In the aftermath of the public protests now known as the “Umbrella Revolution”, many Hongkongers struggle to renegotiate what it means to be “Chinese”. Previous agreements about universal suffrage and political autonomy in Hong Kong, as outlined in the “One Country, Two System”-policy, now appear like broken promises. This thesis asks the question whether the Umbrella Revolution has changed the un
The advanced research that is being carried out in different science fields today requires advanced technologies; for the study of distant places and hidden elements of our universe tools like The Hubble Telescope, Voyager 2 and the Very Large Array has been to great use. In the same way, a neutron source and its instruments enable scientist to see and understand basic atomic structures and forces.
Unlike commonly used regular transformers, high voltage, high frequency, pulsed transformers are generally represented in special purpose applications. This often means that these electrical devices must be tailored in accordance with the specic requirements of the project. The pulse transformer under analysis in this thesis is a prototype machine variation of which will serve as an essential part
This qualitative study explores whether antithesis, as a didactic rhetorical tool, may enhance the likelihood of understanding complex biology-related information. Research shows that students lack the ability of communicating expert knowledge to laymen since they do not understand subject matter well enough themselves due to scientific language. Hence, scientific language use should be studied in
The successful construction of any well-functioning structure is dependent on a good understanding of the ground on which it lies. Several methods and techniques have been developed to model subsurface conditions and properties with the purpose of gaining comprehensive knowledge of geological conditions. Seismic refraction presents a geophysical method of subsurface investigation capable of provid
This thesis is about women between 20-25 years and their insecureness when they moving around Lund in the evening hours. I analyzed at which specific places in Lund women felt insecure, if the women chose to take detours. The thesis also answers which physical aspects of the places that makes the women feel insecure and also how the municipality of Lund have worked and planned the city of Lund wit
Climate change is an issue that can no longer be ignored and actions are taken all over the world in order to prevent the effects from becoming too severe. The energy system is transitioning towards more renewable energy sources and wind power has an important role in this development. The penetration of wind power in a lot of countries all over the world has increased rapidly during the last deca
En studie med fokus på vad som utgör detta glapp avseende platsmarknadsföringens vision för Malmös senaste upprustningsprojekt i relation till mottagargruppens attityd och beteende som bekräftar respektive förkastar dessa riktlinjer.
Youth`s leisure time is a valuable time which can be used by the society to improve their competences and prevent the youths from crimes which cost society in term of economic expenditure and public safety loss. Svalov municipality has been ranked, according to Kfmu, as one of the worst municipality in Sweden in providing recreational activity for their youths. The study looks at the relation betw
Project has different basis that must be completed to be able to present a finished product. Knowledge of the area and how the projection works will be used in efforts to implement the empirical study. Design assumptions are divided into two groups where some items are specific to a particular product while others are general conditions in all projects. The goal is to identify the conditions and a
Sustainable development is of great importance in today's society. An important aspect of this is the conserving of finite resources. The materials used in the manufacture of asphalt: aggregate and bitumen, are both finite resources. However, the two are highly recyclable. The rock material can be introduced without major issues since it is not significantly affected when an asphalt coating is
Crime prevention is an important part of the police duties and a part of increasing security in society. Crime prevention can be long-term projects, where some of the work might be visiting schools to promote children and teenagers from future crimes, or short-term projects when possible crimes are prevented in place. One type of crime prevention is to show the most crimefrequent locations with th
Sensitivities for elasto-plasticity are derived using the direct and adjoint method. An elaso-plastic response is solved using both theory for finite strains and infinitesimal strains. The sensitivities are then used to maximize plastic work and to perform a material parameter identification of the initial yield stress.
This master thesis is aimed at developing a docking station for Axis communications’ camera V5915. The docking station in this master thesis will only reach a proof of concept level. Axis communications wanted to try to make an accessory which would make a camera wireless in the means of both power and communications. Studies on batteries were conducted early on in the project to understand the This article describes the master thesis work performed at LTH and concerns the process of designing and building a prototype that makes an Axis Communications stationary camera completely wireless. This will be achieved by incorporating a Wi-Fi and a suitable battery into a chassis design. The data transfer rates of wireless communication has only recently reached high enough levels to support h
En trend i städers arbete för att profilera sig som cykelstäder och uppnå ett hållbart resande är att införa lånecykelsystem av olika slag. I Sverige har de etablerats såväl i Stockholm som i Göteborg och i augusti 2014 invigdes Lunds lånecykelsystem Lundahoj. Därtill planerar även Malmö stad att införa ett lånecykelsystem. Det faktum att Lundahoj ännu ej har utvärderats samt att det i regionen föThe report highlights Lund conditions for a bike sharing as well as the goals that are set for Lundahoj. In addition, the usage is studied and how well the bike sharing system works in relation to the objectives set by the municipality and how Lundahoj has contributed to more sustainable travel. The analysis shows that the proportion of users living in Lund (53 %) is slightly larger than the propo
The study investigates the way education policies affecting primary education provision have been implemented in Kenya to reveal issues derived from their implementation and the impact they have had on parent's choice of school. The study used a qualitative research approach where data was collected through a desk study and semi-structured interviews. The desk study was used for the purpose o

T cell-exosomer som biomarkör vid Typ 1-Diabetes Typ 1-diabetes (T1D) är en autoimmun sjukdom, där kroppens T-celler (immunceller) angriper bukspottskörtelns insulinproducerande betaceller. Insulin är ett viktigt hormon, som reglerar blodsockerhalten i kroppen. Destruktion av betacellerna leder till nedsatt insulinproduktion och därmed höga blodsockerhalter, som följaktligen leder till andra kompType 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a growing and serious health problem worldwide with highest incidence in developed countries and among children. It is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, characterized by destruction of β-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, resulting in deficient insulin secretion and hyperglycemia. The cause of the dis
I dagens kunskapssamhälle så ökar arbetsgivarens behov av att binda arbetstagare med särskilda kompetenser då de är så kallade nyckelmedarbetare. I vissa fall kan hela bolagets värde utgöras av arbetstagarna. Därför ökar också användandet av konkurrensklausuler. Normalt sätt så tar den sikte på arbetstagarens förehavanden efter det att denne har lämnat sin anställning. Men för de allra flesta så hThe necessity is high for employers to keep employees with particular skills in today's knowledge-based society. In some cases, the entire value of the company is based on the skills of the employees. Therefore there is also an increase in the use of non-competition clauses. Normally, it effects the employee’s actions after the employment relationship is terminated. For most people, it has als
