The formation of the suspected carcinogenic compound acrylamide has become a noticed problem in the heat processing of several types of carbohydrate rich food items. The European Union is currently working to mitigate these levels, where one strategy is to implement a new regulation with benchmark levels for acrylamide in different products. The regulation also includes recommendations on how to r
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of mobile financial services on the behavior of young adults on the financial market, particularly how mobile financial services effect the distribution of risk amongst consumers. The risk examined are twofold; how the risk of a financial transaction looks like for both the consumer of the financial instrument and the distributor (Avanza) and how
Den moderna globaliserade arbetsmarknaden kännetecknas av att anställningsförhållandena blivit tillfälliga och flexibla. Konsekvenserna av de nya anställningsförhållandena är ämnet för denna studie. Syftet med studien har varit att få en djupgående förståelse av unga kvinnors upplevelser som behovsanställda inom vård- och omsorg och anställningsformens effekt på deras upplevelser av arbets- och li
Tubular heating elements, produced by Backer AB are today commonly used, serving as systems for intelligent heating in automotive, medical and household industries. Tubular heating element consists of a mantle, resistance wire, electrical insulation (magnesium oxide) and a sealing. When active, an electric current transfers heat from the resistance wire of the heating element to the surroundings w
Another link in the immune cell chain Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in the western world. The main cause of CVD is atherosclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease of the major arteries. Atherosclerosis can be described as by a build up of plaque in medium to large arteries. Clinical complications, such as heart attack and stroke, occur when plaques rupture and form
The consumption of single use and disposable packaging has led to significant amounts of waste. A large share of food and beverage packaging products are multi-layered aseptic cardboard packages laminated with aluminium and principally with the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic material. This multilayer design makes them poorly recyclable and causes that aluminium and LDPE layers are often i
Abstrakt Introduktion: Psykisk ohälsa är ett växande problem i dagens samhälle. Personer som är drabbade hamnar inte sällan i social isolering, svårigheter att bibehålla arbete och/eller relationer med andra människor. Sedvanlig behandling består till största delen av medicinsk behandling, ECT och samtal. Drama kan vara en kompletterande metod att behandla individer som upplever svårigheter i att
Today, in a digital era where people can do their everyday tasks from home, the city as a social platform faces new challenges. Individuals no longer need to run errands around the city, which, until now, has been the standard way of city life. The comfort of today’s modern world impacts not only the private but also the public life of cities. The urban dynamics of city life are likely to be reduc
A fundamental component of episodic memories, allowing for their vividness and detail in recollection, is the visual context accompanying it. At times, it has been found that such memories may bind with one another. In such memory integration, the visual context accompanying the integrated events, may been found to be a key component. Yet, though the importance of context on episodic memories has
Det ökade användandet av träbaserade volymelement i flerfamiljshus kräver effektiva och detaljerade beräkningsmetoder. Numeriska modeller av volymelementen ger stora fördelar med avseende på analys av stabilitet mot vindlaster genom möjligheten att beakta hela den tredimensionella konstruktionens styvhet.The use of timber volume elements (TVEs) in residential multi-storey buildings is increasing in popularity. Manufacturing methods and building processes have been streamlined to improve product quality. However, further streamlining still remains concerning the efficiency of current calculation methods, as many developers still use simple hand calculations. The objective with this dissertation was
The present thesis is an investigation about the analysis and study of what is the best way to obtain greater savings of heat principally from the reuse of Drain Hot Water (DWH). The study is carried out through the hypothetical application of one of these heat reuse systems and the installation of renewable solar system to reduce the electricity consume in a single-family house of 300 m2 located
This paper investigates the relationship between financial performance and sustainable performance. More specifically, it investigates whether sustainable firms outperform less sustainable firms. The sustainable performance is based on companies received ESG score. The ESG rating system is based on three equally weighted pillars, environmental, social and governance. The study is based on stocks i
Normalisering av en byggnads energianvändning med avseende på verksamhetstypen (brukarnas energibruk) och klimat genomförs för att byggnadens energiprestanda ska vara jämförbar med andra byggnader samt för att verifiera att ställda energikrav uppfylls. Metoder för normalisering utarbetades som följd av införandet av Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2010/31/EU av den 19 maj 2010 om byggnaders
We present an experimental investigation of the dynamics of near-to-sphere colloidal ellipsoids in which we deploy a recently developed technique differential dynamic microscopy (DDM). Inherently opaque systems as well as progressively dense dispersions exhibit multiple scattering and as conventional techniques such as dynamic light scattering (DLS) suffer from this effect, studies probing their d
Att vårt klimat är i förändring och att valen vi gör måste förändras blir allt mer påtagligt. Våra transportsystem är i omställning mot mer förnybara drivmedel och ett val som många idag gör är att skaffa sig en elbil. Elbilarna behöver framförallt kunna laddas från elnätet vid förarens bostad, där bilen oftast står parkerad under natten. Olika typer av laddstationer uppförs därför i bostadsmiljöeThe development of the transportation system is transitioning to use renewable fuels and in Sweden, many people are now choosing to buy electric cars. Primarily, the electric cars need to charge from the electric grid, usually at the driver’s residence, where the car is parked during the night. Different types of charging stations are thereby built in residential areas. Problems usually do not occ
Understanding material behaviour has in the past enabled human development and will continue to characterize the various stages of our future development. The use of neutrons will greatly affect several research areas, such as sustainable energy production and cancer research, due to their interaction with nuclei. Neutrons will thus interact differently depending on the specific isotope, reveal in
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur platstagande ter sig i en jazzensemble på en folkhögskola. Studien har främst ett genusperspektiv men tittar också på andra faktorer som påverkar platstagandet samt lärarens roll i fördelningen av plats. Deltagarna filmades vid två tillfällen: under en lektion samt vid en repetition utan läraren. Filmerna analyserades utifrån ett critical incidents techThe aim of this study is to investigate how the participants in a jazz ensemble at a folk high school [folkhögskola] claim space. The study has primarily a gender perspective but also looks at other factors that affect how the students claim space and also the teacher’s role in the distribution of space. The participants were filmed on two occasions: during a lesson and during a rehearsal without
Operators of complex systems (e.g. modern passenger Commercial Aircrafts) often take decisions in unique situations, which develop rapidly in everyday work. For most situations, they have detailed company policies and procedures at their disposal to help them deal with these events. But do these procedures and policies work exactly as written all the time? And does experience level and type of org
Detta projekt tittar närmre på området runt Östervärn och Entré och är ett förlag på hur området kan utvecklas i framtiden samtidigt som Malmö byggs ihop med Kirseberg. Entré ligger precis i utkanten av Värnhem vid Malmös nordöstra infart, precis i utkanten av vad vi kan kalla den centrala staden. Ett område som står inför drastisk förändring framöver. Det utgör typexempel på delar av staden som i
