Finding the right coatings for cutting tools is essential in order to increase the tool wear resistance and, thus, to get better surface roughness for the machined workpieces, and to improve productivity. A coating requirements are not only its mechanical and strength properties, but also its response to a given load and a given wear exposure. To expand ideas about the phenomena and mechanisms of
The backbone of modern computing systems rely on two key things: logic and memory, and while computing power hasseen tremendous advancements through scaling of the fundamental building block – the transistor, memory access hasn’tevolved as rapidly, leading to significant memory-bound systems. Additionally, the rapid evolution of machine learningand deep neural network (DNN) applications, has expos
We study the asymptotic behavior of deterministic, continuous-time imitation dynamics for population games over networks. The basic assumption of this learning mechanism --- encompassing the replicator dynamics --- is that players belonging to a single population exchange information through pairwise interactions, whereby they get aware of the actions played by the other players and the correspond
CD59 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell surface inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex (MAC). We showed previously that CD59 is highly expressed in pancreatic islets but is down-regulated in rodent models of diabetes. CD59 knockdown but not enzymatic removal of cell surface CD59 led to a loss of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), suggesting that an intrace
Problem statement This master thesis was initiated since today, when developing a new mobile phone at Sony Ericsson, it is difficult to get a perception of the ergonomics and the tactility of the keyboard before the first design prototype (DP0 and DP1) is built. The SLA block model used today is completely solid and consequently a secured decision of the final design can not be made in this phase
The project task is to install an industrial robot and to construct peripheral parts to an automation cell for a masspectrometer (MS) on Protein Technology. The MS is used to determine the concentration of different masses in a sample. The mass spectrum can be used for disease detection by determine which proteins that healthy people got and compare it to diseased people. The finished MS cell cons
Studien syftar till att få ökad förståelse för och insikt i berättelser, upplevelser och behov hos personer som har fått diagnosen borderline personlighetsstörning (BPS), och att utifrån deras perspektiv utröna vad som har varit viktigt och verksamt i mötet med vården och i behandling. Borderline personlighetsstörning är en psykiatrisk störning som ofta väcker starka känslor hos vårdpersonal, och The study aims to gain greater understanding and insight into the stories, experiences and needs of persons who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD), and from their perspective determine what is important and effective in health care and treatment. Borderline personality disorder is a psychiatric disorder that often arouses strong feelings in health professionals, and the
This thesis examines the relationship between financial development and economic growth. By reviewing previous theories and empirical studies about financial development and economic growth and financial development process in China, I assumed that there is a positive relationship between financial development and economic growth in China case. Then I use time series annual data from 1978 to 2009
Tetra Pak Global Technical Support AB (GTS) is a company within the Tetra Pak group which main task is to supply the whole world with spare parts for all kinds of Tetra Pak machines. GTS supplies about half a million different parts, which demands a large purchase organisation. This thesis deals with the so-called Sourcing purchase, which is a term for purchase of non-forecasted parts that have no
In recent years, it has become increasingly important to get as much as possible information on clinical efficacy already in the early phases of drug development. For proof of concept (POC) studies testing novel anti-inflammatory drugs in asthma, there are several validated exacerbation models, inducing various aspects of the airway inflammation and airway responsiveness. The choice of the appropr
Popular Abstract in Danish Summary in Danish Patientsikkerhed på hospital – forebyggelse af uventede dødsfald via systematisk anvendelse af et Early Warning Score system På hospitaler i den vestlige del af verden sker det, på trods af store indsatser for at øge patientsikkerheden, at indlagte patienters tilstand forværres alvorligt, og at nogle af disse patienter i værste tilfælde dør, som konsekAbstract In-hospital patient safety is at times hampered, leaving general ward patients at considerable risk of gradual, even life-threatening, deterioration. In many European clinical settings, inappropriate nursing practice of bedside monitoring and management has recently been addressed as impending to in-hospital patient safety. Vital parameters have for two decades been known to deviate in in
This study adds to the extensive body of research concerning different aspects of the Securitization Theory formulated by Buzan, Waever and de Wilde in Security: A New Framework for Analysis (1998) and focus on the theoretically underdeveloped relationship between the securitizing actor and the audience. The case studied is the securitization of homosexuality in Uganda with the proposal of the “An
Svensk sammanfattning I och med inträdandet av en avkriminalisering beträffande homosexualiteten i juli 1944 kom homosexuella handlingar att inte längre ses som något brottsligt. Kampen mot jämställdhet slutade inte där, det skulle dröja fram till 1979 innan homosexualiteten ströks ur Socialstyrelsens listor över sjukdomsbegrepp. Idag har homosexuella bland annat rätt att ingå äktenskap och adoptEngelsk sammanfattning Due to the entry into force for a decriminalization regarding homosexuality in July 1944, homosexual activities were not considered as something criminal anymore. The struggle towards a more equal society did not end there. It took until 1979 before homosexuality was removed from the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsens) register of illnesses. Today, homos
The peacebuilding phenomenon has come to dominate the peace and security research spectra. Questions concerning what defines a successful peacebuilding mission and how to get there, is consequently widely debated. In this study a new theoretical framework is therefore developed, with the aim to try to outline some key concepts that are important to incorporate in peacebuilding missions. With outse
The interest in sustainability is increasing in the society. In order to work systematically with the environmental issues, a lot of companies use management systems such as ISO 14001. This standard has recently been updated and includes many new demands which means that a lot of changes need to be managed at the companies that use the system. Thus, these companies must get a new certificate. In o
This study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand
It is well known that management concepts tend to spread from corporate to public organizations. Branding is an example of such a concept, with suggestions that it can address not only economic but also social issues, often referred to as “inclusive branding.” This ethnographic study explores how branding is received and spreads in a Swedish city, and analyzes efforts to use branding to tackle ine
