This thesis explores the concept of social capital in relation to the mobilization of citizens for a more active role in the development of their local society. A case study have been conducted investigating and comparing the approaches of two special types of limited companies for society development, both owned and established by locally based non-profit associations. Both of these associations
Föreliggande uppsats syfte är att undersöka i vad mån svensk rätt tillgodoser asylsökande ensamkommande barns rätt till en ställföreträdare under asylprocessen och vid ett eventuellt beslut om uppehållstillstånd. Uppsatsen tillämpar rättsdogmatisk metod. Syftet besvaras utifrån frågeställningar som ämnar ge svar om vilken rätt som föreligger till en ställföreträdare, vilken funktion den gode manneThe aim with this essay is to investigate how Swedish law accommodate unaccompanied children with a representative during the asylum process and if asylum are approved. Unaccompanied children are defined as children under 18 years of age who have been separated from both parents and are not being cared for by an adult who, by law or custom, is responsible for doing so. International conventions
The purpose of this paper is to predict the cost-effectiveness of a preventive health care project based on physical exercise that will take place at Medicon Village, Lund, in the fall of 2016. Data from the Health Survey for England is used to develop an empirical model with individual fixed effects that estimates the relationship between physical exercise and psychological well-being. The freque
Under flera års tid har återkommande förhöjda halter mikroorganismer förekommit i havremjöl på en av Lantmännen Cerealias verksamheter i Järna. Detta har lett till ett begränsat användningsområde och ökade kostnader. Syftet med utredningen var att upparbeta en åtgärdsplan för att förbättra hygienstatusen och minska de kostnader som de förhöjda halterna inneburit. Historisk data har granskats, en
The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibrils via erroneous folding, also known as misfolding, occurs in several diseases. As a consequence, the study of the kinetics and thermodynamics of this process is currently intensely pursued. Here, we study a minimalistic lattice-based model for amyloid formation using Monte Carlo techniques to sample the grand canonical ensemble, where the chemical pot
The Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) provides an alternative means of antenna synthesis in compact mobile handsets by taking into account the chassis. This makes it possible to create dual-element Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas in mobile handsets with very little coupling and correlation between the two antennas. But apart from the antennas, modern mobile phones are each equipp
Thymidine kinase 1 from tomato (ToTK1) is a newly discovered deoxyribonucleoside kinase (dNK) that has been subject to study due to its in vitro and in vivo properties making it an interesting suicide gene candidate for the treatment of brain tumors. The ToTK1 phosphorylates the nucleoside analogue 3-azido-2,3-dideoxythymidine (azidothymidine, AZT) equally well as its natural substrate thymidine (
In the present study, the enzyme thymidine kinase 1 from tomato (ToTK1) was expressed in E.coli and purified to near homogeneity by means of affinity chromatography. However, purified ToTK1 of bacterial origin displayed no substantial catalytic activity. Expression was also attempted in insect cells using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). Significant TK activities were detected in t
The relationship between business cycles and mortality has been a highly debated subject in the field of economics. The majority of previous studies, using the unemployment rate as the main proxy for macroeconomic conditions, have found ambiguous effects largely depending on how the effect is estimated. This thesis follows the methodology used by Ruhm (2000), but instead applies aggregate data for
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate a new methodology for brachytherapy of oesophageal cancer using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for treatment planning. That includes finding a suitable oesophageal applicator that can be visualised on MR images and to create dose and fraction schedule that should be used brachytherapy treatments. Material and Methods: A total of six patients were
Connective Boundaries is a personal reflection on how a worthy and comforting funeral ceremony can be designed without religious convictions. It begins with the acknowledgment that, today, the tension between the personal and the social experience of death has led to attempts to sanitize, hide and compartmentalize both the mourner and the deceased, alienating both. This project investigates the
This bachelor thesis shows how a mobile application can be designed to have the potential to induce its users to change their energy consumption and how the application can be designed to induce the users to return to the application. The project was carried out on behalf of- and in cooperation with Öresundskraft AB. The goal of the project was to create an application that would be used by the cu
In recent years, different methods for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size have been developed. This has been done in order to investigate if the size of the fat globules have any impact on the product functionality. The purpose of this master thesis was to develop a method for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size and with focu
This thesis covers specification and development of a distributed measurement system intended for CAN bus. It was completed at Scania CV, Södertälje in collaboration with Lund University. The goal of the thesis is to specifiy and develop a distributed measurement system that helps Scania with acquisition of functional and electrical data. Several topics are adressed such as filtering, at what spee
The research interest of this Master’s thesis is public librarians’ work life. The purpose of the essay is to examine public librarians’ experiences of work enjoyment, their valuations of work enjoyment and work motivation factors, respectively. The research was done through a web-based survey that was mediated via the e-mailing list “Biblist” that reaches the majority of Sweden’s librarians. The
Kågeröd is a village in the municipality of Svalöv with about 1500 inhabitants. The village has only one remaining grocery store, Coop Konsum, and the store is currently in a financial struggle due to to the high rate of crime that has affected the store during the past six months. When the inhabitants of Kågeröd found out that the store, which functions as a social meeting point, was threatened t
Designing and developing a software product is a difficult process. The product must be usable and solve the correct problem. At the same time, the underlying code must be well written. Many projects fail to deliver or exceed their budget. This thesis explores a practical approach to software design and development that tries to adhere to both user centered design and agile development. The proces
Malmö har utvecklats från att vara en industristad förr till att idag profilera sig som kunskaps- och evenemangstad. I takt med att nya visioner och mål satts upp finner man ett genomgående tema staden arbetar starkt för – en hållbar utveckling. En hållbar utveckling skall skapa det attraktiva Malmö, dit fler människor vill söka sig. För att uppnå visionen om att bli en mer hållbar stad beskriver
