This paper analyzes the impact of skilled emigration on the economic development of sending countries. Specifically, our study is concerned with how feedback effects of brain drain may mitigate some of the loss incurred from the outflow of talent. We construct an endogenous growth model incorporating skilled emigration to consider in detail how the inflow of remittances, network externalities of t
During the past few years the focus on bioprocess monitoring and control has increased. An area still under intensive development is the sampling methods for efficient and rapid analysis during fermentations. In this thesis, an online-sampling and monitoring scheme was developed using the versatile automated continuous flow system (VersAFlo) for recombinant protein production. From the implementat
With modern day interest to continue the reduction of harmful emissions and improve the efficiency of combustion devices, the need to further improve upon accuracy and ability to describe combustive processes is of high value. Nowadays, multiple capable point (0D) and two-dimensional measurement (2D) techniques exist for flame investigation, however as combustion nearly always is a three-dimension
The accuracy and portability of depth cameras have increased by a lot in recent years, which allows for advanced 3D scanning of the environment for robotic applications. In this thesis we have developed a system that uses a depth camera mounted on a robot arm to identify and localize arbitrary objects, and give hints on how to move the camera to get better localization results. The system works by
CellaVision develops automated microscopy for blood analysis. Their products can pre-classify 19 different types of white blood cells and support the medical technologist performing the final classification. CellaVision provides reference cells. The reference cells are a fixed set of cells handpicked by a technologist, chosen to be typical for that specific class. The reference cells are static, i
This degree project aims to develop standard methods for determination of the size distribution in different samples using laser diffraction, as well as to create methodologies for development of new methods for unknown samples. The size distribution is crucial to understand for pharmaceutical products since it affects properties such as the stability and bioavailability of the product. A way to
The beverage packaging industry is growing rapidly, driven by urbanization and changing lifestyles. Demand for packaged beverages with extended shelf life is driving sales of products with superior barrier properties, due to the high environmental impact of food waste compared to packaging waste. Despite progress, packaging waste represents more than a third of total waste. Thus, milk and plant-ba
The thesis explores the decision-making process of sustainable entrepreneurs for securing external funds by adopting the “triple bottom line” research perspective (Hall et al., 2010; Sarango-Lalangui, 2018). It delves into how sustainable entrepreneurs assess and exploit funding opportunities while balancing their economic and non-economic goals. The research addresses two primary questions: what
Our thesis, The Valley Of Trust, attempts to build upon current literature on cultural diversity and its effect on trust by answering the question; How does cultural diversity affect trust within an international team? With the purpose of giving a more nuanced understanding of the role of cultural diversity and its impact on trust within international teams, we build upon the current literature an
The aim of this study was to deepen the understanding of how community-based water management approaches facilitate sustainable and collective action (SCA) in the context of increasing water insecurity in Costa Rica. Applying a qualitative approach, based on fieldwork in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, including semi-structured interviews and a digital community survey, the study uncovers facilitating fac

In the mountainous regions of Bhutan and Nepal, post-harvest losses cause significant challenges for producers. Open air sun drying is usually used by farmers to preserve their produce. There are many disadvantages to this method. The Swedish Research Council is supporting a project called Solar Food: Reducing Post-Harvest Losses Through Improved Solar Drying, which aims to create a low-cost solar
In recent years, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have gained prominence as a key technology enabling much needed electricity grid flexibility while simultaneously providing distinct value to its end-users. With the anticipated increase of residual value holding used batteries from mobility applications entering the market, more and more companies are looking to construct BESS offers around t
High-quality, thick III-nitride epitaxial drift layers with controlled doping are needed for next-generation highly efficient vertical power devices for a smart grid applications and electrification of mobility. Achieving desirable material properties, such as low background impurity concentrations and reduced dislocation densities in combination with high growth rates, necessary for practical app
This thesis aims to explore the issue of trademark squatting and its solutions in the EU and China. Trademark squatting is a form of trademark infringement that occurs when individuals or entities register trademarks in territories where they do not have legitimate business operations, taking advantage of the "first-to-file" systems. If trademark squatting is permitted to persist, it has
Neutrons have a magnetic moment that interacts with magnetic fields. This has been put to use to study magnetic materials. Polarised neutron imaging (PNI) is one such application that allows the observation of, for instance, magnetic domains and domain walls inside a sample. To facilitate a PNI experiment, the neutron beam from a neutron source needs to be polarised, meaning that the magnetic mome
Innovationshöjden för automatiska skjutdörrssystem under de senaste årtionden har resulterat i högteknologiska automatiska skjutdörrar, där tillbehören och användargränssnitten inte har utvecklats i samma utsträckning. Det har lett till att programväljare för skjutdörrar blivit omoderna och svåranvända för användarna. Syftet med denna masteruppsats var att tillsammans med ASSA ABLOY Entrance SysteThe innovation of automatic sliding door systems over the past decades has resulted in high-tech automatic sliding doors, where accessories and user interfaces have not been developed to the same extent. As a result, operating mode selectors for sliding doors has become outdated and difficult for users to operate. The purpose of this master’s thesis was to propose a new design for operating mode s
Special hatha yoga classes for musicians and variations of postures (asana) in normal yoga classes. Why and how to apply the different branches of hatha yoga in a yoga class. Practicing breathing exercises (pranayama), concentration (dharana)/meditation (dhyana), postures (asana) and relaxation (savasana). Safe physical exercises without pressure/bodyweight on hands and wrists. I chose postures co
Physical phenomena that are unexplained by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics, are the subject of the area of research known as physics Beyond the Standard Model (BSM). BSM physics contains many Dark Matter (DM) theories which have emerged; from particles such as axions, neutrinos, and Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), to primordial black holes and others. The range of exper
