In this study, we developed a microdispenser technique in order to create protein patterns for guidance of neurites from cultured adult mouse dorsal root ganglia (DRG). The microdispenser is a micromachined silicon device that ejects 100 picolitre droplets and has the ability to position the droplets with a precision of 6-8 mu m. Laminin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used to create adhesive a
Purpose: Rollators are used in order to make mobility possible for people with restricted walking ability. The use of rollators is increasing, but little is known about outcomes. The aim of this study was to investigate users' satisfaction with rollators. Method: A follow-up study was carried out in seven Danish municipalities. One month after they got their device, 89 users of rollators were inte
Quantitative soil mineralogy has been identified as a key factor influencing PROFILE weathering estimates, and is often calculated with normative methods, such as the “Analysis to Mineralogy” (‘A2M’) model. In Sweden and other countries, there is a large request for accurate base cation weathering estimates in order to establish how sustainable harvest of biomass should be performed in the future.
BACKGROUND: Intracerebral microdialysis (MD) was applied in patients with severe subarachnoid haemorrhage treated in a neurosurgical intensive care unit in order to explore their cerebral energy metabolism.METHOD: Brain MD fluid levels of glucose, lactate and pyruvate were measured for 3 to 12 days in 20 patients and 2,635 hourly samples were analysed. The MD data were related to computerized tomo
Entomological radars employing the 'ZLC' (zenith-pointing linear-polarized narrow-angle conical scan) configuration detect individual insects flying overhead and can retrieve information about a target's trajectory (its direction and speed), the insect's body alignment and four parameters that characterize the target itself: its radar cross section, two shape parameters and its wingbeat frequency.
Agile software development promotes process adaptability throughout the life cycle of a project. A project is often broken down into smaller tasks and each task involves a cross-functional team working with all functions. There are many different agile methods, which focus on different aspects of the software development life cycle. Two of these agile methods are Kanban and Scrum, which focus on m
I denna uppsats utreds frågan om målsäganden borde ges mer bestämmanderätt i åtalsfrågan och möjlighet att bestämma form för konfliktlösningen - traditionell rättegång eller medling. Uppsatsen diskuterar också om målsäganden bör ges mer inflytande över huruvida rättegång ska inledas eller inte, genom att fler brott omvandlas till målsägande- respektive angivelsebrott. Uppsatsen slår fast att en The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether the plaintiff oughts to have a stronger influence on the question of intitation of legal proceedings in a crime case. The thesis also analyses whether the plaintiff should have the possibility to choose in which form the conflict should be solved – through a traditional trial or mediation. Further it discusses if more crimes should be turned into a
Examensarbetet undersöker möjligheten att låta avbördningskapaciteten – det vill säga sambandet mellan vattennivå och vattenföring – vara vägledande för bedömning av underhållsbehovet i åar och diken. Den potentiella nyttan av en sådan metod bedöms vara hög då den skulle kunna minska frekvensen av omotiverade underhållsinsatser som påverkar vattenmiljön negativt. Arbetet utgår från ett dikningsförThis master thesis project investigates the possibility of using stage–discharge relationships for evaluation of river maintenance demands. In Sweden, the potential benefit of this type of methodology is considered high, in order to prevent unnecessary maintenance activities which are harmful for the aquatic environment. The study is focused on a ditching organization in Höje River in southern Swe
The purpose of this paper was to research how environmental concerns and sustainable thinking could be integrated into the design process of Electrolux, a Swedish home appliance manufacturer. The research will hopefully help the Electrolux industrial design department improve in the area and prove as a good case study for other companies or academic institutions. Electrolux conducts much research
Detta är en kombinerad kvantitativ och kvalitativ studie om gymnasieelevers instrumentval. I denna undersökning kommer elevernas egen åsikt att bli hörd i fråga om varför, vad och hur de gör när de väljer sina instrument. Hur ser elever på sina egna och andras val av instrument? Vilka faktorer finns det som påverkar elever i deras instrumentval? Om det är så att tjejer och killar väljer olika instThis is a mixed method research study about the instrument choices of upper secondary school students. The students’ own opinion regarding instrument choices is examined. Factors such as why and how a particular instrument has been chosen have been discussed. How do the students look at their own and others’ choice of instrument? What factors influence their choices? What does the distribution of

In order to understand how the Pleistocene glacial cycles have influenced the diversification in the Reed Bunting (Emberiza schoeniclus) subspecies complex, we conducted a multilocus phylogeographic study. We analysed DNA sequences from 32 breeding populations, covering the species’ Palearctic distribution, and used population genetics, phylogenetic and coalescent methods to uncover genetic struct
This study investigated whether anchored prices induced biased choices and time estimations for the pursuit of an equal discount and if different degrees of social distance influenced these biases. A new measurement for quantifying the relative degree of bias was also proposed. A sample group of 142 students were tested from a university in southern Sweden. In a repeated measure design, each parti
Bomull är en huvudkomponent i majoriteten av kläder som tillverkas och har därför blivit ett standardmaterial i dagens samhälle. Bomull odlas på flera platser runtom i världen, men bomullsväxten kräver ett speciellt klimat, stora jordytor samt en enorm mängd vatten för att trivas. De här kraven har gjort att produktionen av bomull inte kunnat hålla jämna steg med den ständigt ökande efterfrågan på
Det allmänna preferenssystemet GSP är ett av EU: s viktigaste unilaterala handelsavtal som ingås med utvecklingsländer. För att gynnas av behandlingen måste länderna uppfylla särskilda kriterier. Ett av villkoren är ratificering och effektiv implementering av ett antal internationella konventioner om mänskliga rättigheter. Bland dessa ingår Internationella arbetsorganisationens (ILO) internationelThe Generalised Scheme of Preferences (GSP) is one of the EU’s most important unilateral trade measures which grants tariff preferences to developing countries. In order to receive this preferential treatment countries are required to fulfil specific criteria. One of the conditions is the ratification and effective implementation of a number of international human rights conventions. Among these,
With the diminishing reserves of oil and the growing public concern for environmental issues, the end of gasoline powered vehicles is getting closer each year. To prevent this from causing the personal and comfortable way of transportation mankind has gotten used to, to die with them, an alternative without the downsides of the gasoline engine must be developed. The environmentally friendly electr
Empowerment is a well-known slogan that symbolizes the struggle of marginalized groups against social injustices. This thesis is another contribution to the field of empowerment, addressing the issue of misusing public funds. Public Expenditure Tracking Survey, PETS, is a methodology that has been carried out in order to fight against this issue. In this study, the aim is to scrutinize whether PET
When analyzing contaminated soil today, the method used consists of taking five samples from an area of 20 times 20 metres. Then UCLM95 (95 per cent upper confidence level of the mean) is calculated and compared to critical levels. The issue with this specific method becomes evident when the results often come out inaccurate, which leads to an assumption that the soil is not as contaminated as it
