During the fall of 2014 Kraftringen who is the company that owns the Örtofta Power plant made a decision to perform a group of tests on their plant to establish the performance of the turbine. The Örtofta power plant is a biomass-fuelled plant and is because of this classified as a zero-admission power plant. The goal of these test were to establish the performance of the turbine. The tests were
The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to demonstrate how the government agency constituted by the Royal Armoury, Skokloster Castle and The Hallwyl Museum (further on shortened as LSH) works with digitization of their collections. The aim is also to present which opportunities and problems this process may bring. A presentation of the digitization process in the “centralmuseerna” (museums that ar
This Master Thesis analyzes how beneficial parental involvement is for third level education of an individual. Effects derived from parental behavior are measured based on new data on a larger scale compared to previous research, and by exploiting so far unused involvement variables. For the measurement a logit regression is applied to European Value Study data, for a selection of thirteen countri
I denna uppsats redogör och analyserar vi för den nya generationens mer omfattande frihandelsavtal och dess handelsfrämjande åtgärder. Vi har med inspiration från de pågående förhandlingarna om det transatlantiska frihandels- och investeringsavtalet (TTIP) valt att studera vilka handelseffekter frihandelsavtal kan resultera i. I uppsatsen har vi valt att undersöka om det frihandelsavtal som slöts
This research shows the impact of credit rating change (thereafter CRC) announcements on the combined entities following mergers and acquisitions. In looking at the effect of CRC announcements on share prices, we measure the level of influence that a credit upgrade or downgrade has on the equity value of firms. Existing literature disputes the applicability of share price as a measure of value cre
China’s maritime development during 200 B.C. to 1600 A.D. is usually vastly overlooked compared to its counterpart: Europe. Traditionally, Europe’s maritime development has been associated as the frontier of maritime growth, which began around the sixteenth century and eventually evolved into modern economic growth. However, the thesis challenges that Europe was the frontier of maritime growth; ra
Träd i odlingslandskapet är livsviktiga för många djur och växter. I öppna landskap erbjuder träden skydd, skugga och solvärmda stammar till nytta för insekter, mossor, lavar, svampar, fåglar och fladdermöss. Gamla träd med håligheter har extra höga naturvärden. I samband med intensifiering av jordbruket har många träd försvunnit från odlingslandskapet i Sverige och i flera andra länder. Den sveTrees in agricultural landscapes are vital to many threatened animal and plant species. Intensified agricultural methods have led to a decreasing number of trees in agricultural landscapes in Sweden as well as in many other countries. The Swedish government has chosen to invest in environmental support for farmers who contribute to a better environment. Farmers have been able to apply for economic

Frågeställningen i detta arbete rör i vilket omfång det allmännas vård och omsorg av beslutsoförmögna individer kan sägas utföras med grund i lag eller om dessa ingrepp i huvudsak är olagliga. Utgångspunkten tas i regeringsformen 2 kap 6 § 1 (RF) var man, sammanfattningsvis, kan säga att ett ingrepp, i betydelsen ett påtvingat kroppsligt ingrepp, är grundlagsstridigt. För att ett kroppsligt ingrepDaily, doctors, and other health care personal throughout Sweden are, probably unknowingly, faced with, the legally difficult task of caring for mentally incompetent patients. This essay seeks out to analyze, to which legal extent, a provider of public healthcare has the actual legal right to provide medical care for mentally incompetent persons when theese persons are not protesting nor able to g
The underlying values people hold in relation to the environment is an important aspect to consider when natural areas are shared. These underlying values, so called value orientations, and differences in values directed towards a natural phenomenon can impact views on suitable management, lead to disagreements and even conflict. Understanding of the diverse aspects people value can therefore be i
En trend som pågått under de tio senaste åren är att företag går från större centraliserade modelldrivna BIS till mindre användardrivna system. När användare själv driver analysverktygen och skapar sina egna rapporter så är det, jämfört med toppstyrda system, mer fritt att skapa information på olika kriterier. Därför ligger det ett större ansvar att informationsinnehållet och strukturen i BIS håll
De ständigt ökande klimatförändringarna orsakade av människan har visat sig medföra enorma komplikationer för stora delar av världen. Insatser som syftar till att bekämpa de negativa klimatförändringarna som har uppstått till följd av växthusgasutsläpp utvecklas nu på allvar och de negativa effekterna kan bland annat dämpas genom en effektivare energianvändning. I det moderna samhället står byggnDue to the constantly increasing threat caused by climate change necessary measures against the current situation needs to be accomplished. This study shows that one potential approach to reach this goal is by a more effective way of energy consumption. In this study the energy use of students in the city of Lund in Sweden was assessed. The purpose of the study was to find out what sort of driving
China is generally regarded as a country that has successfully achieved rapid economic development and rapid urbanization over the last three decades. But, in the course of this process, spatial inequalities in the country and the rural-urban divide within the city increase. That has led to the consolidation of the country’s dual economic structure. In 2003, the Chinese government implemented the
This thesis explores the experiences of self-identified gay Syrian men in Lebanon, all of whom have either registered or have expressed a desire to register with the UNHCR. The empirical data, which was collected through semi-structured interviews with five men during the autumn of 2014 in Beirut, questions what it means to be simultaneously gay, Syrian, and a refugee in Lebanon in the current cli
After the ratification of the UN Convention, Sweden has undertaken to adapt national laws so that they conform to the Convention of the Rights of the Child, CRC. Despite the ratification, the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) allows young persons to be separated up to 24 hours by the staff at state institutions, even though it is contrary to the CRS’s 37th article. The ombudsman for children has rep
In an uncertain financial world, corporate risk management has become an important element of a firm’s overall business strategy. The ability to manage risk will help companies act more confidently on future business decisions. Their knowledge of the risks they are facing will give them various options on how to deal with potential problems. One of the most popular risk management programs that fi
Barkborrar är en grupp av insekter som lever av och i vedartade växter. Vissa av barkborrarna har förmågan att angripa levande träd, och därav kan de potentiellt orsaka storskaliga skogsskador. Dessa skogsskador kan ha en betydande ekologisk inverkan på skogars ekosystem samt betydande ekonomisk inverkan för skogsägare och samhällen som är beroende av skogsbruk. I den här studien användes fenologiBark beetles are a subfamily of insects living in and breeding on woody plants. Some of the bark beetle species have the ability to attack living trees, and thereby the potential to cause major forest damage. These forest damages can have a significant ecological and economic impact to forest ecosystems and foresters. In this study, phenology models were used to compare the responses to climate ch

Studien genomfördes för att undersöka hur den mekaniska hållfastheten i tabletter kunde förbättras för att därmed kunna undvika en av de vanligaste tablettdefekterna, så kallad lockning. Tre formuleringar togs fram vilka resulterade i tabletter utan tendenser till lockning. Utöver det visade det sig möjligt att, genom en kemometrisk metod, förutspå det intervall av presskraft som genererar mekanisCapping and/or lamination occur as a result of low mechanical strength in tablets. The mechanical strength can be enhanced with suitable formulation- and process parameters for the tablet powder in question. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate capping tendencies of mannitol based tablets. More specifically, the effect of varied particle size of mannitol, type and concentration of bind
PFOS (Perfluoroktansulfonat) har genom sina unika ytaktiva och beständiga egenskaper använts i en mängd olika tillämpningar och blivit ett av jordens mest spridda ämnen. Metallytbehandling, hydrauloljor till flygplan och impregnering av textilier hör till ämnets användningsområden, men mest uppmärksammat är nog tillsatsen till brandsläckningsskum där PFOS är den aktiva beståndsdelen. Upprepade släPFOS (Perfluorooctane sulfonate) has, through its unique surface active and non-reactive properties been used in a range of applications and has become one of the earth’s most wide spread substances. Metal plating, hydraulic fluids and textile repellants are among the chemical’s field of application, but most attention has probably been given the presence in fire-fighting foam, where PFOS constitu
