In a circular economy all materials and resources should be used for as long as possible, therefore waste management is a crucial part. This study aims to map the reasons behind how people chose to handle things they no longer want. By con- ducting interviews with 91 respondents at the two recycling centres in Lund; Gastelyckan and Gunnesbo, some general reasons were discovered. By interview- ing
The gas turbine has been around for over a century, providing power for a variety of applications. The efficiency, i.e. the amount of power produced per kilogram of fuel provided, has increased steadily over the years and is today greater than 44 percent in a state of the art gas turbine. For electricity production the efficiency can be increased further by combining the gas turbine with a steam t

Highly glazed spaces are continuously increasing in popularity due to architectural attractiveness. However, increased use of glass often jeopardizes thermal comfort in several ways and problem of overheating is one of them. A way to face this problem is to appropriately use solar control mechanisms. However, a proper selection of solar control mechanisms from an early design stage is a complex ta
This bachelor thesis studies the syntactic structures in four textbooks in German as a foreign language used in the Swedish upper secondary school (the gymnasium). The aim of the study is to test whether the German syntax is presented in such a way that it becomes optimally processable for learners. Research on grammatical developmental stages has shown that learners of a language acquire grammati
Around half of the world population live within urban areas and is expected increase to encompass 60% by 2030. As the human population increases, cities are forced to densify or expand onto surrounding land, leaving less space for communal green space that supply the urban residents with vital ecosystem services. A resource of green space that thus far hasn’t been explored is private domestic gard
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder of the brain which is hallmarked by the presence of large protein-rich cytoplasmic aggregates, called Lewy bodies (LBs), in the neurons. The protein α-synuclein (α-syn) is abundant in these aggregates, and can itself form aggregates. Several mutations linked to α-syn are also linked to an increased risk of contracting PD. In healthy neurons, the chap
Natten mot 24 april 1915 arresterades 250 armeniska politiker, poeter, författare, läkare, jurister och andra intellektuella och de flesta avrättades inom loppet av 72 timmar. Detta blev startskottet för ett folkmord som fram till 1923 skördade 1,5 miljoner armeniers liv och hundratals assyriers, syrianers, kaldéers och grekers. Folkmordet 1915 i det Osmanska riket är idag det mest utforskade fallOn the night of April 24, 1915, 250 Armenian politicians, poets, writers, doctors, lawyers and other intellectuals were arrested, most of them executed within 72 hours. This was the starting point of a genocide that until 1923 claimed the lives of 1.5 million Armenians and hundreds of Assyrians, Syrians, Chaldeans and Greeks. The Arme-nian genocide in the Ottoman Empire is today the most researche
För att upprätthålla funktionen inom Europeiska unionens inre marknad erfordras att det råder en fungerande konkurrens. Det är ett av de många syftena bakom unionens konkurrensrätt. Koncentrationsförordningen utgör i sammanhanget en förhandskontroll, och föreskriver att företagskoncentrationer över en viss storlek måste förhandsanmälans till Europeiska kommissionen för granskning, med möjlighet atIn order to maintain the function within the European Union internal market it is required that there be a functioning competition. It is one of the many purposes behind the Union's competition law. In this regard, the merger regulation constitutes an ex ante control. Furthermore, it stipulates that concentrations between undertakings above a certain size must be notified in advance to the Eur

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, increasing yearly. However, many abnormalities in heart cycles can be discovered and treated years before the onset of diseases. But in most societies, regular health checkups are a concept reserved for cars, not humans. In order to save lives, our healthcare systems must adopt a preventative rather than a reactive approach. To that
The purpose of this study was to get a better understanding of sex as self-injury in the form of prostitution among young women. With a better understanding of this subject, hopefully, signs pointing at sex as self-injury can be identified earlier, which could lead to increased identification of women who live with these behaviors. Thus more preventive work can take place where professionals can c

Bark beetle attacks have led to widespread tree disturbance and deaths in many parts of the world, and thereby also economic and biodiversity losses. Forest-rich Sweden has experienced periodic attacks, latest in 2018. There is a great interest in identifying the most important explanatory features behind bark beetle attacks and making spatial predictions on where attacks might happen. This could
Stiftelsen skiljer sig från associationer på så sätt att den är en självägande förmögenhet bunden till ett specifikt ändamål som i princip inte kan ändras. Ändamålet kan vara allt från att stödja ett forskningsområde till att gynna medlemmar av en specifik familj. Vissa stiftelser är också begränsat skattskyldiga. I praxis framgår att fåmansföretagsstrukturer använt stiftelsen för dessa särdrag, oFoundations differ from other legal entities in a few different ways. Foundations can be described as a self-owned equity, which is tied to a specific purpose that in principle can not be changed. The purpose can be anything from supporting a field of research, to benefiting members of a specific family. In addition, some foundations are subject to limited tax liability. When examining verdicts on
I svensk rätt tillämpas asperationsprincipen vid straffvärdebedömning av flerfaldig brottslighet. Vid flerfaldig brottslighet ska ett gemensamt straffvärde bestämmas och domstolen utgår från det allvarligaste brottets straffvärde och de övriga gärningarnas straffvärden reduceras i en fallande skala. Detta system har mött kritik i form av att påföljderna vid flerfaldig brottslighet blir för milda iIn Swedish law, the principle of asperation is applied when estimating the penal value for multiple offences. In the case of multiple offences, a common penal value is determined and the court starts from the most serious offence, with the penal value of the other offences being reduced on a descending scale. This system has been criticized for making penalties for multiple offences too lenient in
Det straffrättsliga regelverket för lagöverträdare i åldersgruppen 18-20 år, så kallade unga myndiga lagöverträdare, genomgick vid årsskiftet stora förändringar. Under flera sekel var unga myndiga lagöverträdare i Sverige föremål för straffrättslig särbehandling i form av en ungdomsreduktion. Den tidigare regleringen innebar att för brott någon begått innan han eller hon fyllt 21 år skulle dennes Criminal law regarding offenders in the age group 18 to 20 years old, so called juvenile offenders, was changed extensively at the turn of the year. For a long time, Swedish juvenile offenders were subject to differential treatment due to their age, in the form of a reduced sentencing. Previous legislation meant that crimes committed before the age of 21 was to take the offender's young age in
Den 27 april 2022 röstade riksdagen ja till att införa ett nytt brott i Brottsbalken, hedersförtryck; detta som ett led i att bekämpa hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck med kraft. Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck kan föras tillbaka på kollektivt betingade hedersnormer, på grund av vilka individer riskerar att bestraffas om normerna ifråga inte efterlevs. Den springande punkten är kontextuella idéeOn the 27th of April 2022, the Swedish parliament voted in favour of introducing a new criminal offence in The Swedish Penal Code, called ‘honour-related oppression’ (sw. hedersförtryck). This action was taken as a part of a larger initiative to combat honour-related violence and oppression. Honour-related violence and oppression can be traced back to collectively conditioned honour norms, in whic
