In nature, for example through mechanical degradation (e.g., plastic waste in the sea) and through the exposure to UV-radiation, plastics can degrade to microplastics and eventually to even smaller plastic nanoparticles. Studies performed under laboratory conditions have shown that plastic nanoparticles can accumulate in the liver and the brain of fishes, hence plastic nanoparticles can cause brai
The Law of Tobacco and Similar Products becomes active on the 1st of July 2019 and brings with it new no-smoking areas, primarily in outdoor environments, which will demand municipal supervision. In this study, officials from Scania’s municipalities have been interviewed to investigate what their opinions, views and expected challenges with the implementation of these no-smoking areas are. It was
Achieving climate change mitigation targets requires a drastic cut in emissions from the transport sector – a huge challenge for regions where a heavily road-based mobility is already established, and where emissions have steadily increased for the past 20 years. Expectations of highly efficient, fast and ever-increasing mobility adds to the challenge. Oslo, Norway, is a highly relevant case in th

Global inefficient energy use poses a significant risk to climate change and air quality worldwide; therefore, there is an urgent need to transform today's energy system into one that is rooted in efficiency. The building sector represents an opportunity to reduce energy use and has the potential to unlock additional co-benefits. Today, many of the technologies and design solutions have been p

A section of the Swedish library act stipulates that libraries are to pay specific attention to people with disability. Exhaustion syndrome is a mental disability that in recent years has started to grow rapidly in numbers. This master thesis is mainly aiming to study whether public libraries are welcoming and functional places for people with exhaustion syndrome but it also has a wider scope stud
FN’s konvention om rättigheter för personer med funktionsnedsättningar är inte bara det ledande instrumentet inom internationell funktionshindersrätt utan knyter även samman fältet med en rad andra områden inom den internationella människorättsjuridiken. I konventionens 27e artikel garanteras rätten till arbete för personer med funktionsnedsättningar, och därigenom kopplas den internationella funkThe United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities is not only the main instrument of international disability law, but also connects the field with a multitude of other areas of international human rights law.

Traditionally hydraulic actuators has been the primary choice in modern submarines due to their strength and reliability. In recent years many commercial and military vehicles have switched to electromechanical alternatives, as they are generally more energy efficient and have superior controllability. These are two attributes valued in a submarine, hence an investigation was carried out to assess
Syftet med arbetet har varit att, med hjälp av bayesiansk sannolikhetsteori som bevisvärderingsmetod, kritiskt analysera svenska människohandelsmål. Detta har gjorts för att utröna om det förekommer tecken på bristande bevisvärdering från domstolarna som bidrar till att rekvisit ej anses styrkta i dessa mål där någon blir friad, och i utsträckning bidragit till bevisproblematik kring brottet. SyftThe purpose of this paper has been to critically analyze Swedish court cases of human trafficking where the accused has been acquitted of such a criminal act. The critical analysis has been executed with the aid of Bayesian probability theory as an evidence evaluation method. This has been done to determine whether there are signs of flawed evidence evaluation from the court itself which has contr
Popular science summary The Role of Fungal Communities in the Lodgepole pine´s invasion Summary Belowground microbial interactions have an important effect on the performance of plant populations and the success of plant invasions. The introduced Lodgepole pine, for instance, can be presented with novel fungal mutualists in the introduced areas in comparison with their native ranges. These nove
The topic of our thesis is Packaging Design as a Brand Building Tool and we are presenting the Scandinavian perspective. We found the topic interesting because, from a theoretical point of view, we identified a scarcity in research focusing on packaging design as a brand management tool, and from a practical point of view, we found out that businesses use packaging design at different levels in th
For better or worse work plays a major role in both the psychological and thephysical well-being in peoples’ lives. Work can be a source of meaning, joy and self fulfilment, or a cause of distress and illness. This holds true even in wealthy parts ofthe world with a long tradition of research and governmental actions to achieve a goodworking environments. For example, in Sweden an average of 35 pe
Timetables are important for train punctuality. However, relatively little attention has been paid to the people who plan the timetables: the research has instead been more centred on how to improve timetables through simulation, optimisation, and data analysis techniques. In this study, we present an overview of the state of practice and the state of the art in timetable planning by studying the
Background: Risky consumption of alcohol is a global problem. More than 3.3 million deaths annually are associated with risky use of alcohol, and global alcohol consumption continues to increase. People who have high alcohol consumption often require planned and emergency surgical procedures. Risky drinking is associated with increased postoperative complications such as infections, cardiopulmonar
Popular Abstract in Swedish Innovationer är livsviktiga för de flesta företags långsiktiga tillväxt och överlevnad. Det gäller även livsmedelssektorn i Sverige som här har undersökts med avseende på tre grupper av aktörer: handel, livsmedelsproducenter och förpackningsleverantörer. Målsättningen var att undersöka om det finns ett gap mellan hur dessa olika aktörer ser på innovation och hur de genoThe food sector in Sweden, comprised of retailers, food manufacturers and packaging suppliers, has been investigated, guided by two research questions: What does “innovation” mean to the different actors (i.e. is there a gap in opinions)? How is innovation performed and what are the key issues? But before this research of the present, the past was studied (the author’s licentiate) to identify and
Popular Abstract in Swedish För drygt 30 år sedan samlades några uttråkade ungdomar i Hultsfred, Småland och bildade rockföreningen Rockparty.

Mira is the perfect purity where the demonic of the master mason has no access. The craftsman’s wife is the embodiment of innocence, the heavenly depiction of mankind as opposed to demonic Manole. “Serenity” and “light” are words that repeatedly occur in her monologue thus suggesting the plenitudine of being she is about to conceive when she would be raising into the light her perfect precious, th
