Concerns about the environmental effects of the ‘throwaway society’ are increasingly influencing policy-making and regulatory action in the EU. The Seventh Environment Action Programme, which aims to guide European environmental policy, sets out a long-term vision for the EU that requires a major shift in the way economic activities are conducted: In 2050, we live well, within the planet’s ecologi
Frostnedbrytning av betong kan få allvarliga konsekvenser för en konstruktions säkerhet, beständighet och funktionsduglighet eftersom betongens hållfasthet försämras. Frostskador uppstår vanligtvis i konstruktioner med hög fuktbelastning och som periodvis utsätts för frostangrepp. Olika typer av betongskador, vilka kan misstänkas vara frostrelaterade, har påträffats i svenska vattenkraftsanläggninFrost deterioration of concrete can result in severe consequences to the safety, durability and functionality of a structure since it impairs the strength of the concrete. Frost damage may occur to structures that are in contact with water and subjected to frost action. Different types of concrete damage, which are suspected to be frost related, have been observed in concrete structures in Swedish
Many public sector managers and professionals perceive performance measurement as an administrative burden with limited benefits. Numbers are collected for other people's purposes. At worst, poorly incentivized indicators force managers and professionals to take actions that go against the overall objectives of the organization. Professionals in sectors such as healthcare, education and social ser
Omkring 600 barn och tonåringar arbetar på Managuas stora soptipp, denbstörsta i Nicaragua. De samlar och sorterar avfall på den öppna tippen, sombtäcker ett 7 km2 stort område i stadens utkant vid stranden av Managuasjön. Sådant arbete, som förekommer i många stora städer i utvecklingsländer, ansesbvara ett av de mest riskfyllda typerna av barnarbete som finns. Ändå är kunskapen om sådant arbete About 600 children and teenagers work at Managua's landfill, the largest in Nicaragua. They collect and sort waste at the open dump, which covers an area of 7 km2 on the outskirts of the city on the shores of Lake Managua. Such work, which occurs in many large cities in developing countries, is considered to be one of the riskiest types of child labor that exists. Nevertheless, knowledge of such w
The plasma proteome can provide a deeper understanding of the pathophysiology of different diseases and is a key source for detection of new biomarkers. Proximity extension assay (PEA), developed by Olink Proteomics (Uppsala, Sweden), detects proteins by using pairs of antibodies that are linked to oligonucleotides; upon target binding, the probes anneal when in proximity and the oligonucleotides

Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes are one of the most popular codes used in nowadays’ communication due to their high coding efficiency at low decoding complexity. With these characteristics, LDPC codes are suitable for high-speed information transmission systems. The widely used decoding algorithm for LDPC codes is Belief Propagation (BP) decoding with which the performance of LDPC codes can
Det här examensarbetet har identifierat möjligheter och begränsningar för att främja en hållbar plaståtervinning i den skånska plastindustrin, på uppdrag av Region Skåne. Analysen har gjorts med hjälp av ramverket teknologiska innovationssystem (TIS), som syftar till att identifiera de systemsvagheter som kräver politiska åtgärder för att stärka TIS:ets prestanda. Aktörerna i den skånska plastindu
Nima is a distressed neighbourhood located north of central Accra, the capital city of Ghana in West Africa. Nima is an extremely dense community, where land is very scarce. Single floor, clay built compound houses occupy the entire neighbourhood. Spatial planning is lacking, infrastructure is limited and overcrowding proposes a severe problem. Nima, a neighbourhood which is a direct result of rap
In a time shaped by an increased level of globalization and transnationalism, our perception of the immediate ‘local’ and the more distant ‘global’ is becoming more and more challenged by the forging of transnational flows, bonds and networks evolving in a rapid pace across profound distances. The new social, political and economic opportunities deriving from such transnational connections have be

The food industry is constantly evolving and the market for healthy meal solutions on the go saves a lot of time for consumers. The challenge with using chickpeas as the main Ingredient is that you want to g
Within the first decade of this millennium several Western European countries have prohibited Muslim veils in public spaces. Excluding the culture of Muslims or more specifically Islamic beliefs in a multicultural society, in which the hardest hit are Muslim veiled women, has resulted in the discourse of the ‘rise and fall of multiculturalism’. Although Sweden has not prohibited hijab or any other
Om naturagäldenären i ett avtal delegerar vidare sin prestationsskyldighet enligt avtalet till en tredje part uppkommer en så kallad kontraktskedja. I praktiken är dessa vanligt förekommande, inte minst vid entreprenadavtal där en generalentreprenör kan anlita en mängd olika underentreprenörer för att uppfylla avtalsförpliktelsen mot beställaren. Om en sådan tredje part, det vill säga det bakre leWhen the debtor of a contract delegates his duty to perform under the contract to a third party, a chain of contracts is created. This type of chain of contracts often appears within construction agreements, when the contractor enters into an agreement with a sub-contractor in order to fulfil his obligations towards the employer. If this third party commits a wrongful act, which causes harm to the
Today aromatic ring flipping has become a classic example to highlight the highly dynamic character of proteins. These dynamics occur when the aromatic side chains in phenylalanine and tyrosine turn 180o around its Cβ–Cγ axis, also known as its χ2 dihedral. Discovered in the 1970s’ these ring flippings are a common internal probe used in NMR spectroscopy to understand the protein interior dynamics
Being stateless, roughly means being without a citizenship of any nation. This is the definition of being stateless in legal terms, called de jure statelessness. There is also statelessness that entails being without the efficient protection of one’s nation, called de facto statelessness. Two groups of stateless migrants that correspond to these definitions are Bidoons from Kuwait and Palestinians
Arbetsdomstolens dom AD 2017 nr 23 rörde en kristen barnmorska som hade villkorat en förfrågan om anställning vid tre kvinnokliniker med att hon inte kunde utföra aborter. Därvid gjorde hon gällande att samvetsfriheten skulle ses skild från religionsfriheten. Arbetsdomstolen besvarade denna fråga nekande. Målet föranledde en stor debatt rörande samvetsfrihetens betydelse i Sverige. FramställningenThe judgment of the Swedish Labour Court AD 2017 no 32 concerned a Christian midwife who wanted employment at three women’s clinics on the condition that she could not participate in abortion activities. In that regard, she claimed that the freedom of conscience should be distinguished from the freedom of religion under Article 9 in the European Convention on Human Rights. The Court denied her cla
