This Master Thesis has been performed as a development project for Asko Cylinda AB in Vara, Sweden. The company develops, manufactures and markets conventional tumble dryers among many other products. An important part of a tumble dryer is the filter holder with belonging fuzz filters mounted on the door of tumble dryer’s. The fuzz filter’s objective is to filtrate the hot drying air that pass thr
Although the communication aspects of sport and football organizations are receiving in-creased scholarly attention, research from the perspective of fans of such organizations has mostly been neglected. This study problematizes the gap that exists be-tween the current social media communication of football organizations, that tend to be guided by commercial interests, and the expectation of fans

The aim of this paper is to expand the debate on undocumented migrants' social rights from a theoretical perspective emphasizing social and political practices of inclusion and exclusion. We examine how processes of exploitation and stigmatization contribute to a categorization and positioning of undocumented migrants as non-citizens. We explore this in a dialogue with three authorities workin
Good phylogenetic trees are required to test hypotheses about evolutionary processes. We report four new avian mitochondrial genomes, which together with an improved method of phylogenetic analysis for vertebrate mt genomes give results for three questions in avian evolution. The new nit genomes are: magpie goose (Anseranas semipalmata), ail owl (morepork, Ninox novaeseelandiae); a basal passerine
Boendet har en stark koppling till äldres livskvalitet. Utformningen av äldres boendemiljö är viktig då de spenderar mycket tid i och i nära anslutning till boendet. Boendemiljön påverkar hur trygg den boende känner sig där exempelvis hala golv eller dålig belysning kan skapa en känsla av otrygghet. Sveriges befolkning ökar och antalet invånare över 65 väntas öka från 1,9 miljoner 2014 till 3 milThe living environment has a strong connection with elderly's quality of life. The design of the elderly housing environment is important as they spend a lot of time in and near their home. The housing environment affects how safe the residents feel, for example slippery floors or poor lighting can create an insecurity. Sweden's population is increasing and the population of those over 65
MultiPark är ett translationellt forskningsnätverk som sträcker sig från preklinisk forskning till studier av livssituationer för patienter med Alzheimers och Parkinsons sjukdom samt relaterade hjärnsjukdomar. Vi syftar inte bara till att förbättra patienternas kroppsfunktion utan även deras aktivitet och delaktighet. MultiPark bygger på ett starkt samarbete mellan Lunds universitet och Skånes uniMultiPark (Multidisciplinary research focused on Parkinson's disease) is a translational programme that ranges from experimental pre-clinical research to studies on the life situation of patients with neurodegenerative disorders. Our programme not only aims at improving the overall function of patients, but also their acitivity and participation. This initiative relies on solid interactions betwee
Patentlagstiftningen är en lagstiftning med syfte att, i det allmännas intresse, främja den industriella utvecklingen. Lagstiftaren anser att patentmöjligheten är av särskild vikt för läkemedelsindustrin då den främjar läkemedelsutvecklingen, en utveckling som även är av intresse för allmänheten. I propositionerna till patentlagen menar lagstiftaren att patentmöjligheten främjar läkemedelsindustriThe Swedish Patent Law is a legislation with the purpose to help the industrial growth to the benefit of society. According to the legislator the Patent Law is particularly important for the pharmaceutical industry since it encourage the development of new medicines, a development that also benefits the society. Therefore, the legislator has, in the proposal to the Patent Law, emphasized the impor
Popular Abstract in Swedish Robust konstruktion handlar om hur produkter skall konstrueras för att bli okänsliga mot oväntade störningar och variationer i t.ex. omgivningen under drift. Normalt har detta problem angripits med den sk. Taguchi-metoden, i vilken experiment utförs efter en viss metodik på en prototyp, varefter produktens beteende kartläggs och konstruktionsvariablerna väljs så att ettThe activity of robust design of mechanical products and how it can be accomplished in pre-prototype design phases, is discussed in this thesis. It is advocated that to be fully efficient and effective optimization of product robustness should commence already in the conceptual design phase. Moreover, since product optimization is a process, robust design should be perceived and implemented as a p
In a previous study we presented data indicating that the expanded population of CD4(-)CD8(-) (DN) alphabeta T cells in TCRalpha-chain-transgenic mice was partially if not entirely derived from gammadelta T cell lineage cells. The development of both gammadelta T cells and DN alphabeta T cells is poorly understood; therefore, we thought it would be important to identify the immediate precursors of
Vår grupp studerar olika höftsjukdomar med debut i barndomen och deras association med framtida höftbesvär och artros. 1) Höftdysplasi är en omogenhet i höftleden som innefattar patientgrupper från nyfödda till vuxna. 2) Femuroacetabulärt impingement (FAI) är en anatomisk avvikelse i höftleden. 3) Fysiolys, är en glidning i höftkulans tillväxtzon hos tonåringar som oftast är: a. kronisk eller Our group investigates hip joint diseases that start during childhood but may result in impaired function and OA in adulthood. 1) Hip dysplasia ranges from congenital dislocation to dysplasia in adults. 2) Femuroacetabulärt impingement (FAI) is developmental anatomical deformity. 3) Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is a slip in the growth plate of the femoral head, most commonly: a.

I världen lider flera 100 miljoner människor av autoimmuna sjukdomar och de är ett folkhälsoproblem i paritet med cancer och hjärt/kärlsjukdomar. Vi har fokuserat vår forskning kring en grupp ovanliga men allvarliga autoimmuna sjukdomar, ANCA associerade vaskuliter. Sjukdomarna orsakar en akut inflammation i de små blodkärlen, vilket leder till en snabbt förlöpande glomerulonefrit och livshotande Autoimmune diseases affect several 100 million people world wide and is a tremendous public health problem comparable with heart disease and cancer. We have focused our research to a group of severe autoimmune diseases, called ANCA (anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody) associated systemic vasculitis. The diseases present with acute inflammation in the small vessels and cause rapidly progressive r
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the possible role of FCGR2A 519A>G and FCGR3A 559A>C functional polymorphisms in the genetic predisposition to susceptibility to systemic sclerosis (SSc) or clinical phenotype. METHODS: A total of 1566 patients with SSc and 2271 geographically matched controls were included in our study. We analyzed the genotype and allele frequencies of the FCGR2A 519A>G and FCGR3A 559A>
