The city of Lund updates the handling plan of garden waste with the desire to use it for biogas production. Garden waste works best as biogas substrate when it is separated in two fractions. Today, however, there are no sorting of the residents’ garden waste. The aim of the thesis is to explore how private households can sort out a fraction of garden waste that can be used to produce biogas. First
Popular science summary: Potential Distribution for the Endangered Asian Wild Ass Over the past century, large mammals have been globally under increasing pressure of humanized landscapes. Since extirpations of large herbivores are likely to have complicated consequences for the entire ecosystem, their conservation is a priority. With almost 81% threatened species, Perissodactyla (odd-toad ungu
In order to improve companies' and public health organizations' abilities to forecast the future beverage market volumes, it is crucial to identify the determinants of beverage consumption. Based on the market volume panel data from 2005 to 2020, this thesis formulates a fixed-effect model to examine the causal relationship between the population share of young adults and the market volume

Syftet med förevarande uppsats är att belysa den sakrättsliga problematiken kring lösöreköp genom att undersöka huruvida avtalsprincipen är förenad med tillräckligt stora fördelar för att ersätta den nu gällande traditionsprincipen. Traditionsprincipen har tillämpats i svensk rätt sedan 1800-talet. Dessförinnan erhöll en köpare skydd mot säljarens borgenärer genom köpeavtalet, i enlighet med avtaThe purpose of this essay is to throw light upon the complexity of the branch of law as regards the Swedish law of property and inquire whether the advantages of the doctrine of consensus exceed the benefits of maintaining the existing doctrine of traditio. The doctrine of traditio has existed in Swedish law since the 19th century. Before that, the buyer obtained protection against the seller’s cr
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
The aim of this qualitative study was to examine professional attires’ meaning for social workers’ construction of the professional role. The questions focused on in this study were: how does the social worker perceive the attires’ meaning in meetings with clients; what meaning does professional attire hold for the social workers’ perception of their own and their colleagues’ professional role; ho
The purpose of this master’s thesis is to identify and discuss different ideas and methods used by public libraries in order to make the physical library space accessible and important for children and young people. The main question asked is in which different ways a user perspective is visible in children’s libraries development concerning the physical space. Case studies were chosen as method t
This research aims to investigate water-based varnishes and technologies to coat fiber-based closures to attain water barrier properties. To ensure recyclability the repulpability of coated and uncoated lids is tested. The research approach is exploratory. The investigation begins with the application of varnishes using a spray gun, brush, and dip coating followed by spraying equipment from Sprayi
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka psykometriska egenskaper för Compassion fatigue inventory (CFI), som ett instrument för att mäta compassion fatigue hos lärare. Vi undersökte även om nivån av compassion fatigue kunde predicera lärares benägenhet att agera i en mobbningssituation. En konfirmatorisk faktoranalys utfördes och vi fann att den gav otillräckligt stöd för den tre-faktorstruktur The purpose of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Compassion Fatigue Inventory (CFI) as a tool for measuring compassion fatigue among teachers. We also examined whether the level of compassion fatigue could predict teachers' propensity to act in a bullying situation. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed, and we found that it provided insufficient support f
This thesis explores how contemporary Swedish Jews narrate their experiences of antisemitism. A central aim is to examine if and how the narrative norm of the cultural Holocaust memory – as formulated by Zoe Waxman – is reflected in present-day narratives of antisemitism. To make possible, the study employs a narrative discourse analysis. The findings suggest that the narrative norm of cultural Ho
This study aimed to quantify and compare zooplankton feeding interactions in terms of diet composition, ingestion rate, and food size selectivity of a copepod (Acartia tonsa) and a cladoceran (Evadne nordmanni). This was achieved by surveying the grazing impact of A. tonsa and E. nordmanni on the natural phytoplankton, microzooplankton and microbial community occurring in autumn in coastal Skagera
Using cardiac computed tomography (CT), images of both the left and right ventricle can be acquired. Potential findings of interest are for example enlarged ventricles or inadequate pumping, which can be used for diagnosis. The analysis requires that the ventricles are outlined, either manually or automatically. Automated segmentation methods for clinical use exist for the left ventricle but not f
Uppsatsen ämnar besvara hur företag arbetar för och rapporterar om verksamhetens jämställdhetsarbete, samt varför de väljer att offentliggöra verksamhetsarbetet genom hållbarhetsrapporter. För att besvara frågorna har såväl primär som sekundär data använts. En kvalitativ undersökning har genomförts av författarna, där information från 10 privatägda företag från olika branscher samlats in och sammaThe purpose of this essay is to examine how enterprises work towards greater gender equality and how they report about their work. It also aims to analyze why enterprises choose to compile these activities and measurements into official reports. In order to answer the questions asked in the essay, both primary and secondary data has been used. A qualitative survey has been conducted, where the aut
A basic theoretical model that describes the effects of flow in and out of the imaging plane in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) images, obtained with the standard pulse sequences single spin echo, multiple spin echo, and inversion recovery, is presented. Theoretically calculated signal values are compared with experimental results obtained from single-slice images of a flow phantom for variable f
Background Some evidence suggests that chronic kidney disease is a risk factor for lower-extremity peripheral artery disease. We aimed to quantify the independent and joint associations of two measures of chronic kidney disease (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] and albuminuria) with the incidence of peripheral artery disease. Methods In this collaborative meta-analysis of international
Large drop towers let you experience a couple of seconds of nearly free fall before stopping gracefully in magnetic brakes or bouncing a number of times on compressed air, as in the Turbo Drop tower considered in this work, where many complementary representations are used. An accelerometer taken along on the ride captured the forces experienced by the body, and a pressure sensor provided a simult
