Oatly is a company that produces and sells oat based products. Their most selling product is the oat drink, which is a substitute to milk, and over 80 percent of the annual sales volume comes from this product. Since the foundation of Oatly, the main idea has been to sell their products on markets with low milk availability and milk consumption. Most recently, Oatly identified the Chinese market a

As of 2011 the European Union’s Rules of Origin ((RoO)) no longer require textiles to be sourced in the domestic economies of Least Developed Countries ((LDCs)) if they want to export their apparel under the zero-tariff, zero-quota preference scheme. Now, apparel manufacturers are free to use imported textiles. Informed by Normative Power Europe theory, this thesis identifies two core motives of

Relationen mellan personlighet och social önskvärdhet har sedan länge varit debatterad. I denna studie undersöktes individens tendens till att svara socialt önskvärt och deras nivå av neuroticism. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur korrelationen mellan neuroticism och social önskvärdhet såg ut samt hur en pressad situation kan skapa en interaktionseffekt mellan dessa. Studien hade två frågeställThe nature of the relationship between personality and social desirability has long been debated. This study examined the individual's tendency to respond socially desirable and their level of neuroticism. The aim of this study was to examine how the correlation between social desirability and neuroticism looked and whether a pressured situation was causing an interaction effect on the correla

Psykedelika har länge erkänts för sina kraftfulla effekter på det mänskliga psyket och psykedelisk-assisterad terapi blir alltmer erkänd som en effektiv terapeutisk intervention. Placebo används i klinisk forskning för att validera effekten av en terapi eller behandling. Forskare är intresserade av att visa att en viss behandling är överlägsen jämfört med placebo. En utvärdering av den metodologisPsychedelics have long been recognized for their powerful effects on the human psyche and psychedelic-assisted therapy is becoming increasingly acknowledged as an effective therapeutic intervention. Placebos are used in clinical research to validate the efficacy of a therapy or treatment. Researchers are interested in showing that a certain treatment is superior compared to the placebo. An evaluat

Plastic pollution is one of the most severe forms of pollution and the high abundance of microplastics (MP) in aquatic ecosystems is already confirmed. Due to their small size and buoyancy, they are highly bioavailable and have been shown to have a wide range of negative impacts. As a result of their high trophic status and long lifespan, aquatic mammals are susceptible to bioaccumulation and biom

The demand for kidney transplantation is growing while the number of donors continues to be insufficient, prolonging the process. Today’s method has a short time frame for carrying out the transplant, where the kidney must be taken out within 30-60 minutes after death. Due to lack of time and logistics, this often creates a major problem and inhibits transplantation. UGLK Science has developed a s

Humanity is facing one of the greatest challenges ever. Climate change and global warming is a great risk and our consumption and dependency of fossil fuel are important causes of this accelerating issue. My thesis aims to design an entry for the professional debate about what urban areas in a fossil free future might be like. I’m investigating how an urban environment that requires as little tra

The partly autobiographical book Valley of Issa, written by Czeslaw Milosz describes (among other things) the childhood of a boy, Tomasz who is the main character, and his interactions with his relatives. In this essay I will claim that these characters possess startlingly obvious autistic traits, and in relation with this I raise and discuss another question: Does the author Milosz himself expres

Organizations today are increasingly dependent on IS (information systems) to perform vital tasks. Dependence of the IS, and the fact that organizations are exposed to an increasing number of threats has given information security increasing attention within the organizations. Information security has long been perceived as a technical problem. Only recently information security begun to be unders

The private sector plays a more and more important role in securing the progress of infrastructure development. Private sector participation is believed to guarantee more efficiency in the supply of infrastructure services and cut down the cost of this supply. Project finance through the BOT model is an internationally well-recognised method to handle large infrastructure projects. The project met

When referring to the same event, people can have different assumptions. What is interesting to see is why these assumptions are different, why do people have different stories? Some of the reasons could be different levels of expectation, different communication channels or even different cultural backgrounds. We have analysed all these by having a case study within a company that has recently go

En medborgare är gentemot det allmänna skyddad mot frihetsberövande enligt svensk grundlag. Det finns dock undantag från denna grundlagsskyddade rättighet om begränsningen sker genom lag och tillgodoser ändamål som är godtagbara i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Det får aldrig gå utöver vad som är nödvändigt med hänsyn till det ändamål som har föranlett begränsningen. Något som är reglerat i lag och A citizen is against the public protected from detention by the Swedish Constitution. There are exceptions to this fundamental right if the restriction is done by law and meets the purposes that are acceptable in a democratic society. It must never go beyond what is necessary with regard to the purpose which caused the restriction. Something that is regulated by law and is considered acceptable

According to the UN, in 2050, 70% of the world’s population will live in cities. Already 10 % of those city residents live in mega-cities, such as Rio de Janeiro, with a population of more then 10 million people in its wider area. Thus, how to change the development path of cities and how to make them long-term sustainable becomes increasingly important. Lock-ins and complex intertwined issues of;

Silvernanopartiklars toxicitet i miljön – har storleken betydelse? Antibakteriella silvernanopartiklar (AgNP) används i en rad olika konsumentprodukter, men toxicitet och miljöeffekter är inte särskilt välförstådda. Frisättning av silverjoner (Ag+) visade sig vara viktigt för toxiska effecter på bakterier. Dock verkar faktorer i det omgiv-ande mediet, t.ex. vatten, också ha stor effekt på beteenBy the investigation of pollution induced community tolerance (PICT), this study aimed at elucidating whether or not ionic silver (Ag+) and silver nanoparticles (AgNP) differ in toxic mode of action. Specifically, bacterial communities in natural water underwent a 6, 7 or 14 day selection for tolerance to Ag+ or citrate-coated 20 nm AgNPs. Bacterial protein synthesis was measured by [3H]-leucine i

Both energy security and the demand for energy, particularly from renewable energy sources, as principle drivers, call for the investigation of renewable energy potential in Poland. The city of Zabrze, located in the Upper Silesia province and urban zone of Katowice, dedicates continuous efforts to the improvement of its waste management against the background of European Union Directives requirin

Finns det utrymme för kompakta bostäder i en hållbar stadsutveckling? Allt fler människor flyttar till städer. Det påverkar användningen av olika naturresurser men ökar också konkurrensen om mark – en resurs som inte är oändlig – då fler bosätter sig inom städernas begränsade områden. Trots att den genomsnittliga familjen minskat i storlek har bostäder å andra sidan blivit allt större. För att The Earth’s population is steadily increasing and there is a fast growing urbanization as people move from rural areas to cities. Lack of housing is a big issue in many cities. At the same time, dwellings are growing in size demanding more land and natural resources, a development which is not sustainable in the long run. That is problematic as it occupies land and requires natural resources, whic

Archaeology has always centred on material studies and has a long tradition of establishing methods for addressing the vast source material at hand. Typology is one of the most prominent of these methods, where the material is categorised into types according to morphology and geometry. There is an ongoing debate regarding the subjectivity of the typological approach and the problems that follow t
