Alma Engstedt En våtmark i Skåne under november Många våtmarker har anlagts de sista 20 åren för att försöka fånga upp de mängder kväve och fosfor som sköljs ut från åkermark och tar sig vidare ut i Östersjön där de orsakar övergödning och andra miljöproblem. Det är intressant att ta reda på hur väl de fungerar och hur det kan variera under olika årstider. Vintern är inte den bästa tiden för aA small pond situated south of Helsingborg was studied between November 7th and December 1st 2003, in order to determine the transport and retention of nitrogen and phosphorus during the autumn-winter conditions of high water discharge. Two methods of water sampling were used. One based on random sampling and the other using an automatic sampler i.e. a pump with continuous sampling. Mass balance c

Despite the recent upsurge of interest in emotional non-speech sounds, very little naturalistic material is available. In this project a corpus of non-acted emotional vocalizations from Youtube videos is introduced, analyzed acoustically and tested experimentally. A rating experiment combined with acoustic analysis in Study 1 confirms that these sounds can be correctly classified by both human rat

Abstract Introduction: Understanding customer satisfaction is a central objective of organiza- tions. Besides, satisfaction is an indicator of how customers perceive the quality of an offered product or service. Relating to the literature, the customer satisfaction of interna- tional students has become increasingly important for higher educational institutions in recent years due to globalization

Today there are still single family houses with direct electric heating systems, even though this is an expensive and inefficient way of heating a house. It is common to install an air-to-air heat pump that requires less electricity to produce the same amount of heat as a direct electricity heating system. These heat pumps do not produce any energy for domestic hot water since the water is heated

The plausibility threshold started, and is still, developing through the case law of the EPO. It is used as a tool against speculative patents, as the claimed technical effect of the invention must be made plausible. The plausibility threshold is foremost being used at the EPO in relation to the requirement of an inventive step under Article 56 EPC and the requirement of sufficiency of disclosure

Migration to wintering grounds is a process that a large proportion of songbirds perform every year. It has been suggested that there are differences in the migration performance between adults and juveniles due to the experience the former have over the latter, after having flown this journey before. The aim of this study was to analyse age differences regarding activity, energy deposits and depa

The European furniture industry is driven to change from linear to circular business models. Product-service systems (PSS) are considered to offer promising solutions that may enable the transition towards the circular economy. In the furniture industry, one example of a product-service system is the furnishing rental service. However, understanding of how such a service could be developed and imp

Kalkning ger nytt liv till sura sjöar Försurning är idag inte något som det pratas speciellt mycket om i fikarummen runt om i landet, trots att det är ett problem som fortfarande lever kvar och som man jobbar för att lösa helt och hållet. Kalkning kan hjälpa till att återskapa livsmiljöer för en mängd arter i försurningsdrabbade vatten, men hur har egentligen utvecklingen i sjöarna sett ut sedan

Cultural differences in emotion recognition have been found numerous times in the literature, especially when emotions are presented in social context (Masuda, 2017). However, we need to find a socioecological difference that explains such differences as current theoretical viewpoints fail to explain why these differences only arise later in life. This study aims to see if friendship habits, how w

Vad krävs för motivering för att öka din källsortering? Trots Sveriges satsningar på bostandsnära insamling av källsorteringsmaterial kan över 60 % av avfallet som slängs i restavfall återvinnas. Vilka ytterligare insatser är det som krävs för att motivera fler att källsortera? Denna studien avser att expandera den rådande forskningen om avfallshanteringen för flerfamiljshus till att inkludera

Sökandet efter nedslagskratrar har fått mycket uppmärksamhet sedan 1960 talet och flertalet kratrar över hela jorden har bekräftats sedan dess. Likaså har många strukturer i berggrunden utan känt ursprung uppmärksammats och föreslagits som möjliga nedslagsstrukturer. I Sverige finns ungefär 40 föreslagna potentiella nedslagskratrar. I denna kandidatuppsats studeras elva av dessa; Björkö, Vara, Und

The construction of Passive Houses is challenging. On one hand, there is a strong pressure to reduce the investment cost and on the other hand optimal energy efficiency should be reached. Hence that it is indispensable for architects, engineers, and constructors to avoid any causes throughout the whole project, that would lead to performance gaps and costs overruns. The purpose of this degree proj

Att bygga stommar med enbart trä beskrivs gärna som en lågt hängande frukt i strävan mot att bygga mer miljövänliga hus, men sådana konstruktioner tar i anspråk större utrymme än andra lösningar. Då areapriset för bostäder är högt inom storstäder uppstår ibland situationer där en träkonstruktion inte blir lönsam eller helt enkelt inte får plats, det visar sig då att en träbaserad hybridkonstruktio

Var tredje inhandlad matkasse slängs, vilket innebär att en tredjedel av all mat har producerats helt i onödan. Detta motsvarar 1,3 miljarder ton varje år - vilket uppskattas kunna mätta tre miljarder hungriga magar. För att uppnå hållbar konsumtion behöver matsvinnet halveras inom tio år. Livsmedelsproduktion skapar utsläpp av växthusgaser, luftföroreningar och bekämpningsmedel som påverkar både Nature has provided us with delicious and nutritious food for many years. It is estimated that one third of all edible food is wasted globally. This means a substantial loss of resources. Consumers are unaware of the great amount of avoidable food waste that is created from household consumption and the environmental impact it has. It is of great importance to increase consumer awareness to reduce

Education is by the UN stated to be the foundation to creating sustainable development. Lately, there has been a tremendous increase in the use of information and communications technology (ICT) for educational purposes worldwide, but as many countries lag behind both in terms of uptake and usage of ICT, this limits their populations’ chances to participate. Given this, the aim of this thesis was
