Katalysatorer påskyndar en reaktion utan att själva förbrukas; denna mening känner nog många igen från sin skoltid. Andra har hört talas om katalysatorer som något de "har i bilen". Mycket riktigt är det främst i bilar där vi i våra vardagliga liv stöter på katalysatorer. Här används de för att omvandla de mycket giftiga gaserna kolmonoxid och kväveoxid till för människorna ofarligt kvävIn order to fully understand the underlying processes of catalysis, it is vital to combine measurements of the catalyst surface, where the reaction occurs, with measurements of the gas concentration close to the catalyst. We have developed a convenient setup, which uses a single laser system to visualise the gas surrounding a working catalyst in situ at realistic operating conditions. Planar Lase

Det är viktigt att arbeta förebyggande för att förhindra att sexualbrott mot barn begås, inte minst eftersom sexualbrott kan få långtgående konsekvenser för den som blir utsatt. I Europarådets konvention om skydd för barn mot sexuell exploatering och sexuella övergrepp anges att varje part ska säkerställa eller främja effektiva förebyggande eller behandlande program eller åtgärder i syfte att förhPreventing sexual crimes against children is of great importance, not least due to the far-reaching consequences that sexual crimes can lead to for those who are exposed. The Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse states that each party shall ensure or promote effective intervention programmes or measures with a view to preventing an

To stay within our planet’s limits and reach the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, there is an urgent need to rethink our current and dominant systems. This thesis focuses on the food system, in particular, and explores how an overarching turnaround in the way we produce and consume food has the potential to trigger and steer a greater transition towards sustainability. However, this

Uppsatsen innebär ett försök att utreda MER och AMA:s förhållande till AB 04 och hur de spelar in vid fastställande av entreprenadens omfattning. För att utreda frågeställningarna har en rättsdogmatisk metod använts. Den svenska entreprenadrätten har sedan lång tid setts som definierad av standardavtalen Allmänna bestämmelser. I Allmänna bestämmelser anges att entreprenadrättsligatvister ska lösaThe thesis involves an attempt to investigate MER and AMAS’s relationship with AB 04 and which role they play in determining the scope of the contract. The thesis determines the applicable law by using the legal dogmatic method. Swedish construction contract law has for a long period of time been defined by the use of a standard form contract called AB 04. Swedish construction contract law is a d

Sustainability reporting is the primary way corporate sustainability data is disseminated to stakeholders and the wider public. While sustainability reporting is growing, certain industries still lag, such as shipping. Given the crucial role sustainability reporting can play in driving sustainable business practices, promoting improved reporting in the shipping industry is a valuable goal. This t

This thesis was performed in collaboration with Phoniro AB, that develops digitally unlocked products that are mainly used in home care service. The purpose of the project was to develop one of their products through a user-centered design process. To determine which product had the greatest development potential, an evaluation of three products and the associated app was conducted. A custom heuri

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för stora utsläpp av växthusgaser från byggnadsmaterial- och energianvändning. Byggbranschen står idag för ca en femtedel av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Ett område med stor potential är byggnadsmaterial där IsoTimber är ett av företagen som driver utvecklingen framåt. IsoTimber är en relativt ny aktör inom byggsektorn som tillverkar prefabricerade väggar i trThe construction and real estate sector accounts for a large part of the emission of greenhouse gases from the usage of building material and energy. The construction industry today accounts for about one-fifth of Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. One area with great potential is building materials where IsoTimber is one of the companies that drive the development forward. IsoTimber is a re

I denna uppsats behandlas särskiljningsförmågan hos tredimensionella EU-varumärken. Med ett tredimensionellt varumärke avses något som består eller omfattar en tredimensionell form, däribland behållare, förpackningar, produkten i sig eller deras utseende. Att erhålla varumärkesskydd för en förpackning eller varan i sig ger många fördelar för den enskilde näringsidkaren. Varumärkesinnehavaren kan sThis thesis aims to investigate the criteria for assessing shape marks distinctive character as a European Union Trademark. Shape marks consist of, or extend to, a three-dimensional shape, including containers, packaging, the product itself or their appearance. Trademark protection for a shape mark provides, amongst other things, a protection against imitations and unfair advantage of the reputati

Sedan befolkningsökningen under 1800–1900 talet har en stor areal av de svenska våtmarkerna torrlagts i syfte att öka jordbruksarealerna och matproduktionen. Våtmarkerna av intresse för denna studie innehåller en stor andel organiskt material i form av torv och gyttja och benämns som organogena jordar. Sverige är ett av världens mest torvtäta länder och Skåne län erhåller en stor andel av dessa maSince a large growth in population occurred during the 1800-1900 centuries in Sweden, an expansion of agricultural land became a necessity. The government provided farmers with an allowance to exploit wetlands. A large portion of wetlands has since then been lost and used for cultivation, in particular peat lands. The drainage of peat lands results in a loss in biodiversity, poorer water condition

The GASMAS technique has previously proven useful for examining and measuring the oxygen concentration in the lungs of preterm infants. GASMAS can distinguish absorption by one gas from the bulk absorption of the surrounding media, and can provide an instant, non-invasive and non-destructive way of examining lungs, and diagnosing dangerous conditions such as pneumothorax. Pneumothorax can be life-

The transition from animal-based to plant-based proteins is rapidly increasing because of different concerns about meat consumption, some being the nutritional and environmental effects of meat consumption. During this transition, there needs to be a holistic approach to assessing plant-based food. This master thesis is focused on investigating the nutritional and environmental impact of three pla

Nu kommer kraven för att återställa naturen – hur ska företagen lösa detta bortprioriterade ämne? Planetens alla livsavgörande funktioner såsom matförsörjning och materialtillgångar är beroende av en välmående natur. Funktioner som just nu håller på att gå förlorade på grund av en global massutrotning av planetens arter. Äntligen börjar makthavare lyfta blicken och inse att det inte bara handlar o

Today, social media offers new possible tools for organizing and spreading political messages than in the past, changing the way activism can take shape and thereby producing new forms of records. These records make up an important part of today’s history and therefore should be preserved for the future. However, despite the possibilities that social media offers, commercial social media platforms

This thesis gives a contribution to strategy-proof social choice theory, in which one investigates to what extent there exist voting procedures that never can be manipulated in the sense that some voter by misrepresentation of his preferences can change the outcome of the voting and obtain an alternative he prefers to that honest voting would give. When exactly one element should be elected from a
