Starch and cellulose can be chemically modified to produce derivatives with specific properties. Knowledge of correlations between the modification reaction, substituent distribution and properties is important in order to design modification processes so as to produce derivatives with the desired properties. This thesis describes research on analytical methods for the determination of the distri
119 volumes of early printed sermons (incunabula) reproduced in full on microfiche. Most of the sermons are in Latin, but some are in the European vernaculars (English, High German, Low German, French, Spanish).
Technology Management is a unique program at Lund University, where a selected number (40) of students from the Faculty of Economics and from the Faculty of Engineering are taught together during their last 2 years of study. Their degree will be a Master's degree. Their views on problems and challenges in today's industry often complement each other. In addition it is important to complement their
In this paper, we present a statistical model for the ultra-wideband (UWB) channel in an industrial environment. Based on a set of measurements in a factory hall, we find that the abundance of metallic scatterers causes dense multipath scattering. This can be seen to produce mostly a Rayleigh distributed small-scale fading signal, with only a few paths exhibiting Nakagami distributions. For the po
In the US in general and in Santa Cruz, California in particular there is an intense housing crisis affecting the right to housing for the population. Groups within the society are in conflict about what to do about the crisis. As a participant of the No Place Like Home Project I have analyzed interviews done through Community Based Research. This qualitative research will through a frame analysis
Terrorism seems to have changed character in the wake of globalization and the modern world. The unclear magnitude of these changes has given rise to a debate on whether terrorism today can be labeled as ‘new’. This thesis examines how the terrorist organization Hamas should be defined in this debate on the character of contemporary terrorism. The study is carried out as a theory-testing case stud
The research aims to understand and explore the process of memory politics that has underpinned the redevelopment of Vӓstra Hamnen’s built environment, and the extent to which these considerations have actively shaped the urban design of the area, for better or worse, in relation to the values Malmö Stad have sought to express through the area’s narrative shift. The research has endeavoured to ach
Fibrosis is a process characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix components and is attributed to excessive scar formation and is a common feature of many chronic inflammatory conditions. Fibrogenesis involves multiple inflammatory cells including NKT cells, which have been suggested to play a prominent role in the control of this process. Here we characterize a transgenic mouse mode
Plant-insect interactions play a crucial role in the evolution of the coevolving web of life, shaping local interaction networks and moulding the diversity and the evolutionary history of two of the most diverse groups of organisms on earth. The interaction between Lithophragma bolanderi (Saxifragaceae), which presents a geographic mosaic of ploidy levels, and the pollinating floral parasite Greya
Inhaled pharmaceuticals are commonly used in the treatment of respiratory disease. This method of administration has many advantages but also poses a problem with particles being lost before reaching the target site. Particle deposition in airways is mainly an effect of inertial impaction, gravitational settling and diffusion. What mechanism influences a particle the most depends on the particle a
Denna studie undersöker hur den svenska staten uttrycker sig kring nyttjande av mark för urfolk nationellt kontra internationellt med hjälp av teorierna postkolonialism, intern kolonialism samt saltvattenskolonialism. Således består materialet av uttryck från staten i form av regering, ministrar, Sida samt den statligt finansierade fonden the Tenure Facility. Analysen förs sedan genom metoden What
Aim: The overall aim of this study is to define post-crisis recovery as well as gain a deeper understanding of the strategies that corporate brands use in order to recover from a crisis. Theoretical Perspective: The research takes a strategic brand management perspective in order to define recovery as well as how corporate brands recover from a crisis. The previous literature that is utilized ha
Although there is a well-researched theoretical tradition to explain institutional trust, very little research has been done in authoritarian countries in general, and MENA countries more specifically. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature by identifying the factors that explain institutional trust in Algeria, focused more specifically on Algeria’s armed forces as one of the powerbrok
This paper seeks to identify indicators of why and how Ukrainian Government has failed to halt the conflict of Donbas by focusing on legislative developments between July 16 2014 - February 15, 2015. A Minimalist+politics approach has been applied, providing a theoretical framework that combines empiricy, normativity, and contextual settings to comprehend how peace processes operate depending on a
The aim of this study was, through qualitative interviews with four women who lived with violence in close relationships, to study the post-violence after an ended relationship. I wanted to inquire into what feelings the women experienced and what support they felt they received from society in their process of finding their way back to themselves after separation from a violent man. The results s
