To avoid incorrectly manufactured components, the modern quality development focus towards preventive actions and process improvements. Therefore, a function as acceptance control is not of particular interest. This report treats the activities that have to take place at Gambro Lundia Monitor Division, GLAB MD, in order to get satisfactory quality of purchased components. The Incoming Inspection i

Ben Ali’s authoritarian rule over Tunisia was caused by corruption, nepotism, and unemployment. I aim to show that the downfall of the regime was enhanced by the repression of freedom of expression. Limiting access to information creates struggle for people in their daily lives; they become more dissatisfied and the will to create change becomes stronger. Repressing freedom of expression to hide t

Diffusionsviktad magnetiskresonanstomografi (MRT) är en metod där vi med hjälp av magnetfält kan märka in vattenmolekyler och följa de slumpmässiga rörelser som alla molekyler uppvisar. Den slumpmässiga rörelsen uppstår p.g.a. termisk energi (värmeenergi) och varierar med temperaturen och ämnet som omger molekylerna. Tensoranalys är ett matematiskt verktyg för att skapa modeller för hur den omgivaDiffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a modality that offers the possibility to measure molecular motion such as water self-diffusion which is in the order of 10-9 m2/s. The basic formalism has been known since the middle of the 20:th century, it is however, only during the last decade that it has been used for imaging. Through tensor analysis of diffusion weighted images, acquire

HIV is the world’s leading infectious killer and young people constitute a large part of those who are infected. Preventative interventions directed to young people often fail to provide the comprehensive information about HIV/AIDS that the young people need and the information given is not always accurately understood. The aim of this study was to explore adolescents’ comprehension regarding HIV/

Sammanfattning Hemlig rumsavlyssning är exempel på statens tvångsmakt gentemot den enskilde. Det kan åsamka betydande skada i enskildas personliga integritet men är trots det ett viktigt och slagkraftigt element, i polisens brottsutredande verksamhet. Hemlig rumsavlyssning intar en särställning bland de hemliga tvångsmedlen, då omfattande uppgifter rörande enskildas privatliv insamlas. Utöver uppgSummary Secret coercive measures such as bugging, is an example of the state's coercive power over the individual. It may cause great damage to the personal integrity of the individuals but is nonetheless an important and powerful element, in controlling and solving serious criminal activity. The use of bugging is particularly intrusive, since extensive information concerning the privacy of i

The growing expansion of importance amid financial stakeholders regarding sustainability has led to an extended demand and need of reliable reporting amongst sustainability metrics. Previous research and information about ESG reporting and how ESG ratings are calculated are flawed. This thesis investigates if there are differences between how ESG ratings are assessed between companies producing da

Den svenska elkonsumtionen och elproduktionen förväntas öka drastiskt de närmsta åren. Detta ställer krav på elnätet som därmed behöver stärkas och byggas ut för att tillvarata den el som förväntas. Parallellt med detta behöver den gröna omställningen av industrisektorn påskydas om EU ska lyckas uppnå klimatmålen till 2050. För att dekarbonisera industriella processer kan grön vätgas användas. GenThe expected increase in both consumption and production of electricity strains the Swedish electricity grid, necessitating both reinforcement and expansion. Concurrently, the need to decarbonise heavy industry is becoming more urgent to achieve the EU Climate neutrality goal by 2050, with hydrogen anticipated as a key player. Hybrid energy systems that combine the generation of renewable electric

The global shift in the food system towards more sustainable diets has made legumes such as chickpeas, lentils and beans increasingly important due to their nutritional and environmental benefits. But despite these benefits that they offer, their consumption remains relatively low. A key reason for this, is the digestive discomfort they cause such as bloating and flatulence alongside reduced miner

In the coming decades, the twin energy and digital transitions will require the rapid scaling and deployment of renewable energy technologies and advanced technologies within ‘critical raw materials’ (CRMs) are essential components. At the same time, as CRM reserves are heterogeneously distributed, concentrated in a few countries with refining in even fewer still, demand is expected to outstrip su

Three perspectives of leadership are discussed in this chapter: the transformative (i.e., the heroic), the post-heroic and the mundane. The theme of the chapter is that if we want to understand managerial leadership as an empirical phenomenon and as a work practice, we need to base our understanding of leadership on ordinary managers’ work (i.e., the work of people who are assigned with leadership

However, little is known about brain responses which index processing in other linguistic domains such as lexicon, semantics and syntax in this group. The present study investigated eVects of lexical-semantic priming in 20- and 24

A data set of adaptive optics images has been analyzed in order to study the effects of angular anisoplanatism and to characterize Mauna Kea nighttime turbulence. The data set consists of a selection of Galactic center images obtained with the adaptive optics instrument Hokupa'a and the near-infrared camera QUIRC on the Gemini-North 8 m telescope. Using the Strehl ratio and the FWHM as tracers for

Non-tapered vertically straight GaxIn1-xP nanowires were grown in a compositional range from Ga0.2In0.8P to pure GaP in particle-assisted mode by controlling the trimethylindium, trimethylgallium and hydrogen chloride flows in metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy. X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy in transmission electron microscopy revealed homogeneous radial material composition in single nanowi

The fact that Jesus was a man is claimed to be problematic from a feministic standpoint. One aspect of what is problematic is that the conception of Jesus as the Christ, representing God, makes the connection between men and God closer that that between women and God. In terms of religious proximity men are given a higher degree of religious proximity and therefore also religious authority by mean

The globalization of English in Sweden is examined as it takes shape in educational policy and practice. Following in the tradition of a “new wave” of language policy and planning research that emphasizes connections between policy and how it is interpreted by local stakeholders, this investigation focuses on textual data from Swedish national curricular documents and observational data of preserv

The data we present below are linked to our research paper “Integrated process for sequential extraction of saponins, xylan and cellulose from quinoa stalks (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.)” (Gil-Ramírez et al., 2018) [1]. The objective is to provide supplementary information in order to facilitate the comprehension of the central composite experimental design (rotatable 22) used in the integrated proc
