Separating valuable minerals from waste rock is an important step in the production of metals. This is for copper ore done through a process called flotation. A flotation series consists of tank cells in series where the minerals are collected in a froth on top of the cells. The level control of the flotation cells is important in order to be able to collect the froth. The first four flotation cel

Environmental tax measures have the potential to be great tools for achieving sustainable development goals in the EU. The different dimensions of sustainability need to be balanced in order to achieve sustainable development goals. In the EU, tax law has been focussed too much on the economic dimension, and too little on the environmental dimension, which could lead to environmental sustainabilit

The purpose of this essay is to study the potential of a carpool as a sustainable mobility solution in rural areas, by studying the usage of the carpool pilot in Brösarp, Tomelilla municipality. The essay seeks to answer the following research questions: how is the carpool being used today? Which are the barriers for using the carpool? What can be done to motivate an increased use of the carpool?

This thesis investigates how urban experimentation is governed in the new development district in Sege park in Malmö. Together with with private developers and a local NGO the municipality test and experiment with solutions for how the sharing economy can contribute to reduce the future resident’s climate impact and living costs. By using the theoretical lens of governmentality this thesis focusse

Introduction: The novel external beam therapy technique using ultra-high dose rates known as FLASH has become known for its normal tissue sparing effect. Currently in Lund, veterinary clinical trials are carried out on canine patients using electrons with ultra- high dose rates. By implementing a treatment planning system for FLASH-irradiation, the dose distribution can be visualized and the gantr

This thesis investigates how impact assessment can contribute to organisational learning and whether there are ways to enhance it. To answer these questions, the research takes a form of a qualitative case study carried out in collaboration with the non-profit organisation Reach for Change which represents a single case. The research data is drawn from two primary sources of evidence: organisation

Despite the entrenched and acknowledged rational and emotional duality characterizing the organizational nature, much academic research tends to favor both the former aspect and quantitative approaches to study organizational emotionality. As the process of organizing is itself emotional, this lack of problematizations on emotional organizational constructs calls for more qualitative studies that

In a world where the problem of energy resources, pollution and all aspects related to these issues becomes more and more dominant, a greater commitment is needed in the search for solutions. The goal of this project is to make a contribution to the research and development of new materials to reduce the environmental impact in some fields. First of all, we tried to synthesize and prepare an isati

Due to social and environmental crises, the concept of sustainability has grown in importance in our society over the past years. Things are changing, even in the financial industry. From the perspective of investors, the general public, and enterprises, Corporate Social Responsibility and the creation of sustainable value are becoming more and more significant. One of the most cutting-edge tools

Revision är en viktig funktion i samhället och näringsliv för att försäkra den information som företag lämnar ifrån sig. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda vilka begränsningar som föreligger för en revisor i samband med hans eller hennes utövande av revisionsverksamhet. För att kunna redogöra för det har det varit av vikt att också fastställa vad som avses med revisionsverksamhet och vad revisAuditing is an important function in society and businesses. It is important in order to ensure that the information which companies provide to the public is a correct rendering of the company’s economic position. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the limitations that exist for an auditor in connection with his or her exercise of auditing. In order to be able to account for this, it ha

The observed and well-known discrepancy between concentrations of ice nucleating particles in the environment and the concentrations of ice particles in clouds show that there are additional ‘secondary’ processes enhancing the concentrations of ice particles. In present-day modelling of weather and climate, such processes are mostly overlooked and thus a cause for uncertainty. Recent modelling s

The perpetrator inference in the crime scene can be narrowed down in geography using ancestry informative markers (AIMs) to infer ancestry. The commercial kits including AIMs are in high demand in criminal investigations to infer the ancestral geographic origin from the individual’s genotype. However, more than 10,000 SNPs were used to carry out accurate inferences, causing extremely high costs. A

Additiv tillverkning (AM) är vanligtvis relaterat till snabb prototypframställning, även om det nu för tiden blir ett verkligt alternativ för mindre serieproduktioner. Expansionen av denna teknik är direkt relaterad till produktionskostnaderna, men med rätt verktyg i designfasen är det möjligt att även hjälpa utvecklarna av en produkt att välja vilket som är det bästa materialet eller AM-tekniken Additive manufacturing (AM) is commonly related to rapid prototyping, although nowadays it is becoming a real option for small-batch production. The expansion of this technique is directly related with the production costs. However, with the supporting tool in the conceptual phase of design it is possible to guide the product developers at selecting the most appropriate material and AM technology

Psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar har ökat de senaste åren. Skolsköterskan möter dagligen elever och har en betydelsefull roll i det hälsofrämjande arbetet med ungdomar. En välfungerande elevhälsa gynnar elever och bidrar till en lyckad skolgång och utveckling. Studiens syfte var att belysa skolsköterskors upplevelse av att arbeta främjande och förebyggande för att motverka psykisk ohälsa hos elever p

Bakgrund: Det är vanligt att barn upplever rädsla i samband med besök i hälso- och sjukvården och vid medicinska procedurer. Upp till 45% av barn i åldern 4–6 år känner svår ångest under vaccinering vilket belyser deras oro av nålar och vården. Erfarenheter i form av rädsla, smärta och oro i och vid sjukvårdsbesök kan ha långsiktiga konsekvenser för barnet och i vissa fall kan det leda till nålfob

In the recent years the world of electronics has faced the fact that Moore's law and Dennard scaling do not describe the progress of performance and integration of integrated circuits anymore. Alongside the costs of reducing the physical dimensions of the transistors another problem that is faced by the current technology is the limited power efficiency and memory bandwidth that results from a

The goal of this article is to propose, through the use of GIS software, an interdisciplinary method to suggest new touristic flows after the Covid-19 pandemic. Specifically, the aim is to identify those sites of cultural and landscape interest that are little known but with great artistic, cultural, historical and environmental value that could give new vigour to the tourism sector. In the first

The purpose of the Master Thesis is, on one hand, to develop a traction control system, integrating and implementing two controllers in the vehicle, each of them previously designed and tested separately, to test them together to evaluate their performance. On the other hand, to develop accurate and well-performing controllers, the data acquisition needs to be precise so parameters and devices nee
