Pentaklorfenol (PCP) är en klorerad aromatisk förening som användes flitigt för att behandla trä mot mikrobiell nedbrytning innan den blev förbjuden på 70-talet. På grund av dess höga löslighet förekommer PCP som en grundvattenförorening kring äldre sågverk. Hjortsberga i södra Sverige är ett exempel på denna typ av förorening och är det område som undersöks i arbetet. Förorenat grundvatten spridsPentachlorophenol (PCP) is a chlorinated aromatic compound that was commonly used for treatment of wood against microbial degradation before it got banned in the 1970s. Due to its solubility in water, PCP is a common groundwater contaminant around old sawmills, for example near Hjortsberga in southern Sweden where this study was performed.. The contaminated groundwater is spreading and leaking int

Nära infrarött ljus (NIR) kan användas för att säkerställa djurfodrens näringsinnehåll Det är viktigt att kunna garantera att djurfoder innehåller rätt mängd näringsämnen, oavsett vilken sorts fettkälla (såsom vegetabiliska oljor eller fiskolja) som används vid fodertillverkning. Detta kan göras med NIR-teknik! För att djur ska vara välmående är det viktigt att de får i sig rätt mängd näringsämnThe aim with this master thesis was to investigate if a certain sow feed requires different calibrations in near-infrared analysis, due to if the sow feed have fish oil or AkoFeed as fat source. To investigate this, a basic sow feed mix was prepared and divided in 60 jars with 250 g in each. In 30 of the jars 0 to 15 g fish oil were added and in the other 30 jars 0 to 21 g AkoFeed were added. 2/

The main purpose behind this paper was to research what factors that can be seen as significant to an individual who has chosen a path of trying to become free from a drug addiction.

The aim of this study was to shed light on how children and young adults that were subject to foster care placement were described in the advertisement of the Swedish website Familjehemsbanken, according to the fourth and eighteenth guideline of Consolidated Code of Advertising and Marketing Communication Practice. The purpose of our study was to problematize how children and young adults were des

The aim for this project is to improve and replace ArjoHuntleigh´s existing scoop stretcher with a new concept. The field-of-use for the current stretcher is in hospital- and homecare, although other competitive scoop stretchers are used for ambulance emergency care. For this reason, the possibility to extend the target group is investigated. Firstly, a comprehensive study, i.a. through study vis

The paper presents the development and outlines initiatives taken by the Swedish government, and the European Union in order to address issues of declining trust and confidence for the business society.

This report deals with the implementation of a Japanese word prediction engine written by the author. As this type of software does not seem to exist for Japanese at the time of writing, it could prove useful in Japanese augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) as a software tool used to improve typing speed and reduce the amount of keystrokes needed to produce text. Word prediction, in co

The space of open source supply chain attacks is ever evolving and growing. There is extensive previous work identifying and collecting open source supply chain attacks, as well as identifying patterns in these attacks and proving that machine learning models may be able to detect these patterns. The aim of this thesis is to develop such a system and study its efficacy in detecting attacks. To ac

Nyckeln bakom en lyckad (torrpulver-) formulering För att möjliggöra en lyckad administrering av inhalationsläkemedel är det många faktorer som spelar in. Däribland hur tillverkningen av formuleringen går till. Till skillnad från vad många kanske tror, har inhalation länge använts som ett sätt att administrera läkemedel till lungan. Så länge, att de äldsta fynden daterar tillbaka ända till gamlaFor efficient treatment of many diseases of the lung, it is beneficial to deliver the medicine to the respiratory tract directly. This ensures a rapid response since it can enter the bloodstream directly through the alveolar epithelium. Consequently, also decreases systemic effects due to the local treatment. Dry powder inhaler (DPI) is today one of the most used inhalers for pulmonary delivery.

For many years, indigeneity has been conceptualized as rural, making Indigenous communities and people in cities invisible globally. For the Sámi people, Europe’s only indigenous people, security is mainly understood as physical-centering extraction and environmental degradation. Focusing on the urban Sámi community in Umeå in Sweden, cultural and political belonging in the city arises as vital in

The increased transport needs entails shall be in operation in year 2035. Due to the High-speed of the train, 320 km/h, the larger cities Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö receive a better connection as the commuter will reach the destination much faster. T

The entrepreneurial pitch plays an integral role in attracting financial capital for a new venture. Notably, previous research has shown that (1) female entrepreneurs are often subjected to discriminatory practices when applying for external capital and (2) entrepreneurs’ communication skills and personal attributes influence investor decision making. Building on these findings, this study explore

The aim of this project was to develop a method for simulating the movement of a fluid in a fuel tank of a truck that is in motion. The pressure that is built up on the tank walls was also calculated. Once the method was developed it could be used for analyzing and understanding the phenomenon that is sloshing. The method developed cover all parts of the process, from start to finish. The first

The use of haptics in teleoperation and robotics can help the human operator to greatly improve the performance. This master thesis presents a haptic interface between a haptic device, a Phantom Premium A, and an industrial robot, an IRB140B, on which a force sensor was mounted. This will enable a human operator controlling the Phantom to get information about the environment surrounding the IRB14

Temperate calcareous grasslands are characterized by high levels of species richness at small spatial scales. Nevertheless, many species from a habitat-specific regional species pool may be absent from local communities and represent the dark diversity' of these sites. Here we investigate dry calcareous grasslands in northern Europe to determine what proportion of the habitat-specific species pool
