The consumption and production of livestock have a negative impact on the environment and climate. In many Western countries, the consumption is particularly high and it is expected to increase globally. This increase will lead to further pressure on already stressed planetary boundaries. Recently edible insects have been proposed to be an alternative to conventional meat, because they have a lowe

Popular AbstractAvhandlingens titel Den goda viljans paradoxer skall förstås på följande sätt. I utredningar och propositioner hävdar utredare, skolpolitiker och administratörer att lärarna skall bemyndigas, det vill säga de skall tillskrivas ett mandat i skolan. Detta mandat skall ge lärarna ett visst självständigt beslutsfattande i en ny mötesform som kallas arbetsenheter. Denna mötesform stipulThe theory and practice of reform as reflected in teachers’ experience of meetings in schools. This empirical study has been carried out in a coeducational school for pupils up to the age of 16 ("grundskola") during the school years 1988-89 up to and including 1991/92. In this study 26 teachers and five school administrators - head teachers and deputy-head teachers - have been interviewed. Person

Efforts to regulate transnational corporations in the context of human rights are not new. They traced back to the early 1970s, when the United Nations first initiated attempts to study the impact of transnational corporations on the international development process and proposed a United Nations Code of Conduct on Transnational Corporations, an initiative that ultimately stalled. A renewed attemp

Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately one in ten individuals born with a uterus, remains widely unknown despite its high prevalence. This thesis conceptualizes endometriosis as a “silent disease” characterized by both physical and social invisibility. Drawing on a social constructivist perspective and Harding’s (2008) feminist standpoint theory, the study examines h

This study examines the ecological risks and benefits of Bacillus thuringiensis-crops (Bt crops) through a systematic literature review. The aim is to analyse what ecological risks and benefits are highlighted in current research on Bt crops. The study focuses especially on insect resistance, effects on non-target organisms, and ecological effects in comparison with conventional farming systems. T

We measured CO2 and CH4 fluxes using chambers and eddy covariance (only CO2) from a moist moss tundra in Svalbard. The average net ecosystem exchange (NEE) during the summer (9 June–31 August) was negative (sink), with −0.139 ± 0.032 µmol m−2 s−1 corresponding to −11.8 g C m−2 for the whole summer. The cumulated NEE over the whole growing season (day no. 160 to 284) was −2.5 g C m−2. The CH4 flux

We report on precise Doppler measurements of L231-32 (TOI-270), a nearby M dwarf (d = 22 pc, M = 0.39 M, R = 0.38 R), which hosts three transiting planets that were recently discovered using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). The three planets are 1.2, 2.4, and 2.1 times the size of Earth and have orbital periods of 3.4, 5.7, and 11.4 d. We obtained 29 high-resolution opti

Entrepreneurial universities contribute directly and indirectly to supporting all stages of entrepreneurship. The challenge for entrepreneurial universities is how they can best support academic entrepreneurs through these stages of entrepreneurship. This has led to the creation of different and often ad hoc organizational units within an entrepreneurial university. The organizational challenge fo

Popular Abstract in Swedish Streptococcus pyogenes Människan är ständigt koloniserad av en mängd olika mikroorganismer. De flesta bakterier är ofarliga och en del av dem är faktiskt nödvändiga för oss, t.ex. de tarmbakterier som hjälper oss att producera vitaminer. Grupp A streptokocker (GAS) eller Streptococcus pyogenes, är en av de vanligaste sjukdomsframkallande bakterierna hos människan. De kaWe have found that a set of group A streptococcal strains, primarily associated with skin infections, express surface-associated M proteins that bind plasminogen and plasmin with high affinity. The binding is mediated by a common 13 amino acid internal repeated sequence located in the NH2-terminal surface-exposed portion of these M proteins. It could be demonstrated that plasminogen, absorbed by t

Reducing the risk exposure in investment portfolios is a constant topic in financial literature. This thesis aims to discuss and compare the risk level in portfolios of only Eastern or only Western European market indices by studying the correlation within each one of the portfolios. The correlation is estimated with two different methods: the traditional time-series and Solnik and Roulet’s (2000)

Den svenska lagen på upphandlingsområdet för den klassiska sektorn, lagen om offentlig upphandling (LOU), bygger på upphandlingsdirektiv grundande på EU-fördragets bestämmelser om fri rörlighet för varor och tjänster. Rättsmedelsdirektivet, direktiv 89/665/EEG, som syftar till att säkerställa efterlevanden av upphandlingsreglerna, tillkom i början av 90-talet. Direktivet lämnade dock stort utrymmeThe Swedish law on procurement is based on Community Directives on public procurement establishing fundamental EU Treaty principles such as the principles of free movement of goods and services. The Remedies Directive (89/665/EEC), entering into force in the beginning of the 90´s, was adopted to ensure that effective and rapid remedies are available to aggrieved bidders. However, the directive let

Wildfires are increasing around the world and unlike building evacuations, the wildland urban interface (WUI) evacuations consider vehicle movement alongside the behaviour of wildfires. Tourists, as a diverse population, further complicate WUI evacuations due to factors such as language barriers, unfamiliarity with the area, varying levels of risk awareness, and the lack of access to vehicles. Nev

The purpose with this project was to create future self-service points for Skånetrafiken. The ticket machines that are in use today are difficult to interact with and excluding to people who are sight impaired or uses a wheelchair. Since Skånetrafiken are going to implement new self-service solutions in 2019 they want suggestions on how it could be designed. We thought that this project was an exc

Framställningen utgår från frågeställningen hur kallelse till bolagsstämma påverkar bolagsstämmans beslutskompetens. Kallelsen ska innehålla ett förslag till dagordning. Dagordningen i kallelsen har en begränsande funktion för stämmans beslutskompetens genom bestämmelsen i 7 kap. 26 § ABL, vilken föreskriver att stämman inte får fatta beslut i ärenden som inte angivits i dagordningen. Stämman är äThis essay deals with the question to which degree the notice of a general meeting of shareholders limits the meetings powers to make decisions. According to the Companies Act (hereinafter referred to as “ABL”) chapter 7 section 24 the notice must propose, in an agenda, the items which are meant to be dealt with at the general meeting. As a general rule the meeting does not have the power to make

The national day of Australia is Australia Day; a contentious public holiday that sparks a national debate on identity and multiculturalism every year. There are many different narratives that make up the Australian story, which encapsulates Australia’s diverse and multicultural history. Media plays a pivotal role in the representation of the national narrative; however, evidence of systemic power

The small protein α-synuclein is strongly associated with Parkinson’s disease. This protein is found in inclusion bodies, named lewy bodies inside neurons of people suffering from the disease. α-synuclein is very abundant in the human brain, and its normal function is still elusive and unclear. The factors that trigger the accumulation and fibrillation of this protein into pathogenic inclusion bod

The main purpose of this study is to map out collaborative crime prevention measures performed by Landskrona’s municipal and police authorities to reduce the incidence of non-domestic violence. These measures have been compared with the findings of previous reports and similar studies on the prevention of violent crime and public violence. While the study was performed from a sociology of law per
