Background: Biodiesel is the main liquid biofuel in the EU and is currently mainly produced from vegetable oils. Alternative feedstocks are lignocellulosic materials, which provide several benefits compared with many existing feedstocks. This study examined a technical process and its mass and energy balances to gain a systems perspective of combined biodiesel (FAME) and biogas production from str

Can law still play a central role in governing human behavior even if the state law may have become less important? Whether law without the state is possible depends, of course, on how we define “law” and “state”. But it also depends on the perspective from which one approaches the legal material. From a sociology of law perspective, as will be presented in this chapter, the topic has a slightly d

AbstractOut-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a devastating manifestation of coronary artery disease. For patients who are initially resuscitated and are admitted to an intensive care unit, mortality is high. Roughly half of all patients die, primarily due to neurological injury. In recent years, some improvement in outcomes has been seen, perhaps in some part due to interventions performed in hospita

In almost all countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, power sectors are characterized by a high degree of vertical integration and state control. However, several countries have undertaken reforms in order to open up the power market for private sector involvement particularly in relation to renewable energy (RE) sourced electricity generation. The majority of the MENA countri

Many of the established Swedish crime writers write for both adults and young readers. These authors are successful in the two literary market segments that are dominating the contemporary Swedish book market: crime literature and children’s literature. Can certain developed trademarks in their authorship for adults be used in order to market books for other age groups and to what extent do the au

As a by-product of a meeting between my university’s vice-chancellor and the manager of the largest bank in the small southern town of Ystad in 2006, I, almost accidentally, soon after came to commence teaching and researching media production, production studies, media industries studies or film and media industry studies, as the subject finally came to be called at Lund. The teaching part involv

The article presents an analysis of boundary work within the context of care for the elderly, where violence appears to be widespread though still relatively unacknowledged. By resorting to certain descriptive – often jocular – modes, the staff designate aggressive acts committed by patients as 'non-violent'. This occurs although intent, responsibility, and injury – all common criteria associated

The aim of this thesis is to give a detailed account of migrant entrepreneurs in Malmö, their daily patterns, their unique experiences, the distinct strategies they develop, the challenges they face, and their relationship with ‘regulation and ‘advice’ organizations. In addition, unique ways of ‘making’ a restaurant via food and other material items are discussed and illustrated. It is also underl

This thesis aims to investigate the newly emerging phenomenon in the environmental justice sphere – namely, the weaponisation of art by climate activists for the purpose of attracting attention to specific demands held. These attacks materialise in the form of organised acts wherein tactics entailing vandalism are enacted by a climate activist group. With the commencement of this climate movement

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

Arbetet är en examensuppsats på termin sex vid Ekonomiska Högskolan Lund, systemvetenskapligt kandidatprogram. Arbetet skall skänka ett mindre kunskapsbidrag inom Informatik och behandla kritiska framgångsfaktorer för ERP-implementationer. Vi har utgått ifrån en förundersökning på rådande empiri inom ämnet för att avgränsa oss till ett urval nyckelfaktorer, som sedan undersökts med datainsamling i

Understanding the microclimate in a given site influences the preconditions of sustainable development in many ways. Cold and strong winds in the winter will, for example, intensify the energy use in buildings depending on the air tightness of the building enclosure (Bagge et al., 2011), and in areas close to the seafront strong salty winds may also increase the wear and tear on building materials
