Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a popular drug delivery system as they dissolve in the mouth, usually within seconds which enables easy medication for patients with problem swallowing. In this thesis properties of ODTs were compared when produced with direct compression of the excipients or the excipients were pretreated to form granules in a fluid bed granulator prior to tableting. B

Considering a panel data of 23 countries from different income levels, this research aims to understand the role of governmental quality in mediating the effects of income inequality on CO2 emissions in the period between 1990 and 2020. Using system-GMM, results indicate that good governance is indeed a crucial factor in establishing the direction of the relationship between income inequality and

Ny avfallslagstiftning tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang I dagsläget bestämmer varje kommun själv hur många källsorterade avfallsfraktioner de vill hämta upp hos hushållen samt huruvida matavfall ska sorteras ut separat eller slängas blandat med restavfall. Ny avfallslagstiftning från EU och regeringen tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang så att de lever upp tRecycling reduces the need for new raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the new waste legislation from the EU and the Swedish government imposes higher recycling requirements on Swedish municipalities. Starting from January 1, 2024, it will be mandatory for all EU member states to separately collect food waste through curbside collection. The Swedish government has also decided

Sökandet av förståelsen kring hur jorden, solsystemet, galaxen och universum fungerar har under de senaste hundratals åren varit ständiga frågor som vi människor grubblat över. Frågor som vad materia är, vart det kommer ifrån och hur det ter sig var under en lång tid obesvarade frågor. Idag vet vi att många grundämnen skapas genom den fusion som sker inuti stjärnkroppar, och resterande grundämnen During this report the potassium (K) trend in the Galactic Bulge, with respect to metallicity and various α-elements, has been computed and evaluated by a method of line synthesis on the 7698.96 ̊A KI line (7699 KI), where Non-Local-Thermal-Equilibrium (NLTE) effects have been considered. Specifically, the α-elements of interest are calcium (Ca), titanium (Ti), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg) and oxy

Examensarbetet har utförts på Höganäs AB där stor del av verksamheten drivs av ABB:s styrsystem. Eftersom ABB:s I/O-moduler har lång leveranstid för tillfället men också ett högt inköpspris så sökte företaget alternativ. Det skulle vara lönsamt att testa och analysera alternativ då priserna kan reduceras men också en nödlösning när I/O-moduler går sönder i verksamheten, eller när något nytt behöve

Campylobacter jejuni causes around 100 million cases of gastroenteritis each year and are often transmitted to humans through the consumption of contaminated food, especially poultry. One of the natural enemies of C. jejuni is the bacteriophage Fletchervirus. In this master thesis I have been working on developing and evaluating different tools to modify Fletchervirus which could in the future hel

Workplace incivility has been shown to affect the individual and organization negatively. Studies have also indicated that workplace incivility is a relatively common phenomenon in Sweden. In connection with the pandemic, working life has become increasingly digital, which has normalized video meetings. Therefore, more knowledge is requested about workplace incivility in digital meetings. This pre

Skogsbränder hotar bevarandet av skogens ekosystemtjänster såsom ekologiska funktioner för biologisk mångfald, mildring av effekter från klimatförändringar och rekreation såsom skogspromenader och bärplockning. Hur kan vi ingripa för att återhämta och bibehålla sådana funktioner i naturen efter bränder? I den här studien undersöktes potentialen för återhämtningen av skogar utifrån skogsåtgärder efWildfires causes natural disturbances to ecosystems which can have potentially damaging results for ecosystem services and economic income from timber production. The post-fire management approach can be essential for the environmental work regarding the recovery of ecosystems and maintaining ecosystem services. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate different post-fire management approac

Living to some extent in a partly or fully virtual reality is a scenario that may not be as far in the future as many may think, and the development of technologies that enable this is fully underway. This thesis investigates the commercialization of extended reality (XR) technologies in the consumer market and what may facilitate and hinder this commercialization. The emerging ecosystem of actors

För att kunna handskas med de stigande stressnivåerna hos skolelever är det viktigt att skapa en välfungerande lärandemiljö.

Som sanden i timglaset rinner tiden iväg för att stoppa de globala klimatförändringarna, med ödesdigra konsekvenser för nuvarande och kommande generationer. En av de största utmaningarna är att minska utsläppen från transporter som utgör en tredjedel av de svenska växthusgasutsläppen. Privatbilismen är en av de största klimatbovarna där andelen resor fortsätter öka trots vidtagna samhällsåtgärder.Achieving a transport emission reduction in line with global reduction targets is considered as one of the greatest environmental challenges societies are facing today. As car use continues to increase, there is a need to better understand what influences individuals' choice of transportation and how to bring about behavioural change where fewer choose to travel by car. This study addresses th

In this report we will be working with subalgebras A of finite codimension in K[x]. It is known that such subalgebras can be expressed using a set of linear conditions evaluated at a finite set of points called the spectrum elements of A. These conditions are of one of two types, equality conditions or α-derivations, which in turn consists of the values and the values of the derivations of the ele

Forensic sexual assault samples typically contain a mixture of a small quantity of sperm cells and a high quantity of epithelial cells. This relationship complicates the generation of a DNA profile, which prompts the need for differential lysis and extraction of the DNA. Differential extraction is a lengthy method that includes multiple tube transfers and requires a purification step. Amicon Ultra
