Slow sand filters (SSF) are biofilters which utilize the metabolic potential of complex biofilms to remove contaminants, such as harmful chemicals, organic carbon and pathogenic bacteria, from drinking water. This study presents the first analysis of fungal internally transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences in samples from two newly constructed and one established SSF, all of which underwent a removal
Its carbon sink potential as well as soil fertility benefits make organic carbon a soil variable for which reliable quantification methods are sought. This thesis work aims at investigating the possibility of adapting a large soil spectral library to build models for SOC predictions with remotely sensed, multispectral data. For this purpose, the continental-scale LUCAS topsoil database was spectra
Immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees with no swedish passport or residence permit can under particular circumstances be transferred to and held in custody. For the sake of simplicity, all of the terms above will be referred to as “immigrants etc.” in this abstract. These individuals residence in custody are regulated by criminal laws, except certain facilitations regarding contact with others o
The purpose of this study was to understand the role of a sustainable lifestyle for self-declared green consumers during Christmas. While such consumers tend to behave sustainably in their everyday lives, the researchers were interested in finding out how this might change in a specific setting, in this case Christmas, which is commonly associated with consumerism in the Western world. Furthermore
Bakgrund: Vid en ryggmärgsskada sker en plötslig livsförändring där patientens kroppsfunktion kan påverkas och därmed också dennes aktivitetsmönster och aktivitetsidentitet. Rehabcoachen har en unik roll i rehabiliteringsteamet med sin egen kännedom om livet med en funktionsnedsättning och kompletterar teamet, genom att vara en förebild med större möjlighet att kunna motivera patienten. Trots att Background: In the event of a spinal cord injury, an instant life change occurs where the patient's body function can be affected and therefore also their occupational patterns and occupational identity. The rehab coach has a unique role in the rehabilitation team with their knowledge about living with a disability which complements the team by being a role model with greater opportunity to mo
The Swedish construction industry is subject to a high rate of occupational injuries, where overload factors are a significant cause. Through Human Activity Recognition, movement data can be collected and analyzed, enabling the identification of harmful movement patterns with the use of machine learning. This study aims to describe the environmental barriers and stakeholder attitudes towards a sma
Abstract Digital marketing has been widely explored within B2C while the development within B2B is slower. B2B companies still face difficulties to meet changed customer preferences for marketing and communication. Customers expect personalized marketing in real time, the information flow is changing and it is challenging, both for customers and companies, to handle all available data. This
This bachelor thesis is based on a fear of a growing consumption behavior where short lived life cycles of products are causing negative affects on our attempts of building long and healthy relationships to products. The work is also based on a hope of designing products that people are able to appreciate over long period of time. What is it that makes people value and appreciate desig
Tidigare forskning har visat att personer som skadar sig själva tenderar att uppleva mötet med vården negativt. Vårdpersonal kan ha negativa attityder till självskadebeteende, och deras möten med patienter kan väcka känslor av frustration, uppgivenhet och oro, vilket kan påverka bemötandet. Studier har framförallt gjorts med sjuksköterskor och läkare, och i betydligt mindre omfattning med psykologPrevious research has shown how individuals who injure themselves tend to have negative experiences from their encounters with health services. Health service staff may have negative attitudes towards Non-Suicidal Self-injury (NSSI) and their encounters with patients may evoke frustration, hopelessness and worry, which may influence their behavior towards patients. Studies have mainly focused on n
Despite its sandy beaches, lush forest, and many sunshine hours, Bornholm was placed on a list along with 23 other municipalities as a peripheral area by Erhvervsstyrelsen in 2014. This designation means that the municipality’s income per capita is less than 90 percent of the national average and over an hour away from a large city. Being called a peripheral area can come with many negative assump
I ljuset av BEPS-projektets strävan efter effektivare tvistlösningsförfaranden i samband med dubbelbeskattning har EU tagit fram mekanismer som avser att effektivisera skattetvistlösning inom unionen. Resultatet blev rådets direktiv (EU) 2017/1852 av den 10 oktober 2017 om skattetvistlösnings-mekanismer i Europeiska unionen (skattetvistlösningsdirektivet), vilket sedan 2019 även är implementerat iIn the light of the BEPS projects aim to implement more effective dispute resolution mechanisms in situations where a double taxation may occur the EU have worked to develop mechanisms to make dispute resolution within the union more effective. The EU’s effort resulted in the Council Directive (EU) 2017/1852 of 10 October 2017 on Tax Dispute Resolution Mechanisms in the European Union (the Tax Dis

Our study aims to get a greater understanding of why students choose a social work education and why the education is so popular despite the social service’s negative reputation. We also aim to get an understanding of the student's intended career paths. We used Hans-Georg Gadamer's hermeneutic approach to the study so that we could use our own interpretations of why students made their ch
Mental unhealthiness among school students in Swedish elementary schools has increased in recent years, which is not least seen by various reports and surveys. All schools have different approaches to their equal treatment work, focusing on making the students feel as comfortable as possible. In recent years, norm criticism has gained a greater part in this equal treatment work, which means making

The ongoing human impact in form of deforestation, urbanization and intense agriculture is affecting the natural hydrology and our freshwater lakes negatively. Both eutrophication and brownification has seen to increase with the ongoing environmental change which can potentially have large impact on our freshwater ecosystems. Using a mesocosm experiment, this study investigates the individual and
The purpose of this project was to create an object that improves the performances of football players, preferably on all levels, be it professionals or amateurs. The main theme was science and technology, to explore how they together can be used to accomplish this task. The project consisted of doing research on site at amateur football clubs, which included observations of training sessions a
The research field of middle management within elderly care in Sweden is fairly unexplored. Even more so, there is little to no research on communication or communicative leadership and its influence on middle management within elderly care. Therefore, this study aims to investigate managers perspective on communication by interviewing middle managers working with elderly care. Furthermore, the st
Augmented reality is a field which is getting increased funding every year, as more businesses are realizing the potential of rendering virtual objects in the real world. As the equipment gets more commercialized, the costs will get lowered while performance also goes up. As of now, augmented reality mostly makes use of plane detection and marker detection to find and locate objects. We want to in
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån en rättsdogmatisk metodlära undersöka vad som krävs för att ett barn ska beredas vård med stöd av LVU för ett socialt nedbrytande beteende. För att besvara syftet har jag använt mig av underrättspraxis. Detta med anledning av att förarbetets tolkning av rekvisitet är vagt. Utifrån syftet är frågeställningarna: Hur bör barnets bästa tolkas? Överensstämmer LVUThe necessary conditions for the compulsory care of children based on the grounds of socially degrading behaviour are vague in the legislative history. The purpose of this thesis is to examine compulsory care of children on the grounds of socially degrading behaviour with aim of creating more clarity.
