Under flera års tid har återkommande förhöjda halter mikroorganismer förekommit i havremjöl på en av Lantmännen Cerealias verksamheter i Järna. Detta har lett till ett begränsat användningsområde och ökade kostnader. Syftet med utredningen var att upparbeta en åtgärdsplan för att förbättra hygienstatusen och minska de kostnader som de förhöjda halterna inneburit. Historisk data har granskats, en
In the present study, the enzyme thymidine kinase 1 from tomato (ToTK1) was expressed in E.coli and purified to near homogeneity by means of affinity chromatography. However, purified ToTK1 of bacterial origin displayed no substantial catalytic activity. Expression was also attempted in insect cells using the baculovirus expression vector system (BEVS). Significant TK activities were detected in t
The relationship between business cycles and mortality has been a highly debated subject in the field of economics. The majority of previous studies, using the unemployment rate as the main proxy for macroeconomic conditions, have found ambiguous effects largely depending on how the effect is estimated. This thesis follows the methodology used by Ruhm (2000), but instead applies aggregate data for
This bachelor thesis shows how a mobile application can be designed to have the potential to induce its users to change their energy consumption and how the application can be designed to induce the users to return to the application. The project was carried out on behalf of- and in cooperation with Öresundskraft AB. The goal of the project was to create an application that would be used by the cu
In recent years, different methods for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size have been developed. This has been done in order to investigate if the size of the fat globules have any impact on the product functionality. The purpose of this master thesis was to develop a method for fractionation of native milk fat globules with respect to particle size and with focu
This thesis covers specification and development of a distributed measurement system intended for CAN bus. It was completed at Scania CV, Södertälje in collaboration with Lund University. The goal of the thesis is to specifiy and develop a distributed measurement system that helps Scania with acquisition of functional and electrical data. Several topics are adressed such as filtering, at what spee
The research interest of this Master’s thesis is public librarians’ work life. The purpose of the essay is to examine public librarians’ experiences of work enjoyment, their valuations of work enjoyment and work motivation factors, respectively. The research was done through a web-based survey that was mediated via the e-mailing list “Biblist” that reaches the majority of Sweden’s librarians. The

The village has only one remaining grocery store, Coop Konsum, and the store is currently in a financial struggle due to to the high rate of crime that has affected the store during the past six months. When the inhabitants of Kågeröd found out that the store, which functions as a social meeting point, was threatened t
Malmö har utvecklats från att vara en industristad förr till att idag profilera sig som kunskaps- och evenemangstad. I takt med att nya visioner och mål satts upp finner man ett genomgående tema staden arbetar starkt för – en hållbar utveckling. En hållbar utveckling skall skapa det attraktiva Malmö, dit fler människor vill söka sig. För att uppnå visionen om att bli en mer hållbar stad beskriver
Bakgrund: Enligt WHO är bröstmjölk den bästa födan för spädbarn. Amningsfrekvensen i Sverige är dock sjunkande. Idag sker utskrivningen från BB tidigare än förr och partnern spelar därför en mer framträdande roll för amningen. Syfte: Att belysa betydelsen av partnerns stöd och kunskap för amningen ur ett mödraperspektiv. Metod: En kvalitativ studie utfördes där tolv kvinnor i Skåne intervjuades. R
In gas turbine blade modeling a stable but yet flexible method of describing the blade shape is crucial. Polynomials and B ́ezier curves have previously been used and in this paper B-splines are employed instead. This method removes the need for many of the interior derivative conditions on the curve but special care must be taken when selecting the parameter values and appropriate derivative cond
In the light of the latest decade of structural change and growth in trade on the commodity markets it is natural to ask the question: Is it worth adding commodity futures to your portfolio? The objective of this paper is to find out if commodity futures does or does not add to the performance of portfolios consisting of equity funds. The theory used is basic portfolio theory, with Sharpe's ra
The wide and increasing range of screen sizes between Android devices makes consumers use them very differently. Large devices (like televisions) are more suitable to view content and smaller devices (like smart watches) are to be used more as a quick controller of the main application. Distributed user interfaces is the concept of utilizing several of these de- vices in one application, so that e
På Galgbackens vattenanläggning i Hässleholm tillämpas bassängsinfiltration genom återinfiltration av grundvatten i en isälvsavlagring. Syftet är att kunna leverera dricksvatten med god kvalitet till konsumenterna. Grundvattnet tas från brunnar i Ignaberga och Tyringe och återinfiltreras i isälvsavlagringen. Syftet med detta examenstarbete är att genom en spårämnesstudie undersöka uppehållstid ochGalgbacken water plant in Hässleholm is applying basin infiltration by re- infiltrating groundwater into a glaciofluvial deposit. The purpose is to supply drinking water with good quality to the consumers. Groundwater is pumped from wells in Ignaberga and Tyringe and re- infiltrated into the glaciofluvial deposit. The aim with this thesis is to examine retention and dispersion of the re- infiltrat
War-inflicted violence affects civilians in a larger proportion than combattants - where the majority of the victims are women and children. It is also men, who often are the planners of war, whom at the same time are expected to be the constructors of peace, where women and gender issues are neglected. In this essay we will challenge traditional assumptions about peace and security by adopting a
The primary focus on this thesis is to investigate different actors attitudes on sustainable forestry and opportunities and restrictions experienced with these. The actors already manage forest in some way, or are interested in managing forest sustainable. Sustainable development was defined during the WCED in 1987 and has since then been a concept for planning. The concept sustainable development
Föroreningar från metallurgiska processer som sprids genom skorstenar och ventilationssystem är ett välkänt problem inom metallurgisk industri. På senare tid har även spridning av föroreningar i form av damm uppmärksammats som ett problem. Föroreningarna uppstår troligen från diffusa källor, vilket innebär att de inte kan härledas till en specifik punktkälla. Detta arbete uppstod som en följd av aPollution in the metallurgical industry has been a well-known problem in terms of dispersal through stacks and ventilation systems. In recent times attention has been drawn to fugitive dust emissions as a pollution problem. This paper aims to illustrate important aspects to develop a method to control dust emissions. The method of this report consisted of a literature and an interview study. The r
