Abstract Replacing fossil oil with renewable resources perhaps is the most urgent challenge that the human being now is facing. Bioenergy has been considered as one of the best alternatives to fossil oil. Diverse non-edible applications of plant oil have been explored in the chemical industry recent years. However, both quantity and quality need to be improved from different oil crops for diverse
The Archaean Yilgarn craton in Western Australia is a granite greenstone belt with abundant economically important mineral reserves, including several world-class gold deposits such as the giant Kalgoorlie deposit. Structural controls on gold deposition and the fact that most deposits were formed later in the craton’s tectonic history, has resulted in the general acceptance of a late-orogenic str
Increasing awareness and change in attitudes towards environment has given rise to the sustainable development and this development has stimulated environmental innovations globally in the last years. The recent studies show that in near future there will be more packaging solutions from renewable resources. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how a brand owner using renewable packaging m
This master thesis work consists of the development of new hardware and software for the control box of an azimuthal guidance system used by aircrafts during the approach to the runway. The thesis work was done at Safegate International AB as a project running along the usual development projects. When designing electronics to be used on an airfield there are a lot of regulations and standards t
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka samspelet mellan principen om jämbördig suveränitet stater emellan och möjligheterna för rättslig prövning och verkställighet av mänskliga rättigheter. I synnerhet undersöks rätten till hälsa, såsom den redogörs för i International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. Uppsatsen innehåller en sammanfattning av suveränitetsteorin och dess klassiThis thesis seeks to examine the interplay of the theory of equal sovereignty between states and justiciability of human rights, in particular the right to health, as enshrined in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR). The essay contains an overview of the theory of sovereignty, divided into its two main paradigms of thought, namely universalism and particula
Uppsatsen behandlar rättsfiguren culpa in contrahendo, vårdslöshet i samband med avtalsförhandlingar. Huvudregeln är att parterna förhandlar på egen risk vilket innebär att de inte kan räkna med att få sina förhandlingskostnader ersatta i det fall avtalsförhandlingarna strandar. Culpa in contrahendo utgör ett undantag till denna huvudregel. För att ersättning enligt culpa in contrahendo ska kunn
Total resection of glioblastoma multiform (GBM), the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor, continues to be a challenge. Achieving complete resection is limited by difficulty in intraoperative discrimination between normal and residual tumor cells. This project contributes to the development and evaluation of a fiber-optical based fluorescence/reflectance spectroscopy system as an intra
Ambiguity and controversy abounds the debate over the thousands of people trying to enter the European territory and their rights, especially in their procedural form. This paper explores the latest developments in the context of the European Court of Human Rights’ and the European Court of Justice’s expansive interpretation of the right to an effective remedy and the procedural guarantees afforde
Title: Comparison of certification criteria and simulation methods for assessment of daylight conditions - applied in a Swedish passive house Authors: Emma Boberg and Anna Savolainen, Civil Engineering specializing in Architecture at the Faculty of Engineering Lund University, LTH.

Kliniskt verksamma logopeder har uttalat ett stort behov av lämpliga test för bedömning av elevers aktiva ordförråd. De test som används för detta ändamål idag är inte optimala bland annat på grund av att de inte är konstruerade utifrån svenska förhållanden. Vi har som ett första steg till att tillgodose det aktuella behovet konstruerat ett material för bedömning av aktivt ordförråd. Vårt arbete g
Under de senaste årtionden har företagsformen aktiebolagsrätt varit en mycket populär form att bedriva näringsverksamhet på, detta såväl internationellt som nationellt. Det mest karakteristiska draget för aktiebolag är det begränsande ansvaret. Det begränsade ansvaret innebär att en aktieägare som huvudregel inte riskerar mer en det satsade kapitalet. Den privata förmögenhetsmassan är således skilIn recent decades, the form of limited company has been a very popular way to conduct business on, this both international and national. The most characteristic feature for the limted company is the limited liability. The limited liability means that shareholders as a rule do not risk more than the invested capital. The private furtune is thus seperated from the company's assets. The general r
Idiom är en typ av språkliga uttryck som vi ofta använder i vårt tal t ex "jag ska hålla tummarna". Vissa forskare menar att ju vanligare ett idiom är desto lättare har barn att förstå det. Andra forskare anser att graden av genomskinlighet i idiomet är avgörande för förståelsen. Vårt syfte var att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan förståelse av idiom hos 51 normalspråkiga barn
Social norms in society dictate desirable behaviour according to the social environment. To break the law is often considered to go against these norms and the legal system imposes measures which in certain cases lead to incarceration for the person who has committed a crime. To break social and legal norms can lead to exclusion and even stigmatization. This thesis aims to examine which consequenc
Rhinosinusitis is the fifth most common diagnosis for which antibiotics are prescribed- but it is often done in vain. Currently, the only way to fully determine whether or not such treatment is actually needed is an invasive procedure. In order to spare patients from the discomfort that it would involve, this essential step is often skipped and instead, antibiotics are prescribed regardless. Using
Wind power developments in cold and icing conditions pose new challenges to the wind power industry. Icing of wind turbines cause safety hazards, production losses and increased loads. This means that there is a need to develop a technique to quantify the icing climatology and corresponding eects on wind turbines to enable large scale wind power developments in the windy, sparesly populated areas
This research proposes that an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the concept of culture and culture change could be beneficial for Sustainable Development. It explores the transferability of the DIKT Learning Model and theory of Creative Populations, originally found in management literature, and applies them to a social change corporation in Medellin, Colombia. The corporation analyzed
Pellets are a form of biomass used in highly efficient heating systems. Thus, development of pellet markets could improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions of greenhouse gases, create employment opportunities, increase energy security, and improve air quality. The present research explores the development of the domestic pellet market in Bulgaria. The research’s objectives are to investigate bar
Exposure to vibrations from tools and machines used in construction work can induce damages to the human body. Oscillations around a fix point with a certain direction, frequency and magnitude describe the phenomenon vibrations. Their influence is generally expressed as acceleration [m/s2]. Furthermore, vibrations are separated in two categories; hand‐arm vibrations or whole body vibrations. Expos
