Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker en direkt aktion mot brännvinsbrännerier som genomfördes i Karlshamn, november 1853. Den arbetande befolkningen i staden var vid denna tid mycket upprörda över det faktum att de lokala brännvinsbrännerierna fick fortsätta att köpa upp och bränna spannmål och potatis, trots den ständigt ökande bristen på livsmedel.

The increase of shrub extent in arid and semi-arid environments is reducing the species richness all over the globe. This process of shrub encroachment was found to result from changes in anthropogenic land use, especially from too high or too low grazing intensity. The Great Alvar on the island Öland, Sweden, is a unique grassland ecosystem with a high species richness. Changes in land use patte

Bilars globala miljöpåverkan är substantiell och kommer alltid vara i fokus när man diskuterar klimatförändringar och vårt koldioxidavtryck. Eko-körning har länge bara varit ett givet antal av riktlinjer åt förare, om till exempel mjuk acceleration. Vi ville utforska användningen av maskininlärning för att identifiera och lära okända körmönster som kan påverka bränsleåtgången. Vi ville också utfThe global environmental impact made by cars is substantial and will always be in focus when discussing climate change and our carbon footprint. Eco-driving has long been a given set of general rules for drivers to follow such as smooth acceleration. We wanted to explore the use of machine learning to identify and learn unknown driving patterns that may affect the fuel consumption. We also wanted

Flera av läroplanens formuleringar är vaga och lämnas okommenterade av Skolverket. Det skapar en osäkerhet om hur lärare förväntas tolka innehållet och arbeta med det. Vi har fokuserat denna studie på den vaga frasen ”ur flera perspektiv” som återfinns i kunskapskravet om litterär analys i kursen Svenska 3. Vi anser att en praxis ännu inte har etablerats och vi vill bidra till dokumentation av den

I Sverige finns tusentals nedlagda soptippar, även kallade deponier. Deponier kan vara en miljörisk då regn och ytvatten tränger genom deponin och lakar ur föroreningar från avfallet som sedan kan spridas i miljön. När avfallet bryts ned kan dessutom gaser bildas som kan resultera i brand eller explosion. Under 2007-2008 inventerade Helsingborgs stad sina nedlagda deponier. Vid inventeringen gjord
