Sealing of the transverse seal (TS) represents a fundamental step in the assembling of aseptic packages. To prevent the package from being penetrated by gases and pathogens the TS must be tightly sealed. An understanding of the conditions that influence the flow and deformation of polymers is instrumental to designing sealing systems that are reliable and effective. This thesis was focused on cons
This research explains the distribution of rewards within the innovative economic practice of online motorcycle taxi services in Indonesia. Those analyzed are online transportation platforms and their driver-partners. These two are analyzed using the theoretical framework of the innovation economy, which is conceptualized as cumulative, uncertain, and collective economic processes by Mariana Mazzu
This essay focuses on the phenomenon of the new man and new masculinity and how it is used and described in fashion articles. The phenomenon points at something new but within a historical context we see that the new man goes back in history. The aim of this essay is to find what the new man and its new masculinity is today according to fashion journalism. The empirical data consists of ten fashio
Syftet med den här studien har varit att tolka hur unga män i åldern 18–24 år utifrån emotionssociologisk synvinkel upplever känslan av rädsla och trygghet, och hur de utifrån ett genusperspektiv talar om känslor. Vidare har studien undersökt vad som bidrar till de unga männens känsla av rädsla och trygghet. Detta har gjorts genom en kvalitativ metod i form av fem semi strukturerade intervjuer med
Abstract The utilization of one-carbon compounds, such as methanol, as a feedstock for production of high value compounds is a fast developing area within cell factory engineering. Methanol is a cheap and easily stored compound, which can be produced from CO2 and renewable energy. Engineering microbial cell factories for utilization of methanol could therefore contribute to decreasing the amounts
Society and companies are becoming increasingly digitized. If you compare company structures historically and today you will see some palpable differences. Today, there are companies that work almost exclusively digitally. Therefore, a new focus is created on assets that lack physical form, that is intangible assets. These are dealt with today within the accounting regulations and practices, but t
Sweden is at the forefront of becoming the first country with a net zero emission by 2045. Achieving this ambitious goal requires a multi faceted approach, incorporating a wide variety of both technological and societal advances. Within the realm of accomplishing a more environmentally friendly energy usage, smart metering is key. Sweden is rolling out a second generation of smart meters, targetin
Den sociala samlingsplatsen i staden är en av de absolut viktigaste komponenterna i uppbyggandet av urbana strukturer och skapandet av urbana miljöer. Offentliga platser är stadens vardagsrum. Här formas det kollektiva urbana livet och komplexa sociala interaktioner som är vitala för stadslivets existens. Men i takt med teknologins större påverkan i människans liv har vårt samhälle utvecklats åt dThe social public space is without a doubt one of the most important components that make up the city. These spaces are considered anchors of community life and facilitate and foster broader, more creative interaction between people. But with advancing technology we are witnessing a change in the way humans interact with people becoming more private therefore resulting in an increasingly secluded
The European Green Deal is an example of a growth-oriented environmental policy approach. However, from the perspective of Degrowth, the narrative of unlimited growth is criticized. Therefore, this thesis analyses resistant texts in reaction to the set of environmental policy initiatives proposed by the European Green Deal. To address the underlying power relations that constitute a dependency on
In this project, calculations for the total binding energy of all even-even nuclei available from experimental data are performed using the HFBTHO program. An artificial neural network is applied to train the information obtained from the HFBTHO calculations and predict the binding energy for the nuclei. The results show impressive improvements to the HFBTHO program. In recent years, the combinati
Abstract Introduction. The Brain is an amazingly complex piece of biological hardware, capable of massive information processing. It relies heavily on the delicate interactions between huge distributed networks to work properly. When these interactions are altered there can be any number of consequences. These carefully tuned networks are largely dependent on the internal interaction of multiple g
This study investigates the correlation between the US stock market, oil prices, gold prices and the stock markets of five emerging markets: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS), in order to explore the risk spillovers and the financial contagion between the markets. A DCC-GJR-GARCH model is applied to daily data of returns from January 2000 to April 2020 and considers both a full
Tröger’s base is a chiral molecule with a unique V-shaped cavity. The molecules can be fused together in a linear fashion to form either tubular structures or zigzag structures. These structures can be applicable in different fields. Following this, linear fused tris-Tröger’s base analogue has been synthesized, following a nine- step synthetic route. Furthermore, characterizations of the reaction
In today's data driven society the world is at a point of information overload. As people rely on Google for information and other platforms such as Netflix and Spotify for entertainment, the need for relevant filtering of content has never been higher. As a result, recommendation systems have seen a great surge in demand. One can divide the space of recommendation algorithms into primarily tw
This thesis purpose is to look at British media’s coverage of Chinese developmental involvement in Africa, particularly at how the most-read newspapers in the UK have written about the situation, and how they have used media framing when reporting on it. As media can have an enormous impact on people’s perception of certain situations, this paper’s aim is to analyse the media discourse and offer a
Rivningarna I svenska stadskärnor efter andra världskriget, de så kallade saneringarna, är kontroversiella. Utan att gå in för djupt på ämnet så finns det olika typer av berättigande och olika grader av omfattning av rivningarna. Ibland rev man enskilda fastigheter som dömts ut, ibland var det slumbebyggelse och ibland var det stora stenhus som hade gått att renovera och höja standarden på. De mes
Studiens syfte var att undersöka psykodynamiska terapeuters upplevelser i psykoterapi med patienter med psykossjukdom. Sex semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Materialet analyserades med tolkande fenomenologisk analys (IPA), vilket resulterade i fyra huvudteman: Terapeutens egen resa, En avlägsen och skör destination, Att mötas på en gemensam arena samt Smittor och resevaccin. Terapeuterna bThe purpose of this study was to explore psychodynamic therapists' experiences in psychotherapy with patients suffering from psychosis. Six semi-structured interviews were conducted. The material was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, resulting in four main themes: The therapist’s own journey, A distant and fragile destination, Meeting in a mutual arena and Contagions and

In 2019, a national incident operation was introduced by the Swedish police to reduce gun-shootings in public space, and to achieve public safety and security. The operation - known as Operation Rimfrost - introduced a new intelligence-based method to combat crime, which involved the use of different surveillance technologies in public space. "From a social space analysis perspective of Opera
