Fenomenet idrott har historiskt sett åtnjutit en särställning rättsligt sett vilket inneburit att idrotten och dess organ själva har fått reglera sin verksamhet genom att stifta sina egna lagar och regler utan ingripande från övriga samhället. Anledningarna till denna självständiga normbildning är flera men utgår ofta från en föreställning om att idrott är ett sådant fenomen som inte lämpar sig atThe phenomenon of sport has historically enjoyed a special status in law, which has meant that sport and its organisations themselves have been regulating their activities by legislating their own laws and rules without interference from the rest of society. The reasons for this are several but are often based on the idea that sport is such a phenomenon that does not lend itself to be force into t

Sweden has seen an increased number of homeless EU citizens over the last years. There is no consensus among Swedish municipalities on how to handle the issue of housing for vulnerable EU citizens. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the right to housing and why vulnerable EU citizens cannot access the right. The issue is studied on three levels – human rights law, EU law and domestic Swedish

This master thesis has evaluated the possible use of a spray dryer to produce powders suitable for use as inhalants and whether the addition of liposomes to the solution to be spray dried would improve the properties of the powder. The powders created consisted of Lysozyme as model drug, Lactose as filler and stabilizer, and different types of phospholipids to create liposomes using an ethanol inj

A processing method is developed to characterize contacts for vertical nanowire structures. The process is based around optical lithography and an organic spacer material in order to facilitate an easily repeatable processing flow. Substrates with MOVPE grown GaSb nanowires are processed into sets of resistor devices. Variation in resistance of the devices is achieved by adding contacts at differen

This master thesis was a project in cooperation with Höganäs AB. The aim was to increase the apparent density (AD) of two biomass chars, by three different agglomeration methods. The reason for the investigation is that biomass char could be used as a reducing agent in the sponge iron process at Höganäs AB. The goal was to exchange anthracite in the reduction mixture to agglomerated biomass char.

Vårt syfte med denna uppsats är att undersöka om courtageavgifterna som Avanza och Nordnet i Sverige tar ut påverkar aktieomsättningen på den svenska aktiemarknaden i synnerhet på Large cap, Mid cap och Small cap. Vi väljer 15 aktier, fem från listorna Small-, Mid- och Large cap, under vår valda tidsperiod, 2001-01-01 till 2014-12-31. Valet av aktier baserades delvis på möjligheten att få bra his

In modeling unsteady compressible viscous flow problems with the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, time adaptive implicit methods are needed to solve the initial value problems that arise when discretizing the equations in accordance with the method of lines. The methods most used in industrial code today are a family of multistep methods called BDF-methods. Because BDF-methods with higher ord

In recent years, the market for mobile applications has continuously grown in size, and appears to continue to grow. This means greater competition among app developing companies as the users expect applications with high usability and a great user experience. To assess these properties the companies can perform usability evaluations. However, practicing traditional usability evaluation methods ca

The purpose with this study was to investigate how social secretaries in elderly care receive to dementia patients over the age of 65 in the care administration, focusing on the social secretaries discretion and the rights of the patients with dementia. The population consisted of four social secretaries in elderly care, granting assistance to dementia patients over the age of 65, and one nursing

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida mentorskap har möjlighet att innebära ökad medvetenhet om exkludering baserat på etnicitet samt ifall mentorskap har möjlighet att påverka denna exkludering. Studien visar att mentorskap har möjlighet att erbjuda kunskap och förståelse för mentorerna även inom arbetet för att bryta exkludering trots komplexiteten vilket innebär att mentorskap är ett v

The number of people who choose e-books rather than reading traditional paper books are increasing as a result of our world becoming more digitized. Libraries need to keep up with this trend and modernize its lending procedures for their digital products. The purpose and goal of this Master thesis were to answer the questions how e-books can become more attractive to those who have not yet dared t

Visualization of molecular models is a vital part in modern drug design. Improved visualization methods increases the conceptual understanding and enables faster and better decision making. The introduction of virtual reality goggles such as Oculus Rift has introduced new opportunities for the capabilities of such visualisations. A new interactive visualization tool (MolecularRift), which lets t

When testing for means there are two classical assumptions to be considered, normality and equal variances (equal covariance matrices). Historically more attention seems to be directed towards violation of the assumption of equal variances, which is referred to as the Behrens-Fisher problem, than the assumption of normality. Our attention is equally directed to both the issues. We propose a bootst

Denna rapport redogör för design och utveckling av ett medicintekniskt instrument för diagnos av kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) eller emfysem. Arbetet utgår ifrån en ny diagnosmetod och ett instrument i form av en funktionell prototyp som används för att testa den nya diagnosmetoden. Med utgångspunkt i den funktionella prototypen har arbetet fokuserats kring att förstå vilka problem och utmThis thesis presents design and development of a medical device for diagnosis of emphysema or COPD by controlled lung deposition of nanoparticles. After purging the lungs with particle free air the subject inhales a controlled aerosol mixture and holds his breath for a determined period of time, before exhaling. The degree of lung disease is calculated by measuring and comparing the concentration

This master thesis is about improving the accuracy of a Gantry-Tau robot by identifying the key parameters in the kinematics of the robot. This is done using a vision system and then estimating the parameters by minimizing the closure equation of the kinematics. The robot with improved control is then used for additive manufacturing. Furthermore, a prototype for a large plastic printer head is pre
