In circular accelerators, and in storage rings in particular, charged particles are kept in a closed orbit for a very long time by means of a magnet lattice. When the particle beam is bent by the magnetic field it emits light, which decreases the particle beam energy by an amount equal to the radiated energy. Over many bends in the magnets and many turns in the machine, these relatively small ener
Purpose: With our study we aim to uncover the gendered nature of personal branding by exploring the phenomenon from women’s perspectives. Theoretical Framework: Our study draws on theory from scholarly literature on gender in organizations and personal branding as well as on popular personal branding literature. Methodology: Locating our qualitative research in the interpretive and critical femini
One of many possible applications for membranes in industries is to separate valuable products from wastewater. However, usage of membranes inevitably leads to fouling. Fouling means that the treated solution affects the membrane and causes a permanent decrease of the permeate flux. That means that the membrane requires cleaning so that the flux can be restored and the full potential of the membra
Formaldehyde is an important chemical which is used as an intermediate and for the production of urea-formaldehyde, which is used in the production of plywood. The purpose of this report is to investigate to how impurities in methanol, that is the raw material in formaldehyde production, will affect the production. This report have mainly looked at how the impurities affect the by-products. This p
Currently the production cost of lignocellulosic ethanol is considered to be relatively high. Large fractions of the production cost come from the raw material and the energy consumed in the distillation. Therefore it is desirable to have a process that yields high concentration of ethanol and maximizes the utilization of the biomass. Wheat straw is a promising raw material for lignocellulosic eth
Athletic sportswear brands endorse celebrity-athletes to promote the brand’s image and gain credibility by having these ‘experts’ associated with their brand. This marketing technique is often advantageous for sportswear companies. However, there may be liabilities and complications for the brand if the endorsed athlete becomes involved in a scandal. The two main purposes of this thesis are to ass
This paper aims to identify and analyze the language used when women with feminist engagement are violated on the Internet. Four discussion threads on Flashback Forum whom contains discussions about five women with a public feminist engagement have been examined. The essay have a critical starting point and uses a feminist perspective on norms and critical discourse analysis as theory and method.
Målet med uppsatsen är att se hur media framställer den svenska transportbranschen samt att klarlägga aktuella aktörers syn på den svenska vägtransportsektorns hållbarhet. Vidare läggs största delen av fokus på hur de sociala och miljömässiga aspekterna upplevs. Dessa kan dock inte ses isolerade från den ekonomiska aspekten och därför berörs även den till viss del i arbetet. Syftet blir därmed att

These people are in a social vulnerable situation and their experience of the aut
Idag vill man effektivisera användningen av geografiska informationssystem (GIS), vilket uppmuntrar järnvägsförvaltningarna att centralisera sina data. Därför hämtar de både geografiska och schematiska framställningar från samma databas. Men, en svårighet som möter Trafikverket är att olika representationer (geografiska och schematiska) måste uppdateras separat, vilket innebär större kostnader och

This study analyzed highly detailed long-term information about occurrence of cormorants (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) and the fish community composition in lake Krankesjön, southern Sweden. Moreover, cormorant predation with regards to species and size preference were estimated using data from recovered PIT (Passive Integrated Transponders) tags. The results shows that the cormorant population h
Sedan slutet av 1990-talet har den arbetsrelaterade psykiska ohälsan ökat i Sverige och yrkesgruppen sjuksköterskor har drabbats hårt av detta, exempelvis genom utbrändhet. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur väl work-family conflict (WFC) predicerade utbrändhet hos svenska sjuksköterskor, om fysisk aktivitet och skiftarbete var modererande variabler, samt om ålder och civilstånd hade någon påverSince the end of the 1990’s the work-related psychological illness has increased in Sweden and the occupational group nurses has been greatly affected by this, for example by burnout. The purpose of this study was to examine how well work-family conflict (WFC) predicted burnout among Swedish nurses, if physical activity and shiftwork were moderating variables, and if age and marital status had any
The aim of this paper is to investigate the exposure of Fair Trade (FT) importers in Germany, operating based on the principles of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO), to foreign exchange (FX) rate risk in the light of the current depreciation of the Euro.

Aerosol particles affect the global climate due to its influence on the scattering and absorption of short-wave and long-wave radiation. The extent of the influence of aerosol particles on the climate varies a lot by time and space, and needs to be quantified. One of the most important natural sources of atmospheric particles is new particle formation (NPF). However, the contribution of NPF events
Hyran för kommersiella lokaler regleras utifrån principen om marknadshyra, vilken sätts av ingående kontrakt mellan hyresvärd och hyresgäst. Hyresavtalen beror vanligtvis på lokalens fastighetsanknutna attribut och medför givetvis att hyresnivåerna kommer att skilja sig åt mellan varje enskilt kontrakt. Förfarandet vid avtalsupprättande är välbeprövat och finns reglerat i Jordabalken (1979:994). SThe rents for commercial premises are regulated by the principle of market rent, which are set by contracts between landlords and tenants. The leases typically depends on the property related attributes and naturally means that rental levels will differ between each individual contract. However, according to the Swedish property indicator, the general rent levels of commercial stores and offices,
Syftet med studien var att undersöka individers förväntningar inför att börja utöva yoga i stressreducerande syfte. Relaterat till detta fanns två undersyften: att undersöka individers egna upplevelser av stress, samt deras föreställningar kring yoga som fenomen. Slutligen ville vi även förstå yoga som psykologisk behandlingsmetod, samt att reflektera kring förväntningars eventuella effekt på yogaThe aim of this study was to explore individuals’ expectations of starting practicing yoga as a stress reducing intervention. In relation to this, two sub aims followed: to explore individuals stress experiences and how they see yoga as a phenomena. Finally, we wished to reflect upon yoga as psychological treatment, and how expectations can influence the experience of yoga. Semi-structured intervi
En palynologisk analys över Ordoviciums (Sandbian) Kinnekulle bentonit från södra delarna av mellersta Sverige har gjorts. Den sedimentära succsessionen är hämtad från Borenshult-1 borrkärnan som togs i Motala, syd-mellersta Sverige. Litologin domineras av mudstone och två tjocka bentonitlager. Akritarker dominerar den palynologiska sammansättningen och endast ett fåtal chitinozoer och scolecodontA palynological analysis across the Ordovician (Sandbian) Kinnekulle bentonites in south Central Sweden has been performed. The sedimentary successions were recovered from the Borenshult -1 drillcore in the Motala area, south central Sweden. The lithology is dominated by mudstones and two thick bentonite beds. Acritarchs dominate the palynological assemblage but a few chitinozoans and scolecodonts
