The dirt underneath your shoes might save your life In the soil the bacterium Streptomyces venezuelae can be found. It scavenges for nutrients just like filamentous fungi do, by building a large network of hyphae also known as mycelium. At the tips of the hyphae, S.venezuelae grow their cell wall in a polarized fashion. They grow their wall by using a protein complex called the polarisome, almos

Målet med den här rapporten var att undersöka möjligheten att vidare rena spillvattnet på Dows anläggning i Landskrona. Dow tillverkar vattenbaserade bindemedel från akryl monomerer. Spillvattnet innehåller metalliska joner, såpor, restmonomerer och restpolymerer. Idag så renas spillvattnet med ultrafiltrering (UF) där permeatet släpps iväg till det kommunala reningsverket för vidare rening. EfterThe aim of this report was to investigate the possibility of further cleaning of the wastewater at Dow in Landskrona. Dow produces water based adhesives from acrylic monomers. The wastewater contains different metal ions, surfactants, residual monomers and polymers. The wastewater at Dow is treated with ultrafiltration (UF) which produces a permeate that is sent to the municipal waste water treatm

Studien har som syfte att förstå de drivkrafter och hinder som finns för att bygga mer hållbart samt hur entreprenören kan använda drivkrafterna för att inspirera beställare till att välja mer klimatbesparande åtgärder. Genom att skapa en bredare kunskap och förståelse för hur entreprenörer på ett enklare sätt ska kunna implementera fler gröna åtgärder under upphandlingsprocessen till privata bestThe purpose of the study is to understand the existing incentives and obstacles for a more sustainable construction, as well as examine how the building contractors can use these incentives to influence the developers to choose more climate friendly solutions. By creating a broader knowledge and understanding for how the building contractors can implement more green solutions in the procurement ph

Entreprenadavtal karakteriseras av att arbetena de reglerar tenderar att vara omfattande, komplicerade och långvariga, vilket ställer krav på samverkan mellan entreprenadavtalets parter. När en av avtalsparterna inte utför sin huvudförpliktelse uppstår ett avtalsbrott, vilket kan innebära att vissa påföljder med anledning av avtalsbrottet aktualiseras. I särskilda fall kan den skadelidande parten Contracting contracts are characterized by the work they regulate tend to be extensive, complicated and long-lasting, which implies a demand on collaboration between the contracting parties. When one of the contracting parties does not fulfill their main obligation, a breach of contract arises, which may mean that some penalties arising from the breach of contract will be actualized. In special ca

The shift to an activity-based way of working entails a change in how we view our work and our workplace. Some years ago, not many people had heard of activity-based working, but today there are many organizations around the world that apply an activity-based approach. This report aims to describe and analyze leaders’ experiences of activity-based working in different organizations. For the method

Sedan år 1965 finns i svensk lag inte längre någon särbehandling vad gäller straffansvar för gärningspersoner som agerat vid eller lider av atypiska sinnestillstånd. Lagstiftningen är istället utformad på det sättet att en särbehandling sker vid påföljdsvalet där det föreligger en presumtion för annan påföljd än fängelse. Utgångspunkten är således att gärningspersonen trots sinnestillståndet ska hSince 1965, there is no longer any special treatment in Swedish law regarding criminal responsibility for perpetrators with an atypical mental state. The legislation is shaped in such a way that a special treatment takes place through the choice of sanction where there is a presumption against imprisonment. The starting point is thus that the perpetrator, despite the mental state, must be held cri

Large amounts of carbon in the terrestrial biosphere are stored in forest ecosystems and its soil. Once the forest ecosystem is disturbed the release of this carbon can drive positive feedback to global warming. Humans impact the forest ecosystem through clear-cutting for wood production and other commercial purposes. Clear-cutting is still a standard forestry management method, but its effect on

Following the development of new materials and the continuous technical progress made in the construction and energy industries, district heating as a concept finds itself on the brink of a generational shift. One of the pioneering projects leading the way is the creation of Brunnshög, an modern and sustainable district under construction in the north-eastern end of the city of Lund, Sweden. The a

Vacation or staycation? Seasonal migration is common practice among many different species, including many birds. Birds living in cold climates, such as Scandinavia, experience food shortage during the winter months. Thus, many chose to vacation abroad where the climate is warmer and food is plentiful. However, not all bids in a population make the move – some stay put. This is known as partial

An important component of air disc brakes for heavy-duty vehicles is an adjusting mechanism, abbreviated 'adjuster', that regulates the clearance between the brake pads and the brake disc. The clearance is important to control as it affects the brake capacity. Normally, adjusters operate to decrease the clearance to compensate for wear of the brake pads. Recently, Haldex Brake Products AB

Renewable energy is gaining increasing importance in the generation of power due to the finite existence of fossil fuels and concerns about climate change. As its demand grows financial interest from investors’ increases, thus it is important to find the most effective way of quantifying the risk of the renewable energy market. Furthermore as renewable energy can be viewed as an economic substitut

En kopparlödd värmeväxlare används i fjärrvärmeapplikationer. Ett samhälle under ständig utveckling har lett till en strävan att förbättra dessa produkter, men också till en strävan att minska kostnaden vid både tillverkning och utveckling av nya, effektivare produkter.

Today energy supply is moving towards more renewable, which brings challenges to the power grid. Intermittent power is difficult to predict and cannot be regulated in the same way as conventional power. If the grid is not dimensioned to handle the power peaks, the intermittent power can cause overload on the grid. Overload causes larger losses, can damage electrical components in the grid and/or a

Traffic engineers around the country often use pre-programmed path plans. However, there is often an uncertainty in how much margin there is in the path plan and if they are trustworthy. The goal of this report is to determine the margin in pre-programmed path plans, using the program AutoTurn, for trucks with a length of 10 meters. This report discusses drive and rest times how both the drive and

A big challenge faced by the digital communication world today is increasing the reliability of information which is being transmitted. During the transmission of information, there is a possibility that the information is corrupted or distorted. If this distortion is considerably high, it becomes dicult to decode and retrieve the original information. To help mitigate this eect, the information b
