Designing is instead usually done either by scaling down the results f

We investigated the performance of basic jet subtraction, by the utilization of jet reconstruction generally used at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This was done by studying Z-bosons, in the dielectron decay channel, and the associated jet correlation in pp, pPb and PbPb collisions, using datasets generated by the Monte Carlo generator PYTHIA8. The PbPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 2.76$ TeV a

While the general process of mineralization and bone formation during embryogenesis is well understood, little is known about the detailed mechanisms and the structural and compositional characteristics of developing bone. At present, studies on fetal bones have been conducted, but most of these studies have been on the macro- and microscale. Bone tissue constitutes of an organic and inorganic ma

This master thesis, completed at the company Alfa Laval studied the surface properties of grade 1 titanium from two different suppliers to examine if there were any significant differences between the two suppliers. Previously titanium from the two suppliers had performed differently at times when used in Alfa Lavals heat exchangers. The experiments performed where studies of surface energy, surfa

This thesis examines the possible transjudicial interaction that may arise between the ICC and the IACtHR with regard to the interpretation of the crime of enforced disappearance of persons. This potential scenario of jurisprudential cross-fertilisation is considered on the fact that both, the IACtHR and the ICC exercise jurisdiction ratione materiae over the crime of enforced disappearance, there

During the past few years the focus on bioprocess monitoring and control has increased. An area still under intensive development is the sampling methods for efficient and rapid analysis during fermentations. In this thesis, an online-sampling and monitoring scheme was developed using the versatile automated continuous flow system (VersAFlo) for recombinant protein production. From the implementat
