Today's technology allows for communities based in polar areas to introduce composting as a way of handling organic waste. The success of this is dependent on a well functioning source separation system. The objective of this research is to examine a set of criteria that on an experiential basis influence the outcome of a number of quality aspects of a source separation system. From analysing
Implementation of the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS), a political tool intended to increase investment in renewable energy, has become increasingly common in the early 21st century. RPS policies require that a certain amount, or percentage, of electricity in a providers electricity supply mix is generated from renewable energy sources. The distribution of renewable energy generation capacity d
The purpose of this study is to examine to what extent the senior level Swedish school can be viewed as supporting, or counteracting, a colonial discourse that legitimizes global and national injustices. The study is executed through a discourse analysis of five textbooks in social science for senior level Swedish schools. Using elements from Foucault and Edward Said a theoretical framework is co
The European Union is working towards creating a Common European Asylum System for the purpose of harmonizing the domestic asylum laws of its Member States and creating a system in which asylum status may be determined justly. The Reception Directive of 2003 is the EU legislation that, among other things sets minimum standards of health care for asylum seekers in EU Member States. All EU Member St
Arbetet behandlar uppsåtsbegreppet i svensk och dansk rätt. Arbetet fokuserar särskilt på den nedre gränsen för uppsåt i svensk och dansk rätt. Uppsåt kan sägas innebära att någon gör en kriminaliserad gärning med vett och vilja. Domstolar, juridiska praktiker och teoretiker behöver dock ha ett mer preciserat uppsåtsbegrepp. I svensk rätt skiljer man på direkt, indirekt och eventuellt uppsåt, där
The present study concerns the implementation of a voluntary job rotation program for individual and organizational development. In order to increase participation in job rotation programs, it is crucial to understand the phenomenon of non-participation. Accordingly, the present study aims to (a) identify reasons for non-participation from an employee perspective and (b) uncover possible hindrance
Pålning är en typ av grundläggning lämplig för att grundlägga broar vid svaga markförhållanden. Att manuellt utforma en pålgrupp är en iterativ, tidskrävande process där snittkrafterna i pålarna måste verifieras för ett stort antal lastfall. Efter installationen kan pålarna dessutom ha nya positioner och kapaciteten måste verifieras igen. I detta projekt utvecklades en mjukvara för att automatiserFor bridges in weak ground conditions, piling is an appropriate type of foundation. To manually arrange the piles in a pile group is an iterative, time consuming process where the section forces in the piles must be verified for a large number of load cases. In addition, after installation, piles may have new positions and the capacity must be re-verified. In this thesis, a software was developed
Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur retorikteorins etiska aspekter kan implementera det etiska perspektivet i retorikundervisningen i Svenska 1, 2 och 3. Vidare strävade jag efter att synliggöra hur lärare betraktade möjligheten att involvera eleven i etisk reflektion med hjälp av retorikens metaspråk. Jag tillämpade en kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att synliggöra relationen mellan retorik och e
Flexible Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is a plastic material commonly used in today’s society and a fundamental material for a lot of sectors. It has advantages over other polymers such as energy-efficient production, flame retardancy, durability and cost-effective. The one important component in flexible PVC that gives it is flexible properties is the plasticizer. The most common plasticizers used are
Cell death is an important field of biology that is linked to many other topics in medicine and biology. One of the methods to investigate cell death is through high content screening (HCS) which makes use of robotic microscopy. By this technology, cell death associated organelle membrane permeabilisation and the localisation of certain dyes can be visualised and elucidate a substantial amount of
Skyddet för brukskonst har historiskt sett varit restriktivt men med tiden utvecklats till att bli alltmer inkluderande och generöst när det gäller alster som både har ett estetiskt och funktionellt syfte. Det upphovsrättsliga skyddet har de senaste åren genom avgöranden från EU-domstolen givits tydligare riktlinjer gällande bedömningen av alster av brukskonst. Dessa har jämställts med övriga konsThe protection of applied art has historically been limited but has over time become more inclusive of and generous towards products whose design has been dictaded by both aesthetic and functional purposes. Copyright protection has during the last couple of years, through case law from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), been given more specific guidelines regarding works of applied
Den 1 juli 2020 infördes ett nytt regelverk gällande rapporteringspliktiga arrangemang i Sverige och i samband med detta infördes även en uppgiftsskyldighet att lämna uppgifter om rapporteringspliktiga arrangemang till Skatteverket. För att ett arrangemang ska vara rapporteringspliktigt ska det vara gränsöverskridande samt innehålla minst ett kännetecken. Ett kännetecken är en egenskap i ett arranOn the July 1, 2020, a new framework of rules regarding reportable arrangements was introduced in Sweden and at the same time a reporting obligation to give information about reportable arrangements to the Swedish Tax Agency (STA) was introduced. For an arrangement to be reportable it must be cross-border and include at least one hallmark. A hallmark is a characteristic in an arrangement which is
Alzheimer’s disease is a severe neurodegenerative disease, affecting the life of millions of patients and those who stand close to them. There is an urgent need for new effective medical treatments targeting this disease, as up to now, there is none. GPR3, a highly constitutively active orphan G protein coupled receptor, was found to interact with several different molecules that are known to play
Preservation of digital records is still very much an open issue within large parts of the Swedish public sector. An ongoing work of coordinating the digital preservation in the public sector is carried out by the Swedish National Archives, but, as of yet, the results are limited, and much remains to be done. The issue of digital preservation is also inherently one that will require a lot of diffe
Abstract The world has seen three industrial revolutions and now it embraces the fourth. The fourth industrial revolution, (globalisation 4.0) or as this study uses industry 4.0, follows onto the third industrial revolution by connecting digital, material and living spheres. The narrative of Africa rising, and the related expansion of mobile phone motivated the thesis interest. As past development
Technological advancements continue to drive changes in our modern society. To keep up with these changes, it is of utter importance to stay competitive, whilst remaining flexible enough to be prepared for future changes. A sector which has struggled in this aspect, traditionally, is self-employed craftsmen - individuals who run a business based upon an aptitude for their trade. This study focuses
Payment for water ecosystem services has been gaining attention in Latin America because of the direct response for environmental conservation through economic mechanisms. By connecting nature services with people who benefit from them, it creates a sustainable intervention for the ecosystem’s management while enhancing human well-being according to policy implementers. Nevertheless, these initiat
Moving towards circular economy is considered as a fundamental way to achieve sustainable development, but practices and tools that can support businesses in implementing this concept are still underdeveloped. Moreover, there is uncertainty about the impact that the adoption of circularity has on the current way of working of a company. With the adoption of aspects of action research on a rock and
Sverige har varit skyldig att uppfylla de krav som barnkonventionen ställer upp sedan ratificeringen år 1990. Trots det har barnrättskommittén riktat kritik mot Sverige för att inte fullt ut göra det. För att stärka barnets rättigheter i enlighet med barnkonventionen har Sveriges riksdag röstat igenom förslaget om att anta barnkonventionen som svensk lag den 1 januari 2020. Med ett barnrättsperspeSweden has been obliged to comply with the requirements of the UN Convention on the Rights of Child since the ratification in year 1990. In spite of this, the Committee on the Rights of the Child has criticized Sweden for not fully doing so. To strengthen the rights of the child in accordance with the Convention, the Swedish Parliament has voted to approve the adoption of the Convention as a Swedi
Enligt nationella föreskrifter ska vindkraftverk över 150 m i totalhöjd markeras med högintensivt vitt blinkande ljus för att säkerställa att vindkraftverken är synliga för luftfarten. Samtidigt som hinderbelysningen är viktig för flygsäkerheten kan dock ljuset upplevas som störande av närboende. Syfte med denna studie är därför att utreda konflikten mellan vindkraftsetableringar och närboendes häAccording to national regulations, wind turbines over 150 m in total height must be marked with high-intensity white flashing light to ensure that the wind turbine is visible to aviation. However, while the obstacle lighting is important for aviation safety it can also be perceived as disturbing to nearby residents. The purpose of this study is therefore to investigate the conflict between wind po
