In the current work, partial denaturation mapping of DNA in nanochannels is studied with the goal to use this technique as a tool for the identification of bacteria. This method has the potential to simplify and speed up the diagnosis of bacterial infections. A partially denatured and YOYO-1-labeled DNA molecule displays a sequence specific pattern of fluorescent and non-fluorescent regions along

Pokémon Go is a Pokémon theme smartphone game released in July, 2016. The game surprisingly created a global boom of ‘Pokémon Go gaming engagement’ during the second half of 2016. This thesis is interested in the phenomenon, and wants to investigate how the factors including the technology of augmented reality (AR) impact the gaming experience and drive the gaming engagement in this case. The rese

The aim of this study was to understand how staff in residential child care experience and relate to their profession and their daily work with the children. The method chosen for this study was semi-structured interviews with eight professionals from three different residential care for children in the southern part of Sweden. To analyse the results, we chose the following theories and concepts;

Den svenska förmögenhetsrätten bygger till viss del på allmänna principer. En av dessa är den skadelidandes skyldighet att begränsa en uppkommen skada. Enligt den rättsdogmatiska metoden och ett kritiskt perspektiv med skadeståndsrättens funktion som komplement behandlar framställningen skadebegränsningsskyldighetens innebörd vid utomobligatoriska skadestånd, var gränsen går till jämkning till fölSwedish torts and contracts law is in part based on general principles of law. One principle of particular interest is the obligation the injured party holds to limit the damage. The questions raised in this paper is if there is a single definition of the principle with a coherent meaning, where and when the principle applies, where and when the rule of apportionment applies and also what function

Object detection is an important tool in computer vision and a popular application of machine learning. One of the main challenges in object detection, and machine learning in general, is acquiring sufficient training data. Many types of data can be hard or expensive to collect and label, or be subject to privacy concerns and regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This

Iceland is known for its remote location and rough beauty. In their seclusion, the Icelanders have built an independent and peaceful country. They are undeniably a very unique nation, where police officers are not allowed to carry guns, except on special occasions. The society displays a relaxed attitude towards prisons, which are built without concrete walls around. However, faced with the immens

Transparenta material som kan leda ström är viktiga för bland annat solceller. Nu har ett sådant material, indiumtennoxid (ITO), för första gången tillverkats i rekordliten storlek för att användas till exotiska solcellsprover på nanoskalan. ”Konventionella” solceller lider av ett problem som kan liknas vid grötproblemet Guldlock stötte på hos de tre björnarna: när solen lyser på solceller kommerNanowires have attracted interest as fundamental building blocks for electronic and optoelectronic devices as well as for fundamental research. Photonic studies of single nanowire devices typically involve patterning of metal electrodes for electronic access, yet plasmonic ef- fects between the metal contacts and the light source may perturb experimental measurements. An alternative to conventiona

Ultraljudsvågor används i många olika tillämpningar, t.ex. som sonar i vatten och för fosterdiagnostik. De kan också användas för att göra mätningar på olika material för att bestämma materialets tjocklek eller ljudets hastighet i materialet. Ultraljudsvågorna produceras och detekteras med hjälp av piezoelektriska element, t.ex. polyvinylidenflourid (PVDF)-film eller så kallade PZT-element (blyzirUltrasonic waves are widely used in different application e.g. for sonar scanning in water and fetal imaging. Furthermore it is used for doing measurements on different materials to determine the thickness of the material or the velocity of sound inside it. The ultrasonic waves are produced and detected by using piezoelectric elements based on e.g. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-film or Lead Zirco

During the fall 2015, it was 114 000 people who applied for asylum in Sweden and the integration became a frequently discussed topic. The school is an area where there's high potential for the newly arrived students to create a network and to be integrated in the society. However, that's maybe not the case as the researDches say that the schools get more and more segregated. This study exa

Kraftringens geotermianläggning i Lund har varit i drift sen 1984. Det är den enda stora geoter-miska anläggningen i Sverige. Efter mer än 30 års drift är det dags att utvärdera hur det har fungerat. Arbetet be-skriver de geologiska förutsättningarna som stratigrafi (formation), formationstemperatur, typ av akvifer, porositet, permeabilitet och vattenkemi, samt driftdata, systemuppbyggnad, funktioThe geothermal heat plant in Lund has been running since 1984. It is the only one of its kind in Sweden. After running for more than 30 years it’s now time to evaluate the experiences from the long operational period of the heat plant. This report describes the geological conditions like the formation, temperature of the geothermal water, aquifer, porosity, permeability, and chemistry of the forma

Title: Exploring Expectations of an Unattended Delivery Service: A Case Study in Sweden Author: Mary Catherine Osman Supervisor: Daniel Hellström Purpose of Paper: The goal of this thesis is to better understand Swedish consumers’ expectations of an unattended delivery box system such as Nowaste’s E-drop. Methodology: This thesis answers its research question through a series of case studies in w

In recent years the concept of “Blue carbon” has brought attention to the importance of Mangroves, Seagrass and Saltmarsh ecosystems in carbon cycles. Concerns over climate change has had countries commit to decreasing CO2 emissions, often using natural processes to sequester CO2. This trend has often followed a market approach through creating a monetary value and market for CO2. This Climate Fin

In the peak of the 2015 refugee crisis, Sweden stipulated a new law in order to give the system respite while recovering from the pressure that followed from the 162 877 asylum applications Sweden received that year. The Act (2016:752) on temporary limitations of the opportunity to be granted residence permit in Sweden entered to force on 19 July 2016 to apply for three years. The law constitution

Each year around 3.9 million girls around the world are victims to female genital mutilation/cutting. This custom is often a consequence of traditional, social and cultural norms within a society. In Sweden, female genital mutilation/cutting is illegal and punishable by law, and professionals have obligations to report if there is suspicion that a girl either is, or is at risk of being genitally m

Today’s human population is continuously increasing and this also increases the need of exploiting natural habitats. Increased exploitation results in loss of important habitats for different organisms, which in turn leads to biodiversity loss. The loss of biodiversity endangers the supply of ecosystem services, which is fundamental for human well-being. To mitigate the loss of biodiversity and ec

Ett för entreprenadavtalet utmärkande drag är beställarens ändringsbefogenhet, vilken innebär att beställaren under entreprenadtidens gång har möjlighet att ändra avtalets omfattning. Att utnyttjandet av ändringsbefogenheten vanligen medför produktionsförluster för entreprenören är den generella uppfattningen i branschen. Ersättning för denna typ av kostnader går att utfå med hjälp av AB 04 kap. 6A distinctive feature of the construction contract is the client’s authority to change the scope of the agreement. The fact that the use of the change authority usually entails production losses for the contractor is the general perception of the industry. Compensation for this type of costs can be obtained according to AB 04 chapter 6, clause 5, when a change order or a change in relation to the

This report presents combinatorics studies in the search for a resonance of below 800GeVwhich decay product is a pair of hadronic jets from quarks. The resonance, predicted as a dark matter mediator, has couplings to dark matter particles as well as quarks and gluons. The resonance is created in association with a radiated object that can be either a photon or a jet. In the case of the radiation b

During this project, flows of textile waste in Sweden were mapped and analysed. Much of the information in the report was based on a literature review performed in the beginning of the project. It was concluded that textile waste should firstly be re-used, thereafter recycled and as a last option incinerated. Turning textile waste into biofuel is not a reasonable option compared to incineration wi

About 96% of hydrogen is produced via chemical processes from fossil material globally and just 4% is obtained from environmentally friendly sources. Caldicellulosiruptor species are good candidates for hydrogen production via dark fermentation from a variety of substrates. They therefore provide a great opportunity to be used as decomposers of organic waste, lignocellulosic material and municipal

This study investigates which possible incremental solutions there are for reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases from the largest sources of emissions in Danish agriculture and they are implemented by national measures. This is important because Denmark is required to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions from the sectors that are not part of the European Emission Trade System with 39% by 203
