Our current food system is a significant contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, land and water use, biodiversity loss among other issues. In order to achieve the sustainability agendas, a shift in the food system is required. With livestock production responsible for up a considerable amount of food system GHG emissions, diets with reduced meat consumption are suggested to be
During recent years, there has been an increase in supply and consumption of plantbased products worldwide. As many such products are new, the consumption of these has not been thoroughly investigated. Vegetarian products are made from legumes and cereals with different microbiological conditions and challenges than animal products, and thus they may need to be handled differently. It is commonly
The choices costumers make in the supermarket can influence to what extent food production is sustainable. There is also a growing pressure on retailers to step up and enable and encourage sustainable choices for the costumer. The purpose of the study is twofold: first, to understand the function(s) the brand ‘ICA I love eco’ fills in by looking into how this brand is used in a supermarket in orde
Rapporten behandlar framtagningen av en labbmiljö i ABB:s 800xA. Labbmiljön ämnar effektivisera testning av Distributed Control Systems (DCS) och på så sätt effektivisera uppstarten och genomförandet av industriskaliga processystem. Konceptet för labbmiljön är att ge möjligheten att snabbt kunna sätta upp ett system i 800xA som kan användas till testning, processutveckling och kompetensutvecklingThe report deals with the development of a lab environment in ABB's 800xA. The lab environment aims to streamline the testing of Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and thus streamline the start-up and implementation of industrial-scale process systems. The concept of the lab environment is to provide the opportunity to quickly set up a system in 800xA that can be used for testing, process dev
This thesis explores how different museums choose to present the same type of material. The study focuses on Anglo-Saxon material, from between 500 and 800 A.D. The exhibitions that have been selected deal with the Sutton Hoo ship burial, which is exhibited at the British Museum in London, and the Staffordshire Hoard, which has been exhibited both at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery and at
The present thesis investigated using the random forest machine learning algorithm for wind power forecasting. Meteorological prognoses for wind speed, wind direction, gust winds, and humidity were used. For historical data, wind minimum and temperature was also included. The results were evaluated using root means square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), normalized mean absolute error (NMA
Hong Kong’s art scene has been subject to relevant changes in recent years due to unprecedented events that characterised the years of 2019 and 2020 (large-scale protests, implementation of the National Security Law, and the Pandemic). These changes have affected the production and self-perception of local artists. In this thesis, a constructionist life story interview is used to investigate how t
A functioning charging infrastructure is crucial for achieving full-scale national electrification within the transport sector. The system is likely to consist of different charging technologies, all with the main objective of providing efficient energy replenishment services. Careful planning for the deployment of this infrastructure is of high importance. The consumer segments are diverse, each
The aim of the study was to examine how counselors at the women's clinic relate to existential questions in the meeting with patients related to social work in a healthcare setting. The intention was to look closer at what challenges the staff faces, as well as what they find obstacles that stop or make it difficult to talk about existential issues. This was investigated through semi-structure
African states have recently claimed that international law is transforming into a new form of colonialism and a hegemonic power masquerading as the international rule of law. The International Criminal Court's bias against the Third World African states in correlation to the human right to a fair trial is investigated. The thesis overarching question addresses the Court's selective justic
During evolution the human brain has increased drastically in size compared to that of other primates. However, little is known about primate brain development as it is difficult to study human and primate brains in the laboratory due to the scarcity of tissues. Yet, it is essential to study primate brains and understand the molecular features leading to the human brain’s unique cognitive function
Background: Cancer, which is known for its high mortality rate, can affect several tissue types. Among these, breast cancer is the most prevalent form worldwide and gliomas has one of the highest mortality rates among all cancer types. CSMD1 is a complement inhibitor with known tumor suppressor properties, whose down-regulation and deletion has been identified in several cancer types. In this stud
Bacteria have harnessed a variety of self-acting toxic mechanisms to regulate plasmid maintenance, phage defense, expression of virulence factors, and antimicrobial resistance. It was thought that the expression of toxic proteins was the sole source of toxicity in bacteria. Recent studies have shown the potential for RNA to cause toxic growth phenotypes independent of toxic protein expression. How
Krishantering och förebyggande arbete inför naturkatastrofer, som i detta examensarbete avgränsas till tsunamis, har identifierats som bristande genom tiderna. Här studeras tsunamikatastroferna i Indiska Oceanen 2004 och Japan 2011 för att identifiera brister hos varningssystemen som används för att skydda samhällena som befinner sig i dessa riskzoner och dess befolkning. Först visade det sig att
Den samtida och framtida brassbandskompositionen" är ett examensarbete som syftar till att, utifrån ett tonsättarperspektiv, undersöka musik som är komponerad för brassbandstävlingar och identifiera de komponenter som behövs i både komposition och instrumentation för att skapa såväl en konstnärlig produkt som tävlingsförutsättningar. För att genomföra detta har författaren Daniel Möllås - tiThe contemporary and future brass band composition" is a thesis which, from a composers point of view, aims to investigate music composed for brass band competitions and to identify the components needed in both composition and instrumentation, in order to create an artistic product as well as conditions for competing. To accomplish this, the author Daniel Möllås - also a composition student
