During this project, flows of textile waste in Sweden were mapped and analysed. Much of the information in the report was based on a literature review performed in the beginning of the project. It was concluded that textile waste should firstly be re-used, thereafter recycled and as a last option incinerated. Turning textile waste into biofuel is not a reasonable option compared to incineration wi
About 96% of hydrogen is produced via chemical processes from fossil material globally and just 4% is obtained from environmentally friendly sources. Caldicellulosiruptor species are good candidates for hydrogen production via dark fermentation from a variety of substrates. They therefore provide a great opportunity to be used as decomposers of organic waste, lignocellulosic material and municipal
This study investigates which possible incremental solutions there are for reducing the emissions of greenhouse gases from the largest sources of emissions in Danish agriculture and they are implemented by national measures. This is important because Denmark is required to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions from the sectors that are not part of the European Emission Trade System with 39% by 203
With many people not really understanding what the European Union is and how it works the EU is left to fight a lack of interest, identification and participation. The present thesis approaches the problem by looking at the linguistic and rhetorical device of metaphors as a popular means of creating understanding by explaining a complex topic in a transferred way. Numerous metaphors exist in EU di
This report presents combinatorics studies in the search for a resonance of below 800GeVwhich decay product is a pair of hadronic jets from quarks. The resonance, predicted as a dark matter mediator, has couplings to dark matter particles as well as quarks and gluons. The resonance is created in association with a radiated object that can be either a photon or a jet. In the case of the radiation b
GALDIT is a Vulnerability Indexing (VI) methodology that uses ranges, ratings and weights developed as a preliminary decision support tool to predict groundwater areas prone to Sea Water Intrusion (SWI). It has been only applied on porous coastal aquifers to date, in Mediterranean coastal regions, where SWI has become a growing problem. The present study tests the applicability of GALDIT VI in the
År 2025 har Sverige som mål att vara det bästa landet i världen på att utnyttja möjligheterna med digitalisering av vården. Ett sätt att digitalisera sjukvården är genom användningen av uppkopplade hälsoenheter och patient-insamlad hälsodata. Än så länge har forskningen fokuserat på användningsområden för kroniker, och där är man eniga i de stora fördelarna. Däremot är användningsområden och förde
The aim of this Master’s thesis is to research the presence of lesbians in historical archives. My material consists of interviews with four swedish archivists. The aim of these interviews is to research the priorities and the work that is beeing done at the archives concerning collecting material that is missing in the archive and making existing material related to lesbian lives accessible. Fu
During the fall 2015, it was 114 000 people who applied for asylum in Sweden and the integration became a frequently discussed topic. The school is an area where there's high potential for the newly arrived students to create a network and to be integrated in the society. However, that's maybe not the case as the researDches say that the schools get more and more segregated. This study exa
Uppsatsen är en textanalys av svenska förarbeten för fastställande av föräldraskap från 1900-talet till idag. Detta för att identifiera centrala intressen och få en fördjupad förståelse för hur olika intressen tillgodoses i dagens gällande rätt. Fastställande av faderskap lagreglerades först genom 1917 års barnlagar och sedan dess har faderskap kunnat fastställas genom faderskapspresumtionen, faThis essay discusses the evolution of the laws determining legal parenthood in Sweden to gain a deeper understanding of how different interests causes changes within the law and how the interest interact with each other. This has been done by analyzing the legislative history and the preparatory work from the 20th century to today. Legal paternity has been regulated by law since 1917 and can be
Projektet Intelligent Survey (IS) utvecklades för att predicera depression och ångest från naturligt språk genom att översätta individers kvalitativa svar från elva öppna frågor till kvantitativa värden som jämförs och prediceras mot skalorna; Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), Harmony in Life scale (HILS) och Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS). I saThe project Intelligent Survey (IS) was developed to predict depression and anxiety from natural language by translating individuals' qualitative answers from eleven open-ended questions to quantitative values, which are compared and predicted against the scales; Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD -7), Harmony in Life scale (HILS) and Satisfaction Wit
Quantum annealing provides a promising avenue for obtaining good approximate solutions to difficult optimization problems. Protein folding represents one such problem. For testing novel algorithms and technologies, simplified lattice models are well suited, as they represent considerable computational challenges despite their simplicity. One such model is the HP model, where the protein is represe
Förbättring av plasmidtransfektion till celler är av yttersta vikt vid forskning och behandling av sjukdomar baserat på genetiska tillvägagångssätt. Utvecklingen av omfattande, säkra, effektiva och skalbara metoder att införa genetiskt material i celler utgör en teknisk utmanande uppgift. Sonoporering, där trycket från ultraljudvågor orsakar perforering i cellmembranet, vilket möjliggör transfektiImproving plasmid transfection into cells is crucial in genetic disease research and treatment. The development of comprehensive, safe, effective, and scalable methods for introducing genetic material into cells poses a technically challenging task. Sonoporation, which utilizes pressure from ultrasonic waves to induce perforations in the cell membrane, enabling transfection, is an evolving method
Automatic segmentation of organs and tissues in computed tomography (CT) images can aid clinicians in anatomical contextualization for planning surgery or dosimetry. CT scans can cover varying axial ranges of the body. This thesis aims to develop a neural network based on vision transformers for segmenting organs and tissues in CT images of arbitrary axial ranges. Two models are presented, one bas
The widespread use of plastic mulch in agriculture is rapidly increasing due to intensified farming practices. While plastic mulch can enhance crop yields significantly, it also introduces challenges related to waste management and environmental degradation. This study focuses on the application of Sentinel-2A imagery and the Maximum Likelihood Classifier (MLC) to classify plastic foils used in ea
Due to labor shortages and an aging workforce, businesses are having difficulty hiring and maintaining talented staff. Employer branding is an important factor in attracting and keeping top employees. However, current research on job seekers' expectations and fulfillment is lacking. This study explores job seekers' expectations and how they align with job and organizational culture in real
Context: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common human malignancies and arises through genetic and epigenetic alterations. Epigenetic modifications include DNA methylation, histone modifications, and microRNAs (miRNA) and produce heritable changes in gene expression without altering the DNA coding sequence. Objective: To review progress in the understanding of PCa epigenetics and to focus
