The thesis explores the possibilities of the Swedish government to assure effective waste collection policies for mercury-containing gas-discharge lamps (GDL) in the context of phase-out of incandescent light bulbs. The study includes review of the waste collection, the waste collection evaluation, policy review and policy analysis. The specific analytical tools applied include Lindhqvist’s policy

The purpose of this thesis was to determine how a heavy duty vehicle manufacturer can create an economical viable business model for used batteries from electric buses and trucks. Heavy duty vehicles are responsible for 30% of on-road CO2 emissions in the European Union, but could be decreased if this sector would be electrified. One major barrier for this transition is the large cost for the batt

Lunds kommun utforskar möjligheter för ett digitaliserat samhälle och därför bestod detta arbete av en behovskartläggning inom kommunens LSS-verksamhet unIkT. Kartläggningen involverade personer med autismspektrumtillstånd där deras väsentliga behov som saknade stöd, skulle tillfredsställas med hjälp av en digital lösning. Datainsamlingen inkluderade bland annat intervjuer och brainstorming med uThe municipality of Lund is in the process of exploring opportunities for a digital society. This work consisted of a need’s assessment within the municipality’s inclusive community setting unIkT. The mapping involved individuals with autism spectrum disorder, and how their essential needs could be satisfied with the help of a digital solution. The data gathering included interviews and brainstor

Hyaluronan is an unsulfated linear glycosaminoglycan with the ability to nucleate extracellular matrices by the formation of aggregates with lecticans. These matrices are essential during development of the central nervous system. In the prospective white matter of the developing brain hyaluronan is organized into fiber-like structures according to confocal microscopy of fixed slices which may gui

Background Few authors have investigated function and pain after surgical treatment of patients with bone metastases. In 1999 the Scandinavian Sarcoma Group (SSG) initiated the Skeletal Metastasis Registry as a multi-centric, prospective study to provide a scientific basis for recommendations of treatment. Patients and methods We have analyzed function and pain in 530 patients (mean age 65 yr) ope

Macroscopic phase separation in covalent sodium polyacrylate (PA) networks following the absorption of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide/chloride (CTAB/C) from aqueous solutions is studied experimentally and theoretically. The gels are shown to consist of a solvent-swollen polyelectrolyte network (core), surrounded by a dense surface phase (skin) of polyion/surfactant complexes. The effect of core sw

The essay, The New Clothes of Death is about the funeral customs in Sweden from a culture-historical perspective with an ethnological touch. The essay deals with our present day relation to death and how this can be transformed to the dead person. The questions are highlighted with observations from two funerals, one cremation and, studies of the cemetery environment and the culture of the graves.

Protecting semi-natural grasslands may through spill-over benefit species richness and abundance of flower-visiting insects in linear habitats, such as uncultivated field boundaries, in agricultural landscapes. However, whether local diversity increases both with decreasing distance from potential source habitats and increasing landscape heterogeneity is poorly known due to a general lack of studi

This thesis aims to provide a suggestion to how a chair could be designed to have less negative impact on the environment. At many offices the turnover of furniture is big. By conducting interviews and study visits, it was indicated that chairs used in lunch areas and meeting rooms are the type of furniture that gets exchanged the most in office environments. Many of the existing chairs used for t

This master thesis project has been performed in cooperation with AGA, the well-known gas company which is a part of the German Linde group and the Department of Automatic Control, Lund Institute of Technology. Since summer 2000 AGA has developed and manufactured a fully automated reactor producing bicarbonate solution for stabilizing pH in papermaking processes. The reactor or ACU!22 (alkalinity

The thesis presents fairness as a concept that can be defined in several ways. The different definitions overlap and influence each other in a somewhat unexpected manner. The conclusion of this thesis is that the utilitarian approach first presented as a philosophical theory of fairness by Jeremy Bentham is so far clearly seen as the overriding basis for the CJEU judgements. However, the adopted A

Lactobacillus kunkeei is the most abundant bacterial species in the honey crop and food products of honeybees. The 16S rRNA genes of strains isolated from different bee species are nearly identical in sequence and therefore inadequate as markers for studies of co-evolutionary patterns. Here, we have compared the 1.5 Mb genomes of ten L. kunkeei strains isolated from all recognized Apis species and

I betänkandet av Straffreformutredningen, som inleddes i augusti 2023, föreslås ett reformerat påföljdssystem för att stärka brottsofferperspektivet. Rättvisan uppnås således genom ett perspektivskifte – fokuset förflyttas från gärningsman till brottsoffer. På grund av den ökade brottsligheten och de konstanta samhällsförändringarna, motiverar lagstiftaren, att ett förändrat system är, följaktligeThe report of the Criminal Reform Inquiry, that was initiated in August 2023, suggests a reformed penalty system for the purpose of strengthening the perspective of victims of crime. Justice is thus achieved through a shift of perspective – from the offender to the victim. Because of an increase in crime and the constant changes in society, the legislator justifies that a changed system is, conseq
