Enligt prognoser från FN kommer världens befolkning att vara mellan 9,6 och 13,2 miljarder till år 2100. Samtidigt ökar den globala ekonomiska tillväxten och urbaniseringen där U-länder övergår till I-länder. Befolkningstillväxt och konsumtion ökar parallellt, vilket innebär en betydande påfrestning på jordens naturresurser. Även om Sverige har en god avfallshantering jämfört med andra europeiska
During the 1700's lifestyle and material culture varied a lot between towns and rural areas. The aim for this thesis is to study how this difference between town and countryside emerges and how an identity as a burgher or farmer will manifest itself in the material culture. An important question is if it is possible to find a particular urban lifestyle and if that is the case, what it looks like.
One of the major issues in the pharmaceutical industry today is the cost of development and validation of the production of the active pharmaceutical ingredients. The development, optimization and validation of a production plant have been dominated by an extensive experimental approach. The large amount of experimental work and reluctance for changing existing processes has caused the pharmaceut
The aim of this dissertation is to study some of the forces behind the transformation of the 20th century industrialised countryside. The emphasis is on changes in everyday life for women and men, and the role of organisations therein. Two main questions are outlined: Which forces were central to the development of the industrial society?, and, how did the relationship between individual and socie
The work examines developments in the novel and the short story of writers who grew up during the New Order era (1966-1998) in the period of reform post 1998. It is assumed and subsequently affirmed that the genres are developing, modern genres in dialogue with the past and present. The work's main use of theory is that of M. M. Bakhtin's ideas of dialogism. The assumption of 'novelization' is fra
A new high-brightness source for soft X-rays and EUV-radiation has been developed. This laser-plasma source utilizes a microscopic liquid droplet or jet as target. The result is a reduction of debris emission by several orders of magnitude compared to conventional laser plasmas. The minute amounts of residual ionic/atomic debris can be obstructed by filters or a localized gas shield. Target liquid
Mass corrections and decay constants for light mesons have been calculated in Partially Quenched Chiral Perturbation Theory. The calculations of the charged meson masses have been performed to third order, first for degenerate quark masses, and then, in a second project, for the general case. Another calculation also shows that a resummation of unphysical double poles in the neutral propagators o
It’s difficult to establish the correct definition of what constitutes rape and sexual consent, especially since the definitions are different depending on the source. The different guises of rape are many and will be established as a part of the essay. The differences between how adolescents and the judiciary interpret sexual consent, sex and rape will also be stated. Sexual violence is a major p
In the 17th and 18th century, travel and exploration outside Europe became more frequent, as did written accounts of travellers´ exploits. Travel writing was an immensely popular literary genre at the time, since it was one of few ways of gaining knowledge about peoples and cultures outside of Europe. In this paper, five such pieces of travel writing – written by Swedes who had travelled in the Ot
This paper examines the impact of formal and informal institutions on the Chinese music industry. Standard utilitarian theory states that property rights are essential for innovation and this research tests the effects that intellectual property rights has on the Chinese music industry by using panel data on the provincial level for the years 1997 to 2011. In order to further investigate the Chine
