Ett högaktuellt problem i Sverige är bristen på bostäder. Framförallt saknas små bostäder för unga. Ett sätt att öka antalet små bostäder är att bygga om outnyttjade vindar i befintligt bo- stadsbestånd till små lägenheter. För att underlätta denna typ av ombyggnader röstade Sveri- ges riksdag i juli 2014 igenom en lagändring. Lagändringen innebär framför allt att hiss inte behöver installeras för
Kan allergiker lita på att chokladen är rätt märkt i butikerna i Ängelholm? För allergiker kan det bokstavligt talat vara livsavgörande att märkningen och informationen på produkter som choklad och kakor är korrekt i våra livsmedelsbutiker. Saknas tydlig information om allergener eller om informationen inte går att förstå p.g.a. att märkningen inte är på svenska kan en allergisk konsument i värstIn December 2014 the requirement increased on pre-packed food labelling when the regulation (EU) No 1169/2011 entered into force. Two important changes were that allergen information must be emphasised in the ingredients list and a minimum font size must be used for the obligatory information on food labels. It´s crucial that grocery stores follow the food legislation, so that consumers and especi
This thesis work has been focused on evaluation and further development of a hyperspectral LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) system made by Ljungholm et. al. [1] for monitoring of aquatic fauna, and in particular zooplankton. The project, which was a ”proof-of-concept”, showed the possibility to create a relatively compact and low-cost LIDAR with both spectral, temporal and range resolution. Exp
Turbochargers should both have high efficiency and rapid engine response. By removing material from the rotating parts in the turbocharger, decreases the inertia. Most suited is the turbine in the turbocharger, which has high density because of nickel-based alloys. The material is removed between the radial blades in a shape that looks like a scallop and therefore called scalloping. Volvo Powertra
This thesis investigates the social structures and discourse behind a culture of free love in a rural community in Portugal called Tamera. It describes how emotions and communication regarding personal romantic and sexual relationship are dealt with, as well as the incentives behind creating such a culture. Throughout the analysis I describe the political theory and vision behind the project Tamer
Companies are daily facing challenges to become more efficient and to gain market shares. To solve these challenges discrete event simulation (DES) can be used as a strategic and tactical decision-making tool. Using simulation will result in; more cost effective analyses, less resources spent on implementation and an increased understanding of why things happen in the system. However, even if simu
Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa hur företag inom dagligvaruhandeln arbetar med att hantera matsvinn. För att uppnå syftet med uppsatsen kommer vi att analysera två av de största dagligvarukedjorna i Sverige. Vårt bidrag inom retail management blir att öka kunskapen och förståelsen om rutiner och ledarskap som påverkar matsvinnshantering. För att uppnå syftet med uppsatsen har vi ställt följande
I Lund accelereras elektroner av superkorta och energirika laserpulser i ett plasma. Elektronerna accelereras från stillastående till väldigt nära ljusets hastighet på bara några få millimeter. Förhoppningen är att kunna ersätta dagens större och dyrare sätt att accelerera elektroner. Nyligen invigdes i Lund den stora synkrotronljusanläggningen MAX IV. Vid MAX IV accelereras elektroner i en långLaser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) utilises a high intensity laser pulse to excite a plasma density wave with associated large directed electric fields. These large electric fields can be used to accelerate electrons, making LWFA a good candidate for a compact electron beam source. In this dissertation, the impact of small fluctuations in laser pulse energy on the generated electron bunch charg
Despite the fact that maternal postpartum depression has been extensively studied and addressed to be a significant mental health issue, the literature on paternal postpartum depression is limited, even more so for Asian countries. The present study aims to identify the psychosocial factors, as well as socio-demographic factors, that are associated with paternal postpartum depressive symptoms in S
Insertion devices have several undesirable effects on the beam dynamics of a synchrotron storage ring, and these must be compensated for in order to ensure long term stable operation. This master’s thesis concerns the two first insertion devices at the MAX IV facility, two in-vacuum undulators for the BioMAX and NanoMAX beamlines. The report presents the work done to neutralize closed-orbit distor
The relationship between economic growth and the environment, based on the theory of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC), has been a topic of controversies, and a considerable number of studies have been devoted to investigate such relationship. In the current research the validity of EKC theory is tested on the Nordic countries, namely, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland, over the period 1961
Ur ett ramfaktorteoretiskt perspektiv identifierar vi i denna studie de aspekter som potentiellt påverkar svensklärares arbete med litteratur. Genom intervjuer med yrkesverksamma svensklärare har vi kartlagt deras uppfattningar och föreställningar om dessa påverkansfaktorer. Fokus ligger i studien på lärarnas retorik, alltså hur de påstår sig arbeta, snarare än på hur deras arbete ser ut i praktik
Uppsatsen tar sitt avstamp i en debatt förd i olika svenska dags- och kvällstidningar mellan en rad olika profilerade vänsterdebattörer. En debatt vari två motstående positioner utarbetas och döps till ”den klassiskt marxistiska” respektive ”den identitetspolitiska”. Syftet med uppsatsen är att bidra med ett teoretiskt utrymme i frågan om det historiska subjektet vari dessa positioner kan mötas fö
The membrane integrated divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) functions as a transporter of mainly iron across cellular membranes within the human body. Studies indicate that dysregulated transport by DMT1 causes accumulation of iron within the midbrain leading to neuronal cell death – a common symptom among patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease (PD). Detailed structural information of DMT1 is
If people understand how social media works, as an important new element of mass media, they can use social media advertising and social network strategies as a tool for helping environmental awareness in societies and communities. Social media can work as a tool to help consumers and companies detect when companies use greenwashing in their campaigns and in the information delivered about their p
In the city of Helsingborg, Sweden, sustainable urban development is currently permeating the municipality’s work on all levels. The current understanding of sustainability in Helsingborg aims at simultaneously counteracting the ecological crisis contributing to economic growth and social justice. In line with Erik Swyngedouw’s theories, this thesis shows that the current conceptualisation of sust
Efter en lång period där många bränder härjade i Sveriges storstäder förbjöds höga trähus. Denna lag upphörde att gälla i mitten på 90-talet och sedan dess har intresset för höga trähus ökat. Detta har resulterat i att behovet av bra ljudisoleringslösningar har blivit större. På grund av det växande intresset för miljöfrågor har det blivit viktigare för företag att hitta nya lösningar för att taIn the last years, the interest in high-rise timber framed building has gone up resulting in an increased demand for good solutions regarding sound insulation. Due to the worldwide growing interest in environmental issues, it has become of greater importance for companies to find ways to take care of their residue, instead of throwing it away. This can benefit both the environment, as less new mat
China's medical insurance has experienced series of reforms since 1978. During the market transition, the system confronted various challenges and improvements. A three-pillar basic medical insurance was formed for both rural and urban residents. At the same time, commercial medical insurance was developing and tended to play an increasingly critical role in medical welfare. Previous study fou
A series of tests were performed to explore the limits of two capacitive level sensors using the principle of parallel finger layout (sometimes called comb fingers) for sensing. The goal was to present a decision basis for Baxter to use when choosing a sensor to implement in their next generation hemodialysis machine. The devices under tests were 1) sensor type A: developed in-house and 2) sensor
The aim of the study was to investigate how actors from the Swedish Migration Board, the municipality of Malmö and non-governmental organization experienced the arrival of refugees in Malmö in the autumn of 2015. We collected our materials with a qualitative approach and through semi-structured interviews. Our questions will help us to investigate how the actors felt that the refugee crisis affect
