The Baltic Sea Region is rapidly becoming one of the world’s more competitive regions. The region is capitalising on its strengths and making the most of its diversity to stimulate innovation, build a strong pool of skilled labour and foster entrepreneurship. A deep spirit of co-operation and integration has led the Baltic Sea countries to set up ambitious governance frameworks to pursue economic

Popular Abstract in Swedish Människors behov av och rättighet till meningsfull sysselsättning är en angelägenhet som engagerar flera samhälleliga instanser och yrkesgrupper. Arbetsterapeuter har utvecklat speciella kunskaper om hur sysselsättning och meningsfull aktivitet kan användas i terapeutiskt syfte för handikappade, skadade och sjuka personer som förlorat sin förmåga till ett självständigt The general aim of this thesis was to explore aspects of meaning connected with the performance of everyday occupations. Further, the aim was to investigate relationships between occupation, meaning, and health-related variables among adult and elderly subjects with and without chronic pain. Another aim was to develop appropriate methodology and theory for this research area. Due to the explorativ

Resistivity imaging in combination with drill hole information is a powerful tool in geotechnical site investigations. Traditionally the resistivity data is inverted with a 2D smooth inversion algorithm, resulting in a minimum structure model. In the geological interpretation it can be difficult to determine sharp layer boundaries in these models. An additional parameterized inversion of resistivi

Rapporten redovisar en utvärdering av SI-verksamheten (SI = Samverkansinlärning) vid nio civilingenjörsprogram vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola under läsåret 2009/10 tillämpat på kurser i endimensionell analys, linjär algebra, mekanik samt inledande kemi. Både kursresultat samt poängproduktion under det första året är signifikant bättre för SI-deltagare än de som ej följt SI. Resultaten avseende andel

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cellulosa etrar är en grupp ämnen som har många tillämpningar inom olika områden. Det stora antalet tillämpningar ställer höga krav på de teknologiska egenskaperna hos cellulosa etrarna. För att kunna kontrollera de teknologiska egenskaperna är det nödvändigt att utveckla analytiska metoder, med vilka egenskaperna kan korreleras till den kemiska strukturen. Ibland går dCellulose based derivatives, such as cellulose ethers, today find many applications in a diverse range of fields. The numerous applications put high demands on the technological performance of the cellulose ethers. In order to be able to control the technological properties it is necessary to develop analytical methods by, which they can be correlated to the chemical structure. In some cases va

This thesis describes the affinity and enantiomeric selectivity of the cellobiohydrolase Cel7A (isolated from Hypocrea jercorina). The chiral recognition of the enzyme has been studied with respect to amino alcohols and new ligands have been designed, based on the structure of the common ?-blocker propranolol. Capillary electrophoresis have been used to determine the dissociation constants of the

With today’s rapid changes in socio-economy and technology, knowledge and learning are critical issues for most companies and private and civil service organisations. The needs for competence development range from short informal courses to formal educational programs at university level. Informal learning is less predictable. It is nevertheless a very natural way of learning, although it is often

This paper investigates the dimensioning of a server used for external overload control in service architecture. Great savings can be obtained by an operator if the dimensioning analysis is performed correctly. As one of the main parts of this paper it is shown that Poissonian arrivals is a good assumption for some services in service architectures. Methods that can be used for dimensioning are pr
