Genbanker har existerat i en eller annan form i årtusenden. De tjänar som bevaring för biologiskt material. Formerna genbanker kan ta skiftar; De kan vara en botanisk trädgård, ett akvarium, eller ett laboratorie med frysarna fulla av genetiskt material. Ibland kan det röra sig om vävnadsprover, frön, eller DNA, Avsikten är att bevara, även om anledningarna kan vara olika. Det finns många likheterGene banks have in one form or another existed for thousands of years. They serve the purpose of repository for biological material. They can take the shape of a botanical garden, of an aquarium, or as a laboratory where the freezers are stuffed full with genetic resources. Sometimes as tissue samples or seeds, and sometimes as strands of DNA. The intention is to preserve, although the reasons may

Delivery of goods at the port of discharge is an obligation incurred upon the carrier under a contract of carriage by sea. The extent of the carrier’s obligation is to give the consignee a reasonable time to take proper delivery of the goods against presentation of an original B/L.

This essay provides an analysis of the relation between the value added tax (VAT) and the size of the informal sector in Africa. The proposed hypothesis is that due to incentive mechanisms provided by VAT, tax evasion, and hence the size of the informal sector, should decrease when VAT replaces other standard consumption taxes, primarily the retail sales tax (RST) and the turnover tax (TOT). The

In one year water research project in Borensberg Waterworks, Motala, Sweden, water quality with respect to microscopic particle accounts both in raw water and drinking water were monitored by Predect’s Online Water Quality Monitoring System. Microscopic particle counts were documented with normalized value in real-time by P-100 for raw water and P-300 for pure water. This report aimed to evaluate

Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur EU-rätten påverkar den svenska arbetsrättsliga modellen, särskilt arbetsgivarens generella informationsplikt och om Sverige har levt upp till de krav som EU-rätten ställer vid införlivandet av direktiv 2002/14/EG om införlivande av allmän ram för information till och samråd med i Europeiska gemenskapen, gällande nationella förhållanden.

Micropollutants in our sources of freshwater is an issue which requires immediate attention. The presence of pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupting agents, pesticides and other harmful compounds have proven to have impact on the aquatic as well as on human life. Treated wastewater being a major source of ingress of micropollutants into the aquatic environment, the current standards do not stipulate

This master’s thesis is about public libraries and how the work they do for children and youth in the summer holidays relates to public policy and reading research. Triangulation of methods is used with literature review, policy analysis, questionnaire survey and interviews. My primary theoretical framework is Carol Bacchi’s ’What’s the problem represented to be’ (WPR) approach, which is also us

Entrepreneurs face challenging work-related stressors inherent to their occupation. Prolonged exposure to such stressors can have negative consequences on well-being and job satisfaction, which highlights the need for recovery from work-related stressors. This thesis focuses on psychological detachment (PD) as an impactful recovery process. Due to the characteristics of the entrepreneurial profess

In the mountainous regions of Bhutan and Nepal, post-harvest losses cause significant challenges for producers. Open air sun drying is usually used by farmers to preserve their produce. There are many disadvantages to this method. The Swedish Research Council is supporting a project called Solar Food: Reducing Post-Harvest Losses Through Improved Solar Drying, which aims to create a low-cost solar

Bostads- och servicesektorn utgör 40 procent av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Endast småhus står för drygt 8 procent. Energin som används i småhus går i huvudsak till uppvärmning och varmvatten. 2020 var direktverkande el den vanligaste energikällan för uppvärmning av småhus (Energimyndigheten 2022). Elpriset har stigit kraftigt under det senaste året. Detta kan eventuellt ha påverkan på boendThe building and service sector consume 40 percent of Sweden’s total energy use. Which of only single-family houses are responsible for 8 percent. The energy used in single family houses mainly goes to heating and hot water. 2020 the most common energy source for heating these buildings was electricity (Energimyndigheten 2022). The energy prices have increased heavily during the last year. This ma

Classical music institutions are confronting declining attendance among younger and diverse audiences, fearing an aging visitor demographic. The LUDICH Project at Lund University, in collaboration with several industry partners, academic institutions, the Malmö Symphony Orchestra and their home concert hall of Malmö Live aims to address this challenge by investigating innovative digital solutions

Två flugarter: mer alkohol, mer sex? Artbildning är en av de viktigaste processerna inom evolutionsbiologi. För att en art ska bli två krävs det att arten formar två grupper som inte reproducerar sig med varandra. Om en sådan reproduktiv isolering, som det kan kallas, fortgår i flera generation kan så pass många genetiska skillnader åsamlas mellan grupperna att hybrider (avkommor från två olika tSexually reproducing species tend to have reproductive barriers between them that prevent hybrid offspring from being formed. Drosophila melanogaster and D. simulans are two closely related species that can form sterile hybrids. In addition to their post-zygotic barriers, which cause the hybrid sterility, some behavioral pre-zygotic barriers also exist. These include different preferences for cour

Membrane technology has revolutionized protein recovery in the food industry, beginning with whey protein extraction via ultrafiltration. This success led to its application in concentrating animal proteins like blood plasma, fish proteins, and albumen. As the protein shift towards plant-based sources grows, membrane processes now enable the industrial recovery of wheat, sunflower, and rapeseed pr

En stor andel av Skånes landbaserade vindkraft närmar sig slutet av sin tekniska livslängd, samtidigt som behovet av ökad fossilfri elproduktion är stort. Istället för att avveckla och nedmontera den åldrande vindkraften trycker EU på behovet av repowering, vilket innebär att istället ersätta delar av eller hela vindkraftverk. Detta utgör ett potentiellt kostnadseffektivt sätt att öka elproduktionA large share of onshore wind power in Skåne is approaching the end of its technical lifetime, while the demand for increased fossil-free electricity generation is substantial. Rather than decommissioning and dismantling aging wind power assets, the EU emphasizes the need for repowering, which entails replacing parts of or entire wind turbines. Repowering represents a potentially cost-effective wa
