The aim of this thesis was to compare different ways of dissociating tissue - specifically breast cancer tissue - and sorting out tumour cells and immune cells from the dissociated tissue using acoustophoresis in a microfluidic chip. Due to ethical issues with using tumour tissues to work on the methodology of a project, ultimately only healthy breast tissue was used in this work. Two dissociatio
Overheating in buildings is a growing public health hazard becoming more prevalent with climate change. The research aimed to analyse how interactions between jurisdictional scales, urban stakeholders and policies promoting synergies affect adaptation processes in cities using overheating policies in London as an example. Understanding how these interactions affect policy implementation can ensure
This study examines relative clause (RC) processing in Persian learners of English and native speakers of English to explore whether or how different task demands, referential context information with three potential RC antecedents along with the variables noun type (definite, indefinite), RC length (short, long) and RC type (extraposed, non-extraposed) affect their processing, using both an onlin
Den svenska rättsstaten står inför allvarliga prövningar. Det grova våldet till följd av skjutvapen har ökat markant i Sverige, och risken för tredje man att drabbad av skjutningar och detonationer på offentlig plats har ökat. Samtidigt som våldet även blivit mer hänsynslöst och likgiltigt. Antalet brott inom denna kategori ökar, men uppklaringsandelen är låg. En förklaring till den dystra statistThe Swedish rule of law is facing serious challenges. The use of firearms resulting in severe injury has increased significantly in Sweden, and the risk of third parties being affected by shootings and detonations in public places has increased. At the same time, the violence has become more ruthless and indifferent. While this type of violence is increasing, law enforcement agencies are at a loss
Background: Today, the environmental challenge presents a growing concern for the food supply chains around the world; and developing countries in particular, suffer from it. UN Global Compact has defined environmental sustainability as dealing with three main environmental challenges: climate change, water and sanitation, and food and agriculture. Digital tools have disruptive potential, especial
This thesis investigates the legal professionals in Spain during the transitional period from the ancien régime to the liberal state, a period marked by institutional rupture, ideological conflict, and social reconfiguration. The study has the primary aim to understand how the legal professionals contributed, perceived, and resisted the extensive legal changes that took place approximately two cen
As the automation of industrial systems is becoming more and more complex, new methods are needed to further boost efficiency. Machine learning is a method where a computer learns to recognize complex patterns using large amounts of real-world data. The focus of this work is to leverage real-world industrial data from a sawmill to optimize one of the machines, the unscramblers. The unscrambler se
Social and climate-related challenges are closely intertwined. Existing research has shown that community’s ability to recover from extreme weather events is largely influenced by social vulnerabilities and societal resilience. In response, environmental justice has emerged as a potential tool to address these dual challenges in urban planning. Within this context, strategies such as urban densifi
Allteftersom företag har börjat att ompröva sättet de designar, tillverkar och avyttrar produkter inom ramarna för hållbar utveckling så har tillverkare av akustiska produkter varit långsamma ur startblocken. Majoriteten av akustiska produkter är fortfarande primärt sammansatta av nyråvara från petrokemiska resurser, vilka har en signifikant påverkan på miljön. Det är problematiskt ur både en miljAs industries have begun to rethink the way they design, make and dispose of products for the purpose of sustainable development, manufacturers of acoustic products have been slow off the mark. The majority of acoustic products are still made of primarily virgin material made from petrochemical resources, which have a significant impact on the environment. This is problematic from an environmental
This thesis is about the copyright protection for single dance moves. The purpose of this thesis is to come to a conclusion as to whether single dance moves could be protected by copyright in Europe and if it should be protected. These questions originate from the United State lawsuits against the gaming company Epic Games and their use and sales of allegedly copyright protected dances. The firs
In the last 30 years, a new mobile communications generation has been developed every 7 to 10 years. The last one that is currently under development is the Fifth Generation. This generation aims to fulfill a wide range of requirements for different use cases. To that end, a new radio access technology called New Radio (NR) has been developed. The main design principle behind NR is to allow enoug
Graphene have attracted attention recently due to its unique properties and opportunities for development of high performance carbon based devices. The intercalation, absorption and reactions processes of small molecules above and below the graphene islands hold the key for new perspectives in catalysis, molecular sensors and other technologies. The present master thesis is focused on the investig
The master’s thesis was performed in collaboration with the department responsible for the driver vehicle interaction at Scania CV AB. The interaction between the driver and the vehicle contributes to the usability and overall experience of the product as well as to safety. In order to create a good interaction it is important to evaluate it. The purpose of the thesis work was therefore to develop
När två parter formulerar ett avtal behandlas ett antal olika klausuler. I kommersiella avtal regleras ofta vilken tvistlösningsmetod som ska tillämpas på framtida tvister. Den dominerande metoden är skiljeförfarande. Skiljeförfarande är en typ av privat tvistelösningsform, där en skiljenämnd har behörighet att pröva tvistefrågor och meddela ett bindande dom. Skiljeklausulen anses vara ett självWhen two parties formulate a contract, several clauses are to be considered. In commercial agreements, a clause regulating which dispute resolution method should be applied on future conflicts is usually included. The dominating alternative dispute resolution is arbitration. Arbitration is a type of a private dispute resolution method, where an arbitration panel has the authority to try dispute qu
The product price given when producing offshore is not the entire truth and more companies decide to move their offshore production nearshore (Stentoft et. al, 2016). To measure the actual cost of producing many more parameters than visible costs needs to be taken account for. There are advantages as well as risks with outsourcing and costs can increase with distance such as quality issues, freigh
Chronological age is an important part of every person’s identity and in the Western communities it is given that everyone knows how old they are. However, it is not the case for people coming from certain countries in the Middle East where birth records do not exist and where it is highly unusual for someone to celebrate a birthday. Many unaccompanied children from, Middle East apply for asylum i
Since the Washington consensus in the 1980s, economic liberalization has been seen as a panacea for increasing the economic development and the welfare of a developing country. By reducing trade tariffs and barriers, moving from a socialistic economic system and removing state monopoly on major exports, it is believed that a developing country will increase its income and economic growth while ben
An environmentally hazardous activity, where surface water management exists, can be bound by Swedish law to apply for an environmental permit or has a duty to report its activity. In recent years, the environmental permitting regulations have undergone comprehensive changes where old practices and environmental quality standards are phased out and new ones introduced. In this study, a previously
