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

Rekvisitet verksam i betydande omfattning återfinns i 57 kap 4 § inkomstskattelagen.

Det blir allt vanligare att människor flyttar mellan länder för att bo, studera, arbeta eller leva som pensionär. Till en persons hemvist knyts allt fler rättigheter och skyldigheter i samhället vilket skapar ett ökat behov för individen och staten att kunna fastställa var en person har sin hemvist. Idag finns ingen enhetlig tolkning av hemvistbegreppet. En persons hemvist kan därför variera mellaToday it is common for people to move across borders to live, study, work or retire. A person’s residence is linked to an increasing number of rights and obligations in society, which creates an increased need for both the individual and the state to determine where a person has its residence in different situations. Today there is no uniform interpretation of the concept. Where a person is consid

Numerous broad insights have emerged in the last decades concerning the invasive non-indigenous round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) and its expanding presence in the Baltic Sea. The waters surrounding the Danish isles are the final frontiers separating the Baltic Sea from the North Sea, and although they offer highly favourable habitats, the biotic resistance in Öresund by native competitors might

Under de senaste åren har ett antal fall av hets till självmord på internet och sociala medier uppmärksammats såväl nationellt som internationellt. Under våren år 2018 rapporterade medier i Sverige om ett svenskt fall där en polisman givit en ung kvinna instruktioner via sms om hur hon bäst skulle begå självmord. Eftersom självmord och självmordsförsök inte är kriminaliserat blir medverkansreglernIn recent years, a number of cases of incitement to suicide on the internet and social media have been highlighted both nationally and internationally. In spring 2018, media reported on a Swedish case where a policeman gave a young woman instructions through text messages about how to best commit suicide. Since suicide and suicide attempts are not criminalized, the rules of complicity are not appl

Grov kvinnofridskränkning är ett av de svåraste brotten att bevisa. Ofta är situationen sådan att ord står mot ord. Domstolen har då att bedöma trovärdigheten och tillförlitligheten i målsägandens utsaga, för att bedöma om utsagan, tillsammans med vad som övrigt visats i målet, kan styrka åtalet bortom rimligt tvivel. Hur denna bevisvärdering går till är i enlighet med den fria bevisprövningens prGross violation of a woman’s integrity is one of the most difficult crimes to prove. Most often, one person's word stand against another. In such cases, the court has to prove the credibility and reliability of the plaintiff's oral statement in order to assess if it, together with the other circumstances of the case, can prove the case beyond reasonable doubt. Due to the principle of free

This thesis explores the extent to which international human rights law and international labour law place obligations on States to protect migrant workers’ fundamental rights, especially their rights to social security. More importantly, this thesis examines intra-ASEAN migrant workers’ accesses to the social security benefits, as defined by the ILO Social Security (Minimum Standards) Convention,

Increased digitalization and increased use of digital technologies in a multitude of applications affect companies and their environments. Adapting to the change is important to keep competitive advantage. Generally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as well as the manufacturing industry are lagging behind in digitalization and digital maturity in comparison to larger companies and other i

The human gut contains a vast number of bacteria. These bacteria allow us to digest the complex glycans that are part of our diet but we ourselves cannot digest. Among these bacteria one of the genera that is a major constituent is Bacteroidetes. One of the distinguishing features of this genus is its polysaccharide utilizing loci (PULs), clusters of genes for degradation of specific glycans and e

In the near future, a new market will form full of 2nd life batteries that are no longer suitable to use in electric vehicles. This since their capacity retention is too low after a few years of usage, as a consequence of two aging mechanisms; cycling aging and calendar aging. These batteries can be put into good use as battery energy storage systems, as the energy density is not as an important f

I entreprenadformen totalentreprenad upphandlar entreprenören konsulten och har därmed ansvar för både projektering och utförande. För att öka produktiviteten och innovationsgraden i järnvägsprojekt ökade Trafikverket antal projekt upphandlade som totalentreprenader mellan år 2012 och 2018. Det skapade en stor ovana för aktörerna i sättet att arbeta. Idag har företagen i järnvägsbranschen vant sigIn design-build contracts the contractor purchase the consultant and is therefore responsible for both design and execution. To increase productivity and innovation in railway projects Trafikverket, Swedish Transport Administration, increased the number of design-build contracts between 2012 to 2018. This created large unfamiliarity in the way of working for the actors. Today the companies in the

Examensarbetet syftar till att jämföra olika insamlingssystem för matavfall från flerfamiljshus. För att uppnå Sveriges miljömål finns etappmål som anger att minst 50 % av matavfallet ska källsorteras och behandlas biologiskt för att ta tillvara på energi och/eller näring till senast år 2018. Detta innebär att antalet hushåll med tillgång till separat sortering av matavfall måste öka. Det vanligaTo facilitate the fulfilment of Sweden’s environmental objectives, there are interim targets regarding e.g. food waste. For instance: at least 50 % of food waste should be source separated and biologically treated to make use of energy and/or nutrients, by 2018 the latest. To achieve this, the number of households with access to separate collection of food waste must increase. The aim of this mas

The main goal of this thesis was the development and application of a method to construct reactor networks based on pre-calculated flow fields for combustion systems. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to calculate flow fields for the Sandia piloted jet flame D and a Siemens SGT-800 gas turbine burner rig. Two different combustion models were tested in the computational fluid dynamics cal
