Biologiskt avfall till bioplast - med gröna processer av Marc Jirström Fjädrar från slaktindustrin utgör ett mycket problematiskt avfall men kan omvand- las till bioplast med hjälp av billiga och gröna kemikalier. Under detta projekt har en helt ny bioplast utvecklats, baserad på mikrofiber från fjädrar i kombination med citronsyra och glycerol - två miljövänliga och billiga reagenser. Plasten ärHandling of problematic waste material, and the use of fossil-based and non-biodegradable plastics are two major sustainability challenges. By developing solutions that convert waste material to bioplastics, it is possible to address both these issues. Every year, large quantities of feathers from the poultry industry are either stored in landfills or disposed of by incineration. The company Bioex

The absence of provisions on hardship under the United Nations Convention for the International Sale of Goods (“CISG”) and the general recognition of the principle of hardship in private international law lead to some problems to maintain the legislative purpose of the Convention as the “lingua franca” of international trade. In order to make the application of the Convention not only on the surfa

Problem: Fastighetsbranschen är en bransch som är känt för att ha en stor miljöpåverkan. Inom redovisning kan upprättandet av hållbarhetsrapporter ses som ett bidrag till hållbar utveckling. Under de senaste åren har integrerad rapportering ökat i Sverige, det är därför aktuellt och intressant att studera om införandet av integrerad hållbarhetsrapportering kan påverka fastighetsföretagens hållbarhProblem: The real estate industry is an industry that is known for having a major environmental impact. In accounting, the preparation of sustainability reports can be seen as a contribution to sustainable development.

Rättsfallen visar vilka regler och teorier som främst har använts och hur domstolarna har resonerThe purpose of this work is to examine the courts' placement of the burden of proof in the light of the theories about burden of proof which were developed in literature and practice. To fulfill this purpose, several legal cases between the years 2009 and 2019, in which the location of the burden of proof has been discussed, are examined and analyzed. The cases show which rules and theories ha

Reaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement not only requires ambitious goals from national governments, but also the active participation of local municipalities. It is in cities where climate actions need to be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach the international and national climate goals. While the importance of cities and their participation in networks has been wel

The persistence and growth of the informal economy in South America is considered one of the most relevant problems in the region. However, studying informality across countries can be a complicated task due to the lack of homogeneous concepts and measurements. In this study, a database is constructed and harmonized with household survey data from 9 South American countries for 2019. This research

Through case law in regional human rights systems and several reports by the United Nations, the link between climate change and human rights was established. But an international human right to a healthy environment has not been recognized yet. There is still a discrepancy between those who are the main contributor to climate change and those suffering the most under it. The quest to change the u

The time individuals spend in isolation has increased greatly following the preventive measures taken as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Subsequently, measuring personal time has gradually become of more importance to that of collective time - where it is assessed in coordination to others. This project attemps to introduce a new way of timekeeping and time perception to the general publ

Uppsatsen undersöker hur förvarsbestämmelserna i lagen om särskild utlänningskontroll (1991:572, härefter LSU) förhåller sig till rätten till frihet och säkerhet, oskyldighetspresumtionen samt legalitetsprincipen. Detta syftar till att utreda huruvida lagstiftningen utifrån ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv är en lämplig åtgärd för att förhindra terrorism. Uppsatsen syftar även till att placera LSU i eThe thesis examines the relationship between the detention regime in the Special Controls of Aliens Act (SFS 1991:572, SCAA) and the right to personal liberty and security; the presumption of innocence; and the principle of legality.

Aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) is a concept where water is stored in an aquifer during times when it is available, thus creating artificial groundwater, which can later be recovered by pumping when it is needed (Pyne, 1995). One ASR cycle consists of a injection, a standby and a recovery phase. The purpose of this work is to investigate the feasibility of large scale ASR systems intended for l

Naturlig språkbehandling och prostatacancer Naturlig språkbehandling är ett område inom maskininlärning för att förstå och generera text och tal. I detta arbete använder vi naturlig språkbehandling på patientjournaltexter relaterade till prostatacancer, för att klassificera dem samt extrahera relevant information. Prostatacancer är den vanligaste typen av cancer bland män och varje år dör 2400 iIn Sweden, prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer among men. The care need within prostate cancer will get higher as the population increases and gets older. With this in mind, there is a need to streamline the care pathway. One way to do this is with a clinical decision support system. Here natural language processing (NLP) plays an important role to handle the big amount of free text

Youth offending is a debated topic in Sweden today, a field in which a new sanction, ungdomsövervakning, now has been legislated. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to examine the expectations and views of the authorities which will implement the new sanction and how these relate to the objective of the legislation. Furthermore, the paper also explores how the sanction can be viewed from a societ

Vi lever i en värld där produkter konsumeras i en allt snabbare takt och där det sällan tas ansvar för det skapade avfallet. Plast är på många sätt ett otroligt material men det sätter en stor belastning på miljön både genom produktion och som avfall. Alternativ till konventionell, helt fossilbaserad plast har funnits och utvecklats under en tid nu, till exempel genom återvinning av PET-flaskor. IWe live in a world where products are consumed at an ever increasing rate, and where responsibility for the waste created is seldom taken. Plastics are in many ways wondrous materials, but they put a big strain on the environment, both in production and as waste. Alternatives to the conventional, virgin fossil-based plastics have been available and emerging for some time now, for example seen in t

Ett försök att designa metamorfa protein Ett centralt koncept inom biologi är att proteiner utför sina funktioner baserat på deras tredimensionella struktur. Vår förståelse kring faktorerna som styr vilken struktur ett protein får säger oss att ett protein antar den struktur som är energimässigt stabilast. Detta avgörs i sin tur av ordningen av proteinets aminosyror – dess ”byggstenar” – och hur
