The Danes’ have the highest municipal waste generation per capita in the European Union and it is estimated that 40% of residual waste is biowaste. Fortunately, it is possible to address environmental pressures and counteract resource loss from incineration by the process of bio-gasification of collected biowaste in Denmark. However, despite efforts to reduce barriers of convenience and accessibil
Agricultural biomass to energy holds promise for the sustainability of energy production and positive reduction of CO2 emission. This thesis explores the potential of rice husk as a sustainable energy source for electricity and process heat generation focusing on a rice mill in Sri Lanka. It utilizes advanced thermochemical conversion technologies specifically separate reactors for pyrolysis and g
Abstract in UndeterminedAn analysis of the environmental effects and resource consumption by four systems for management of wastewater and organic household waste in a new city area have been performed, as follows: (1) conventional system complemented with advanced sludge treatment for phosphorus recovery, (2) blackwater system with urine diversion and food waste disposers, (3) blackwater system w
Frequent or chronic tension-type headache in children is a prevalent and debilitating condition for the child, often leading to medication overuse. To explore the relationship between physical factors and tension-type headache in children, the quality of repeated measures was examined. The aim of the present study was to determine the test-retest repeatability of parameters determining isometric n
A method of separately quantifying organic and inorganic 14C compounds present in spent ion-exchange resins and process water from nuclear power reactors has been developed. Extraction of carbon compounds is accomplished by means of acid stripping (inorganic 14C) and subsequent wet oxidation (organic 14C) or by N2 purging in combination with a catalytic furnace (oxidized and reduced gaseous compou
Cancer is one of today’s most common causes of human mortality. For long, chemotherapeutics has been a conventional treatment of the disease, but due to its low precision and high frequency of side effects, this treatment has been highly debated. Nanosized particles, so called nanoparticles (NPs), have emerged as a promising tool for cancer treatment, due to their ability of selectively reaching t

In the European Union there are special schemes in Value Added Tax that Member States may adopt. Those rules are set out in the VAT Directive. Two of those special schemes are the special scheme for small enterprises and the common flat-rate scheme for farmers. Along to the provisions of the VAT Directive there is also some case law from the CJEU that clarifies the application of the schemes. Ger
Alkali metal atoms, especially sodium and potassium, show an intense fluorescence in hot flue gases. The bright fluorescence emitted by alkali metal atoms offers a large potential for spectroscopic combustion analysis. In this thesis, the temperature dependence of the two-component fluorescence intensity ratio Na/K, as well as the three-component ratio Na·Li/K2 was investigated in the flames with
Colombia is a country characterized by an intense internal armed conflict, which has its foundation in political instability followed by discontent among the population of the country. With the rise of drug lords, rebel groups, paramilitaries and army the conflict has continuously intensified towards the government, which has left countless of civilians displaced and vulnerable. The political corr
In 2014, the sharia-ruled Aceh province of Indonesia legislated bylaw qanun jinayat no.6/2014, which criminalised same-sex acts, and imposed a caning punishment consisting of a hundred lashes if a person was found guilty. The law impelled a hunt and persecution of LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) individuals, thereby worsening discrimination against the already hampered LGBT community. T
Phytophagous insects, comprising over half a million species, depend on plants for survival and are broadly categorised as specialists or generalists based on the range of host plants they exploit. Host plant selection is shaped by environmental factors, such as local plant availability, and ecological pressures, including competition and predation. While patterns of specialisation and generalisat
Seriepositionseffekter och recency-kvoten har visat potential som kliniska verktyg riktade mot neurokognitiva störningar, de har dock förblivit outforskade i Claeson-Dahls Test för inlärning och minne (CDT). Den aktuella studien syftade att fylla kunskapsluckan, vilket gjordes genom naturalistiskt insamlade data (N = 110) från ett projekt avsett att uppdatera CDT:s normer. Jag hypotiserade förekomSerial positioning effects and the derived recency ratio has shown increasing promise as clinical tools for evaluating neurocognitive disorders. These measures have remained unexplored in Claeson-Dahl’s Test for verbal learning and retention (CDT). To correct this, the present study used naturalistic sample data (N = 110) from a project intended to update CDT’s norms. I hypothesized the prevalence
Plant-based ice cream and whipping cream are increasingly popular as sustainable alternatives to traditional dairy products. Their low fat content makes them much healthier than high-fat dairy products. However, achieving desirable texture and stability in plant-based desserts remains a challenge. This study investigated how different processing conditions (homogenization pressure, upstream/downst
Dryland ecosystems are important yet understudied sinks of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), and sources of nitrous oxide (N₂O). Hence, monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes and their responses to climate change in these systems is increasingly important. This thesis investigates the potential of hyperspectral reflectance data (between 390 and 1750nm) to predict greenhouse gas fluxes during
Over the past decade, the field of Inner Transformation for Sustainability has grown into a substantial and influential body of knowledge, providing much of the scientific foundation for the Inner Development Goals (IDGs). In this conversation, Professor Christine Wamsler and Tomas Björkman reflect on the current state of the field. They emphasize that any meaningful application of the IDG Guide r

The possible contribution of HLA-DRB3, -DRB4 and -DRB5 alleles to type 1 diabetes risk and to autoantibodies against insulin (IAA), GAD65 (GADA), IA-2 (IA-2A) or ZnT8 against either of the three amino acid variants, R, W or Q at position 325 (ZnT8RA, ZnT8WA, and ZnT8QA, respectively) at clinical diagnosis is unclear. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was therefore used to determine all DRB alleles
