Pappers- och pappersmassaindustrin har ökat markant under de senaste årtiondena. På grund av att samhället har blivit mer miljömedvetet har återvinning av papper blivit en allt viktigare del inom industrin. Återvunna pappersfiber är dock av lägre kvalité än nygjorda fibrer. Syftet med denna rapport är att analysera möjligheterna att använda ett enzym av typen lackas för att modifiera interaktionen

Varför slänger vi hela saker? I en tid där shopping på IKEA är ett stående helgnöje och soffkuddar byts ut med varje ny inredningssäsong växer sig trots allt ett intresse för en mer hållbar ekonomi och en miljövänligare livsstil större. Att skifta dagens resurskrävande och avfallsproducerande ekonomi till vad som brukar kallas en cirkulär ekonomi är en möjlig lösning för att möta den växande popIn a circular economy all materials and resources should be used for as long as possible, therefore waste management is a crucial part. This study aims to map the reasons behind how people chose to handle things they no longer want. By con- ducting interviews with 91 respondents at the two recycling centres in Lund; Gastelyckan and Gunnesbo, some general reasons were discovered. By interview- ing

This thesis closely examines Reborn-Art Festival, a new arts and culture festival inaugurated during the summer of 2017 in one of the regions hardest hit by the triple disaster that devastated the northeastern coastline of Japan in 2011. In the face of an unspeakable tragedy like the Great East Japan Earthquake art may not seem like a central concern, but this thesis focuses on that subject specif

Phytophthora infestans cause severe losses in potato cultivation. Currently one of the most effective ways to reduce the related loss is using fungicides. For these to have optimal effect they must be applied approximately 10 days before the first visual sign of late blight. As the appearance of late blight is hard to predict there is heavy overcompensation of fungicides nowadays. By better foreca

The purpose of the thesis relates to the Quality anomaly observed in the US equity market, where stocks with Quality characteristics tend to outperform and have higher risk adjusted returns. By dissecting the Quality anomaly, the thesis aims to analyze the drivers of the over performance of Quality and investigate the presence of a systematic Quality premium. From previous research, three areas ha

This bachelor thesis studies the syntactic structures in four textbooks in German as a foreign language used in the Swedish upper secondary school (the gymnasium). The aim of the study is to test whether the German syntax is presented in such a way that it becomes optimally processable for learners. Research on grammatical developmental stages has shown that learners of a language acquire grammati

Due to the public health threat that antibiotic resistance poses to humanity, there is increasing interest for understanding the mechanisms behind the development and transfer of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in different environments. Soil is one of the largest and most diverse microbial habitats on earth and represents a vast terrestrial reservoir of organisms with tolerance to antibiotics.

The world is in transition. Europe is a Europe of transition. And so is the city; an incomplete, ever-changing and complex construct. While life itself is built upon the concept of change, organic order and vitality, society is currently finding itself struggling not to fall behind time. The Industrial Revolution has led to greater productivity and larger economic turnovers. Developments picked

An engineering approach to the evaluation of the TCP as a narrowband bearer for short messages in the low latency train-trackside communication scenario is described in this report. The project was developed in cooperation with Bombardier Transportation Sweden AB as a part of the “ETCS over GPRS” venture. With the increase of the demands from the railway industry, the currently used circuit-switc

Finansiella tjänster är undantagna från mervärdesskatt och har varit det sedan långt tillbaka. I samband med skattereformen 1990 diskuterades huruvida den generella skatteplikten som gäller för omsättning av varor och tjänster skulle komma att innefatta även finansiella tjänster. Dessa diskussioner ledde emellertid inte till något mer konkret än ett förslag till en särskild skatt i den finansiellaFinancial services are exempt from VAT and have been that for a long time. When the 1990 Swedish-tax reform took place it was discussed whether the overall tax liability applicable to sales of goods and services would also include financial services. The discussions did not lead to anything more concrete than a proposal for a special tax in the financial sector. Technical difficulties, mainly rela

The shipping industry is of great importance within the European Union since approximately 90 per cent of the Unions external trade goes by sea. There have been several block exemptions that have enabled, and simplified for liner consortia to cooperate and on the 26th of April 2010 a new exemption will enter into force. This thesis focuses on this new exemption and its aim is to investigate under

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to gain knowledge and visualize significant issues that a future leadership of the Øresund Region should take into consideration in order to promote regional development. Context: In 2000 Copenhagen in Denmark and Malmö in Sweden got connected by the 18km long Øresund Bridge. The bridge’s explicit purpose was not only to physically connect Denmark and Sweden

Germany’s current energy grid was built to match energy production from major power plants (coal, gas, nuclear). Due to the 2011 decision to exit all nuclear power until 2022 and ambitious national CO 2 reduction targets, the need to modernise and extend the grid has received substantial attention. In the past, implementation of grid extension projects had shown to be slow and raise serious pu
