Greenhouses and nursery-gardens is an important business in Sweden, covering a land area of 3,0 million square meters in 2011. The downside of this otherwise blooming business is however the use of so called PPPs, plant protection products, which is connected to it. Historically the use of PPPs has been widespread and the handling has been conducted in an off-hand way. During the post-war time the

In this thesis I explore the subject on how burial was used by Viking Age population of South-western Scania to express their social identity. As opposed to most earlier research concerning Viking Age burials I utilise regional, mourner-centred and practice-based approach. I am following observations conducted for burials in Denmark by J. Ulriksen (2011), focused on traces of deposition of burned

Currently, policy makers put high attention in supplying global energy demand by focusing on 2°C policy; global temperature anomaly based on the global mean temperature of pre-industrial era (13.7°C). How to keep the 2°C policy at global scope is the main question in climate framework. It is widely believed that primary energy resources (mainly coal, oil and natural gas) with focus on shale gas re

Children affected by the multisystem genetic disorder Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome look prematurely aged, suffer from elderly-related conditions and die during adolescence due to cardiovascular complications. The cause of the disease is single point gain-of-function mutations in the LMNA gene, which encodes the lamin A and lamin C proteins, major components of the nuclear lamina. These mut

How will baby fish react to global warming? As most people have been aware of, global warming is just one of many consequences of climate change and increasing CO2-levels in the atmosphere. The oceans are experts at absorbing energy, which makes the ocean temperature rise. In many parts of the world, especially Australia, the sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are increasing rapidly today. This is e

Every fourth year all large companies are by law required to present an energy audit. This can be done as one large report or by presenting smaller reports during the four-year period. Nymölla Mill has decided to publish short overviewing reports every year and combining

The fact that solitary migratory birds can find their migration routes has indicated the possibility that a genetic basis may be involved in determining the route of migration. Researchers have also found evidence to investigate this hypothesis in various ways. The focal species of this study is the willow warbler (Phylloscopus trochilus), which has three described subspecies (trochilus, acredula

This master’s thesis focuses on pedagogy and aspects of learning and remembering within guided museum tours for people with dementia. We explore in what way learning and remembering are focused on and triggered during those tours and with the help of which pedagogical means. Furthermore, we discuss what place these tours have within the museum as an institution. In order to examine our questions a

The product price given when producing offshore is not the entire truth and more companies decide to move their offshore production nearshore (Stentoft et. al, 2016). To measure the actual cost of producing many more parameters than visible costs needs to be taken account for. There are advantages as well as risks with outsourcing and costs can increase with distance such as quality issues, freigh

Det här examensarbetet handlar om att undersöka hur framkomligheten ser ut i korsningen Karlsrovägen-Västrevångleden i Halmstad kommun. Det är en trevägskorsning utan någon signalreglering och, cykel- och gångtrafiken är separerad från biltrafiken. Innan fokus läggs på själva korsningen presenteras kunskap om hur man går tillväga för att undersöka framkomlighet och trafiksäkerhet samt innebördenThis thesis is about investigating what the passability looks like at the crossing Karlsrovägen-Västrevångleden in Halmstad municipality. It is a three-way intersection without any signal control and, bicycle and pedestrian traffic is separated from car traffic. Before focusing on the crossing itself, information is presented on how to proceed to investigate passability and traffic safety, as wel

I takt med den ständigt pågående tekniska utvecklingen ökar även efterfrågan av digitalisering av allt fler funktioner i samhället. Många processer, transaktioner och handlingar som tidigare skedde på plats och genom möten sker idag digitalt. Bankärenden är ett av många exempel på detta, vilket tydliggjordes i Internet Stiftelsens årliga undersökning 2019, Svenskarna och Internet, då 91% av svensk

Vår hud är hem för en stor grupp av mikroorganismer, hudens mikroflora, som påverkar vår hälsa och vårt välbefinnande. Ändå finns det många aspekter av detta ämne som ännu är outforskade. Detta projekt syftade till att optimera en metod för analys av hudens mikroflora och effekten av hudvårdsprodukter på hudens mikroflora, från provtagning och provberedning till analys med kvantitativ polymeraskedOur skin is home to a vast community of microorganisms, the skin micro flora, which affect our health and well-being. Yet, there are many aspects of this topic that are still unexplored. This project aimed to optimize a method for analysis of the skin micro flora and the effect of skin care products on the skin micro flora, from sampling and sample preparation to analysis with quantitative polymer

Alla påverkas av cancer, direkt eller indirekt och under de senaste decennierna har antalet cancerfall ökat. Med strålbehandling kan man bekämpa cancern genom att bestråla tumören med joniserande strålning samtidigt som man försöker skydda omkringliggande frisk vävnad i den mån det går. Med dagens teknik kan man uppnå bättre tumörkontroll samtidigt som den friska vävnaden kan skyddas i större utrsBackground/Purpose: The aperture shape controller (ASC) was introduced in the Eclipse treatment planning system to reduce plan complexity by counteracting irregular multileaf collimator (MLC) shapes. This should lead to decreased difference between the planned and measured dose distribution. The ASC was investigated to examine if it could limit plan complexity so that the planned and measured dose

As the world is changing rapidly in many ways, competition is getting increasingly fierce amongst manufacturing firms. As such, it has become more and more important for companies to properly understand the needs of their customers in order to provide enough value to be sufficiently competitive. Providing delivery and installation services which might’ve been viewed as necessary evils before have

Popular science summary: Do bacteria survive in humans by eating the defense molecules during the course of infection? Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is a pathogen that can be found in the human gut which causes a wide range of infections including urinary tract infections, cardiovascular infections and bacteremia (presence of bacterial cells in blood stream). These bacteria can also be fou

Det här examensarbetet i geologi är en studie av ökensediment. Det är tvärvetenskapligt mellan geologi och ekologi. Sedimenten som har studerats kommer från en statlig försöksodling, El Hicha, på saltstäppen utanför El Akarit, 45 km norr om Gabes i södra Tunisien. Första steget i studien var att ta sediementprover på försöksodlingen där Ministry of Rural Engineering, Water and Forest odlar träd oc

Wind power developments in cold and icing conditions pose new challenges to the wind power industry. Icing of wind turbines cause safety hazards, production losses and increased loads. This means that there is a need to develop a technique to quantify the icing climatology and corresponding eects on wind turbines to enable large scale wind power developments in the windy, sparesly populated areas

Läckage och spill från cisterner utgör de vanligaste orsakerna till förorening av grundvatten med petroleumprodukter. Bensin och dieselföroreningar sprids inte enbart längs grundvattenytan utan lösta beståndsdelar kan transporteras med grundvattnet relativt långa sträckor. Flyktiga kolväten förflyttar sig i den vattenmättade zonen beroende på föroreningens utbredning och fördelning. Flera tusen aSpills and leaks from storage tanks constitute the most common groundwater contamination source with petroleum products. Gasoline and diesel pools do not spread extensively along the water table, but dissolved constituents are transported in groundwater on relatively larger distances. Volatile hydrocarbons migrate in the vadose zone dependently on distribution and extent of the dissolved and pure

Detta arbete har som syfte att besvara två frågeställningar - hur ser lagstiftningen ut för miljökonsekvensbeskrivningar för planer och program i Sverige, och vilka krav kan ställas utifrån denna, samt hur dessa krav har uppfattats i genomförda miljökonsekvensbeskrivningar för planer och program? Detta görs genom en genomgång av lagtext, förarbeten, praxis och litteratur på området, en granskning This work aims to answer two questions - how does the legislation for environmental impact assessments for plans and programs in Sweden look like, and what demands can be made from this, and how are these requirements perceived in conducted environmental impact assessments for plans and programs? This is done through a review of the statutory text, legislative history, case law and literature, an
