In this thesis project, properties and factors that are involved in the fractionation of wood when using deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been investigated. The project is based on an earlier project that was conducted at RISE Processum in Örnsköldsvik and the results from that is the foundation for trials in this project. In that first project, five different DES were used (Oxalic acid, Lactic
This thesis examines the possible transjudicial interaction that may arise between the ICC and the IACtHR with regard to the interpretation of the crime of enforced disappearance of persons. This potential scenario of jurisprudential cross-fertilisation is considered on the fact that both, the IACtHR and the ICC exercise jurisdiction ratione materiae over the crime of enforced disappearance, there
During the past few years the focus on bioprocess monitoring and control has increased. An area still under intensive development is the sampling methods for efficient and rapid analysis during fermentations. In this thesis, an online-sampling and monitoring scheme was developed using the versatile automated continuous flow system (VersAFlo) for recombinant protein production. From the implementat
Fem Nyckelord: CSR, SME, U-formad teori, resurstillgång, hållbarhet Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera hur små och medelstora bolag definierar CSR och varför de engagerar sig. Metod: Studien bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi med semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Ambitionen är att ha en deduktiv forskningsansats, dock med en del induktiva inslag. Teoretiska perspektiv: Studiens teoret
Knowledge acquired through ecosystem service valuations can provide valuable information to stakeholders making land-use decisions. Effective use of ecosystem service valuation knowledge with a cost-benefit analysis can create resilient social-ecological systems. There is an increasing number of valuations being conducted, yet only one third of the studies are thought to be used in some form to ai
I föreliggande studie undersöks översättningen av anföringsverb, det vill säga verb som markerar yttrande, och deras förhållande till översättarens övergripande översättningsstrategi. Anföringsverben är hämtade från Nikolaj Gogols Mertvye Duši (sv. Döda själar) på ryska samt från två översättningar; Sören Rydströms neutraliserande och expliciterande text från 1948 och Staffan Skotts källtextnära f
Abstract This master thesis investigates how more value can be created by digitally visualize the saved data of GGzE (Mental Health care Eindhoven). GGzE collects a lot of data about their clients and they believe that more value can be created from it. The Dutch government, as well as the European commission, is striving for more e-health. By 2019 the Dutch government wants 80% of the ch
A disaster is not just natural but largely of social and political origin. To be effective, an early warning system must therefore be viewed as a social process with a strong focus on the people at risk. This contrasts with the conventional view on an early warning system that it is a pure engineering and technological solution, following a linear chain from observation to dissemination of warning
This essay investigates the ways of convergence of the spectacle with the surveillance, as suggested by Thomas Mitchell and Nicholas Mirzoeff. In order to ground their suggested theory in concrete visual empirical cases, I situate my analysis in the Palestinian territories. I juxtapose ostensibly disparate visual phenomena deriving from the street art and the military visualizing technologies. The
How do practices of migration, consumption and gender mutually shape each other in contemporary society? In this thesis, I am trying to partly address some aspects of this question by examining the consumption practices of Ukrainian migrant mothers in Sweden. Drawing on conceptual frames of gendered geographies of power and employing a practice theory as a meta-theoretical approach, I conducted fo
Every year, over 1000 young people receive care through LVU. LVU is compulsive care and in each LVU case a judgment is written, where the decision on LVU is taken. My essay is about these judgements. I will analyze these judgement with the method discourse analysis.
Den här uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i en översättning av andra kapitlet ur den populärvetenskapliga boken Dinner with Darwin av Jonathan Silvertown. Uppsatsen inleds med en källtextanalys och en redogörelse för den globala strategi som har använts vid översättningen. Därefter följer en översättningsanalys som behandlar översättningen av ett för källtexten typiskt pedagogiskt grepp som här benäm
With modern day interest to continue the reduction of harmful emissions and improve the efficiency of combustion devices, the need to further improve upon accuracy and ability to describe combustive processes is of high value. Nowadays, multiple capable point (0D) and two-dimensional measurement (2D) techniques exist for flame investigation, however as combustion nearly always is a three-dimension
In the last couple of decades in Sweden, there has been an adoption of “workfare”-oriented policy approaches to unemployment (as opposed to the former, less conditioned welfare-oriented ones). Consequently, labour market policies more and more have started to encompass the Social Services Department (in Swedish; “socialtjänsten”). In Scandinavia, active labour market policies are commonly referred
This study examines minimally altered catchments in Europe and North America in order to determine whether any changes to the dynamics of flooding have occurred due to changes in the climate. By examining the parameters of the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distributions of in- dividual catchments it is possible to determine not just if changes in flood patterns have occurred, but also the nature
Architects not so often focus on playgrounds. Indeed, it is a huge field, full of challenge and curiosity. The aim of this work is to design a playground, that would encourage children to stay outdoors enjoying the most interesting forms of play. Having studied the routes and the major aspects of playgrounds design, I decided not to impose a fixed form of organisation. Instead, an instrument was s
There are a lot of “non-design” areas which have a big influence on design and design strategy. These are things like business, manufacturing, marketing, economics etc. . If a designer fails to understand the impact of these parameters, even the greatest design may result in a mediocre product. In order to be able to create excellent products, it’s crucial that the designer takes part in th
This thesis analyzes how mindfulness is translated into a business concept for the organizational realm in Bogotá, Colombia. How does an originally “mystic”, eastern esoteric concept like mindfulness manage to travel into and adapt to a material Western setting, specifically Bogotá? Previous research on mindfulness in businesses often analyzes it as an accepted tool for executives and organization
The presence of Nano particles in food is a topic that have gain much attention lately. The aim of this study is to investigate the aggregation behavior of nano silica under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled with several detectors. Major part of this work is to find a suitable condition for the experiments. With measurements of Z-pote
