Christian slaves and their view on the others A comparative analysis of European captivity narratives in Northern Africa during the eighteenth century In the 18 th century, several hundred thousand Europeans were captives in Northern Africa. They represented different nationalities and religions. During the same period, there were numerous conflicts based on religion, and the balance of power be
Heterologous overexpression of proteins signifies that the encoding gene of a protein in one organism is expressed in another host organism that normally does not have that gene in its genome. In basic biochemical research, this is an important method for studying various protein functions such as activity and interactions in biological processes, as well as obtaining sufficient amounts to determi
With the rapid production of sportswear and its price advantage, consumption has also increased significantly, which has a rather negative impact on the environment, society, and the economy. Fashion retailers and their consumers are also well aware of this, and their demands for sustainable fashion have had a strong impact on the production of sportswear and consumer behaviour in recent years. Su
Recent years have seen digitalisation entangled in everyday life; with the broader context of a digitalised world, one can no longer see the digitalised retail space and its technological artefacts as a lone-standing phenomena. Instead, it is necessary to see digitalisation as way of understanding and being in the modern world. This paper explores the practices and subsequent meanings in the use o
I ett hållbart samhälle är tillgänglighet en viktig förutsättning för alla, oavsett deras bakgrund. Det finns olika komponenter som ingår inom begreppet tillgänglighet. En av dessa komponenter handlar om transportmöjligheten, att man ska ha möjlighet att transportera sig till olika punkter med minsta möjliga reseuppoffring. Detta kan uppnås med hjälp av kollektivtrafiken, eftersom kollektivtrafik In a sustainable society accessibility is vital and should be provided for everyone, regardless of their background. There are different components within accessibility as a concept. One of these components is transport, which has to do with the ability to transport to different destinations with minimum sacrifice. This can be achieved with public transport, because it’s available for everyone and
The purpose of this report is to investigate a branch and bound algorithm designed to construct monotone smoothing splines. The splines are defined as the solution of a minimization problem, where one wants to find a curve with non-negative derivative everywhere, that fits a data set consisting of points in the plane, while also being sufficiently smooth. The report describes the theory necessary
The common carotid artery (CCA), the artery that supplies our brains with oxygen, is of great importance in stroke research. The usual way to monitor the artery is by using ultrasound (US) imaging. An automated way of segmenting out the arteries from the US images is desired to optimize research. With an upswing in development of convolutional neural networks (CNN), this is now possible. CNN uses
The presence of social media has led to the emergence of deception patterns based on social media characteristics which all influence its users. Social media is the new norm in society and the service providers there continue to struggle with addressing these patterns as well as try to protect their users from being influenced by deception based on social media characteristics. In this study, we d
Titel: Tricket är att försöka komma på vad som finns under ytan - En kvalitativ studie om den psykosociala arbetsmiljön utifrån värde. Författare: Linnea Svensson och Sanna Bengtsson. Handledare: Elin Bommenel. Nivå: Kandidatuppsats i Service Management, Lund Universitet, Campus Helsingborg. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att analysera och skapa en förståelse över den psykosociala arbetsmilj
För att kunna utföra naturvård i stadsmiljö krävs kunskap om de arter som vistas där och hur de påverkas av mänskliga aktiviteter. Exempelvis har det i Malmö varit ont om studier på övervintrande sjöfåglar, utöver de som berör kust-och hamnområden. Därför har i denna studie 14 dammar och sjöar i Malmö inventerats i februari 2020 och resultatet testats mot lokalernas storlek och olika mått på störn
Seagrass meadows are ecosystem engineers providing several ecosystems services, of which the maintenance of marine biodiversity may be of greatest importance. However, these meadows are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth due to anthropogenic stressors such as eutrophication, overfishing, near-shore coastal development and climate change. To investigate the importance of seagrass for sha
The quantum mechanical equivalent of the classical Hall effect can lead to interesting results in solid state physics. A similar effect, that has received attention in recent years, occurs when large spin-orbit coupling is present in a material, the so-called quantum-spin Hall effect. In two-dimensional materials it leads to so-called helical edge states that exhibit counter-propagating electron s
Increasing CO2 emissions are impacting the environment negatively. There is a common under-standing that the overconsumption of natural resources is no longer acceptable. In Sweden, within the transport sector, heavy and light trucks make up for a large portion of the emis-sions. One way to tackle climate change and reach ecological sustainability, perhaps the most crucial one, is by implementing
The invention of the integrated circuit is a key milestone in the history of electronic circuits. Since its introduction the number of components on a chip have increased rapidly, making them more powerful and able to perform complex operations, but it has also changed the design process. Today different parts of a chip can be developed separately as Intellectual Property (IP) and then put togethe
Syftet med studien var att skapa en fördjupad och nyanserad bild av hur yrkesverksamma musiker uppfattar och känner inför tinnitus som fenomen, och de potentiella konsekvenser som tinnitus skulle kunna ha i olika aspekter av livet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med åtta professionella musiker. En tematisk analys genomfördes, och fem övergripande teman med tio underkategorier identifieraThe purpose of this study was to create a deepened and nuanced understanding of how professional musicians experience and feel about tinnitus as a phenomenon, and the potential consequences tinnitus could have in different aspects of life. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight professional musicians. Thematic analysis was conducted, and five overarching themes with ten sub-categorie
Slow sand filters (SSF) are biofilters which utilize the metabolic potential of complex biofilms to remove contaminants, such as harmful chemicals, organic carbon and pathogenic bacteria, from drinking water. This study presents the first analysis of fungal internally transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences in samples from two newly constructed and one established SSF, all of which underwent a removal
Titel: En studie av matstaden Malmö - från post-kockumsk depression till hållbar foodie-destination - Matkultur som verktyg för destinationsutveckling Universitet: Lunds Universitet, Campus Helsingborg, Institutionen för Service Management Kurs: KSMK65: Examensarbete för kandidatexamen Författare: Robert Simonsson och Linus Svensson Handledare: Malin Andersson Nyckelord: Matkultur, gastronomi, des
Cubosomes are nanoparticles that are prepared by dispersing a liquid crystalline cubic phase. Typically, the cubosomes are stabilized by copolymers to prevent the colloids from aggregating. In this thesis galactoglucomannans (GGM) from softwood was evaluated as a stabilizer for monoolein cubosomes and triolein emulsions. Galactoglucomannans are the most abundant hemicellulose in softwood and have
