The aim of this study was to examine pollution-induced community tolerance (PICT) of biofilm communities induced by chemical mixtures, characteristic of agricultural aquatic environments. Additionally, the use of biofilms as a natural passive sampler was investigated. In situ biofilms grown on artificial substrate for 4 to 6 weeks from sites located in agricultural areas were used to conduct a PIC

Under de senaste två åren har EU och EU-medlemsstaterna haft stora utmaningar till följd av flyktingkrisen. Brister i EU:s yttre gränskontroller har lett till att några medlemsstater, däribland Sverige, valt att införa tillfälliga inre gränskontroller. Den fria rörligheten har därmed begränsats till förmån för allmän ordning och säkerhet. Uppsatsen handlar om att undersöka om de svenska åtgärderOver the last two years, the EU and EU Member States have faced challenges as a result of the refugee crisis. Deficiencies in the EU's external borders have led to the imposition of temporary internal border controls by some Member States. Freedom of movement has thus been limited to the benefit for public order and security. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the Swedish law

This master's thesis explores the improvement of loudspeaker characteristics by using digital signal processing. The main aim of the thesis is to improve the overall audio quality with regards to limited processing power and power supply. Improving the audio quality is important since the vast expansion of the usage of loudspeakers has led to demands on cost, size and design choices all leadin

There is an increased demand for managing the complex hospital organisations in which healthcare personnel operate within, which is even more so evident from today's healthcare crisis in Sweden. Since the World Health Organisation (WHO) emphasised the importance of interprofessional collaboration in 2010, research on this area has increased. However, much of the research considers only one act

Limited-slip differentials (LSD) are normally placed in high-end and race cars to improve the handling, by reducing the differential speed and balancing the torque between the driving wheels. However, electrical-activated LSD struggles to continuously eliminate the differential speed over extended periods of time. To overcome this, BorgWarner proposed a dual-functional clutch pack, featuring two d

I denna uppsats kommer jag att titta på hur miljöorganisationers talerätt har förändrats i EU efter det att EU ratificerade Århuskonventionen. Århuskonventionen ger individer och miljöorganisationer talerätt gällande tillgång till information, rätt att delta i beslutsprocesser, men också gentemot privatpersoner eller myndigheter som strider mot den nationella miljölagstiftningen. EU har införlivatIn this thesis I will look at how access to justice for NGOs has changed in the EU after the Union became a party to the Aarhus Convention. The Aarhus Convention gives individuals and environmental NGOs access to justice regarding access to environmental information, public participation in decision-making, but also in regard to private persons or public authorities in breach of national environme

The controversy of the Swedish arms trade is expressed in the Swedish parliament as well as in the media.

Welding robots that use sensors to compensate for variations in their environment pose new requirements for programming systems and for controller architectures. Tracking sensors must be programmed with the geometry of the welds and the motions of the robot. The process monitoring system must be programmed with the required process tolerances and the type of weld. Finally, the controller must be p
