The aim of this project is to transfer and implement a monoclonal antibody purification process that is traditionally done on an ÄKTAxpress to another machine called the ÄKTA pure. This is due to the fact that the ÄKTAxpress is being discontinued by the manufacturer and a replace-ment machine is needed for the time being. The project will include developing some new meth-ods that might also highli

This market is growing rapidly, and the assistants are getting smarter and becoming more capable. However, in this kind of rapid expansion it is easy to lose focus on the user, which may lead to the end user discarding the VPA as another softwa
The aim of the study is to find a relation between the tip pressure produced by ram sounding and CPT in order to improve the possibilities of determining the shear strength of clay till.

CPT has shown to be useful regarding the evaluation of key parameters such as shear strengh and angle of fri

A shower routine is a sequence of instructions that can be executed by a smart shower. This report explores how interfaces for creating shower routines can be designed. It further investigates the features that users prioritize in such an interface and how shower routines can enhance the shower experience. Based on Orbital Systems’ app My Water, prototypes for various design so- lutions were creat
Scania has always been susceptible to damages caused by storms along its coasts which also holds true for the east coast in Scania where there is a great need of coastal protection for households and infrastructure alike. One example is the Kivik waste water treatment plant (WWTP) which is a newly built establishment with glass windows situated 30 meters from the east coast and provides its servic

Tidigare forskning har poängterat den höga prevalensen och de långtgående konsekvenserna av kränkningar i vården, det vill säga överträdelser av hälso- och sjukvårdens etiska principer och andra brister i patientbemötande. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka vårdpersonalens upplevelser av kränkningar i vuxenpsykiatrin utifrån social- och organisationspsykologiska faktorer.

Due to the era of robotization and new communication technologies, social robots are increasingly used in different areas of society. This thesis aims to examine the communicative situation between humans and robots from a social psychological perspective. We intend to increase the understanding of what a human-robot-interaction means to the communicative situation. The question that has guided th
Psykologisk flexibilitet (PF) refererar till förmågan att genomföra beteenden som ligger i linje med långsiktiga mål inom värderade områden i livet trots närvaro av obehagliga tankar, känslor och fysiska sensationer som ger upphov till impulser att undvika dessa erfarenheter. Högre nivåer av PF (och ökning av PF under behandling) är kopplat till bättre fungerande och mindre upplevt obehag hos vuxn
Migration to wintering grounds is a process that a large proportion of songbirds perform every year. It has been suggested that there are differences in the migration performance between adults and juveniles due to the experience the former have over the latter, after having flown this journey before. The aim of this study was to analyse age differences regarding activity, energy deposits and depa
International work aid is a form of social work that historically has been conducted by non-profit organizations. When the commercial volunteer agencies entered the market they did so with a well-known product but with a different organizational form. The for-profit social enterprise does not only aim to create social value but also financial value. The commercial volunteer travels, called volunto
1809 antogs en ny regeringsform i Sverige. En nyhet i denna var att den ålade kungen att skydda var och ens rätt till fri religionsutövning, vilket på ytan verkar innebära att religionsfrihet infördes. Samtidigt fanns det i kyrkolagen och missgärningsbalken regler som innebar att svenska medborgare var förbjudna att konvertera från den luthersk-evangeliska kristendomen. Det till synes paradoxala fSweden adopted a new constitution in 1809. It included an article that obligated the king to protect each and everyone’s right to freely practice their religion. This seems like an introduction of religious freedom into Swedish law. However, general law prohibited Swedish citizens from deviating from lutheranian christianity. This thesis focuses on the seemingly contradictory relationship between
I Sverige är det idag inte tillåtet med anonym vittnesbevisning från privatpersoner men detta kan komma att ändras i framtiden. Denna uppsats ämnar reda ut hur anonyma vittnesmål förhåller sig till centrala processuella principer i den svenska rätten samt vilken inverkan dessa vittnesmål skulle ha på rättssäkerheten i Sverige om de skulle bli tillåtna. Uppsatsen fokuserar främst på vittnen i broCurrently Sweden doesn’t allow witnesses to appear in court anonymously although some factors indicate that this might be possible in the future. This thesis aims to examine the compatibility between anonymous witnesses and central principles in the Swedish court procedure. The thesis also intends to analyse the impact a new witness regulation, with the possibility to testify anonymously, would ha
In Swedish youth- and adolescent residential care and juvenile care, there are today people held for either being a threat to themselves, their surroundings or have committed a crime yet are too young to be held in prison.

År 2015 kom över 35 000 ensamkommande barn till Sverige för att söka asyl. Endast 12 % av dem lämnade in någon sorts skriftlig handling, exempelvis en id-handling, som eventuellt kunde bekräfta deras identitet. Eftersom regeringen beräknade att antalet ensamkommande asylsökande barn skulle ligga på en fortsatt hög nivå under de kommande åren beslutade regeringen den 19 maj 2016 att uppdra åt RättsIn 2015, more than 35 000 unaccompanied children came to Sweden to seek asylum and only 12 % of them submitted some form of written document, for example an identity card, to confirm their identity.
