The main goal with this thesis was to investigate the possibility to reduce the number of blades in a high pressure gas turbine row. The reason for this study was the interest to reduce the amount of cooling air needed within the blade row by reducing the wetted area, hopefully without losing efficiency. Another reason for reducing the number of blades was to reduce the costs. A new design of an

Effekten av temperatur på kaseinmicellstruktur i kaseinmicellkoncentrat. Anders Lindqvist: 2015 Med mål om att optimera produktionen av koncentrerade mjölkproteinlösningar och att få bättre kunskap om mjölkproteinet, kasein, och hur det påverkas av temperaturförändringar studerades förändringarna av koncentrerad mjölkproteinlösning efter att ha blivit utsatt för olika temperaturer. De förändrinThe viscosity of concentrated casein solutions play a vital part in the product quality of medical nutrition as well as for the energy consumption in spray drying. Previous work has shown that a lower viscosity can be achieved through processing (Hemar et al. 2011). This project focused on the effect on temperatures on micellar casein isolate (MCI). A temperature range of 5-90 °C has been studied

Denna uppsats behandlar de två analysmetoderna djävulens advokat och kritiskt tänkande och dess relevans för att undvika partisk analys. Genom en jämförelse av de två metoderna är avsikten att klargöra likheter och skillnader och om det är två olika metoder eller om de inte bara är variationer på samma tema. Vidare är avsikten att beskriva hur väl de två metoderna bidrar till bättre underrättelseaThis paper deals with the two analytical methods devil's advocate and critical thinking and its relevance to avoid biased analysis. Through a comparison of the two methods its intention is to clarify the similarities and differences, and whether there are two different methods or only variations on the same theme. The purpose is to describe how well the two methods contributes to better intell

Lord of the Flies (1954) by William Golding is seen by many as a portrait of the violent darkness of human nature, and how all of humanity will revert to a savage state in the absence of civilisation. This essay argues that this is not accurate, since the book only presents the actions of a group of British boys, among which the majority of the violent acts are performed by boys who are most likel

For over 5,000 y, chanting has been practiced across many Western and Eastern traditions. However, there is hardly any empirical research on 1) whether chants from across the globe share common acoustic properties, 2) whether these acoustic features make them distinct from other human vocalizations, and 3) the extent to which they may positively impact listeners’ well-being. Here, we collected 242

This is a comparative case study over time, where I investigate the rise of the party Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) in Bolivia. Through a historical institutionalism perspective I look at the electoral system reform that was undertaken in Bolivia in 1994. I investigate if and how the reform contributed to the possibility of MAS to emerge at the national political arena. Through the reform, Bolivi

The BSC is a widely used management tool that is turning the vision and strategy into operational goals. However, after analyzing the criticism received by the BSC, it seems as if its internal focus, rigidity, static-ism and mechanical mindset limits the company’s ability to create a strategy that takes important external factors into account. As we see it, the BSC’s limitations can create a risk

Problemställning: Vilka är de interna samt externa kritiska faktorer som skall tas hänsyn till, vid fastställandet av en Time pacing-rytm? Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra vilka interna och externa faktorer som är kritiska, av största vikt, för fastställandet av en Time pacing-rytm i ett företag. Dessutom ämnar vi ordna dessa faktorer i en modell som skall hjälpa företag vid fastställan

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om hur ämbetsbärare inom Svenska kyrkan använder timbreringar i deras heraldiska vapen. Detta bruk jämförs sedan med bruket Church of England samt Romersk katolska kyrkan, vilka har en reglerad heraldik, i motsats till Sverige, och Svenska kyrkan. I uppsatsen lämnas även förslag till timbreringar för Svenska kyrkan.

The care for the elderly in the municipalities has recently seen the need for a formalized system for quality assurance. Under increasing demands for monetary efficiency while bound by law to retain acceptable standards in health care, there is need for efficient and at the same time quality-assured management. The municipalities often solve this puzzle by introducing systems and standards influen

Abstract The economic crisis of the 1990s brought about a paradigm shift in the macro economic priorities of Swedish governments. The economic crisis also brought about a fundamental and structural reorganization of the Swedish social insurance system. Social insurance was to be concentrated. The component that was to be most affected by the concentration was the sickness insurance. From now and o

This essay investigates The Man of Jasmine from German surrealist writer Unica Zürn through the lens of Rosi Braidotti's Nomadic Subject. Furthermore, it questions and elaborates the possibility of a Nomadic Subject in The Man of Jasmine. The result of a nomadic reading on the novel is discussed and estimated in terms of its productivity. I observed a consistency between certain aspects of sur

Olikheter i nationers lagstiftning och mellan olika rättsystem vad gäller restriktioner i hur man värderar säkerhetsrätter där själva säkerheten inte befinner sig i borgenärens besittning har länge försvårat marknaden för finansiering och leasing, särskilt vad gäller högt värderad egendom såsom luftfartsutrustning, rullande järnvägsmateriell och tillgångar avsedda för rymden. Dessutom ger lagstift

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the audit expectations gap in Sweden and the public confidence in the audit profession. We analysed if and how Svenska Dagbladet’s critical articles about the audit profession affected both the public confidence and the audit expectations gap. In order to answer our purpose, we have used qualitative research methods. Our conclusion is that no crisis of conf

Interventionen i Libyen var den första militära insatsen som legitimerades med normen skyldigheten att skydda. Vi undersöker om interventionen följer de riktlinjer som den legitimerades med. Vi gör en granskande fallstudie med inslag av en idealtypsanalys för att besvara vår frågeställning. I den följande texten kommer vi visa att den NATO-ledda koalitionens aktioner i Libyen i stort försöker följ

The integration of the European Union has reached the core of the welfare states. Since 2001 an open method of coordination has been used to improve the level of welfare in the member states. The aim of this thesis is to examine the level of democracy in the writing of the national action plans which are part of the OMC social inclusion. A vast number of participants have been involved in the proc

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a contribution to the current waged debate concerning the validity of Carl von Clausewitz’s theories regarding actors engaged in the acts of war. These thoughts have been suggested to be obsolete in the post-cold war era whereas the new wars theories have emerged and modified and challenged the classical knowledge of the very nature of war. The theoretical

By ratifying the ILO Conventions on freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining (Nos. 87 and 98) member states undertake the obligation to bring national legislation and practice into full compliance with these international labour instruments. However, the question is whether the countries actually implement their international commitments. This comparative paper studies the e
