Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been successfully implemented in various developed countries. The complex waste flows and the presence of the informal sector in non-OECD countries makes the execution of EPR challenging widely. The informal sector owing to its contribution to the waste management sector has been advocated for inclusion and recognition by researchers and practitioners. Th

This report presents and discusses the status quo of Chinese ricewine culture. It’s unfortunate to note that many Chinese young people prefer beer/red wine rather than our own wines because they think it is out of date, from the wine packaging to drinking utensils. I use five main methods for the research: history reviewing/ interview/ field trip/ mind-mapping/ gesture video. Findings sho

Denna studie har genomförts på Tetra Pak för att studera deformation i vätskekartong under vikning. När en förpackning formas i fyllmaskinerna viks kartongen enligt biglinjerna. Det finns ett stort intresse av att studera vikprocessen då den är avgörande för den slutgiltiga kvaliteten av förpackningen. Matematiska modeller används för att simulera kartong men dessa kräver verkliga mätningar och dThis study has been conducted at Tetra Pak to study deformation in liquid packaging paperboard during the folding process. When a package is formed in the filling machines, the paperboard is folded according to the crease lines. It is of great interest to study the folding process since it is crucial to the final quality of the package. Mathematical models are used for simulation of paperboard bu

Overheating in buildings is a growing public health hazard becoming more prevalent with climate change. The research aimed to analyse how interactions between jurisdictional scales, urban stakeholders and policies promoting synergies affect adaptation processes in cities using overheating policies in London as an example. Understanding how these interactions affect policy implementation can ensure

The purpose of this essay is to examine how Nepal has implemented article 28 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). The essay focuses on subdivision 1(a) in the article which establishes that all States Parties shall make primary education compulsory and free to all children within their country. Through the ratification of the CRC the Government of Nepal is under the obligation to

Objective: To limit the research time by developing a theoretical model, that can predict the lifetime of a wheel with the help of different input values. Apart from a theoretical model, also create a different type of test rig that can decrease the testing time, and still produce an accurate result similar to a real situation. Method: This Master’s Thesis was based on both an investigatory method

Large and strongly growing organizations tackle the issue of finding a way to decide which business requirements to fulfill and which projects to move forward but often forget the strategic. Once a strategy has been developed, its implementation appears to be seen as a matter of operational detail and tactical adjustment. As efforts and resources risk to be put on the wrong projects, how do you ma

Since the aging problem became increasingly serious all around the world, the solution of aged care turns to an important issue which received wide concerning. As China own the one fifth population of the world, a well formed aged care system is urgently needed. The aim of this paper is to explore a possible form to relieve the more and more severe aged care pressure by taking Hangzhou as an empir

We compare 17 exchange-traded funds (ETF) traded on the New York Stock Exchange benchmarking European indices and Asian indices. Over the five-year period of 2006-04-05 to 2011-04-05, with the additional focus being on the financial crisis stretching from 2007-08-01 to 2009-02-27, we evaluate the ETFs performance and ability in tracking their benchmark indices through extreme volatile periods. Our

Ericsson India is looking into the possibility to enter a new business in the country. The business is a “telecom site leasing” service which would be included in Ericsson’s service portfolio. Services are an increasingly important part of the company’s total revenues. Demand for so called turn-key services, meaning full implementation and control over a customer’s network, is an example of a serv

This thesis is focused on exploring what insights a human ecological perspective could provide on the understanding and practice of political consumerism. This is divided and conducted in two sections, the first section is a theoretical discussion which is devoted to defining political consumerism and reconseptualizing some aspects and components of it as well as to positioning it in a wider and m

This paper examines the labor market attachment of immigrant women in Germany by testing the hypothesis of a double disadvantage and looking at the determinants of immigrant women’s earnings and occupational prestige in 1999 and 2009. Hypotheses derived from human capital and labor market segmentation theory are tested by running ordinary least squares regressions on earnings and occupational pre

Magnetresonans, förkortat MR, är ett fysikaliskt fenomen som tillämpas inom medicinsk diagnostik för bildtagning. Med hjälp av mycket starka magnetfält kan bilder erhållas, exempelvis på hjärnan, utan att joniserande strålning används. Förutom bilder kan MR-bildtagning även användas för att avbilda perfusion (kapillärblodflöde) och vattendiffusion i hjärnan. Ytterligare ett användningsområde är av

I en linjäraccelerator som används för strålterapi överförs konventionellt energi till elektroner som skickas i en stråle mot en metallplatta. Då elektronerna snabbt bromsas upp i plattan utsänds fotoner med hög energi i olika riktningar, men i största mån rakt framåt. Den breda fotonstråle som skapas bländas sedan in till önskade dimensioner av flyttbara blyblock i acceleratorhuvudet. Strålen är "Introduction For IMRT treatments, removing the flattening filter could be beneficial, as it would decrease the beam-on time required for delivering a certain dose. The aim of this work has been to assess the calculation accuracy obtained when implementing flattening filter free beam data into the treatment planning system Oncentra MasterPlan.

The 17th September 2001 the distributor Schenker started to cooperate with the computer systems manufacturer Dell to deliver Dell's products to the Nordic market. In the beginning of a new cooperation new processes are formed and they are often developed to solve the local, immediate problems without considering the overall picture. In the distribution network from Dell's plants in Ire

Insect migrations are spectacular natural events and resemble a remarkable relocation of biomass between two locations in space. Unlike the well-known migrations of daytime flying butterflies, such as the painted lady (Vanessa cardui) or the monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus), much less widely known are the migrations of nocturnal moths. These migrations - typically involving billions of moths f
