Grey peas are a forgotten grain seed in the Nordic countries as well as Sweden, which are quite unexplored for their potential uses in different food products. Before the cultivation of yellow peas and green peas took over, they used to be the dominating type of peas in Europe in medieval times. They are a rich source of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals such as B vitamins, folates, and Iron.

Management, due to its interdependence with many contingent factors of the world, is a concept in continuous evolution. One of the factors that drive this evolution is the workforce, which is also constantly changing. However, despite the importance of considering the expectations of the workforce towards management, more attention has to be paid to this factor in the discussion on management. The

There has been a substantial increase in demand for textile and clothing with huge implications for post-consumer textile waste management systems. The current ‘buy-and-throw-away’ culture has led to larger quantities of textile and clothing ending up in landfills and incineration than before. This has become an increasing problem in the world and the linear way of operating is no longer sustainab

This thesis calculates the bremsstrahlung correction beyond the soft-photon approximation for the decay ω → π0 l+ l- . The effect of the radiative corrections on the extraction of the transition form factor from data is investigated. Four different form-factor mod- els are used to compute corrections: vector-meson dominance, lowest-meson dominance, tree-level, and two-hadron saturation. The experi

Abstract William Gibson’s influential Cyberpunk novel Neuromancer (1984) raises many questions about the effects of rapid technological advancements. The novel presents a Baudrillardian hyperreal situation for the individual characters in the story. Their desires and goals are shaped and directed by the environment in which they live. This essay builds on the work of scholars who have approached G

A shift in the Swedish welfare state and diminishing resources has prompted new ways to address social and welfare provision issues. It is here that cross-sectoral social innovation collaborations have surfaced as an answer. Previous research shows that working with collaboration and social innovation has similar challenges and that there is a lack of studies about power and organisational issues

När en organisation väljer mellan att hyra eller äga lokaler finns det för- och nackdelar med båda alternativen. Väljer organisationen att gå en slags mellanväg genom att hyra lokaler via ett triple net upplägg står de inför utmaningar unika för den sortens upplägg. Denna rapport har som syfte att ta reda på hur företag kan dra fördel av triple net-avtal samt vilka förutsättningarna för detta äWhen organizations choose between leasing and owning facilities there are benefits and drawbacks associated with both alternatives. If an organisation proceeds with a middle ground solution by leasing using a triple net lease, they will instead face challenges unique for that lease type. The aim of this thesis is to find out how companies can take advantage of triple net leases and what the requ

Nationella End of Waste-kriterier – ett verktyg för ökad återvinning av bygg- och rivningsavfall För att skapa en hållbar utveckling är det viktigt att skapa giftfria cirkulära materialströmmar, där bygg- och rivningsavfall inte är något undantag. Nationella End of Waste-kriterier (EoW-kriterier) för specifika materialströmmar är ett verktyg som gör produkter utav avfall. Genom detta arbete visasThis study contributes with knowledge of effective strategies in the conversion towards a circular economy. Since construction and demolition waste (CDW) is one of the largest waste streams in the EU, there is a need to recycle the material. End of Waste criteria (EoW criteria), which specify when certain waste ceases to be waste, is a possible way of increasing the recycling rates. This study com

Women’s labour force participation has historically been impeded by their traditional role of taking care of children, a problem that has been reduced with the emergence of formal daycare. However, one problem that remains is that many children in Sweden still do not participate in preschool. Among these children, there is an overrepresentation of foreign-born children and children from low-income

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the fragility of the global food system and its existing inadequacies in achieving food security, providing jobs, and ensuring environmental sustainability on various regimes around the world. Through a qualitative thematic-textual analysis, this thesis uses a case study of New York City to identify themes of actor expectations, either explicit or implicit, on how to

This Master's thesis sheds light on influential actors in global regimes. Following the concept of Fuenfschilling & Binz (2018), it aims to answer the question of how global regime rationalities diffuse and where they develop. Based on global elite literature, a new conceptual perspective of studying diffusion of global regime rationalities is introduced. The framework focuses on interlock

Idag dimensioneras servisledningar i Malmö/Burlövs fjärrvärmenät baserat på en efterfrågad värmeeffekt från fastighetsägare eller byggföretag som E.ON (fjärrvärmeleverantören) i sin tur möter upp med en passande rördimension. Det finns tecken på att fastigheter inte når upp till den efterfrågade värmeeffekten och att servisledningarna därav är överdimensionerade. Med anledning av detta ämnar detta

Nationell betygsstatistik visar att elever vars föräldrar inte har en eftergymnasial utbildning tenderar att lämna grundskolan med lägre betyg än elever med akademiskt meriterade föräldrar. Prestationsskillnaderna är stora i alla skolans kärnämnen, men framför allt i svenskämnet (se SIRIS 2020). Därför är syftet med föreliggande studie att undersöka hur svenskämnets läs- och skriv undervisning kanTranslated title: Social background and study performance in the Swedish language subject – a qualitative study of reading and writing instruction for students from non-academic homes English abstract: National grade statistics show that students whose parents do not have a post-secondary education tend to leave compulsory school with lower grades than students with academically qualified parents
