Inom läkemedelsindustrin är det väldigt viktigt att göra en noggrann kontroll av läkemedel så att de är tillräckligt rena för personen som ska använda dem. En vanlig analysteknik i industrin är HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), som används för att separera och identifiera olika ämnen i exempelvis krämer eller tabletter. Analysmetoden används för att upptäcka orenheter i produkterna. HPLC is one of the most widely used analytical techniques in the pharmaceutical industry used for separation and identification of compounds in complex formulations. Despite its advantages, HPLC method development remains challenging. This is due to the need to optimize multiple interdependent parameters simultaneously, while gaining high precision, reproducibility, and efficiency. Even minor cha

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the effect of informal communication strategies on brand trust from a consumer perspective. Additionally, it aims to further conceptualize brand communication strategies on social media. Methodology: This inductive study applied a qualitative research strategy to obtain an in-depth understanding of consumers’ feeling of brand trust on soci

This paper aims to synthesise and build further on recent research of consumer behaviour, in order to explain how the industry affects consumer behavioural intentions towards early phase innovations. The rationale for this relies on the non-accessibility of early phase innovations and the implication that they cannot yet be experienced by consumers, which further means they cannot be objectively e

Möjligheterna för att kränka och förtala andra har ökat väsentligt i och med internets utveckling under 2000-talet. Idag kan ett uttalande eller en integritetskränkande bild spridas över hela världen på bara några sekunder och möjligheterna att ”ta bort” sådana uttalanden har därigenom förändrats. Denna uppsats syfte är att granska det svenska straffrättsliga skyddet mot näthat och undersöka omThe evolvement of the communications technology during the 21st century has created novel ways in which people can harm others. Today a statement or an intimate visual recording can be spread globally in just a few seconds and the possibility to remove such information has thus changed. The objective of this paper is to review the Swedish criminal protection against cyber harassment and exami

The purpose of this study was to examine how turning points manifest themselves during the life course of people that have substance abuse. We collected our data through a qualitative method, by reading four autobiographies written by authors who describe in detail how they encountered substances, and how they managed to turn their life around for the better. The chosen material was written in Swe

Livsmedelsindustrin i Sverige står för ungefär 20–25 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och 50 % av den totala övergödningen i landet. Ett sätt att minska påverkan är att minska mängden matsvinn som uppkommer längs med livsmedelskedjan. Matsvinnet kan variera mellan 10–50% beroende på förloppet i kedjan och typ av livsmedel. Genom globala och nationella mål har problemet med matsvinn fått allt större The food industry in Sweden stands for approximately 20-25% of the greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of the total eutrophication in the country. One way to reduce the impact is to reduce the amount of food waste that occurs along the food chain. Food waste can vary between 10-50% depending on the course of the chain and the type of food. Through global and national goals, the problem of food waste

Barnets ställning i det svenska samhället har under de senaste århundradena utvecklats från en obetydlig människa till en individ som spelar en stor roll i människors liv. Denna utveckling är ett exempel på hur mänskliga relationer och sociala processer påverkar hur man ser på olika individer i samhället. Utvecklingen skulle också kunna ses som en bidragande orsak till varför vårdnadstvister har öIn the last centuries, the child´s position in society has evolved from being seen as an insignificant human being to an individual that plays an important role in people’s lives. This development is an example of how social processes and human relations play part in how we see different people in society. The custody disputes in Sweden has increased over the past years. The evolvement of the chil

Mobila exergames, det vill säga mobilspel som uppmuntrar användaren till fysisk aktivitet, har ökat i popularitet de senaste åren i samband med spel som Pokémon GO och Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, men stora brister råder fortfarande när det gäller tillgänglighet för personer med funktionsnedsättning. I denna uppsats undersöks tillgängligheten i ett antal mobila exergames på marknaden för att utredMobile exergames, that is mobile games that encourage the user to engage in physical activities, have increased in popularity during the last years due to the success of games such as Pokémon GO and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, but there is a substantial lack when it comes to accessibility for people with disabilities. In this thesis the aim is twofold, first the accessibility of mobile exergames

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that plays a major role in climate change. Significant uncertainty exists in the estimates of emissions from natural methane sources. This uncertainty in data is one of the primary scientific challenges in climate model. Geological seepage considered as the second largest natural source of methane after wetlands and today is recognized as a major contributor to a

The widespread consequences of climate change are becoming more and more evident around the world and are raising crucial awareness to world leaders that a sustainable transition is direly needed to mitigate against disastrous climatic events. In Australia, in early 2020, these events took the form of some of the most devastating and largest forest fires the country has ever seen. This devastation

The winter of 2020 was dominated by Canadian and international news coverage about a group of indigenous land defenders in Northern British Columbia, Canada. At the centre of the media frenzy was a pipeline conflict involving an indigenous community, namely, the Wet’suwet’en Nation, and Canada’s largest private sector investment ever which is set to cross directly through Wet’suwet’en territory. T

The purpose or the study is to explore Google’s network expansion through acquisitions by integrating two different perspectives - Strategic Brand Management and Network Theory - in order to fill the gap in the existing branding literature in relation to network theory. In addition to Strategic Brand Management and Network Theory, the study also explores literature that is related to interrelatedn

Atmospheric aerosol particles have substantial influence on climate and air quality. However, the anthropogenic influence on the atmospheric aerosol is still poorly known. This limits the understanding of past and future climate changes. Additionally, both epidemiological and toxicological studies indicate adverse health effects of inhaled aerosol particles. In order to study the effect of atmosph

Chilaw inlet, with the affiliated lagoon, is located on the west coast of Sri Lanka about 120 km north of the capital Colombo. Each year during the summer monsoon, which lasts from May to September, the inlet closes due to a sand spit forming across the inlet. The closure results in impeded access to the sea for the fishermen, who use the lagoon as anchorage for their boats, and in deteriorated wa

Den vanligaste formen för utländska företag att bedriva verksamhet i Sverige är genom ett svenskt aktiebolag. Så har det varit under mycket lång tid men sedan år 1955 finns även möjligheten att bedriva verksamheten genom en svensk filial. Aktiebolagsformen är alltjämt vanligast men filialformen har med åren blivit mer populär. Vid utgången av år 2012 fanns 2 631 filialer registrerade i Sverige. FiForeign companies running business in Sweden usually register a Swedish ”aktiebolag” which is a type of company controlled by the company shareholders. Similar forms of corporations are the German Aktiengesellschaft and the British limited company. For a long time the only available option was to register a Swedish legal person in order to conduct business in Sweden. However, since 1955 it has bee

Lösningen till det globala underskottet tranplanterbara lungor finns kanske i återanvändandet av sjuk lungvävnad. Över hela världens finns patienter som väntar på att få nya organ transplanterade. För de med kroniska lungsjukdomar finns ofta inga botemedel, och förhoppningen om att få nya lungor transplanterade präglas av långa väntelistor och bara ungefär hälften av de som faktiskt får transplanChronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is currently the third leading cause of death worldwide and for patients with end-stage disease, the only viable treatment is lung transplantation. In order to meet this clinical need, novel approaches of tissue engineering have emerged. 3D bioprinting technologies are one such rapidly evolving approach and show promising results in terms of biocompatib

Isolation of mycobacteriophages for tuberculosis treatment Tuberculosis (TB) is the second deadliest infectious disease after Covid-19. Due to the recent rise in antibiotic resistance, new avenues for TB treatment need to be explored. Bacteriophages are viruses that can infect bacteria and kill them. Mycobacteriophages consist of a phage head containing dsDNA and tail fibres that are used to atta

Living to some extent in a partly or fully virtual reality is a scenario that may not be as far in the future as many may think, and the development of technologies that enable this is fully underway. This thesis investigates the commercialization of extended reality (XR) technologies in the consumer market and what may facilitate and hinder this commercialization. The emerging ecosystem of actors
