Droplet microfluidics is a technique that can improve biochemical analyses through higher throughput, lower sample volumes, and reduced costs. For several applications of droplet microfluidics, manipulation of the droplets is required. Trapping is one technique to manipulate the droplets, and can be used for incubation and monitoring of the droplets, allowing enough time for chemical processes to

Lakvatten läcker ut mikroplast Effekterna av mikroplaster är ännu inte helt utredda och därför kan de vara mycket farligare än vad vi vet idag. Plastpartiklarna kan finnas överallt i miljön och en hittills outforskad spridningskälla är deponier och dess lakvatten. Det har inte undgått allmänheten att större plastskräp, det vill säga makroplaster, både förfular samt förstör natur och miljö. MindrAlthough most microplastics (

The purpose of this case study was to investigate residents’ perception regarding household preparedness in areas prone to sudden natural hazards. The study was conducted in Namacu, Koro Island, Fiji. The main method for data collection was through semi-structured interviews and observations. Many of the factors affecting perception regarding the residents’ household preparedness were connected to

The current study set out to investigate patterns of loanwords in a sample of 1,460 lexical meanings in the Finnish lexicon by means of quantitative methods. The methodology used was borrowed from the Loanword Typology project (Haspelmath & Tadmor 2009a), and consisted of a template including various fields, where information about each lexical item was coded. The fields included measures such

Arbetsgivarprerogativet utgör en allmän rättsgrundsats i svensk rätt och innebär att arbetsgivaren åtnjuter fri beslutande rätt inom viktiga områden: arbetsgivarens fria anställningsrätt, fria uppsägningsrätt, fria arbetsledningsrätt samt fria verksamhetsledningsrätt. Historiskt sett har arbets- och verksamhetsledningsrätten inskränkts enbart av "god sed på arbetsmarknaden". Den arbetsräThe managerial prerogative constitutes a general principal of law in Swedish national law, and means that the employer enjoys the right to free decision-making in a number of important areas: right to free employment, free termination of employment, free work management and free operations management. From a historical point view, the free work and operations management has been limited only by th

This study uses an intersectional approach to examine and understand how different social and cultural norms impact women’s agency when choosing infant feeding practice. The study wishes to broaden the debate on how women can succeed with breastfeeding or the infant feeding practice of her choice and decrease harmful premature introduction of solids such as Nestum®. Data was collected via group a

This paper analyzes the effect of overlapping Trade blocs on Trade Facilitation. Using the time, documents and costs incurred as trade facilitation indicators, simulations show interesting yet important effects of an increase in Regional Trade Agreements on trade costs. The results suggest that when it comes to increasing regional trade agreements by 1%, costs are associated with an increase via t

Over the last ten years young people Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) in Sweden have increased from three to almost sixteen percent. During the same period, decentralization of active labour market programs from central to local governments have been implemented. Consequently, since 2005 Swedish municipalities have a statutory obligation to offer young people in NEET appropriate sup

Abstract Title: Strong control mechanisms - a study of the relationship between employer brand and employee organization identity Seminar date: 2018-01-12 Course: FEKH29, Business Administration: Degree Project in Marketing, Undergraduate level, 15 University Credits Points (UPC or ECTS‐cr) Authors: Rebecca Oldfield, Mathilde Åslund Advisor: Jon Bertilsson Keywords: Organizational identity,

Many modern psychological theories still assume that humans know about themselves to a wide and accurate extent, in line with the early classical cognitive frameworks. Other competing frameworks, such as dynamic cognition, propose that intelligent behavior can arise from an interaction between the brain, body, and environment, without the need of manipulating explicitly represented knowledge-state

Ett insättningselement på MAX IV är en förutsättning för det ljus man vill skapa, men påverkar elektronerna som far runt i anläggningen negativt - med hjälp av smarta elektromagneter kan detta lösas. MAX IV är en partikelaccelerator i världsklass. I anläggningen i utkanten av Lund swishar elektronerna i ljusets hastighet runt i enorma ringar av vakuumrör. Till skillnad från vad många tror krockasWhen installing an insertion device (ID) in a storage ring the electron beam is affected. The positional displacement and angle deflection is called orbit displacement (OD) and higher order effects such as focusing of the electron beam are referred to as linear optics. The ability to perform multiple simultaneous experiments is crucial in a synchrotron light source such as MAX IV. This is impossib

The recent success story of gender equality in Sweden puts a shadow over the circumstances during Swedish industrialization when women both lost and won important positions in the economy and in society. Female labor force participation rates developed differently around the Swedish regions between 1870 and 1950 and regional heterogeneity can explain some of the variations where higher urbanizatio

The most central for the population to grow is the fertility rate. When the birth rate is not the most central for an individual the conditions change the population growth. The fertility rate in Sweden is around 1,88 children per woman, although there has been a drastic increase in the population. This increase, which is a combination of the domestic birth rate and an external increase, has given

Denna uppsats ämnar att undersöka och omdefiniera den parasociala relationen och har haft som ambition att förstå dess natur i det nya socialt kodade medialandskapet. Det är med bakgrund till den snabbt utvecklade sociala mötesplats som internet blivit som motiverar val av ämne. Vårt beteende har mer och mer förflyttats till internet och därmed bör våra sociala relationer studeras där liksom det t

Ventilation fans that are operating during fire in residential buildings is the dominating solution regarding smoke spread prevention in Sweden. Variable flows, in form of kitchen ventilation, has some effect on the system, but it is hard toestimate how much. The effects of forced ventilation and how to consider it when verifying the system has been studied in this report. The amount of forced flo

Molecular data have offered new opportunities to resolve phylogenies especially in highly diverse and species-rich groups. The resolution of evolutionary relationships within Lepidoptera have progressed with the development of molecular methods. New species and genera are regularly described for the recently studied noctuoid moth subfamily Nolinae. Because of the limits of morphological characters
