Vi utsätts dagligen för en mängd främmande kemikalier, varav vissa är skadliga både för miljön och folkhälsan. Ett exempel är ämnen som orsakar allergiska hudsjukdomar och som är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till arbetsrelaterade sjukdomar inom vissa yrken. Det är därför viktigt att utveckla effektiva metoder för att identifiera och begränsa förekomsten av dessa skadliga ämnen i ett tidigt skede.It is widely recognized that exposure to harmful chemicals can affect our health. Allergic contact dermatitis is an allergic skin disease and one of the most common work-related diseases in today’s society. It can be caused by numerous substances, including rubber chemicals. They can be particularly problematic since many professions have daily contact with rubber chemicals, e.g., by wearing dispo

The purpose of this project was to study the impact of three different protein systems on the physicochemical stability of alcohol-containing emulsions. Egg yolk plasma, sodium caseinate and whey protein isolate (WPI) were used for that purpose. For this reason, the solubility of the three protein systems in the presence of different levels of ethanol was first determined. Oil–in–water emulsions (

Inom fastighetsrätten är begreppet fastighet centralt. Fastighetsrätten utgår ibland från fastighet och ibland från andra begrepp så som brukningsenhet, tomt och värderingsenhet. Ibland används begreppen som synonymer till fastighet vilket försvårar tolkningar av diverse lagar. Jordabalken definierar vad en fastighet är och fastighetsbildningslagen anger hur fastigheter bildas och ändras. Plan- oIn Swedish real estate law, the concept of real property is central. Real estate law sometimes refers to real property and sometimes to other concepts such as farm unit, plot, and valuation unit. Sometimes the terms are used as synonyms for real property, which complicates the interpretation of various laws due to conceptual confusion. An example of conceptual confusion is when owners of real pro

The relationship between state and civil society organisations is a well studied area within the field of political science in the Swedish contemporary political context. While the focus has previously largely been on producer-organisations and their politically privileged position, the resent additional focus has been on the civil society organisation defined by social-movements-oriented organisa

The aim of this thesis is to design two patch antenna arrays for dual-frequency harmonic radar application, one for the transmitter and the other for the receiver. The arrays are used to track the Bogong moth that migrates from the countryside to the Australian Alps during spring. The tracking is done at the radar by operating the transmitter at one frequency and the receiver at twice the frequenc

The more urgent the climate crisis become, the more responsibility is placed on individuals to reduce their carbon emissions and become ‘sustainable consumers’. If individuals are given such a responsibility, it is important to examine whether they perceive that they can fulfill it. This thesis main aim is therefore to qualitatively examine how and to what degree income impacts people’s perceived

This study investigates the European Union’s self-perception as a global climate leader and contrasts it with the underrepresented African perspective on the EU’s role in international climate negotiations. Using a role-theoretical framework, the research analyses different leadership types and qualities, comparing European and African perceptions of the EU’s involvement in multilateral climate ch

This essay is about trust in the police organization at two time periods, the mid - and late 1990s and 2010s. In these periods the national polls pointed at a weaker experienced trust in the police compared to other time periods. Trust in the national institutions is of importance to the democratic system. National polls are however very seldom complemented by studies based on qualitative methods

This study explores how a contemporary systemic shift regarding secrecy and intelligence is affecting the strategic performance of states engaged in overt or covert intervention. These changes are conceptualized by researchers as “implausible deniability”, “delayed disclosure” and “the democratization of intelligence” and their significance are applied to limited-war theory with a theoretical focu

Agreements with SKR (Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions) have emerged as a significant steering instrument for the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs (MHSA). The agreements define activities for the Local Authorities to carry out and nearly always include earmarked grants. No study has yet explained why agreements are utilized as a steering instrument. Therefore, this study se

The newer spectral bands in millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) spectrum over the last few years have made higher data rates possible and improved quality of service for the users, but it possesses new challenges to design spectral agile radios. Power Amplifiers (PA) are a crucial analog component connected to Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas which inherits non-linear effects. In addition, PA’

Accelerated deforestation represents a major global environmental concern. Over the last decades Cambodia has experienced a drastic decrease in forest cover and measures to halt deforestation have not been as effective as planned. In order to support reforestation, as well as appropriate sustainable forest management practices, two aspects need to be taken into account: (a) the ecosystem functioni

Hur snabbt sjunker din skit? "Hur snabbt sjunker din skit?"- är faktiskt rätt bokstavligen vad som har undersökts i detta exjobbet där inkommande partiklar på ett avloppsreningsverk har karakteriserats efter deras sedimenteringshastighet. Resultaten visar att fördelningen av hastigheter skiljde sig från ett reningsverk till ett annat. En modell av försedimenteringen baserad på en fördelThe primary settling tank (PST) is often one of the first treatment steps at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and is the first process in the plant to remove significant amounts of suspended solids. Its role in wastewater treatment however, has oftentimes been neglected and little effort has been made to optimize and model the process. The PSTs have historically been designed based on hydraulic

The protein biomarker expressions in three types of sampled immune INFILTration spatial niches in lung cancer tissue were measured using the new technology Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The three types of immune INFILTration that were observed in lung tumors were STROMA identified as immune cells separate from tumor cells, Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) identified as dense structures of orga

I studien har jag kommit att undersöka samverkan mellan fritidshemmet och skolans musikundervisning. Syftet med studien är att identifiera vilka förutsättningar skola och fritidshem har för att samverka med musik, samt att undersöka musik- och fritidslärares möjligheter och hinder i samverkan med musik. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med fyra verksamma lärare, två fritidslärare och två musiklärare, In this study, I have come to investigate the interaction between the leisure-time center and the school’s music education. The purpose of the study is to identify the prerequisites that schools and leisure-time centers have for cooperation with music, as well as investigating the possibilities and obstacles of music teachers and leisure-time teachers in cooperation with music. Through qualitative

As the global population continues to grow and the demand for clean drinking water in-creases, the importance of a functioning water distribution network becomes evident. In the design and planning phase of a distribution network, a hydraulic model is a helpful tool for predicting consequences of an action and defining vulnerable parts of a network.

This paper examines caryatides in Greek architecture from the Archaic period to the Hellenistic period. The focus of this study is the functions, contexts, and symbolic meanings of the caryatides. Regarding the contexts, the caryatides were first used in the archaic period on the Cnidian treasury and, shortly thereafter on the Siphnian treasury, both in Delphi. In the classical period, the caryati

The main topic of this thesis is the storage location assignment problem, which can also be seen as a traveling salesman problem. The objective is to find the shortest path between items to be picked at a medium-sized warehouse. Orders come in batches consisting of items that will be assembled in-house. Therefore, it is essential to pick up all the items contained in the batch before they are drop
