In the past people sought for information via libraries, travel magazines or were inspired by marketing the travel agency made in order to attract consumers. Before the Internet era one way communication was the right way to follow. Since Internet was developed two ways communication has evolved and people can talk to each other worldwide. The development of the two ways communication has created
Concrete hardens as a result of chemical reactions between water and cement. Cement is a hydraulic binder, in the reaction the cement binds water-molecules. This is an exoterm process, heat is produced during the reactions. How fast this process proceeds is much depending of the temperature. The amount of heat produced during the hardening of the concrete is also depending on the thickness of the
The aim of this study was to investigate how the new Non-Invasive Prenatal Diagnosis method (NIPD) is represented within a public policy constituted by The Swedish National Council on Medical Ethics, “SMER”. In order to do this, a post-structural method for policy-analysis called “What’s the problem represented to be”, founded by Carol Lee Bacchi (2009) have been used for the analysis. Through a d
In 1993 with the entry into force of the Maastricht Treaty, the European Union, for the first time, formally institutionalized foreign policy cooperation in its Treaties. Thence, the Treaties governing the foreign policy of the Union has undergone no less than four reforms, introducing theoretically interesting institutional innovations. Despite this, academia has largely turned its attention towa
Purpose: The purpose of the project is to create a standardized assessment tool for evaluating an organization’s maturity and performance in efforts concerning of sustainability work. Method: The work process of creating the assessment tool has gone from being explorative in the initial phase of creating a theoretical framework to abductive when creating the tool. The theoretical data was collecte
The main aim of this master project is to find out whether strain Geobacillus 7349 can produce biosurfactant during their growth by extraction and characterization of the product. The other goal is to optimize the cultivation condition of the strain. This work presents an evaluation of batch and fed-batch cultivation techniques for production of Geobacillus 7349 in shake flask, using DRM medium. T
Purpose: investigate in which ways sustainable development in Swedish schools is constructed as a wicked problem. Research Question: How is sustainable development constructed as a wicked problem in Swedish educational contexts? Methodology: A qualitative study approach was implemented where 20 semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. The data analysis followed the process of sort
This thesis explores the potential for collaboration between architecture students and children in the creative process of architectural design, emphasizing how such partnerships can transform spaces and enrich the built environment. Drawing on research that explores interactions between architecture students and children, as well as by connecting my own memories of this area with those of the chi
Even though the first coronavirus pandemic was registered in 1965, SARS-CoV-2 was better acknowledged when it caused the worldwide pandemic in 2019 in which millions of individuals lost their lives. Due to its facile way of spreading from one individual to another, the number of infected cases has gone up to more than 750 million to this day. DENV is a very dangerous virus due to its asymptomatic
Den 22 juli 2022 infördes ett kronvittnessystem med syfte att öka lagföringen och bryta den rådande tystnadskulturen. Ett system som innefattar en strafflindringsgrund avseende medverkan till utredning av annans brottslighet. Tanken bakom kronvittnessystemet är att öka incitamenten för miss-tänkta att samarbeta för att fler allvarliga och svårutredda brott ska klaras upp. Syftet med uppsatsen är On July 22, 2022, a crown witness system was introduced with the aim of increasing prosecution rates and breaking the prevailing culture of silence. This system includes a basis for sentence reduction regarding participation in the investigation of another's criminal activity. The idea behind the crown witness system is to increase incentives for suspects to cooperate in order to solve more se
The ever evolving automotive industry is pushing for further electrification of the vehicle fleet and the need for new electric drivetrains is therefore in high demand. The Formula Student competitions have also shifted their focus towards electric vehicles where innovative and efficient drivetrains are premiered in the design events. This master thesis work aimed to continue the development of Lu
Numerical simulations have become an essential tool for studying particle-gas systems. One such system is the protoplanetary disk consisting of vast number of solid particles interacting with the surrounding gas. However, the particles tend to have a non-uniform distribution due to sedimentation, among other processes, creating an imbalanced workload for computers in different regions of the disk.
Internationellt samarbete är centralt för att ta itu med de globala utmaningar som världen står inför, en av dessa är spridningen av antimikrobiell resistens. Åtgärder, som begränsar den internationella handeln, används ofta av länder för att uppnå politiska mål. I Världshandelsorganisationen (WTO) har relation mellan handel och icke-ekonomiska politiska mål, som miljö- och hälsohänsyn, diskuteratInternational cooperation is central in addressing the challenges facing the global community, one of them being the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Measures that affect international trade are often used by governments to achieve domestic policy goals. In the World Trade Organization (WTO), the relationship between trade and non-economic policy goals, such as environmental and health concerns
We have studied if there is a possible link between states’ membership in intergovernmental organizations and a desire to participate in democratization processes in our chosen analytical objects Estonia and Belarus. We analysed our empirical findings by categorizing the membership of each countries membership in IGOs. By comparing what organization each country is a part of and which ones they ha
Current methods for analysing cellular content require lysing the cells. This can be a drawback when there is a desire to study dynamic processes in the cell as the cells die during the lysis process, and a study over time is not possible. One such example exist inthe field of molecular biology, where diabetes researchers desire to study the insulin geneexpression of beta cells over time, and its d
With a mission to reduce the dependency of fossil-based plastics, the collaboration company to this master thesis project has developed and patented a technology that enables plastic production from wood fibers. The fibers of the company have been chemically treated in order to be more “plastic like” and thereby easier to mix and disperse with conventional or biobased plastics, to create a granula
Increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will have an extensive impact on Sweden's forests. These are an important natural resource, and they contribute with socially important functions such as ecosystem services and timber production. The purpose of the study is to synthesize existing knowledge about how climate change affects Swedish forests, which risks are increasing, and what forest
