This report aims to give insights to the oat processing industry and the effects of kilning and storage. Temperature and relative humidity used during kilning of oat kernels was shown to have a large effect on protein solubility and lipase inactivation. Steaming with saturated steam at 90 ℃ was found to inactivate all lipases, but still leave a relatively high protein solubility. An industrial kil

Det här examensarbetet innefattar framtagningen av ett verktyg som hjälper produktutvecklare designa ergonomiska produkter. Många produkter som idag når tillverkning, eller till och med marknaden, är inte alltid så ergonomiska som det hade kunnat önskas. Emellertid kan dessa problem förebyggas i ett tidigt skede genom väl genomtänkt utformning på produkter och adekvata ergonomiska utvärderingar. DThis master thesis consists of the development of a tool which helps product developers design ergonomic products. Many products which end up being manufactured, or end up on the market, are not as well thought out as one could wish. However, this problem can be prevented at an early stage by well thought out designs and adequate evaluations. This was a topic discussed with Avalon Innovation Techn

Övergångsrättvisa (transitional justice) är en term som beskriver hur länder med hjälp av juridiska och icke-juridiska åtgärder hanterar storskaliga övergrepp mot mänskliga rättigheter. Övergångsrättvisa används bland annat för att hålla förövare ansvariga och bringa försoning.

Enligt regelverken tillämpliga i icke-internationella väpnade konflikter, gemensamma artikeln 3 i Genèvekonventionerna samt tilläggsprotokoll 2, erbjuds skydd till civila som inte direkt deltar i strid. En gemensam definition av vad som anses vara direkt deltagande i strid existerar inte i tillämpliga traktat i den internationella humanitära rätten och inte heller förser nationell eller internatioThe regulations applicable in non-international armed conflicts, Common Article 3 to the Geneva Conventions I-IV and Additional Protocol II, offer protection to civilians who do not directly participate in the hostilities. There is no commonly accepted definition of direct participation in hostilities in treaty-based international humanitarian law, State practice or international jurisprudence.

Bakgrunden till denna studie kommer från min egen musikutbildning och de hinder jag stött på vilka främst varit av en psykologisk karaktär. Det antyder att musikern stöter på många dolda problem men också att vi har mycket dold potential som vi inte använder. Kognitiv psykologi handlar om mentala processer så som uppmärksamhet, minne, språkutnyttjande, iakttagelseförmåga, problemlösning, kreativitThe background to my study stems from my own music education and the struggles I have had which has almost always been of a psychological variety and that suggests that the musician has a lot of hidden struggles. Cognitive psychology is about mental processes such as; perception, judgment, memory, language use, problem solving, creativity and thinking which is used while making music. In this stud

By observing a horse´s shape and movement you can get information about signs of disease.

Uppmaningen till att leva hållbart genomsyrar samhället, fast en övergång till hållbara liv är långt ifrån verklighet. Genom att förstå hur individer ser på hållbara liv i relation till välmående kan potentiellt hjälpa människor i övergången till mer hållbara liv.

This study was pre-registered to examine the valence of how people view sustainable lifestyle

Snö. Vid en första anblick upplevs ett snötäckt landskap som kallt, livlöst och förödande. Varje år förbereder sig landskapet för vintern genom att tappa löv, gå i ide eller förflytta sig söderut. Tyvärr är det dock få som vet hur viktig snön är för vår existens. En snörik eller en torr vinter formar sommaren. Snötäcket hjälper till att bevara fukten i jorden och kan förebygga de kraftiga skogsbräSnow. At first sight a snow-covered landscape is considered cold, lifeless and destructive. Each year the landscape prepares for the winter by losing its leaves, going into hibernating or moving to a warmer climate. Snow is far from being just a lifeless white powder covering the ground. Unfortunately, only a few people know how important snow is for our existence. The previous winter season molds
