Varje år köps ca 13,5 kg textil per person i Sverige varav 7,6 kg går till energiåtervinning via restavfallet. Att tillverka textilier kräver mycket resurser och bidrar till stora utsläpp. För att kunna ta tillvara på dessa kasserade textilier krävs insamlingssystem som bibehåller textilens kvalité, så att de kan återanvändas eller återvinnas istället för att förbrännas. Denna studie syftar till aAbout 13.5 kg of textile per person are consumed in Sweden each year, of which 7.6 kg goes to energy recovery through the residual waste. Manufacturing textiles requires a lot of resources and contributes to large emissions. In order to make use of the discarded textiles, collection systems are required that maintain the quality of the textile. This allows them to be reused or recycled instead of
Neonikotinoider – ett hot mot bin, andra insekter och den biologiska mångfalden? Neonikotinoider är en grupp av bekämpningsmedel som används flitigt inom dagens jordbruk. På senare tid har detta dock blivit alltmer ifrågasatt. Forskning har nämligen visat att bin kan ta skada och i värsta fall dö när de får i sig neonikotinoider, och vissa menar att det kan finnas ett samband mellan dessa bekämpNeonicotinoids, e.g. clothiandin, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam, is the most used class of insecticides worldwide. However, lately, this group of insecticides has been subject to controversy. Due to the systemic traits of neonicotinoids, the active compound is translocated throughout the whole plant, which provides effective and long-lasting protection against herbivorous pests. On the other hand,
Most of the natural resources we rely on for our existence on this planet could in one way or another be a subject to overexploitation through tragedy of the commons. Tragedy of the commons occurs when rational individuals all acting in their own self-interest creates a situation that is suboptimal for everyone involved (Hardin, 1968). For long privatization or government control over a common wer
Bakgrund: Till följd av att den globala konkurrensen tilltar, ökar komplexiteten, flexibiliteten och produktvariationen inom produktion. Detta leder till att förbättringsprojekt blir allt svårare att genomföra. Händelsestyrd simulering har i litteraturen blivit identifierat som ett verktyg med förmågan att lösa dessa utmaningar, men till följd av att komplexiteten i en produktion ökar, växer ocksåBackground: Following a growing global competition, complexity, flexibility and product variability of manufacturing systems are increasing. This has led to improvement projects becoming more difficult to carry out. Discrete event simulation (DES) has in literature been identified as having the capability to solve these challenges, but as complexity of a manufacturing system increases so does also
Leakage at the floor drain is the biggest cause of moisture damage in bathrooms today. Wooden joists are the most common type of joist structure in houses and because of wood being a moisture sensitive material, moisture damage at the floor drain can lead to big problems. The purpose of this paper was to find out the most common reasons to why moisture damages occur at floor drains installed in wo
Increasing urbanization and the commodification of housing have contributed to limited availability of affordable housing in many cities worldwide. Marked-based rent regulations and the redevelop-ment of post-industrial harbor districts have given rise to the emergence of new-build gentrification in many cities. Sweden, formerly known for its social democratic and welfare state policies, has under
Korslimmat trä, KL-trä, är ett förhållandevis nytt byggnadsmaterial i byggbranschen. Det består av ett udda antal skikt av lameller av konstruktionsvirke, där varje skikt av lameller ligger roterade 90 grader i förhållande till intilliggande skikt. Materialet används både i den bärande stommen och som stomkomplettering i form av exempelvis trappor. Idag finns endast en etablerad tillverkare på dCross-laminated timber, CLT, is a rather new building material. It consists of an odd number of layers consisting of lumber boards stacked together, where each layer is rotated 90 degrees in comparison to the adjacent layers. The material is used both as a load-carrying element as well as a non-load-carrying element, such as stairs. Today there is only one established producer of CLT in Sweden. D
In the past few decades the ways of addressing past atrocities in states on the verge of transition from abusive regimes to human rights abiding democracies have developed into an area of international law commonly known as 'Transitional Justice'. The focus lies on facilitating the transition through different measures with the purpose of addressing the past and seeking reparation for the
A detailed flammability evaluation of different materials used in the nuclear power industry is presented as an example of how important are physical observation and detailed analysis in the interpretation of test data. The objective is to provide different criteria that could allow the use of standard test data in fire modeling. So far most fire test data has only been used as an element for rank
During the last few decades there have been speculations as to whether heavy drug abuse among youths has increased. The aim of this thesis was to examine the heavy drug addiction amongst clients between the ages of 19 and 27 who have come in contact with the adults unit at Södermalms stadsdelsförvaltning (Stockholm, Sweden) in the time period between 2002-2010. What has the development for these y

Sedan 1975 har det funnits en utökad möjlighet för patienter att få ersättning vid felbehandling inom vården genom den frivilliga patientförsäkringen, utöver de möjligheter som skadeståndsrätten erbjuder. År 1997 var patient-försäkringen inte frivillig längre, då det lagstadgades att varje vårdgivare är skyldig att ha en patientförsäkring och förutsättningarna för ersättning fastställdes. FörutsätSince 1975, the possibility for remedy when Swedish healthcare is performed incorrectly and causes personal injury is extended by the voluntary patient injury insurance. Since 1997, the patient injury insurance is statutory in the Patient Injury Act and thereby mandatory for all health care institutions. The conditions for compensation through the patient injury insurance are the same regardless o

Den tilltalades unga ålder och allvarligt psykiska störning är två exempel på omständigheter i den svenska straffprocessen som betingar straffrättslig särbehandling i påföljdshänseende. För den som är under 18 år står bland annat flera strafflindringgrunder till buds och den som är under 15 år åtnjuter även straffrihet vid brott. Särbehandlingen av allvarligt psykisk störda lagöverträdare utmärks The defendant’s young age and serious mental disorder are two examples of circumstances in the Swedish criminal legal system that entails special treatment in the sentencing matter. For instance, defendants under the age of 18 have several grounds for mitigation of a sentence and those under the age of 15 gets exempted from punishment. For seriously psychotic perpetrators, on the other hand, the s
In this paper the studied subject is the recent offshoot of incels: gymcels and associated terms such as sigma among others. This study investigates what this subsect implies and does so by defining aspects of conventional incel culture and juxtaposes these with gymcel cultures own differing ones. This includes values, morals, beliefs, concepts and the language used in this community to differ its
