Since the 1950s, no other material has been developed and used to the same extent as plastic. We have built up a society that has integrated plastics into virtually every aspect of our lives. With low material prices, cheap manufacturing methods and its versatility, plastic has quickly become a commodity in society that is consumed in an unsustainable way. Plastic pollution causes immense social,
Detta examensarbete var en del i ett forskningsprojekt som utfördes vid avdelningen för maskinkonstruktion vid Lunds tekniska högskola och gick ut på att studera hur metodiken kring produktutveckling används hos ett antal företag i praktiken och jämföra detta med metodiken från litteraturen och det som lärs ut vid Lunds tekniska högskola, för att identifiera brister i modellerna och fungera som etThis Master´s Thesis is part of a larger research project carried out at the Division of Machine Design, Department of Design Science, LTH, and is about studying the product development methodologies applied in the industry and compare these to the methodologies described in the literature and taught at LTH. The first part of the assignment consisted in studying the existing methodologies about pr
The study aims to investigate whether diversity can affect people's social intelligence. The study has been conducted with an experimental design, where two experimental groups were primed with a text describing a workplace with a high degree of diversity respectively non-diversity. A control-group read a neutral text. The texts were followed by the self-assessment test Tromsö Social Intellige
The aim of this report was to study possibilities of making the process of extracting lignin from black liquor at pulp and paper mills more efficient in the form of a literature study. Lignin is a commodity that is likely to become more valuable in the future due to work being done by a number of companies in utilizing it as for example a base for the production of renewable fuels and carbon fibre
As migrations from within and outside of Europe continue to increase steadily, particularly in the Mediterranean region, the integration of immigrant populations is one of the most pressing issues faced by many European countries. Although there is significant research on immigrant integration in urban areas, the settlement and integration of immigrants in rural areas is largely understudied, even
Introduction: To remain competitive, industrial organisations are continually faced with the challenges to improve product quality, reduce product development time, reduce production costs and lead-times. Increasingly, these challenges cannot be effectively met by isolated changes to specific organizational units. The Supply Chainis a revolutionary concept embedded in a traditional guise. In b
The proportion of meals the Europeans eat outside their home steadily increases. We take coffee breaks at work, eat lunch in the office canteen, we order take-away, we go to cafés or pubs to spend time with our friends, we easily grab a snack in vending machines and we eat on airplanes and trains to just mention a few examples. Eating out is nowadays more of an everyday activity than a luxury even
The complexity and dynamicity of microservice architectures in cloud environments present substantial challenges to the reliability and availability of the services built on these architectures. Therefore, effective anomaly detection is crucial to prevent impending failures and resolve them promptly.

Mauritius is an African growth miracle when evaluated against traditional economic theory on how to achieve sustained growth and structural transformation. Mauritius has also been recognized for its commitment to human development. Still, gendered inequalities in the labour market remain.Garment manufacturing significantly contributed to raising women’s labour force participation in Mauritius’s po

Intermittently incubating birds alternate between sessions of egg warming and recesses for foraging during the day, but stay on the nest continuously at night. Hence, energy costs of nocturnal incubation (which increase during longer and colder nights) cannot be replenished until the next day. Night conditions might therefore be expected to affect morning incubation behaviour the day after.

Bipolaris sorokiniana is the causal agent of multiple diseases on wheat and barley and is the primary constraint to cereal production throughout South Asia. Despite its significance, the molecular basis of disease is poorly understood. To address this, the genomes of three Australian isolates of B. sorokiniana were sequenced and screened for known pathogenicity genes.

This study examines how financial market uncertainty in North America, measured by the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), affects Eurozone bond markets. The purpose is to analyze the dynamic relationship between the VIX to both government and corporate bonds across different credit ratings, and to assess whether these relationships differ when the bonds are measured as yield-to-maturity (YTM) or option-

African food security has become an increasing concern during the last decade. Reports are regularly appearing about famine and hunger in countries south of the Sahara. Pessimism is widespread about the possibilities for the continent to feed its growing population. Until recently, optimism about Asian development on the other hand seemed boundless, and Asia is considered the emerging centre of th

Sveriges självbild som länge varit lyckligt befriad från svågerpolitik, maktmissbruk och pengar under bordet har under det senaste decenniet fått sig en törn. Stora svarta rubriker på löpsedlar har uppmärksammat oss på att korruption och mutor även förekommer i vårt trygga demokratiska samhälle. För att på ett effektivt sätt komma åt detta krävs ett fungerande regelverk, något som haltar då det koThe Swedish Bribery Legislation in use today was written in 1977 and is consequently neither completely modern nor crystal clear. There are no legal definitions on what constitutes a bribe or what is giving rise to corruption and the verdicts are instead made on a case by case basis. The Swedish Bribery Legislation has over the years received a lot of criticism as it is seen as unpredictable and d
