The cleaning methods after the coating of Nicorette® gums has a few shortcomings. The build-up of residual titanium dioxide on the walls inside the mixer and holding tank is a longstanding issue that needs to be addressed. Another issue in the cleaning process is residual gums in the pan after emptying. These residual gums may interfere and cause a mix-up with the next batch. The current method

Ett av de mest internationellt kritiserade besluten som Europeiska unionen tagit var då de 2008 beslutade att inkludera alla flyg till och från EU i Europeiska unionens handel med utsläppsrätter (EU ETS). Med betydelsen att flygbolagen skulle bli tvungna att handla med utsläppsrätter inte bara gällande de utsläpp som skedde inom Europeiska unionens luftrum utan också utanför. Beslutet resulterade

The right to education in International Human Rights Law has found much discussion in terms of access and compulsion. This right is the only right in the Instruments that carries with it a “purpose” element, which however has been left undefined and under discussed. This study has two layers, the first being to rightly understand the “purpose” element of the right to education. The second is an ex

The aim of this study was to examine how young people define their family and how they describe their own family relations. What makes the family a family from the perspective of a youth? The questions posed were: Who do you include in your family? and What makes family important?. Utilizing a qualitative method known as self-documentary data compilation, young people, aged 15, have written essays

With the increasing importance accorded to environmental performance of buildings, the goal of this master thesis is to study the Dutch assessment method for evaluating the environmental impact caused by the material of an office building project with the Dutch version of the BREEAM certification scheme. After doing a literature review to comprehend the current state of affair concerning the asse

Taste masking is an important aspect in the food industry. Many health beneficial foods contain compounds such as phytochemicals that have undesireable tastes. The aim of this work was to prepare particle-stabilised (Pickering) emulsions to encapsulate and mask the taste of strong flavoured oil using heat-treatment. Quinoa starch Pickering emulsions made with a neutral oil (miglyol), fish oil and

There is no correlation between internal control environment and possibility of internal auditors in detecting fraud. This research tries to find out if there is any correlation between the years of experience of internal auditors and the perception of possibility in detecting fraud and if there is any correlation between the perception of internal auditors in their role and the perception of poss

In what follows, two properties characterizing supplier selection methods, namely, transparency and independence of irrelevant alternatives, will be properly discerned. Consecutively, three hypotheses, concerning the impact these properties have on the procurement outcome, will be suggested. Transparency is presumed to decrease the likelihood of having a locally established winner as well as to in

Syfte: Beskriva livet på musikfestivaler och förklara vilken funktion de fyller idag. Frågeställningar: Vilka skäl, förutom musiken, har svenska ungdomar till att delta i en festival? Hur upplever besökarna att deras beteende förändras när de befinner sig på festivalen? Hur kan vi förstå festivalen ur ett större, mänskligt perspektiv? Metod: Jag deltog sommaren 2011 i Peace and Love-festivalen i

Introduction: The axonal myelin sheath is the main cause of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast between gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM) in the brain. It encloses a small pool of myelin water (MW) with a short T2 of about 15 ms. Common signal equations of MRI sequence assume an instantaneous RF excitation pulse followed by free relaxation. As known from ultra-short echo time (UTE) MRI,

Purpose Intensity modulation of radiation is one of several important conditions to evaluate for full understanding of how cells involved in the bystander effect influence each other when cells are exposed to radiation at low and high dose rates. The aim of this study was to develop and apply a useful and practical dosimetric method for measurement of the absorbed dose to cell cultures exposed to

In the event of a nuclear weapon detonation or a power plant accident radionuclides will deposit on the ground. It is then important to identify and quantify the radionuclides to obtain information necessary for radiation protection efforts like relocation and decontamination. Radiation protection instruments with beta probes can be used as search instruments but the small surface of the probe an

I Sverige finns det en rad olika arbetsmarknadspolitiska åtgärder vilka lyder under programmet för det som benämns som Jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin. Målet är att motverka framförallt långtidsarbetslöshet, vilket är definitionen för arbetslöshet som sträcker sig över 450 dagar. Man faller då inom ramen för den sista fasen inom programmet för Jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin, den så kallade ”sysselsät

Mina tidigare erfarenheter av att arbeta som lärare på ett statligt ungdomshem gav upphov till ett intresse att sociologiskt studera skolverksamhet i ungdomsvård. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka de sociala villkor för intagna ungdomar som organiseringen av undervisningen på ungdomshem innebär, samt att undersöka hur ungdomar förhåller sig till dessa villkor genom sitt agerande. Jag utgår

The aim of the current study is to broaden our understanding of conflicts and their relationship with autonomy in several different directions. In particular, this study strives to: confirm previous findings outside the domain of romantic relationships, address the notion of autonomy as growth motivation, and tie current findings to five core concerns—technique aimed at maintaining good relationsh
