Minskad återvinning av avfall i anläggningsarbeten Återvinning i anläggningsändamål har minskat och folk i branschen tycker att processen tar för lång tid och att reglerna är för strikta. Detta leder till att mindre avfall återvinns och att mer avfall deponeras, än vad som skulle vara möjligt ur ett resurshushållningsperspektiv. För att spara på våra naturresurser och minska miljöpåverkan är deOur society generates large amounts of waste from construction and demolition. Recycling this waste is important from an environmental and resource point of view. This study investigates the effects of the handbook ”Recycling of waste in construction work” by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The purpose of the study is to assess the effect the handbook has had on recycling, use of natu

Laktos – astmamedicinens bästa vän? Att leverera medicin till lungan är en krånglig process då en stor del av den verksamma substansen riskerar att fastna i svalget. Ny forskning har dock gett bredare förståelse för hur små partiklar av laktos kan användas till att öka effektiviteten hos inhalerbara läkemedel. Vid behandling av sjukdomar som drabbar luftvägarna, så som astma, finns det olika sätA common approach to treat respiratory diseases is with adhesive powder mixtures. These are dispersed into an aerosol upon inhalation. It has been found that the performance of such mixtures can be improved by adding fine particle lactose, but exactly why is yet to be established. Several theories have been proposed by previous studies, but the fundamental mechanism is still unknown. This study w

This study questions the linear and top-down planning and implementation methods of mainstream development projects, as they do not seem to: achieve its expected outcomes; respond to the complex development context; or allow development beneficiaries to be a part of deciding their own development, despite promotions of inclusive approaches. The purpose was to explore if collaboration could serve a

As a result of the current climate crisis, which reflects people's unsustainable consumer behaviour, there is an increased need for companies to apply sustainability strategies. One of the responses to the crisis is the increasing number of packaging-free grocery stores that have opened across Europe. These new stores have the intent of reducing waste by using, for instance, Circular Economy s

Authentication for phone calls is important for companies with hundreds of customers wanting to access sensitive information. However, it is sub-par compared to authentication when using applications or websites. In this thesis, seven models have been developed for how to use BankID as the authentication service during phone calls. The purpose of all models is to use the BankID API to provide the

This qualitative study is based upon in depth interviews w

The Maha Oya river mouth, located on the west coast of Sri Lanka, is seasonally closed by a sand bar formed at the river mouth due to little rainfall and thus little river discharge. A new Outlet, located just north of the Maha Oya river mouth, was created by the 2004 tsunami. The Outlet remains open all year because of its location in the lee of an offshore breakwater. When the Maha Oya river mou

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Undersökningen baseras på prover ifrån borrkärnor som tagits från sandstenar vilka avsattes för ca 200 miljoner år sedan. Vid denna tid var hela nordvästra delen av Skåne täckt av ett stort delta med en avsättningsmiljö som gav sandstenar med ett stort innehåll av ler. Ler deponerades då det rådde lugna vattenmiljöförhållanden, såsom vid olika årstidsvariationerAn examination of permeability differences was made on plugs obtained from six drill cores in both horizontal and vertical directions, representing different facies of the Hettangian strata from the Höganäs Formation. The permeability analyses distinguish permeability differences from anisotropy and an index was created to evaluate the anisotropy. The cause of the measured anisotropy in this study

Abstract Over the past decade, mass spectrometry has had an essential role in improvement of proteomics techniques. New instrument and analytical protocol developments have made mass spectrometry one of the most widely used analytical methods in quantitative proteomics. Today one of the commonly used protocols in proteomics is digestion of proteins to peptides and analysis of the peptides with li

The aim of this study was to evaluate two methods of detecting a difference in activity between the two hemispheres of the brain when presented with stimulus during memory encoding. The difference intended to be detected was based on the lateralization of brain processing of sensory input, which was triggered by an auditory stimulus in one ear at a time. The methods that were used for detection, c

Healthcare systems around the world are facing a multitude of challenges, mostly because of aging populations. The Covid-19 pandemic put further strain on the sector and has left many countries with a backlog of medical procedures, which further exacerbates the issues. New technological products and solutions are one way to relieve healthcare workers and enable more efficient care. Zymego is a com

Food scarcity is a common occurrence for farmers in the rural Himalayan regions. As fruits and vegetables are a crucial part of most farmers' diet, food deficiency can become evident in between harvesting periods, when there is no fresh supply. A lack of proper storage facilities and preservation methods further amplify this as the commodities that are stored can start to rot. The farmers do t

Preterm birth is a leading cause for birth complications and neonatal mortality in the world. It remains difficult to predict whether a preterm birth will occur, which hinders the possible use of prevention treatments. This thesis investigates the use of machine learning models in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth. In addition, possible heterogeneous performance of these models among dif

Elbehovet ökar och landbaserad solkraft lyfts fram som en lösning för att snabbt möta elektrifieringen, men när solparker planeras på jordbruksmark väcks debatten: mat eller el? En möjlig väg framåt är att upprätta solparker på lågproduktiv jordbruksmark och förvalta den som gräsmark för att främja kolinlagring. I den planerade solparken Kogshult, i Sjöbo kommun, undersöker denna studie solsambrukAs pressure on land-use increase due to climate change and a transition to fossil-free energy sources, there is a growing interest in the potential to combine agricultural activities with ground-mounted solar energy parks. While claiming agricultural land for energy production sparks a lot of debate, a potential compromise may lie in utilizing depleted agricultural land for solar farms, purposely

Traditionally, the role of the civil society in the EU policy-making has been week in comparison with the business associations and trade unions who are the social partners of the EU. However, this weakness forced the civil society to unite under a common network, which became to be known as Social Platform. Recently, their visibility became even stronger when the crisis hit the EU and consequentl
