En stor del inom utvecklingen av nya produkter är test och validering. Denna process kräver användning av dyra och stora testsystem. På grund av dessa faktorer är det viktigt att maximera användningen av dessa testsystem. Till följd av detta har ett övervakningssystem utvecklats av test- och validerings-avdelningen på BorgWarner i Landskrona som kan läsa driftstatus (Till exempel på och av) av visA large part of developing products is the testing and validation of the new products. This process requires expensive test systems and a great deal of time and space. Because of these factors it is very important to maximize the usage of the test systems. Therefore, a monitoring system has been developed by the test and validation department at BorgWarner Landskrona that can read the operational

Fitting a model to a time-dependent ensemble average is a process repeated frequently throughout biophysics. A selected ensemble-averaged observable (⟨y(t)⟩) for a given system can be predicted through the use of an estimated ensemble average, where the estimated ensemble average is created via simulated or experimental data sets. Fitting a model to this estimated ensemble average allows for estim

Magnetomotive Ultrasound, MMUS, is an imaging modality used to reveal a magnetic contrast agent using an external time-varying inhomogeneous magnetic field. By this, the particles are set in motion, and the motion is detected with ultrasound. The technique has applications in cancer detection but is limited in penetration as the magnetic field decreases rapidly with distance. Instead of increasing

Tropical forests are of great importance to all living-beings due to their high biodiversity and the valu-able resources, such as food and fuel, they provide. In addition, tropical trees sequester a high amount of carbon and consequently over half of the global forest carbon stock can be found in the tropics. Climate change, however, might weaken this carbon sink and possibly result in tropical fo

This thesis delves into the intricate challenges surrounding responsible disengagement in high-risk contexts, exploring its potential to minimize human rights harms resulting from business withdrawal in such settings. The study meticulously scrutinizes legal understandings of high-risk contexts, focusing on defining circumstances where severe human rights impacts are probable, including armed conf

Modern construction sites are associated with high demands on suitable soil conditions, resulting in geotechnical challenges that can be solved using soil stabilisation techniques. The reliability of these techniques is tested using different quality assurance methods. One of the most common ground stabilisation methods is jet injection and installation of jet grouted columns. Quality control (QC)

Membrane filtration was used to concentrate proteins and decrease the salt concentration in a hydrolyzed fermentation broth. The broth was a by-product from the bacterial production and extraction of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), that can be used to produce biobased plastics. 3 ultrafiltration-membranes, RC70PP, GR70PP and ETNA10PP from Alfa Laval Corporate AB, were evaluated at varying cross-flow

Skatterättens område är dynamiskt. Företag och privatpersoner har i olika omfattning möjlighet att planera sin verksamhet. Det finns ett kontinuerligt intresse av att finns nya vägar som resulterar i en förmånligare skattemässig situation. Dessa nya förfaranden med vad som kan te sig röra procentenheter kan i slutändan resultera i enorma ekonomiska vinster. Under 2003 tillkom nya regler om skattTax law is a dynamic field. Businesses and individuals are to a different extent able to plan their activities. There is a continuous interest to find new ways that result in more favorable tax situations. These new procedures with what may seem to concern percentile margins may ultimately result in huge economic gains. In 2003 a new legislation was introduced regarding tax exemption on business-

Research question: How can the participation in the COII support companies to open up? Methodology: The thesis applies a single case study design to examine an opening up process in relation to open innovation. The thesis used a qualitative research strategy with inductive design with influences of deduction. The primary data emerged from semi-structured interviews to grasp an in-depth understand

Today’s modern societies are becoming increasingly dependent on the vital societal functions that technical critical infrastructures provide, for example availability of electricity, tap water and internet connectivity. Hence, it is of essence that these infrastructures are resilient to interruptions. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and contrast resilience levels of different types of

Freezing injuries usually take place in thawed plant-based food products. To reduce freezing injuries, Pulse Electric Field (PEF) treatment and Vacuum Impregnation (VI) of cryoprotectant were used before the freezing process. The aim of PEF is to provoke electroporation to the membranes of the plant cells, thereby allowing the cryoprotective solution impregnated by VI to penetrate the cells. PEF

Innovation är ett vidkänt koncept som har fått ökad betydelse i dagens organisationer. Uppmärksamhet har framförallt riktats till de initiala faserna av innovationsprocessen, kallade Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Att hantera FFE effektivt har blivit nödvändigt i utvecklingen av nya innovativa produkter, eftersom det kan minska cykeltider och kostnader relaterat till produktutvecklingen. Det är dock svårtInnovation is a widely known concept which has received increased importance in today's organizations. Attention has especially been directed to the initial phases of the innovation process, commonly referred to as the Fuzzy Front End (FFE). Managing the FFE effectively, has become essential in the development of innovative products, since it can reduce cycle times and costs related to product

In this thesis, the importation, transformation and distribution of French popular music in Turkey during the 20th century have been investigated as a case study of cultural transfer. By using theories and methods within a cognitive semiotic framework, this study provides an overview of the phenomenon of French pop music remakes in Turkey by accounting for the initial situation of communication of

Artikel 17 DSM-direktivet har varit ett oerhört hett debattämne de senaste åren. Den juridiska debatten har främst centrerat kring frågor om yttrandefrihet på internet och kring risken för att artikeln skulle innebära slutet på det fria internetet för användaren. Farhågan för detta var reell och Sverige röstade slutligen nej till direktivet då det antogs av Europeiska rådet 2019. Trots direktivetsArticle 17 of the EU copyright directive has been an incredibly hot topic of debate in recent years. The legal discussion has mainly centered on issues of freedom of expression on the internet and the question of whether article 17 would mean the end of the free internet for the user. The fear of this led to Sweden finally voting no to the adoption of the directive in the European Council in 2019.

Introduction: There is a shortcoming in current breast cancer treatment, where some patients get overtreated leading to unnecessary side effects and others will not respond to the indicated treatment. Immune infiltration appears to have potential to become an important parameter when predicting how the tumour will respond to certain treatments, prognosing the survival rates in different subgroups

Under början av 1900-talet var illegala aborter ett samhällsproblem i Sverige. Fosterfördrivning var straffbelagt, kvinnor som blivit ovilligt gravida stod därför inför valet att antingen föda barnet eller genomföra abort på egen hand. År 1939 trädde den första lagen på området, lagen om avbrytande av havandeskap, 1938 års lag, i kraft. Lagen tillämpades mycket restriktivt och antalet illegala aboIllegal abortions were a social issue in Sweden during the 20th century. Abortions were punishable, and therefore a woman who became pregnant against her will stood before the choice of either unwillingly giving birth or carrying out an abortion on her own. In 1939 the first law on abortions came into force. The law was restrictively interpreted and the number of illegal abortions continued to inc

More than 400 million people in the world have type 2 diabetes, making it one of the most common diseases internationally according to the World Health Organization. Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) is used to treat type 2 diabetes since it increases the sensitivity of insulin in peripheral tissues. The knowledge about the mechanism how TZD works is limited which has resulted in patients getting serious

An object in an external magnetic field will be magnetized and the degree of magnetization is dependent of the magnetic susceptibility of the object. The local magnetic field inside and around an object in the MR scanner will change due to the magnetization of the object. The phase shift is proportional to the local magnetic field, which means that phase images hold information about the susceptib

This thesis applies a Foucauldian genealogy to examine the power relations in global univer-sity rankings, by analysing three strategic reports from Lund University. The strategic reports are from 1995-2000, 2012-2016, and 2017-2026. The theory applied is Foucault’s pow-er/knowledge theory. The research question that guides this thesis is What signs of adaptation to rankings can be identified in t
