Vatten är en ständigt viktig resurs och med torrare väder runt om i världen, även i Sverige, finns en risk att för låga vattennivåer för att tillfredsställa behoven för bland annat hushåll, djur och industrier i framtiden. Industrier som producerar färsk frukt och grönsaker har hög vattenförbrukning och nästan allt processvatten används i sköljningsprocessen. För att minska vattenförbrukningen harWater is a resource of importance and with drier weather around the world, including Swe-den, there is a risk of too low levels of water to satisfy for instance households, animals and industries in the future. Fresh-cut fruit and vegetable industries are water intense and almost all process water is used in the washing process. To decrease the water consumption recircu-lation of wastewater has be

Forskningsmetoderna är experiment som undersöker fem övningar för improvisation i ensemble och hur digitala verktyg kan användas i dessa metoder samt kvalitativa intervjuer där urvalet är fem ensemblelärare som jobbar på folkhögskolor inom pop och rock. Experimenten har utThe purpose of this study is to explore how digitals tools can be used as part of teaching improvisation within an ensemble. The research methods used are experiments that examine five different exercises for improvising within an ensemble context and how they may be developed by the use of digital tools. The experiments have been conducted by us, the writers of this study, and they have been supe
När grundläggningen för en byggnad ska dimensioneras är snittkrafter och sättningar som kommer att uppstå i konstruktionen av stor betydelse. Det finns därför ett behov av att kunna beräkna dessa krafter och sättningar på ett säkert och relativt enkelt sätt.
Idag talas det allt mer om de klimatutmaningarna vi står inför. Utmaningarna innebär ytterligare insatser för att det ska vara möjligt att uppnå den utsläppsminskning som krävs. Det nationella miljökvalitetsmålet Begränsad klimatpåverkan ska verka vägledande i Sveriges miljöarbete för alla samhällsnivåer, inklusive Sveriges kommuner. Därför har kommunerna en central roll och ett ansvar att bryta nThe challenge of climate change is highly contemporary topic. Further efforts are required to enable the adequate reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The national environment quality objective Begränsad klimatpåverkan (limited climate influence) is aimed to act as guidance for Sweden’s environmental efforts on all levels, including local governments. Local governments have a central role and re
Increased incidence and severity of Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) is of major concern. However, by minimizing known risk factors, the incidence can be decreased. The aim of this investigation was to calculate the incidence and assess risk factors for CDI in our population. A 1-year prospective population-based nationwide study in Iceland of CDIs was carried out. For risk factor evaluatio

Artificial groundwater recharge is commonly used for drinking water supply. The resulting water quality is highly dependent on the raw water quality. In many cases, pre-treatment is required. Pre-treatment improves the drinking water quality, although how and to what extent it affects the subsequent pond water quality and infiltration process, is still unknown. We evaluated two treatment systems b
