This research investigated the liquid-phase removal of chloramphenicol (CAP), an emerging contaminant using molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs). CAP adsorption profiles, equilibrium, and kinetics were analysed. The adsorption performance was compared between MIPs and non-imprinted polymers (NIPs), both with silica or without silica grafting. The imprinting factor (IF) values for the Si@MIPs-CAP
Logistics is gaining increased attention in companies since interconnectivity is increasing, and the interdependence among actors is enhanced due to challenges organizations are facing today (market changes, novel strategies, and technological improvements). While the logistics discipline has been characterized by an efficiency focus based on positivistic assumptions, the challenges of today requi
In all works on medieval Iceland, we meet the same narrative of the conversion of Iceland to Christianity, which is supposed to have taken place in the year 999 or 1000 AD. But how does this narrative stand the trial of source criticism? Radical source criticism was introduced in Nordic historiography when Lauritz Weibull published his Critical Studies in Nordic History Around the Year 1000 in 191
Stochastic differential equations driven by standard Brownian motion(s) or Lévy processes are by far the most popular models in mathematical finance, but are also frequently used in engineering and science. A key feature of the class of models is that the parameters are easy to interpret for anyone working with ordinary differential equations, making connections between statistics and other scient
Sture Bolin, professor of history at Lund University from 1938 to 1963, was, from the end of the 1940s, a good democrat. But he had earlier been of a very different mind. He did not want Swedish students to join the new International Confederation of Students, the CIE, because it was French-dominated and because German students were not involved. He liked Imperial Germany, but not the Weimar Repub
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det övergripande syftet med föreliggande studie är tudelat. För det första syftar den till att på teoretisk väg etablera en dialog mellan queerteoretisk och socialpsykologisk teoribildning om aktörer och aktörsskap med utgångspunkt i en kritisk läsning av Judith Butler och George Herbert Mead. För det andra syftar den till att på empirisk väg utveckla och fördjupa dennaIn her widely quoted and criticised Gender Trouble, Judith Butler elaborates the idea that gender needs to be understood as performative – a certain kind of “doing” within the regulative realm of a hegemonic heterosexuality that is assumed to govern intelligible bodily configurations. Drawing mainly on psychoanalytical and Foucaultian arguments, Butler dwells upon questions concerning power and su
Inside the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SNBIC) are juveniles who are receiving treatment from pedagogues and assistants that are frequently threatening their caregivers. The threats consist of physical and verbal behavior. This type of working environment can be very bad for one's well being. The study focuses on investigating how the staff's well-being is affected by work
This Master Thesis was done in collaboration with Nederman AB in Helsingborg and the aim was to analyse and develop a suggestion for a new modernized Powerbox which is one of Nedermans products in the auto workshop segment. The Powerbox is a product for sourcing of compressed air, vacuum suction and electric power. Nederman is a strong brand and considered a market leader in many of its areas. The
This report is the result of a thesis in mechanical engineering focused on product development. The project was performed at MarineDiesel, a company producing diesel engines for marine applications in Ängelholm, Sweden. A need of a sterndrive strong enough for large diesel engines is present on the market. This thesis involves hydraulic systems and mechanical geometry for trimming and steering of
Kvicksilver, Hg, är ett farligt grundämne i miljön då Hg är ett flyktigt ämne. Hg blir farligt för oss människor om det ansamlas i kroppen i form av metylkvicksilver och kan orsaka skador på nervsystemet, njurar och fortplantningsorgan mm. Kvicksilver förs in i vår närmsta livsmiljö i allt större omfattning genom industriprocesser; vanligast är då förbränning av kol och användning i lampor, vulkanMercury is a a heavy metal and its presence in our environment constitutes an health-hazard for example in the form of methyl-mercury. Therefore, it is important to construct sensors to detect this pollutant. Research is also being performed on developing optical sensors and mercury can be detected through a range of methods, from point monitoring using Zeeman absorption to 3-D scanning of the atm
This essay focuses on the different functions of the physical book. It discusses the material and aesthetic aspects by examining how the book is portrayed in different kinds of lifestyle- and interior magazines. E-books and the expansion of digital technology have made the pessimists talk of the near end of printed books, but at the same time, books seem to have a secure place in our homes. They h
Entrepreneurs have difficulties in performing maintenance activities due to the increasing intensity of train services and failing infrastructure. Annually, the state loses billions of SEK due to delays caused by failures in infrastructure or maintenance not performed on time. The largest amounts of delays occur during winter time, when our infrastructure cannot cope with the climate as it is expo
The increasing demands on the vehicle market regarding cost effectiveness, efficient production and innovative solutions create an unforgiving environment for the suppliers. Haldex has developed Haldex Way, a management and improvement framework focused on lean production to meet these demands. Although lean methodologies are utilized at Haldex, Haldex Way has currently issues with consistency and
Popular science summary: Potential Distribution for the Endangered Asian Wild Ass Over the past century, large mammals have been globally under increasing pressure of humanized landscapes. Since extirpations of large herbivores are likely to have complicated consequences for the entire ecosystem, their conservation is a priority. With almost 81% threatened species, Perissodactyla (odd-toad ungu
This Master Thesis investigates changes in Thailand's foreign policy towards its neighbouring country Burma. It argues that Thai foreign policy towards Burma has experienced major changes during four periods between 1945 and the present. The thesis investigates these foreign policy changes during the four periods. What changes occurred? What were the reasons for the changes? What reasons domin
Lobbying within the EU is a welcome and frequently used way of constructing the policy process. The aim of this thesis is through a text analysis describe and understand the influence that interest groups have on especially the European Parliament but also the Commission. My objects of study are the three institutions of the European Union with an emphasis on the European Parliament. I use network
Lake Urema Wetland - literally and geographically the heart of Gorongosa National Park in central Mozambique and its main source of fresh water, is evidently vital for the ecosystem of the park, including all of its inhabitants. The extension area of Lake Urema Wetland varies strongly throughout the year, following a natural seasonal cycle. However, year to year deviations, together with the fact
