This thesis investigates how waste management in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, as a long-term complex socio-technical change process, fits in the multi-level perspective designed by Geels (2002). Due to shrinking quantities of waste that is generated in the Netherlands, the combined heat and power plants are experiencing production overcapacity. Therefore, its importing waste from the
De senaste decennierna har allt fler aktörer pekat på att utveckling och rättigheter är starkt sammankopplade och därmed börjat anamma olika former av en Right Based Approach(RBA) till utveckling. Brist på utveckling kan ha sin grund i diskriminering. En grupp som halkat efter och som är strukturellt underordnad är kvinnor. En världsdel med hög andel fattiga är Afrika. Där finns det också en femin
Följande rapport behandlar Östgötateatern i Linköping och skrivs som en del av kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering vid Brandtekniska avdelningen, Lunds tekniska högskola. Syftet med rapporten är att utvärdera personsäkerheten i byggnaden vid händelse av brand. Information om objektet fås genom ett platsbesök, varefter ett antal möjliga brandscenarion identifieras. Genom att utföra en grovanalys på d
Mitochondrial damage and dysfunction are associated with the aging process, and can be attributed to mutations in both nuclear and mitochondrial genes involved in cellular respiration. Mitochondrial DNA is particularly prone to damage due to its proximity to reactive oxygen species in the mitochondrial matrix. With the current advances in gene therapy studies for both inherited and acquired diseas
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is part of the well-known IoT concept where a large number of devices need to be interconnected in order to collect and exchange data. Companies’ aim is not only to minimize cost during product design, operation and maintenance but also to enable remote monitoring on the efficiency of the devices-assets through the utilization of cloud services. Low Power Wide
Albania is an eastern European and post-socialist country which has shown interesting patterns in terms of economic growth and innovative activity. At the beginning of the 90s, the country shifted from a centrally controlled and isolated economy to an open market economy. The GDP growth in Albania, prior to the 2008 financial crisis was one of the highest in Europe at 6 percent and during the past
In this thesis some results for a model that is a merge between the random coefficient autoregressive model of order one and a stochastic process with local interaction in time and space are presented. The first part of the thesis deals with some result from the random coefficient model. The second part of this thesis deals with the random coefficient model with local interaction. Results such as
The Bolivian Program to Support Employment provides subsidized training to the unemployed and helps comparatively untrained and inexperienced people improve their employability. Albeit this programme was discontinued in 2017, a second version is currently being implemented to continue its work. This impact evaluation assesses the impact of the PSE on employment, labor income and the quality of emp
I detta arbete undersöks hur musiklärare på gymnasiet ser på bedömningsuppdraget kopplat till de anvisningar som ges i läroplanen. Syftet är att ta reda på hur musiklärare upplever tydlighet i dessa anvisningar. Det syftar också till att jämföra tolkningar av kunskapskraven, samt öppna upp till diskussion om vad som är viktigt för att ha ett bedömningsarbete som håller en hög kvalitet. Metoden somThis study examines how music teachers in upper secondary school view the assessment assignment in aspect to the instructions given in the curriculum. The purpose is to find out how music teachers experience clarity in these instructions. It also aims to compare interpretations of knowledge requirements, and open up for discussion about what is important for high quality assessment work. The metho
Since December 2015, the European Commission (EC) has defended the juridical autonomy in Poland by initiating the so called ‘Rule of Law Framework’ against the member state. Although the EC possess legal grounds for taking such actions against Poland, the supranational authority of the Commission is questioned in terms of legitimacy towards national governments. The aim of this thesis is to analy
Recent developments in opto-optical modulation technique calls for improved temporal control of light modulation processes of coherent XUV light. This thesis project evaluates an experimental method aimed at achieving redirection and amplitude modulation of XUV-light, by using precise determination of decay times in states of noble gases that are deemed suitable for opto-optical control. It is pos
Living in the Anthropocene epoch, climate change is a fact and the rising temperatures due to increasing greenhouse gases are only one of the many consequences. The carbon dioxide levels and greenhouse gases are of international concern, but something must be done on a local scale for it to be improved globally. Green areas and ecological corridors are now a modern and fashionable way of doing thi
Increased popularity of additive manufacturing has pushed the method into new areas where it has not been used before, such as construction. Buildings are being 3D printed by various companies around the world, but the application of additive manufacturing in construction is still in its early stages. In order to conduct research in this field, the Department of Design Sciences at Lund University
Using Jacques Lacan’s theories of subjectivity, this dissertation analyses the relationships between the ideal selves and the romantic desires of characters in Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, Alasdair Gray’s Poor Things and Junot Díaz’s The Brief Wondous Life of Oscar Wao. Lacan argues that there is an inherent lack in all human beings, stemming from incompleteness and early helplessness, and emp
Följande rapport har gjorts i utbildningssyfte i kursen Brandteknisk Riskvärdering på brandingenjörsprogrammet på Lunds Tekniska högskola. Rapporten är en brandteknisk riskvärdering med personsäkerhet i fokus över objektet Galleria Gränden i Linköping som är en välbesökt galleria i centrala Linköping med upp till tusentals besökare varje dag. Objektet har ett omfattande befintligt brandskydd. I st
International agricultural trade has seen big developments throughout time, initially driven particularly by the industrial revolution and then influenced by globalization and changes in technology. Coupled with decreasing barriers to trade, the rise of trade agreements, and economic growth of countries, international influences are having big effects on food consumption patterns. In particular, w
Att byta ut fullt funktionella klädesplagg och möbler eller renovera ett hem för nöjes skull är inget uppseendeväckande idag. Att konsumera är normen. En stor del av de miljöproblem som finns beror dock på den utarmning av naturresurser som sker för att tillgodose samhället med detta flödet av varor. Dessutom leder konsumtionen till att stora mängder avfall genereras. En del av lösningen till dess
