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
Natural light brings a sense of presence to the physical environment. The interaction between natural light and form puts us in connection with place in a way that can not be simulated or replaced with artificial light. This relationship has fascinated and engaged architects of all times, you could claim that the question of light and form lies at the core of architecture. It is hard to work with
This master thesis examines positions to long-term preservation of digital games in Sweden. Digital games are a new artform and type of cultural heritage but few actions have been taken to preserve them in an institutional context. If nothing is done now digital games risk disappearing very soon. The majority of long-term preservation of digital games has been performed by individual or groups
Abstract—For those living today with severely malfunctioning heart valves, replacement is the only available treatment. Patients are today typically offered either mechanical valves, xenograft or allograft. Decellularized heart valves have the potential of becoming one of the standard alternatives for such heart valve transplants. Decellularized heart valves offer a reduced risk of calcification a
Geographical Information Systems are a powerful tool for the processing of geographical data and can be used to implement predictive modelling for the purpose of archaeological research. The study presented here proposes a predictive model based on multi-criteria evaluation, and aims at analysing the parameters of known Upper Palaeolithic decorated caves in the Périgord noir, in southwest France.
Daily rain series from southern Sweden with records dating back to the 1870s have been analysed to investigate the trends of daily and multi-day precipitation of different return periods with emphasis on the extremes. Probabilities of extreme storms were determined as continuously changing values based on 25 years of data. An extra set of data was used to investigate changes in Skane, the southern
The development of a mathematical model and a computer program to facilitate the study of the multi-cylinder paper drying process is presented. Experimentally determined values far different heat and mass transfer coefficients are used to ensure the physical validity of the model. A unique feature of the model is its inclusion of a mass transfer coefficient for the dryer fabric. Thus far, the mass
The representation of expressivity of sound and colour in functional information is still a fairly unexplored field. Alternative ways of representing functional information are necessary when providing feedback in technical environments as homes, cars, nuclear power plants, and intensive care. One possible solution could be non-verbal representation of expressivity in functional information using
Den 1 januari 2016 skärptes kraven för luftutsläpp från förbränningsanläggningar genom För-ordningen (2013:252) om stora förbränningsanläggningar. I förordningen skärptes bland annat kraven för utsläpp av kväveoxider, NOX. Till följd av de skärpta kraven berördes Kraftringens produktionsanläggning Gunnesboverket. På anläggningen finns tre biooljeeldade hetvatten-pannor för fjärrvärmeproduktion därNew regulations regarding emissions of air pollutants came into force as of January 1st 2016 in Sweden. The regulations are found in “The Regulation on Large Combustion Plants” SFS 2013:252. The regulation contained stricter regulations of NOX emissions which affected the energy company Kraftringen and their three biooil-fueled boilers, at the heating plant Gunnesboverket, that are used for produc
This study investigates if and how equity-based crowdfunding can benefit a start-up’s corporate brand building process. Building the corporate brand can play a significant role for the company’s establishment in the market. Although equity-based crowdfunding has grown exponentially in the Nordics, it has not been covered enough in corporate brand building literature. The scope of this research was
Abstract The growth of supra-national organizations, such as the European Union, has been a recent trend in today’s global environment, which has challenged traditional marketing concepts and product cues. One such cue that is significantly challenged is the 'origin cue'. An origin cue is conceived to be a socially constructed notion that consumers use to discern where goods come from and
The use of computer models in research and development is a powerful tool to make the engineering process more effective. By providing accurate simulations, the need for working prototypes and extensive testing is reduced. This Master’s Thesis investigates the Gambro WRO 300 H reverse osmosis water purification system with the aim of creating a working and easily adaptable computer model of the ma
Ett regelverk i förändring. De särskilt inrättade reglerna för beskattning av delägare i fåmansföretag för kapitalvinst eller utdelning är unika på många sätt. De första tjugofem åren ändrades reglerna tjugotre gånger, nästan en gång per år. Främst beroende på bakomliggande svängningar i politiken. I fåmansföretagen finns det som huvudregel inget reellt tvåpartsförhållande då delägaren styr bolageThe specially made rules for taxation of partners in close companies regarding dividend are unique in many ways. During the first twenty-five years these rules changed twenty-three times, almost once a year. This occurrence was mainly due to underlining political balance between purposes. In these close companies there’s often no real two-party relationship as the partner oversees the company. Thi
The aim of this thesis is to examine how archival institutions perceive their role in managing archives that contain witness testimonies from Holocaust survivors. Choices made by the archival institutions in regards of preservation, digization, ethics and availability to users are analyzed. Three archives are the focus of this research. The Polish Research Institute archive contains witness testim
Measurements based on a large number of red giant stars suggest a broad metallicity distribution function (MDF) for the Galactic bulge, centered on [Fe/H] approximate to -0.1. However, recently, a new opportunity emerged to utilize temporary flux amplification (by factors of similar to 100 or more) of faint dwarf stars in the Bulge which are gravitationally lensed, making them observable with high
Background More than one in five patients who undergo treatment for breast cancer will develop breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). BCRL can occur as a result of breast cancer surgery and/or radiation therapy. BCRL can negatively impact comfort, function, and quality of life (QoL). Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), a type of hands-on therapy, is frequently used for BCRL and often as part of com
Försäkringskassan är en central del av den svenska välfärdsstaten och för¬medlar mycket stora penningsummor. De förändringar som myndigheten har genomfört under senare tid i form av ny organisation och ändrade besl¬utsregler har varit omdiskuterade. Kritiker har pekat på bristande effektivi¬tet, försenade utbetalningar och hjärtlös regeltillämpning. Ett antal vägval har gjorts för att söka hitta l
