Intimate partner violence against men has been a rather unexplored topic within social science research but is now getting more and more attention. It has been shown that victimhood and masculinity is difficult to reconcile among both abused men and members of society. Using qualitative content analysis, this study investigated how male victims of heterosexual intimate partner violence is presente

Flow cytometry is a versatile tool for monitoring a microbial population at a single-cell level. Multiple parameters can be monitored based on the users’ requirements through the utilization of different dyes, biosensors etc., and the use of FCM for on-line measurements during fed-batch cultivations has the potential to be used for precise process control. This project consisted of the development

With the evolution of cartography from hand-drawn to digital maps, the task of icon placement has become increasingly complex. Nowadays there is a need to automate this process to produce high quality results in less time. This study aimed to optimize icon placement on city wayfinding maps, addressing challenges of placing icons in high-density areas and maintaining a strong association between ic

The European Spallation Source (ESS) infrastructure is being constructed in Lund, and will be one of the most powerful research facilities of its type in the world. The ESS linear accelerator (linac) utilizes different accelerating sections where a wide variety of techniques should be employed to accelerate a beam of protons to 2 GeV kinetic energy through Radio Frequency (RF) cavities before bein

I denna essä formulerar författaren tillvägagångssätt för en vidareutveckling av ekumeniskt lärande på basis av deltagarnas erfarenhet av ett projekt inspirerat av ekumeniskt lärande. Ekumeniskt lärande beskrivs i både sitt historiska sammanhang och olika influenser och definieras som ett förändrande och holistiskt lärande där den lärde är tänkt att reflektera över sin tro, livsstil, globala och s

This Master Thesis has been written at EADS (European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company) Airbus in Bremen.The work contains a description of a few methods when linearising SystemBuild models in MATRIXx. MATRIXx is a tool for matrix manipulations (similar to Matlab) and SystemBuild is a graphical modeling environment (similar to SimuLink). The methods examined are the linearization command “lin”

Under flera års tid har återkommande förhöjda halter mikroorganismer förekommit i havremjöl på en av Lantmännen Cerealias verksamheter i Järna. Detta har lett till ett begränsat användningsområde och ökade kostnader. Syftet med utredningen var att upparbeta en åtgärdsplan för att förbättra hygienstatusen och minska de kostnader som de förhöjda halterna inneburit. Historisk data har granskats, en

In the present study, the enzyme thymidine kinase 1 from tomato (ToTK1) was expressed in E.coli and purified to near homogeneity by means of affinity chromatography. However, purified ToTK1 of bacterial origin displayed no substantial catalytic activity. Expression was also attempted in insect cells using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). Significant TK activities were detected in t

The relationship between business cycles and mortality has been a highly debated subject in the field of economics. The majority of previous studies, using the unemployment rate as the main proxy for macroeconomic conditions, have found ambiguous effects largely depending on how the effect is estimated. This thesis follows the methodology used by Ruhm (2000), but instead applies aggregate data for

This bachelor thesis shows how a mobile application can be designed to have the potential to induce its users to change their energy consumption and how the application can be designed to induce the users to return to the application. The project was carried out on behalf of- and in cooperation with Öresundskraft AB. The goal of the project was to create an application that would be used by the cu

In recent years, different methods for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size have been developed. This has been done in order to investigate if the size of the fat globules have any impact on the product functionality. The purpose of this master thesis was to develop a method for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size and with focu

This thesis covers specification and development of a distributed measurement system intended for CAN bus. It was completed at Scania CV, Södertälje in collaboration with Lund University. The goal of the thesis is to specifiy and develop a distributed measurement system that helps Scania with acquisition of functional and electrical data. Several topics are adressed such as filtering, at what spee

The research interest of this Master’s thesis is public librarians’ work life. The purpose of the essay is to examine public librarians’ experiences of work enjoyment, their valuations of work enjoyment and work motivation factors, respectively. The research was done through a web-based survey that was mediated via the e-mailing list “Biblist” that reaches the majority of Sweden’s librarians. The
