This thesis examines the perception of hierarchy and how student activists have challenged hierarchy in the youth-led protests through attacking symbols of hierarchy and authority. Hereby, the research is based on in-depth interviews with student activists form Bangkok, linking it to the contemporary and historical development of the Thai social order. The findings are analysed through meaning-mak

SUMMARY We aimed to assess whether the characteristics of influenza-like illness (ILI) cases in the general population were similar during the seasonal and pandemic A(H1N1)pdm09 influenza periods. We conducted a study using a general population database, which included demographic (sex, age) and clinical (underlying medical conditions, influenza vaccination status) information on more than 80 000

To estimate the effect of the introduction of the 7- and 10-valentpneumococcal vaccines in 2006 and 2011, respectively in the Netherlands, we assessed respiratory antibiotic use in one to nine year-old children between 2002 and 2013. Seasonal autoregressive integrated moving-average models were applied to estimate the percentage reduction in respiratory antibiotic use. When compared with the pre-v

The replacement of plastic microbeads with biodegradable alternatives is essential due to the environmental persistence of plastics and their accumulation within the human food chain. Hypothesis: Cellulose microbeads could be such alternative, but their production is hindered by the high viscosity of cellulose solutions. It is expected that this viscosity can be harnessed to induce filament thinni

The extensive use of antibiotics over the last decades is responsible for the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) microorganisms that are challenging health care systems worldwide. The use of alternative antimicrobial materials could mitigate the selection of new MDR strains by reducing antibiotic overuse. This paper describes the design of enzyme-based antimicrobial cellulose beads contai

Understanding how and why soil microbial communities respond to temperature changes is important for understanding the drivers of microbial distribution and abundance. Studying soil microbe responses to warming is often made difficult by concurrent warming effects on soil and vegetation and by a limited number of warming levels preventing the detection of non-linear effects. A unique area in Icela

Nanometric cutting of a single crystal copper workpiece of different crystallographic orientations by a stiff cylindrical cubic diamond tool has been investigated by MD simulations using the freeware LAMMPS. The chip evolves during the cutting process and forms depending on crystal orientation, cutting velocity and tool geometry. It was found that no significant difference in the cutting force mag

In this thesis we perform error analysis of a nuclear model based on density-functional theory developed in Lund. The Lund model allows us to perform calculations of nuclear spectra more efficiently by constructing a simple effective Hamiltonian reproducing the quadrupole deformation and pairing interaction strength parameters of a spherical Hartree-Fock reference functional. This constraining of

As systems become increasingly more complex, it is doubtful that conventional models of accident investigation can provide insight into accidents which occur in these complex systems. In safety science this problem has been recognized, and accident models using a systems approach have been developed to illuminate these complex systems. However, they have not been widely applied in the railway sect

The aim of this study was to establish whether or not a development of the complexity of the noun phrase, i.e. an increase in noun phrase elaboration could be observed in written L2 Swedish over time. To provide an insight to said development, three on L2 English previously tested and strongly correlating phrasal complexity measures, MLNP, MNPDep and WNPCx (Bulté 2013), were employed. A fourth mea

Building on the base of the existing telescopes of the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) and ALMA, the next-generation EHT (ngEHT) aspires to deploy ∼10 more stations. The ngEHT targets an angular resolution of ∼15 microarcseconds. This resolution is achieved using Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at the shortest radio wavelengths ∼1 mm. The Submillimeter Array (SMA) is both a standalone radio

Medborgarskap är en viktig status för individen. Medborgarskap innebär både rättigheter och skyldigheter för staten och för individen. Att byta och förvärva ett nytt medborgarskap är en stor ockasion i en persons liv. Denna uppsats kommer att granska kriteriet hederligt levnadssätt som återfinns i 11 § femte punkten MedbL. Intressant nog har detta kriterium utvecklats främst genom praxis. Denna uCitizenship is an essential status for an individual. It entails both rights and obligations for both the state and the individual. To change and gain new citi-zenship is a monumental occasion in an individual’s life. This essay will ex-plore the criterium of honorable living within the 11 § fifth point in the Swe-dish citizenship law. Interestingly enough, this one has chiefly developed through

Bakgrund: Det finns teorier för att exponering av kyla har påverkan på både välmående och prestation i muskelarbete i positiv bemärkning. Det finns dock begränsad forskning som kan stärka detta. Syfte: Syftet med studien blev härmed att undersöka om dynamisk styrka påverkas av att akut ha exponerats för kallvatten innan prestation. Syftet är också att mäta den subjektiva ansträngningen av prestati

Fysisk aktivitet på recept (FaR) har visat sig ha flera goda effekter för personer som är otillräckligt fysiskt aktiva, där ökad fysisk aktivitetsnivå, förbättrad hälsorelaterad livskvalité och positiva livsstilsförändringar är exempel på sådana effekter. Barn och ungdomar med cerebral pares, autism och intellektuella funktionsnedsättningar är generellt mindre fysisk aktiva och löper större risk ä

The effect of the filler size on the structural and mechanical properties of an attractive fibrillated network composed of oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) in water was investigated. Silica nanoparticles with a diameter of ca. 5 nm (SiNp5) and and ca. 158 nm (SiNp158) were chosen as non-interacting fillers of the OCNF network. These filler sizes were chosen, respectively, to have a particle s

Bakgrund Handhållen dynamometer (HHD) är ett instrument som inom fysioterapi används för att mäta muskelstyrka. Mätinstrumentets reliabilitet och validitet har undersökts och fastställts under de senaste decennierna, men få studier har jämfört olika typer och modeller med varandra. Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra en tryck-HHD (Echo Wireless Muscle Tester) med en d
