Pulver används inom många moment i läkemedelsbranschen, däribland tillverkning av tabletter och dylika processer. Att förstå och kunna anpassa sig till hur pulver beter sig, “flyter”, genom till exempel en tabletteringsmaskin leder till ökad kontroll över tabletternas innehåll och minskad variation mellan individuella tabletter. Vi kallar denna egenskap hos pulvers för deras “flytbarhet”. I vardagPowders are widely used in pharmaceutical applications and understanding their nature is an important aspect of making successful formulations. Powder flowability describes the behaviour of powders and can be measured using several different methods. This study looks at the techniques: angle of repose and tapped density, comparing them to each other and looking at how consistent they are with chan

Syftet med denna experimentella studie var att rikta ett psykologiskt fokus på påverkansmetoden nudging genom att utforska dess förutsättningar, begränsningar och bakomliggande mekanismer. Studien undersökte effektivitet i förhållande till olika typer av nudging baserat på dubbelprocessteorin och olika nivåer av transparens samt dess förhållande till upplevelsen av frihet att välja. Experimentet aThe aim of this experimental study was to put a psychological focus on nudging as a method of influence by exploring its conditions, limitations and underlying mechanisms. The study examined effectiveness in relation to different types of nudging based on the dual process theory and different levels of transparency as well as how transparent nudging affects the experience of freedom of choice.

Studies have validated that supporting basic psychological needs of the self-determination theory (SDT) in video games can affect intrinsic motivation. But it is difficult to find evidence that the same applies to virtual reality (VR) applications, especially by isolating groups of game features that support each of the basic psychological needs. The current thesis apply a user centered design pro

In a democratic system, various party political views are set against each other, i.e. there are opposing positions, for voters to choose between, because in a democratic system the power proceeds from the people. However, national parliaments within the EU are criticised for their democratic deficit, which can be caused by the lack of opposition, a so called opposition deficit. The problem is con

The aim of this study is to investigate whether crops are a mechanism through which drought affects terrorist activity. The theory suggests that drought can affect conflict if the group or country affected also is dependent on agriculture, experiences low economic development and is politically excluded. This study adds the perspective that decreased crop harvests, due to drought, can be understoo

This paper examines how permaculture in Denmark can contribute to the green transition towards a sustainable state.

Arbetet syftar till att undersöka hur en domstol kan gå tillväga i bevisvärderingen av sakkunnigbevisning när det finns motstridig sådan och hur en sådan bevisvärdering förhåller sig till robusthetskravet. Robusthet är ett mått på sannolikheten att ett bevisfaktums stöd för ett tema förändras vid ytterligare utredning. Med utgångspunkt i en deskriptiv del av arbetet, där bevisrättsliga principer The thesis’ purpose is to examine how a court of law can evaluate expert testimony when both the prosecutor and the defense have called experts who give contrary statements. The examined evidence evaluation is thereafter analyzed with regards to the notion of robustness in evidence. Robustness is a way of measuring the probability that additional evidence will alter the probability based on the ex

Elektromagnetiska vågor, även kända som radiovågor, är vågor som sprider sig med låga frekvenser från 3 till 30 kHz. Dessa lågfrekventa vågor används vanligtvis när man önskar kommunicera med ubåtar. De kan emellertid också användas på land för att mäta skillnader i jord– och bergarters elektriska konduktivitet. Denna mätteknik kallas Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) och har framgångsrElectromagnetic waves, also known as radio waves, which propagate at low frequencies of only 3 kHz to 30 kHz, are usually used for communication with submarines. However, these waves can also be used on land to measure differences in the electrical conductivity of the subsurface. This technique is called Very-Low-Frequency Electromagnetics (VLF-EM) and has been successfully used to gain an insight
