The adsorption behaviour of three food proteins, a soy protein isolate, a sodium casein‐ate and a whey protein concentrate, at the air‐water interface has been studied by the drop volume method. The kinetics of surface tension decay were evaluated in terms of different rate‐determining steps at different ionic strengths and concentrations. This analysis indicates the following characteristics conc
Microstructure and crystallographic texture are the key factors that determine the sputtering target properties. Clock rolling plays an important role in improving the microstructure homogeneity, but the effect of strain during rolling on deformation and recrystallization behavior is not clear. Thus, high-purity tantalum (Ta) plates were 135° clock rolled to 70% and 87% reduction and then annealed
Introduction: To our knowledge a biomedical model for validation of combined MicroPET/MicroCAT studies of the thyroid with 124I has not yet been developed. Such an in vivo physiological rat model could be of great interest for enhancing the possibilities of studying common thyroid diseases realistically and repeatedly. Furthermore, a well developed, realistic, and flexible model can also be of gre
Frigoscandia Freezer AB have seen themselves as an entrepreneur company for a long time, but have lately begun to realise that they have to go against a more administrative era. With that insight they have begun to examine their enterprise in order to achieve this. The division Team Spare Parts has started a project with the intention of checking-up the inventory management, and improving it for t
The EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy has been described as flawed or even non-existing by many critics due to its intergovernmentalist nature. One of the latest incidents illustrating the CFSP's malfunction came about in 2003 after the US decided to engage in a war against Iraq. The failure of the EU to generate a unified stance regarding the decision on how to act in Iraq was put f
Uppsatsen behandlar kommunal delegation och speciellt den myndighetsutövning mot enskild som sker på socialrättens område. Framförallt gäller myndighetsutövningen tvångsomhändertaganden och ansökan om tvångsvård enligt LVU. Uppsatsen består av en deskriptiv del där gällande rätt avseende kommunal delegation utreds. Begrepp som behandlas är bland annat ren verkställighet, beslut, lekmannastyrning, This thesis deals with municipal delegation and in particular the excercise of authority over individuals within the field of social law. Said exercise of authority primarily concerns compulsive preventive detention and applications for compulsory care under LVU. The thesis consists of a descriptive part where the applicable law regarding municipal delegation is investigated. Concepts covered incl
In market-driven software development it is crucial to produce the best product as quickly as possible in order to reach customer satisfaction. Requirements arrive at a high rate and the main focus tends to be on the functional requirements. The functional requirements are important, but their usefulness relies on their usability, which may be a rewarding competitive means on its own. Existing met
Two concurrent trends may fundamentally change how we understand the role of solar PV at high latitudes. Until now, relatively low annual insolation in combination with low electricity demand during the summer months has not favoured PV in the Arctic. However, continued decreases in costs for PVs in combination with increasing electricity demand from industrial electrification is quickly changing
PurposeIn oculoplastic surgery the eyelid tissue is frequently stretched in order to repair defects after tumor surgery. However, there is a paucity of research regarding how stretching affects eyelids. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into how traction force affects eyelid stretch as well as tissue perfusion, using a laser-based in vivo monitoring technique.MethodLower-lid pentagonal
Environmental degradation is one of the most significant challenges faced by humanity, yet current global politics struggle to implement collective solutions. Previous research has suggested that the EU has a leadership role in the international climate change regime complex, which refer to a set of overlapping institutions that address different aspects of climate governance. Moreover, within the
Sanitation work in India is largely carried out by the historically marginalized Dalits, formerly known as untouchables, without proper devices or safety gear, as so-called ‘manual scavenging’. To counter manual scavenging, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have turned to courts and litigation as a form of resistance. This brought about some successes: manual scavenging was repeatedly outlawed
This article analyses how urban densification, primarily in relation to ecosystem services, is addressed in comprehensive plans from three cities in southernmost Sweden: Malmö, Lund and Helsingborg. The aim was to investigate and problematise how the comprehensive plans articulate and negotiate how to build dense cities while preserving and enhancing ecosystem services. A qualitative content analy
I denna rapport har balkonginfästningar för en fastighet på Bo01-området i Malmö studerats. Fastigheten som heter Vitruvius innehåller fyra byggnader där två av dem har utkragande balkonger med intermittent infästning. Intermittent infästning innebär att den 50 mm köldbryggebrytande isoleringen som balkongerna är utrustade med, bryts regelbundet av en 300 mm betongklack. Armeringsjärnet som spänneIn this report the balconies’ abutments for a property in Bo01-area in Malmö has been studied. The property which is called Vitruvius contains four build-ings where two of them have corbelling balconies with intermittent abutments. With intermittent abutment means that the 50 mm thermal bridge insulation that the balconies is equipped with, is broken regularly by a 300 mm concrete heel. The reinfo
This thesis aims to explain the effect of Turkey’s accession process to the European Union on its asylum policy’s evolution. By applying two branches of new institutional theory––rational choice and social institutionalism––the thesis analyzed the Europeanization phenomenon of the European Union’s accession effect on domestic policy change. In order to do so, process tracing and document analysis
The aim of this study was to examine what people working closely with clients for non-profit organizations (NPOs) in Skåne and Cape Town think about conditions and challenges in regard to the organizations’ operation. The focus is on organizations working with substance abuse. We have had seven semi-structured interviews with people who work closely with clients in the organization. Three of them

Globally, enrollment in university education is increasing. However, the sub-Saharan Africa region is lacking behind and with 9% it has the lowest global gross enrollment rate (GER). Low inco
Ett förändrat omvärldsläge med en mångfald av globala utmaningar har satt strålkastarljuset på riskkommunikation. Det ansvaret faller till stor del på våra offentliga myndigheter, vars syfte är att förbereda och skydda allmänheten. Men hur väl når deras budskap ut? Denna fråga är särskilt relevant för unga vuxna, som har mindre erfarenhet av kriser men samtidigt är framtidens generation och därförA changing environment with a multitude of global challenges has put the spotlight on risk communication. This responsibility falls largely on our public authorities, whose purpose is to prepare and protect the public. But how well do they get their message across? This question is particularly relevant for young adults, who have less experience of crises but are the generation of the future and t
Upplevt socialt stöd, självkännedom och självmedkänsla är faktorer som tidigare visat sig hänga samman med tonåringars livstillfredsställelse och psykiska ohälsa i flera tvärsnittsstudier. Denna studie hade för avsikt att undersöka hur de ovan nämnda variablerna förhåller sig till varandra över tre år och om sambanden mellan socialt stöd och livstillfredsställelse respektive psykisk ohälsa medieraPerceived social support, self-awareness and self-compassion are factors that have previously been shown to be associated with adolescent life-satisfaction and psychological distress in cross-sectional studies. The aim of this study was to examine how these variables relate to each other over three years and whether the relationship between perceived social support and well-being, as well as psych
By all accounts, the global climate as well as the Swedish climate will become warmer for the foreseeable future, with consequences that have largely not been experienced before in northern countries. More intense and longer heat waves will become a more common phenomenon, and with that, Swedish municipalities need to be prepared for the effects. As municipalities are responsible for much of the b
