As society becomes more ecologically conscious there is a push toward the use of materials with a smaller environmental burden, one of these materials is glulam (GLT), which has gained a lot of traction in recent years not only for ecological reasons but for its ease in manufacture, transport, noise dampening, etc. The focus of this project was to evaluate the influence of different joint configu
After the major populist events such as Trump and Brexit, the media politicians turned their attention to the socio-economic and political division between big cities and small countryside communities. Rural areas where right-wing populist parties have found a large part of their support have besome “left-behind places", described as forgotten and misunderstood. The question of why these popu
A prerequisite for the effective conservation of species, is the accurate assessment of a species’ distribution and numbers. In order to look into the population sizes of birds, a quantitative atlas project from 1981 included a total count of the inland birds in the Faroe Islands. The aim for my thesis was to look at the population changes from 1981 until 2020, by repeating the 1981 atlas project,
There is a need for harmonisation of stability study designs of monoclonal antibodies. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are widely used in treatments for various diseases. Like all drugs, their quality must be verified through stability studies. The ICH guidelines give general recommendations regarding stability studies of antibodies, and specifications should often be determined on a case-by-case bas
The cost of developing and researching novel molecular compounds in the pharmaceutical industry is very high today. If an actor accidentally releases too much information about a novel molecule to the public the molecule becomes prior art, and as an effect, can not be patented. This has resulted in a fragmented space where collaboration across organizations is virtually non-existent. We propose a
The thesis aims to understand if seed saving practiced by oppressed small-scale farmers and peasants who are affiliated with Navdanya can be seen as a technology of resistance against the dominant agri-food industrial paradigm. Another aim is to find out how political and cultural meanings are attached to seed saving. It also aims to challenge this aforementioned paradigm. The inquiry is exemplifi
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the role of the perceived servicescape (i.e. color, music, cleanliness, ambient temperature, layout/function and signs/symbols) in influencing customers' behavioral intentions in Chinese fast food restaurants. Methods: In this study, a deductive approach, a quantitative methodology, and a survey research design are adopted. The data is collected
En kopparlödd värmeväxlare används i fjärrvärmeapplikationer. Ett samhälle under ständig utveckling har lett till en strävan att förbättra dessa produkter, men också till en strävan att minska kostnaden vid både tillverkning och utveckling av nya, effektivare produkter.This Master Thesis has been conducted with the aim to investigate the mechanical performance of an isolated copper braze joint. The mechanical performance of the copper brazed heat exchanger is to a great extent determined by the properties of the copper braze joints. It is not yet exactly known how different parameters such as the weight of copper per joint, plate material composition and furnace
Abstract Author: Lisa Avenius Title: Suspicion that a child is being maltreated - a study of preschool teachers views on mandatory reporting The aim of this study was to get preschool-teachers views and experiences on previously researched areas surrounding the notification tendency regarding mandatory reporting. The mandatory report contains an obligation to immediately report suspected child mal
When deciding upon the usage of direct deliveries as opposed to central inventories, efficiency and strategic effects need to be considered. Operations management literature on efficiency effects is not hard to find but literature describing what other factors can affect the decision is more scarce. Even less literature can be found on the theme of deciding between direct or indirect physical flow
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka tolkningen av art. 6.3-4 habitatdirektivet. Syftet är även att ge synpunkter i frågan om tolkningen följs i svensk rättstillämpning. Direktivets syfte är att bidra till att säkerställa den biologiska mångfalden genom bevarande av livsmiljöer samt vilda djur och växter på medlemsstaternas europeiska territorium som omfattas av fördraget (art. 2.1 habitatdirThe aim of this essay is to examine the interpretation of art. 6.3-4 of the Habitats Directive. It is also to comment on whether Swedish case law is consistent with this interpretation. The aim of the Directive is to contribute towards ensuring bio-diversity through the conservation of natural habitats and of wild fauna and flora in the European territory of the Member States to which the Treaty a
A method for investigating how the ocean surface aects the accuracy of Airborne Lidar Bathymetry surveys, (ALB), due to environmental conditions, was developed. Computer graphic techniques were examined and utilized for construction of realistic ocean surfaces. Wave spectrum models available in the literature describing the wave number composition of ocean surfaces were used in order to be able to
This study seeks an understanding of how Facebook users cope with the impact of anti-tobacco shock advertising by posting comments on Facebook. It also clarifies how healthcare organisations help these people re-construct themselves online after they have been shocked. The effectiveness of shock advertising at changing harmful behaviours has been extensively studied in the field of strategic commu
In England saltmarshes account for less than 0.5% of the land area, however they have a very high biodiversity value and provide significant economic and social worth. Climate change, continuous coastal urbanisation, and port development are a serious concern for coastal protection planners, city councils and the government. It is a challenge for these decision makers to balance the social, econom
Resilience, the ability to withstand or adapt to altered conditions, gets more important as the grave effects of climate change intensify. Individuals’ capacities to respond to disasters are strongly connected to their social capital (e.g. relationships and networks). The aim of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of this connection at a neighborhood level. In the first part of this p

I internationell humanitär rätt är de fundamentala principerna, distinktion, proportionalitet och försiktighet av yttersta vikt och måste respekteras i väpnade konflikter. Syftet med principerna är att skydda individer såsom civila som ej deltar i stridigheter. Oavsett vilket typ av vapen som används i en väpnad konflikt måste de fundamentala principerna alltid respekteras. I det fall principerna In international humanitarian law the fundamental principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution must be respected during armed conflicts. The purpose of these principles is to protect individuals such as civilians who take no part in the hostilities. No matter what type of weapon used during an armed conflict the above principles must be respected, and if the principles are not followe
Dagens vägskyddsanläggningar är baserade på gammal reläteknik och är byggda på liknande sätt som på 1940-talet. År 2014 påbörjades projekt-Alex av Trafikverket med mål att byta ut dagens vägskyddsanläggningar mot en mer modern och driftsäker anläggning. Detta genom att uppdatera tekniken i vägskyddsanläggningarna till ett databaserat system som ska standardiseras och inte vara så anläggningsspecifToday's level crossing security systems are based on old relay-based technology and have been constructed in the same way since the 1940s. In 2014, Project-Alex was initiated by Trafikverket to replace the current level crossing security systems with a more modern and reliable system. It is done by updating the technology in the level crossing security systems to a computer-based system that i

With food shortage becoming a growing problem at the same time as the world population increases and cities become more densely populated than ever before, resource efficiency has become a more dire issue than ever. One major problem in food production today is that production efficiency is very weather dependent, transportation is also a big factor in environmental impact and almost half the worl
