Sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) is a relatively new way of handling stormwater in urban environments. Originating in the late 1980’s, the concept has developed as an alternative to the traditional way of removing the urban water as quick as possible in pipes, buried underneath the ground. Sustainable urban drainage systems are open solutions, designed to regenerate nature’s way of stormw

Although development of electrical vehicles seems to go forward, they are still best suitable for short range transportation, and are dependent of generation of clean electricity to be environmental friendly. The fuel cell has issues to be solved, for example low efficiency at loading, and also problem of generating and storing the hydrogen fuel in an efficient way. Recent years the hybrid vehicle

Partnervåld utgör ett allvarligt samhällsproblem med omfattande konsekvenser för både individer och samhälle. För att minska risken för skada till följd av problemet behöver socialtjänsten arbeta med både primär och sekundär prevention. Ett effektivt förebyggande arbete förutsätter emellertid kunskap om den tidsmässiga ordningen och variationen av riskfaktorer som är förknippade med utövande av paIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious social issue with profound consequences for individuals and society. To reduce the risk of harm caused by IPV perpetration, social services need to engage in both primary and secondary prevention efforts targeting the issue. However, effective preventive work requires knowledge about the temporal sequence and variability of risk factors associated with

Introduction:Fava beans are becoming an increasingly popular and viable crop, offering a nutritious option for innovative plant-based food products. Despite their potential, fava beans remain underutilized in the food industry, with their primary use still being as animal feed [1]. However, fava beans are an interesting base material for producing plant-based milk alternatives. While soy milk curr

Introduction. Fava beans are an increasingly popular and viable crop, and an excellent nutritious choice for novel plant-based food products. Fava beans are industrially underexploited as a food ingredient and are today mainly used as animal feed [1]. However, fava beans are an interesting base material for producing plant-based milk. While soy milk dominates the legume-based beverage segment, the

The overall aim of this work was to evaluate symptoms, subjectively scored function and physical outcome in patients with surgically treated ankle fractures. Another aim was also to evaluate the effects of a standardised but individually suited supervised training program. In all, 209 patients with surgically treated ankle fractures were included in three different samples: 54 individuals aged 18-

Abstract Along with liver and muscle tissue, adipose tissue helps maintain normal levels of glucose and lipids in the blood and has a very important role when it comes to storing lipids that can provide whole-body energy. After a meal is ingested, adipocytes take up glucose from the circulation and use it as a substrate for synthesis of new fatty acids (FAs) in a process known as de novo fatty

System Thinking is the mindset of defining and confining a problem and its symptoms as well as a method for communicating system understanding. System Analysis is taking that problem apart to understand its causalities and structural arrangement. System Dynamics is the use of the results of System Analysis in order to reconstruct the system of causalities. Modelling is used for understanding comp

Floder och åar är viktiga källor för järn och andra näringsämnen till Östersjön. De senaste decennierna har järnkoncentrationen i svenska och finska åar ökat kraftigt, vilket skulle kunna leda till en ökad transport av järn till Östersjön. Vilken effekt detta kan ha för Östersjön beror på vad som händer med järnet när det möter det salta vattnet i Östersjön. Järn transporteras huvudsakligen i formRivers have traditionally not been considered important sources of bioavailable iron (Fe) to the marine waters, since most Fe is lost by salinity-induced aggregation and sedimentation during estuarine mixing. However, recent studies from boreal rivers found a remarkably high Fe stability, probably due to the interaction with organic matter. Recent studies have suggested that Fe speciation is a key

Nanowire (NW) based devices provide bright possibilities for many different applications [1]. The use of block copolymers (BCPs) for nanopatterning of dielectric masks for selective area metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) of III-V nanowires [2] and for NW-device applications [3] has a great potential, when it comes to increasing the NW density and reducing their diameters, which is importan

The electricity sector is in the beginning of a large shift from centralized dispatchable production to distributed variable production. With this necessary change, new challenges arise. One crucial challenge is related to upholding the system balance in the power grid. In this master thesis, a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) has been implemented in an HVDC-system with large amounts of Wind P

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att tydliggöra den juridiska gränsdragningen mellan agent- respektive återförsäljaravtal. Detta har gjorts genom att redogöra för respektive avtalstyps särdrag. För att kunna dra gränsen mellan de båda avtalstyperna krävs att en helhetsbedömning görs av parternas avtal och av hur de faktiskt har agerat i sin avtalsrelation. Några omständigheter som särskilt ska bThe purpose of this thesis has been to clarify the legal demarcation between agency and distribution agreements. To do this, the characteristics of each type of agreement has been described. In order to be able to draw the line between the two types of agreements, an overall assessment of the parties’ agreement is required. How the parties’ have conducted their trades according to their contractua

The legislation for energy consumption in homes has been strengthened in recent years. In pursuit of energy-efficient homes various forms of low-energy houses have been developed, including Passive Houses. Progress has been made regarding walls, windows and roofs to create a low U-value, while the foundation of the house has been put aside from energy saving point of view. For that reason the aim

Tvister gällande kommersiella entreprenader har historiskt sett avgjorts genom skiljeförfaranden och är därtill undantagna från köplagens tillämpningsområde. Under en lång period har entreprenadrätten varit nästintill frikopplad från den allmänna avtalsrätten. Emellertid har andelen tvister som tagits upp i allmän domstol och som sedermera nått ett avgörande i Högsta domstolen ökat under de senastHistorically, construction contract law has been litigated through arbitration, and it is excluded from the scope of the Sale of Goods Act. For a long period of time, construction contact law has nearly been disconnected from general contract law. However, the proportion of litigations raised in general court and subsequently reaching a judicial decision in the supreme court, has increased in rece

Summary This master thesis evaluates the benefits of using multi-echelon control instead of single-echelon control of a multi-echelon inventory system. The multi-echelon inventory system studied in this thesis is a one-warehousemultiple- retailer inventory system. Multi-echelon inventory control is defined as a method to optimize the inventory system by taking the interdependencies between differe
