An important factor in preventing food waste is the ability to provide a product with a package according to its needs. The packaging material, in turn, needs to be recyclable in order to contribute to a circular use of materials rather than becoming waste. The aim of this thesis is to examine the difference between the current and future packaging material of coffee produced by Zoégas. The curren

Då man producerar cement släpps koldioxid ut från både förbränningen av bränslet och kalcineringen av kalksten för att bilda bränd kalk. En del av koldioxiden, motsvarande den som släpps ut vid kalcineringen, kommer kunna absorberas av den härdade betongen. Denna process kallas karbonatisering och rör sig som en front från betongens yta och inåt. Ett sätt som ibland används för att bygga miljövänlWhen producing cement, carbon dioxide is released from both the combustion of the fuel and the calcination of limestone to form quicklime. Part of this carbon dioxide, corresponding to that released during calcination, can be absorbed by the hardened concrete by a process called carbonation that moves like a front from the surface of the concrete inwards. One way that is sometimes used to build mo

This master’s thesis evaluates the feasibility of using in situ transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study the effects of high temperature heat treatments of a coated soft magnetic composite (SMC) sample. SMCs are an increasingly competitive magnetic powder material which finds use in for instance electric motors. A heat treatment following compaction for SMCs is an essential part of manufact

Historically being a success to the European Union and its integration processes, technical standardisation has been a dormant policy area low down on the European Commission’s agenda priority list – until now. The increasing international competition has arguably spurred the Commission to push for speedy developments in standardisation to establish the EU once again in a leading position, thus ef

The purpose of this study is to find out how assistance officers reason about making decisions about moving to special housing. We pay special attention to the principle of remaining resident, which should guide such decisions. The main focus of this study is to increase understanding and provide a clearer picture of the historical events that have resulted in the success of the remaining residenc

Varje stad har ett industriområde, en gammal fabrik, en nedlagd bensinstation eller möjligtvis en hamn. Man går förbi och tänker att det ser lite tråkigt ut, men något kanske inte alla tänker på är att platsen troligtvis är förorenad. Bara i Sverige finns det 86 000 förorenade mark- eller vattenområden som kan medföra skador för människors hälsa och på miljön. Energihamnen i Göteborg är Sveriges sEnvironmental pollution caused by human activity is one of today's biggest dilemmas. Pollution in air, water and soil can pose risks to human health and the environment and can lead to a reduction in available resources. Investigating and remediating contaminated areas is therefore an important task. In the past 20 years, there have been two major spills of gasoline and diesel at the Energy Po

The purpose of this thesis is to research the relationship between trade unions and far-right parties in Scandinavia. Considering the well established trade unions, the Nordic model, with the rise of support for the far-right, and how their founding ideologies are very different from each other, the region of Scandinavia constitutes a unique area for the relationship between trade unions and far-r

Image registration of X-ray images is used to correctly align the patient before the cancer tumour is treated with sets of high dose X-ray radiation. Before the first treatment, a simulated X-ray image is taken showing the best possible localisation of the tumour. From then on, after each of the radiation treatments of the tumour, a low dose of the X-ray theurapeutic radiation is used to take an i

Developing wind farms is a long and costly task. Assessing the potential of a site is a major part of the development of a wind project. Reanalysis, that are modelling of the wind speed made from scattered wind data across the world (from satellites, weather stations for example), can help to fulfill this step as they are improving their accuracy with each new release. Among them is EMD-WRF, a rea

As the current energy system dependency on fossil fuels continues to perpetuate environmental harms, endangers economic stability and exaggerates international conflicts, there has been a growing momentum for a transition towards more sustainable forms of energies. When it comes to policies that aim towards a shift in energy systems, California has been recognized as one of the flagship regions in

This dissertation intends to examine how the Swedish art world is responding to the exposure of artwork which has been produced using artificial intelligence as a tool. Based on qualitative interviews with curators, who have developed and formed exhibitions of AI-art, this study aims to investigate if an acceptance of such art could occur. In 2019 two of Sweden’s most reputable art institutions,

Äldre anställdas ställning på arbetsmarknaden är onekligen osäker. I detta arbete försöker jag att räta ut och förstå hur äldre arbetstagare är skyddade på arbetsmarknaden genom att undersöka hur gällande rätt är designat. Detta görs genom en komparativ studie mellan Sverige och Kina, där en rad olika undersökningsområden kopplat till anställningsskydd för äldre bearbetas. Arbetet berör och förklaThe status of the elderly on the labour market is undeniably precarious. In this thesis, I am trying to straighten out how the elderly are protected on the labour market and how the legislation to protect them is designed. This is done through a comparative study between Sweden and China, where a number of research areas associated with employment protection for elderly are processed. I am, in thi

Tissue shortage for lung transplantation remains a problem worldwide as lung transplantation is often the only available option with numerous possible complications. Generating lung tissue ex-vivo has been proposed as one way to potentially overcome this shortage. For this, tissue engineering is one potential strategy to either repair, replace or regenerate damaged tissue and organs. In this thesi

Optisk DNA-kartläggning – en metod tillämpad cancerdiagnostik? Akut lymfatisk leukemi (ALL) och akut myeloisk leukemi (AML) är sjukdomar som i hög grad är orsakade av så kallade strukturella variationer i gener. Dessa typer av leukemi är bland de vanligaste cancertyperna som drabbar barn. Det är därför av stort intresse att kunna detektera dessa förändringar för att kunna erbjuda en så bra behandPediatric leukemias are one of the most common types of cancer diagnosed in children. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common form of leukemia in children, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the second most reoccurring type of leukemia in pediatric diagnosis. It has previously been found that structural variations are an important underlying mechanism leading to these diseases. Fluo

Enligt svensk lag föreligger sedan länge äktenskapshinder mot att ingå månggifte och tvegifte är dessutom kriminaliserat. Vidare är det svenska äktenskapet per definition monogamt. Makar ska även vara jämställda och behandlas lika. Det finns länder som tillåter månggiften av ekonomiska och sociala skäl. Bland utländska månggiften som figurerar i Sverige har många ingåtts enligt rättsordningar som In Swedish law, polygamy has been both criminalized and considered an impediment of marriage for a long time. Monogamy, as well as gender equality and equality in general, are fundamental principles in Swedish family law. Polygamous marriages are legal in certain other states due to being considered favorable for both economic and social reasons. Many foreign polygamous marriages that figure in Sw

Statistisk Analys och Modellering av ”Fuktsinnet”- Insekternas Sjätte Sinne Statistisk analys och modellering av bananflugors rörelse med syftet att undersöka hur de reagerar på fukt. Arbetet visar hur flugors beteende kan undersökas genom att analysera deras rörelse och hur skillnader i beteende kan simuleras med en statistisk modell. Sjätte sinnet finns i verkligheten, men hos insekter. De harAnimals are impacted by the humidity of their surrounding environment, it affects their ability of thermoregulation, water retention and their overall well-being. For small insects the effects of the surrounding humidity is even more important as they have a limited water storage which depletes faster in a drier environment. Some insects such as the vinegar fly Drosophila melanogaster have develop

Systemet med lekmän i domstol har funnits med under större delen av det svenska rättssystemets framväxt. Nämndemännens roll har däremot förändrats under åren. Sedan 1983 har nämndemännen individuell rösträtt och är i det avseendet jämställda med den lagfarna domaren. Motivet till att ha outbildade domare är att de anses garantera att det i domstolarna fattar beslut som ligger i linje med medborgarLay judges have long played an important role in Sweden's judiciary system, but their role has evolved over time. Since 1983, both lay and legal judges have had individual votes, resulting in equal levels of influence pertaining to judgments. The argument for including lay judges in this process is to ensure that the opinion of Sweden's citizens is not overlooked. Moreover, it results in g
