Ribbed channel flows are encountered in numerous engineering applications to promote turbulence and enhance heat transfer in various cooling passages, e.g., in turbine blades and at combustor walls. Numerical simulations have become an increasingly useful tool for providing insights into complex turbulence and flow separation, which are critical to the design and optimization of such channels. In
Transnationella företag anses idag generellt sett inte vara folkrättsligt skyldiga att respektera mänskliga rättigheter. I stater där det nationella skyddet av mänskliga rättigheter brister tillåts således företag begå kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter utan att träffas av juridiska sanktioner. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om en traktat som direkt gör transnationella företag folkrätTransnational corporations are today in general not considered to be obligated under international law to respect human rights. In states where the protection of human rights through national law is weak corporations thus may violate human rights without risking becoming subjects to legal santioncs. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether or not the conclusion of a treaty that obligate
The aim of this master thesis is to conclude how the energy systems of smart cities can be designed to achieve an annual net-zero energy consumption. The study investigated different techniques that can be used for producing and storing energy locally. This was implemented on a planned residential project located in Veberöd, south of Scania. Hence, the heating and domestic hot water demand were ba
Water scarcity can have severe implications for society; endangering human health and food security whilst also exacerbating social conflict around the world. These issues are exemplified in the case of the Ferghana Valley in Central Asia, where much of the valley suffers from water scarcity and conflicts despite having adequate water sources. This scarcity is primarily due to how water is used, m
In order for semiconductor materials to be suitable for implementation in new and progressive devices they have to be of better electronic characteristics than currently used materials, and maintain these once treated and put into action. It is important to verify that bulk characteristics are not hindered at the surface when a given semiconductor is put in contact with another material due to nec
Background Depressive disorders, specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), is predicted to become the leading cause of disease burden worldwide by 2030. In the United States, MDD is already the leading cause of disability. Yet, less than 50 percent of US adults diagnosed with a mental disorder seek treatment, often due to lack of health coverage or affordability. In 2014, the Affordable Care A
Insect monitoring has earlier been a manual, tedious and time consuming task that is impossible to do in real time. Thus there exists a need for a real time automatic insect monitoring system for counting and classifying insect for use in scientific research and pesticide spraying control. One approach to automatize this is using LIDAR to detect insects. In this thesis it has been explored how to d
Knowledge acquired through ecosystem service valuations can provide valuable information to stakeholders making land-use decisions. Effective use of ecosystem service valuation knowledge with a cost-benefit analysis can create resilient social-ecological systems. There is an increasing number of valuations being conducted, yet only one third of the studies are thought to be used in some form to ai
Background: Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumor in adults. Elevated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) within the tumor restricts drug uptake and contributes to the dismal prognosis. Antisecretory factor (AF) is an endogenous protein that possesses antisecretory and immunomodulating properties. In vivo, AF can reduce elevated IFP. There are two AF-enhancing products; Salov
Physical phenomena that are unexplained by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, are the subject of the area of research known as physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). BSM physics contains many Dark Matter (DM) theories which have emerged; from particles such as axions, neutrinos, and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), to primordial black holes and others. The range of exper
Abstract Title: Project managers – The invisible leaders Authors: Stefan Karlsson and Christoffer Karlsson Supervisor: Radhlinah Aulin, Division of Construction Management, Lund Faculty of Engineering Problem: * What are the most important work tasks for a project manager * What are the most important skills in the role as a project manager * What kind of common problems and difficulties are a pro
The aim of this master thesis is to provide an indication of the suitability, or otherwise usage, of spray-drying for production of powder aimed for inhalation formulation and comparing the characteristics of the product, with and without lipids. Lipids have a proven effect of delaying release of active drug substances in the cardiovascular system and pulmonary systemic delivery has a number of ad
Attitudes towards littering A study of residents’ attitudes towards littering in public spaces in Malmö city All forms of littering are considered a crime according to the chapter 15 § 30 of the Swedish Environmental Code. Still, littering is considered an increasing rather than a decreasing phenomenon. The results of littering are not just esthetical nuisance and increased street cleaning costs b
The present thesis, adopting the ecology of language as its conceptual orientation as well as employing linguistic landscape as its methodological tool to collect and analyze data, firstly aims at investigating (1) how the four official languages of Singapore namely Malay, (Mandarin) Chinese, Tamil, and English have been deployed on signs by three different social actors, i.e., the Singaporean gov
Even though protonemal development of bryophytes has been well studied, it remains unknown whether interspecific competition among mosses species affects their early growth and development. This study evaluated the effects of interspecific competition on in vitro germination and gametophyte development between each pair-wise combination from six common moss species: Atrichum undulatum, Bryum argen
Hållbar utveckling är ledordet inom såväl miljöpolitiken som miljörätten, däri inbegrips bland annat bevarandet av biologisk mångfald. Trots det bedöms Sverige bara nå två av 16 miljökvalitetsmål inom utsatt tid. Inom flera av områdena som rör bevarandet av biologisk mångfald och värdefulla naturmiljöer går utvecklingen dessutom åt fel håll. Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda hur rätten kan förändrIn environmental policy, as well as in environmental law, sustainable development is the keyword. To achieve this, preservation of biodiversity is central. Despite this, Sweden is expected to reach only two out of 16 environ-mental quality goals in time. Furthermore, in a number of areas relating to the preservation of biological diversity and valuable natural environments, development is made in
Genom reformen en modernare rättegång gjordes möjligheten för parter att närvara vid domstolssammanträden via ljud- och/eller bildöverföring permanent. Användningen av sådana lösningar har ökat under de senaste åren och accelererades av covid-19-pandemin. I experimentell miljö har det återkommande observerats att vittnens och målsägandes utsagor uppfattas som mindre tillförlitliga om de presenterThrough the reform en modernare rättegång [a more modern trial] the possibility for parties to attend court hearings via video and/or audio was made permanent. The use of such solutions has increased over the last years and was accelerated by the covid-19 pandemic. In experimental settings it has repeatedly been observed that witnesses’ and complainants’ testimonies are perceived as less credibl
