Målet med den här rapporten var att undersöka möjligheten att vidare rena spillvattnet på Dows anläggning i Landskrona. Dow tillverkar vattenbaserade bindemedel från akryl monomerer. Spillvattnet innehåller metalliska joner, såpor, restmonomerer och restpolymerer. Idag så renas spillvattnet med ultrafiltrering (UF) där permeatet släpps iväg till det kommunala reningsverket för vidare rening. EfterThe aim of this report was to investigate the possibility of further cleaning of the wastewater at Dow in Landskrona. Dow produces water based adhesives from acrylic monomers. The wastewater contains different metal ions, surfactants, residual monomers and polymers. The wastewater at Dow is treated with ultrafiltration (UF) which produces a permeate that is sent to the municipal waste water treatm

Genom att observera och intervjua invånarna i Lund, kan man erhålla mycket information om historien och infrastrukturen för staden. Detta tyder på en särskilt självklar princip; om man studerar de mindre beståndsdelarna av ett system, så kan man erhålla egenskaper som är gällande för systemet i helhet. Detta är precis vad dagens astronomer utnyttjar för att lära sig mera om vårt universum. De minsThe first part of this thesis deals with the dynamical estimation of the Oort constants using proper motions and parallaxes provided from the Gaia-DR1 TGAS catalogue. The photometric information was provided by the 2MASS catalogue. The Oort constants calculated from the TGAS catalogue are compared to those obtained from the original Hipparcos catalogue in order to attempt to estimate how well Gaia

I detta arbete undersöks varför många trumslagare trots lång utbildning och hög musikalisk nivå har problem med sitthållning som leder till ryggsmärtor. Syftet är dels att förstå varför, dels att se om man kan förbättra situationen med hjälp av att öva trumset sittandes på Pilatesboll istället för trumpall. Arbetet grundar sig på en kvalitativ intervju med fokusgrupp samt aktionsforskning med sammThis study examines why many drummers despite higher education have problems with posture which lead to back pain. The purpose is to investigate and understand why, and to see if it is possible to improve the posture by practicing the drum set sitting on a pi- lates ball instead of on the ordinary drum stool. The paper is based on a qualitative study conducted with music students as informants. Th

Denna studie syftar till att genom en undersökning med tio informanter skapa en uppfattning om hur virtual reality kan appliceras i en lektion för elbas. Studien genomfördes med tio elbasister, som både är verksamma lärare eller musiker på både professionell- och amatörnivå. Studien är utformad ur ett kvalitativt forskningsperspektiv och är baserad på intervjuer om de tio elbasisternas upplevelserThis study aims at creating an idea of how virtual reality can be applied in a lesson for electric bass through a survey of ten informants. The study was conducted with ten informants, who are teachers and/or musicians at both professional and amateur levels, from a qualitative research perspective and based on interviews from ten electric bassists' experience of a virtual concert with a virtu

The world is facing multiple crises, including ecosystem degradation, global climate change and human conflicts. One of the consequence is an unprecedented displacement of 65 million people in total and historic records in the number of asylum seekers in the European Union. This poses the challenge of how to integrate the increased number of refugees in an effective way. As immigration is only one

Användandet av laserljus med syftet att destruera cancertumörer är en fördelaktig behandlingsmetod av tumörer som finns nära viktiga organ och som inte kan opereras med hjälp av traditionella kirurgiska ingrepp. Detta är möjligt på grund av den precision som ljuset kan levereras med. Detta projekt är fokuserat på immunostimulating interstitial laser thermotherapy (imILT) vilket är baserat på laseA simulation model of immunostimulating Interstitial Laser Thermotherapy (imILT) has been developed to investigate the effect that biological variations in tissues have on the treatment outcome. The biological variations include optical and thermal properties. The model based on the results of these investigations was further developed to investigate the possibility of predicting an imILT treatmen
