It can no longer be refuted that greywater reuse is paramount to curbing the persistent global water crisis. Of the domestic wastewaters, greywater is less polluted than blackwater, but treatment is still necessary to make it safe for reuse. The most common greywater reuse application is toilet flushing. However, the use of vacuum toilets in the Oceanhamnen project, covered in this thesis, means t
During migration birds are exposed to several challenges, one of these are the potential threat of getting oxidative stressed. Oxidative stress can be defined as when free radicals are produced in a vastly amount so antioxidants cannot detoxify them. This is the case at higher metabolic rate such as migratory flight, and probably during hyperphagia at stop-over. The aim of this paper was to invest
Antibiotika är en av de viktigaste upptäckterna under 1900-talet. Med antibiotika blev det möjligt att bekämpa och förhindra bakteriella infektioner. Ett växande och svårlöst problem är antibiotikaresistans. Detta projekt syftar till att hitta alternativ till klassisk antibiotika. Vi har arbetat med sialinsyra, en kolhydrat som återfinns på cellytan. De flesta bakterier tillverkar inte själva siaThe development and the use of anibiotics since the second half of XX century really affected the approach on treatment and prevention of infectious diseases. Despite a lot of resources and energies has been invested on the research, antibiotics resistance is a growing phenomenon in the last years. Today this problem has become a real public health priority worldwide, not only for the important cl
Att dika skogar till förmån för bland annat bättre tillväxt kan påverka och förändra faktorer som marktemperatur och markfuktighet vilka är de viktigaste faktorerna för markrespirationen och flödet av koldioxid till atmosfären. Markrespirationen svarar för huvuddelen av koldioxidflödet till atmosfären från ett markbundet ekosystem. Koldioxid är en viktig växthusgas och små förändringar av flödet kDitching forests in favor of for example better tree growth can affect and change factors such as soil temperature and soil moisture. Those are the most important factors for soil respiration and the flow of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. The soil respiration accounts for the major flux of CO2 to the atmosphere from the terrestrial ecosystem. CO2 is an important greenhouse gas and small
Grönlands inlandsis utgör världens näst största färskvattensreservoar. Forskning har visat att Grönlands inlandsis förlorar mer och mer massa, vilket också bidrar till den stigande havsnivån, i kombination med andra faktorer. Avrinningen förväntas också öka i framtiden på grund av den globala uppvärmningen. Hur mycket massa som lämnar Grönlands inlandsis beror på den totala massbalansen. Den totalThe Greenland Ice sheet (GIS) is the second largest ice sheet on Earth and thus stores a large amount of Earths freshwater. Because of climate change and the Arctic amplification, GIS is experiencing changes and increased melt rates. The total mass budget determines the amount of sea level rise caused by input from freshwater from the GIS. Surface mass balance (SMB) plus the dynamic mass losses fr
Glacier advances in the Écrins massif (French Alps) during the Late Glacial and the Early Holocene are poorly constrained. Based on field observations, a high-resolution digital elevation model and an orthophoto, glacial landforms in the upper Drac Blanc catchment were mapped. Thanks to 42 new 10Be exposure ages, the timing of the stabilisation of selected moraines was constrained. The application
Denna rapport är skriven inom kursen ”VBRN70 - Brandteknisk riskvärdering” vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Rapporten omfattar en brand- och utrymningsanalys av Kungliga Dramatiska Teatern i Stockholm med fokus på personsäkerhet. Analysen inleddes med ett platsbesök för att få bättre kännedom om objektet. Utifrån observationer från platsbesöket och tillgänglig statistik identifierades därefter flerta
Today cities are the result of centuries of history and human development, accelerated during the past 100 years. Post-industrialization, modernism’s top-down city planning approach, and the prioritisation of motor vehicle design over humans resulted in more people moving to cities, more space needed to allocate new vehicles, expansion over rural areas, and exponential pollution growth. Thus, huma
Minskade koldioxidutsläpp från energisektorn är nödvändigt om Sverige ska kunna nå klimatmålet inga net- toutsläpp av växthusgaser senast 2045. Biobaserad kraftvärme som drivs på restprodukter från skogsindustrin har möjligheten att bidra till minskade utsläpp men bränslena måste vara miljömässigt hållbara. Detta arbete undersöker potentialen för ett ökat uttag av grot, grenar och toppar, från sveReducing carbon dioxide emissions from the energy sector is essential if Sweden is to achieve its climate target of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Bio-based combined heat and power (CHP), fueled by residual products from the forest industry, has the potential to contribute to reduced emissions but only with enough fuel that’s environmentally sustainable. This study investigates the pot
More than half of the world's population today lives in urban areas, and the relationship between the city and the sea has always played a central role. Studies show that access to waterfront environments in port cities historically been limited, but as urban development progresses, the coastline is gaining increasing significance in the urban context. This presents both opportunities and chal
MORC2 (Microorchidia CW type Zinc Finger protein 2) is a GHKL (gyrase, heat shock protein 90, histidine kinase, MutL) ATPase involved in chromatin remodeling and is highly conserved in eukaryotes. Mutations in the ATPase domain of MORC2 are known to cause neurodevelopmental disorders. MORC2 is recruited by the HUSH complex to target long, intronless transcription units such as LINE-1 retrotranspos
Background: Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) is a protein that belongs to the nuclear receptor family. It is regulating the expression of genes involved in cell cycle progression, proliferation, and apoptosis. Approximately 75% of breast cancers express ERα, making it an important target for treatment. Researchers have identified various isoforms of ERα, with the most well-characterized one being a 6
This thesis investigates how AI-generated music challenges traditional systems of cultural legitimacy, identity, and musical taste. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of cultural fields and symbolic capital, and supplemented by Simon Frith’s insights into authenticity and identity performance, the study examines how emerging technologies reconfigure creative authority within platform-driven environments
I uppsatsen du har framför dig undersöker jag målsägandens ansvar i förhål-lande till en tilltalads uppsåt eller oaktsamhet avseende målsägandens ofrivil-liga deltagande i en sexuell handling. Vi befinner oss alltså i de två första pa-ragraferna av brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel, 6:1 och 6:1 a BrB. Min undersök-ning kretsar dock inte framförallt kring gällande rätt utan kring hovrätternas tillämpninThis essay investigates whether the law or its practice can be said to impose on the plaintiff a responsibility in relation to the defendant’s intent or negli-gence regarding the plaintiff’s involuntary partaking in a sexual act with the defendant. We are hence located in the first two paragraphs of the sixth chap-ter in the Swedish criminal code, 6:1 and 6:1 a Brottsbalk (1962:700). My essay does
TRPA1, är en smärtreceptor på cellmembran vilken aktiveras av skadliga kemiska ämnen, som t.ex. allylisotiocyanater från senap, pepparrot och wasabi och därav kallas TRPA1 även för wasabi-receptorn. Smärta och klåda är tydliga symptom på högre aktivitet hos receptorn. Malariamyggan (Anopheles gambiae), använder denna receptor för att känna av skillnader i miljötemperaturer och receptorn spelar därAnimals monitor environmental ques by translating them into electrical signals through a depolarization of the electric potential over the cell membrane of nerve cells. A way to initiate the depolarization is through activation of receptors that are ion channels. These channels can facilitate the diffusion ions across membranes driven by the differences in concentration and electrical charge on ea
In this paper, the viability of integrating solar power with an already running wind power plant is examined. The study, conducted in cooperation with Eolus, takes place in Anneberg, Sweden, home to three wind turbines with a combined capacity of 10.8 MW. This study examines whether or not it would be profitable to integrate an additional intermittent power source to the wind power plant’s existin
