Powders 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
The forest fire that started in the vicinity of Sala in Västmanland 31 July 2014 ended up in being considered to be the biggest forest fire in Sweden for decades. Crisis management as we knew it got a punch on its nose so to speak. Municipalities, fire departments as well as governmental organizations got involved in something they never handled before and maybe for the first time they all had to
High density lipoprotein (HDL) and its principal protein component Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I) are commonly recognised for their anti-cardiovascular disease properties. Multiple studies have indicated that they also have important roles in the context of glycaemic control and diabetes. Low levels of HDL and ApoA-I have been linked to increased risk of diabetes development. Furthermore, it has been
A translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22 produces the fusion gene BCR-ABL that leads to the constitutive activity of a tyrosine kinase. This initiates the uncontrolled proliferation of myeloid cells causing Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML). The disorder is treated by tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that prevent the progression of CML into more advanced phases. The treatment must be sustained
Gotland Regiment P 18 was disbanded in 2004. Gotland had been a historically important strategic island for over 200 years and the Regiment was one of many that where to be disbanded due to economic restraints and a new Swedish security policy. The aim of this thesis is to examine why the decision was made due to the fact that the Regiment was re-established in 2018. Was it a rational decision or

Now more than ever, climate change poses one of the greatest threats to our existence. Regardless of religion, economical wealth, culture or politics, no-one can escape the imminent consequences of climate change. There have been numerous efforts made by political leaders world-wide to prevent climate change and develop sustainable solutions. However, due to conflicting political wills and the com
Den särskilda utskrivningsprövningen inom den rättspsykiatriska vården har varit omdiskuterad under en längre tid. Flera statliga utredningar har gjorts och en del uppmärksammade fall med lagöverträdare som suttit inom vården uppemot 20 år har skapat en het debatt. Denna uppsats ger en närmare inblick i systemet kring särskild utskrivningsprövning och vilka intressen som är centrala när bedömningaThe special discharge review within forensic pshyciatry has been a controversial subject during a longer period of time. A couple of state investigations have been made and several high-profile cases with offenders who have been within the psyciatric care upwards 20 years have created a great debate. This essay will give a closer look into the system around special discharge review and the central
Cells can sense and respond to mechanical forces through a process called mechanotransduction. It is controlled by the mechanical cues, originated from the cell's microenvironment, and occurs via a complex, step-wise process. In this process, a cascade of events occurs, where the forces are essentially sensed by integrins and transmitted through filamentous actin (F-actin). The downstream even
In the beginning of 2017, the debate regarding freedom of conscience and abortions surfaced again in Sweden, when the Labour Arbitration Court raised the case of the midwife Ellinor Grimmark. Grimmark had been denied work as a midwife, as she was unwilling to perform abortions, put in a contraceptive copper coil, and to provide patients with so-called oral emergency contraceptive. This essay aims
En ökad tillgång till och användning av information utmanar både de tekniska system och den lagstiftning som finns idag. Det är därför viktigt att det finns säkra och transparenta digitala tekniker för transaktioner och informationslagring samt lagstiftning som hanterar detta. Genom blockkedjeteknik kan parter registrera och verifiera transaktioner, dokument och avtal med fullständig tillit trots An increased access to and use of information challenges both the technical systems and the legislation there is today. Therefore, it is important that there are secure and transparent digital techniques for transactions and storage of information and a clear legislation on the matter. Through the blockchain technique, parties can register and verify transactions, documents and contracts with full

This thesis will investigate taboos related to menstruation in the context of a Hindu menstruation tradition that is carried out in the middle and western areas of Nepal, and is called chaupadi. Through the application of Jeanette Sky’s feminist history of reli-gion’s theoretical perspective, the tradition will be placed in relation to patriarchal power structures and a hypothesis that the religio
I förevarande arbete utreds dels, i arbetets första del, huruvida förtroendebevisning i praktiken får olika effekt i mål om våldtäkt och i mål om olaga hot, dels, i arbetets andra del, huruvida det resultat som arbetets första del utmynnat i kan förklaras eller rättfärdigas genom att argumentera för att förtroendebevisning har olika beviskraft i mål om våldtäkt och i mål om olaga hot eller att detIn the first part of this essay, the author examines if trust evidence has the same effect in cases concerning rape as in cases concerning unlawful threats.

Företagshemligheter har i dagens ekonomi blivit ett allt vanligare sätt för företag att tillförsäkra att sina investeringar i know-how och forskning ger maximal avkastning. Ett fullgott och effektivt skydd för företagshemligheter är sålunda av avgörande betydelse för företagens möjligheter att konkurrera på marknaden, och inte minst för att upprätthålla en affärsetisk och sund konkurrens. Under seTrade secrets have become an increasingly common way for companies to ensure that their investments in know-how and research provide maximum returns. An effective protection of trade secrets is thus crucial for companies' ability to compete, and not least for maintaining fair competition. In recent years there has been a demand for a European, uniform regulatory framework. In the light of this
Ersättning enligt entreprenadavtal utgår i huvudsak som fast ersättning eller enligt löpande räkning. Enligt svensk rätt är entreprenadavtal inte lagreglerade utan istället tillämpas standardavtal. Standardavtalet AB 04 reglerar ersättning enligt löpande räkning genom självkostnadsprincipen som anges i AB 04 kap. 6 § 9-10. Enligt självkostnadsprincipen utgår ersättning enligt en av AB 04 kap. 6 §Construction Contracts are not regulated by Swedish law. Instead, the construction industry uses standard agreements. Construction Contracts usually state that compensation shall be paid as a fixed award or performed on an open account basis. The Swedish standard agreement AB 04 regulates compensation performed on an open account basis in AB 04 chapter 6 paragraphs 9-10. AB 04 chapter 6 paragraph

I den här undersökningen har en kritisk diskursanalys gjorts på svenska medias nyhetsartiklar kring hedersmord. Utifrån ett intersektionellt feministiskt perspektiv har jag använt mig av Teun A. van Dijks kritiska diskursanalys med fokus på framställningen av manliga och kvinnliga hedersmordsoffer. Genom en avgränsning på primärmaterial från 2002–2017 har jag granskat den mediala diskursens använd
