När uppfinningar berör det lågteknologiska området, såsom det mekaniska, utgörs genomsnittsfackmannen av maximalt två personer. Är komplexitetsnivån hos uppfinningen dessutom relativt låg pekar studien på att genomsnittsfackmannen sannolikt utgörs av en person. En god vana när det gäller att avgöra erforderlig kunskapsnivå hos fackmannen är då att snegla på hur teknikerna i realiteten arbetar inomRegarding the area of low technologies, i.e. the mechanical, the person skilled in the art consists of two persons. If the level of complexity of the invention is low, this study indicates that the person skilled in the art consists of only one person. Preferably, when determining the level of knowledge of the skilled person, one should glance at the technicians in the relevant field and the knowl

Risk communication is an interactive process which aims to reduce public concerns about health- and environmental risks through gaining trust and confidence. PFASs (Polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances) is more addressed today amongst Swedish municipalities because there are concern for surface- and groundwater pollution and concern about long-term health risks. This study aims to invest

This thesis project has been conducted in collaboration with Cenito AB, a software-developing company based in Malmö. Cenito has currently a responsive website, a SPA (Single Page Application). A responsive website implies that the size and appearance adapts to the unit that is trying to access the site. This site is being used by Cenito as a basis or first building block for other application tha

Syfte: Studien undersöker vilken information klassificering i subformer av Lindriga kognitiva symptom (MCS) och depressions- och ångestsymptom tillför den diagnostiska prediktionen av Alzheimers sjukdom (AS) för patienter med MCS. Metod: Patienterna (N = 417) var mellan 60 och 80 år och hade subjektiva och/ eller objektiva lindriga kognitiva symptom, men uppfyllde inte diagnoskriterier för demenssAims: The study investigates what information classification of Mild Cognitive Symptoms (MCS) subtype and symptoms of depression and anxiety add to the diagnostic prediction of Alzheimer's disease (AD) for MCS-patients. Method: Patients (N = 417), ranging between 60 and 80 years old, had subjective and/ or objective mild cognitive symptoms, but did not meet diagnostic criteria for dementia at

In this thesis, InGaAs fins with vertical sidewalls consisting of {110} facets were epitaxially grown on InP(111)B substrates using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. A lithography patterned hydrogen silsesquixane growth mask was used to promote the formation of vertical {110} facets during the growth. The relative growth rate of the {111B} and {110} facets was controlled by the input V/III ratio i

Air pollution has become an urgent issue that affecting public health and people’s daily life in China. Social media as potential air quality sensors to surveil air pollution is emphasized recently. In this research, we picked up a case-2013 Eastern China smog and focused on two of the most popular Chinese microblog platforms Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo. The purpose of this study is to determine

This thesis aims at developing and evaluating a model for high frequency foreign exchange data, that beats the TWAP benchmark the majority of the time. This is done by dividing the total order time into smaller time buckets and trading a smaller quantity of the total order volume in each bucket. The second purpose of the thesis is to determine if there is an optimal bucket size in which to trade i

It is common knowledge that shading systems and solar control glasses are used to avoid glare and overheating at expenses of daylight. In Dynamic Thermal Modelling tools, there is no assessment method where the shading use is expressed when predicting the building performance. Furthermore, literature often refers to studies where complex fenestration systems are optimized for specific cases. Howev

Illicit organ markets coincides with medical advancements and greater global interconnectedness. Many organ vendors come from poor socioeconomic backgrounds and are coerced into the sale which lacks the altruistic notion often associated with transplantation. This is a case study based on a literature review with a focus on Sudanese migrants in Cairo, Egypt. The purpose of this study is to investi

Denna uppsats handlar om hur bildspråk och metaforer kan användas i fysikläromedel på högstadiet. Syftet var att undersöka bildspråket i två olika läromedel och deras respektive lättlästa versioner. Bildspråksidentifikationen har gjorts utifrån definitionen av att tala om en sak i form av en annan. I analysen undersöks didaktiskt medvetna metaforer och hur dessa omarbetas till lättläst. Bildspråk

I denna uppsats behandlas den aktuella och pågående debatten gällande det kontroversiella beslutet om att fotbolls-VM ska hållas i Qatar 2022. Syftet med denna uppsats är att redogöra de olika ställningstaganden för eller emot bojkott utav fotbolls-VM i Qatar 2022 utifrån åtta stycken svenska artiklar. Genom en argumentationsanalys har åtta artiklar analyserats för att klargöra artiklarnas olika s

Cementstabiliserad asfalt (CSA) är ett kompositslitlager bestående av en asfaltbeläggning med högt hålrum som är fyllt med en cementbaserad slamma. Produkten kan därför kallas för ett semiflexibelt slitlager på grund av att egenskaper från både asfalt och betong kombineras. Egenskaperna som kännetecknar CSA är asfaltens elasticitet samt cementens bärighet och beständighet, hög motståndskraft mot kCement stabilized asphalt (CSA) is a composite layer consisting of an asphalt with high cavity which is filled with a cement-based slurry. The product can therefore be called a semiflexible wearing course because of its combined characteristics from both asphalt and concrete. The characteristic features of CSA are the asphalts elasticity and the cements buoyancy and resistance, high resistance aga

This study investigates how the political will for strengthening resilience has developed within the city of Bristol, focusing on how this is shaped by factors at local, national and international scales. Thematic analysis of Bristol City Council policy documents and interviews with participants from a range of different organisations throughout the city are used to gather data. The findings are a

In Sweden, what we eat accounts for about a third of the consumption-based greenhouse gas emissions, and there is strong evidence that the most effective way to reduce emissions is to switch to a more plant-based diet. A shift is currently underway in the Swedish food system; the market for plant-based products is showing an exponential growth, coupled with, for the first time since the 1950s, a d

The purpose of this study was to analyze how Retuna Återbruksgalleria by using Nudging, a behavioural theory, could operate as an environmental educator and attain a sustainable consumer which together could result in competitiveness on the market. Four different nudging tools was analyzed; simplification and framing of information, changes in the physical environment, the default option and the u

The growing number of African Presidents on Twitter affirms that media, in all its forms, will always play a fundamental role in contemporary politics. Moreover, based on its face value, the presence of Presidents on Twitter could suggest that citizens are gaining unprecedented access to their president. But, this thesis contends that the newness of Twitter should not blind us into thinking that t
