The performance of five commercial available biobased packaging films for fully-baked frozen bread was studied in comparison to polyethylene (PE) film. The main purpose of this study was to understand how biobased packaging materials affect the quality of fully–baked frozen bread. The five biobased packaging films evaluated in this study were biobased polyethylene (bio-PE), Biodolomer®, polylactic
Undersökning visar att privatisering inom det sociala arbetet stadigt ökar (Statistiska centralbyrån 2016a) samtidigt visar forskning att socialarbetares inställning till privatisering generellt sett kan betraktas som negativ (Liljegren et al. 2008; Dellgran & Höjer 2005a; Dellgran & Höjer 2005b). Ökningen trots den generellt sett negativa inställningen tycks indikera på ett glapp mellan sSurveys shows that privatization in social work is steadily increasing (Statistiska Centralbyrån 2016a), while other research shows that social workers' attitudes towards privatization can generally be regarded as negative (Liljegren et al., 2008; Dellgran & Höjer 2005a; Dellgran & Höjer 2005b). The increase, despite the generally negative attitudes, seems to indicate a gap between soc
Digitaliseringen i den obligatoriska skolan och samhället är ett faktum. Regeringen beslutade 2017 om en digitaliseringsstrategi för Sverige och prioriterade där skolväsendet som ett av nyckelområdena. Däremot omfattas kulturskolan inte av digitaliserings-strategin, och avsaknaden av styrdokument inom kulturskolan gör att undervisningen kan skilja sig åt beroende på var i landet undervisningen skeDigitalisation in compulsory school and society is a fact. In 2017, the government decided on a digitalisation strategy for Sweden and prioritized the school system as one of the key factors. However, the Municipal School of Arts and Music is not included in the digitalisation strategy, and the lack of governance documents within the Municipal School of Arts and Music means that teaching can diffe
The present study examines the discussions about alliance policy in the Swedish council of the realm 1680-1683. Taking issue with earlier research that has portrayed the Swedish foreign policy during this period in realist terms, the study instead uses the concepts of friendship, status and sovereignty to give context to the arguments used by the council when discussing alliance partners. Regardin
In this work, potential adverse tissue heating in conjunction with near infrared (NIR) laser spectroscopy was studied. The tissue heating from laser light within the NIR optical window is currently a relatively unexplored field. Further knowledge of this heating is essential for the development of safe medical devices utilising laser spectroscopic diagnostics methods on living tissue. Surface temp
The purpose of this paper is to find possible measures to tackle algorithmic collusion, caused especially by pricing algorithms, from the perspective of competition law. This paper does not intend to analyse all possible measures that may exist, but rather, focus on a few measures that are seen reasonable. Before proceeding further to analyse these possible measures, the concepts of algorithms and
The thesis explored how waste could be prevented through public procurement in the public institutions on the Danish island, Bornholm. The island has set an ambitious vision, ‘Bornholm showing the way – without waste 2032’, aiming for 100 % waste recycling and reuse by 2032. To reach the vision, it is essential to include waste prevention, particularly dematerialisation before goods are procured o
Den första oktober 2019 infördes med SFS 2019:523 en lång rad lagändringar i hyreslagen. Till de viktigaste ändringarna hör 1) kriminalisering av köpare av hyreskontrakt, 2) skärpta straff för försäljning av hyreskontrakt, 3) kriminalisering av andrahandsuthyrning om hyresgästen både saknar tillstånd från hyresvärd eller hyresnämnd och tar ut ett överpris och 4) att hyresrätter inte längre kan bytOn 1 October 2019 SFS 2019:523 was entered into action, containing a long list of legal changes in the Swedish Rent Act (Hyreslagen). Among the more prominent changes were i) the criminalization of buyers of a rental contract, ii) harsher punishment for selling such contracts, iii) criminalization of tenants who both sublet the apartment without permission from the landlord or the Rental Board and
Malaria is a disease that affects about 228 million persons every year. It is a deadly disease caused by a Plasmodium parasite, spread by female Anopheles mosquitos. Today there is no cure, but it can be treated with medicine and taken in prevention. Unfortunately, the parasite is getting resistant to the drugs on the market. The most common drug is chloroquine which was discovered in 1934 and ha
This master’s thesis is about cataloguing and information practices. In Sweden, most cataloguing is done in LIBRIS, a national database containing the collections of most public and academic libraries in the country. The people who catalogue books and other types of media in this database work at libraries that span the entire nation. It is a national collective engaged in the joint enterprise of
Image-based rendering for view synthesis is a field within computer vision that has seen a growing number of research activity within the past few years, much due to deep learning techniques emerging, allowing researchers to re-format view synthesis as a learning problem. The multiplane image (MPI) is a recently proposed learning-based layered 3D representation, created from one or a few input ima
Hösten 2017 blir en professionell ishockeyspelare dömd för misshandel av hovrätten efter att ha crosscheckat en motspelare i nacken. Än en gång väcktes frågan om hur mycket våld som är tillåtet inom idrotten. Vad legitimerar idrottsvåldet och vilka handlingar är så pass allvarliga att de bör leda till allmänt åtal? Idrotten har en särställning inom samhället. Idrottens rättsliga särart bygger på In the fall of 2017 a professional ice-hockey player gets convicted for assault by the court of appeal after he crosschecked an opponent in the neck. The question about how much violence that is allowed in sports was raised yet again. What is the legal ground that legitimizes violence in sports and which type of actions are allowed? The sports movement is often seen as an independent operation th
När en förvaltningsdomstol beslutar att en upphandling ska rättas eller göras om, får detta konsekvenser för den leverantör som vunnit upphandlingen. Exempel på detta kan vara att den vinnande leverantören ska uteslutas från en ny anbudsutvärdering eller att den vinnande leverantören får vara med i den nya anbudsutvärderingen men med en lägre poäng än tidigare. I uppsatsen studeras det som kallas When an administrative court decides that a public procurement are to be recommenced or corrected, this will have consequences for the supplier that has won the procurement. Examples of this can include that the wining supplier becomes excluded from the new evaluation of tenders or that the wining supplier is allowed to participate in the new evaluation of tenders but with a lower score than befor
Sammanfattning Marknadsföring är ständigt föränderlig och kräver hela tiden utveckling för att utmana konsumenter. Genom de första bloggarna, skapades en ny marknadsföringsportal som var mer genomträngande än traditionell reklam. Från detta utvecklades influencer-marketing, alltså marknadsföring via sociala medier. Näringsidkare kan använda en influencers plattform som kan en katalysator för ett Abstract Marketing is continuously changing and requires constant development to challenge consumers. Through the first blogs, a new marketing portal was created that was more penetrating than traditional advertising. From this, influencer marketing, i.e. marketing through social media, developed. Businesses can use an influencers platform as a catalyst for a commercial message, where, in additio
This paper examined the language attitudes of native English speakers recruited from Reddit toward two native and two non-native English accents using the verbal-guise technique and speech audio files from The Speech Accent Archive (Weinberger, 2017). The two native English accents are General American (GA) and Received Pronunciation (RP). The two non-native English accents are German- and Mexican
Ecological restoration has become an increasingly used practice to revert degraded land and mitigate the effects of extreme events in vulnerable biomes such as drylands. Methods to improve the assessment of these restoration interventions are essential to ensure their success, optimize resources and identify improvement aspects for future interventions. This study develops a method to assess the p
Den tekniska utvecklingen och förändrade arbetsformer gör att det i dag är enklare än någonsin för arbetsgivare att kontrollera och övervaka arbetstagare. Under senare år har det blivit allt vanligare att arbetsgivare övervakar arbetstagares elektroniska kommunikation. Med elektronisk kommunikation avses arbetstagares kommunikation via användningen av arbetsgivares IT-utrustning och internetanslutDue to technical developments and changed forms of working, it is now easier than ever for employers to control and monitor employees. In recent years, it has become increasingly common for employers to monitor employees’ electronic communications. Electronic communication refers to employee communication via the use of the employer’s IT equipment and internet connection. The most prevalent form o
Civil society is regarded to be a cornerstone in democratic societies and therefore an essential field of social science (Wijkström & Lundström 2002, Harding 2012). However the leadership of civil society organizations (CSOs) has been bypassed (Wijkström & Malmborg 2005). In this study I have interviewed three leaders from the Swedish Red Cross and three others from Swedish Save the Childr
Aims: This study looked at whether oral desmopressin, by decreasing kidney urine production, would prolong bladder filling-time thereby increasing the time to reach maximum capacity, thus reducing overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms, and providing an alternative method of treatment to OAB sufferers. Methods: An investigator-initiated, 2-week, multi-national, multi-centre, "proof-of-concept," phase I
The pathogenic yersiniae inject proteins directly into eukaryotic cells that interfere with a number of cellular processes including phagocytosis and inflammatory-associated host responses. One of these injected proteins, the Yersinia protein kinase A (YpkA), has previously been shown to affect the morphology of cultured eukaryotic cells as well as to localize to the plasma membrane following its
