In an uncertain and ambiguous world, organizations need to find new ways to manage change and stay in business. Constantly changing environmental policies and corporate climate action puts even more pressure on organizations in change management. It is apparent that corporate climate action shapes the way companies operate a business. Hence, the purpose of the present study is to shed light on man
This paper examines youth engagement within the Global Landscapes Forum, a conference that took place in Paris, December 2015, and its contribution towards moving intergenerational equity forward. Youth are considered one of the main stakeholders when it comes to decision-making in long-term environmental issues as they are part of the current generation that are likely to face the implications of
This thesis analyses three Fy og Bi films from the silent era: Tyvepak (1921), Vester-Vov-Vov (1927) and Filmens Helte (1928). The theoretical framework that is utilized in this thesis comes from ideological criticism as well as the concept of representation in film. The method used is textual analysis. The historiographical significance of the thesis fits into the broadly social approach to the s
Around 20% of all people worldwide (1.5 billion) do not have an official and legally recognized document as proof of their identity. This affect, for example, their right to vote, to open a bank account, obtain formal employment or seek legal compensation. In other words, their lack of proof for their legal existence excludes them from participating in society on all various levels. This was ackno
Lipase is one of the most useful enzymes in food industry, which can catalyze the hydrolysis and the synthesis of esters. However, the high cost due to the poor operation stability of lipase hinders the wide use of it. In present research, the stability of lipases in aqueous systems has been thoroughly studied, while research on lipases in non-aqueous systems is limited. In this work, the secondar
Introduction: Superfruits have been promoted as nutrient-rich food that can improve your health, however, many scientists argue that the validation of the term is based on exaggeration of the limited studies that are available. Background: The chemical composition of a food is complex and there are many substances that can affect the human body. One such group of substances are fatty acids (FAs),
Studiens målsättning har varit att ur ett energibesparingsperspektiv samt ekonomiskt perspektiv utvärdera termostatiska cirkulationsventiler (termiska ventiler) som används i varmvattencirkulation (VVC). De frågeställningar som belystes i studien var hur värmeförluster från VVC med termiska respektive fasta ventiler varierar, om det är ekonomiskt lönsamt att installera termiska ventiler jämfört meThe study's objective was, from an energy-saving and economical perspective, evaluate thermostatic circulation valves (thermal valves) used in hot water circulation (HWC). The issues that have been highlighted in the study were how the heat losses from HWC with thermal valves varies from HWC with fixed valves, whether it is economically viable to install thermal valves compared to fixed valves
Efterfrågan på nybyggnation och behovet av infrastruktursatsningar är en ständig och stor uppgift som kommuner och andra myndigheter arbetar med. Stora krav ställs på att samhällsplaneringen ska ske utifrån ett långsiktigt hållbart perspektiv. Att intensiva och omfattande regn har blivit allt vanligare på senare tid resulterar i att samhällsplaneringen måste anpassas därefter, och flödesanalyser oThe government and municipalities of Sweden are responsible for the huge task of meeting the need of constructional and infrastructural investments. While planning and managing the land they are required to do so with long term perspectives. As intense and voluminous downpours have become common lately, the city planning and land management have to be adapted to this, which leads to flow analyses
With the evolution of cartography from hand-drawn to digital maps, the task of icon placement has become increasingly complex. Nowadays there is a need to automate this process to produce high quality results in less time. This study aimed to optimize icon placement on city wayfinding maps, addressing challenges of placing icons in high-density areas and maintaining a strong association between ic
The decline of bees, such as bumblebees, over the last decades raises concerns as they are key pollinators in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. One proposed cause for the decline of wild bees is competition for food resources with managed honeybees. Detrimental effects of competition can result where co-existing species exhibit a high degree of shared resource use (i.e., niche overlap). Th

Home based work is considered as work with low economic value and low waged. The Home base work is also preserved to be a principal way to earn a living for women. The traditional home based works for instance thread making, weaving, dairying, basket making etc., were such kind of work which carried out at home, still exists particularly in developing countries. Since a huge number of home base wo
Last few years, services such as Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) and Voice over Internet Protocol (ValP) have been in focus. Network operators see a huge potential in streaming real-time media over IP-networks and this lays the ground for so called paid services such as Video on Demand (VOD) as well as free services like YouThbe and SVT Play. IPTV delivers content over a closed infrastructure
The Chinese stock market has been established for more than 20 years. Although it is not as mature as the highly developed western securities markets, it has a huge influence on the global economy. It is significant to study the risks of the Chinese stock market, especially the risk of stock indexes. Affected by the economic globalization today, more and more financial derivatives and financial i
With a mission to reduce the dependency of fossil-based plastics, the collaboration company to this master thesis project has developed and patented a technology that enables plastic production from wood fibers. The fibers of the company have been chemically treated in order to be more “plastic like” and thereby easier to mix and disperse with conventional or biobased plastics, to create a granula
The impact that anthropogenic micropollutants have on the environment is increasingly gaining attention. As a result of this, Sweden, among other countries, is looking towards implementing advanced treatment for micropollutant and pharmaceutical product removal from wastewater prior to discharge into the environment. The leading method to achieve this is ozonation, which unfortunately also creates
Background Depressive disorders, specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), is predicted to become the leading cause of disease burden worldwide by 2030. In the United States, MDD is already the leading cause of disability. Yet, less than 50 percent of US adults diagnosed with a mental disorder seek treatment, often due to lack of health coverage or affordability. In 2014, the Affordable Care A
During the last decades, increased concentrations of natural organic matter (NOM) and colour of surface waters have been reported from northern Europe and North America. Since surface waters are widely used for drinking water production this development has been problematic for drinking water producers. Even though NOM in itself is not harmful, it can cause production of undesirable disinfection b
