Purpose - Food lost or wasted constitutes a substantial environmental, economic and social problem; today roughly one-third of edible parts of food that is produced for human consumption globally gets lost or wasted. Thus, a reduction of waste would contribute to a sustainable use of resources. It has been highlighted that packaging development has the potential to play an important role in this p
Large quantities and numbers of organic compounds (OCs) from industries and domestic sources enter the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) everyday, which is an ever-increasing issue in modern society. In WWTPs, the pollutants are either degraded or emitted to the air, the effluent (water) or the sludge (biosolids). Even though the sludge may contain toxic contaminants and heavy metals, there is a
The purpose with our essay was to increase our knowledge about what social workers, with experience from working with drug addicts, perceive as the explanations to a person stopping the abuse and succeed in staying drug free. Our framing of the question was: - How do social workers define the term drug free? - How big a roll do the social worker believes she/he has in the process in which a pers
The main argument of the thesis is that multinational companies (MNCs) can promote democracy through corporate social responsibility (CSR). MNCs hold some prerequisites giving them the means to create positive changes. But they lack one important prerequisite: knowledge about local conditions. Therefore the best CSR result is reached through partnerships with local NGOs. H&M's CSR-work in
Merger and acquisition deals are one of the most important events corporations engage in. After completing mergers the most essential task for executives would be maintaining joint revenue growth in order to provide the deal’s success. So, customers’ reaction to M&As is a crucial factor for the achievement of goals through M&A. The main purpose of this thesis is to study how customers reac
This thesis provides an analysis of the embodied experience in Olafur Eliasson’s installations Your blind passenger (2010) and Your negotiable panorama (2006). The empirical material was observed in 2011 at ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Ishøj, Denmark, where the two installations were located at the time. The author argues that the experience of a work of art is done through the beholder’s entire b
I centrum för denna studie står författarens utveckling av det övre sångliga tonomfånget. I det här sammanhanget innebär det toner från den tvåstrukna oktaven och uppåt. Utgångspunkten för arbetet är bland annat författarens egna sångtekniska problem och tidigare erfarenheter. Därför bygger studien på aktionsforskning där författaren undersöker sitt eget arbete med höga toner i samråd med Anna-LenThis study aims to show the problem of getting a desirable upper tone range. In this context, it means tones from the two-line octave and upwards. The starting point for the work is the author's own singing problems and previous experiences. Therefore, the study is based on action research where the author examines her own practice with high tones, under the instruction of Anna-Lena Tideman, a
The purpose of this thesis is to create an additional critique of academic publishing through the lens of black open access – illicit measures for access to academic documents. This is done primarily through the process of qualitative interviews with librarians and PhD-students active at two Swedish universites. The thesis also includes a minor statistical case study aiming to show the usage of th
The population of the world is growing larger and getting older. This growth is causing an increased load on the current healthcare system, thus lowering the standard of healthcare. One group, specially affected by this, is the elderly and their homecare service and retirement homes. To unburden these services, safety alarms were created. However, these are in much need of design, ergonomic and te
Many driving schools request cheap, safe alternatives to driving lessons. Some VR (Virtual Reality) car simulators already exist today, but they are either too expensive or not adapted to the Swedish trac system. The purpose of this master thesis has been to investigate whether a virtual environment can be realistic enough for a driving school student to actually benet from using it. To answer the
Investments in risk reduction are very complex with many factors that affect the overall profitability of the investment. Therefore, different models and approaches are used in the decision making process. An analysis of the problem is then made according to certain basic rules. When the risk situation is evaluated in this manner the decisions that are made are rational and consistent. By using th
This paper aims to examine the processes and impact of welfare state retrenchment on state-society relations in post-Soviet Uzbekistan and how community-based welfare structures have evolved to respond to declining social welfare services, acting as an informal welfare structure given the failure of existing regime to address the structural inequalities and market defects during the transition per
Integration of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources such as wind and solar into the grid is challenging due to the stochastic nature of energy sources. Hence, electrical hubs (EH) and virtual power plants that combine non-dispatchable energy sources, energy storage and dispatchable energy sources such as internal combustion generators and micro gas turbines are getting popular. However, desig
Fouling is a constant challenge in membrane-based technologies. As conventional fouling monitoring and control methods are often based on process performance or product quality, they might reveal fouling so late that it has already damaged the membrane in severe and non-reversible way. Thus, surface sensitive online monitoring techniques capable of providing early warning capacity and information
The rapid expansion of the university sector has channelled many students into study programs that lead to employment in new kinds of jobs, occupations and professional groups. There are three main reasons why more and more occupations get their training within the university system (a) The qualification and competence level of the labour force has been raised, due to changes in the economy and to
With roots in social psychology, second language (L2) motivation has largely been investigated using self-report techniques. Studies drawing on observational data gathered in contexts where learning takes place are rare, and understandings of how motivation evolves in classroom interactions remain limited (Boo, Dörnyei, & Ryan, 2015). In a position paper in Language Teaching, Ushioda (2016) ma
