Fatty acids-based herbicides are considered to be a green alternative to synthesized weed control products. However, the environmentally sustainable effect of those herbicides needs more investigation to be confirmed. The aim of this work was to develop a chemical analysis method that enables identification of short-chain fatty acids (SCFA´s) and medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA´s) in a commercial f

The GASMAS technique has previously proven useful for examining and measuring the oxygen concentration in the lungs of preterm infants. GASMAS can distinguish absorption by one gas from the bulk absorption of the surrounding media, and can provide an instant, non-invasive and non-destructive way of examining lungs, and diagnosing dangerous conditions such as pneumothorax. Pneumothorax can be life-

Varje år publicerar Socialstyrelsen en kartläggning av den svenska förlossningsvården.

Den 1 juni 2022 trädde lagförslaget Modernare regler för användning av tvångsmedel i kraft. Med den nya lagstiftningen kan brottsbekämpande myndigheter nu förmå enskilda att medverka till biometrisk autentisering för att få tillgång till elektroniska uppgifter som är lagrade i avläsningsbara informationssystem. Om den enskilde vägrar att medverka till det kan polisen genomföra autentiseringen. DOn 1 June 2022, the bill 'Modernised rules for the use of coercive measures' entered into force. Under the new legislation, law enforcement authorities can now require individuals to participate in biometric authentication in order to gain access to scannable information systems. If the individual refuses to co-operate, the police can carry out the authentication. The new legislation rai

Problem gambling is a serious social problem that can have significant negative impacts on an individual's life in various ways.

Kina har under flera års tid varit en av världens snabbast växande ekonomier och utgör därmed en enorm potentiell marknad för svenska företag. Den ökande handeln och transaktionerna med Kina kräver förståelse för kinesisk kontraktsrätt, som ännu inte är särskilt välkänd eller studerad i resten av världen. Syftet med uppsatsen är att jämföra och analysera likheter och skillnader mellan svensk och China has for many years been one of the world's fastest growing economies and has enormous potential for Swedish companies. The increase in trading and transactions with China requires an understanding of Chinese Contract Law, which is neither widely studied nor well known to the world. The purpose of this study is to compare and analyse the similarities and differences between Swedish, Chin

In this thesis the automation of an optical sight validation process was studied. The goal was to find a solution for controlling the position of a red dot in a red dot sight. A red dot sight is a non-magnifying reflector sight in which the user sees a red dot instead of a reticle. The movement of the dot was performed by fastening and unfastening adjustment screws on the sight. A side goal was to

One protocol is successfully implemented in the Python programming language, and the BNC, latency and computational complexity of the protocol is examined with positive results. The BNC is independent on the number of parties in the
