In order to secure a sustainable development it is important to switch our resource and energy production from finite sources to bio-based, renewable sources. Biomass is, although not the definitive solution to a sustainable society, a good stepping stone towards it. A lot of agricultural land in Sweden is unused and could be used for cultivation of energy forest. Salix is an energy wood that has
This study focuses on quantitative long-term effects of SupplementalInstruction (SI) in terms of graduation and dropout rates. One of the main aimsof SI is to introduce students to effective study strategies and techniques. If SIis introduced at an early stage for new students in higher education, it shouldtherefore be expected that this action will promote timely graduation. This hasalso been ind
Understanding the parameters of using speech code for visual material is critical to a range of theories concerning memory span development, and the relationship between language and thought. The present study attempted to reveal whether a group of children (N = 39, age 5–7) used verbal labelling of pictures in a memory task, by investigating dwell times on pictures of objects. It is the first stu
This project aims to propose an alternative memory architecture that allows space for a society to process and heal after having experienced collective trauma. The project site and setting is my mother’s home country Chile where the military coup in 1973 and the following dictatorship is still a source of grief and conflict. The point of departure for the project is the concept of architecture
The current conjecture towards Nordic fertility rates brings the focus on the state of advancement of the second demographic transition (SDT) in the region. Nordic countries’ SDT developments have been unique as they have not experienced the same low fertility as other countries. Yet, since 2010, Iceland lost nearly a quarter of its fertility and reached an all-time low total fertility rate (TFR)
Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka vad lärare inom musik- och kulturskolevärlden har för syn på improvisation samt vilka mål lärarna förväntar sig att deras elever uppnår genom att improvisera. Min metod till detta har bestått dels av en enkät som jag har skickat ut till musik- och kulturskolor runt om i Sverige dels två intervjuer som jag har haft med lärare inom olika instrument. Dessa lärThe purpose of this work is to investigate how teachers in the public music school community view improvisation and what goals the teachers expect their students to achieve through improvising. The methology of my essay partly consists of a questionnaire that I sent out to the various schools around Sweden and partly of two interviews that I have had with teachers in various instruments. These tea
In order to analyze how the concept of elder abuse was constructed within the narrative of a newspaper article series, Foucauldian Discourse Analysis (FDA) was applied to 175 newspaper articles following the Carema Care elder abuse case. The articles used for the study were published by DN.se, the online version of the Swedish morning newspaper Dagens Nyheter, between 2011-10-11 and 2012-10-11. Th
This master’s thesis analysed sustainable development policies in China’s 11th Five-Year Plan and sustainable development considerations at the building of the Bui Dam in Ghana. The theory section discusses and defines sustainable development, and in the method section, ‘ideal-types’ of economic, social and environmental development were developed. These ideal-types were then used as reference poi
The aim of this master thesis was to develop a rotation-based collimation system for large coaxial high-purity germanium detectors for use in intense radiation fields. A collimator was constructedformed as a cylinder surrounding the detector, with a 90° slit opening to the detector. The rotational asymmetry caused by the slit was used to trace the direction of the incident gamma rays as well as re
Construction engineers involved in building design at an early stage is something I think should prevent errors later during the construction process. In my study I wanted to examine a construction engineer's ability to act as both an architect and engineer in an architectural competition. I wanted to participate in an architectural competition which is contemporary and focus on energy efficie
This thesis is a fenomenological approach to percieved pros and cons of a mature ISO14001-certificate. I've also investigated if my interviewees have expeerienced an influence from their environmental management work to their personal environmental awareness. I also sought to see if these Environmental Management Officers thought that their having the certificate influences the general environ
The number of refugees across the world is increasing and consequently also the preassure at the external borders of the EU. The purpose of this essay is to evaluate the actual refugee policy of the European Union in relation to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which is ratified by all member states, as well as the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. Human rights organis

En upphandlande myndighet som inte följt bestämmelserna i lagen om offentlig upphandling ska ersätta därigenom uppkommen skada för en leverantör. Bestämmelsen, som baseras på ett EU-direktiv, är tämligen intetsägande och dess tillämpning är oklar. Principer för ersättningsnivåer har utarbetats genom praxis, men oklarheter rörande under vilka förutsättningar skadestånd ska utgå och huruvida de bakoA contracting authority that hasn’t complied with the provisions of the Law of public procurement shall compensate the damage hence incurred to a supplier. The provision, which is based on a EU directive, is rather bland and its application is unclear. Principles for compensation levels have been developed through practice, but doubts concerning the conditions under which damages shall be compensa
In today's fast-paced business environment, organizations need to adapt and improve their ways of working to keep up with competitors. This change is putting more pressure on Human Resources (HR) and their ability to implement transformation projects to become more efficient, automated, and data-driven. Organizations invest enormous amounts of resources to implement these HR transformation pro
Chemical communication using pheromones is crucial for the reproductive success of many insect species, including beetles(Coleoptera). Pheromones are detected by specialised odorant receptors (ORs), called pheromone receptors (PRs), in the sensoryneurons of the antennae. The PRs in Coleoptera remain understudied, with only a few receptors being functionally characterised.This limits our understand
