This paper is aim to see if the structure components are similar or difference during the growth process. Taking a

Den svenska miljöpolitikens utveckling - En studie av riksdagspartiernas idémässiga förskjutning

Politik är ett fält under konstant förändring. Den svenska miljöpolitiken är inget undantag vilket masteruppsatsen "Den svenska miljöpolitiken - En studie av riksdagspartiernas idémässiga förskjutning" påvisar. Utgångspunkten är att politik utformas av riksdagspartier, desto fler mandat ett parti innehar desto mer inflytande har partiet över politikens utformning. Under perioden 1988-201As the scientific community publishes ever-growing scientific evidence of the anthropogenic effects on the environment and the climate, makes environmental studies interesting and important. Environmental politics is a policy area that is constantly fluctuating because the political parties that develop national environmental policies in the parliament are changing their views in this area. With t

The interplay and clash of religious norms and Swedish divorce laws

This thesis aims to explore the interplay and clash of religious norms and Swedish divorce laws and the role of migration in shaping these processes. The case of Sweden deserves particular attention in this respect, as it has been more open than other EU countries in terms of accepting refugees and asylum seekers over the last two decades. This policy certainly has implications for cultural divers

Identification & evaluation of the within host variation in Plasmodium relictum, a cosmopolite avian malaria parasite

Med fågel som referens, en jämförelse mellan fågel- och humanmalaria Malaria är en parasitinfektion som har hemsökt människan sedan urminnes tider. Trots att läkemedel mot malaria upptäcktes för över hundra år sedan är sjukdomen fortfarande ett globalt hot, då sjukdomen uppskattningsvis orsakar en miljon dödsfall årligen samt att 3,6 miljarder människor riskerar att bli infekterade. I och med den

Dynamiska förmågor bland fyra företag i byggindustrin

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om det i vissa situationer är fördelaktigare för ett företag att förändra sin resursbas med ad hoc-lösningar än genom att utveckla dynamiska förmågor. Metod: Uppsatsen genomförs genom en multipel fallstudie på fyra företag. Analysen av det insamlade materialet utförs med så kallad ”pattern-matching”. Teoretiska perspektiv: Studien använder sig allmänt

Evaluation of extraction methods for detection of human DNA in soil samples from crime scenes.

På senare år har polisen i Sverige börjat använda sig av spårhundar i sitt arbete för att säkra biologiska spår vid brottsplatser. En hund har tusen gånger mer känsligt luktsinne än människan vilket betyder att hundar kan hitta små biologiska spår, ofta blandade med jord, som är omöjliga för människan att se med blotta ögat. Det ökande användandet av spårhundar har lett till att fler biologiska prThe aim of the project was to investigate and evaluate different extraction methods for detection of human DNA in environmental crime scene samples containing soil. Soil is a complex and heterogeneous material consisting of several inhibitory compounds, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from such samples. The investigation included the evaluation of 19 different extraction methods based on s

Ett eller flera samtal? En studie om besökare vid familjerådgivningen

The aim of this study was to examine whether visitors to family counseling intended to go to one or more sessions of counseling and whether the expectations and experiences of the first session affect the visitors intention. It was a quantitative study that consisted of two parts, a survey and a structured interview. The participants in the survey answered the survey before their first counseling

Laser Stabilisation Using a Slow Light Cavity

I det här examensarbetet undersöks den möjliga tillämpningen av långsamt ljus till laserstabilisering. Stabiliteten av lasrar låsta till externa kaviteter är begränsad av stabiliteten hos moderna i referenskaviteten. Genom att använda dispersiva effekter som ger upphov till långsamt ljus kan den effektiva längden av en kavitet ökas med flera storleksordningar, utan en motsvarande ökning i känslighIn this thesis the application of slow light effects to the area of laser stabilisation is investigated. The frequency stability of lasers locked to external cavities is limited by the stability of the modes in the reference cavity. By using dispersive slow light effects the effective length of a cavity can be increased by several orders of magnitude, without a proportional increase in the sensiti

Pattern recognition receptors’ and chemokine receptor expression on tonsil dendritic cells

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most frequent cancer worldwide and its high mortality rate highlights the necessity of developing novel therapies. Among the different cancer therapy methods, one of the most encouraging ones is dendritic cell (DC)-targeting immunotherapy, where desired antigens are delivered to DCs via antibodies. In this study, we investigated the freque

Den kvinnliga kameleonten : modets betydelse i identitetsskapande rollspel

“The female chameleon –fashion's importance in identity creating roleplay” focuses on how women are encouraged by fashion- and lifestyle related materials to create different identities and roles in everyday life. In the first part of the analysis it answers how women create roles when they actively engage in the process by seeking advice via different media. To understand identity-constructio

Överlevare eller Övervinnare? Föreställningar om funktionshinder i Georgien utifrån erfarenheter från de funktionshindrades gemenskap

The purpose of this ethnographic study was to examine the conceptions and challenges people deal with that work among the disability community in the country of Georgia. I have analyzed my empiric material through the theoretical framework of stigma and normality, but also through a cultural perspective. My focus was to discover how disabled people are viewed in Georgia, as well as how they view t

Optimization of Cleaning Methods After Coating of Nicorette® Chewing Gums

I läkemedelsbranschen är renheten ytterst viktig, och ibland kan vissa metoder belasta miljön och omgivningen onödigt mycket. Denna artikel tar upp förslag som med hjälp av ultraljud kan förbättra olika nuvarande rengöringsmetoder utan att öka belastningen på miljön.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

Critical Analysis of the EU Emissions Trading Scheme in light of the Case C-366/10 ATA and Others

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 One of the most internationally criticized decisions made by the European Union was the extension of the EU emissions trading scheme (EU ETS) in 2008; so that it would also cover all aviation coming from and going to the EU. The emission trading would cover emissions discharged both outside and within the EU territory. The situation led to a legal battle before the Court of Justice of the European

Taste Masking in Pickering Emulsions

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

Spectral Theory for Unbounded Self-Adjoint Operators with Applications to Sturm-Liouville Problems

Många dierentialekvationer inom fysik och matematik är kopplade till obegränsade självadjungerande operatorer. Vi skulle vilja formulera en version av spektralsatsen för dessa operatorer. Denna sats är ett känt verktyg från lineär algebra för att förenkla symmetriska matriser. Dock kan vi inte studera obegränsade operatorer med hjälp av de gamla denitionerna och resultaten rakt av. Vi behöver en n
