Novel materials in microfluidics can enable innovative applications, price reductions, higher efficiency, and increased availability. In this thesis, I examine polymer materials for acoustofluidic applications, and find several functioning, and promising, materials and designs. Microfluidics involves manipulating small volumes of fluids for novel applications, and acoustofluidics describes the ap
It is an on-going debate in the business of fire protection engineering in Sweden whether steel construction in hall buildings (building class Br2) can be performed without technical fire classification or not. The building code, EKS 9, gives some restrictions and methods to determine this and one of these methods is the local fire (Swedish standards institute (1), 2007) which is evaluated and ana
Bakgrund: Depression efter förlossning, postpartum depression (PPD), drabbar idag ca 10-15% av alla nyblivna mammor. PPD är ett globalt problem och drabbar kvinnor i alla länder, kulturer och socioekonomiska grupper. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att belysa hur kvinnor som drabbats av PPD upplever sjukdomen och vården de erhåller. Metod: En litteraturstudie har genomförts. Elva vetenskapliga artiklar h
During the past decades there is a growing interest to include a cultural dimension in the debate on sustainable development. In this thesis I explore how culture, and more specifically the Flemish cultural sector, contributes to the transition to a sustainable society. By means of case studies, I examine how cultural organizations perceive their role in the transition process and how they transla
Popular science Domestic energy consumption depends on the weather conditions, how energy efficient a building is and the price of fuel. There is a direct relationship between domestic energy consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with an increase in energy use resulting in an increase in emissions. Domestic energy consumption and CO2 emissions are closely related to a number of factors in
Entrepreneurs are increasingly called upon to solve many of the social and environmental consequences induced by the conventional food system. However the means and visions driving entrepreneurial actions towards more sustainable food practices are various and influenced by various thought systems. This paper presents an empirical assessment of values driving small scale food entrepreneurs, operat
Having a child with disability (CWD) gives rise to implications for the parents. Social and psychological challenges are known factors, together with financial constraints and employment issues, which increase the risk of poverty. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore parents’ perception of and how their lives have been impacted by having a CWD. The methods consisted of semi-structured i
This thesis discusses institutional sustainability and transitions to sustainable development. These concepts are explored through a qualitative case study on rural groundwater management institutions in Aweil East, South Sudan. The primary question guiding the discussion is how a transition towards sustainable development is reflected in this particular case. The secondary questions supporting th
Studiens hypoteser var att undersöka om en grupp ensamkommande ungdomar som tilldelats en stödperson hade bättre välbefinnande (hypotes 1), mentaliseringsförmåga (hypotes 2) och tillfredsställelse med sitt sociala stöd (hypotes 3) jämfört med en grupp ensamkommande ungdomar som inte hade tilldelats en stödperson. Studien hade även som syfte att undersöka om ungdomarna som hade en stödperson var nö
Introduction: Impacted morselized bone allograft is thought to be remodeled to a great extent. We have previously shown that load-bearing increases the remodeling of impacted morselized bone allografts in a rabbit knee prosthesis model. Bone Morphogenic Proteins (BMPs) also stimulate bone formation and bone allograft remodeling. In this study, our aim was to determine whether it was possible to in
I denna artikel har jag försökt visa att när man engagerar sig i en politisk rörelse spelar emotioner en inte obetydlig roll. Ty den fråga man måste ställa sig är om det är troligt att känslorna inte har någon betydelse för de personer som är aktiva i föreningar av olika slag? Tron att passion och emotioner har en betydelse för engagemanget kan ses som ett alternativ till uppfattning att det är ”i
Some raw material characteristics were evaluated in three apple varieties cultivated in Southern Sweden, namely Kim, Mutsu and Jonagold. The study was undertaken to collect information in order to identify the effects of initial tissue properties on mass transport phenomena in general, and osmotic processing responses in particular. The texture profile analysis revealed cortex anisotropy of the th
The Swedish function word 'att' tends to be phonetically marked in hesitation contexts. The relation between such contexts and the syntactic complexity of the following clause is discussed.
Arbetarförfattare skriver deckare och når en bred publik. Men man kan lika väl säga att de förvandlar sig till underhållningsförfattare. Kanske går de under för en borgerlig kultur på samma sätt som när modernismen blev viktigare än klassen i litteraturen i mitten av förra seklet. Vänstern måste bygga upp sina egna kulturella institutioner om dagens arbetarlitteratur ska vidareutvecklas. Magnus Ni
