The purpose of this work was to identify different elements that consume energy, such as lightning, machinery, compressed air, ventilation, etc., in order to present several suggestions on how to reduce the energy consumption and the costs within the chosen area. In order to make a detail analysis of the company's energy consumption a visu
The study examined how international students perceive social integration. The University of Houston, Texas was used as a case study. The study was based on a symbolic interactionism. Goffman’s theoretical concepts of “othering,” spoiled identities, stigma, labelling and impression management in a pluralistic/multicultural society are explored, as well as Putnam’s concepts of social capital sharin
This thesis has investigated the spatial distribution of entertainment buildings in the area of the Western Roman Empire. This was done by first collecting data on all known entertainment buildings and plotting it in ArcGIS. The spatial distribution was then described and a number of different approaches was used to analyze the data. Factors that were analyzed includes: where the different types o
I uppsatsen studeras och kartläggs den svenske konstnären Öyvind Fahlströms (1928-1976) arbete med filmmediet; något som inom den samlade Fahlströmforskningen återkommande hamnat i periferin. Genom kontinuerliga närläsningar presenteras och kontextualiseras Fahlströms tentativa och sparsmakade filmografi i sin kronologi och helhet. Samlingen filmer Fahlström hann färdigställa under sin livstid utg
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad som händer när en ny musikpedagogisk idé/metod införs och etableras i ett sammanhang där det redan finns en dominerande metod. Undersökningen består utav en kvalitativ forskningsstudie med djupintervjuer av två danska Suzuki teacher trainers och med en narrativ analysmetod som verktyg. Den teoretiska utgångspunkten är ett sociokulturellt perspektiv ochThe aim of this study is to scrutinize what happens when a new music pedagogical approach is introduced in a context already dominated by another method. This is a qualitative research study using a narrative analysis method on two in depth interviews with two Danish Suzuki teacher trainers. The theoretical point of view is a sociocultural perspective and mainly cultural-historical activity theory
The Jewish concept of Torah (Ha-Torah) is often described as “the Greatest Gift,” especially among Jews themselves. Within the Christian tradition, especially the Lutheran, the Torah seems to reflect rather the opposite – a heavy burden. This essay addresses the relevant issues concerning the Concept of Torah. What does it mean? What is the Torah of significance for Judaism and Christianity in the
Forested areas represent a fundamental component of the environment. Deforestation and forest fragmentation represent a global issue mostly caused by human influence and Romania is not an exception. Nowadays forests cover approximately a third of Romania’s surface, meaning that the deforestation is a national issue. To handle this problem, a monitoring tool is necessary. The aim of the present stu
Vetenskapen har gjort att vi kan idag kan känna igen ett sjukdomstillstånd, eller följa ett sjukdomsförlopp genom att titta på dess biologiska fingeravtryck. För att man ska kunna upptäcka och tolka ett sådant fingeravtryck behöver man ett högteknologiskt redskap; microarray. Ett biologiskt fingeravtryck utgörs av en uppsättning ämnen, eller biomarkörer, som i olika kombinationer och koncentrationAnalyses of biological samples today include protein microarray, a high-throughput technology that can be used for protein expression profiling, targeting disease related biomarkers. Affinity microarray utilises scFv antibodies, fixed in an ordered pattern on a solid support. Albeit high biocompatibility and sensitivity, this technique causes randomised antibody orientation, which could negatively
Interactions between Prostate Cancer and Bone Marrow Cells Promote Cancer Metastasis Prostate cancer (PCa) results in death for around 300.000 men every year and is the fifth most dangerous form of cancer for this sex. Many treatments are available but when the cancer has metastasized to the bone marrow (BM) the outcome is rarely positive. In our newly developed molecule we have found a possibly
This thesis investigates a TEM cell (Transverse ElectroMagnetic cell) design for material characterization. The focus is to design a practical setup where the material measurement is straightforward to implement. A test sample is placed between the two ports in the setup to measure the scattering parameters. The impedance matching between the coaxial to microstrip transition and the TEM cell taper
Vattenkraften står för hälften av vårt elbehov i Sverige idag. Merparten av vattenkraftverken är gjutna i betong och som många andra betongkonstruktioner så drabbas betongen av sprickbildning av olika orsaker. För vattenkraften är genomgående sprickor ett problem då dessa skapar läckage. För att förhindra dessa sprickor har en ny metod börjat undersökas där bakterier som kan avsätta kalciumkarbonHalf of the electricity needed in Sweden today is produced by hydro power. Most structure parts in hydro power stations are made of concrete and as many of other concrete structures they contain cracks. Cracking through dams are a big problem for hydro power since they create leakage. To prevent cracking a new method is under investigation. It consists of incorporating calcium carbonate precipita
Swedish architect on the fringe – a historiographic study of Ingeborg Hammarskjöld-Reiz How do women architects take part in the historical writing? The Swedish architect Ingeborg Hammarskjöld-Reiz (1909-1994) was one of the first women architects in Sweden and worked in the cities of Lund and Staffanstorp during almost 50 years. She draw more than 3 000 buildings, was engaged socially and in boa
Elnät är komplexa och vidsträckt system som förlitar sig på alla sina beståndsdelar för att bibehålla en god driftsäkerhet och stabilitet. Den ökade andelen vind- och solkraft utgör ytterligare ett dynamiskt element i de redan komplexa systemen. En analys och behandling av riskerna kan bidra till en säker övergång, där påverkan på hälsa, miljö och ekonomi är minimal. Studien är utformad utifrån etThe electric utility system is complex and dependent on all of its constituents for attaining a reliable distribution. The increase of solar and wind power adds a new dynamic element to this system. Risk management methodology can help in facilitating a safe and sustainable transition, achieving minimal negative impact on society, environment and economy. The working process of the Thesis is const
De senaste åren har allergisk kontaktdermatit ökat i förekomst och orsakas då av att en individ kommer i kontakt med en substans som denna har utvecklat en allergi emot. Detta leder ofta till att individen får utslag vid kontaktpunkten, men kan i värsta fall få fatala konsekvenser. För att minska skadan denna sjukdom ger, både ur ett ekonomiskt och socialt perspektiv, finns det ett behov att hittaCandidate chemicals used by e.g. the pharmaceutical, food and cosmetics industries need to be tested for hazardous effects on human health prior to being released to the market. To stop the increasing prevalence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), there is an urgent need to develop and use fast and reliable in vitro methods to replace the current, not very accurate, animal experiments used for t
This thesis is a contribution to the analysis of the news media’s influence on Facebook users, guided by the use of Fairclough's critical discourse analysis (CDA). The aim of this thesis is to analyze how two news media articles can influence Facebook users perceptions on refugees and refugee law. This analysis tries to gain further knowledge on the dominance effect the media has on users of s
Helsingborgs stad anställdas syn på hållbar utveckling Helsingborg stad har satt upp nya målsättningar kring sitt hållbarhetsarbete. Men enbart hälften av de tillfrågade förstår vad begreppet hållbar utveckling betyder. Om tjänstemännen i kommunen inte förstår begreppet hur ska kommunen då kunna uppfylla de nya målsättningarna? Studien har visat att runt hälften av de medverkande har en god insiktThe municipality of Helsingborg, located in Scania implemented the Livskvalitetsprogrammet (The programme of living quality) in 2016. The goal with the programme is to unite sustainable development and quality of life. The work with the programme will continue towards 2024. I was given the assignment to research the knowledge of the programme throughout the organisation. The questionnaire is to be
Den här uppsatsen ämnar belysa relevansen av feministisk kritik mot rättsväsendet. Med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning och exempletsteriliseringspolitik och steriliseringslagstiftningar vill jag visa hur lagstiftningar reflekterar och återskapar normer tillhörande det samhällssystem inom vilken kontext de är stadgade i. Vidare vill jag visa att det är dessa normer och rådande system som lagstiftThis paper aims to discuss and underline the importance of critical feminist legal theory. Using an example of sterilisation politics, my aim is to show how jurisprudence claiming to be neutral instead tends to reflect and recreate the social system in which context it is founded. Thus resulting in unjust operation for underprivileged social groups. I use sterilisation politics and jurisprudence i
Destruktiva skogsbränder är vanliga idag och genererar nyheter varje år. Förr i tiden var skogsbränder dock ett viktigt ursprung till förnyelse i många ekosystem. Många arter är anpassade och beroende av skogsbränder. Uppskattningen av skogsbrandstorleken är viktig för att återinsätta bränder i skogen med en naturlig rotation. Storleksuppskattning av dåtida skogsbränder har undersökts i många årtSize estimations of fires that occurred centuries ago have been the subject of study for many decades. More accurate spatial fire histories from tree rings were possible by either drawing the sample location on detailed topographic maps or using GPS receivers. A popular method of delineating fire sizes is to draw an outline around the fire-scarred samples considering topographic and landscape feat
Stevia is a natural sweetener with increasing use in known products, for instance Coca Cola Company launched a new brand called "Life" were they use Stevia as a sweetener. In this work, we have attempted to separate and analyze the different compounds that give the sweet taste, known as steviol glycosides, by ion-exchange chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection. The known metho
