The incineration furnace at National Veterinary Institute (SVA) in Uppsala, Sweden, runs approximately 2,150 hours a year and generates a large amount of waste heat. Some of this heat is partially recovered, and is used for heating one of the main buildings during the furnace operation. However, around 2,000 MWh is wasted annually due to unavailability of any storage system. This wasted heat is ap
In recent years it has been a clear conflict in Sweden between scientists and the agency “Önep” which is responsible for the regulatory enforcement of research ethics. This conflict has shown how the academy and the state can have conflicting interests and that power struggle has made this master thesis relevant. Therefore, this thesis aim, and purpose has been to examine how Önep conduct their re
This thesis investigates the reasons behind the continuation of legitimisation for the ruling party in Singapore, despite its undemocratic practices. The main hypothesis is that the ruling party has effectively utilised competitive authoritarianism, which involves the use of manipulation and repression to maintain control over the public and convince or pressure them to vote for the party. Through
Peptides are abundant in all living organisms and essential to many cellular functions. For this purpose, peptides are interesting research targets. The chemical moieties and molecules that are involved in peptide interactions and systems, respectively, are intrinsically non-emissive or weakly emissive, which is why researchers have found strategies for labeling peptides. Today, peptides are typic
Bakgrund Subakromiellt impingement syndrom (SAIS) är en av de vanligaste orsakerna till axelsmärta. Det finns många olika behandlingsformer för SAIS, bland annat träning, tejpning, kortisoninjektioner och operation. I majoriteten av de systematiska litteraturstudier som finns idag inkluderas framför allt studier där olika behandlingsmetoder jämförs mot varandra. I denna semi-systematiska litteratu
Bakgrund Handhållen dynamometer (HHD) är ett instrument som inom fysioterapi används för att mäta muskelstyrka. Mätinstrumentets reliabilitet och validitet har undersökts och fastställts under de senaste decennierna, men få studier har jämfört olika typer och modeller med varandra. Syfte och frågeställningar Syftet med denna studie är att jämföra en tryck-HHD (Echo Wireless Muscle Tester) med en d
Detta arbete berör ämnet återbruk och återanpassning av en befintlig byggnad i en nutida kontext. Byggnaden som jag valt att studera är Sundhammars barnkoloni, byggd år 1937, belägen invid kusten i södra Bohuslän. Trots att byggnaden bedöms vara en av de bäst bevarade barnkolonibyggnaderna så saknar den skydd, varpå den vid flertalet tillfällen hotats av rivning. Målet med detta examensarbete äThis work concerns the topic of reuse and readaptation of an existing building in a contemporary context. The building I have chosen to study is Sundhammars barnkoloni, built in 1937, located next to the coast in the southern part of Bohuslän. Although the building is considered to be one of the best preserved children’s colony buildings, it lacks protection, whereupon it has been threatened with
The striatum is the main input nucleus of the basal ganglia. Striatal subregions, which play different roles in motor functions, receive inputs from different cortical regions. Regulation of synaptic plasticity at the level of corticostriatal synapses is believed to underlie habit formation and motor learning. Alteration of plasticity at the level of corticostriatal synapses has been associated wi
This Bachelor’s thesis consists of an empirical study using a gravity regression model to determine if Ukrainian bilateral export flows were affected by the 2014 war through an increase in political and social risk functioning as trade resistance. There is an empirical research gap on this issue that this thesis attempts to mitigate. The study was conducted using PPML with fixed effects to solve t
Generation Z [Gen Z] har till skillnad från tidigare generationer ett behov att bli förstådda av företag för att ha en positiv inställning till deras kommunikation. Detta, kombinerat med en mer komplex tid att hantera en digital kundupplevelse, gör det svårt för företag att nå ut till målgruppen på sociala medier. Denna studie syftar därav till att gå på djupet för att förstå hur Gen Z uppfattar fGeneration Z [Gen Z], unlike previous generations, has a need to be understood by companies in order to have a positive attitude towards their communication. This, combined with a more complex time managing a digital customer experience, makes it difficult for companies to reach the target audience on social media. This study therefore aims to go in depth to understand how Gen Z perceives companie
This thesis examines the phenomena of third-party enforcement in public international law, in a historical as well as in a contemporary perspective. To that end, it traces the role of such enforcement measures from the past into the present. It also studies the potential discrepancies between current unilateral sanctions and the recent changes experienced by international law at large. Two legal m
Uppsatsen undersöker den internationella straffrättens förväntningar på ansvarighållandet av företagsledare på individnivå. Vidare utreds huruvida nationell rätt, här svensk rätt i jämförelse med tysk, uppfyller de krav och förväntningar som den internationella straffrätten ställer på nationell reglering. Dessutom syftar uppsatsen till att sätta svensk reglering av medverkansansvar för företagsledThe thesis investigates the expectations of international criminal law on the prosecution of corporate leaders on an international and domestic level for international crimes based on the sources, purposes, and principles guiding international criminal law. Also, this thesis examines whether domestic law, here Swedish, is compliant with the obligations and expectations presented by international c
Dagens samhälle omfattas av åtskilliga religiösa ideologier. För en utomstående kan en religiös tradition tyckas ofattbar. Ett exempel på en sådan tradition är hur en frisk person av religiösa skäl kan avstå från livräddande behandling. När det kommer till Jehovas vittnen avsäger de blodprodukter eftersom blodet i deras mening är en symbol för livet och därmed heligt. Enligt nuvarande lagstiftningToday's society is composed of numerous religious ideologies. To an outsider, a religious tradition may seem inconceivable. An example of such a tradition is how a healthy person can for religious reasons refrain from life-saving treatment. When it comes to Jehovah's Witnesses, they renounce blood products because blood in their sense is a symbol of life and thus sacred. Under current legi
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka och kritiskt granska hur personer med osynliga funktionsnedsättningar behandlas inom arbetsrätten. Särskilt fokus riktas på situationen där uppsägning på grund av personliga skäl är aktuell. Frågorna är av särskilt intresse med anledning av den reform av lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS) som ska genomföras i svensk rätt senare i år. För att kunna upThis thesis aims to describe and critical peruse how the Swedish law treats persons with invisible disabilities in the labour law, with a special focus on termination of employment due to personal reasons. The essay is of particular interest because of the reform of the Employment Protection Act (SFS 1982:80), which is to be implemented in Swedish law later this year. To be able to answer the aim
The principle of the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ or ‘R2P’, adopted by states at the World Summit in 2005, establishes that states have a responsibility to protect their citizens, and if a state fails to do so, the responsibility falls upon the international community. In Myanmar, the Rohingya crisis and the military coup of 2021 has displayed the widespread systematic violations of human rights. D
Syftet med denna studien var att undersöka hur kommunikation som sägs vara icke-stereotypisk framställer genus och utmanar eller reproducerar traditionella stereotyper i reklam. För att studera detta fenomen valdes det svenska företaget Estrid ut, som säger sig kommunicera till alla människor. Genom att studera detta fenomen har studien bidragit med kunskap kring hur visuell kommunikation kan bådeThis paper aimed to investigate how advertising stereotypes can be challenged or reproduced and how gender is performed, in the context of an allegedly non-stereotypical company. In order to investigate this matter, we conducted a multimodal social semiotic analysis of the Swedish company Estrid, whose razor blades are communicated to all humans. By analyzing various semiotic resources, the paper
Title: Developing a Supply Chain Management Framework for Decision-making: A Case Study at Lindab Authors: Michelle Jasinski and Louise Skaarup Johansen Problem formulation: Taking decisions to facilitate an efficient supply chain could be difficult and include many parameters. As an international company, Lindab has a well-developed and rather complex supply chain network. However, in Lindab’s
The Swedish government has decided to start building high-speed rails. The objective of this study is to analyze the policy process behind this decision. This is done using Bacchi’s What’s the Problem Represented to Be approach, which is designed to investigate the problem representations behind any policy, as well as their underpinnings. Eight different problem representations have been found,
The reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. This thesis presents literature studies on recycling, reuse and end-of-life methods for glass fibre-reinforced plas
Energy cooperatives are seen as a way to achieve energy democracy in both academic and activist circles, with often an implicit expectation that they also contribute to energy justice. These assumptions are increasingly being questioned, often on the grounds of the limited diversity of energy cooperative membership. I conducted semi-structured interviews with four German energy cooperatives in ord
