Liquid-liquid emulsions can be created using different mixing techniques and the equipment used for processing has a large impact on the final emulsion. Rotor-stator mixers are one of the most commonly used mixers today with multiple application areas. The droplet size is a key parameter during industrial mixing and emulsification, since it influences both the stability and quality of the product.
Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka ockupationsrätten enligt internationell humanitär rätt, med särskilt fokus på inledandet och avslutandet av en ockupation. Vidare kommer uppsatsen att analysera de utmaningar som är förknippade med ett sådant avslutande. I granskningen av komplexiteten som omger avslutandet av en ockupation kommer 2005 års tillbakadragande från Gaza, samt ockupationen av Irak meThis thesis aims to investigate the law of occupation under international humanitarian law, specifically focusing on the beginning and ending of an occupation. The thesis will also explore the challenges associated with its termination. By examining the complexity regarding the ending of an occupation, the 2005 “disengagement” from Gaza and the occupation of Iraq 2003-2005, will be used. The thesi
Skin ages as a result of the failure of several mechanisms that are triggered by both internal and external factors. The accumulation of damaged proteins is an effect that comes with age due to the dysfunction of the proteasomes and their decline in activity, which leads to dull looking skin. In addition, as we age the effects seen on are skin includes the formation of age spots as well as hyperpi
In this report, the synthesis of iron borides has been studied. Iron and boron powders have been mixed in amounts corresponding to 50 at-% of each element. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been used to observe any reactions taking place up to a temperature of 1550 °C at heating rates of 5, 10 and 10 K/min, both for pre-compacted Fe-B powder mixtures as well as loose powders. The results
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 have had a profound effects on global perceptions of security and threats. The ensuing global War on Terror has increasingly been used by the US as a pretext to wage a ‘global war’, far outside the borders of the American homeland. As a result of this, Africa has grown in strategic value, with the US increasingly engaging with states like Kenya with the
In 2008, the National Library of Sweden decided to transition from the Swedish system of classification, SAB, to the internationally established system Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The aim of this master’s thesis is to study the process of transition and the effect of this transition on the library collections and users of three Swedish libraries: two university libraries and one public lib
We have implemented an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) prototype for teaching multi-column addition and subtraction to children aged 5-10, using a digitalized version of the Montessori bank game exercises. An Intelligent Tutoring System is a piece of software that teaches a certain subject to its users, and that typically uses artificial intelligence related algorithms to personalize the educati
PURPOSE: The purpose of this research project is to further advance theory on management of product development by providing insights on customer orientations. The study contributes to the literature by bringing in Actor-Network Theory (ANT) as a new perspective to theorize the process of translations between customer orientation and engineering orientation within product development. RELEVANCE:
As a part of the GrönNano project at Luleå University of Technology, a sustainable drainage system, composed of infiltration surfaces and a wale,has been subject to hydrological measurements and modeling. The aim of this study was to identify the conditions under which it is possible to model the hydrological processes of that system adequately, using the two-dimensional hydrodynamic modeling soft
For many applications a fracture is a disaster, leading to failure of the application and thus its usefulness. However, when it comes to the opening of a food and beverage package, fracture is a necessity. At Tetra Pak, food and beverage packages are produced to make food safe and available everywhere. Today, many of the packages include polymer parts, such as the opening of the packages. In the
This report is a master thesis conducted at Division of Product Development, Department of Design Sciences, Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. Two new polymer materials, Capa™ and Akestra™, were proven to be suitable candidates for two 3D printing technologies. The two technologies were selective laser sintering (SLS) and fused deposition modeling (FDM). Sintratec Kit and UP 3D, two comm
The aim of this study was to examine how death and mourning is portrayed in children’s books used in social work. A selection of five books, all written relatively recently and originating from Western European countries, was made based on advice from a hospital library, an important resource for medical social workers. These books were analyzed using content analysis, where we searched for themes
In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w
This research explores the processes of articulation between indigenous-ancestral knowledge practices of childbirth and the biomedical logic that articulates the field of medicine and state interventions. It unravels the question of: how do government policies in Ecuador construct the discourse around the dynamics between traditional-indigenous childbirth and biomedical interventions, and what imp
Under den Svekonorvegiska orogenesen omkristalliserade stora delar av sydvästra Sverige och bildade metamorfa migmatitiska gnejser. I Idefjordenterrängen, väster om Mylonitzonen, har migmatiterna inte daterats och då kunskapen om de metamorfa processerna i området brister kan migmatiterna ge en bättre bild av när metamorfosen skedde. En migmatitisk gnejs från Delsjöområdet i östra Göteborg har dat
Standardavtalet AB 04 är ofta underliggande avtalsunderlag för utförandeentreprenader. Tolkning av standardavtal grundas på, om en gemensam partsavsikt saknas, en analys av villkorets ordalydelse, avtalets systematik och dess ändamålsskäl. Trots att disciplinen inte är lagstadgad kan dispositiv rätt bli tillämplig vid tolkning eftersom standardavtalet är framförhandlat mot bakgrund av allmänna oblThe standard agreement AB 04 is often the underlying contractual basis for construction contracts. Interpretation of standard agreements is based on, in the absence of a common will of the parties, an analysis of the wording of the condition, the systematical composition of the agreement and its purpose. Although the discipline is not laid down in law, the optional law may be applicable to interpr
Den här uppsatsens syfte är att reda ut och redogöra för hur straffmätningen kring livsstraffet vid mord går till i Sverige och Danmark. Uppsatsen har skrivits ur ett komparativt synsätt i syfte att jämföra länderna och således också analysera likheter och skillnader. Livstidsstraff kan i teorin dömas ut för ett antal grova brott i både Danmark och Sverige men döms i praktiken nästan enbart ut i The aim of this essay is to untangle and explain the meting out of punishment-process regarding the life imprisonment sentence for murder in Sweden and Denmark. The essay is written mainly from a comparative standpoint to enable analyzing similarities and differences between the countries. Life imprisonment is statutory for a number of crimes, however it is almost exclusively applied to murder cas
Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. Studien undersöker hur betongens egenskaper påverkas av olika halter absorptionshämmare. Dels studerades glimmerrikt bergkrossmaterial, soThis master thesis evaluates an absorption-inhibiting admixture to enable the use of demanding aggregate materials in concrete production. This was achieved by investigating how the properties of concrete were affected by different levels of absorption inhibitor. Firstly, mica-rich aggre-gate material was studied, which, due to its high mica mineral content, has a high water absorption rate that i
This thesis fulfills its aim by creating a theoretical framework in order to identify and analyze the perceived challenges of participative decision-making in hybrid teams, which are two concepts of growing importance. Previous research has neglected the intersection between the two, which is a shortcoming this thesis addresses by considering their challenges in conjunction. To address the purpose
