Hur ser framtidens jordbruk ut? Hur ska utmaningar som klimatförändringar och försämrade jordbruksmarker kunna hanteras samtidigt som tillräckliga mängder mat produceras för att föda den ständigt växande mänskliga befolkningen? Genom pyrolys, det vill säga upphettning av biomassa utan tillgång till syre, skapas biokol, ett stabilt material med hög porositet och mycket hög kolhalt. Biokol kan plöjaBiochar is a recalcitrant carbon rich solid product widely praised for the ability to improve soil fertility and sequester carbon, thereby improving crop yields and mitigating climate change. In addition to this, gaseous by products from production can be combusted for energy. Despite the recent global peaks in biochar research, studies focused on temperate regions are relatively scarce and few Eu

Ett patent är en immateriell rättighet som medför en ensamrätt för patenthavaren att dra affärsmässig nytta av en viss uppfinning under en begränsad tidsperiod. Den som kränker patenthavarens ensamrätt gör sig skyldig till patentintrång. Vid patentintrång tillhandahåller den svenska patentlagen (1967:837) ett antal olika sanktionsmöjligheter. De primära civilrättsliga sanktionsformerna utgörs av pA patent is a kind of intellectual property right that grants the patent holder an exclusive right to profit from a certain invention for a limited time period. Anyone who violates the patent holder's exclusive right is guilty of patent infringement. In cases of patent infringement the Swedish Patent Act (patentlag 1967: 837) provides a number of different sanction options. The primary civil s

Klimatförändringar är idag ett faktum och påverkar både människor och vår omgivning världen över. I Lund i södra Sverige beräknas både mängden och frekvensen av extrema skyfall att öka i framtiden, som konsekvenser av klimatförändringarna, vilket skapar stor risk för översvämningar. Samtidigt växer befolkningen och fler bostäder behövs men när nya stadsdelar byggs så finns det risk för att permeabThe consequences of climate change affect our environment as well as humanity all over the world. For the city of Lund in southern Sweden, climate change consequences are seen as an increase of both intensity and frequency of extreme rain events, which causes an extensive risk for pluvial flooding. Simultaneously, the population and need for housing are growing. When building new districts, the pe

The shift to an activity-based way of working entails a change in how we view our work and our workplace. Some years ago, not many people had heard of activity-based working, but today there are many organizations around the world that apply an activity-based approach. This report aims to describe and analyze leaders’ experiences of activity-based working in different organizations. For the method

In majority of academic literature related to BDSM (bondage-discipline, dominance-submission, and sadism-masochism) the focus is often centred on men and their experiences within the community. The limited focus on women and their motivations to engage in BDSM dynamics has been a driving force in this thesis. Therefore, this research aims to address this gap and explore female BDSM practitioners&#

Summary This master thesis evaluates the benefits of using multi-echelon control instead of single-echelon control of a multi-echelon inventory system. The multi-echelon inventory system studied in this thesis is a one-warehousemultiple- retailer inventory system. Multi-echelon inventory control is defined as a method to optimize the inventory system by taking the interdependencies between differe

Chemicals are developed and produced in order to meet the desired features of various chemical products. Chemical substances can sometimes cause adverse health or environmental effects when humans and the environment are exposed to them. Landstinget Blekinge (the county council of Blekinge) uses large amounts of chemical products annually. Products such as cleaning products, hygiene products, dent

Begrepp som kreativitet och innovation har aldrig varit så viktiga som de är idag.

Measurement of cortisol concentration can contribute important information about an individual's ability to adjust to various environmental demands of both physical and psychosocial origin. However, one uncertainty that affects the possibilities of correctly interpreting and designing field studies is the lack of observations of the impact of seasonal changes on cortisol excretion. For this reason

Most fractures heal uneventfully but some evolve into nonunions. Autologous bone graft is the gold standard for stimulating healing. However, donor site morbidity, and limited graft supply make alternatives interesting. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins, BMPs, are growth factors involved in bone signaling. They are available in recombinant form for local application in nonunions and stimulate differenti

In Sweden the incidence of microtia is about 2 per 10,000 births. Reconstruction of the external ear is possible by using autologous rib cartilage in three surgical steps: rib cartilage transplantation, ear elevation and final adjustments. Although t

Medgärningsmannaskapet är en komplex rättsfigur som både tillämpats och kommit till uttryck på olika sätt. Det är en oförutsägbar konstruktion och därför intressant att studera och lätt att kritisera. Uppsatsens syfte är att redogöra för medgärningsmannaskapets rättsliga stöd, tillämpning och uttryck samt huruvida konstruktionen tillämpats i linje med en sådan medverkanslära som StraffrättskommiIn Sweden there is a complex legal construction called “medgärningsmannaskap” (perpetrators of parties to a crime) that is both applied and expressed in many different ways. It is an unpredictable unit in the Swedish legal system and thus interesting to study and easy to criticize. The purpose of this thesis is to describe on what legal foundation “medgärningsmannaskapet” is built upon, how it is

The existence and staffing of reference desks in academic libraries has been a topic of debate for at least 30 years. As digital library services have grown in significance, some argue that the physical desk no longer serves the needs and wishes of patrons. The use of the academic librarian behind the desk has also been questioned – studies have shown a gain in efficiency when letting student work
