Grey peas are a forgotten grain seed in the Nordic countries as well as Sweden, which are quite unexplored for their potential uses in different food products. Before the cultivation of yellow peas and green peas took over, they used to be the dominating type of peas in Europe in medieval times. They are a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as B vitamins, folates, and Iron.

Effective tax systems play a key role in self-sustained economic growth. Where foreign aid can provide much needed funds for less developed countries, it may also increase aid dependency if the country does not simultaneously improve its taxing capacity. This thesis is empirically investigating the relationship of foreign aid and tax revenue mobilization in a panel of 53 African countries during 1

Bakgrund: I dagens moderna samhälle matas vi med information om ”andras” död, via nyheter, filmer, serier och böcker, men hur hanterar vi när döden kommer ”nära” och berör oss själva? Frågeställning: Hur uppfattar och talar nutidsmänniskan om döden? Metod: Studien är en kvalitativ studie med fenomenologiskt fokus. Jag använder mig av semistrukturerade intervjuer och urvalet är ett så kallat bek

This research provides an overview of some of the frequently occurring themes in discussion of academic criticism toward child sponsorship with Swedish sponsorship staff.

Syfte: beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att fråga kvinnliga patienter om våld i nära relationer. Bakgrund: Våld i nära relationer är ett globalt problem för både samhället i stort och för jämställdheten. Våldet kan innebära psykiskt, fysiskt och sexuellt våld. Sjuksköterskans ansvar innefattas av att fråga om våldsutsatthet, trots detta undviker sjuksköterskor samtal om våld i nära relatio

Attenuation of the microwave signal used in the Global Positioning System (GPS) due to interaction with building structures complicates the task of accurate indoor positioning. For this reason, research on alternative approaches is being performed at universities and companies worldwide. The Global Indoor Navigation (GIN) research project in Lund is one such initiative, where the main goal is to p

Modern software systems often utilize a distributed architecture, which uses the network as the communication channel. This results in the system being dependent on the network performance to behave as expected. The network performance varies, and network faults can occur, which may negatively affect the system. As a system maintainer, it is difficult to know if the problem lies in the service or

Over the last decade, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the world's roads has rapidly increased. Optimization of power consumption in electric powertrains will, therefore, lead to reduced energy usage in the road transport sector. EPOS, is a research project that aims to optimize EV powertrains, with the objectives to minimize cost and power consumption. As a part of the EPOS project, t

Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 2 är en långvarig fysisk sjukdom och beskrivs vara en av de ledande dödsorsakerna i världen. Det är därför viktigt att personer med diabetes typ 2 har en god glykemisk kontroll och ett hälsosamt levnadssätt. Med hjälp av E-hälsa kan god hälsa uppnås både kostnadseffektivt och flexibelt. Syfte: Syftet var att via en litteraturstudie beskriva hur patienter med diabetes typ 2 u

En allt mer åldrande befolkning och ett större fokus på att hålla sig frisk har lett till ett ökat intresse för naturbaserade produkter som ger lugnande och hälsofrämjande effekter som lätt kan inkorporeras i människors vardag. En molekyl som är intressant för sådana applikationer är avenantramider (AVN): en havrebaserad förening som har uppvisat antioxidativ kapacitet och anti-klåda, antiinflammaAs populations grow older and more focus is put on feeling and looking healthy, interest has grown in nature-based products providing soothing, replenishing, and health beneficial effects that can easily be incorporated into people’s everyday lives. A compound interesting for such applications is avenanthramides (AVN): an oat-based compound that has been shown to exhibit antioxidant capacity and a

I denna studie intervjuar jag elever som går sitt tredje år på ett estet/musik-program på gymnasiet. Jag vill få en inblick i deras syn på gehörs- och musiklära-undervisning, mer specifikt om de anser att det finns en överrepresentation av klaviaturen i undervisningen. Eleverna ger sin syn på om de anser att undervisningens upplägg funkar för dem personligen, om den gynnar en viss typ av instrumenI will in this research investigate third year high school students view on music theory education, more specific whether the students feel there is an existing overrepresentation of the clavier in the music theory education or not. The students give their view on whether the education works for them, and if they think the lesson structure benefits a specific group of instrumentalists. They also g

The legal rule gross violation of women’s integrity is structured in such a way that it firstly gets it’s content through the application, and secondly it opens up for a subjective assessment which can provide scope for a standard assessment of the woman in a specific case. This study aims to examine, from a legal realist perspective, how the court frames the offence and portrays the female victim

A large part of the greenhouse gas emissions and energy use comes from the construction industry. This thesis addresses some of the environmental and energy challenges the construction industry faces regarding renovating buildings. The examined building is Trelleborg Energi´s headquarters. Programs such as IDA ICE, Espoo, Renobuild and Miljöbyggnad 3.1 have been used to review and obtain results.

Purchasing has become an increasingly important function in manufacturing companies, as it accounts for a large extent of total spending and influences a company's competitive position. It is relevant for Tetra Pak, a global manufacturer of packaging and processing solutions, active since the 1950s. Tetra Pak has over 100.000 active units at customers site over the world, to service them and o

This master thesis report presents the results of evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å (river) at Ängelholm, located in south-west of Sweden within Scania. The main objectives cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to earlier observ

Bakgrund: Tidigare studier redovisar att en stor del nyexaminerade sjuksköterskor (NS) överväger att lämna yrket inom det första året. NS uppger att det finns en märkbar kunskapsklyfta mellan grundutbildningen och den kliniska kontexten. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa NS erfarenheter av transitionen in i sjuksköterskeprofessionen under deras första yrkesverksamma år. Metod: Studien är en

The aim of this study is to provide empirical evidence on how the drivers behind SR affect the relationship between MCS and SR. The theoretical framework addresses literature on sustainability reporting and management control systems. We adopted the framework by Malmi and Brown (2008) to define the management control systems. Furthermore, three theoretical perspectives are presented to categorize
