Leverering av substanser inom både livsmedels- och läkemedelsindustrin är viktig. Detta för att de aktiva ämnena måste nå dess verkningsställe utan att brytas ned eller påverkas av yttre faktorer. Av dessa anledningar har det har blivit mer populärt att studera nya aggregat, som skall möjliggöra för mer produktiva, effektiva och stabila levereringar från en utgångsplats till målet. Genom att studeLipid liquid crystals (LLC) have been studied widely because of their broad application in both food- and pharmaceutical industry. Inverse bicontinuous cubic phase of LLC have been of particular interest as it has three-dimensional structure and has been proven to be able to incorporate and deliver substances (e.g. topical drug delivery). There is a growing interest to prepare hybrid responsive li

Denna studie undersöker den politiska och allmänna diskurs som konstruerar identiteten landsbygdsbo i Sverige, samt vilka konsekvenser denna diskurs har gällande förväntningar på, och förväntningar hos boende i rurala regioner i Sverige. Studien fokuserar på stängningen av Sollefteå BB i Sollefteå sjukhus, Västernorrlands landsting (numera region), i januari 2017 och den ockupation av sjukhuset soThis study examines the political and popular discourse that constructs the identity of the rural citizen in Sweden, and what consequences this discourse has on expectations on, and expectations of rural citizens in Sweden. The study focuses on the closing of the birthing clinic in Sollefteå hospital, Västernorrland county, in January 2017 and the occupation of the ward that followed thereafter. E

Ribonukleotidreduktaser (RNR) är livsviktiga enzymer som är involverade i nästan alla levande organismer. Enzymernas uppgift är att omvandla ribonukleotider (NTPer) till deoxyribonukleotider (dNTPer), byggstenar som är essentiella för såväl DNA-syntes som DNA-reparation. Enzymernas aktivitet baseras på en radikal-mekanism som skiljer sig, vilket gör att RNRerna är uppdelade i tre olika klasser. UtRibonucleotide reductases (RNRs) are important enzymes that convert the building blocks of RNA (NTPs) into building blocks of DNA (dNTPs). dNTPs are used for synthesis of DNA as well as repair of mutated and damaged DNA. These cellular processes are critical to an organism. That is why these processes are found in various organisms. Since these processes are so essential, their allosteric regulati

The purpose of this study is to examine representations of problems with honor related violence as they are represented in Swedish newspapers and how these representations are related to the academic discourse on honor violence. The newspapers upon which this study is based are Aftonbladet and Svenska Dagbladet. The study focuses on a Swedish context. This work is based on a qualitative approach w

Participation in urban development processes is increasingly demanded by citizens. In fighting for the ‘Right to the City’ urban social movements are acting as representatives of citizens and are incorporated within a complex network of power relations between several stakeholders involved. Theses power relations shape the extent of citizen participation in these processes. This thesis aims at con

In the last couple of years, an increase of electric bicycle users has been shown in Sweden, a trend that is assumed to continue. With an electric bicycle, the ability to reach a higher speed, and with greater acceleration, enhances compared to a traditional bike. For the surrounding road users, these factors makes it difficult to determine speed and risks which can lead to an increasing uncertain

This paper investigates the relationship between generalized trust and the size of government. Generalized trust has declined during the past 35 years globally. This matters for several reasons including that generalized trust correlates with growth, political participation and stability in society. To test this relationship, we use the World Value Survey and the European Social Survey together wi

Present essay investigates if the systemic riskiness of Eurozone and US systemically important banks decreased subsequently to the Global Financial Crisis of 2007/2008. For each of these institutions, time series of the analytical systemic risk measure MES are estimated based on public information. This is done using a bivariate time series model and involves estimation of time varying conditional

Marketing in the publishing industry is not a new phenomenon, but over the last ten years it has gotten a more central role within publishing. Technology has created new possibilities, but also changed our media habits. These changes have brought on a new kind of marketing. These days, social media marketing occupies a more central role in companies’ marketing strategy – and publishing houses are

Studien syftar till att undersöka hur olika faktorer påverkar svenska börsnoterade fastighetsbolag. Studien är baserad på en kvantitativ metod. Den insamlade empirin har bearbetats i MS Excel för att erhålla finansiella styrmått. Studien grundar sig i tidigare forskning för hur olika faktorer påverkar val av kapitalstruktur. Teorin är baserad på andra marknader men även på fastighetsmarknader i an

This project has investigated the performances of Capsule Networks in comparison to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) on white blood cell image classification at CellaVision. The Capsule Network models that were investigated are EM Routing Capsule Networks (EMCNs) and Dynamic Routing Capsule Networks (DCNs). The models were compared with regards to convergence rate, speed, and accuracy performan

The unattended collection and delivery point (UCDP) is one of several solutions to address the delivery issues arisen by increasing online retail sales. There are four solutions of the UCDP concept: the traditional parcel locker, the automated box design, the automated pillar design and the cart design. Moreover, the physical dimensioning of a UCDP mainly needs to consider the number of orders, or

In empirical economics, the generalized method of moments (GMM) is one of the most widely used methods for estimating models with fixed effects, such as the dynamic panel model. For the dynamic panel model, the two most widely used GMM-based estimators are the so-called difference GMM and system GMM estimators. However, it is typically the case that such estimators are asymptotically biased of order

In recent memory the question of climate change has been at the forefront of a great deal of debates at the international level and with the Paris Agreement and the continuation of COP-meetings in the future, the preoccupation with climate change is sure to continue and to involve many different actors. The question of how a state such as Denmark, traditionally known as a state dedicated to fighti

In recent years, insufficient obstetric care has been a highly debated topic in Swedish media and politics. However, despite reports on e.g. the country’s high prevalence of birthing injuries, the recent closing of numerous maternity wards and a severe lack of midwives, the development of Sweden’s medical birth outcomes has been stable. Thus, based on the assumptions that (I) said quality measurem

Communities of Practice (CoPs) have been featured heavily in the literature of organisational learning and knowledge sharing in recent years. However, the concept denotes a paradigmshifting learning theory that goes beyond a mere management tool. In the present text, we review the CoP literature and argue that it lacks an elaborate explanation of CoPs’ organisation, resorting to saying they are ‘s

Following the UNHCR:s launch of the #IBelong Campaign to End Statelessness by 2024 in November 2014, a Global Action Plan to End Statelessness: 2014 – 2024 was adopted urging states to undertake ten actions to end statelessness, including to facilitate the naturalization of stateless migrants. While the facilitated naturalization of stateless persons would certainly reduce the occurrence of statel

Semantic Web technology has attracted much interest for its ability to integrate and deliver information from different sources, and increasingly, geodata are being published as triple data according to the graph structure laid out in the Resource Description Framework (RDF). Although the Semantic Web already contains a large volume of geotagged information, there is still a lack of suitable geome

The world as we know it today has evolved to be a very connected space, where not only ICT’s (information & communication technologies) have made it easy to interact with individuals around the globe at any time, but also developments in air travel allow to reach ever more distant destinations. Many go as far as describing the world as shrinking or small; it seems that at least it feels smalle
