Emulsion formation by homogenization is commonly used in food production and research to increase product stability and to design colloidal structures. High-energy methods such as high-pressure homogenizers and rotor–stator mixers are the two most common techniques. However, to what extent does the research community understand the emulsion formation taking place in these devices?

The district heating (DH) customer installations in current DH systems contain a variety of different faults that cause the return temperatures of the systems to increase. This is a major problem, since the focus in the DH sector is to decrease the system temperatures in order to utilize more low-temperature heat. Therefore, this study has focused on how utilities are currently working to keep the

Recent development in machine learning have led to a surge of interest in artificial neural networks (ANN). New efficient algorithms and increasingly powerful hardware has made it possible to create very complex and high-performing ANNs. The process of training such complex networks has become known as deep learning and the complex networks are typically called deep neural networks. A possibility

When Jane Austen wrote Pride and Prejudice (1813), she created a formula that amateur and professional authors alike would follow. The heroine and the hero undergo a journey of emotional work as they figure out each other’s genuine intents. Two modern novels that are inspired by Pride and Prejudice are The Duke and I (2000) by Julia Quinn and Bridget Jones’s Diary (1996). This essay studies what t

Popular Abstract in English Prostate cancer is one of the most common causes of death for men. This disease can be detected at different stages and if it is detected at an initial stage there are many therapies to choose from. However, if it is detected at an advanced stage the options are reduced and most of the treatments are aggressive in an effort to extend the patient’s life. The most common In search for remedies and treatments, science has recurred to Mother Nature. This is where galiellalactone was found, a fungal metabolite isolated from Galiella rufa in 1990. Since then chemists and biologists have been studying its properties and found it to be a potential candidate against castration-resistance prostate cancer (CRPC). The development of a new drug requires many studies of the c

Since there is a lack of scientific knowledge concerning strategic thinking, this study sought to achieve a more comprehensive understanding of the concept. The presumption of the study is that one needs strategic thinking to deal with complex and unfamiliar situations. As globalisation is one main driving factor in the change of how business is run, there is an increased need for organisations to

Addiction to alcohol and drugs is a severe social problem all over the world and in all fields of social work. One of the most common treatments for addiction in Sweden is the Twelve Step Program (Socialstyrelsen 2021, s. 43). The twelve- step program is founded on a christian American perspective on addiction and a fundamental part of the treatment is to develop a spirituality to overcome an obse

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, fMRI, is a non invasive method to map brain activation with a magnetic resonance camera. In this thesis we propose a method to deal with motion induced artefacts in functional fMRI, using Independent Component Analysis, ICA. Patient movement can induce false activation or cause loss of true activation. Movement is one of the most common causes of fMRI failure

This study seeks to examine the nationalist ideological positioning of the Swedish parliament’s only self-proclaimed nationalist party, the Sweden Democrats (SD). The understanding of nationalism differs heavily in the social sciences and a variety of distinctions have been proposed in the study of it. The most common of these distinctions is the one between civic and ethnic nationalism. The metho

The shared laundry room (the “tvättstuga”) is a good example of a service system, where we don’t necessarily have to own a product to benefit from it. If we can share, we can also reduce our consumption & impact on the environment. In today’s society (in Sweden) the “tvättstuga” is a service taken for granted when living in an apartment building. It’s a necessity in many cases - people rarely

The question whether a single extreme climate event, such as a hurricane or heatwave, can be attributed to human induced climate change has become a vibrant field of research and discussion in recent years. Proponents of the most common approach (probabilistic event attribution) argue for using single event attribution for advancing climate policy, not least in the context of loss and damages, whi

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. In order to improve diagnosis and prognosis, new sensitive and specific biomarkers are needed. Tissue biomarkers carry expression and morphological information of the tissue where they are expressed. However their use is still limited by technological problems, lack of standardized procedures and inadequate interpretation. In this work we in

Can states by introducing taxes, change the way their citizens consume? Can states tax away the sins of their population? In this following paper, I have examined varies excise taxes in Denmark. More specificly I have analyzed Denmark’s tobacco- and alcoholtax and their failed sugar tax. How effective are they and what made the sugar tax fail? What are the correlation between the taxes and what ar
