The majority of plastic packaging is not being recycled today, but burned for energy recovery or sent to landfill. This leads to vast losses of recyclable material, as well as elevated emissions of greenhouse gases from the extraction of fossil oil needed to sustain the production of new plastics. To be able take effective measures to increase recycling, causes of the low recycling levels first ha
Introduction: This study attempts to optimize the choice of stationary phase for the separation of lignosulfonate lignin compounds using supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Background: Lignin is a potential renewable source of phenolic compounds. Lignosulfonate lignins are produced during pulping processes producing very complex mixtures, which are challenging to anal
To this day, the question of what factors drive economic development and catching-up remains deeply controversial in growth literature. The concept of social capability provides a useful framework to investigate the relationship of the parallel processes of transformation, inclusion, autonomy and accountability with economic performance. Nevertheless, there are few attempts to quantify social capa
Med främsta syfte att främja kommunikationen och öka patientsäkerheten vid kirurgiska ingrepp lanserade World Health Organisation (WHO) 2008 en checklista för säker kirurgi, då många studier visade att en stor del av morbiditeten och mortaliteten vid kirurgiska ingrepp var undvikbar. I Sverige framställde Landstingens Ömsesidiga Försäkringsbolag (LÖF) 2018 en modifierad version för att bättre speg
Title: Critical Supply Chain Factors for Scaling a Startup -- A Case Study in the Industry of Semiconductors Author: Pontus Landgren Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson, Lund University, Faculty of Engineering & Lennart Moberg, Acconeer AB Background: A well implemented supply chain strategy aligned with the company's overall strategy is a prerequisite in order to successfully scale a startup.
Den feministiska forskningen menar att institutioner som har en identitetskonstruktion som präglas av maskulina normer skapar en institution som är mer benägna att svara på problem med militära styrkor och våld. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att försöka urskilja den diskursiva framställningen av maskulina normerna i EU:s policydokument som behandlar den gemensamma Europeiska globala strategin
Uppsatsen handlar om hur mentorskapsrelationen verkar som pedagogiskt verktyg för lärandet. I dagens samhälle kan mentorskap bland annat betraktas användas utifrån tanken om att främja det livslånga lärandet och som svar på samhällsutmaningar, såsom att bidra till att fler får kvalificerat arbete. Utifrån dessa tankar om mentorskap och utifrån dagens debatt kring utrikes föddas (icke-)möjligheter
Despite available vaccines, rotavirus (RV) gastroenteritis remains to be an alarming cause of under-five mortality, especially in developing countries. Research on RV has been limited by the lack of faithful in vitro models that mimic virus-host interaction and RV pathogenesis in the intestine. Most recently, adult stem cell-derived organoids have advanced the understanding of the cellular mechani
Freezing injuries usually take place in thawed plant-based food products. To reduce freezing injuries, Pulse Electric Field (PEF) treatment and Vacuum Impregnation (VI) of cryoprotectant were used before the freezing process. The aim of PEF is to provoke electroporation to the membranes of the plant cells, thereby allowing the cryoprotective solution impregnated by VI to penetrate the cells. PEF
“Det lilla man kan göra som gör stor skillnad för andra människor, det är alltid värt det” är en kvalitativ textanalys som undersöker Rädda Barnens kommunikativa arbete på den digitala plattformen Instagram. Denna uppsats fokuserar på de retoriska principerna ethos, logos och pathos. Materialet som undersöks är Instagraminlägg som är slumpmässigt utvalda från Rädda Barnens Instagramkonto. Vi inrik
This thesis is a case study which investigates political parties’ reasons and driving forces for advocating an expansion of E6 in Skåne with respect to the fact that the highway today has reached its full capacity. The two biggest parties in the region, the Social Democratic Party and the Moderate Party, have been included in the research. The arguments stated by each party, revealed through semi-
Begreppet arbetsmiljö har förändrats i takt med samhällets utveckling och idag läggs större vikt vid psykosociala faktorer. Arbetsmiljölagen fastställer att arbetsmiljön ska vara god och att risker, av både fysisk och psykosocial karaktär, för ohälsa och olyckor ska förebyggas. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vilket ansvar arbetsgivaren har för den psykosociala arbetsmiljön och hur lång
Pollinating insects are declining due to several threats, one being a loss of flower resources because of a change of land use. With rural agricultural areas becoming more homogenous, urban areas might provide refuge for pollinating insects. The main aim of this study was to investigate how the trees in the city of Malmö, Sweden, contribute with food resources, i.e. nectar and pollen, both spatial
Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to examine how gender relations are expressed by women within the IT occupation. Moreover, our objective is also to enhance our understanding of the meanings of campaigns for increased equality, by more specifically aiming to comprehend the meaning or meanings of the #MeToo campaign. Methodology: The study is based on a qualitative abductive research approach
SCAPIS is a national project in Sweden and stands for Swedish CardioPulmonary bioImage Study. The objective of SCAPIS is to find biomarkers in order to improve the risk prediction and lower the death rate of Cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is a big health problem and is one of the main causes of death in many industrial countries. It is usually related to atherosclerosis, which is plaque buildup
Habitat fragmentation is a common problem in relation with road infrastructure which leads to mortality, isolation of animal populations, and has a negative effect on biodiversity. Animal crossings have been implemented in many countries and are a useful tool to mitigate these problems but they are expensive to build. This thesis explores the methodological approaches used to evaluate how wildlife
Many studies on how to encourage pro-environmental behaviour have been done. However, they have tended to focus on individual behaviour in isolation of social interactions despite increasing scepticism about the effectiveness of this approach in promoting the necessary transition toward a more sustainable society. Such a transition constitutes a central part of the transformational mode of sustain
Humanity's current resource use patterns are unsustainable, and corrective action is required at all levels. Grassroots social innovation groups have great potential to contribute to solutions. The Transition movement has taken hold in Canada, but little is known about its successes and challenges in creating conditions for transformative change. Aimed at social innovation practitioners as w
