Introduction: Knowing diffusion coefficients in supercritical carbon dioxide is important from an efficient process in chromatography and extraction. Background: Several papers have estimated diffusion coefficients in pure supercritical carbon dioxide, but rather few have investigated the effect of adding a cosolvent. Aim(s): Building and validating a system for estimating diffusion coefficients
Världen som vi känner den hålls samman av fyra grundläggande krafter. Gravitationskraften drar oss mot jorden och håller samman planeter, stjärnor och galaxer. Den elektromagnetiska kraften styr i princip allt annat vi upplever i vår vardag. Den starka kärnkraften håller samman protoner och neutroner i atomkärnor och binder de kvarkar som i sin tur bygger upp dessa partiklar, och den svaga kärnkraWe present a generalisation of the flavour-ordering method applied to the chiral nonlinear sigma model with any number of flavours. We use an extended Lagrangian with terms containing any number of derivatives, organised in a power-counting hierarchy. The method allows diagrammatic computations at tree-level with any number of legs at any order in the power-counting. Using an automated implementat
Under the Family Planning Policy, the contraceptive use in China is not only the outcome of personal choice but highly influenced by the policy regulations. Using provincial level data, this study aims in finding to what extend does Family Planning Policy have its impact on the contraceptive use of married Chinese women aged 15-49 years from year 1992 to 2017. Controls for social economic status (
The animosities between India and Pakistan have been continuous since partition of British India over seven decades ago. Disputes over Kashmir and the rivers flowing through the region can be said to represent a nucleus of the tensions between the two countries. Due to environmental stress and population growth, hydropolitics is persistently being set under pressure. Three security frames, nationa
This thesis seeks to explain constraining effects of distance to markets on agricultural smallholder’s ability to commercialise, using Zambia as a case. Despite a growing consensus that inaccessible markets constrain the development of broad-based agricultural growth, creating socio-economic regional disparities, the exact nature by which distance and market access interact with agricultural produ
In 2011, the Dutch dredging company Van Oord was hired to expand the Suape port’s capacity by dredging the entrance to a new shipyard, and to deepen the access channel to the port in order to allow bigger tankers to reach a newly built local oil refinery. The company took out insurance for these projects by the Dutch ECA Atradius DSB (Dutch State Business). These projects ended up having major imp
The dairy industry has a noteworthy environmental footprint, specifically on global warming and resource depletion. Yet, environmental challenges also adversely impact the sustenance of many dairy value chain stakeholders. This is problematic not only in terms of livelihood for more than 70 million rural households but also considering the growing population and hence the increasing dairy demand.
Academia is vertically gender segregated, where women are underrepresented in senior positions in all fields (Allbright, 2019; Curtis, 2011; European Commission, 2016; Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ), 2017). This study investigated research self-efficacy and social belongingness expectations as social cognitive mediators of research career interest in a sample of 239 Swedish social scienc
This study sets out to investigate the non-diegetic music in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014) in order to highlight its implicit narrative functions and meanings. The theoretical approach consists of semiotic concepts such as ‘Cognitive denotative’ and ‘Cognitive connotative’ functions by Emilio Audissino, ‘Myth’ and ‘Anchorage’ by Barthes as well as Claudia Gorbman’s ‘Connotative Cueing’.
Proteiner är de små byggstenar som bygger upp nästan allt omkring oss. Proteiner bygger upp våra kroppar och utför olika funktioner som är livsviktiga för alla djur, växter och andra organismer. Byggstenarna kan ha olika former och utseende och de har olika funktioner. Det finns proteiner som hjälper till att bryta ner maten vi äter, proteiner som bygger upp våra muskler och massor av andra proteiLumazine Synthase forms pentamers, C5 in some organism and icodahedra, Ih in other. The aim of this project is to investigate which evolutionary steps could have led the pentamers to assembly into icosahedral capsids. Therefore prevoius work has been performed to reconstruct ancestral sequences for the pentameric and icosahedral forms of Lumazine Synthase. The icosahedral sequence had been express
Sammanställningen av resultatet visade att Bäljane å har en relativt god status med undantag för mängden organiskt material samt att ån är starkt färgad och starkt grumlat. Lakvattnet visade däremot innehålla signifikant högre halter, i förhållande till Bäljane ås resultat, för alla undersökta parametrar. Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka om Bäljane å är en möjlig recipient för ett renat lakvatThe aim of this bachelor thesis was to investigate whether or not Bäljane stream is a possible recipient for treated leachate from a Swedish municipal solid waste plant. This report will see how the current environmental status is in the river and how it will be affected in the future if emissions of treated leachate occur. Earlier studies regarding the environmental status in the river was evalua
I boverkets rapport Beräkning av behovet av nya bostäder till 2025 framgår det att 600 000 nya bostäder behöver byggas fram till år 2025. Regeringen anser att ett ökat industriellt träbyggande kan bidra till att möta behovet av nya och överkomliga bostäder av god kvalitet. Trä kan ge goda förutsättningar för industriell byggproduktion och hög prefabriceringsgrad som i sin tur kan pressa byggkostnaThe aim of this thesis, Analysis of mold risk when CLT is used as a framing material, is to analyze the risk of mold growth in different CLT-panels subjected to outdoor climate. The analysis is performed in the hygrothermal calculation tool, WUFI and by using a mold model called MRD-model. The focus in this study is to examine how well the CLT-panels works in different parts of Sweden with normall
The tasks of a social worker often require the abilities of both the understanding of one’s own as well as the client’s emotions. Meanwhile many studies show that men are emotionally restricted and have difficulties handling emotions. The purpose of the study was to explore the emotional history of men who are studying to become social workers and how it might affect their future profession. In do

In November 2018, the Danish government passed a bill that introduced the category ‘severe ghetto’ to the law on non-profit housing. Moreover, the bill prescribes extraordinary policy measures in the targeted areas in order to encourage urban regeneration. The non-profit housing associations in ‘severe ghettos’ are forced to reduce the share of non-profit housing stock to 40% through relabelling,
For millennia, humans have utilized species of sandalwood and agarwood-producing trees as raw materials in ritual offerings, incense, perfumes, and oils. Agarwood remains in high demand, selling for as much as $30,000 to $100,000 USD per kilo. Sandalwood also brings high prices and has high demand on the market. This has led to the listing of several species of these trees with CITES and the IUCN
Humanitarian immigration has with the recent European immigration crisis in 2015-2016 become a hotly debated subject, not least in Finland and Sweden. While there are many discussions being had surrounding this topic, few economic or demographic studies or analyses have been done. This study aims to combine the data, literature and studies done so far on humanitarian immigration in both countries
I Sverige utgör en tredjedel av dagens sjukskrivningsantal av människor som lider av psykisk ohälsa. Internetbaserade behandlingar har möjliggjort för effektiv behandling på avstånd, samtidigt som de når ut till fler människor (Andersson, 2014; Vernmark, 2017). iKBT är en sådan behandling där behandlingstagarna behandlar sig själva genom att lära sig om sitt psykiska tillstånd via en e-tjänst.
