Pastörisering av drycker och flytande föda är nödvändigt dels för att göra produkten säker men också för att förlänga hållbarheten. Vid pastörisering höjs temperaturen på produkten i en värmeväxlare med värmeväxling från ett varmt medium, oftast varmvatten. Bakterier av olika slag dör vid en viss temperatur som hålls i en viss tid beroende på vilken slags pastörisering som krävs. Då en produkt skaThe purpose of this master thesis project was to compare two pasteurizers (pasteurizer 31 and 52) at Österlenmejeriet AB (ÖMAB) in Lunnarp, which is a part of Danone, France and once the differences were clear the goal was to have them equalized in the aspect of heating effects/temperature treatments/heating load and processing parameters. The products that are mainly pasteurized on these pasteuri

Community-based natural resources management (CBNRM) is often promoted a way to address natural resources challenges while empowering communities and improving livelihoods. However, empirical evidence has shown that CBNRM does not always entail inclusive community engagement or result in the equitable distribution of costs and benefits. Women, in particular, are often excluded from participating i

Syftet med skadeståndet utgår från prevention och reparation. Skadestånd ska förmå människor att agera mer aktsamt, att avstå från ett visst skadligt agerande, i syfte att undvika skador. Detta ska i sin tur leda till ett tryggare och säkrare samhälle. De dispositiva skadeståndsrättsliga reglerna i SkL har historiskt haft starkt samband med straffrätten. SkL trädde i kraft 1972 men innebar ingen sThe purpose of the tort law is based on prevention and repair. Being forced to pay damages is intended to cause people to act more cautiously, to refrain from certain harmful actions, in order to avoid injuries. This will lead to a safe and sound society. The Liability for Damages Act came into force in 1972 but meant no major change regarding the assessment of the liability for damages, it is sti

För närmare åtta år sedan, 2011, ändrade Högsta domstolen (HD) sin tidigare praxis avseende tolkningen av 1 kap. 2 § andra stycket brottsbalken (BrB) – alltså det lagrum som reglerar uppsåt vid självförvållat rus. Den nya tolkningen innebar att uppsåt i dessa fall skulle behandlas enligt vanliga regler om uppsåt. Det är således inte längre fråga om att fingera uppsåt, inte ens i någon mån. SuzanneNearly eight years ago, in 2011, the supreme court of Sweden changed its previously established practice regarding the interpretation of Chapter 1, art. 2, 2nd paragraph of the Penal Code1 where intent and self-induced intoxication are addressed. A consequence of the new interpretation was that criminal intent in such cases of intoxication should instead be tried as intent in general and thus ther

Research interested in the specificities of this country has especially shown the importance of trade unions in the organization of the actions. However, unlike its French predecessors, the Yellow Vests movement developed and organized itself with the exclusive use of digital media, just

Exjobbet syftar till att öka förståelsen för hur beslutsfattande och samverkan påverkas av olika incitament och erfarenhet inom ramen av svensk krishantering.

Experiments were carried out in a micro world called MikroRisk in groups of three students each, where half of the groups had simple incentives and the other half had double incentives. Simple incentives meant that the group members only had to concentrate on

Cosmopolitan theory has long argued that the world is becoming increasingly interconnected. Through borderless phenomena such as climate change, and through globalizing processes such as cross-border mobility and the global market, we are becoming increasingly aware of their social and political impact as global news and debates fill our social media channels. To this end, cosmopolitan theory argu

Mediation processes are becoming increasingly salient in western society, and since tourism is one of the characteristics of modern societies the tourism practices follow this increase. The increasing emphasis on the visual as a prominent sense for our understanding of the physical world has led to increase desire for photography. Social media has created platforms for new remedies of photo sharin

This will also lead the way to discovering how emerging artists are “making it” in the era of music streaming, and which aspects are playing a significant role in this. In addition, the

I denna uppsats undersöks svensk rätts förståelse av prostitution och surrogatmödraskap ur ett radikalfeministiskt perspektiv. Mot bakgrund av den radikalfeministiska utgångspunkten att prostitution och surrogatmödraskap är jämförbara med varandra, granskar uppsatsen hur en radikalfeministisk diskurs tar sig uttryck i SOU 1995:15 och SOU 2016:11. Genom viss rättsdogmatik, men framför allt genom atThis essay examines the understanding of prostitution and surrogacy within Swedish law, from a radical feminist perspective. Given the radical feminist standpoint that prostitution and surrogacy are phenomena comparable with each other, the essay analyzes how a radical feminist discourse is conveyed within two official reports of the Swedish government: SOU 1995:15 and SOU 2016:11. By not primaril

Femicide is the ultimate expression of violence against women. It is the ultimate act of male dominance over a woman. Despite the criminal justice systems and governments have acknowledged femicide as a crime, there is little public awareness about the patriarchal roots that diffuse and maintain men´s power. Even though the causes of femicide cannot be separated from the causes of patriarchy, femi

The technological development has provided the art scene with many new opportunities of including the spectator as an active part of an artwork. Moreover, one could argue that some artworks have grown to rely on the spectators participation to function to its full extent. This function includes both a physical function as well as an ability to create emotions and a relatable- meaning within the sp

In May 2018, Google presented a new initiative called Digital wellbeing at their annual developer conference, Google I/O. Digital wellbeing consists of part a new design philosophy guiding the company’s products, part a set of tools to improve people’s relationship with digital technology. Using an STS influenced approach, this thesis seeks to better understand what role Google thinks technology s

Den här studien har utförts för att undersöka om lastbilar av typen högkapacitetsfordon, HCT-fordon, dvs. längre och tyngre fordon, kan svänga i befintliga korsningar. Idag, finns det tre typer av HCT-fordon, vilka är Duo-kärra, ETT-ekipage och Duo-trailer. Dessa nya fordonstyper har tagits fram för att kunna bemöta transportökningen. Problemet är att dessa fordon är längre än dem fordon som enligThis study has been conducted to investigate whether trucks of the High Capacity Transport vehicle type, HCT-vehicle, ie. longer and heavier vehicles can turn in existing intersections. Today, there are three types of HCT-vehicles, which are double centre-axle trailer combination (Duo-kärra), ETT-ekipage and Duo-trailer. These new vehicle types have been developed to meet the transport increase. T
