Finding sustainable alternatives to the current degrading activities associated with metal mining and production is essential in order to meet increased resource demand and stricter environmental regulations. One option that recently has gained interest is to recover metals from fly ash, which is produced when incinerating municipal solid waste. As of today, metal resources in fly ash are not util
The part of a structure which separates two floors is called a slab. A type of concrete slab that is becoming increasingly popular is hollow core slabs. A hollow core slab consists of slabs of 1,2 m width placed next to each other, and the space that is created between the slabs is filled with concrete after mounting. The hollow core slab transfers horizontal forces, such as wind load and earth pr
Heat treatment of dairy products is essential for food safety, one way to perform this is ultra-high temperature (UHT) processing. During the process, macronutrients and minerals form fouling deposits which impairs heat transfer. Eventually the fouling needs to be removed chemically by alkaline and acidic detergents. Fouling buildup and removal are dependent on both internal parameters such as the
Modern construction sites are associated with high demands on suitable soil conditions, resulting in geotechnical challenges that can be solved using soil stabilisation techniques. The reliability of these techniques is tested using different quality assurance methods. One of the most common ground stabilisation methods is jet injection and installation of jet grouted columns. Quality control (QC)

För att förhindra att ägare av företag med en mer begränsad ägarkrets, så kallade fåmansföretag, tar ut högbeskattade arbetsinkomster som lägre beskattade kapitalinkomster finns det särskilda regler. Dessa regler är kända som 3:12-reglerna och finns i 57 kap. inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229), IL. Endast de andelar som definieras som kvalificerade andelar omfattas av särreglerna. Enligt 57 kap. 4 § In order to prevent owners of closely held corporations from transforming highly taxed salary income into lower taxed capital income, special rules exist for closely held corporations. These rules are known as the 3:12-rules and are found in chapter 57 of the Swedish income taxation act (inkomstskattelagen (1999:1229), IL). Only shares that are defined as qualified shares are subject to the 3:12-r
Making decisions on what to acquire and what not to acquire is, and has been for centuries, a task that librarians are relied on to perform. Over the recent decades focus in acquisitions has turned slightly away from the expertise of the librarians towards the needs of the library users. Reasons for the turn has been lacking financial funds and a desire to increase service in libraries. The effect
Till skolan kommer elever med olika förutsättningar för sitt lärande. För en del elever är den ordinarie undervisningen inte tillräcklig för att nå uppsatta läromål. Inom den s.k. särskilda elevstödjande verksamheten kan skolan vidta åtgärder för elever som är i behov av extra stöd i lärandet. Inom sådan verksamhet kan uppgifter vara av allt ifrån integritetskänslig till harmlös karaktär. OffentStudents come to school with different settings for their learning. For some students the regular teaching is not sufficient to achieve the set learning goals. In the so-called special student support activities (Sw. särskild elevstödjande verksamhet), the school can take action for students who are in need of extra support in their learning. Within such activities, data can range from sensitive t

The product H2 is a new heat exchanger produced, manufactured and sold by Heatex. It has an excellent surface efficiency, in large parts because of its slim features. The slim features does however have a drawback. It isn’t as mechanically stable and robust as its earlier cousins. The product tends to deform plastically in lifting conditions, especially the heavier versions needs extra support or,
Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) is a proposed diagnostic technique with potential as a means of discovering cancerous tumours. The technique combines ultrasound and laser radiation to probe tissue in a non-invasive, harmless way. An important aspect in UOT is the ability to distinguish the probing light from background scattered light generated by the technique, which limits its reso

The main purpose of this study was to understand how biobased packaging materials affect the quality of fully–baked frozen bread. The five biobased packaging films evaluated in this study were biobased polyethylene (bio-PE), Biodolomer®, polylactic
Undersökning visar att privatisering inom det sociala arbetet stadigt ökar (Statistiska centralbyrån 2016a) samtidigt visar forskning att socialarbetares inställning till privatisering generellt sett kan betraktas som negativ (Liljegren et al. 2008; Dellgran & Höjer 2005a; Dellgran & Höjer 2005b). Ökningen trots den generellt sett negativa inställningen tycks indikera på ett glapp mellan sSurveys shows that privatization in social work is steadily increasing (Statistiska Centralbyrån 2016a), while other research shows that social workers' attitudes towards privatization can generally be regarded as negative (Liljegren et al., 2008; Dellgran & Höjer 2005a; Dellgran & Höjer 2005b). The increase, despite the generally negative attitudes, seems to indicate a gap between soc
