Reningsverk är en källa till mikroplast Det finns stora osäkerheter kring mikroplaster och hur de påverkar och påverkas av miljön de uppträder i. Dock vet vi idag att mikroplaster är vitt spridda; de har inte bara hittats i städer och bebyggda områden utan även vid polerna och i de djupaste haven. I den här studien konstateras reningsverk vara en betydande källa till mikroplast som sedan kan sprMicroplastics are found in many different environments and they constitute a growing environmental problem. Although the studies into the subject are numerous, there are still several gaps in understanding the nature of the problem. There has been an increasing focus on microplastics from environmental protection agency’s around the world to identify the sources and pathways for the pollution, and

While urban areas are predicted to expand due to population growth, new approaches towards smart solutions in urban infrastructure and transportation are on the rise. With access to new technology, data has been given much attention from municipalities and decision makers. This thesis is interested in how the public sector will utilize the untapped potential of data collection, and what effects th

Purpose - The collection-delivery points in Sweden are the main delivery method and facilitates a growing volume of parcel deliveries from e-commerce. As the model has been implemented on such scale in the country, the negative externalities previously outlined in the literature can get magnified in the context of the Swedish consumers. It is important to gain a deeper understanding on every aspec

Denna studie utgår från två miljökampanjer som skapats med grund i Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model”, som kortfattat menar på att vi kan processa ett meddelande på antingen ett s.k perifert- eller centralt plan. Utifrån detta har vi skapat två kampanjbilder med fokus på miljöproblem, där den ena innehåller perifera- och den andra centrala budskap. Dessa användes för att uThis study stems from two environmental campaigns which have been created with Cacioppo & Pettys (1984) “Elaboration likelihood model” as a foundation, which in summary says that we can process a message through a peripheral- or central mindset. Using this as a starting point, we created two campaigns that focus on environmental issues, one contains peripheral- and the other central cues. In o

Thesis purpose: In order to contribute to Consumer Culture Theory, as well as critical dimensions in the foodie literature namely authenticity, democracy/distinction and gender, the study’s aim is to explore how discourses and socio-cultural meanings underlie identity constructions in the specific sourdough culture. Theoretical framework: As no research addresses the sourdough phenomenon directly

Arbetet med att identifiera och inventera förorenade områden är en del av Sveriges miljökvalitetsmål. Regeringen har fastställt 16 mål, och ett av dessa är Giftfri miljö. För att våra kommande generationer ska få leva i en miljö fri från föroreningar behöver vi städa upp efter nuvarande och tidigare farliga utsläpp. Landets länsstyrelser har fått i uppdrag av Regeringen att genomföra identifieringThe process of identifying and inventorying polluted areas is part of The Environmental Objectives in Sweden. The government has put down 16 objectives, and one of these is A Non-Toxic Environment. To ensure that our future generations will live in an environment free from pollution, we need to clean up after current and former hazardous emissions. All of Sweden’s Länsstyrelser have been commissio

“As long as it does not hurt anybody” - The treatment of sexual behaviors of people with dementia in dementia care facilities The aim of this study was to examine how sexual behaviors in dementia accommodations are treated by medical staff. We were interested in seeing what attitude the staff had to sexual behaviors in dementia care facilities, how they talked about sexuality, and if some sexual

Purpose: This study aims at researching how the ethical issues raised by big data practices can be used to motivate internal CSR actions based on stakeholder engagement. Methodology: The study applies a qualitative approach based on a participant observation while the authors were doing an Internship in the innovation department at Aller Media A/S. A set of semi-structured interviews with employee

The fashion systems flat contours : a study of the digital society’s impact on the development of the fashion system. Through the digitalization process social media like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and blogs have emerged. These social media's function is to act as arenas of human interaction and social life. This thesis aims to analyze how the social media impacts the fashion system. Today&#

This study is an attempt to take advantage of a cerebellar model to control a biomimetic arm. Aware that a variety of cerebellar models with different levels of details has been developed, we focused on a high-level model called MOSAIC. This model is thought to be able to describe the cerebellar functionality without getting into the details of the neural circuitry. To understand where this model

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

By observing a horse´s shape and movement you can get information about signs of disease. From a veterinary perspective the progression of new scientific methods and technological advances towards the field of equine motion and shape analysis may help with diagnosis, early detection of diseases, improving the chances of successful treatment and thereby offer overall benefits to the welfare of hors

The ability of a cell to respond to mechanical cues from its external environment is vital for many important cellular processes including directed cell migration, which drives embryogenesis, wound healing and is also a key factor in many diseases such as fibrosis, atherosclerosis and during cancer metastasis. The primary mechanism by which a cell senses and responds to changing mechanical cues fr

Prosodic cues such as stress and tones can help listeners predict upcoming structures and get a first crack at rapidly unfolding speech. The prosodic feature stød in Danish can distinguish word meanings but also signal imminent structures. For instance, monosyllabic nouns with stød lose stød when followed by the plural indefinite suffix -e. Suffixes invalidly cued by stød or non-stød have been fou

Chapter 1 defines the aim of the project and gives a general orientation about ground heat extractors. In chapter 2 physical processes that could be expected to be involved in the heat transport around a ground heat exchanger are discussed. It is shown from a literature study what amount of moisture transport due to thermal gradients there could be expected in a ground heat exchanger. The conclusi

Climate change leads to rapid, differential changes in phenology across trophic levels, often resulting in temporal mismatches between predators and their prey. If a species cannot easily adjust its timing, it can adapt by choosing a new breeding location with a later phenology of its prey. In this study, we experimentally investigated whether long-distance dispersal to northern breeding grounds w

Popular Abstract in Swedish Intresset för evidens-baserad vård växer snabbt men trots att nya forskningsresultat produceras och publiceras löpande, tar det lång tid innan de får genomslag i den vård som erbjuds patienter och brukare.
