To improve functional properties, 2 different types of egg albumen powder (high gel instant and ordinary) were hydrolyzed with four proteases (FPC, NPU, BAP and PSP) using different protease concentration (low, medium and high) at 50C for 1 h and subsequently polymerized by transglutaminase at 40C for 24 h. The enzymatic modified egg albumen was analyzed for foaming properties: foamability as %ove

The persistence of “unexplained” gender wage differentials has necessitated an expanding body of research attempting to explain their lasting continuity. This is true of research conducted on the Scandinavian country of Sweden, which is widely regarded for a social and institutional commitment to gender equality. This paper empirically probes the existing body of gender specific wage research aski

Europeiska Unionen är världens största biståndsgivare och har gått i täten för den nya effektivare biståndspolitiken som fastslagits i Parisagendan där givarna åtagit sig att minska fragmentering, ett nytt fenomen som uppstått i takt med ett förändrat biståndslandskap. Fragmentering innebär att ”för många givare ger för lite bistånd till för många länder”, vilket skapar ett ineffektivt bistånd med

Simon Alskans Omtvistat bekämpningsmedels framfart i Skånska rapsfält Insektsbekämpningsmedel av typen neonikotinoider och dess effekter har länge debatterats. Farhågorna har bestått i huruvida de har en negativ effekt på pollinatörer, de för jordbruket viktiga bina och humlorna. Nu har en studie genomförts som istället undersöker hur neonikotinoider påverkar rapsbaggar och deras naturliga fiend

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att undersöka styvförälderns delaktighet i familjebehandling utifrån tre perspektiv; styvförälderns, förälderns och behandlarens. Genom kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer ställdes frågor till tre styvföräldrar och två föräldrar vilka genomgått familjebehandling inom kommunens socialtjänst respektive i två olika BUP-verksamheter. Tre behandlare från olika b

In recent years an increase in stress and mental strain in the workplace has been reported for instance in office work (Arbetsmiljöverket, 2014). This study examined a model that combines concepts from Karasek and Theorell´s (1990) Job Demand-Control-Support model, which has earlier been related to stress, with Macan´s (1994) Time Management Behavioral model. The aim of the study was to investigat

Social Innovation (SI) is a highly relevant concept in the modern world. The concept responds to complex societal challenges and provides innovative solutions to unmet social needs. This study is drawing upon SI theories that emphasize importance of territory, mainly from socio-political perspective, for SI. Based on interviews with seven stakeholders working with SI in the public sector, NGOs, ac

Forskningen har visat att det finns olika åsikter om innovationer kan leda till hållbar utveckling. Det finns en del forskare som menar att man med hjälp av innovationer kan uppnå en hållbar utveckling, men det finns också forskare som hävdar det motsatta. Forskningen kring vad CSR innebär är fortfarande mycket oklar, vilket kan göra det svårt för företagen att veta hur begreppet egentligen ska ha

In order for our energy consumption to be sustainable, we need to rely more and more on renewable energy resources, such as solar power and wind power. In Sweden, 69% of the land area is covered in forest. To open up the possibility of exploiting these forested areas for wind power production, it is desired to gain a better knowledge of the flow situation above forests. An analytical and a numeric

The aim of this study was to understand how care providers/ staff in nursing facilities for older people express the way they conduct their work. The purpose was based upon earlier research indicating a gap between policy and everyday practise. The questions were formulated on the basis of earlier research pointing to an inability for nursing homes to be flexible when faced with the needs and righ

Riskbedömningar i Europa har vid flera gånger pekats ut som att undermåliga. En aspekt som ofta förbises är den av pH-nivåer hos det omgivande mediet. Eftersom 80% av alla läkemedel är joniserbara, vilket påverkar biotillgänglighet och därför toxiciteten för ämnet, kommer ett förbiseende av denna aspekt skapa en stor osäkerhet i risk. Denna studie visar att riskerna med joniserbara föreningar i ÖsRisk assessments in Europe have at multiple times been pointed out as being substandard. One aspect that is often overlooked is that of the pH levels of the surrounding medium. Since 80% of all pharmaceuticals are ionizable, which affect the bioavailability and therefore toxicity of the compound, overlooking this aspect will create a great uncertainty in the risk. This study shows that the hazards

Scholars have argued that successful policymaking should take into account the systemic aspect of a Regional Innovation System and involve a variety of actors in policy processes. Leadership is an important element for enabling collaboration and coordination among these actors, for example in the emergence of policy networks. The aim of this study is to provide a dynamic view of leadership in poli

Monofunctional towns of Russia represent the extreme case of specialized settlements where the socio-economic development mostly or fully depends on the performance of one or a few town-forming enterprises. This phenomenon obtained attention after the Soviet Union collapse, which has resulted in worsening of the socio-economic situation in monotowns. However, since the 2000s the differentiation in

Article 16 of the VAT Directive, which regulates the self-supply of goods, is a good example of how it is complicated to achieve fraud resistance and full compliance with the principle of fiscal neutrality in the current system of VAT. This provision concerns taxation on business goods used for private purposes, which has shown to be a complex area of VAT. Although the application of this rule has

China’s economic growth undoubtedly led to an increase in the standard of living. Nevertheless, the price that China paid for this remarkably fast growth since its opening up in 1978 cannot be neglected. Due to a restructuring of the economic growth model, inequality occurred to a certain extent and has been strengthened by Chinese institutional features. The current growth model is considered as

Today there is a push towards creating vibrant cities where the status of pedestrians and vehicles in the traffic environment is more equal. One possible way of enabling this is to introduce walking pace areas, where drivers must keep walking speed and also must give way to pedestrians. In this work four walking pace areas are selected in order to investigate what makes them function as intended.
