Varje år köps ca 13,5 kg textil per person i Sverige varav 7,6 kg går till energiåtervinning via restavfallet. Att tillverka textilier kräver mycket resurser och bidrar till stora utsläpp. För att kunna ta tillvara på dessa kasserade textilier krävs insamlingssystem som bibehåller textilens kvalité, så att de kan återanvändas eller återvinnas istället för att förbrännas. Denna studie syftar till aAbout 13.5 kg of textile per person are consumed in Sweden each year, of which 7.6 kg goes to energy recovery through the residual waste. Manufacturing textiles requires a lot of resources and contributes to large emissions. In order to make use of the discarded textiles, collection systems are required that maintain the quality of the textile. This allows them to be reused or recycled instead of

Authors: Johannes Nöbbelin and Peter Strandkvist. Title: Addiction & Interventions, the individual solutions. Supervisor: Helena Hansson Assessor: Carina Tigervall The aim with this study was to analyze and examine the factors underlying the social secretary's choice of treatment for addicts. In order to better understand the complexities in the choices social workers face when they invest

Av 3:3 första meningen ABL följer: ”Om bolagets verksamhet helt eller delvis skall ha ett annat syfte än att ge vinst till fördelning mellan aktieägarna, skall detta anges i bolagsordningen.” Vid en första anblick ter sig denna bestämmelse inte särskilt komplicerad. Ett aktiebolag drivs i syfte att ge vinst till fördelningen mellan aktieägarna om inget annat står i bolagsordningen. Det så kallaIn accordance to the main rule in 3:3 ABL, the aim of a corporation is to generate profit for distribution among the shareholders, unless otherwise is stated in the articles of association. The profit making purpose should prevail. At first glance, this regulation is not particularly complicated. 3:3 ABL is, however, the decision criterion that should permeate every decision that the company manag

Bicycle traffic has a significant function for a sustainable society with good public health and environment. In order to increase the number of cyclists there is a need for a high overall standard in level of service as well as a keen attention to detail. For citizens to view the bicycle as an attractive means of transportation, cycle lanes must satisfy the cyclist’s desire for shorter travel tim

This thesis examines the diachronic semantic development in terms of metonymization and metaphorization for 30 nouns loaned into the Swedish language between the 13th and 20th centuries from a cognitive-semantic point of view. Through the framework of Lexical Meaning as Ontologies and Construals (LOC) combined with a study of the occurrence of metaphorization, metonymization, widening and narrowin

ABSTRACT Author: Ulrika Sandén Title: Contentment in the moment (translated title) Supervisor: Lars Harrysson and Hans Thulesius This is a Classic Grounded Theory study aiming at understanding the everyday life in Polarfjorden, a Northern Norwegian rural and historically isolated area. After four and a half years of observations and interviews three concepts emerged, explaining how old survival

Studies based on object-based image analysis (OBIA) representing the paradigm shift in remote sensing image change detection (CD) have achieved remarkable progress in the last decade. Their aim has been developing more intelligent interpretation analysis methods in the future. The prediction effect and performance stability of random forest (RF), as a new kind of machine learning algorithm, are be

Purpose: To investigate the prevalence of depressive symptoms, pain (headaches and stomachaches), and analgesic consumption in addition to the association between depressive symptoms and analgesic consumption among adolescents. Design and methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in southern Sweden. The survey was distributed among students in grade 8 (aged 13–15 years, n = 878). Results:

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning2008 infördes en reform inom svensk politik för arbetskraftsmigration som möjliggjorde för personer utanför EU att komma till Sverige för att arbeta om de erbjudits anställning oavsett utbildningsbakgrund. Reformen har fått mycket uppmärksamhet och ritat om kartan för svensk migrationspolitik. Till ett av de mindre utforskade områdena hör s.k. spårbyten, det vill Many people believe that changes in Swedish migration politics in the last decade signal a turning point and perhaps the end of the well-reputed Swedish exceptionalism. In 2008, Swedish labour migration policy was transformed into one of the most open in whole OECD, whilst Swedish asylum migration policy, known for its humanitarianism, took a significant turn toward restrictiveness in 2016. For se

In silico tools for splicing defect prediction have a key role to assess the impact of variants of uncertain significance. Our aim was to evaluate the performance of a set of commonly used splicing in silico tools comparing the predictions against RNA in vitro results. This was done for natural splice sites of clinically relevant genes in hereditary breast/ovarian cancer (HBOC) and Lynch syndrome.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Experienced breathlessness and recalled breathlessness are two different entities, which may be associated with different factors and might have different impacts on function for the individual. The aim was to review the knowledge from the last 2 years concerning experienced breathlessness and recalled breathlessness and related factors. RECENT FINDINGS: Experienced breathlessne

Intraocular lens (IOL) exchange after cataract surgery is unusual but may be associated with suboptimal visual outcome. The incidence of IOL exchange has not been consistently estimated. Such information is invaluable when counseling patients prior to cataract surgery. We examined the incidence of, and indications and risk factors for, IOL exchange after cataract surgery. We also assessed visual o

The over-arching aim of the access and benefit-sharing (ABS) of genetic resources is to enable fair distribution of benefits between the users (such as universities and biotech companies) and providers (such as biodiversity rich countries) so as to both open the doors for innovation and create incentives for biodiversity conservation. Access to genetic resources is crucial for research related to

Conventional views of the police support a norm of emotion management. Aspiring police officers are taught not to show pain or fear and to display an image of control and assertion. If failing to convey such emotions officers might be considered too weak or simply not “man enough” for the job. This is also the case concerning border guarding and border police conduct. This study draws on data gath

Reliable information on solar activity over the Holocene period is important to predict the Sun in the future and to understand the mechanism behind the Sun-climate linkage. Presently, there are discrepancies in the proxy data of solar activity due to reasons that are not yet understood. This leads to major uncertainties in Holocene solar reconstructions. This PhD project aims to improve the Holoc

Kortvariga intensiva regn med varaktighet upp till en timme åren 1980–2007 från nederbördsmätare i Malmöhar analyserats för att finna intensiteter med lång återkomsttid. Oberoende observationer för olika stationer harsammanförts till en serie till vilken sannolikhetsfördelningar anpassats. Korttidsregnmätningars tillförlitlighetdiskuteras. De extrema händelserna har behandlats individuellt. För atShort-term intensive storms of duration up to an hour the years 1980–2007 from rain gauges in Malmö havebeen analyzed to find intensities of long return periods. Non-dependent observations from different stationshave been combined into a series to which probability functions have been adjusted. The extreme events havebeen investigated individually. The reliability of rain measurements is discussed

In this article we report on how 64 dentists working in a big city in southern Sweden view their profession. The dentists ranged in age from 30 to 70 years (as it was indicated in intervals of 10 years). Their professional experience ranged from 2 to 44 years (mean, 23 years). We collected their views on the ideal skills of a good dentist by means of a questionnaire. From this material we identifi
