The project's main thesis is to verify the existence of local colours and colouring. The research is done in the rural areas of southern Sweden at dwellings from the 19th century. The results are supposed to show the different kind of colours used and to indicate orders for how the colours were combined during different times and in various geographical areas. To find out of the local traditional

Protein-carbohydrate interactions are of central role in all living organism. In the studies presented in this thesis several strategies for engineering such interactions have been investigated. In the first study the binding affinity of a carbohydrate binding module (CBM) was improved a 100-fold through affinity maturation. Also, in that study it was discovered that all the selected, matured muta

The international standard IEC 62264, also known as ISA95, deals with Enterprise-Control System integration and Manufacturing Operations Management. The standard contains, among other things, a description of what Manufacturing Operations means. The description states that The activities of manufacturing operations management are those activities of a manufacturing facility that coordinate the per

This paper describes some research stimulated by a fundamental shift that is occurring in the manufacture and marketing of aero engines for commercial and defence purposes, away from the selling of products to the provision of services. The collaborating aerospace company offers contracts under which it remains responsible for the maintenance of engines which have been purchased by airlines throug

Wind-assisted ship propulsion has gained increasing attention as a means of reducing fuel consumption and emissions in the maritime sector. This thesis studies the aerodynamic performance of an adjustable rigid wingsail designed to provide auxiliary thrust for ships. The wingsail consists of a NACA 0018-based main airfoil with a movable flap, where the flap deflection, hinge position, and gap betw

This study aims to examine how professionals within civil society and the legal sector engage in preventive work against human trafficking in Thailand, and how various risk factors and power structures are understood and constructed in their narratives. This thesis presents a discourse analysis of human trafficking in Thailand, with a particular focus on gender, economic vulnerability, tourism, an

Background: Previous studies on contact allergy to diabetes medical devices (MDs) are based on patients referred for patch testing due to suspected allergic contact dermatitis. Objectives: To present real-world data on contact allergy to MD allergens among diabetes MD users. To suggest a MD patch test series. Methods: Adults with type 1 diabetes using diabetes MDs followed up at two endocrinology

Understanding and manipulating micelle morphology is key to exploiting surfactants in applications from templating mesoporous materials to formulation of creams and lipid particles for drug delivery. The drive to replace toxic organic solvents in extractions, syntheses and materials processing as well as the shift toward use of natural components in formulations has led to increasing demand for su

Spiral galaxies, like the Milky Way, transform at some point in time into a rotationally supported system. Using an extant dataset consisting of 319,835 subgiants from LAMOST with precise ages from the literature, we determine, for the first time, the age when the Milky Way disk spins up, i.e., when the mean circular velocity changes from halo-like to disk-like. We find in concordance previous stu

Learning is a highly individual process. Some prefer learning by reading the course material, others learn best by listening to a lecture, whilesome like to learn in a trial-and-error way by themselves in a laboratory assignment. A good learning scheme is individual. A scheme that is good for some persons might not at all be good scheme for someone else. It is important to understand your own pers
