Plast ger upphov till stora mängder avfall i världen som riskerar att hamna i naturen. Fenomenet med mikroplastpartiklar från konventionell plast beror på att det mesta av den fossilbaserade plasten inte bryts ner biologiskt utan endast vittrar sönder till mindre delar. Detta examensarbete försöker ta reda på om biologiskt nedbrytbar plast kan lösa detta problem. Genom en litteraturstudie undersökThe purpose of this essay is to investigate if biodegradable plastics can solve the plastic littering problem. The essay discusses how bio-plastics is defined in society by different stakeholders such as the bio-plastics industry, science and municipal waste companies. A literature study on the subject of degradation of polymers have been made to find information on how different types of plastic

The world today faces many different environmental problems, which has a negative effect. These are both global, regional and local, which means that they affect all people. To be able to overcome this and be able to promote a long-term sustainability, it is essential that all contribute and take responsibility for it. An example of doing this is to get more people to commute rather than using the

However, no one combined the three distress models of Altman (1968), Ohlson (1980) and Zmijewski (1984) with corporate governance variables. The main goal of this paper is to answer the following question: what is the impact of corporate governance variables on financial distress for traded U.S

Since the first observations of exoplanets, planet-planet scattering has been proposed as a possible mechanism for exciting the eccentricities and inclinations of giant exoplanets. Many works have showed that indeed the ob

This thesis was an investigation to survey how the new automated testing tool LeanFT compared to the older tool UFT. The thesis was an exploration into the tool LeanFT, examining how well LeanFT performed with GUI testing, what features the tool offered and how usable it was for a tester of software. The purpose of this thesis work was to come to a resolution on whether the LeanFT tool was a more

Purpose: This thesis delves into whether acquisition experience is both a valid indicator of increased acquirer returns and leads to participating at certain points during an M&A wave through examining the differences between active and inactive acquirers. This study seeks to provide further understanding of acquisitions during M&A waves with particular interest focused on domestic transac

Syftet med denna uppsats är att systematisera tolkningsläran för försäkringsavtal. Detta för att undersöka om det går att tolka försäkringsavtal på ett enhetligt sätt samt vilka för- respektive nackdelar det kan finnas med en enhetlig tolkningslära. Vidare syftar uppsatsen till att utreda huruvida tolkningsläran är rättvis, under ett synsätt, att tolkningsläran är ett sätt att uppnå rättvisa. ToThe aim of this paper is to establish and implement a framework for the systematic interpretation of insurance contracts. Specifically, this paper will try and establish a uniform means of interpreting an insurance contract, and identify and assess the negative and positive aspects associated with the adoption of such a system. Furthermore, this paper looks to investigate whether or not the interp

Det är inte få gånger man har hört eller läst om att droger, vapen och sprängämnen transporteras via diplomater. Den diplomatiska immuniteten är ett väl utnyttjat system där människor kan komma till skada och vars försvar står maktlös. Regler om diplomatisk immunitet tillhör de äldsta inom folkrätten och den internationella sedvanerätten kodifierades genom Wienkonventionen om diplomatiska förbindeIt hasn’t been a few times that one has heard or read of drugs, weapons and even explosives being transported by diplomats. The diplomatic immunity has been well used and has injured people, but there’s no way of standing against it. The law on diplomatic immunity is among the oldest pieces of regulation in international law and the international custom law has been codified through the Vienna Con

The aim of this thesis is to survey and map out what it means to believe in unexplainable phenomena, that is phenomena not scientifically explained, in a secular late modern society. The study is explorative and used methods are five focus group interviews supplemented with a questionnaire, performed in southwest of Sweden. Used theories in the inductive analysis to explain belief in unexplainable

At the time for the starting point of this master thesis, the Electrolux Healthy Home department where at a high extent looking into how a system of products that could communicate with one another could give the user a better experience in the home. Products that where looked into for coupling where for example an air purifier with a robotic vacuum-cleaner, maybe also coupled with any other

Global climate change is probably the biggest challenge of our century, and even though research has attempted to uncover the social forces driving the emission of carbon, there is a lack of consensus among scholars. Some empirical research states that carbon emissions are lower in countries where women have higher political status. Others suggest that it is higher income inequality that explains

Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a commonly used industrial organism which cannot consume xylose naturally. This is a problem since xylose is a major component in renewable resources, for instance lignocellulose. The Weimberg pathway is a pathway that converts xylose into α-ketoglutarate. It has been successfully integrated into S. cerevisiae, enabling it to utilize xylose. The successful strain had th
