Organic micropollutants comprise a diverse set of molecules, varying both with regard to the frequency of their use, as well as the potential harm they can inflict upon aquatic ecosystems. Ozonation has been recognized as an efficient method for their abatement, due to its ability to selectively oxidize molecular groups commonly found on organic molecules. Micropollutants are, however, rarely degr
I sverige använder man främst geologisk kartering, geofysik och borrning som prospekteringsmetoder, men forskning och internationella fallstudier visar att grundvattnet är en outnyttjad informationskälla som kan göra letandet efter malm både träffsäkrare och mer hållbart. När mineraliseringar vittrar läcker exempelvis metaller som koppar, zink eller litium ut i grundvattnet och sprids med flödet. In Sweden, geological mapping, geophysics, and drilling are primarily used as exploration methods, but research and international case studies show that groundwater is an untapped source of information that can make the search for ore both more accurate and more sustainable. As mineralisations weather, metals such as copper, zinc, or lithium leach into the groundwater and are transported with the
Classrooms are becoming increasingly digital. One novel digital technology that might enter classrooms soon is eye tracking. This is a method to estimate a person’s gaze direction and infer the point of visual attention. This technology has already provided insights into how students process computer-based instructional material. Moreover, it has been used to enhance pre-recorded video instruction
The Public Health Agency of Sweden are reporting negative statistics regarding the mental health of the LGBTQ-community. The Swedish National Agency for Education has therefore tasked all Swedish teachers and schools to implement a more inclusive way of processing questions regarding the LGBTQ-community in their ways of educating. The aim of this study is therefore to scrutinize teachers' own
The issue of climate change initially emerged on the UN Security Council’s agenda in 2007 during an open debate on climate change, energy and security. Since then, there have been several debates held on the topic, which have attracted significant academic attention. In 2023, a debate was held in the UN Security Council on sea-level rise and its implication for international peace and security. Th
This study aims to scrutinize the role of the social media application Telegram as a protest mobilizing structure during the 2020 post-election uprising in Minsk, Belarus. The purpose is to strengthen the understanding on how protest mobilizations online relate to offline protest participation in authoritarian states, and how the usage of social media in social movements impact, and is influenced
Continuous production control is important for the production using Tetra Pak equipment, as problems that are found early in the chain of production can minimize the need for waste greatly. In production of paper straws, a possible production control could be to photograph straws during production, analyse these and predict how good the straw is, using the image. If the predicted performance of th
I denna uppsats utreder jag vilken rätt gifta barn har att återförenas med sina föräldrar eller med sin make eller maka. Detta för att ur ett barnrättsperspektiv utreda om ett ingånget barnäktenskap begränsar barns rätt till familjeåterförening. Syftet är även att undersöka på vilket sätt principen om barnets bästa förhåller sig till gifta barns rätt till familjeåterförening, för att sedan utreda From a child’s rights perspective this essay seeks to investigate whether child marriage restricts children’s right to family reunification. In this essay I therefor study what rights married children have to reunite with their parents or with their spouse. The purpose of this essay is also to investigate how the principle of the best interest of the child relates to married children’s right to fa
We analyze the Ce3+-Pr3+:Y2SiO5 emission spectra obtained under selective excitation of the two Ce3+ sites in Y2SiO5 and we show clear evidence of direct energy transfer from Ce3+ to Pr3+. Energy transfer microparameters were calculated from the experimental spectral overlap between the Ce3+ emission and the Pr3+ and Eu3+ absorptions from which, the transfer mechanisms Ce3+-> Pr3+ are concluded to
Biological applications of ion beams have recently become a new important research field using single ion hit facilities to study individual living cells and their response to the hit of a counted number of ions. One motivation is the search for a better understanding of the fundamental processes taking place in cells and organs as a result of irradiation. Another comes from the increasing interes
Slagkäglor är konformade makro- megastrukturer med strieringar som divergerar från konens spets. De har endast observerats i nedslagsstrukturer, meteoriter och explosionskratrar, och är på jorden därför nästan unika för nedslagsstrukturer. På grund av detta kan slagkäglor användas för att identifiera nedslagsstrukturer samt ge kvantitativa data om dessa nedslagsstrukturer. Dock kan slagkäglor varaShatter cones are conical macro- mega structures with striations that diverge from the apex of the cone. They have only been observed in impact structures, meteorites and explosion craters, and is on earth therefore almost unique for impact structures. Because of this, shatter cones can be used to identify impact structures and give quantitative data about these impact structures. However, shatter
Syftet med denna studie vara att undersöka den högkänsliga personens subjektiva upplevelser av livet innan- och efter insikten om personlighetsdraget. Tillkommande frågeställningar som studerades, var även de positiva och negativa aspekterna av personlighetsdraget. Studiens metodologiska utgångspunkt var av den kvalitativa innehållsanalysen. Intervjuer hölls med sju deltagare som upplevde sig själThe purpose of this study was to examine the highly sensitives persons subjective experiences in life before- and after the knowledge about the personality character. Additional questions also studied the positive and negative aspects of the highly sensitive person. The studies methodological framework is based on the qualitative content analysis. The interviews where held with seven participants
Water is a large part of life on earth and is also a large part of the human body which is why it is so important. Aquaporins are water channels that transports water through a process called trafficking. Aquaporin 2 is one of these aquaporins and with a faulty trafficking or mutations it could lead to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus and severe dehydration. Ezrin is a protein in the body which FERM
This study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand
I år trädde lag (2020:62) om hemlig dataavläsning i kraft, vilket gav de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna befogenhet att i hemlighet avlyssna och läsa data. Denna uppsats kommer att försöka ge läsaren en förståelse av själva lagen och dess innebörd, för att sedan analysera lagen. Lagen kommer även att undersökas i förhållande till våra grundläggande rättigheter i Europeiska konventionen om mänskligaThis year the Swedish Act of 2020:62 came into force, which gave the law enforcement authorities the authority to secretly intercept and read data. This essay will try to give the reader an understanding of the law itself and then further investigate the law in relationship to our fundamental rights in the European Convention of Human Rights and Regeringsformen. Furthermore, in this essay the Swed
Purpose – Although the significance of the learning organization concept is recognised in innovation management, there are only a few studies on the way in which a learning orientation affects new service development (NSD) in the hotel industry in Iran. This paper aims to fill that gap. Design/methodology/approach – A questionnaire is designed to ask hotel managers and owners for their thoughts o
In order to reduce its environmental impact, the chemical industry no longer produces base chemicals such as ethylene, solely from fossil, but also from biomass-based feedstocks. However, a biomass option suitable for one region might not be as suitable for another region due to, e.g., long transport and the related environmental. Therefore, local biomass alternatives and the environmental impact
