A long shelf life is of utmost importance when it comes to storage of food. Oats are expected to be easy to store like other cereals. However, oats that are stored for a long period of time are susceptible to becoming rancid, owing to its high lipid content. The lipids are mostly unsaturated fatty acids and prone to deterioration by native lipases which release fatty acids like oleic, linoleic and
This study aims to rate the pollution risks of three fur farms breeding mink in Kristianstads municipality. The risk for each farm was analyzed according to the standardized method for polluted areas in Sweden (MIFO phase 1). The farms were divided into groups based on the risk that each farm has potentially polluted the soil, water or buildings that are located nearby or on the property. The stud
This thesis explores the patterns of shared e-scooter usage in the cities of Oslo and Stockholm, with a focus on understanding how these trips relate to public transport services. While e-scooter usage has soared during the last decade, policy makers, urban and transportation planners attempt to understand this new phenomenon and its effect to public transport. Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

Prior research has established that misinformation can distort episodic memory, and that attention plays a critical role in how these distortions unfold. Eye movements, as a real-time index of attention, offer a powerful method for investigating the mechanisms linking misinformation and memory. Although earlier studies have examined misinformation effects on eye movements, these studies have mostl
Sowing wildflower strips is a commonly applied agri-environmental scheme in agricultural landscapes used to mitigate the ongoing decline in pollinator diversity and abundance. Flower strips can be implemented as either annual or perennial plantings to promote biodiversity and/or ecosystem services. As different objectives may require different seed mixtures, this may impact how various pollinator
The aim of this study is to get a deeper understanding of the emotional processes, women living with intimate partner violence experience, by analyzing six autobiographies in a qualitative thematic analysis. By having an inductive approach, we identified the following theories to be relevant and applicable to the women's descriptions of their relationships: the normalization process, stigma an
The aim of this thesis project was to develop or lay the base for an innovative oat and chickpea based fermented product. From a previous thesis project, Glucanova AB had developed an oat and chickpea base called OatChic®. The goal of this thesis project was to evaluate the effects of fermentation on OatChic® by characterizing prototypes based on the beta-glucan content, phytic acid content, sugar
The purpose of the study has been to examine how people on the three most popular dating sites for young adults in Sweden are presenting themselves in the digital landscape. People can present themselves in many ways and this study has mainly focused on the visual presentation. It has reviewed to what extent young adults emphasize their bodies on different dating sites.

Does it pay to adopt Climate-Smart Practices? Despite the general understanding that CSA practices or innovative land management methods increase farmers’ food security, the key to the current debate within the literature is to understand the extent to which CSA practices explain differences in farmers’ productivity and resilience to climatic shocks. To fill this gap, this study examines the varia
Reducing the environmental impact from packaging has become a highlight in both consumers and industrial interest. The paperboard from virgin fibres is commonly used in the folding carton packaging across various type of products, including health care products. It provides the premium perception to the product value yet less circulates the fibre economy. After the paperboard folding carton serves

In August 2016, Samsung launched the Galaxy Note7, but the initial excitement of both the company and the market dropped painfully after only a few days when reports covered phones that were bursting into flames. With an increasing number of incidents and massive media coverage, Samsung had to quickly step up its actions from a reluctant withdraw to a global recall within only one month. Hence, th
När en ventilationskanal går igenom en ljudklassad vägg kommer reduktionstalet för skiljekonstruktionen att försämras då ljud kan överföras från det ena till det andra rummet via ventilationskanalen. För att förhindra en försämring av skiljekonstruktionens reduktionstal, vilket är syftet med den här studien, kan flertalet åtgärder tillämpas på kanalen. Tre ljudklassade väggar kombinerades med tre When a ventilation duct passes through a sound-classified wall, the sound reduction index for the combined wall will deteriorate as sound can be transmitted from one room to another via the ventilation duct. In order to prevent a deterioration of the sound reduction index, which is the purpose of the report, several measures can be applied to the duct. Three sound-classified walls are combined wit
Globalization has led to the emergence of global value chains (GVCs) and most of the world’s trade is now in intermediate inputs. This has raised questions about employment in GVCs and attracted the interest of researchers and policymakers alike, but is difficult to study empirically. This paper investigates job creation in simple and complex GVCs for 43 economies between 2000 and 2014 on the basi
The master thesis was carried out as a part of the project Ecoist at Sirgomez Engineering AB, with the goal of reducing the complexity and mass of the current front suspension upright by designing a new upright from one piece, whilst also considering other aspects such as reliability and manufacturability. In order to achieve this, topology optimization was used. The inputs for the optimization ne
