Mer än en tredjedel av all producerad mat slösas på vägen från produktion till konsumtion, där privata hushåll utgör den största delen av avfallskedjan. Konsekvenserna innebär slöseri av vatten-, gödningsmedel och odlingslandets effektivitet. En undersökning av det angivna problemet har genomförts och innehåller syftet att minska matsvinnet i hushåll. Genom att använda en användarcentrerad designpMore than one-third of all food produced is wasted in the food chain from production to consumption, where private households represent the largest food waste faction. In turn, water, fertilizer and cropland efficiency is wasted as well. Investigating the stated problem, this paper’s aim is to reduce food waste. Using a user-centered design iteration approach, observing, ideating, prototyping in d

Kol har lagrats is torvmarker i tusentals år och idag innehåller torvmarkerna ca en tredjedel av all markkol på jorden. Det råder stor osäkerhet hur torvmarker kommer att reagera på klimatförändringar. Detta beror på att de kalla, blöta och syrefattiga förhållandena leder till motsatta effekter för global uppvärmning; dels lagras koldioxid eftersom fotosyntesen är större än respirationen (kylande Northern peatlands have accumulated carbon for thousands of years and currently hold around one third of all soil carbon on earth. Large uncertainties are associated with predictions of how northern peatlands will react to climate change. This is because the cold, wet and anaerobic conditions lead to two opposing forces from a radiative forcing perspective – CO2 sequestration from photosynthesis b

This thesis is a case study on the family reunification procedure for refugees in Denmark, in the context of an increasingly restrictive environment. It sought to find out how structural facets of Danish immigration law interact with and influence the practices of navigating a family reunification process, for people with a refugee background. Two phases of semi-structured interviews were conducte

Innovation implementation is the process in between the decision to adopt an innovation until its full routinization in the organization. Based on literature gaps found on the correlation between leadership and innovation implementation, but also between leadership and radical innovation (Denti & Hemlin, 2012), the authors aim to understand “How does leadership play a role in radical innovatio

For the next 40 years, a rate of 3% of the European building stock per year needs to be renovated in order to meet the carbon and economic goals set out in the European Economic Recovery Plan. This puts high demands on the accuracy level of energy simulations software for predicting the energy need for retrofitted buildings. However, in most cases the simulated energy need does not correspond with

Sustainable development and sustainable urbanism has been receiving an increasingly influential role in urban development throughout the last decades, and many cities label themselves as ‘green’, ‘smart’, and ‘sustainable’. At the same time municipalities have been experiencing increasing economic pressure due to decentralization processes, which has resulted in them carrying a central role in dev

Uppsatsen syftar till att synliggöra och problematisera hur omfattningen av domens negativa rättskraft förhåller sig till konsumentens rättigheter härrö-rande ur EU-rätten. Efter en jämförelse mellan HD:s rättspraxis och EU-domstolens avgöranden i konsumenträttsliga mål är min slutsats att den rätts-kraftslära HD utvecklat kan försämra konsumenträttens genomslag och såle-des strida mot den EU-rättThis essay aims to illustrate and problematize how the extent of res judicata rules relates to EU-regulated consumer rights. After a comparison between case law from the Swedish High Court (HD) and the European Court of Jus-tice (ECJ), I’ve concluded that the HD-created jurisprudence regarding res judicata might be incompatible with the EU principle of effectiveness. This is due to its potential i

Post-heroic perspectives on leadership, which approach leadership as process, practice and a relational phenomenon, have shifted the theoretical understanding from individual characteristics to significant so-called moments of leadership, where direction emerges, and actions are re-oriented and organized. However, despite considerable theoretical development, research struggles to explore these pr

The discussion of human activities exploiting natural resources and their environmental impact has gained more traction throughout the past decade. Especially the role corporations play in these developments has caused a shift within corporate strategic considerations. As a result, today, many companies assume increasing responsibility to improve their sustainability performance. Large, internatio

Hur används koldioxidbudgetar för att hushålla med kommunernas kvarstående utsläpp? Det finns endast en begränsad mängd koldioxid kvar att släppa ut om världen ska ha en trolig chans att hålla sig inom Parisavtalets målsättning om en global temperaturökning på 1,5 – 2 °C. Denna mängd finns beräknad av IPCC och benämns i deras rapporter som ”den kvarstående koldioxidbudgeten”. På senare år har detIn recent years it has become increasingly common for Swedish municipalities to calculate local carbon budgets (LCB) that reflects their fair share of the remaining common global carbon budget. The actions can be viewed as an attempt to make a fair contribution in compliance with the Paris Agreement. However, little is known about how Swedish municipalities uses their LCB:s in their daily work and

Bröstcancer är idag en av de vanligaste cancerformerna hos svenska kvinnor; mer än 1400 avlider varje år till följd av sjukdomen. Ett sätt att reducera dödligheten är genom screeningprogram, där intent ionen är att detektera brösttumörer i ett tidigt stadie med hjälp av en röntgenundersökning som kallas mammografi. Alla kvinnor i åldra rna 40- 74 erb juds därför mammografi i förebyggande syfte, trAim: Virtual clinical trials (VCT) in medical imaging can be used to predict the outcome of clinical trials, by simulating anatomy, imaging methods and image interpretation. VCTs could reduce the cost and duration of clinical trials and their dependence on available patients. This thesis is motivated by the limitations in the field of breast cancer screening. The aim of the project is to expand a

This thesis aims to examine the relationship between climate justice and climate migration. The goal is to describe this relationship’s place in international policy making. Impacts from climate change will make certain areas of the world uninhabitable, inducing so-called “climate migration”. The number of migrants is predicted to be between 200 million and 250 million by 2050. Currently, there is

Axelfrakturer hos äldre - En biomekanisk analys Av alla frakturer är ungefär 6% axelnära frakturer, eller proximala humerusfrakturer som de också kallas. Det är den tredje vanligaste frakturen hos äldre och 80% av de som drabbas är kvinnor. År 2030 förväntas den här typen av frakturer vara tre gånger fler jämfört med idag på grund av den ständigt åldrande populationen. Riskfaktorer för proximala h6 % of all fractures are located at the proximal humerus. Proximal humerus fractures are the third most common fracture amongst elderly and 80 % of the patients are women. Today there are no existing standardized treatment protocol for elderly with this kind of injury. Therefore, the main objective of this dissertation was to examine if and also how the conservative treatment of proximal humerus f

I Sudan, Kordofan, livnärs sig många från boskapsdjur och nomader har som uppgift att flytta runt dessa till diverse betesresurser. Eftersom betesresurserna varierar från år till år har det skapats ett projekt som kallas för GRIS där man ska ta reda på tillgång och efterfråga på just betesresurser. Data tillgänglig från detta projekt ska finnas tillgänglig på en kartapplikation och det är där dettIn Sahel livestock stands for an important resource. Since livestock is dependent on vegetation as food supply it is important to monitor biomass within the area to be able to assess and adapt to different situations regarding the livestock. Optimally such approximations should be available as early as possible in order for the owners to be able to make decisions while it still makes a difference.
