Kan slam från vattenrening återanvändas hos vattenverken för en mer hållbar dricksvattenproduktion? I takt med att befolkningen ökar, ökar även behovet av dricksvatten. Hur ska man möta det här behovet på ett hållbart sätt? Jo, genom att återanvända slam – en restprodukt från dricksvattenproduktionen. I Sverige används både ytvatten från sjöar och grundvatten för att tillgodose befolkningens be-Drinking water is crucial in our everyday life. As with many other processes, it is important to produce water of drinking quality in a sustainable manner. This can occur by e.g., decreasing the amount of chemicals in the process. When producing drinking water, coagulation and flocculation are common processes. Briefly, coagulation is the process when negatively charged organic matter is destabili

Den moderna arbetsplatsen är i konstant förändring, varav nya krav ideligen ställs på såväl individen som organisationen. Behovet av engagerade medarbetare med förmågan att utveckla och leda sig själva anses vara en förutsättning för framgång, samtidigt som sociala relationer blivit allt viktigare på arbetsplatsen. Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka sambanden mellan självledarskap, socialt stöToday’s modern workplace is one of constant change, which continuously places new demands on both individuals and organizations. The need for engaged employees with the ability to develop and lead themselves is a prerequisite for success, all the while social relationships have become increasingly more important in the workplace. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship betwee

Småhus avser friliggande en- och tvåbostadshus samt par-, rad- och kedjehus. Småhusbostäder är vanligt förekommande i Sverige men de senaste åren har nybyggnationen av dessa bostäder legat på en oförändrad nivå samtidigt som antalet nybyggda bostäder i flerbostadshus ökat kraftigt. Andelen nybyggda småhus har således minskat de senaste åren och bakgrunden för arbetet har därför varit att besvara fSingle-family housing is a relatively common type of housing in Sweden. Even though the demand for this type of housing is higher than the supply, the share of new construction is decreasing in favor of multi-family housing. There has been a significant increase in new housing construction as of late, however the amount of new single-family housing has remained constant. The purpose of this paper

Vad är det egentligen som avgör vilka som får barn och vilka som blir utan? Hur tidigt kan man avgöra om en behandling kommer lyckas? För varje år som går är det fler och fler par som vill men inte kan få barn och därför söker hjälp med provrörsbefruktning. Bara i Sverige har antalet behandlingar per år ökat från 3 000 behandlingar år 1990 till hela 22 000 år 2020. Alla söker de samma sak: ett litAs more and more In Vitro Fertilizaiton (IVF) treatments are performed each year, there is a need to better predict the outcomes of different stages of the treatment and hence get a better understanding of which hormonal and physical parameters affect the treatment outcome and in what way. In this study, the effect of interaction between baseline AMH (anti-mullerian hormone) and DFI (DNA fragmenta

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

Vitamin A deficiency affects approximately 30% of children under 5 years old globally, with Bolivia showing persistent rates despite intervention efforts. High-altitude environments like La Paz present unique challenges for nutrient-rich crop production, mostly due to harsh growing conditions and limited infrastructure. This study investigated wether targeted modifications of hydroponic substrates

The integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power is steadily increasing, which introduces challenges such as voltage fluctuations, reduced system stability, and lower power quality. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can support the grid by providing services such as frequency regulation and peak shaving, contributing to a more stable and energy-efficient power system.

This thesis investigates what drives people to use credit-style Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) services, focusing on Klarna users in Sweden. Drawing on behavioral economics, it tests whether having a present-biased time preference (a strong preference for immediate rewards) can predict a person’s use of Klarna’s “Pay Later” and “Installments” features. To explore this, a cross-sectional survey (N =100)

With increasing country-level gender equality, country-level gender differences in personality are found to increase. This is known as the Gender-Equality-Personality-Paradox (GEPP). Possibly, the GEPP is a methodological artefact. So far, the personality trait scoring method has not been investigated as a potential source of the GEPP. Three kinds of scores were investigated in the present study:

The purpose with this qualitative text analysis was to study how the sex roles of children are presented in children's books published in 2004 in comparison with children's books published 1972-74. The focus was to find patterns and differences. The study embraces eight books intended for children aged 5-9. The main results of the study showed that the girls were described to have a great

Unlike previous research, this thesis considers the possibility of regarding the morning prayers in Swedish schools as preaching, rather than teaching. 28 morning prayers, delivered in the church of S:t Johannes in the city of Malmö during 1939-1954 by the religious teacher Astri Heimer (1889-1986), constitutes the material for analysis. The purpose of this thesis is to examine if Heimer's mor

The purpose of this essay was to examine whether there were any differences in social workers way of investigating boys and girls, age 13-15. The main questions we wanted to answer were; which were the factors that the social workers focused on? Did the investigations lead to a measure and if so, which one? How were risk and protection factors described and ana-lysed? To answer our questions we r

Sexualbrotten i svensk rätt kräver idag att gärningsmannen har använt någon typ av våld eller hot, eller har utnyttjat ett hjälplöst tillstånd. År 2003 kom emellertid Europadomstolens avgörande i Bulgariendomen, i vilken kan utläsas att varje sexuell handling som begås utan samtycke ska vara straffbar. Sedan dess har det i Sverige livligt debatterats om huruvida domen innebär att den svenska lagenThe sexual offences in Swedish law of today require that the perpetrator has used violence or threats, or that he has exploited a helpless state. However, in 2003 the European Court of Human Rights delivered a judgment in the case of M.C v. Bulgaria, which stated that any non-consensual sexual act must be punishable. There has been a legal discussion in Sweden ever since, regarding whether this ju

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: En mycket reaktiv spårgas i Amazonas. Växter släpper ut flyktiga organiska ämnen, som är mycket viktiga eftersom de släpps ut i stora mängder och påverkar tillverkningen av aerosoler, förändrar luftkvaliteten och fungerar som kommunikation mellan växter och herbivorer. Det här arbetet presenterar uppmätningar av sesquiterpener, vilka är flyktiga organiska partikSesquiterpenes are highly reactive terpenoids produced by vegetation and may serve many important biological functions such as acting as antioxidants and as semiochemicals (chemicals acting as messengers within or between species). Once emitted to the atmosphere, by reacting with oxidants like ozone and contributing to secondary organic aerosol formation, the emission of sesquiterpenes from vegeta

En ofta använd behandlingsmetod mot cancer är strålbehandling. Inför en sådan behandling undersöks patienten ofta med en typ av röntgenundersökning som kallas datortomografi (eng. computed tomomgraphy, CT). Röntgenbilderna visar hur mycket av strålningen som absorberas av kroppen, vilket innebär att man tydligt ser skillnad mellan ben, som absorberar mer av strålningen än vävnad och luft, som strå"Introduction; The aim of this study was to examine the possibilities for MRI-based radiotherapy treatment planning.
