Polymerer är långa molekyler bestående av identiska repeterande enheter som antingen produceras på konstgjord väg eller naturligt av exempelvis bakterier. Plast, socker och cellulosa är exempel på polymerer som man kommer i kontakt med i sin vardag. Fortsättningsvis, kan polymerer bära positiva eller negativa laddningar och kallas då istället för polyelektrolyter. Om sådana molekyler av motsatt lComplex coacervation is a type of liquid-liquid phase separation, that occurs when oppositely charged macroions are mixed in aqueous solution under certain conditions. It has been proven to have applications within many different industries including the food and pharmaceutical industries. For example, protein/polysaccharide coacervates have been used for their emulsifying and foaming properties.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a global disease affecting more than 3.5 million people in the world, resulting in a high burden to societies. More research on IBD is definitely in need to prevent the disease and treat IBD patients. The intestinal epithelial barriers of IBD patients are weakened due to the inflammation, thereby, enteric microbes in the gut may translocate to the circulating sy

I början av september 2015 började ett stort antal människor på flykt ankomma till Malmö central. Inga myndigheter hade förutspått denna oväntade händelse och samhället var därför helt oförberett på att ta emot så många människor på flykt. De som var först på plats för att ta emot flyktingarna var därför det civila samhället. Under hösten formerades nätverk av civila som hjälpte till att ta emot fDuring the years, societies have faced different complex and hazardous events which has put their resilience to test. The refugee crisis is one event that usually do not fall within the framework of what a country or a political sector is prepared for. In the autumn 2015, when large numbers of refugees arrived at Malmö central station, no authorities were prepared and present to receive the people

Disaster management is a field, where any kind of information is essential for planning and rescue operations. The availability of real-time data on a portable device, such as a smartphone, can be very useful for emergency workers, during rescue operations and citizens as well. Augmented mobile reality is a system where the users can see overlayed data and visuals in the real environment through t

Background: The fashion industry is one of the world’s largest and most creative sectors in the retail industry, but also one of the most polluting industries globally. More and more clothes are produced than it is needed, and this has been a usual process in the fashion industry to meet consumers’ needs. Consumers can also be responsible for the environmental degradation, even though most of the

The main purpose of this thesis is to present and analyze spatial characteristics of 31 different European atmospheric measurement stations in the ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System) station network. The characterization includes quantification of where air arriving at the stations can be expected to have come from, as well as a breakdown of what these areas cover with regards to land cove

The Flommen Lagoon system is located in Skanör-Falsterbo, Sweden. It hosts a diverse and sensitive ecosystem. There have been concerns about the water quality in this lagoon due to impaired water exchange. The objectives of this thesis is to determine the current state of the water exchange in the lagoon and investigate possible measures to improve it. These possible measures revolve around the

The autobiographies written in French by the migrant writers Akira Mizubayashi, of Japanese origin, and Andrei Makine, of Siberian origin, will be examined in this essay with particular focus on the authors’ reflections on the acquisition of a foreign language and the dual linguistic affiliation in relation to identity shaping.

This thesis is about how to create architectural spaces in a not-too-distant future where new regulations demand better heat insulation in buildings and the implications that will bring to the building industry. Rather than worrying about how to deal with thicker walls and smaller windows, this thesis is trying to find new ways of designing buildings that enable us to continue having the possibili

The aim of this study is to get a deeper understanding of ESL learners’ anxiety when speaking in a learning context and how teachers can help their students overcome FLSA. This study seeks to investigate the causes of FLA that the participants may experience when learning English. The study also investigates what teachers can do to reduce learners’ anxiety of speaking a L2. To do this, interviews

CellaVision develops automated microscopy for blood analysis. Their products can pre-classify 19 different types of white blood cells and support the medical technologist performing the final classification. CellaVision provides reference cells. The reference cells are a fixed set of cells handpicked by a technologist, chosen to be typical for that specific class. The reference cells are static, i

Den här studiens syfte var att undersöka eventuella effekter av interaktioner mellan visuella preferenser (object imagery och spatial imagery) och korrekt eller inkorrekt minnesåterkallning till följd av missledande information. Ett webbaserat experiment i enlighet med misinformation paradigm användes där deltagarna fick se en filmsekvens som skildrade ett brott, läsa antingen en korrekt sammanfatThis study investigated possible effects on interaction between imagery and misinformation on memory accuracy and recall of misinformation. The subjects participated in an online experiment which followed the misinformation paradigm where they watched a film which showed a crime scene, read a summary which either included a correct summary of the film, incorrect summary which had misleading decrip

Det fins en önskan om fullständigt automatiserade nedströmsprocesser i framställandet av proteiner för läkemedelsbruk. En del av nedströmsprocessen är preparativ kromatografi. En god separation mellan produkt och andra proteiner, samt god produktivitet, är av intresse. På grund att kromatografisk separation ofta körs satsvis så skulle en iterative learning controller (ILC) vara ett bra val för attThere is a desire for a fully automated downstream process in pharmaceutical protein production. One part of the downstreaming process is preparative chromatography. A good separation between the product and other proteins, as well as good productivity, are desired. Due to the batch nature of chromatographic separation, an iterative learning controller (ILC) could be a suitable choice for achievin

Sammanfattning Jordens befolkning förväntas öka de kommande årtiondena. Detta kan skapa osäkerhet kring livsmedelsförsörjning och kräver en mer produktiv livsmedelssektor samt metoder för att bedöma tillgång på livsmedel i förhållande till efterfrågan. Utvecklandet av lågkostnadsmetoder för övervakning av grödor kan stödja en hållbar intensifiering av jordbruket och tillhandahålla användbar inforAbstract The population of earth is projected to increase the coming decades. This can pose problems of food security and demands a more productive food sector as well as methods of assessing food productivity in relation to demand. Crop monitoring with remote sensing can guide precision farming used for sustainable intensification of agriculture, as well as contribute to yield forecasting models

Värmebehov är beroende av rådande temperatur och väder samt kunders förbrukningsmönster. Detta ger upphov till varierande fjärrvärmelast och en konsekvent mer komplicerad värmeproduktion. Denna studie har undersökt potentialen för laststyrning, då byggnader utnyttjas som värmelager under kortare tid. Arbetet har fokuserat på modellering och utveckling av styrregler för laststyrningsmodellen samt iHeat load is dependent on outside temperature and weather as well as consumer habits. This leads to a variation in heat load and consequently a more complicated production. This study investigated the potential of demand side management, using load shifting and utilizing buildings for thermal storage. The work focused on modelling and developing operating conditions as well as implementation in di

This paper aims to examine how nine adopted women, through an article series published in a feminist journal in South Korea, articulate alternative narratives to and thereby resistance towards the normative structures and narratives that exist surrounding adoption, by presenting stories and analyses from lived experience. These alternative stories are analysed through the term reculturation. Four

Min studie har fokuserat på relationerna mellan territorier som produceras på Möllevångstorget och dess temporala aspekter. Jag undersökte därmed hur en territoriellt komplex plats fungerar och hur territorier produceras men argumenterar också för att komplexiteten är en viktig beståndsdel i offentlighet. Studien är gjord utifrån min personliga relation till platsen.
