Background: A common trend in the research on 2nd generation bioethanol is the focus on intensifying the process and increasing the concentration of water insoluble solids (WIS) throughout the process. However, increasing the WIS content is not without problems. For example, the viscosity of pretreated lignocellulosic materials is known to increase drastically with increasing WIS content. Further,

Klimatkompensation genom skogsplantering i Globala Syd har blivit ett allt mer vanligt sätt för företag att åtgärda sina växthusgasutsläpp, och därigenom sälja produkter och tjänster med netto noll utsläpp. I Sverige går snabbmatsrestaurangen MAX Burgers AB ett steg längre. De kompenserar 10 % mer än vad de släpper ut genom carbon dioxide removal (CDR), och hävdar därför att de har en "klimatCarbon offsetting through forest sequestration in the Global South has become an increasingly common way for companies to mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions and thereby sell products and services with net zero emissions. In Sweden, fast food company MAX Burgers AB goes even further. They offset 10 % more than what they emit through carbon dioxide removal (CDR), thus claiming to have a “climat

Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) is a chronic disease characterized by the inability of the pancreas to produce sufficient amounts of insulin. Daily compensation of the deficiency requires 4-6 insulin injections to be taken daily, the aim of this insulin therapy being to maintain normoglycemia - i.e., a blood glucose level between 4 and 7mmol/l. To determine the quantity and timing of th

Article 28 is one of the key Treaty Articles concerning the integration of national markets. But finding the right way to apply Article 28 is far from being easy, as history shows. The ECJ has not been consistent in its case law on Article 28 EC. The main problem in its approach in the application of Article 28 has been the wideness of the Dassonville-formula, which by its wording catches smallest

Article 4 of the Community Trade Mark Regulation (CTMR) defines signs of which a Community trade mark may consist in a very wide manner, expressly including the shape of goods or of their packaging. However, with regard to such shapes, the Regulation in its Article 7(1)(e) introduces a, in comparison with other signs, additional ground for refusal that has to be overcome when seeking registration.

The effect of three different nitrogen sources on the growth of external ectomycorrhizal mycelium was studied in Perspex micorocosms. Nonsterile peat was used as substrate. Five different fungal isolates growing in symbiosis with pine seedlings were investigated: two isolates of Paxillus involutus, one of Suillus bovinus and two unidentified ectomycorrhizal fungi isolated from ectomycorrhizal root

Background and purpose The number of national arthroplasty registries is increasing. However, the methods of registration, classification, and analysis often differ. Methods We combined data from 3 Nordic knee arthroplasty registers, comparing demographics, methods, and overall results. Primary arthroplasties during the period 1997-2007 were included. Each register produced a dataset of predefined

When a child's parents are divorced or separated and violence has occurred between them, several problems can arise in custody cases. The purpose of this thesis is to study these problems and the possibilities to solve them. The first problem I study in this thesis is the different parties' rights which often rise in opposition to one other. These rights refers to the abused parent's r

Projects in the space domain are extremely complex and often characterized as being “one-off”, which makes it very difficult to make good predictions on future developments. Furthermore, space projects are also associated with state-of-the-art technology, high costs and long development time. Risks are therefore a threat to project success because they may have negative effects on the project cost

Background When projects and programmes are becoming ever more present in many of today’s organizations, these are also playing an increasingly important role in implementing the corporate strategy. This thesis is focusing on internal change initiatives, named BT initiatives, which aims at implementing substantial changes to the current organization.

Although much research has been conducted regarding the uneven distribution of land in developing countries, such work tends to focus on rural land dispossession. In turn, land inequality in urban property markets of vulnerable economies remains somewhat understudied. Based on a case-study of Asunción, Paraguay, this thesis employs a Marxian political economy framework to investigate the developme

När föräldrar väljer att separera från varandra aktualiseras många rättsliga frågor som berör barnet. Föräldrar kan befinna sig i en konfliktfylld situation. Ibland kan konflikten mellan föräldrarna vara så djup att de inte kan komma överens om vem som ska ha vårdnaden om barnen, var barnen ska bo eller hur umgänget med en av föräldrarna ska se ut.

Wastewater from pharmaceutical industries can sometimes contain substances that could cause complications in the receiving wastewater treatment plant. This master thesis is about a phar-maceutical company and the wastewater from it. The company (McNeil) will introduce new products, and this will result in new wastewater streams with unknown properties. It is crucial that the new streams do not cau

Bakgrund: Ikea har under en längre tid upplevt problem med felaktiga kapaciteter registrerade i deras system. Idag finns det inget gemensamt arbetssätt för att registrera och uppdatera kapacitetsinformation och därför reflekterar inte informationen i systemet leverantörernas verkliga kapaciteter. Detta gör det svårt för företaget att kunna ha en överblick över kapaciteterna och hur de är allokeradBackground:IKEA has, during a long time, experienced problems with incorrect capacities registered in their system. There is no standardized way of working with registering and updating the information regarding capacity today. Therefore, the information regarding the suppliers’ capacities does not reflect the reality. Furthermore, the company does not have a clear picture of how the capacities ar

Sedan tillkomsten av den nuvarande rättegångsbalken på 1940-talet har utgångspunkten i svensk rätt varit att bevisprövningen ska vara fri och inte styrd av legala normer. Detta hindrade emellertid inte lagstiftaren från att i förarbetena ställa upp krav på att bevisprövningen skulle vara objektiv och analytisk. Som en följd därav utvecklades ett antal bevisprövningsmetoder i den juridiska doktrineSince the creation of the present Code of Judicial Procedure in the 1940s the basis in Swedish law has been a free sifting of evidence, which is not governed by legal norms. This, however, did not prevent the legislator from demanding in the preparatory works that the sifting of evidence should be objective and analytical. As a consequence thereof, a number of methods for sifting the evidence deve

Purpose: This work examined the feasibility of flattening filter free (FFF) volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer. The aim was to investigate the potential gain in treatment time per fraction for extreme hypofractionation of prostate cancer, while preserving or improving the treatment plan quality and radiation delivery quality. The impact of intr
