Intimate partner violence against men has been a rather unexplored topic within social science research but is now getting more and more attention. It has been shown that victimhood and masculinity is difficult to reconcile among both abused men and members of society. Using qualitative content analysis, this study investigated how male victims of heterosexual intimate partner violence is presente

Flow cytometry is a versatile tool for monitoring a microbial population at a single-cell level. Multiple parameters can be monitored based on the users’ requirements through the utilization of different dyes, biosensors etc., and the use of FCM for on-line measurements during fed-batch cultivations has the potential to be used for precise process control. This project consisted of the development

With the evolution of cartography from hand-drawn to digital maps, the task of icon placement has become increasingly complex. Nowadays there is a need to automate this process to produce high quality results in less time. This study aimed to optimize icon placement on city wayfinding maps, addressing challenges of placing icons in high-density areas and maintaining a strong association between ic

This project tested the potential of plant based milk powders to function as an animal-based milk powder by testing them on multiple characteristics. The powders were produced using spray drying techniques, obtained using formulations differentiating in protein amount, ratio of maltodextrin:sucrose and two different protein sources. The different ratios were 100% sucrose; 100% maltodextrin; 50% ma

The European Spallation Source (ESS) infrastructure is being constructed in Lund, and will be one of the most powerful research facilities of its type in the world. The ESS linear accelerator (linac) utilizes different accelerating sections where a wide variety of techniques should be employed to accelerate a beam of protons to 2 GeV kinetic energy through Radio Frequency (RF) cavities before bein

I denna essä formulerar författaren tillvägagångssätt för en vidareutveckling av ekumeniskt lärande på basis av deltagarnas erfarenhet av ett projekt inspirerat av ekumeniskt lärande. Ekumeniskt lärande beskrivs i både sitt historiska sammanhang och olika influenser och definieras som ett förändrande och holistiskt lärande där den lärde är tänkt att reflektera över sin tro, livsstil, globala och s

This Master Thesis has been written at EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company) Airbus in Bremen.The work contains a description of a few methods when linearising SystemBuild models in MATRIXx. MATRIXx is a tool for matrix manipulations (similar to Matlab) and SystemBuild is a graphical modeling environment (similar to SimuLink). The methods examined are the linearization command “lin”

By adapting gear changes and cruise control of a Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) to road inclination, fuel and time savings can be achieved. In this thesis is presented a novel method of predicting the upcoming road topography, by constructing a geographical and topographical self-learning map from which a route prediction is made. The system is designed to simultaneously produce the desired road grade o

Under de senaste åren har stora resurser lagts på forskning kring utvecklingen av biomaterial för ersättning av fossil-baserade material. Förpackningsindustrin i synnerhet är en sektor känd för att generera enorma mängder fast avfall, med produkter som inte sällan har betydligt kortare livslängd än sina materialkomponenter. Polylaktid (PLA) är en mångsidig biopolymer som används kommersiellt föIn recent years, large efforts have been put into the research of biomaterial synthesis for the replacement of fossil-based materials. Particularly in the packaging industry, a sector responsible for generating enormous amount of solid waste in which products have a considerably shorter life span than their material components. Polylactic acid (PLA) is a versatile, commercial biopolymer used fo

This thesis explores the concept of social capital in relation to the mobilization of citizens for a more active role in the development of their local society. A case study have been conducted investigating and comparing the approaches of two special types of limited companies for society development, both owned and established by locally based non-profit associations. Both of these associations

Föreliggande uppsats syfte är att undersöka i vad mån svensk rätt tillgodoser asylsökande ensamkommande barns rätt till en ställföreträdare under asylprocessen och vid ett eventuellt beslut om uppehållstillstånd. Uppsatsen tillämpar rättsdogmatisk metod. Syftet besvaras utifrån frågeställningar som ämnar ge svar om vilken rätt som föreligger till en ställföreträdare, vilken funktion den gode manneThe aim with this essay is to investigate how Swedish law accommodate unaccompanied children with a representative during the asylum process and if asylum are approved. Unaccompanied children are defined as children under 18 years of age who have been separated from both parents and are not being cared for by an adult who, by law or custom, is responsible for doing so. International conventions

The purpose of this paper is to predict the cost-effectiveness of a preventive health care project based on physical exercise that will take place at Medicon Village, Lund, in the fall of 2016. Data from the Health Survey for England is used to develop an empirical model with individual fixed effects that estimates the relationship between physical exercise and psychological well-being. The freque

Under flera års tid har återkommande förhöjda halter mikroorganismer förekommit i havremjöl på en av Lantmännen Cerealias verksamheter i Järna. Detta har lett till ett begränsat användningsområde och ökade kostnader. Syftet med utredningen var att upparbeta en åtgärdsplan för att förbättra hygienstatusen och minska de kostnader som de förhöjda halterna inneburit. Historisk data har granskats, en

The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibrils via erroneous folding, also known as misfolding, occurs in several diseases. As a consequence, the study of the kinetics and thermodynamics of this process is currently intensely pursued. Here, we study a minimalistic lattice-based model for amyloid formation using Monte Carlo techniques to sample the grand canonical ensemble, where the chemical pot
