I Sverige har mängden solel ökat och mängden installerade solcellspaneler likaså. Den här uppsatsens syfte är att analysera kunskapsläget kopplat till hanteringen och den framtida återvinningen av de uttjänta solcellspaneler som installerades i Sverige mellan år 2009 och år 2018. Detta sker både genom att ta reda på vilka mängder solcellspaneler det rör sig om, och genom att undersöka de olika aktIn Sweden, the amount of solar power has increased and so has the amount of installed solar panels. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the current state of knowledge about the handling and future recycling of the obsolete solar panels, originally installed between 2009 and 2018. This is done both by finding out the amounts of installed solar panels and by investigating the roles and attitudes

Fluorescerande protein för att mäta aktivitet i celler För undersökning av proteiner i celler är det viktigt att rätt metod används och att den fungerar för det protein man är intresserad av. Ibland kan det finnas metoder som existerar från tidigare undersökningar. I detta arbete används cyan fluorescerande protein (CFP) för att mäta aktiviteten av transkription faktorn Spx i enskilda celler. För

The aim of this study is to explore and understand how feminism or something that resembles feminism could be portrayed visually and verbally.

For wireless charging to operate correctly, the power tr

A modern automotive vehicle is a complex technical system, containing many electronic, mechanical, and software parts. Typically, a high-end vehicle contains 70 or more electronic control units (ECUs) on average. These are controlling a large number of distributed functions, of which many are safety-critical, and adding complexity, which is surpassing 100 million lines of code. Furthermore, the co

Fire and grazing, a disaster or opportunity? Due to climate change, disturbances such as forest fires are expected to see an increase in frequency in the 21st century. Fires can increase species diversity since it can create habitats for early successional species. At least if it does not happen too often. Imagine living in a house that burns down every year, it would not be a very nice place to

Skogsbränder – mångfaldens röda riddare? Skogsbränder är ett återkommande och viktigt fenomen i naturen som har påverkat de flesta ekosystem i både tid och rum.

I boreala ekosystem som utgör större delen av Skandinav

Human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) is a complex formed by human alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid that displays tumoricidal activity but does not kill healthy, differentiated cells. As the sequence of alpha-lactalbumin is conserved among mammals, lactalbumins from other species are expected to form oleic acid complexes with similar activity. This study investigated the tumo

In humans, aging is in part due to shortening of one’s telomeres. Telomeres are sequences of DNA at the end of our chromosomes that do not code for any genetic information. Thus, they can serve as protection, non-coding DNA taking damage that would otherwi

Is the management of Type 1 Diabetes best left to the medical sciences, or do the social sciences have a stake as well? In ‘Sweet Blood Surveillance,’ I push back against the perceived domination of scientific objectivity to make space for the subjective experience of diabetes in the maintenance of glucose levels through a collaboration with medical technical objects.
