Bovine milk contains several enzymes which can affect the quality of milk. One of these enzymes are lipases which hydrolyse the triacylglycerides in milk. In this process off-flavours, odour and product defects are generated. By controlling the enzymes activity, milk quality can be increased and therefore milk and dairy products can be stored for a longer time. This is desirable since the world de
In the fall of 2007 a collective of artists in southern Sweden made waves for themselves by attempting to construct a rather unique ‘club-format’ unlike any other in the [then] current Swedish underground club scene. Guided mainly by a self-proclaimed ‘notion of confusion’ as its foundational principle, the collective behind Klubb Kristallen branded itself as an aspiring anti-club by seeking to ch
When an agitator is in commission for an extended period of time the impellers can become clogged. In order to clean the impeller, the agitator is runned backwards. This is one of the main functions for a product that CG Drives & Automation is developing for a customer in the agitator business. The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to develop and test this product for CG Drives & Automati
I september 2017 fick nazistiska Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen demonstrationstillstånd i Göteborg, vilket orsakade en stor debatt i Sverige. En liknande debatt väcktes i USA 1977 när en nazistisk grupp ansökte om att demonstrera. Händelserna väcker frågor; bör demonstrationsfriheten innefatta nazistiska demonstrationer? Vad är statens förhållningssätt till våldsamma motdemonstranter? Syftet med uppsaIn September 2017, the Nordic Resistance Movement received a permit to march through Gothenburg, which ignited a big debate in Sweden. A similar debate was had in 1977 in the United States (U.S.), when a neo-Nazi group applied for a permit to demonstrate. These events provoke questions; should the right to demonstrate include neo-Nazi groups? What should the state’s approach be to violent counter-
The failure or flourishing of companies in their core businesses can often be attributed to events and developments rooting outside their focus of attention. Many research streams are concerned with early detection, interpretation and acting upon these weak signals from companies’ peripheries - with Peripheral Vision by Schoemaker & Day (2006) being one of the most systematic approaches. Due t
Today’s modern societies are becoming increasingly dependent on the vital societal functions that technical critical infrastructures provide, for example availability of electricity, tap water and internet connectivity. Hence, it is of essence that these infrastructures are resilient to interruptions. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and contrast resilience levels of different types of
Massiv stress och behovet av återhämtning i stadens naturmiljöer. 300 miljoner människor lider av stress idag - ännu fler imorgon. Stress för med sig depression, utbrändhet och sjukskrivningar; de sistnämnda ökade med 69% i Sverige mellan 2010 och 2015. På ett av Sveriges största datorspelsföretag, Massive Entertainment i Malmö, verkar stress och världsrekord i spelförsäljning gå hand i hand. AnsMore and more people around the world are feeling stressed, and the consequences have become a global burden. At the same time, cities are growing both spatially and from within, creating competition for land which sometimes comes at the cost to our access to nature. Natural settings provide people with stress relief, and some of the feelings we perceive in nature are more efficient at this than o
Internationella diplomatiska relationer har länge formats av rätten och möjligheten för en sändandestat att upprätta diplomatisk verksamhet i en mottagandestat. Denna verksamhet föregår ofta på en ambassad, men kan också utföras på konsulat. Dessa diplomatiska, eller konsulära lokaler skyddas av en okränkbarhet som stipuleras av internationell lag. Okränkbarheten är absolut utformad och kan mot ba
Tropical forests are of great importance to all living-beings due to their high biodiversity and the valu-able resources, such as food and fuel, they provide. In addition, tropical trees sequester a high amount of carbon and consequently over half of the global forest carbon stock can be found in the tropics. Climate change, however, might weaken this carbon sink and possibly result in tropical fo
The purpose of this work is of evaluating the choice of HfO2 and ITO as the dielectric and the top electrode in high performance resistive random-access memory (RRAM), respectively. The study is twofold, as it quantifies performance according to standard figures of merit for this technology, as well as provides insight into the physics of current conduction for this material choice. Results are achi
I svensk rätt är tvångsinlösen av minoritetsaktier ett lagförankrat koncept. Det medför att en majoritetsägare i ett aktiebolag under vissa förutsättningar kan lösa in minoritetsägarnas aktier mot deras vilja. Är rekvisiten för tvångsinlösen uppfyllda förutsätter tvångsinlösen inte en överenskommelse mellan aktieägarna utan kan genomföras av majoritetsägaren ensam. En av de stora diskussionspunktA majority shareholder’s right to enforce an acquisition of the minority shares in a share company (Sw: “aktiebolag”) is protected by Swedish law. The protected right to do so entails that a majority shareholder, provided that certain prerequisites are met, is entitled to acquire the minority shares regardless of the minority shareholders’ willingness to sell. Thus, if the prerequisites of the pro
Vilka konsekvenser uppstår till följd av översvämningar och var riskerar de att bli som störst? Det är två frågor som vi bör ställa oss i arbetet med att minimera de negativa effekterna på samhället. De senaste åren har nyheterna om extremväder runt om i världen avlöst varandra. I samband med det förändrade klimatet förväntas både fler skyfall och perioder av torka att bli vanligare. Under sommarThe extreme short-term precipitation in Sweden is expected to increase due to climate change. This means that there will be an increased risk of floodings in urban areas. Several cloudbursts during the past decade have caused major damage to communities all over Sweden with high restoration costs as a result. To prevent further damage, solutions for managing increased amounts of water are needed.
Det är en varm och solig dag. Du ligger på rygg på en grönskande äng och ur ögonvrån ser du ett bi surra av och an tätt ovanför marken, på jakt efter nektar och pollen. Biet tar ett varv runt ängen medan du ligger kvar och funderar ett slag över hur ett sådant bi, som måste flyga hit och dit för att leta upp blommande växter, förmår att hitta hem igen. Dina tankar avbryts av ett surrande: biet närNeuromorphic computational networks, inspired by biological neural networks, provide a possible way of lowering computational energy cost, while at the same time allowing for much more sophisticated devices capable of real-time inferences and learning. Since simulating artificial neural networks on conventional computers is particularly inefficient, the development of neuromorphic devices is stron
Wildfires are increasing around the world and unlike building evacuations, the wildland urban interface (WUI) evacuations consider vehicle movement alongside the behaviour of wildfires. Tourists, as a diverse population, further complicate WUI evacuations due to factors such as language barriers, unfamiliarity with the area, varying levels of risk awareness, and the lack of access to vehicles.

Popular Abstract in Swedish I vår kropp genereras konstant ett stort antal nya blodceller för att ersätta de som går förlorade. Olika sorters blodceller är ansvariga för att transportera syre till alla våra vävnader, hjälpa till med blodets koagulering vid skador och att slåss mot infektioner orsakade av bakterier och virus. All blodceller härstammar från en liten population med blodstamceller somHematopoiesis is the process of blood formation from a limited pool of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). These rare stem cells can both self-renew to maintain the HSC pool, and differentiate to continuously replenish lost blood cells. The mechanisms of HSC regulation are not fully known. The aim of this thesis was to study the role of the Hippo signaling pathway in HSCs. The Hippo pathway is a newl
Feather mosses utilize various sources of nitrogen (N): they absorb N deposited on leaf tissue, they host N-2 fixing cyanobacteria, and they are able to take up N directly from soil. In addition to their importance as primary producers in boreal ecosystems, feather mosses play a significant role in N cycling. However, estimates of their ability to take up N from soil in situ are scarce. Further, c
