This master’s thesis explores the sustainability and the circularity of industrial packaging of components for complex electronic products. The research aims to gain insight into the structure of the packaging system between the suppliers and the manufacturers (EMS) and evaluate its circularity to identify the opportunities and challenges for future improvement. The study examines the packaging fo
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa bland unga är ett folkhälsoproblem med konsekvenser som kan följa individen under hela livsloppet. Vanliga följder av psykisk ohälsa bland unga är aktivitets- och delaktighetsinskränkning. Inom skolan finns förebyggande insatser, vilka främst består av psykoedukation, för att främja psykisk hälsa. Forskning är dock oklar kring om dessa insatser även har ett arbetsteraBackground: Mental illness among young people is a public health problem with consequences that can follow the individual throughout their life. Common consequences of mental illness among young people are activity- and participation restrictions. Within schools there are preventive efforts, which mainly consist of psychoeducation, to promote mental health. However, research is unclear whether
In the last twenty-five years, the influence of climate change over the lives of the world’s citizens has become a central topic of discussion within multilateral organisations such as the United Nations. The topic of policy and decision- making capacity, as well as representation of developing nations such as Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is also constant. This research is conducted as a

The Nuremberg Charter introduced the crime of aggression into international law. The American Chief Prosecutor Justice Robert Jackson gave a famous promise that offenders who commit acts of aggression shall be prosecuted and international criminal law would be applied against them. However, only at the first Review Conference of the ICC Statute in Kampala 2010, agreement on a universally accepted
The aim of the project was to investigate and evaluate different extraction methods for detection of human DNA in environmental crime scene samples containing soil. Soil is a complex and heterogeneous material consisting of several inhibitory compounds, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from such samples. The investigation included the evaluation of 19 different extraction methods based on s
Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda hur chefers behov av nätverk och utbildning kan tillgodoses genom deltagande i ett hybridnätverk. Metod: För att besvara syftet och uppsatsens frågeställningar har en kvalitativ fallstudie genomförts. Insamlingen av empiri har gjorts genom kvalitativa intervjuer med den ansvariga, föreläsare samt deltagare i det kombinerade nätverk och utbildning som förl
In a progressively globalized world the catapults of economic globalization, is in large, due to increased flows of foreign direct investments (FDI) across the world. FDI flows are considered essential vehicles for economic growth and development. The complex entities that embody a multinational company (MNC ) are often simplified to encompass either an exploitation approach of LDCs by MNCs or the
This report summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of organic and conventional farming from an environmental and sustainable perspective. A sustainable agriculture system needs to be able to meet a higher demand for food due to a growing population and minimize the damage of the environment at the same time. The main critic to the organic farming system is that it produces lower yields than
The market uptake of solid-state lighting (SSL) is slow, even though it has many advantages and could deliver a variety of benefits to the society. The public sector is a large actor in the lighting market and could play an important role in accelerating SSL market penetration. Nevertheless, it faces many challenges to adopt SSL. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to provide a better
Detta arbete syftar till att utreda hur genuiniteten i en religiös konversion som sker sur place och åberopas sent i asylprocessen bedöms. Utredningen behandlar den internationella traktaträtten, EU-rätten, samt gällande rätt och dess tillämpning i Sverige. Frågeställningen är således, vad måste en konvertit göra för att dennes konversion ska betraktas som trovärdig? Utmärkande för trovärdighetsb
I denna studie har vi intervjuat tre kvinnor som levt under riskfyllda förhållanden i form av missbruk i större delar av sitt liv. Syftet med vår uppsats var att undersöka vilka erfarenheter anhöriga till missbrukare har av självhjälpsgrupper av typen ACA (vuxna barn till alkoholister och från andra dysfunktionella familjer) och dess stöd och hjälp. Vi formulerade tre frågeställningar där vi villeIn this study, we interviewed three women who have lived in hazardous conditions such as abuse in the greater part of their lives. The aim of this study was to examine what experiences relatives of abusers have of self-help groups such as ACOA (Adult Children Of Alcoholics and of other dysfunctional families) and its support and help. Due to our purpose we asked ourselves three questions: 1. how d
The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to find out which measures for reading promotion are used by school libraries and how these can have an effect in terms of increased reading. This is of interest since surveys have shown that Swedish pupils read less and that their reading abilities have decreased. In order to become good at reading one needs to read a lot and this is why promoting reading is
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to study the kinetics of gas-phase reactions of three lactones, γ-valerolactone (GVL), 2(5H)-furanone (2(5HF) and 3-methyl-2(5H)-furanone (3M2(5H)F) with Cl atoms, OH radicals and O3 respectively. The experiments were performed in a photochemical reactor at a total pressure of 700 Torr at room temperature (298±2 K). Both relative rate an
The aim of this thesis has been to investigate the legal conditions and process for triggering Credit Default Swaps, which are derivative instruments to shift credit risk exposure between parties in an underlying financial instrument. The condition is called credit event and a case study has been done on the Greek credit event in 2012. The thesis shows that there is a clear and robust framework o
In modern day society the increase of data generation and transfer has been an issue that researchers are working on. This generated and shared data might have a different purpose but one thing is certain, the reception. This communication can cover continents, countries, cities or even just a few meters. For the purpose of the later, personal area networks (PAN) have been created with a main focu
Eutrophication is one of the biggest environmental problems in Scanian waters, where agriculture has the largest input. Through soil cultivation and usage of fertilizers, nutrients are added and released. If no uptake occurs nutrients can be further transported to watercourses through surface runoff or the drainage system. This study investigates three measures to reduce and reuse nutrients from d
Previous studies indicated that skylights can improve the daylight conditions in house or office buildings, decrease the electricity demand for lighting, provide natural ventilation and reduce the heating demand through passive solar heat gain exploitation. This thesis analyses the effect of skylights on the energy use, daylight conditions and thermal comfort in a classroom. The study is performed
