Life at a music festival can be both a blessing and a curse. It creates a feeling of escaping reality into euphoric happiness and freedom that only music festivals can bring. But one thing can drastically change this mood and make the living at the festival quite miserable – the weather. Rain as well as too high or low temperatures contribute to this negative change of mood. The festival chosen fo
The NEO model, developed by Lindström (2019) for paperboard, is a non-linear material model that utilizes empirically based constitutive relations with switches to mimic elastic-plastic responses. Due to the explicit definition of the constitutive relations, the NEO model does not require a constitutive equilibrium loop. This, in addition to modeling flexibility from the switches, poses the NEO mo
The purpose of this thesis is to examine if Swedish sustainable funds, which invest in Swedish companies and are registered in Sweden, have a higher risk-adjusted return than Swedish traditional funds. The main purpose is to evaluate the risk-adjusted return during the pandemic Covid-19 and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. We construct two different portfolios; one sustainable and one traditional p
This thesis investigates principal terms that are pertinent specifically to the visual character of architecture. In common terminology such as order, complexity, variation, monotony, and contrast. By surveying recent public debates it is deduced that both laymen and professionals lack the sufficient language to establish common ground. By a doctor-patient metaphor it follows that no remedy can be
För att utöka biogasproduktionen i Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) kan restströmmar från jordbrukssektorn fungera som en storskalig leverantör av biomassa. Produktionen av biogas minskar beroendet av fossila bränslen och rötresten som bildas kan också återföras till jordbrukssektorn, vilket skapar ett slutet kretslopp. I detta examensarbete granskades utökningen genom en kartläggning av biogasproduTo expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. The expansion was assessed in this thesis by the investigation of
Due to changes in land use, as well as impacts from the climate change, our inland waters are now exposed to problems such as eutrophication and brownification. This complicates management to develop clean drinking water, as well as it leads to anoxic bottoms and reduces primary production. This literature review aims to see if wetlands can work as a natural filter to reduce both nutrients (nitrog
Buildings from the so called Million programme has a high use of energy and in addition, there are many such houses. The need for them to be retrofitted is big. The City of Helsingborg has set a climate goal which states that the city in 2035 should be neutral in energy use which put a lot of pressure on the real estate owners in the city. All new buildings has to be energy efficient and older bui
Evaluation of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among people with diabetes has been growing in Iran over the last decade. The main aim of the current study was to systematically review the characteristics of these studies and examine quality of their findings. Persian (SID, Magiran) and English (Pubmed, Medline, Web of Science, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO and ERIC) databases were systematically
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) are secreted by the prostate into seminal plasma and through leakage into blood. This leakage increases rapidly in prostate disease, and PSA is used worldwide as a marker of prostate cancer. PSA is activated in vitro by hK2, and cleaves the semenogelins in semen, which releases motile sperm, and low levels of PSA have been asso
Aims There is evidence that increased N inputs to boreal forests, via atmospheric deposition or intentional fertilization, may impact negatively on ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi leading to a reduced flux of plant-derived carbon (C) back to the atmosphere via ECM. Our aim was to investigate the impact of N fertilization of a Pinus sylvestris (L.) forest stand on the return of recently photoassimilate
The aim of this thesis was to test a tool for assessing insomnia symptoms in elderly persons and to investigate late-life insomnia in terms of associated factors and evidence of non-pharmacological interventions in healthcare settings. Data were collected by means of a systematic literature search (Study I), questionnaires (Studies II-III), interviews and observations (Study IV). The results from
Breath alcohol analysis constitutes sufficient material for the prosecution of drunk driving without the need for blood analysis. However, the prevailing method used for breath analysis lacks standardization of several physiological variables that cause a variation of the breath alcohol concentration (BrAC). In this thesis, a novel analyzer which standardizes the BrAC to the water vapour concentra
Currently, the majority of spent batteries are not recycled but become part of the household waste in many countries, especially in China which is the largest producer and consumer of batteries. This is due to many reasons, including the lack of governmental policies to encourage and facilitate battery return and recycling. In that context this research was designed to investigate the attitudes an
Problem definition: The increasingly informed customer will lead to an even greater demand for expertise and knowledge of marketers. Firms need to find new ways to utilize the informed customer as a co-creator of value by more proficiently analyzing behavior, both online and offline. An uncertainty lies in to which extent the operational standards of KIBS firms translate to their marketing and sal
This report summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of organic and conventional farming from an environmental and sustainable perspective. A sustainable agriculture system needs to be able to meet a higher demand for food due to a growing population and minimize the damage of the environment at the same time. The main critic to the organic farming system is that it produces lower yields than
I arbetet redogörs för den svenska sekretesslagstiftningens struktur, innehåll och historiska utveckling i den mån den berör statlig och kommunal tillsyn m.m. över näringslivet. Sekretessbestämmelserna återfinns i 30 kap. 23-24 och 27 §§ OSL. Arbetet behandlar skaderekvisitens betydelse vid rättstillämpningen och den begränsning av handlingsoffentligheten som därvid gjort sig gällande samt i vad mThe purpose of this graduate thesis is to describe the structure, content and historical development of the Swedish Official Secrets Act (2009:400) in terms of state and municipal supervision of the business community. The relevant provisions are contained in chapter 30 sections 23-24 and 27. The work deals with the current principal guideline, in which there is a presumption that secrecy would be
The Klingon language was created as a "verbal movie-prop" for Star Trek and was not supposed to be a language for human communication. But today thousands of persons have studied Klingon and 20 - 30 persons can be considered fluent in the language. A linguistic field of power, a linguistic market, has been formed. The purpose of this thesis is to research how the Klingon language speaker
The general rule in EC law is that a holder of an intellectual property right is not obliged to license the use of that right to others. However, situations exist where intellectual property rights suffer some limitations because of the prevalence of other conflicting interests. A dominant firm can, as the holder of an intellectual property right, be forced to grant a license to one or more undert
