Biodiesel is an important alternative to ordinary diesel when limiting the effects on the climate. However, the production path of biodiesel produces a wastewater with a high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and it needs to be cleaned. The aim of this study was to characterise biodiesel wastewater as well as to suggest treatment options. The biodiesel wastewater studied came from a biodiesel plant i
Our study sought to reveal whether social power affects Facebook behaviour in a similar manner that it affects behaviour in the real world. We predicted that participants in the high power condition would be more active on Facebook compared to both low power and control conditions, while low power participants would be less active on Facebook. Participants in the experimental condition went throug
Detta examensarbete undersöker hur lärare och elever upplever sin tid på kulturskolan respektive musikinstitutet i Sverige och Finland. Syftet bakom studien är att se hur lärare och elever i respektive länder ser på sin undervisning, med de skillnader som finns i strukturen. I såväl finländska som svenska musikskolor är primärmålet inte att eleverna ska söka vidare till högskolor och målen som sätThis thesis is investigating how teachers and students experience their time at music schools in Sweden and Finland. The purpose of this study is to see how teachers and students in both countries see their education, with their structural differences. The main aims of both Finnish and Swedish music schools is not to get the students to apply to higher music education. The goals for the students a
År 2004 anlade Svedala avloppsreningsverk tio vassbäddar. P.g.a. komplikationer behövde dock bäddarna tas ur bruk efter några års användning. Åtta bäddar står nu outnyttjade, medan två tagits i bruk på prov. Kommunen är intresserad av att undersöka möjligheten att konvertera resterande vassbäddar till utjämningsmagasin, för att reducera interna flöden och begränsa att bräddningar sker. Reningsproc
This thesis evaluates the concept of Energy Harvesting as a power source for a serial measurement board used by ABB robots. A background study of possible energy harvesters is included, where the main focus is put on the overall function and what parameters determine the maximum generated power and efficiencies. Furthermore, a design of a physical proof of concept for solar as an Energy Harvestin
The last decades the modern sporthorse have changed a lot, both physically and in temperament. Horses have gotten more athletic, sensitive and faster. Selective breeding, new science findings and more competition, in combination with a role change from workhorse to sporthorse have made this change possible. The idea to investigate and develop horse equipment was initialised during meetings with th
Hydrogenation is a universal reaction, which is widely used in industry and academy. However, the reaction is not easy to be studied in extreme conditions such as high temperature and high pressure. On top of that, using Raman spectroscopy to observe the reaction is not so customary. Due to these aspects, the experiment was carried out. During the working process, the degradation reaction was also
What is considered a good political leadership is a highly topical issue. Today we see a variety of political leaders, of which the integrity of the position connected to the right character, in many ways is analysed and questioned. The trend is that we are moving towards a personification of political leaders where personal appearance plays an increasing role. We live with perceptions of how a
Påföljden för mord ändrades år 2009 och en mer nyanserad påföljdsmodell infördes. Tidigare hade påföljden för mord antingen varit fängelse i 10 år eller på livstid, men nu infördes istället en modell, som gav domstolarna mer utrymme att utdöma tidsbestämda fängelsestraff mellan 10 och 18 år samt på livstid. Rättspraxis har förändrats under årens lopp, men genomgående har det uttalats att livstidThe penalty for murder was modified in 2009 and a more nuanced model of penalty was introduced. Earlier the penalty for murder either was prison being jailed for 10 years or life imprisonment, but now there instead was a model introduced that gave the courts more space to judge fixed term sentences between 10 and 18 years as well as for life imprisonment. Case law has been changed over the years,
Hur kan vi förstå och tolka massmedias rapportering i artiklar om Ryssland. Hur kan vi förstå och tolka medias rapportering? Spekulerar de eller rapportera de fakta? Dessa frågor är i centrum på grund av den senaste tidens debatt i media om falska nyheter och desinformation. I denna uppsats görs en innehållsanalys av tidningsartiklar som är knutna till ämnet Ryssland, under tiden 29 oktober 2016 t
This study examines the relationship between textual and visual narratives as well as the gaze upon the Orient as Other by analysing a Swedish, illustrated edition of the Arabian Nights from 1958-63. This research draws upon a multitude of theoretical perspectives on the gaze from the field of visual culture, combined with Edward Said’s critical notion of orientalism. The material is studied in t
Bostadsbristen slår hårdast mot dem som redan står längst ifrån bostadsmarknaden. Unga, nysvenskar och äldre har fått det svårare att få sina bostadsbehov tillgodosedda. Det svenska bostadsbyggandet har sedan år 2006 varit lågt i förhållande till befolkningsutvecklingen (Boverket 2015:a). Effekterna av ett lågt bostadsbyggande är bland annat en ökad trångboddhet, osäkra boendeförhållanden, svarthaThe effects of a housing shortage will be hardest on those groups, who are far from being a part of the housing market. It is becoming more and more difficult for young adults, immigrants and elderly to find a solution for their housing needs in Sweden. Since 2006, the rate of construction of housing in Sweden has been relatively low compared to the population growth rate (Boverket 2015:a). The ef
This thesis seeks to examine the construction of national identity in the nationalist party the Sweden Democrats. By drawing on a theoretical framework informed by discourse theory and psychoanalysis this thesis highlights aspects of national construction which has been neglected by other studies in this field. By supplementing the more common discourse theory with Lacanian psychoanalysis, it is a
A common tool for tissue ablation is the use of heat. For the imILT technique investigated in this project, the heat is induced by the usage of laser light. The light is absorbed by the tissue and is thus turned into heat, the amount absorbed depends on the optical properties of the tissue, such as absorption and scattering. In imILT such as in other laser based ablation techniques, optical fibers
Since the formation of the European Union (EU), European integration and the policies adopted to achieve this objective are a growing topic of interest and concern for different fields of scholarship. The single market driven EU project involves a proliferating and complicated bureaucracy which in itself, generates more bureaucracy. Coping with this development has seen the EU establish decentrali
This thesis analyzes the way peace and justice interact within the latest Colombian peace process between 2012-2016. This process was the first attempts at ending hostilities between the government and the FARC-EP in a decade. This thesis is carried out as an idea analysis of three different material categories: joint material from peace-negotiations, and materials attributed to the government or
Denna uppsats är en undersökning som syftar till att utreda Fi:s politiska strategier när de möter kritiken från de etablerade partierna i Malmös kommunfullmäktige. I uppsatsen förklaras kort om Feministiskt Initiativets (Fi) politiska partiprogram i Malmö stad under det senaste året. Utifrån tidigare/empiriska forskningar, kring kvinnoorganisationer, kommer denna undersökning att visa hur Fi:s po
This qualitative case study focused on three companies from three different industries, all representing a different sized employer in Finland. What the companies have in common, is that they are all female-dominated. The study aimed to provide a description on the problems that these employers in female-dominated industries face, when it comes to paid maternity leave. To answer this question, the
The use of wireless communication has grown rapidly over the last three decades. The Swedish Post and Telecom Authority estimates that more than 80% of all mobile traffic is received or transmitted from within buildings and the number is expected to reach over 90% in the near future. Meanwhile, the number of energy efficient buildings on the Swedish housing market has increased. This type of build
