Varannan tugga i Sverige är importerad från alla världens hörn och det enda vi är helt självförsörjande på är spannmål, socker och morötter. I en krissituation där vi inte längre har tillgång till importerade livsmedel kanske vi får leva på enbart morotskaka om vi inte ökar vår livsmedelsproduktion. Klimatförändringen kommer att påverka hela världen och ändra förutsättningar som vi idag mer eller Only 50 percent of Swedish food supply comes from domestic production, which creates a high dependency on an international trade to import foods. This leads to a high vulnerability within the food system. In order to secure food supply in times of crisis Sweden must increase its food production. According to climate research, future climate will be characterized by a higher rate of extreme weather

Background The widespread antibiotic resistance is an imminent problem in today’s world. As the number of antibiotic resistance cases increase, it is inevitable to discover alternate treatment options. Probiotics could be one of the potentially important avenues which could be exploited to treat antibiotic resistance and other infections. The holistic approach of probiotics in exerting their benef

Pluviala översvämningar inträffar när intensiteten av ett regn överskrider markens förmåga att infiltrera, vilket resulterar i att vattnet istället ansamlas på ytan. Tillräckligt mycket vatten på samma yta leder som bekant till översvämning. Ett typexempel är när korta intensiva regn faller över urbana områden där ytor som asfalt förhindrar infiltrering. Mängden och intensiteten av denna typ av övThe number and impacts of pluvial floods are likely to increase with the growth of our cities and as extreme weather is anticipated to intensify with climate change. Im- proved preparedness is needed which may be attained owing to recent development of high-resolution hydro-meteorological observations and forecasts as well as geographical data. This paper investigates the capacity of the HYPE mode

The growing complexity of the concept of gender highlights the importance for a deeper understanding of the diversity underlying this construct. Recent studies have shown large numbers of individuals experiencing non-conforming feelings with their sex assigned at birth, emphasising the need to gain a better understanding of gender identities outside the binary system, one of these being non-binary

Work-life balance (WLB), especially for female workers is a popular topic being widely discussed in different fields. Yet, there are insufficient studies on how Chinese female workers perceive their own WLB and organizational WLB support. In our research, we hold that WLB is personally interpreted and subjectively perceived. Therefore we conducted interviews with Chinese female workers to explore

The aim of this study was to examine how commuting social workers, who work in child protective services (CPS), experienced their work in a smaller urban environment. Working in CPS means that the social workers sometimes have to take drastic measurements to ensure the protection of children. This may not always go well with the rest of the family and sometimes even lead to hostility in the relati

Joint Operations at the external borders of the EU are axiomatic for EU’s border management policy and constitute forms of collective action involving the efforts of two or more Member States for the purpose of securing the common borders. Nevertheless, participation in joint operations is based on voluntarism and guided by the principle of solidarity, which should act as catalysts encouraging MSs

High quality III-V semiconductors on silicon substrate can make for significant progress in gate electrostatics and optoelectronic devices. Indium antimonide with its inviting properties can play a key role to further facilitate devise integration. But the question is, is it possible to obtain high quality III-V semiconductors on low cost silicon and still be able to manufacture it at large scale?

Förhållanden i och runt Segeå i Skåne har undersökts teoretiskt för att kartlägga möjligheten att främja förekomsten av stormusslor där. Ån är i högsta grad påverkad av det odlingslandskap som omger den, med övergödning som en av följderna, och är ofta väldigt grumlig. Musslor är filtrerare och livnär sig på växtplakton, som bildas i större utsträckning i näringsrika akvatiska miljöer. VäxtplanktoIn this study Segeå has been valued to consider possibilities of increasing the amount of mussels as effective filterers in the creek. The purpose would be to reduce high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus; a result of the agriculture in the area. Mussels filtrate water in search for nutrition, and bind nitrogen and phosphorus in their bodies. Using rapports from mussel projects, contacts on count

This thesis examines the possibility of modelling trajectory and estimating distance during a walk using only a smart phone attached to the waist. Due to GPS not functioning indoors, a navigation system without the need of external communication could be the perfect complement for closed spaces. This thesis considers such a system, where the smart phone contains accelerometer and gyroscope sensors

More and more structural analyses today are being conducted with computer-based tools in comparison to traditional methods using hand calculations. The development, according to the Norweigan scientist Kolbein Bell is shifting from using first order analyses with correction factors, to using second order analyses, with computer-based tools. This dissertation mainly compares analyses of glulam colu

Sedan den 1 juli 2014 räcker det enligt andra stycket för barn att omständigheterna är särskilt ömmande. Innan dess krävdes även för barn synnerligen ömmande omständigheter, men omständigheterna behövde inte If a residence permit cannot be awarded on other grounds, a permit may, according to chapter 5.6 in the Aliens Act, be granted to an alien if there are exceptionally distressing circumstances. Since July 2014, children may be granted permits if the circumstances are particularly distressing. Prior to July 2014, both children and adults needed to meet the criteria exceptionally distressing circumst

Målet är att undersöka hur en ökad installation av solceller kommer att påverka lågspänningsnätet. Öresundskraft efterfrågade en rapport som undersöker framtida problem i deras nät när solcellssystem installeras i större omfattning. Scenarion där olika procentantal kunder i lågspänningsnätet installerar solceller har analyserats och simulerats.

Öresundskraft requested a report on what problems can arise in the future as more and more people start using PV systems. Scenarios where a certain percentage of an area will install PV systems have been simulated, as well as further analysis of the results from the simulations and calcul

It is of interest to design a methodology in predicting the fillability of non-Newtonian viscoelastic product such as meat batter by analyzing its rheological properties, reducing the need to perform pilot plant scale tests. Meat batter with different added water produced in laboratory and pilot plant were analyzed to represent meat batters with different rheological characteristics and filling

Uppsatsen behandlar detaljplaner och vilken roll dessa har vid en kommande bygglovsprövning. Syftet är att utifrån den rättsdogmatiska metoden, utreda om det vid en bygglovsprövning uppkommer några problem med en detaljplan som inte har reglerat byggrätten samt om anpassnings- och omgivningskravet i 2 kap.

Att en detaljplan inte har regThe thesis examines detailed development plans and what position detailed development plans have in a future examination of building permits. In the light of a legal dogmatic method, the purpose is to examine if any problems arise when a detailed development plan does not contain building regulations. Since detailed development plans are valid until they are changed or repealed, there are many e

Detta examensarbete undersöker den nuvarande situationen för cyklande barn i Sverige. Den undersöker ett internationellt och historiskt perspektiv, vilket ger jämförbar information om säkerheten för cyklande barn i andra samhällen. Variationer över tiden i totalt cyklad längd studeras och dess inverkan på säkerheten är noga övervägd. Minskade cykelnivåer visar sig vara en avgörande faktor för säkeThis master thesis investigates the current safety situation for biking children in Sweden. It investigates an international and a historical perspective, which gives comparable information about bike safety for children in other societies. Alterations over time in total biked length is studied and its impact on the safety are considered. Reduction in levels of biking are found to be a vital facto

Dockless bike-sharing is growing in many cities around the globe. At the same time issues related to this type of urban mobility such as illegal or improper parking behavior are becoming more frequent. The implementation of parking zones delineated by geofences has been discussed as a possible solution for these issues. This master thesis project aims to develop a GIS-based multi-criteria analysis

Introduction: A new method for separation and determination of Glyphosate and Glufosinate alongside their respective major metabolites aminomethylphosphonic acid and 3-(methylphosphinico)propionic acid was found then tested in spiked soil and surface water. Background: Most methods today require derivatization for determination and separation of these compounds. Methods without derivatization rel

An increased proportion of trips made by bike is important part of a more sustainable transportation system. It provides benefits both at an individual and societal level – especially when replacing trips that would otherwise have been made by car. To get an understanding of what influences cycling, a statistical analysis is carried out that shows links between socio-economic factors, the physical
