Ofrivillig ensamhet är ett växande samhällsproblem och påverkar människors hälsa negativt, såväl fysiskt som psykiskt. Som människor är vi skapta för att vara i gemenskap med andra. Att känna sig inkluderad och delaktig därmed grundläggande för vårt välbefinnande och vår hälsa. Många upplever den sociala avsaknaden i sitt hem eller i sitt bostadsområde. När det handlar om att känna sig ensam i s
Design of experiment is a powerful tool that can reduce the amount of physical testing needed to save resources, time and money. A CFD-setup was constructed in OpenFOAM-8, simulating injection of liquid propane with a standard multi-hole injector. The model was then validated against experimental results. Two design of experiment models were then created using Rstudio. The two models had four spec
Denna studie berör incel-män på forumet Flashback och deras livsberättelser utifrån teman om ensamhet, utanförskap, maskulinitet och samhälleliga faktorers roll i problematiken. Tidigare forskning tyder på att ensamhet och utanförskap samt upplevd hopplöshet inför möjligheter till sexuella och/eller romantiska relationer förekommer frekvent inom gruppen incels. Syftet med studien är att utöka kuns
Plastic waste, especially from packaging, keeps increasing. As a consequence, harmful effects on animals and whole ecosystems as well as increasing greenhouse gas emissions can be seen. More sustainable materials are therefore needed, and dry thermopressed cellulose shows promising potential in replacing plastics in several packaging applications. Being a novel type of moulded pulp process, the re

Drug delivery with lipid nanoparticles, especially sponge phase lipid nanoparticles (LNP), has been well studied because of its ability for drug encapsulation and transferring the drug through the cell membrane. The sponge phase LNP formulation could be affected by the molecular structure of the lipid, the temperature, pH, dilution, the buffer, and the addition of a stabiliser. This project aimed
