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

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

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

Att en parts språkbrister vid utsagor inför rätten kan inverka negativt på bevisvärderingen av dessa har berörts i doktrin. Någon utförligare behandling av det potentiella problemområdet har emellertid uteblivit i juridisk doktrin. Uppsatsens syfte är i enlighet därmed att undersöka om och hur en parts språkbruk inför rätten kan inverka på rättens bevisvärdering av den muntliga utsagan. För att upIn Swedish legal literature it has been mentioned that shortages in the defendant's or the plaintiff's use of the spoken language before the court, risk having a negative impact on the subsequent evaluation of evidence. However, this risk has not been subject to any thorough examination. With that in mind, the purpose of this thesis is to examine if and how shortages in spoken language of

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

Alzheimers sjukdom är den vanligaste orsaken till demens och omkring 100 000 svenskar beräknas lida av sjukdomen. Runt om i världen beräknas ungefär 50 miljoner människor lida av Alzheimers sjukdom. En peptid som är inblandad i sjukdomen är Amyloidβ som kan vara olika lång beroende på vilka APP-sekretas som klyver Amyloid-βproteinprekursor. I den här studien har de peptider med 40 (Amyloidβ40), re

Generationsskiften i familjeägda företag är mycket viktiga för de inblandade parterna men kan vara problematiska. För att uppnå bästa möjliga utfall vid ett generationsskifte är det viktigt att planera i god tid. Familjeföretag är ofta fåmansföretag och generationsskiften av dessa företag omfattas av 3:12-reglerna. Enligt dessa regler har det varit skattemässigt förmånligare att avyttra sitt bolagGeneration changes in family firms are very important for the concerned parties but can be problematic. To achieve the best results for a generation change it is important to plan well in advance. Family firms are often close companies and generation changes of these companies are subject to certain statutory provisions. According to these provisions it has been fiscally advantageous to dispose a

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

Gällande entreprenadarbeten torde det vara vanligt förekommande att beställaren påtalar fel som denne vill att entreprenören ska avhjälpa. För att en part ska kunna aktualisera en påföljd vid påstått kontraktsbrott krävs enligt branschavtalet AB 04, precis som enligt allmän förmögenhetsrätt i övrigt, att en reklamation företas. Syftet med uppsatsen är därför att undersöka hur beställarens påkallanWhen it comes to contract work in the construction sector it is common that the client points out faults that he wants the contractor to rectify. For a party to be able to enforce a sanction in the event of an alleged breach of contract, the branch regulation AB 04 prescribes, just as according to general property law, that a complaint is made. The purpose of the thesis is therefore to investigate

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

The construction industry has always been changing and adapting to new innovations, values, requirements, and goals from the outside world. These days are no different. The climate change is still mostly relevant and everything we could do to mitigate this should be applied in the construction sector. It is nowadays a known fact that buildings represent a significant portion of the carbon dioxide

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
