Bussbolags miljöpåverkan - Hur kan verksamheter och kommun arbeta för en effektivare minskning av miljöpåverkan? Miljöpåverkan innebär all förändring ett företag utgör som påverkar miljön och verksamheten ett bussbolag driver innebär i de flesta fall stor negativ miljöpåverkan. Genom ett företags egna initiativ till ett förbättrat miljöarbete kan miljöpåverkan minska men även kommuner kan bidra tiThis study is on behalf of Röke Buss and aims to identify the significant environmental impacts of the company as well as to review the environmental requirements posted by public buyers. The study is divided in two sections; the first section is a document analysis that analyses RFQs (request of quotation) of school bus services from the municipalities within Scania to identify its environmental

New legislation, rules and regulations concerning food waste creation mostly aim at private households and not the industry sector. This thesis is broaching on the issue of food waste within the food service sector to tackle the problem on a managerial level. The research question tries to answer in which way the food service sector, with special focus on Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs), can redu

This thesis was written in collaboration between Faiveley Nordic in Landskrona and the Division of Production and Materials Engineering at Lund University. It was set out to find improvements or cost reductions of the overhaul process at Faiveley. The overhaul process at Faiveley is a process were used and worn train brakes are taken apart and overhauled for further use. To achieve this goal, amon

För att kunna ta sig an klimathotet behövs kunskap om hur vi mest effektivt kommunicerar information relaterat till detta. Tidigare forskning har visat att människor tenderar att ta till sig olika typer av argument beroende på politiska faktorer och ålder. Denna studie syftade till att undersöka hur detta ter sig i Sverige. Frågeställningen var vilken typ av inramning av klimatinformation som föreIn order to address the threat of climate change knowledge on how to communicate messages of climate change effectively is required. Previous research has shown that people prefer different kinds of arguments depending on political and age-related factors. The purpose of this study was to research what kind of framing of climate change information that Swedish people preferred depending on their a

Detta examensarbete var en del i ett forskningsprojekt som utfördes vid avdelningen för maskinkonstruktion vid Lunds tekniska högskola och gick ut på att studera hur metodiken kring produktutveckling används hos ett antal företag i praktiken och jämföra detta med metodiken från litteraturen och det som lärs ut vid Lunds tekniska högskola, för att identifiera brister i modellerna och fungera som etThis Master´s Thesis is part of a larger research project carried out at the Division of Machine Design, Department of Design Science, LTH, and is about studying the product development methodologies applied in the industry and compare these to the methodologies described in the literature and taught at LTH. The first part of the assignment consisted in studying the existing methodologies about pr

Background: Postoperative pneumonia is an acknowledged risk following surgical procedures, for which there is currently no prophylactic treatment. Different methods have been tried with varying results, such as the administration of antibiotics or chlorhexidine to reduce pathogens in the oral flora. This study explores a prophylactic oral treatment with a suspension of two lactobacillus-strains, L

The aim of this qualitative field study was to investigate and analyse Samburu men’s perspective on Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in Samburu, Kenya. The chosen subjects to examine were the men’s perspective of the practice of FGM/C itself, the process of change of mind and their involvement in ending FGM/C. To achieve this aim, in-depth interviews were made with 10 men in the surroundi

This report is a fire safety evaluation of Västralid nursing home in Olofström. The object consist of three connected housing bodies, first built in the 1970’s. At first, the buildings were used as regular apartments, but they were converted into nursing apartments for elderly people in the 1990’s. In the report, an analysis of fire scenarios are compared to egress scenarios to evaluate the perso

I dagens samhälle finns det så mycket information tillgängligt, hela nätverk av information, men hur tolkar man den informationen. Det är för mycket att läsa all data i oändliga lister, följa datarelationerna och analysera det i hopp om att det uppfyller vad man behöver. Så denna uppsatsen utforskar hur man mer effektivt kan förmedla information genom grafiska visualiseringar. Projektet uforskar oIn this day and age with so much information available, networks of information, but how do you interpret that information. It is just too much effort to read it all in endless lists, following data relations and analysing it in hopes of fulfilling your use cases. The goal of this thesis is to explore how to more effectively convey information to people through visualizations. It explores differen

The aim with this thesis is to broaden the understanding of women’s experiences with separatism in the Swedish Facebook group “Växtgäris”. There are few studies written about the importance of separatism for women, and even less about separatism within social networks. I have therefore interviewed four members from Växtgäris who all claim the need of having a place free from men. Of respect, this

Minskat matsvinn i skånska kommuner. Enligt direktiv från EU ska resurser hanteras hållbart och avfall förebyggas. Detta till trots finns många förbättringar att nå i skånska kommuners verksamheter. Med målsättning att väcka kommuners intresse till att minimera avfall utvecklades pilotprojektet Översta steget i samarbete mellan Hållbarhet Skåne, Länsstyrelsen Skåne och konsultbolaget Marla MilAccording to EU directive 2008/98/EG all member states are obliged to strive for a sustainable use of resources. To achieve this, Sweden, as well as other states, have developed waste treatment plans to ensure that waste is being responsibly treated. However, the most crucial step is to prevent unnecessary recourses to be used in the first place. In an attempt to follow the directive in southern S

In a recent experiment, the partial half-life (t1/2) of proton emission from the Iπ = 19/2- state of 53Co was accurately measured. A previous estimate is t1/2 ~ 17 s. The purpose of this thesis was to explain this decay and give a theoretical estimate for the dominating hindrance factors. The angular momentum J in 53Co is coupled to J = 6 for the neutrons, and J = 7/2 for the protons. All of this

NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spektroskopi, är en omfattande teknik som har många applikationer inom kemin. Det kan användas inom organisk kemi som stöd och underlag till strukturbestämning av molekyler, men framför allt finns det många tillämpningar inom biokemi och molekylärbiologi där tekniken utnyttjas; NMR är mycket användbart för att studera biomolekylers strukturer och biologiska processThis study aims to present a protocol for pH determination in biomolecular NMR samples by evaluating the pH dependence of chemical shifts in the most commonly reported buffer molecules in the BioMagResBank (BMRB). Whilst there exists multiple methods and protocols for intrinsic NMR pH determination and various molecules have been proposed as pH indicators, there is no method to determine the actua

Ensuring close control of critical quality attributes (CQAs), such as post-translational modifications (PTMs), in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is essential for maintaining function and batch homogeneity in large-scale production. Common PTMs include deamidation, fragmentation, oxidation, charge variants, and glycosylations. This study aimed to evaluate CQA variations and correlate the

As society's capacity for data collection increases, the need for automated processing techniques becomes increasingly relevant. One way to evaluate data is to find the subset which does not conform to normal behaviour, i.e., anomalies. If the data is in the form of trajectories in some space, the algorithms used to find these are trajectory anomaly detection algorithms. In this paper, the tra

The NEO model, developed by Lindström (2019) for paperboard, is a non-linear material model that utilizes empirically based constitutive relations with switches to mimic elastic-plastic responses. Due to the explicit definition of the constitutive relations, the NEO model does not require a constitutive equilibrium loop. This, in addition to modeling flexibility from the switches, poses the NEO mo
