Problem discussion: The process of paper production includes numerous steps from that a customer order is received to that a finished product is delivered to the customer. A desire exists at Holmen Paper to be able to ease and improve the complex operational methods through the use of computer-aided simulation. Based on the reasoning above the problem to solve in this master thesis is to resolve w
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geologi är en ung gren av naturvetenskap. Det var inte förrän på 1800-talet som geologins ädla konst började diskuteras och detta trots att moral och religiös etik dikterade annat. Inte kunde väl jorden vara mer än 4000 år och borde inte Gud ha nämnt de där dinosaurierna i bibeln? Inte förrän mitten på 1900-talet började man till slut gräva fram ett och annat koThe mid-Atlantic ridge connects with land at the Reykjanes peninsula, Southwest Iceland. Iceland extends well over the whole ridge and allows for representative surface observations of sea-floor processes. Across the Peninsula the plate boundary is characterized by a rift zone, which encompasses leaky transform fault zone characteristics. Across a fissure swarm, connected with the Reykjanes volcan
Skåne har formats genom flera tektoniska och geologiska processer kopplade till en stor sprick- och rörelsezon – Sorgenfrei-Tornquistzonen. I sydvästra Skåne finns ett större förkastat block, Höllvikensänkan, med sedimentära lager från trias-juratiden. Denna lagerföljd karakteriseras av sandsten varvat med lersten som avsatts både lokalt och över större områden. Studien har fokuserat på analys av The geological setting of Skåne is the outcome of successive phases of transtensional tectonics, block-faulting, subsidence, transpression and inversion focused around the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone. The Höllviken Halfgraben is one of the major blocks in southwestern Skåne with a Rhaetian–Pliensbachian succession characterized by interbedding of arenaceous and argillaceous facies of local and regio
Attosecond pulses allow the study of electrons on their natural timescale. They are created from the interaction of atoms with ultrashort, intense laser pulses whose electric field approaches the strength of inner-atomic electric fields. This thesis presents experiments around the generation, characterization and application of attosecond pulses. First, we study the influence of the atomic genera
Surface analytical tools have gained interest in the bioanalytical field during recent years because they offer the possibility of more detailed investigations of biomolecular interactions. To be able to use such tools, the biomolecules of interest must be immobilized to a surface in a functioning way. For small water-soluble biomolecules, the surface immobilization is quite straightforward, but i
The global transition to renewable energies is increasingly driven by wind energy, which now experiences its biggest growth in the emerging and developing countries. The development of large-scale wind farms raises concerns over often neglected territorial and social dimensions of wind energy development – important issues in areas like the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, southern Mexico, where indigenous
Problem Statement: Make the order handling process as well as the purchasing process more efficient by constructing a loading application for transport of mixed goods in containers and trailers and to put that application in a wider packaging logistic perspective by analysing the effects of an implementation of this application. Purpose: To simplify the order handling process and the purchasi
In 2004, the EU welcomed ten new member states. For two of these newcomers, namely the Czech and the Slovak Republic, the accession process did encounter difficulties as they got haunted by their own history. In both states? constitution, there are decrees, issue from the post-war era, including discriminative regulations against minorities. These decrees, commonly called Bene?-decrees, have been
Purpose: Long-term pain is a public health problem but few studies have focused on experiences among women with CWP. This study aimed to explore women's experiences of the impact of CWP on daily life.Method: The participants were 19 women between 45-67 years old, who had developed CWP between 1995 and 2016. Individual interviews were conducted and analysed with qualitative content analysis.Results
This study examines the conditions for climate-friendly innovation in Region Skåne. It focuses on small companies within the CleanTech-sector with a total annual turnover below 10 MSEK. A short literary study was conducted about the innovation system for Swedish CleanTech-companies in general. Reading material from Region Skåne was also examined. Five interviews was carried out with representative
This master thesis is an attempt to approach the issue of the lack of application of cause advocacy in modern social work practice. The research problem is framed in a way that historical roots of the commitment to social justice in the profession are presented with the further argumentation for the lack of this approach in contemporary social work. A qualitative study has been conducted to fulfil
Background: Most children with Wilms tumour are successfully treated with multidrug chemotherapy and surgery. These treatments cause severe side effects for the patients, an issue that needs to be addressed by exploring other treatment options with less or no side effects. One option is to complement current therapies with agents that could potentially induce tumour cell differentiation, for examp
In this study, I reflect critically on my own experiences as a university teacher of students’ expressed knowledge about the academic subject of didactics at the beginning and end of their first semester as students in the Master’s Programme in Didactics. My reflections are made using a phenomenographic approach to learning, which regards learning as a qualitatively deeper and different way of und
This study investigates the relationship between changes in the frequency of dwell time delays and passenger flow characteristics and the frequency of railway service during the COVID-19 pandemic. To do so we make use of automatic passenger count data from commuter trains in Southern Sweden. Our findings show that the frequency of dwell time delays decreased under COVID-19 conditions compared to t
This chapter takes as its starting point theorizing around nutrition and food system transitions thought to be increasingly occurring in urban Africa, and how this may be linked to a growing non-communicable disease burden. We focus specifically on the secondary city context by analysing household survey data gathered from six cities across Ghana, Kenya and Uganda during 2013–2015. We asked how di
