Leakage at the floor drain is the biggest cause of moisture damage in bathrooms today. Wooden joists are the most common type of joist structure in houses and because of wood being a moisture sensitive material, moisture damage at the floor drain can lead to big problems. The purpose of this paper was to find out the most common reasons to why moisture damages occur at floor drains installed in wo
Purpose of the study Selecting funds is a difficult task. Although relevant since everyone working in Sweden has to invest in funds within the Swedish pension system. In order to support the selection Style based analysis can be used. This is a tool developed by William F. Sharpe for analyzing equity funds’ historical asset allocations, with only returns as input. Our purpose is to test to which e
During the last two decades the global trading has had a striking increase. The combination of increased internal transactions together with more complex structures of ownership within international companies have complicated the possibility of authority control of transfer pricing. In 1995 the OECD, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, issued updated guidelines for use of trans
The process of European Integration and creation of the single market revealed many questions and boundaries on the development and improvement of the European Social Policy. Pension’s sustainability has become the priority issue especially during the EU enlargement processes. Different policy instruments and institutions available to governments of Member States in realization of social objective
If you can not be seen, you do not exist Media today is often full of proclaiming headlines stating teenagers’ shocking behavior on the Internet. Computers and the Internet have developed into a new arena for teenagers’ social interaction.

Banker har ett stort ansvar att motverka penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism. Trots det omfattande arbetet för att motverka penningtvätt, sker en stor andel ekonomiska brott där finansiella institut har en bidragande roll.

The aim of this project was to examine if it is feasible to develop and apply a reuse concept regarding clean in place (CIP) processes. The concept is based on different topics such as lim-itation, structure, future and reliability. Three CIP processes were chosen to represent the wide variety of cleaning processes available to the food and pharmaceutical industries, Single use Food, Recovery Food
Freshwater, obligate aerobic, Gram-negative bacterium Caulobacter crescentus strain CB2 is able to metabolise various types of carbon sources. In this degree project, growth characterization of C.crescentus was made on different substrates including glucose, xylose, and mannose using shake-flask cultivations and bioreactor experiments. Special emphasis was put on the xylose degradation pathway, th
The degree project described in this report also acts as a deliverable for a research project. The research project focuses on a new technique for the upgrading of biogas. This new technology uses a sterically hindered amine to absorb carbon dioxide from the biogas to raise its energy value. The amine used for this method is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol or AMP. When absorb-ing carbon dioxide with t
Denna uppsats undersöker fem centrala aktörer kring händelserna mellan statskupp och antagandet av en ny regeringsform i Sverige 1809. I traditionell historieskrivning, främst förespråkad av Fredrik Lagerroth, har dessa händelser beskrivits som en revolution. Syftet med denna uppsats relaterar till forskningsproblemet och motsatsförhållandet mellan Sveriges ”revolution” 1809 och andra revolutioner

To go through an amputation is often a very shocking event
Nowadays dairy powders are common products and their market share is increasing. Dairy powders are produced for various reasons, such as to reduce the transportation cost, handle seasonal variation in milk or to valorise the by-products of the production. However, powder production and consumption can entail several problems, such as inadequate solubility or the formation of lumps during wetting.
In the process of internationalization, Small and Medium enterprises (SME’s) will be confronted with various challenges when entering in developing markets, such as culture differences, localization issues and financial problems. The research is aimed at creating a market entry framework to capture the target population in emerging countries, particularly in the group of middle class, in order to
