Background and objectives: Type 2 diabetes has been increasing all over the world. A healthy diet, including particular functional foods is an effective strategy to prevent this form of diabetes. Nopal (Oputia ficus) is a cactus plant that, according to traditional medicine, has antidiabetic properties. The objective of this research was to examine the effects of different fractions of nopal clado
The European Spallation Source, currently under construction in Lund, Sweden, will be the world's brightest neutron source. It is driven by a linear accelerator designed to accelerate a beam of protons with 62.5 mA, 2.86 ms long pulses, working at 14 Hz. The final section of its normal-conducting front-end consists of a 39 m long drift tube linac divided into five tanks, designed to accelerate
Membrane fouling, particularly by soft, deformable particles, is a significant challenge in microfiltration (MF) processes, leading to reduced efficiency and increased operational costs. This thesis investigates the formation of filter cake layers by numerically simulating fluid flow through microfluidic membranes designed with random, non-overlapping cylindrical micropillar arrays. The study aims
Bildandet av beläggningar på värmeväxlarytor (fouling) är ett stort problem vid värmebehandling av mejeriprodukter och växtbaserade drycker, eftersom det leder till ökat rengöringsbehov och stopp i produktionen. Konventionell rengöring använder kemiska rengöringsmedel (syra och bas), vilket har en negativ miljöpåverkan. Ett potentiellt alternativ till detta är den mer miljövänliga enzymatiska rengFouling is a major problem during heat treatment of dairy and plant-based beverages, leading to increased cleaning demand and production downtime. Conventional cleaning methods rely on chemical detergents (acids and bases), which raise sustainability concerns. A potential cleaning option is the use of enzymes, which has a lower environmental impact. Plant-based dairy alternatives are increasing i
Many Swedish multifamily buildings from the 1960s are now reaching a stage where major renovation is needed to improve energy performance, indoor environmental quality, and long-term climate performance. At the same time, renovation strategies may involve trade-offs between operational energy savings, embodied carbon, thermal comfort, and material circularity. This thesis evaluates energy-efficien
I samband med lantmäteriförrättningar där ersättningsbeloppet behöver framtas med hjälp av de värderingsmedel som Lantmäteriet eller utsedd värderingsman har att tillgå är det ytterst viktigt att ingångsparametrarna är korrekta. Då fastighetsregleringar där vinstfördelning blir aktuellt och där genomsnittsvärdeprincipen aktualiseras är det råtomtmarksvärdet som eftersöks. I värderingsutlåtandet reDuring land surveying operations, the amount of compensation needs to be calculated using the valuation means taken by the land surveyor or appointed appraiser. For this reason, it is important that input parameters are correct. As profit distribution is a pressing concern in relation to real estate regulations, raw land value is sought after. In this case, the responsible land surveyor reports fo
The construction and demolition sector stands for a large amount of the waste produced every year, roughly one third of all waste produced every year in Sweden, comes from this sector. The construction material manu- facturer Ecophon is a world leading company in manufacturing of acoustic products made out of glass wool, which are used in all kind of buildings and the general geometry of an acoust
The English title of this master thesis project is ”Risk assessment, hazard analysis and HACCP plan during production of fruit- and berry based products”. As the title refers to, this projects is divided into two part. The first one is the risk assessment of a company’s raw material for their production. The second part is a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) method that is used to eva
Authors: Emma Nilsson and Emma Silverberg Title: People in a crisis are not able to work with change Supervisor: Helene Hansen Assessor: Mikael Sandgren The aim of this study was to examine social workers reasoning on social services support to parents of children placed in compulsory care. This study was based on the Swedish social services law, 6:7 Socialtjänstlagen, that describes that parents
Most pediatric exercise intervention studies, that evaluates the effect on skeletal traits include volunteers and follow bone mass for less than three years. We present a population-based six-year controlled exercise intervention study in children with also bone structure and incident fractures as endpoints. Fractures were registered in 417 girls and 500 boys in the intervention group (3969 person
The atmospheric concentration of elemental carbon (EC) in Europe during the six-year period 2005-2010 has been simulated with the EMEP MSC-W model. The model bias compared to EC measurements was less than 20% for most of the examined sites. The model results suggest that fossil fuel combustion is the dominant source of EC in most of Europe but that there are important contributions also from resid
The Storo greenstone belt in Godthabsfjord, southern West Greenland consists of juxtaposed rock units of different age and origin, and hosts gold mineralisation that is associated with arsenopyrite along a contact between lithological units and along the axial plane of a large fold core. The age and origin of the gold is debatable, but in this paper, we present new arsenopyrite Re-Os and zircon U-
Understanding past methane dynamics in arctic wetlands and lakes is crucial for estimating future methane release. Methane fluxes from lake ecosystems have increasingly been studied, yet only few reconstructions of past methane emissions from lakes are available. In this study, we develop an approach to assess changes in methane availability in lakes based on delta C-13 of chitinous invertebrate r
Det kommunala bolaget Sydvatten AB ser till att det kommer rent och friskt dricksvatten ur våra kranar i sydvästra Skåne. Vattnet produceras vid Vombverket, ett vattenverk beläget ca 30 km öster om Lund och strax söder om Vombsjön. Vombverket består av 55 anlagda dammar där vatten som pumpas upp från Vombsjön får infiltrera ner i marken och bilda grundvatten.

The water is produced at Vombverket, the water installation located about thirty kilometres east of Lund. Vombverket consists of 55 infiltration dams where the water pumped up from Vombsjön is infiltrated to form ground water. The ground water is then p
Degrowth refers to an alternative human society which is simplistic, cooperative and opposite of current growth system which is based on overproduction and overconsumption. The current growth trend is indisputably unsustainable for the future being of the earth and its’ population. Resource depletion, land degradation and climate change have become inevitable due to growth system, overproduction a
Under de senaste årtiondena har det skett en ökning av antalet anmälda sexualbrott, inte minst sexuella ofredanden. Därtill synliggjorde #metoo- rörelsen omfattningen av mäns sexuella våld mot kvinnor och gav nytt bränsle åt diskussionen om rättvisa för brottsoffer. Arbetet skrivs i ljuset av denna utveckling och syftar till att undersöka hur många anmälningar om sexuella ofredanden som leder tiIn recent decades, there has been an increase in the number of reported sexual offences in Sweden, including sexual molestation. Additionally, the #metoo movement highlighted the extent of men's sexual violence against women and created momentum for the debate on justice for victims. Considering these developments, this study aims to examine how many reports of sexual molestation result in a
Internationella organisationer är ett fenomen som vuxit fram främst på senare tid. De har blivit en naturlig del av den internationella rätten och ses som väsentliga aktörer på den internationella arenan. Ett medlemskap i en internationell organisation ger en stat flera fördelar men vanligtvis innebär det även ett bortfall av statens suveränitet som ges upp till förmån för organisationens överstatInternational organizations are a phenomenon that has developed foremost recently. They have become a natural part of international law and are viewed as essential actors on the international arena. A membership gives a state multiple benefits but usually also implicates a loss of state sovereignty in favor to the advantage of supranationalism, which sometimes prohibits the states. To manage this
This master thesis has been made on behalf of Sony Ericsson in co-operation with Machine Design at Lund Institute of Technology. The background is a need within Sony Ericsson to test moulded plastic parts before they are assembled together to a phone. There are today various specified tests that are made on every single phone before it is launched, but they are all made on complete assembled phone
Det skånska landskapet har sedan 1800talet varit starkt påverkat av lantbruket. Åar har rätats ut, fördjupats och kulverterats, vilket i kombination med en ökad gödsling har lett till ökat näringsläckage som gett konsekvenser i form av minskad biologisk mångfald och övergödning. Ett sätt att minska övergödningen är att anlägga vallbesådda skyddszoner längs vattendrag. Lantbrukare kan få ersättningThe landscape of Scania in southern Sweden has been heavily influenced by agriculture since the 1800s. Rivers have been straightened, deepened and culverted which in combination with increased fertilization has had consequences such as loss of biodiversity and eutrophication. One way to reduce eutrophication is to construct grass seeded buffer zones along watercourses. Farmers can receive compensa
Den här texten behandlar auktorisationsregler, med ett särskilt fokus på lärarlegitimationer. Det huvudsakliga syftet är att avgöra om utformandet av lärarlegitimationsreformen var det riktiga för att uppnå syftet med reformen, men texten fungerar även som en sammanställning av gällande rätt. Det är särskilt viktigt för lärarlegitimationer, där reglerna aldrig satts i något sammanhang. De auktorisThis text is a treatment on occupational licensing, with a focus on certification for teachers. The main purpose is to determine if the format used when the certification was implemented in 2011 was the right way to accomplish the purpose of the reform. The text also works as a summary of applicable law, which is important regarding teachers, since it has never been done before. The examined occup
