Despite the issue of greywater management gaining more importance around the world, espe-cially in developing countries, it still remains a challenge in non-sewered areas of South Afri-ca. For a semi-arid country, reusing greywater on a household level has great potential as an alternative water source if done properly. On a household level, the popular repurposing of greywater is for irrigation
The world of creating new software is currently going more and more towards being as fast and agile as possible to be able to adapt to changing customer demands. The design process of new software should reflect that, which doesn't leave much time for scheduling user tests in person. How can feedback from users be gathered in a scalable way, and the design of a product be made using a fail-fas
En morfologisk analys av ett konstprojekt som bedrevs inom ramen för den ideella föreningen Ars & Modus verksamhet mellan 2004 – 2009. Utifrån analysen dras riktlinjer upp för en pedagogisk studie. Konstprojektet skrivs först in i ett större politiskt, ekonomiskt och konstnärligt sammanhang, där konstbegreppet utvecklas och problematiseras. Därefter belyses konstens alltmer instrumentella situA morphological analysis of an art project that was active during the years 2004 through 2009 within the framework of the NGO Ars & Modus. With this analysis as a starting point a study is then outlined. First the art project is put in a wider political, economic and artistic context and the concept ”art” is further developed and problematized. Then the growing instrumentalisation of art is hi
Problem Previous research suggests that it ought to be more challenging for social enterprise to manage its stakeholder relationships. It is assumed that a social enterprise in general both have a larger amount of stakeholders compared to regular enterprises, and that there is a larger divergence in values and interest among the stakeholders. Another layer of complexity is added if the social ente
Studiens syfte var att studera chefers uppfattningar och erfarenheter av funktionen rehabkoordinator och nyttan av den utbildning som rehabkoordinatorn har genomgått. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med tio chefer inom sjukvården. Datamaterialet analyserades med tematisk analys utifrån en induktiv ansats. Fyra teman urskildes: Räddaren i nöden, Funktionen som blev en person, Förändring tar tThe aim of the study was to investigate how health care service managers perceive and experience the newly introduced function rehabilitation coordinator and the effect of the education programme. A semi-structured interview guide was used to interview ten managers. The material was analysed with an inductive approach using thematic analysis. The following four themes were identified during analys
I ett framtida samhälle som inkluderar alltmer intermittent elproduktion och mindre svängmassa är det viktigt att hitta nya, snabba frekvensreglerande resurser för att bibehålla ett stabilt elsystem med säker energileverans. Ett exempel på en sådan resurs är batterier. En teknik som har fått alltmer uppmärksamhet de senaste åren är den så kallade ''Vehicle To Grid'' (V2G) teknologiIn a future society with an increasing amount of intermittent electricity production and lower inertia, it is important to find new, fast frequency-regulating resources to maintain a stable electrical system with a safe energy supply. One example of such a resource is batteries. A technology that has received increasing attention in recent years is the so-called ''Vehicle To Grid''

Biomedical application of nanoparticles is largely associated to their fate in biological media which, in fact, is related to their surface properties. Surface functionalitzation plays a key role in determining biodegradation, cytotoxicity and biodistribution through interactions which may be meditated by the macromolecules occurring in biological media. This project is focused on the effect of di
The presence of phytate in plants-based food is considered a threat to proper nutrition in developing countries and in particular in rural areas. There is evidence of micronutrient deficiencies due to the presence of phytate in plant-based diets. People from low income households are most affected by diets rich in phytate. The aim of this study was to investigate different processes through which
In the context of increasing focus on the climate change China is being blamed for its large contribution to global CO2 emissions, which have been produced within China’s territory. However, increasing number of researches have started to argue that the developed countries should be held responsible for displacing their emissions by outsourcing pollution-heavy production to the developing countrie
This study aims to investigate whether countries succeed to reduce their contribution to global emissions when countries reach higher levels of income. As a result of rapid changes in international trade, a country’s emission responsibility goes beyond national borders, which should be adequately captured in their carbon footprint. This study discusses that the two conventional accounting measures
This thesis explores the problem of domestic violence in Ghana from a socio-legal perspective. It investigates the tensions that arise from the application of customary and state law in order to understand why domestic violence, persist and continues being prevalent in communities in Ghana.

Methodology: Quantitative methods were applied in this research. A combination of Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient, an
Many of our freshwater resources are contaminated with pollutants such as heavy metals and organophosphates, and therefore the demand for reliable and efficient methods for detection and remediation of such pollutants is increasing. One widely used method for remediation of water is through the use of engineered communities of microbes that have the ability to degrade or make the contaminating com
Titel: ”Kød og kreativitet” – visioner och verklighet: En studie om plats i skärningspunkten mellan mening, materialitet och människor Universitet: Lunds Universitet, Institutionen för Service Management och tjänstevetenskap Kurs: KSMK65 - Service Management: Examensarbete för kandidatexamen. Våren 2019 Författare: Daniela Ross & Isabella Lindkvist Jensen Handledare: Elisabeth Högdahl NyckelorThe aim of this study is to discuss how visions about places influence the physical place-development, and how people’s ability to inhabit and make use of space is affected as a consequence. A case study of Kødbyen, Copenhagen’s Meat Packing District, was carried out to research this. Research questions relate to how these place-making processes can be understood in terms of power, where some peop
The central challenge of my project had to do with transferring a medical technology device from the industrial space to a personal space. My task was to design a device for med tech company that developed an alternative way to treat a variety of illnesses. The technology works by misting a specific coolant into the nose cavity for non-medical pain relief. Right now, the company offers a range of

Denna fallstudie belyser hur ett ökat antal av godstransporter påverkar städers förmåga att skapa en hållbar citylogistik. Citylogistiken innefattar många olika intressenter som har olika mål vilket gör att utvecklandet av en hållbar citylogistik som gynnar alla blir komplext. Detta tillsammans med ökade godstransporter gör att städer står för en utmaning i att kunna tillgodose intressenterna behoThis case study highlights how a increasing amount of freight transport affects the citys ability to create an sustainable city logistics. The city logistics comprises multiple stakeholders with different visions which makes the development of an sustainable city logistics more complex. This along with a increased amount of transportations create a challenge in the ability to make the stakeholders
