By using absorption and fluorescence (steady-state and time-resolved) techniques the interaction between a poly(acrylic acid) PAA, randomly grafted with pyrene (Py) units (PAAMePy55) and a triblock copolymer of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(propylene oxide) (EO20PO68EO20, P123) was investigated. From the fluorescence data it is shown that upon addition of P123 a decrease of the (pyrene-pyrene, Py-
In recent years, Skylarks Alauda arvensis have undergone dramatic population declines in many European countries. Evidence exists for deteriorating conditions during the breeding season, but little is known about the situation during the rest of the annual cycle. Here we use two approaches to test if the Dutch breeding population of Skylarks consists of resident and/or migratory individuals. First
One of the most debated political events during 2016 was the referendum regarding the United Kingdom’s future in the European Union. Despite the many warnings received from economists the UK voters voted for ‘leave’, paving the way for Brexit. This thesis reviews some possible alternatives regarding the UK-EU relationship post Brexit and concludes that the economically best case scenario would be
Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of health promoting bacteria in the colon, resulting in homeostasis to the gut environment. It is considered to be the solution of many health-related diseases such as type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Arabinoxylooligosaccharides, the hydrolysis product of arabinoxylan from plant cell w
Mot bakgrund av dels EU-medlemskapet i sig, dels närvaron vid förhandlingsbordet gällande många aktuella rättsakter, framstår Sveriges skyldighet att anpassa sig till EU-rätt i mångt och mycket som legitim. Såväl den överlag EU-positiva befolkningen i Sverige som svenska politiker, tycks i dagsläget ha funnit sig förhållandevis väl i detta landskap. Svenskarna önskar förvisso ett EU utan klåfingriBeing a member of the European Union, Sweden is obliged to comply with EU legislation. This obligation could be considered legitimate, based on Sweden entering the EU through referendum and the fact that Sweden is represented in negotiations leading up to present relevant legislation. The population of Sweden, as well as Swedish politicians, seem to cope with this order in a reasonably well-balanc
Tanken på självkörande bilar har funnits nästan lika länge som det har funnits bilar. Denna uppsats har ämnat utreda vilka rättsekonomiska konsekvenser en skada vållad av ett förarlöst fordon medför samt hur lagstiftningen ur ett de lege ferenda-perspektiv bör vara utformat utifrån rättsekonomiska teorier. Rättsekonomi sträva efter ekonomisk effektivitet. Detta skapar välstånd för individer och vä
The West Bank attracts countless researchers due to the conflict’s intractable label. On one hand, these researchers are drawn to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict due to logistical reasons: accessibility to the area, academic prestige, ample funding, grant and networking opportunities. On the other, researchers are allured due to an Orientalist fascination with conducting fieldwork in the West Ban
Biobased economy is becoming a central strategy to decouple industrial production from fossil feedstock and thus to tackle global warming. Consequently there has been an interest in developing technologies for the production of chemicals, materials, and fuels from renewable bio-based feedstock. This can be achieved thanks to industrial biotechnology and metabolic engineering. Protocatechuic acid (
In his original contribution, Exner's principal concern was a comparison between the properties of different aftereffects, and particularly to determine whether aftereffects of motion were similar to those of color and whether they could be encompassed within a unified physiological framework. Despite the fact that he was unable to answer his main question, there are some excellent-so far unknown-
In 2018, the Swedish government decided to invest 350 million SEK in welfare technology as a response to the increasing population of the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate implementation managers’ descriptions of their work and use of welfare technology. The interviews were conducted at three long-term facilities for the elderly in the municipality of Burlöv, Helsingborg, and Hässl
The concept of the European identity is in this thesis regarded as being expressed as a social, political and cultural activity, constructed and narrativized by the Presidents of the European Commission. The aims of executing the research has been to detect the processual development, constant elements or differences concerning the construction of the concept by the different leaders as well as in
Idrottsrörelsen med fotboll i fokus har kommit att förändra sin struktur avsevärt under 1900-talet. Fotbollen har gått från att vara en ideell verksamhet med syfte att samla de lokala invånarna för att utöva sporten till en miljardindustri inom Europa. EU:s konkurrensregler har kommit att spela en viktig roll för att främja idrottens utveckling samt förhindra att marknaden snedvrids genom ekonomisSport movement especially football has change its structure of the sport drastically during the 20th century. Football has transformed from being a non-profit activity with one of its purpose to gather the locals for a friendly game to a multibillion industry within Europe. EU: s competition law has played a crucial part to maintain the development for sport and to prevent distortion of competitio
The threat of potentially catastrophic climate change has led to 195 countries pledging to keep global average temperature rise well below 2°C based on pre-industrial levels. Wind energy technology has developed to a point where it can make a significant contribution to meeting this objective. A number of countries have developed substantial wind energy networks in recent years which in turn has a
The open and closed forms of ozone and the path connecting them through a transition state, in C-2v symmetry, are explored using the multi-state, multi-configurational second order perturbative method, MS-CASPT2. It is demonstrated that, by using an ANO-L triple-zeta basis set, it is possible to set up an active space able to describe the otherwise troublesome transition state region. Both a conic
Astatine isotopes can be produced in liquid lead-bismuth eutectic targets through proton-induced double charge exchange reactions on bismuth or in secondary helium-induced interactions. Models implemented into the most common high-energy transport codes generally have difficulties to correctly estimate their production yields as was shown recently by the ISOLDE Collaboration, which measured releas
The purpose of this thesis was to explore the sustainability of a renewable village grid micro hydropower project in the Murung Raya district of Central Kalimantan Province, Indonesia, according to indicators for five dimensions of sustainability: economic, environmental, social, technical, and institutional. The theoretical discussion and subsequent analytical framework are rooted in dimensions o
