Popular Abstract in Swedish Kemiska ämnen finns överallt i vårat samhälle och behövs för att vi ska kunna leva som vi gör. Produktionen av kemiska ämnen använder kemiska processer som ofta är dyra och förbättringar av driftsätt kan spara mycket pengar. För att förbättra en process krävs att experiment utförs som oftast är väldigt kostsamma och tidskrävande. Ett sätt för att minska antalet experime

In this essay, I discuss two major theoretical discourses of modernity, namely, of classical modernity and postmodernity. Moreover, I aim at a proposition of a possible historical relation between those two discourses of crucial importance to modernity’s intellectual history. This historical connection is founded on what I call the principle of insufficient reason. The principle of insufficient

Despite 3 decades of basic and clinical studies, there is still no dopaminergic cell therapy for Parkinson's disease. Several arguments have been put forward why this approach, so far tested with transplantation of human fetal mesencephalic dopamine-rich tissue, will never be of clinical use and should be abandoned: (1) Lack of efficacy in 2 sham surgery-controlled trials; (2) occurrence of troubl

During the last decade there has been an increase in the use of horizontal organizational relationships (HORs) such as strategic alliances, shared services, and outsourcing. Studies accentuate the unstable, fragile nature of HORS and the importance of directing attention to how these arrangements are formed and how and why they change. The aim in this study is to explore control problems of HORs a

A measurement is presented of elastic deeply virtual Compton scattering gamma* p -> gamma p made using e(+) p collision data corresponding to a luminosity of 46.5 pb(-1), taken with the H1 detector at HERA. The cross section is measured as a function of the photon virtuality, Q(2), the invariant mass of the gamma* p system, W, and for the first time, differentially in the squared momentum transfer

A myoelectric control system for prostheses was developed and evaluated on six healthy subjects. These were able to control a computer-animated hand in real-time with a 20 Hz update rate. A data glove, equipped with joint angle sensors, was used to train the system and to evaluate the continuous predictions of joint angles. A linear envelop filter was used for EMG signal pre-processing and the rec

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play an important role in the pathological processes of degradation of extracellular matrix and destruction of basement membrane, which leads to tumor invasion and metastasis. In the present study, we investigated membrane-type 2 MMP (MT2-MMP) expression pattern in esophageal cancer tissues collected from 103 patients, and explored MT2-MMP expression pattern in cor

The multifunctionality of forest systems calls for appropriately complex modelling approaches to capture social and ecosystem dynamics. Using a social-ecological systems framework, we review the functionality of 31 existing agent-based models applied to managed forests. Several applications include advanced cognitive and emotional decision-making, crucial for understanding complex sustainability c

Through a case study of Västra Hamnen in Malmö, this paper seeks to investigate the goal conflicts that exist between walking, cycling and public transport as modes of transportation. It also aims to analyze how the city’s traffic planning has worked with a child perspective in the handling of these goal conflicts, through a comparison with the tradition of advocacy planning. Following an analysis

Den här studien syftar till att öka kunskapen kring hur konsumenter förstår och påverkas av det relativt nya fenomenet varumärkesinkongruent marknadskommunikation. Utifrån resultaten från en förstudie utformades fyra fiktiva reklambilder med en varumärkeslogga från ett väletablerat varumärke. Dessa reklambilder utformades i enlighet med tre olika grader av inkongruens. De användes sedan i semi-strThis paper aims to increase the knowledge of how consumers understand the relatively new phenomenon brand incongruency and how it affects them. Based on the result from a pre-study, four fictional advertisements using a logo from a well-established brand were constructed in order to correspond to three different levels of incongruency. These were used in semi-structured interviews in order to exam

In this paper two different concepts are analyzed: information disorder and cooperation. Psychological warfare has become an increasingly pressing problem during the past few years. Several different notions are being used within the concept, including disinformation, misleading information and information disorder. Problems occur when one has a concept, but no legal definition for it. Hence is th

The population of the world is growing larger and getting older. This growth is causing an increased load on the current healthcare system, thus lowering the standard of healthcare. One group, specially affected by this, is the elderly and their homecare service and retirement homes. To unburden these services, safety alarms were created. However, these are in much need of design, ergonomic and te

Several large, international institutes and think tanks, like Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem), International IDEA, and Freedom House, among others, focus on measuring and tracking government regime types and political environments, primarily through measuring democracies. Yet for all of their sophistication and massive datasets, there are misalignments between democracy scores and human rights for

The existence of a baryon number violating process is one of Shakarov's conditions to explain the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe. The Standard Model is nearly symmetric with respect to the baryon number, and hence we are motivated to look for physics beyond the Standard Model. In this thesis, we consider an effective field theory operator that couples the neutron to a proposed dark

The main purpose of this master thesis is to identify the issues concerning the transformation process of a product oriented company into a service oriented company, and how these issues can be overcome. We will exemplify this by developing a dewatering pump rental concept for ABS, and identify the drivers and barriers for ABS when implementing the service oriented rental concept in Sweden and Pol

BACKGROUND: The isolation of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from the bloodstream can be used to detect and analyze somatic alterations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and multiple cfDNA-targeted sequencing panels are now commercially available for Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved biomarker indications to guide treatment. More recently, cfDNA fragmentation patterns have emerged as a tool to inf

We analyze a highly particular aspect of thesetransformations: Technology barriers to tracking (and thus enabling) progressaccording to the Science-Based Targets (SBT).
