This thesis examines the Multifunctional Land Redistribution Fund, launched in March 2020 by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Food, and the outcomes this policy may propel. The Fund takes aim at multiple issues of sustainability related to land use: biodiversity loss, groundwater contamination, nutrient leaching, and rural development. The Fund is to serve as a pilot project for large-scale

The progression of fire safety research has contributed to improving the guiding principles of standardised building design. Research making use of pure materials, once common in homes and workplaces, are less relevant as such materials are no longer as prevalent. It is often newer, composite materials that are featured more prominently in building contents. The trend towards the evolution of commIt is widely accepted that by lowering the oxygen concentration below that of the typical ambient conditions (21% Oxygen) fuels are less likely to ignite and will burn slower. ORS (Oxygen Reduction Systems) make use of this to protect their contents. The oxygen concentration in these systems is done by introducing a flow rate containing a higher percentage of nitrogen into the protected area. The

Underexplored Gram (-) bacteria as a new source of natural products. Microorganisms produce an impressive array of structurally diverse and complex natural products with industrially-important properties. Microbial natural products therefore continue to be an important source of clinical drug candidates. While natural products from a few soil Gram (+) bacteria, together with their biosynthetic pa

When working in collaborative projects with team members with different expertises, often from different companies, communicative and collaborative challenges that obstructs decision-making can arise due to team members having different objectives. In order to avoid problems and conflicts, good documentation of decision related information is required. The project was performed at Yolean AB, a com

Popular science summary: Is RpS6 activation important for leukemia cell progression? Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) is the most common acute blood cancer in adults. It is characterized by a rapid increase of leukemic cells in the bone marrow, compromising the development of new blood cells. Despite improvement in treatments and advancements in supportive care, the overall 5-years survival of AML i

Popular science summary: New approaches for treating lakes with ammonia pollution Extract of Yucca shidigera, a desert plant, has been used in aquaculture to control ammonia in the water. Microalgae has been proved effective in removing ammonia and phosphorous from wastewater of agriculture and aquaculture. Therefore, it is possible that they could remove ammonia from lakes. Hence, several fish t

Bakgrund: Hälso- och sjukvården genomgår kontinuerligt omorganiseringar och utsätts för ständiga ekonomiska besparingar. Samtidigt ställer sjukvårdens snabba utvecklingstakt krav på ett ledarskap som kan hantera den problematik som en komplex verksamhet innebär. Konsekvenserna av förändringsarbetet har blivit att avdelningar har slagits samman och cheftätheten har blivit glesare. De chefer som är Introduction: The health care system is undergoing continuous reorganizations and subjected to constant demands for financial savings. The rapid pace of development requires leadership that can deal with the issues that arise in this complex operation, however, the impact of these changes have resulted in consolidated departments and fewer staff. The managers who are left will be responsible for u

Background: An increased concern of environmental issues have made companies, including Haldex, look for new engineering and design practices to keep up with legislations and stakeholder pressure, often by analyzing products’ total environmental impact over their life cycles, in so called life cycle assessment studies. The Haldex Project Management Model is a company specific project model where H

Pålitliga simuleringar av komponenters hållfasthet kräver att materialets egenskaper studeras ordentligt. Gummi med fyllmedel uppvisar olika egenskaper beroende på tillämpning. I denna studie undersöks möjligheten att använda förenklingar vid simulering av materialets egenskaper.The aim of this study was to examine if simplified linear analysis can be used to capture the complex and non-elastic behaviour that filled rubber exhibits. Linear analysis includes both linear elastic material models and a linear solving technique. The studied part in this thesis was a hose, connecting the air-inlet and turbo in a Scania truck engine. The studied material was a filled EPDM-rubber

In order to reach the climate targets for the society, with significant lower proportions of CO2 emissions than today, certain actions are required. To be able to decrease the emissions, one alternative is to increase the amount of people who uses public transportation as opposed to using cars. The municipality of Åstorp is one of the districts that emits most CO2 per person and day in Scania, and

“Alla har en relation till odling och mat, oavsett om man kommer från Somalia, Irak eller Nydala i Malmö.” (Jimenez, 2012). Visst är det så! Att mat är något som vi alla har gemensamt och som förenar människor har varit utgångspunkten för detta arbete. Projektet har resulterat i ett sprudlande matcentrum i Nyhamnen i Malmö. Här kan människor från stadens alla hörn och besökare utifrån samlas krinThe fact that food is something that we all have in common and that it brings people together has been the starting point for this thesis work. The project has resulted in a vibrant food center in the future city district Nyhamnen in Malmö. Here people from all over the city can gather around the People’s Kitchen and Diner, a wine bar, urban farming facilities, food markets and more. The inspirati

Utsläpp av kväve i naturen är ett stort problem eftersom det till exempel kan bidra till övergödning och så kallade döda bottnar i sjöar i akvatiska och marina miljöer. Förmågan att kunna avlägsna kväve från avloppsvatten har därför blivit ett viktigt medel för att bevara och skydda miljön. Kväveavskiljning från kommunala avloppsvatten sker vanligtvis med hjälp av nitrifikation och denitrifikationEmissions of reactive nitrogen to the environment is of major concern, e.g. since it is known to contribute to eutrophication and dead sea floors in water bodies. The capability to remove nitrogen from wastewater has therefore become a critical means of preserving and protecting the environment. Conventional nitrogen removal from municipal wastewaters usually includes nitrification together with d

What level of influence should market actors be allowed to exert over consumers’ transactional decisions? While persuasive marketing is inherent to free markets and therefore uncontroversial, relatively recent research in the field of behavioural economics about systemic errors in human decision-making has shown just how susceptible consumers are to the will of market actors. Within a rapidly evol

Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common organ anomaly in humans affecting approximately 1:125 newborns worldwide. Early diagnosis enables postnatal stabilisation and may improve outcomes, especially in critical CHD, in which the circulation is dependent on patency of the arterial duct. Detection of CHD in newborns remains incomplete and current screening programs do not aim t

The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the possibilities and challenges of certification for obtaining sustainable tourism. On the basis of the purpose, I have designed two research questions. 1.Which are the possibilities of certification? 2.Which are the challenges of certification? My problem approach is descriptive and my aim with the thesis is to explain “how things are” at a certain time a

The field of particle physics is ever evolving. With the recent advent of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) it is possible that the long sought for Higgs boson is detected. While this is not certain even if it is found it is likely that it will need more precise methods of investigation. For this and other reasons, a new collider called the International Linear Collider (ILC) is being planned. This

While migrating to other countries, persons with disabilities often face additional obstacles as non-nationals and having a disability. Being a vulnerable group it might be hard for them to access remedies and justice. As a light in the darkness, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was adopted in 2006 in order to promote and protect the human rights of persons with disabiliti

The aim of this essay was to examine how school principals view their own and school’s responsibility when a child is suffering and in what way the principals believe that school can promote a favorable development for a child who is suffering. By thematically open interviews of four school principals at various schools in a southern swedish municipality I examined their view on their own and scho

As I write this, there are numerous horrible wars and acts of terror taking place all over the world. However, it is my belief that the situation would be even worse without diplomats working as mediators, and for them to be able to fulfil their duties they need to be inviolable. Through the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, which is believed to reflect customary international law
