Naturens resurser är inte oändliga och förnyas inte i samma hastighet som vi förbrukar dem. Genom att återvinna, minskar inte bara avfallsmängden som deponeras, utan råmaterial behöver inte förbrukas i samma utsträckning. I Sverige har vi idag en väl utbyggd återvinning där ansvaret för omhändertagande och insamling av avfall från hushåll ligger hos kommunerna, med undantag för de produkter som omEmeli Magnusson (2015) MVEK03 Natural resources are not infinite and are not renewed in the same rate as we consume them. Recycling outweighs a part of the consumption of resources, and the environmental impacts, resulting from the manufacture of new products. Recycling is an important part of getting a sustainable society, it brings us an opportunity to recycle material resources. This study exa

The integration of the global economy is a phenomena that is increasingly evident in our everyday lives. Ranging from rapid economic growth in developing nations to the flow of capital across continents, globalization is affecting almost all corners of modern society. This includes the higher education sector, in which recent years have seen unprecedented growth in Asia as the economy increasingly

Skelettskintigrafi är en bildgivande undersökning liknande röntgen, där cancer metastaser och andra benskador visar sig som hotspots. Att identifiera dessa hotspots är en svår uppgift även för erfarna läkare. I detta arbete används faltningsbaserade neuronnät till att träna datorer att hjälpa läkare identifiera hotspots.The main goal of this thesis is to design and implement a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify whether hotspots in bone scintigraphy images represent cancer metastases, caused by prostate cancer, or some other physiological process. A side task was included, where another CNN was designed and trained to classify whether a bone scintigraphy image image is acquired from the front of the pa

In this paper I have examine how Voluntourism and its bisectional content is perceived and justified by operators who are active in the volunteer travel industry. I have taken a qualitative approach and I chose to do an observational study and complementing it with four interviews. Most of my material is obtained from a volunteer organization in Thailand but two of the interviews were made with vo

An environmental management system (EMS) is a tool for systematic environmental management. The use of EMS can give several advantages but there are also costs associated with the implementation and the use of EMS, especially if the system is certified. To find out if EMS is a useful tool in the energy sector it is a good idea to study the experience of EMS up to today, e.g. advantages and disadva

Sverige är ett land med många deponier som har skiftande föroreningsnivåer. Deponin i Getabjär har tidigare klassats som riskklass 3, måttlig risk. Mycket till stor del eftersom den damm som samlar upp dess lakvatten ansetts tät och säker. På senare år har dock lakvattendammens täthet ifrågasatts vilket har lett till denna miljögeologiska undersökning. Området framför lakvattendammen och omgivning

The kind of electoral system in use in a democracy affects voters possibilities regarding the number of parties/candidates any individual is allowed to support and if there is an opportunity to vote against parties/candidates that he or she does not want to see in power. In this study 235 Swedes were participated in a survey about how they experienced three different electoral systems regarding ho

When parties compete in European elections what issue do they prioritize? That is the question this text aims to answer. It does so by focusing on two well established theories of voter behavior, namely issue ownership and issue salience. What complicates matters is that European elections are considered second-order, meaning that they are not considered as important as elections for national parl

The notion of politicization in government agencies has been described by many researchers as a threat to our democracy. But what exactly is meant by the term politicization, and how is it understood in the debate? As an attempt to answer this question, a discourse analytical method has been applied. The results show that politicization might not have an axiomatic definition, but rather that the d
