Plastic pollution is a severe global problem and every year approximately 368 million tons of plastic is produced. Both terrestrial and marine environments are impacted and hundreds of species affected. Marine plastic debris accounts for a weight of 268 940 tons and affects hundreds of marine species through habitat degradation, entanglement and ingestion. Microplastics (MPs) are a type of plastic
On 15 April 2025, the Conseil d’État (French Supreme Tax Court), for the first time, referred preliminary questions to the CJEU to determine whether the Marks & Spencer exception can apply within the French tax consolidation regime. This unprecedented referral follows years of internal divergences over the scope of a case law principle that is both central and controversial: the right, under c
In this master thesis computational fluid dynamic simulations of two plate heat exchanger channels have been performed in Ansys CFX. The full geometry of the channels has not been included, the channels were modeled with a flat geometry instead of a corrugated pattern. To account for the effect of the corrugation on the pressure drop, one-time pressure losses and momentum sources were added in the
Background: Omni-channel retailing has led to customers becoming more demanding and less tolerant than before. For instance, customers are demanding shorter delivery times, and higher precision in deliveries. Unless retailers adapt to an omni-channel approach today, their business is likely to suffer. To do so, more efficient planning of the supply chain is necessary. The first step of the plannin
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka förekomsten och graden av alexitymi och dess samband med kvalitet i nära relationer och psykisk ohälsa i en allmänpsykiatrisk population. Studien genomfördes på en allmänpsykiatrisk mottagning för vuxna under två veckors tid med ett konsekutivt urval där patienterna vid ett ordinarie besök ombads besvara ett enkätmaterial. Statistikprogrammet SPSS användesThe aim of this study was to investigate the incidence and degree of alexitymia and its correlation with quality in close relationships and health distress in a general outpatient population. The study was performed in a general outpatient care unit for two weeks with a consecutive selection where the patients, during an ordinary visit, was asked to participate and complete questionnaires assessin
The objective of this bachelor thesis is to assess the safe haven property of Bitcoin by conducting an augmented Dickey-Fuller test and Engle and Granger cointegration test with price data from the COVID-19 crash. The analysis revealed a cointegration relationship between Bitcoin and the S&P 500, indicating a long-run equilibrium between the two and thus providing evidence against the safe hav

With urbanization people are traveling and settling closer and closer to bigger cities, where all the economical, social and work opportunities are the most. But where are these people coming from? Rural areas in Europe cover around 80% of the land area together, but only 30% of EU’s population lives in rural areas. Mainly people settling in cities are from smaller settlements leaving their orig
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
Eventuella beteendemässiga konsekvenser av pornografianvändande har undersökts flitigt under de senaste decennierna. Forskningen har dock inte inkorporerat kontextuella aspekter av pornografianvändande eller intresserat sig för möjliga samband med användarnas egen sexualitet. Denna studies första syfte var att undersöka pornografianvändande i en icke-klinisk population av 16- till 30-åringar i Sve
Climate changes have had marked impacts on the natural systems. However its impact will be significant with the hydrological cycle. It is agreed that climate change have adverse impacts on socio-economic development of all nations. But, it is expected that its impact will hit developing countries the worst. The objective of this thesis is to assess the impact of climate change on Gilgel Abay River
