Vikten av resurseffektivitet i livsmedelskedjan är tydlig, eftersom denna sektor är en av de största bidragarna till negativ klimatpåverkan globalt. Målet med den här uppsatsen var att utforska sidoströmmar av mat inom livsmedelskedjan i Västra Götaland, för att kartlägga hur mycket som redan är täckt i statistiken och vilka luckor i datamaterialet som finns för framtida forskning att täcka. DessThe importance of resource efficiency in the food supply chain is clear, since this sector is one of the biggest contributors to the negative environmental impacts globally. This thesis project aimed to examine food side streams throughout the food supply chain in Västra Götaland, to map out how much has already been covered statistically and what gaps there are in the data for future research to

Trap roads are a part of the Swedish railway facility and resembles the safest front- and side protection at speed above 160 km/h. When designing Trap roads, some regulations needs to be followed. As these, in some cases, may be contradictory towards each other, the planners become somewhat insecure. The purpose of the master thesis has thenceforth been to clarify for the planners, as well as to w

The experience of reading the news online has changed significantly for consumers in recent years. So-called native advertising has seen an increase which has resulted that the line between marketing and journalism has become blurred for a lot of people. Various studies show that consumers have difficulties perceiving what is native advertising and what is journalism when they’re asked to distingu

The microstructure in cortical bone greatly affect the toughness of the bone and the crack propagation during fracture. The two main structural features, Haversian canals and osteons, have been previously studied in order to increase the knowledge of the biomechanics of bone. In studies where X-ray microtomography has been the imaging method of choice, the microstructure has been analysed based on

Ett barn kan placeras i familjehem genom bestämmelser i SoL respektive bestämmelser i LVU. När placeringen varat i tre år från det att beslutet verkställdes har socialnämnden enligt 6:8 2 st. SoL respektive 13 § 3 st. LVU en särskild skyldighet att överväga om det finns skäl att ansöka om överflyttning av vårdnad i enlighet med 6:8 FB. I mars 2022 lämnade regeringen en proposition vid namn BarnetsA child can be placed in a family home through regulations in the Social Services Act and the Care of Young Persons (Special Provisions) Act. When the placement has lasted a total of three years, from the time of implementation, the social welfare committee has an obligation to consider whether there are grounds to apply for transfer of custody in accordance with Chapter six, section eight in the

The growth of the wild boar (Sus Scrofa) population in Sweden results in increasing wild boar damage on agricultural grounds, thereby influencing the livelihoods of farmers. Finding mitigation strategies that are positive for both wildlife and human society is challenging. It is therefore essential to enable the creation and investigation of precise and differentiated wild boar management strategi

Due to the increasing CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere caused by anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, there is a need for adaptations and mitigations to climate change. Not only is a drastic reduction of emissions necessary, but the uptake of CO2 from the atmosphere needs to be increased and stored long-term. One of the more efficient mitigation strategies to reduce CO2 concentrations in th

Plants are exposed to harsh environments due to climate changes, which lead to reduction in productivity and yield of the crops. In order to promote stress tolerance in plants, several chemical, microbial and pulsed power methods are applied in agriculture. Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) is an alternative non-chemical and environmentally friendly technology that can be applied to promote the growth o

In a digital age where travellers are increasingly looking for the cheapest, fastest or most sustainable way to travel, comparing different modes of transport efficiently becomes a challenge. The internet offers a wide range of websites and travel providers, fragmenting information and forcing travellers to navigate inefficiently between different platforms and websites. Multimodal Digital Mobili

Som en del i utvecklingen mot grönare och miljövänligare processer, samt ett behov av ytterst specifika reaktioner, vill AAK AB utvidga sin användning av lipaser i sin produktion av strukturerade triacylglyceroler (STAGs). AAK vill bygga upp ett bibliotek av utvärderade lipaser. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att bidra till detta bibliotek genom att karakterisera en grupp kommersiellt tillgänglAs part of a switch towards more green and environmentally friendly processes, together with a need for highly specific reactions, AAK AB wants to broaden their use of lipases in the production of structured triacylglycerols (STAGs). AAK are working on creating a lipase library where several lipases are evaluated, this master thesis aims to contribute to this lipase library by characterizing a sel

Processed food is a big contribution to the increasing intake of salt among the population, which today is the double of the recommendation stated by the World Health Organization. This high intake of salt affects the human health in such a way that it can increase blood pressure, which in turn can lead to cardiovascular diseases, which are already the main cause of death cause among the world’s p

The mycoprotein was obtained from the company, Mycorena. The mycoprotein is a potential source of alternative protein of the animal origin used as the functional ingredients in the food industry. In this project, mycoprotein concentrate (MC) and mycoprotein isolate (MI) were produced by freeze-drying the biomass and pH-shift processing together with freeze-drying, respectively. Moreover, the funct

When developing a large application, many companies use techniques such as Test Driven Development in order to get a range of tests on which they later can validate their code with. This has become the standard in many work environments. Problems arise when an application is already developed and tests has not been written in the course of the development. This makes it near impossible to validate

Rare books, defined in this study as books printed or written before 1850, can be found at the Swedish municipal archives but are not necessarily a part of the traditional archival material. Due to the fact that rare books are not protected by law, the municipal archives can work and think differently about the rare books’ preservation, availability and value. There are several studies on the subj

Purpose: To characterise the baseline clinical features and genotypes of adults with pre-mRNA processing factor 31 (PRPF31)-associated retinal dystrophy (RD) enrolled in a prospective, multicentre 4-year natural history study, and to explore correlations between selected baseline parameters. Methods: Thirty-one patients with PRPF31-RD underwent comprehensive multimodal assessment, including slit-l

PurposeBlockchain technology (BCT) is a novel and disruptive innovation that can transform procurement processes in various industries, including the food sector. BCT can offer benefits such as transparency, traceability, security, and efficiency for procuring food products, which are essential for ensuring food security and quality. However, BCT faces several challenges that hinder its adoption a

Galactoglucomannan (GGM) has been identified as a valuable resource and can be used in fields such as oxygen barrier films, food coatings or hydrogels. This hemicellulose can be extracted from softwood using steam explosion (STEX) under mild conditions. However, the GGM-solution also contains impurities such as lignin, lignin-carbohydrate complexes, organic acids, and salts, which require further
