Increased population and living standards promotes an unsustainable usage of natural resources. In recent years, increased focus has been put on the bio-refinery industry which shows promising attributes where 5-hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) is a prominent platform chemical. In this project, production of HMF from fructose using primarily acid silica under benign reaction conditions was investigate
Prebiotics are non-digestible carbohydrates that selectively stimulate the growth and activity of health promoting bacteria in the colon, resulting in homeostasis to the gut environment. It is considered to be the solution of many health-related diseases such as type-2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Arabinoxylooligosaccharides, the hydrolysis product of arabinoxylan from plant cell w
The current Syrian crisis has pushed over 4.8 million people to seek asylum abroad, mainly in the neighbouring countries. In Jordan urban refugees, who represent 82% of registered refugees, lack visibility and help. Women are in a particularly difficult situation due to their multiple burdens as caregivers and homemakers. Yet, Syrian forced migrant women settled in the capital city of Amman demons
This thesis explores the right to access employment for persons with disabilities under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It seeks to ascertain what entitlements and for whom this right entails. Given the central conceptual role disability and equality play in the Convention, this thesis explores the prevailing models of understanding of both disability and equality. Af
Godstransporter på väg står för ungefär 7 % av Sveriges totala växthusgasutsläpp och godstransportarbetet förväntas öka med drygt 65 % till år 2040, delvis till följd av ökad globalisering. Enligt IPCC:s senaste rapport är transportsektorn ett prioriterat område för att begränsa miljöpåverkan och den statliga utredningen om fossilfri fordonstrafik pekar ut minskad användning av fossila bränslen ocHeavy transport accounts for about 7 % of total Swedish greenhouse gas emissions and freight activity is expected to increase by more than 65 % in 2040, partly as a result of globalization. According to the latest report from IPCC, the transport sector is a priority to limit the environmental impact and the government report on fossil fuel independence proposes reduced use of fossil fuels and incr
Den svenskproducerade filmtrilogin Snabba cash utkom under åren 2010-2013 och fick stor spridning. Handlingen utspelas huvudsakligen i Stockholm och tar avstamp i karaktärernas jakt på pengar genom kriminalitet. Föreliggande studies två frågeställningar är hur svenskhet och vithet representeras i filmtrilogin, samt hur dessa representationer anknyter till rasism i Sverige. Det teoretiska ramverket
År 2016 var det 16 procent av Sveriges sjuksköterskor som hade besvär till följd av stress och psykiska påfrestningar från sitt arbete. På grund av de konsekvenser som arbetsrelaterad stress orsakar kan vårdpersonals upplevelse av stress på arbetsplatsen leda till utbrändhet och sjukskrivningar. En litteraturstudie genomfördes för att sammanställa befintlig forskning vilken belyser faktorer som bi
A computational method is described and tested for prediction of ligand-binding poses between the human farnesoid X receptor and a set of 36 potential agonists, provided by the D3R Grand Challenge 2016. Using tools such as Molecular Docking, Molecular Dynamics, Reconnaissance metadynamics and cluster analysis, the method is an attempt to predict the binding pose without being biased by experimenta
Klimatförändringen förväntas orsaka 20-25% kraftigare regnoväder i Sverige vilket, tillsammans med urbaniseringen, ökar sannolikheten för översvämningar i urbana områden. En översvämningen kan innebära stora materiella skador och kostnader för samhället. För att förebygga dessa behövs mer kunskap om vilka områden i staden som är mest utsatta. Information om var och när stora vattenmängder väntas kClimate change is expected to cause 20-25% heavier rainfall in Sweden which, in combination with the ongoing urbanization, increases the probability of flooding in urban areas. These floods may cause large infrastructural damage and economical costs. Therefore, adequate models for overland flow are needed to identify high-risk areas where mitigating actions should be performed. In this thesis a ne
Now everything is different. Uncertain in a way. We have no idea where we’re going. It seems as if the explanatory models at our disposal aren’t even able to explain where we are today. The world is changing in a pace unprecedented in history. It seems extremely hard to understand how we’re supposed to orient ourselves in such a world. How are we supposed to dream? And what should we dream about?
The usage and potential usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in our society grows rapidly and therefore an interest of how to design such a craft was sparked. The ability of an autonomous flight is valuable in many applications and requires that the craft is equipped with a GPS-module. If the connection is lost the UAV’s itinerary may differ from the predetermined one. Because of this an altern
Syfte: Studien syftar till att undersöka om blankning påverkar aktieavkastning på den svenska börsen. Metod: Data, hämtad från Thomson Reuters Datastream, Nasdaq OMX Nordic samt Finansinspektionen, har sammanställts i Microsoft Excel. Regressioner har sedan körts i EViews med den bearbetade datan. Datan testas som en multipel regressionsmodell med paneldata. Tre kontrollvariabler inkluderas. Te
Denna studie har som syfte att ur ett nätteknisk- såväl som affärsmässigt perspektiv undersöka hur tekniken Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) kan jämna ut effekttoppar och minska belastningen i högt belastade lokalnät. Detta genom att låta elbilens batteri fungera som ett energilager med tvåvägskommunikation mellan bil och hushåll. Projektet har utformats tillsammans med E.ON Elnät i Malmö och behandlar ett e
One of the most promising alternatives to reduce global CO2 emissions is the replacement of fossil fuels by biofuels in the transportation sector. Production of biofuels from energy crops or residues arises as an answer, but the technology is still costly to be implemented at commercial scale. This project proposes reducing bioethanol production costs by using animal bedding as feedstock. The main
Syftet med studien var att undersöka ledarpersonlighetsdrag och ledarskapsbeteende som efterfrågats hos chefer i 105 jobbannonser som ingått i studien. Fokus för jobbannonserna har varit tre på förhand valda sektorer och arbetstitlar, ekonomichef, försäljningschef och HR-/personalchef. Eftersom samhället ser annorlunda ut idag än vad det gjorde för bara några år sedan har dagens ledare fått en annThe aim of this study was to investigate leadership traits and leadership behavior that is asked for in 105 selected job ads for managerial positions. The focus of the job ads were three pre-selected sectors and job titles, finance manager, sales manager and HR / personnel manager. Because society is different today than it just to be a few years ago, today's leaders have a different role. The
Ambitionen med uppsatsen "När gamla tekniker blir konst – vinylskivan i den digitala tidsåldern" är att analysera dagens vinylentusiasters förhållningssätt till vinylskivor i en kvalitativ undersökning av en diskussionstråd på ett svenskt internetforum. Uppsatsen syftar till att ge en bild av hur man kan se på fenomenet att intressera sig för den föregångna tekniken vinylskivan i en digi
A simulation in bioprocess technology was carried out in order to evaluate the accessibility and adequacy of the simulation software SuperProDesigner used on an academic level. This was done by recreating an existing process and studying the results as well as observing the diculties and limitations along the way. The study in question was a biohydrogen production plant consisting of three parts.
Unsustainability is persistent despite growing awareness that the industrial way of life, its modes of production and consumption need to be transformed. In academic sustainability contexts, however, attention is rarely paid to how industrial societies basically operate and how our everyday life is implicated beyond the usual suspect: consumerism. I argue that it is work, as central social relatio
The modern mobile networks such as the Cloud Radio Network Access (C-RAN) are developing to deal with upcoming requirements in the current generation $4$\textsuperscript{th} Generation (4G) and the upcoming generation i.e. the $5$\textsuperscript{th} Generation (5G). One of the challenges in the modern communication systems is the required high data traffic specially at the fronthaul. Fronthaul in
