The report contains an environmental investigation of the automotive and transportat-ion program on Svalöfs gymnasium and an analysis of the environmental communicat-ion between management, teachers and students. The environmental investigation has been based on the methodology of ISO 14001. The various environment aspects on the automotive and transport program has been identi-fied and then eval
The field of international security has changed significantly during the last decades. New security issues has risen on the agenda, and the concept of human security has diverted the attention of security studies from an exclusively state-centric focus towards a broader comprehension of who should be protected, and from what. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate an aspect of such a novel s
This fouth semester thesis examines the films and film activities of Civilförsvarsstyrelsen, a Swedish state-controlled Civil Defense authority under the Ministry of Interior. Studies concerning film activities of the Swedish state are highly rare about the years following 1945 until the television breakthrough in 1956. This study concerns 1949-1952, a period characterized by an increase in welfar
Religionsfrihet är en grundläggande mänsklig rättighet. Artikel 9 i Europakonventionen reglerar religionsfriheten och dess begränsningar. Konventionen är inkorporerad i svensk lagstiftning och ska således tillämpas i Sverige. Med anledning av det så kallade handskakningsmålet ställs religionsfriheten i förhållande till arbetet mot ett könsjämlikt arbetsliv. Frågan väcks och diskuteras huruvida relFreedom of religion is a fundamental human right. Article 9 of the European Convention regulates religious freedom and its limits. The Convention is incorporated in Swedish law and has to be applied in Sweden. On account of the so-called handshake-case, the freedom of religion is put in relation to work towards a gender-balanced working life. The question is raised and discussed whether freedom of
The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of the Brexit-referendum on export trade between the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth countries. The UK has long historical ties with the Commonwealth countries, in addition to its departure from the EU, it is interesting to investigate the British trade policy after Brexit. By constructing a synthetic United Kingdom from the remaining countrie
Sustainability communication within the fashion industry remains constrained despite a growing focus on sustainability initiatives by brands. This master’s thesis investigates this constraint, often referred to as ‘green blushing’. Using qualitative research methods, this study examines the phenomenon through a case study of the Swedish fashion brand Kappahl. The findings reveal various factors co
Under de senaste åren har den ökande oro för de miljöförödande konsekvenserna av konvent-ionell plast lett till ett ökat intresse för biobaserade och biologiskt nedbrytningsbara plaster. Som förnybara råvaror för dessa plaster har jordbruksbiprodukter framlagts som en lovande källa. Denna studie undersöker olika jordbruksbiprodukter som potentiella råmaterial för biologiskt nedbrytbar plats. DettaIn recent years, concerns about the damaging environmental effects of conventional plastics have surged, by which biobased and biodegradable plastics have been promoted as a favour-able alternative. Agricultural side streams have been proposed as a potential feedstock for extracting components for new compostable polymers. The present study investigates agri-cultural side streams for raw material
Plankorsningar, där väg och järnväg möts i en punkt, utgör en riskfylld del av transportsystemet. Olyckorna vid plankorsningar har lett till allvarliga konsekvenser i Sverige. Där Sveriges långsiktiga mål (Nollvisionen) syftar på att ingen ska dö eller skadas allvarligt i trafiken, vilket omfattar att öka säkerheten vid plankorsningar för att. Syftet med examensarbete har varit att undersöka säkerLevel crossings, where road and railway intersect at the same point, represent a high-risk part of the transport system. Accidents at level crossings have led to serious consequences in Sweden. Sweden's long-term goal (the Vision Zero) aims for no one to be killed or seriously injured in traffic, which includes increasing safety at level crossings. The purpose of this thesis has been to examin
In this study of human carotid endarterectomy plaques (using 1128 regions of interest in a total of 10 plaques), we found that photon counting computed tomography (PCCT) can differentiate between attenuation and the spectral patterns of calcium, intra-plaque haemorrhage, thrombus, fibrosis, necrosis and lipid core. This is the first study to show the potential of PCCT in living patients using clin
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), targeting checkpoint receptors such as programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we show that PD-1 + T cells from murine atherosclerotic aortas mainly display a progenitor exhausted phenotype (PD-1 intSlamf6 +Tim3 -), produce IFNγ in vivo, exh
Knowledge about food structures at different length scales is key for the continued development of sustainable, tasty and healthy foods. It is critical to control, model and predict the supramolecular architecture of foods along the whole value chain: from raw materials, to their changes during processing, all the way to how products form structures during consumption and digestion. Today, advance
This report studies how community stakeholders describe their ability to handle accidents and crises. The aim of the report has been to study what has been written on the subject scientifically and in Swedish legislation. There are primarily two areas where ability is described; the field of protection against accidents and the emergency management field. A major part of the report is a content an
