Kubosomer är nanopartiklar där den inre strukturen är uppbyggd av ett dubbellager av fettmolekyler som omsluter en tredimensionell struktur av vattenkanaler. Denna unika struktur gör att nanopartiklarna kan lastas med hydrofoba, hydrofila och amfifila molekyler. Detta gör dem lovande för bland annat läkemedelsadministration. Kubosomer är i sig själva inte kolloidalt stabila utan aggregerar i en vaCubosomes 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

The aim of this thesis is to study the development of the women shelters movement in Sweden, connected to the inclusion of LGBTQ people in their understanding of violence in intimate relationships. Historically the movement is based on a radical feminist notion where categories like sex are at the core, which is still affecting the work being done today. As method for the thesis, I have conducted

The purpose of the thesis is to analyse the EU’s and CJEU’s approach towards exit taxes by finding guidance on how the exit tax rules shall be made to be considered as compatible with the requirements of EU law. The EU law’s presumption of establishing an internal market without boundaries at the frontiers prohibits national measures which hinder, inter alia, the market access. Therefore, the EU’s

Having spent so many of my free hours immersed in the worlds of translated fiction, I set out to create a research project designed to better understand the entanglements of the imagination behind this art. This thesis aims to explore how literary translators construct their identity and how multiple forces create instability in the professional self. It continues to dissect how these identities b

Legitimacy has been a key concept in political philosophy since Plato’s Republic. In this degree project I examine the way in which Shakespeare portrays royal legitimacy in seven of his History plays: Richard II, Henry IV parts I-II, Henry V and Henry VI parts I-III. The objective is to examine the representation of two aspects of royal legitimacy and how they relate to each other: the inheritance

Around the 150th anniversary in 1998, historical research showed new interest for the wave of revolutions that swept across Europe in 1848. This research focused on providing a new European frame of interpretation for the events in 1848, questioning the exclusive national historiographical traditions of European history, a field of study already formed by the works of Jean-Baptiste Duroselle in 19

The rapid growth of China’s economic influence in the Economic Community of Western Africa (ECOWAS) in recent decades has raised concerns about its impact on many aspects of economic development in the region. One issue is the potential negative impact on intra-regional trade, as the influx of Chinese imports could harm local industries while the growing commodity exports to China could reinforce

In 2017 the Swedish government initiated a digitalisation process of the Swedish education system by revising the curriculums (Lgr11) to emphasise the importance of digital competence. An ambitious commitment at a national level, however leaving the schools with a great question mark regarding how the digitalisation should be implemented in real practice. Drawing on action research from a Swedish

Om vi ska avleda de värsta effekterna av klimatkrisen måste vi hålla oss inom gränserna för vår globala koldioxidbudget. Precis som att vi dagligen förhåller oss till vår hushållsbudget, måste våra utsläpp återspegla det vi har kvar på vårt ”klimatkonto”. Kommuner är i behov av ett verktyg för att översätta vad det globala åtagandet i Parisavtalet innebär lokalt. Kommunala koldioxidbudgetar är idaWe have a limited amount of greenhouse gases left to emit, our global carbon budget, if we are to divert the worst effects of the climate crisis. This study aimed to map how municipalities implement carbon-budgeting in their efforts to fulfil the Paris agreement, and investigate why the instrument is not more frequently used. A survey among Swedish municipalities was carried out, in two stages. A

The conventional method to manufacture prosthetic arms is a time-\\consuming and complicated process. It is a process that has many manual steps that allow much room for human errors. With today's technology advancement it is possible to offer a more efficient technology that can replace the conventional manufacturing method of prostheses. This master thesis aims to develop a new way of manufa

För att fånga den perfekta bilden krävs rätt ljus och timing, men det finns även mycket annat som kan hjälpa dig när du fotograferar. Fotografering är en prylhobby och även hobbyfotografer har en tendens att samla på sig diverse gadgets. Jonas Lundin var en av dessa hobbyfotografer som kände att han saknade en produkt på marknaden. En produkt där han kunde ha sina kameraobjektiv mer lättillgänglig

Vi har lyckats utveckla en metod för att utvinna glukos ur kasserade bomullstyger, som i sin tur kan användas för att producera nya kemikalier och biobränslen. På så vis kan vi hjälpa textilindustrin att bli betydligt mer hållbar. Mycket av kläderna i min garderob är begagnade, det beror delvis på att jag gillar känslan när man lyckas hitta något oväntat trevligt fynd, men också för att återanvänLarge amounts of waste textiles are produced annually, of which only a small fraction is recycled currently. The purpose of this study was to develop a method to recycle cotton-based waste textiles chemically that can be coupled to the production of biofuels or green chemicals. Bedlinens, labeled 100% cotton, were dissolved and hydrolyzed in sulfuric acid to produce a glucose solution without the

With the implementation of the Fundamental Review of the Trading Book in January of 2022, financial institutions will be obligated to implement Expected Shortfall as a means of determining market risk capital. With the transition from Value at Risk to Expected Shortfall, the question of how to accurately forecast Expected Shortfall arises. This paper investigates the forecasting ability of non-par

Purpose: We aim to develop a deeper understanding of non-managerial organisations by exploring the implications of this way of organising on the identification processes and professional identity of consultants. Theoretical Background: In our theoretical background, we highlight previous literature on different aspects of identity and identification as well as the interrelation of these topics w

Background. In the past years, there has been a major shift towards the consumption of healthier, more sustainable, and more convenient food products. These trends have triggered a response from the food industry, instigating the reformulation of several products. The challenge is removing or replacing certain ingredients, without sacrificing certain elements such as taste, texture, or shelf-life.

This study maps the intersection of homelessness and migration in Europe by focusing on Italy and Sweden; in the study, ‘Europe’ is defined by the Schengen Common Area Agreement, by the Common European Asylum System and by the Dublin Regulation. Using Kimberlé Crenshaw’s Intersectionality as one of its main theoretical reference points, the study argues that different dimensions of power relations

Building functional and effective railway station infrastructures has become a strategy to encourage sustainable mobility. Addressing on commuters, this thesis aims to investigate how station infrastructures frame commuters' commuting experience. Departing from the theory of rites of passage by Victor Turner, this thesis draws on autoethnography, interviews with six Øresund commuters and obser

Gender diversity has gained a lot of attention in the corporate governance literature, reaching conflicting results whether board gender diversity has an impact on financial performance. As a consequence, we set out to investigate how board gender diversity affects financial performance through innovation using a mediation technique. We constructed three hypotheses grounded in the resource depende
