Larvae from the non-biting midge family Chironomidae have previously been demonstrated to be sensitive to environmental pollution in aquatic environments. Exposure to different contaminants has resulted in an increasing occurrence of deformities of the mouthparts in the larvae. Common pollutions which induce mouthpart deformitys are metals (such as Pb, Zn, Cd, Cu, Hg, Cr, Ni), pesticides and some
The Horse Sector in Sweden today is growing and almost 10% of Sweden's population will be regularly in contact with horses. Interest in these animals is increasing all the time, which means that more people will also get in touch with the daily care of the horse. In the management of horses is heavy lifting and other strenuous movements regular. Something that has been overlooked in the horse
The HIE-ISOLDE post accelerator at CERN has recently come online, en- abling the use of radioactive ion beams with energies of up to 10 MeV/u. An active target gaseous detector is under development for use in some of the experiments. The first investigation of the electron amplification stage with gas electron multipliers has been performed. To this end, a small prototype GEM detector was built an
Biogas production is a renewable energy technology of great potential. The produced gas can be used for heat production, combined heat and power production, vehicle fuel production or as replacement for natural gas. The technology brings about synergic benefits as it is a means of waste management and since the digested material is a valuable fertiliser.An increased production of biogas is advocat
Trots att preventivmedel är lättillgängligt för kvinnor i Sverige idag, både praktisk och ekonomisk, visar nyligen framlagd forskning att abortstatistiken i Sverige ökat bland kvinnor 24-29 år. Studien lyfter fram negativa attityder gentemot hor-monella preventivmedel som en bidragande faktor. Vår studie ser till hur missupp-fattningarna kring preventivmedel kan förklaras, vilken roll kommunikatioEven though contraceptives in Sweden are made sure to be easily accessible to women both practically and economically resent research by medical institutions in Sweden shows that the abortion statistics are increasing amongst women aged 24-29. The study implicates that the statistics are related to negative attitudes to-wards hormonal contraceptives amongst these women. In our study we aim to in-v
Lifejackets, categorized as personal protective equipment, are subject to meticulous regulation. In Europe, the commercialization of a lifejacket necessitates its compliance with various requirements, notably the successful completion of field tests. The objective of this project is to digitally recreate the primary tests employed for product validation. The numerical simulation employs the child
Technology contributes to the modern economic development directly and indirectly, and it changes the operating system and working method during the economic transformation. Along with institutional reform and modern economic structural transformation of China, agriculture still plays an ineradicable role in the development of Chinese economy, and it is the cornerstone for countries with large pop
In the spring of 2015, five young feminist activists were arrested by the Chinese police for allegedly ‘causing trouble’, which resulted in global attention aimed at this new wave of feminist movement. Youth feminist activism have made their voice heard in China through numerous actions for gender equality since 2012. Not much is known about the new feminist movements and the limited work that exi
The importance to cut costs and to be as efficient as possible has never been as important as it is today in order to stay competitive in the market. IKEA are currently facing increasing challenges with the production growth due to a high demand from the market and goals for 2020. This large growth will affect the bottom line of the supply chain, the suppliers. The necessary production growth also
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what factors, if any, are most prevalent in the valuation of small cap stocks, with limited ownership as compared to their fundamental values, where crowd based trading and insights do not necessarily prevail. Methodology: A deductive and comparative study realized in quantitative research based upon a sample selection of smaller companies. Find
The German transition to renewable energies has so far been an example of a successful energy transition of a major economy. Even though this transition is criticized for being only a half-hearted solution, it is an important example of the attempt of a major economy to transit towards renewable energies and is therefore worth studying in its own rights. Thus, my aim in this thesis is the identifi
Denna uppsats handlade om antisocialt beteende kopplat till (upplevd) självförmåga (selfefficacy) och självkänsla (self-esteem). Syftet var att undersöka ifall det finns en korrelation mellan grad av antisocialt beteende och grad av självförmåga och självkänsla. Hypotesen är att ju högre grad av antisocialt beteende desto högre grad av självförmåga och lägre grad av självkänsla. Metoden som använd
Tonsillektomi och tonsillektomi i kombination med adenoidektomi förknippas med svår postoperativ smärta, blödning, PONV och oro. Intresset att utvärdera dessa faktorer efter ett standardiserat vårdprogram ledde till denna studie. Syftet var att belysa det postoperativa välbefinnandet hos barn som genomgått tonsillektomi och tonsillektomi/adenoidektomi. Informationen för studien inhämtades från for
