Studien genomfördes för att undersöka hur den mekaniska hållfastheten i tabletter kunde förbättras för att därmed kunna undvika en av de vanligaste tablettdefekterna, så kallad lockning. Tre formuleringar togs fram vilka resulterade i tabletter utan tendenser till lockning. Utöver det visade det sig möjligt att, genom en kemometrisk metod, förutspå det intervall av presskraft som genererar mekanisCapping and/or lamination occur as a result of low mechanical strength in tablets. The mechanical strength can be enhanced with suitable formulation- and process parameters for the tablet powder in question. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate capping tendencies of mannitol based tablets. More specifically, the effect of varied particle size of mannitol, type and concentration of bind

This paper examines youth engagement within the Global Landscapes Forum, a conference that took place in Paris, December 2015, and its contribution towards moving intergenerational equity forward. Youth are considered one of the main stakeholders when it comes to decision-making in long-term environmental issues as they are part of the current generation that are likely to face the implications of

Företagsförvärv sker inte sällan genom apportemission. D.v.s. att förvärvande bolag ger ut nya aktier i utbyte mot målbolagets aktier. På så sätt sker förvärvet utan användande av bolagets likvida medel. Detta upplägg medför uppenbara fördelar, men likväl en del nackdelar, såsom förändrade maktförhållanden i bolaget, kringgående av befintliga aktieägares företrädesrätt samt risk för negativa konseCompany acquisitions are not seldom done through a non-cash issue. That is, that the acquiring company puts out new shares in exchange for the targeted company's shares. In this way the acquisition takes place without using the company's floating assets. This approach brings obvious advantages, but also some disadvantages, such as the change in power relationships in the company, the circu

Recently, a widespread attention has been given to the protection of traditional cultural expressions and traditional knowledge. Their legal protection is even more urgent in the current global society. The focus in this thesis has been given to the copyright protection of traditional cultural expressions (TCEs). The purpose of this thesis is to assess the protection of TCEs under the copyright la

The phylogeographical evolution and the consequent changing distribution and diversity of rhynchonelliform brachiopods through the Ordovician are linked to the dynamic palaeogeography of the period. The Early Ordovician (Tremadocian and Floian) is characterized by globally low-diversity faunas with local biodiversity epicentres, notably on the South China Palaeoplate; low-latitude porambonitoid-do

Abstract We live in a world today that is characterized by the Internet. We can get hold of people on the other side of the globe whenever we want and we can purchase what ever we want, from who ever we want, anytime we want. This development has made it important to find systems of dealing with the payment in a safe and secure way, both for a private person as well as for a company, when you do t

Vad är det egentligen som är så roligt? Denna fråga ställer man sig lätt när man tittar i gammal svensk skämtpress, som var en typ av tidning med en storhetstid kring sekelskiftet och första världskriget. De var roliga tidningar, men humor i historisk tid kan vara svår att förstå. För att göra detta behövs humorn sättas in i sitt sammanhang, och det är just detta jag har försökt göra. SammanhangetWhat makes something funny? This is the most basic, underlying question to this thesis, which explores the Swedish satire magazines Söndags-Nisse, Naggen and Strix on their journey through the pinnacle of the Swedish democratization process during the years 1918 to 1922. These types of magazines were of great popularity throughout all of Europe during parts of the late 19th century up until the in

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most aggressive type of primary brain tumours in adults and accounts for 49.1% of the cases. Most of the cases are recorded in elderly patients, but GBM affects people of all age groups. Till date no cure has been found. Previous data has suggested that pericytes might influence tumour invasion by interacting with tumour cells by the secretion of or interaction with extra

Vilka konsekvenser uppstår till följd av översvämningar och var riskerar de att bli som störst? Det är två frågor som vi bör ställa oss i arbetet med att minimera de negativa effekterna på samhället. De senaste åren har nyheterna om extremväder runt om i världen avlöst varandra. I samband med det förändrade klimatet förväntas både fler skyfall och perioder av torka att bli vanligare. Under sommarThe extreme short-term precipitation in Sweden is expected to increase due to climate change. This means that there will be an increased risk of floodings in urban areas. Several cloudbursts during the past decade have caused major damage to communities all over Sweden with high restoration costs as a result. To prevent further damage, solutions for managing increased amounts of water are needed.

I dagens samhälle finns det en stor drivkraft att verka för mer hållbara alternativ till de fossila material som varit allmänt förekommande i flera områden av bland annat energiproduktion. Den begränsade mängden kombinerat med de klimatförändrande effekterna av växthusgasutsläpp skapar inte bara en efterfrågan utan gör det ytterst nödvändigt att hitta nya vägar för samhällsutveckling. En sektor soAs concerns grow ever larger about the negative effects of CO2 emissions, the use of hydrogen gas as an alternative to fossil fuels is becoming a more attractive objective. This however, requires practical ways of storing and transporting a highly flammable gas and is generally not compatible with much of the existing infrastructure. One proposed solution to this problem is implementation of liqui

Today’s supply chains have become more global than ever before, which has brought out an enormous increase in environmental damage such as CO2 emissions. In an initiative to become more environmentally friendly, Swedish Food Federation has launched a joint sustainability manifest. 41 food producers in Sweden have joined this initiative and The Company is one of them. The manifest consists of five

In this study, I have investigated “the elephant in the room”, namely the tension surrounding discussions and interactions regarding ethnicity and race in Sweden. Specifically, my aim has been to unveil the dominant ideas that “whites” and “non-whites” use to morally navigate through tensions in this multicultural society. Methodologically, I have conducted four focus group interviews with student

Examensarbetet syftar till att jämföra olika insamlingssystem för matavfall från flerfamiljshus. För att uppnå Sveriges miljömål finns etappmål som anger att minst 50 % av matavfallet ska källsorteras och behandlas biologiskt för att ta tillvara på energi och/eller näring till senast år 2018. Detta innebär att antalet hushåll med tillgång till separat sortering av matavfall måste öka. Det vanligaTo facilitate the fulfilment of Sweden’s environmental objectives, there are interim targets regarding e.g. food waste. For instance: at least 50 % of food waste should be source separated and biologically treated to make use of energy and/or nutrients, by 2018 the latest. To achieve this, the number of households with access to separate collection of food waste must increase. The aim of this mas

Ett av livets största beslut är beslutet om föräldraskap. Det är dessutom ett beslut som i slutändan görs av modern, eftersom det är hon som tar beslutet om abort. Härigenom uppstår en situation som inte är jämställd, vilket har orsakat en viss debatt den senaste tiden. Debatten gäller huruvida det bör finnas en rätt för fadern att göra en så kallad juridisk abort, alltså en möjlighet att avsäga sThe choice to become a parent is not an easy one to make, moreover it is today a choice more likely to be made by the mother. She has the opportunity of abortion, whereas the father can’t affect his becoming a parent after the moment of conception. This constitutes a situation of inequality between the sexes, which this year has caused a debate to arise in social media as well as in news papers. I

In the fall of 2007 a collective of artists in southern Sweden made waves for themselves by attempting to construct a rather unique ‘club-format’ unlike any other in the [then] current Swedish underground club scene. Guided mainly by a self-proclaimed ‘notion of confusion’ as its foundational principle, the collective behind Klubb Kristallen branded itself as an aspiring anti-club by seeking to ch

Purpose: Return policies are an important component for consumers when making a decision to transact with an E-tailer, as such it is equally important for E-tailers’ that the returns policy aids in this decision by reducing information asymmetry. While lenient return policies have the ability to influence the customer positively, they are also subject to opportunistic behavior from consumers, as

Metalliciteten hos en stjärna är den del av materien som inte består av helium eller väte. Detta innebär att när en astronom talar om metallicitet, inkluderar hon även icke-metalliska grundämne, såsom kol, syre eller något av de tyngre grundämnena. Genom att studera metalliciteten hos en stjärna kan vi lära oss en del om dem, till exempel dess ålder och ursprunget för var våra grundämnen kommer ifAn investigation has been done in order increase the understanding of the origin and chemical evolution of copper in the Milky Way stellar disks. This is interesting to know as it plays a part of the Galaxy puzzle, so we become more able to map how and why galaxies look like they do. The atmosphere of a star keeps information about how elemental abundant the Universe was at the time and place of

Skatterättslig företrädaransvar innebär att en företrädare för ett bolag blir solidariskt betalningsansvarig med bolaget för dess obetalda skatter. När Skatteverket upptäcker obetalda skatter hos bolag och anser att företrädaren har agerat uppsåtligen eller grovt oaktsamt ansöker de om företrädaransvar hos förvaltningsrätten. Företrädaren kan sedan bli befriad från betalningsansvaret om särskilda Liability of a representative within the area of tax law means that a representative of a legal entity becomes jointly liable with the company for the company's unpaid taxes. When the Swedish Tax Agency discovers such an unpaid tax, they apply for liability of a representative at the administrative court if they consider that the representative has acted intentionally or grossly negligently.

Medans världens fossila bränslereserver sinar har utvinningen av fossilgas genom hydraulisk spräckning, allmänt känt som fracking, vunnit mark internationellt. Parallellt med detta uppenbarar sig klimatförändringarnas katastrofala effekter och tiden är knapp för att ställa om global energiproduktion innan medeltemperaturen når så kallade ”tipping points”. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utforska dAs the world is running out on conventional fossil fuel reserves the extraction of fossil gas through hydraulic fracturing, commonly known as fracking, has gained further ground internationally. In parallel, the escalating and disastrous effects of climate change are evident and time is running out to adjust energy production systems in order to avoid tipping points of global temperature levels.
