Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) emerged from a fragmentation of different meaning of SRHR coming together to form one complex policy area. SRHR has been politicized in the past by predominant activist groups such as human rights and feminists (including those working with both fields simultaneously). Politicization refers to the process by which an issue becomes prominent in a giv

The aim of this master thesis project was to investigate the impact on drying kinetics of ultrasound during air drying by a new ultrasonic transducer, on which a patent application has been filed by CSIRO. Convection drying using hot air is currently the conventional method of drying in the industry due to its simplicity and low cost. To increase product quality, freeze drying utilises a vacuum bu

Researchers agree that there exist a close connection between export, foreign direct investment and economic growth, still they do not agree about the causal relationships between them. Latin America has over the last decades faced several economic crises. However, the continent has also been characterised by emerging economies, increased globalisation and trade liberalisation where export, foreig

Background and Research Question Historically, Lindab has largely focused its efforts on the production, but as a part of recent development in company strategy, supply chain management has gained more attention. In this regard, more attention has been given to stock reduction and minimizing total setup times to get a leaner production. Therefore, the company wants to investigate the current produ

This thesis analyses price relations in Malaysian energy and agricultural markets. In partic- ular interactions among prices for biodiesel, palm oil and crude oil were studied. The levels of the series are modeled by a standard vector autoregression set-up in combination with an impulse response analysis. A multivariate GARCH was utilized for identifying possible correlations among the volatilitie

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women and there are different types of breast cancers. Although the survival among breast cancer patients has improved the last decade, there is still a large group of patients with a bad prognosis. In recent years, a new set of immunotherapies called immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting the regulatory receptors in T-cell activation and activity

Vetenskapliga artiklar föreslår att xylan är delvis bundet till proteinerna i dulse. Detta kan leda till minskad tillgänglighet av proteinerna och leda till svårigheter att smälta dessa i tarmen. Denna rapport har för avsikt att hitta och optimera metoder för extraktion av proteiner och metoder för att separera de proteiner och polysackarider som förekommer i dulse. Metoderna som används är hydrol

B-uppsatsen är författad av Elin Johansson och Daniella Nordström i ämnet medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds universitet. Det finns mycket forskning kring sociala mediers för- och nackdelar. Den kontext som finns på internatskolor finns det dock inte mycket forskning kring. Studien syftar därför till att undersöka huruvida gymnasieelever på int

This study seeks to investigate how an affective perspective can contribute to an understand- ing of the space of Kanalens Kvarter in Albertslund, Denmark. From the perspective of the phenomenological approach, the thesis explores the aesthetics, social boundaries, and the use of the space in Kanalens Kvarter. I found a knowledge gap within the literature on street culture because emotions are put

This master’s thesis explores the sustainability and the circularity of industrial packaging of components for complex electronic products. The research aims to gain insight into the structure of the packaging system between the suppliers and the manufacturers (EMS) and evaluate its circularity to identify the opportunities and challenges for future improvement. The study examines the packaging

China is generally regarded as a country that has successfully achieved rapid economic development and rapid urbanization over the last three decades. But, in the course of this process, spatial inequalities in the country and the rural-urban divide within the city increase. That has led to the consolidation of the country’s dual economic structure. In 2003, the Chinese government implemented the

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to study the kinetics of gas-phase reactions of three lactones, γ-valerolactone (GVL), 2(5H)-furanone (2(5HF) and 3-methyl-2(5H)-furanone (3M2(5H)F) with Cl atoms, OH radicals and O3 respectively. The experiments were performed in a photochemical reactor at a total pressure of 700 Torr at room temperature (298±2 K). Both relative rate an

Extrusion cooking is a technique that has been extensively developed in the last decades and is today strongly associated with the production of snack foods and breakfast cereals. This project aimed to map the extrudate properties of four different cereal materials extruded at two different moisture contents and three different temperatures. Rye bran, rye flour, Barley Amylopectin Starch and β- gl

The diffusion characteristics of water can be measured by using NMR methods. Specifically, the diffusion profiles in samples containing domains of water barriers are of major importance to be able to describe in applications such as diffusion tensor imaging or diffusion MRI-sequences. These sequences can be used to study the internal structure of samples of complex diffusion profiles. The diffusio

The research of the thesis was aimed towards investigating the possibility of implementing different control strategies for power electronic converters in a simulation environment. The different control modes were fitted into flexible models that were interconnected in various grid topologies. The software used in order to develop the simulation environment is called Dymola and presently does not

Följande arbete har sökt beskriva, tolka och fördjupa teoretiseringen kring Communities of Practice ur ett kommunikationsteoretiskt perspektiv. Ett antal artiklar om Communities of Practice som kunskapande koncept har analyserats utifrån den amerikanska pragmatismen. Syftet med arbetet är att belysa kommunikativa aspekter inom teoretiseringen samt pröva utveckla teorin som analysenhet i ljuset av

Molecular dynamics simulations are used to provide a detailed investigation of the hydrogen bond networks around the phosphatidylcholine (PC) head group in 1,2-dipropionyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in pure water, 10 mol.% and 30 mol.% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)-water solutions. Specifically, it is observed that DMSO replaces those water molecules that are within the first solvation shell of the ch
