Mixtures of methanol and acetate as carbon source were investigated in order to determine their capacity to enhance denitrification and for analysis of the microbial composition and carbon degradation activity in activated sludge from wastewater treatment plants. Laboratory batch reactors at 20 degrees C were used for nitrate uptake rate (NUR) measurements in order to investigate the anoxic activi
Located all around Sweden there are firing exercise areas with areas containing UXO (Unexploded ordnance) from years of exercise drills. This study aimed to nvestigate the risk when UXO are exposed to wildland fire at one of their locations, namely Skillingaryd’s firing exercise area. The study was conducted with an initial literature study with the purpose to check what had been done before. The
The case company endeavors to be fossil free by 2030. In order to achieve that objective, the current packaging solution for kitchen and laundry appliances containing EPS plastic must be replaced with a packaging built on only fiber-based materials. This master thesis is focusing on identifying the packaging requirements for a replacement and how these requirements influence the packaging material
Inside the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SNBIC) are juveniles who are receiving treatment from pedagogues and assistants that are frequently threatening their caregivers. The threats consist of physical and verbal behavior. This type of working environment can be very bad for one's well being. The study focuses on investigating how the staff's well-being is affected by work
We have done a study concerning young women, in the ages of 20 to 30, and their thoughts about, consumption of, and habits regarding alcohol. The study is the base of our essay which has been done during the last ten weeks of the sixth semester (of seven) for the Bachelor degree of Social Work Science at Socialhögskolan in Lund. The study is built around five themes found in the essays purpose. El
The purpose of the study is to investigate how much interest media has shown selected topics in the corporate governance systems in Germany and Sweden. The four selected aspects are: ownership structure, employee representation on the boards, disclosure of board members’ compensation and female directors on the boards. The reasons for and consequences of the similarities and differences will also
The way society categorize different people into groups is problematic in the sense that the categorization can seem stigmatizing and have social consequences for those being categorized. Immigrants are one of those problematic categories. The following essay studies this categorization of ?immigrants? based on a governmental investigation of structural discrimination that took place in 2002-2008
The aim of this study was twofolded; on one hand I have been studying how the social services and the women’s crisis center work to contribute to assaulted women’s need of support and protection, while on the other hand I have been analyzing how discursive categories from the group of women addicted to alcohol is being made by professionals. The reason for this purpose was that I would like to see
The present study investigates whether tumor:normal tissue uptake ratios of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can be further improved by a combination of extracorporeal immunoadsorption (ECIA) and preload with unlabeled idiotypic monoclonal antibody. Athymic rats, heterotransplanted with human lung carcinoma under the kidney capsule (SR tumor) and i.m. (IM tumor), were divided into four study gro
Cost-of-illness studies have shown diabetes to be associated with substantial direct and indirect costs, accounting for 5-6 percent of total health care expenditure. In a Swedish study, where total costs were divided into costs due to management of diabetes and costs due to complications, the total annual cost to the community was estimated to be SEK 5.7 billion in 1994, costs due to complications
Adolescence is a period when teens normally revolt against being dependent. For teens with asthma this period may be even more difficult to deal with, as they also have to deal with their illness. Since few studies describe this phenomenon, the aim of this study was to provide a theoretical understanding of how teens with asthma manage their everyday life in relation to their disease. A grounded t
Proteomics studies rely on high-resolving separation techniques whereby the biological complexity can be unraveled. Both gel-based and liquid-phase separation principles are needed in order to mine deeper into the low abundant area of the proteins expressed in human cell samples. The expression levels that can be reached today with proteomics technology are still only reaching part of all proteins
