Several studies show that the use of pesticides within agricultural management have led to increased losses of biodiversity. However, information on the effects of garden pesticides on non-target organisms and the type of products used in private gardens are lacking. With a focus on Lund municipality, an initial inventory of available plant protection products in stores was performed. The study sh

Three-dimensional food printing is an emerging application within the realm of 3D printing with the potential of transforming the foods we consume. The technique harbors incredible potential for improving the eating experience of people suffering from dysphagia, an ailment which causes discomfort at the time of swallowing. Patients suffering from this condition have special diets consisting of tex

Children can be exposed to chemical substances by applying cosmetic products. Using cosmetic constitute a health risk when a cosmetic product contains toxic substances. There are today many different cosmetic products especially developed to be used by children. According to the rules stated by EU legislation 1223/2009, cosmetic products must be correctly labelled and must not to contain the forbi

This study aims to deduce what Japanese native speakers think of the Japanese writing systems, and in particular what native speakers’ opinions are concerning Kanji, the logographic writing system which consists of Chinese characters. The Japanese written language has something that most languages do not; namely​ a total of three writing systems. First, there is the Kana writing system, which cons

Clay as a craft material has fascinated me for a long time. It is a very versatile material that can be so smooth and ductile but also, after firing, extremely hard and strong. Why is this material, with all its characteristics not used as an architectural material more often? I started looking at ceramic materials in architecture and found that they are somewhat related to the act of waiting. In

I dagsläget utförs fullskaliga kapacitetsprov på sprinkleranläggningar med syfte att undersöka om erforderligt tryck och flöde kan erhållas i händelse av brand. Fullskaliga kapacitetsprov är däremot relaterade till risker som lågt tryck i vattenledningsnät, blödning på gjutjärnsrör, översvämning av lågt belägna områden och tryckslag i rör. I detta arbete undersöks om reducerade kapacitetsprov sammTo this date, full-scale capacity tests are performed in sprinkler facilities in order to investigate if sufficient pressure and flow can be achieved in case of fire. Full-scale capacity tests may, however, cause problems such as low pressure in pipes, scaling of pipe walls, flooding of low topography areas, and water hammer. This report intends to research whether reduced capacity tests together

In Rev.IV:137, Christ told St. Birgitta that pilgrims to Vadstena could receive the same plenary indulgence as the one granted to the church San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. The privilege was highly disputed, but in Vadstena the pilgrims crowded anyway on the feast of St. Peter in Chains on August 1, a feast where the deliverance from the captivity of sin was pivotal. This study is based on extant s

Tack vare nytänkande teknik och den tekniska utvecklingen, har en kombination av Cloud Computing, Internet of Things och Data Analytics kunnat realisera fenomenet smarta hem. Med syfte om att underlätta hushållens vardag genom diverse smarta enheter har tekniken med ständigt internetanslutna enheter i hushållen som hanterar känslig och personligt identifierbar data, har dock orosmoln kring den per

Den här studien syftar till att undersöka, diskuterar och problematiserar hur politiska nätaktivister, så kallade clicktivister, mobiliserar och kommunicerar under en organisationskris. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i fallet Bokmässan. Organisationens Facebooksida blev en plats för intensiv debatt när det blev känt att den högerpopulistiska tidningen Nya Tider skulle delta på mässan. Studien undersThe purpose of the study is to problematize and discuss the mobilization and communication of online-based activists, so-called “clicktivists”, in an organizational crisis. The study examines the case of the Gothenburg Book Fair, where the organization’s Facebook page became an arena for debate because of a far-right newspaper’s plans to attend the book fair. The study examines the discourses prod

För att avgöra huruvida en isälvsavlagring som enligt Sveriges Geologiska Undersökning (SGU) bedöms ha uttagsmöjligheter på >125 l/s väster om Finjasjön är lämplig som reservgrundvattentäkt till Hässleholms kommun utfördes en geofysisk undersökning. Mätningar utfördes med georadar, stångslingram med tre frekvenser samt resistivitetsmätning och inducerad polarisation (IP) i form av en CVES-mätning

Animals monitor environmental ques by translating them into electrical signals through a depolarization of the electric potential over the cell membrane of nerve cells. A way to initiate the depolarization is through activation of receptors that are ion channels. These channels can facilitate the diffusion ions across membranes driven by the differences in concentration and electrical charge on ea

Ett behov av bostadsförtätning i städerna grundar sig i den ständigt ökande befolkningen, urbaniseringen och influensen av hållbar utveckling. Förtätningen är ett stadsplanerarverktyg som stödjer en hållbar stadsutveckling och ska möta efterfrågan efter centralt belägna bostäder. Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka möjligheter för de olika förtätningsstrategier som finns samt vilka som går

Sveriges terrorhotnivå ligger på en fortsatt förhöjd risk enligt Nationellt centrum för terrorhotbedömning (NCT). Terrorism och terroristorganisationer upplevs som ett hot mot samhället och den svenska regeringen vill motverka terrorismen genom att motverka terroristorganisationernas organisationsrätt. Uppsatsen avser att redogöra för föreningsfriheten för terroristmedlemmar i Sverige genom att stSweden’s National center of terrorist threat assessment group (NCT) states that the threat of terrorism against Sweden is still increased. Terrorism and terrorist organizations pose a threat to the democratic society and the government of Sweden aims to protect its country from terrorist organizations by limiting their freedom of association. This essay aims to describe the extent and limits of f

In order to counteract the ongoing climate change, fossil fuels must be replaced with renewable alternatives in all sectors of society. The transport system is one of Sweden’s most important fossil dependent branches to redirect in this regard. Research suggests that biogas is a renewable alternative that in comparison with other biofuels seem to have a substantial potential and environmental adva

Due to climate change more frequent and vigorous weather events are expected. This can be extreme precipitation that can lead to flooding, heat waves and drought. When urban areas are densified the imperviousness of the land surface will grow due to the increase of hard surfaces. This makes the areas more vulnerable to flooding and the hard surface will trap heat in the city which can result in hi

Erosion av vattendrags flodbottnar och intilliggande strandmiljö är ett stort samhällsproblem som förväntas öka i takt med framtida klimatförändringar. Statens geotekniska institut (SGI) har erhållit anslag för att kartlägga större vattendrag i Sverige med hänseende på risken för skred i framtiden till följd av klimatförändringar. Ett vattendrags sårbarhet för erosion kan bedömas utifrån ett indexErosion of river basins and adjacent bank environment is a major environmental problem that is expected to increase in the future due to climate change. The Swedish geotechnical institute (SGI) has been granted funding by the Swedish government for mapping major rivers in Sweden with regard to the risk of landslides due to climate change. A river's vulnerability to erosion can be assessed base
