During the last decade, upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) doped with rare-earth (RE) ions have been extensively studied in the field of biophotonics. Due to their unique properties of anti- Stokes shifted luminescence and with excitation and emission wavelengths optimal for biomedical imaging, they have become an interesting class of fluorescent contrast agents. An issue with downconverting fluor

There are many old buildings in Sweden today that in many aspects are worth saving for the future. Much focus is also on how to reduce the energy use in buildings. This theoretical study tries to give an example on that it is possible to combine these two parameters without risking the physical wellbeing or the aesthetic value of the building. The house in this report is situated in Vä, a communit

In 2012 the Swedish government decided that Sweden’s first high speed rail shall be constructed. The railway is titled Ostlänken and forms a part of a potential high speed rail network. It also sets the technical standard for the new network, and therefore the possibility to improve technical solutions should be evaluated. The Swedish power supply system currently in use differs from the internati

I januari 1998 lades en del av länsväg 155 om till den nyöppnade Lundbytunneln i Göteborg. Tidigare leddes den motordrivna trafiken på denna länsväg längs bl.a. Västra Bräckevägen, Östra Bräckevägen och Stålhandskegatan. När trafiken lades om och ner i Lundbytunneln torde det bl.a. ha varit så att bullernivåerna vid nämnda vägar minskade. Det är därför troligt att marknadsvärdet steg på de närliggIn January 1998, the Lundby tunnel opened in Gothenburg. Prior to that, the motor driven traffic was routed on county road 155 (länsväg 155) along e.g. Västra Bräckevägen, Östra Bräckevägen and Stålhandskegatan. When the traffic was rerouted to go down the Lundby tunnel instead, the previous noise pollution levels caused by the traffic frictions were consequently reduced on said roads. It is a pos

Colour terms is a highly interesting field when investigating linguistic universals and how language vary cross-linguistically. Colour semantics, the investigation of the meaning of colour, consists in largely of two opposing sides: the universalists, proposing that colour terms are universal (Berlin & Kay 1969) and the relativists claiming a variation in meaning cross-linguistically (Wierzbic

Kan vetekli bidra till en hållbarare värld? Med ökad medvetenhet om vikten av ett hållbart samhälle ställs hårdare krav på företag att minska, och helst sluta, använda oljebaserade produkter. Nanocellulosa har visat sig vara ett bra alternativ till oljebaserade produkter i blandningar med andra material. Nanocellulosa har t.ex. börjat användas i skönhetsprodukter då det är ett naturmaterial som haNanocellulose is being studied to a great extent around the world as it has great potential and many possible applications, for example, as an additive in greener polymers in a world where the need for replacements for fossil fuel based polymers increase. Different sources of cellulose are being considered for the production of nanocellulose as this can add value to what otherwise often is a by-pr

ABSTRACT This bachelor thesis investigates whether there are any correlation between the political orientation of the incumbent party of a country and the performance of the stock market, i.e. will the stock market behave bullish or bearish depending on whether the political party is located on the right-wing or the left-wing? The study is performed with multiple linear regressions of 13 OECD coun

Materia är uppbyggd av atomer. Atomer är uppbyggda av tre typer av partiklar: protoner, elektroner och neutroner. Neutronen är beståndsdelen som blev sist upptäckt. Elektronen upptäcktes av J.J. Thompson. Ernest Rutherford upptäckte att atomer har en positivt laddad kärna. Det här var bevis på protonens existens. Under Rutherfords tid så visste man redan om neutronen men det var inte förrän 1932 d

This thesis explores the right to access employment for persons with disabilities under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It seeks to ascertain what entitlements and for whom this right entails. Given the central conceptual role disability and equality play in the Convention, this thesis explores the prevailing models of understanding of both disability and equality. Af

The growth of building energy simulation tools has provided users with a variety of alternatives to model and simulate buildings. The algorithms used in each building energy simulation software are different and range from simple to highly complex. TEKNOsim is a simple design tool based on analytical and empirical algorithms. It is used for calculating building thermal loads and simulating indoor

The objective of this paper is to examine how civil society members understand and define their role in the swedish democratic society. The study is attempting to describe how the civic engagement is inferred, more specifically in relation to the debate on LSS law and personal assistance policy. Its recent retrenchment in funds due to political constraint resulted in a wide-ranging debate concerni

I ett entreprenadavtal regleras det normalt huruvida det är beställaren eller entreprenören som ska bära ansvaret för att en entreprenad försenats. En situation som mer sällan regleras är vem av parterna som ska bära risken om det föreligger konkurrerande förseningsorsaker. Avsikten med förevarande framställning är därför att analysera hur en domstol skulle bedöma en entreprenörs krav på tidsförläNormally, the contract governing a construction project regulates whether the contractor or the employer shall bear the risk of a delay. Nevertheless, the parties rarely include in their contract provisions how liability for concurrent delays should be dealt with. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to examine how the Swedish courts would treat claims from a contractor for an extension of tim

Syftet med denna kandidatuppsats är att jämföra rätten till humanitär intervention med den på senare år utvecklade principen om responsibility to protect (R2P). Rätten till humanitär intervention innebär en möjlighet för stater att intervenera i en annan stat som kränker mänskliga rättigheter. R2P utgår istället från att suveränitetsprincipen inbegriper ett ansvar för stater att skydda sin befolknThe purpose of this bachelor thesis is to compare the right of humanitarian intervention with the principle of responsibility to protect (R2P). Humanitarian intervention implicates an opportunity for states to intervene with military force in another state that violates human rights. R2P implies that sovereignty comprises a responsibility for states to protect their populations. If a state is unab
