Syftet med föreliggande studie är att inventera och analysera olika metoder för sortering av grovavfall, för att kartlägga vad som fungerar väl och varför, samt att komma med förslag på nya lösningar. Detta görs genom en inledande litteraturstudie, som sedan kompletteras med en intervjustudie, där flera avfallsaktörer intervjuas om olika insamlingsmetoder för grovavfall. I studien konstateras det The aim of the present study is to inventory and analyse different methods for sorting bulky waste, to identify what works well and why, and to propose new solutions. This is done through an initial literature study, which is then complemented by an interview study, where several waste actors are interviewed about different collection methods for bulky waste. The study concludes that the definitio

Appropriate evaluation and experimental design are fundamental for empirical sciences, particularly in data-driven fields. Due to the successes in computational modeling of languages, for instance, research outcomes are having an increasingly immediate impact on end users. As the gap in adoption by end users decreases, the need increases to ensure that tools and models developed by the research co

Problemformulering: Internationalisering, högre volatilitet på efterfrågan och snabbare försörjningskedjor är faktorer som gör den globala kedjan mer komplex. Därför strävar organisationer efter en bättre bild av deras försörjningskedja realtidsprestanda. Därför behövs en lösning som möjliggör en bättre förståelse av komplexiteten och gör kedjan mer effektiv. Värt att nämna är att bättre synlighetProblem Definition: Internationalisation, higher demand volatility, and faster Supply Chain (SC) speed are factors that are making the global SC more complex. Therefore, organisations strive for a better picture of their SC real-time performance. Hence, a need for a solution that allows a better understanding of the complexity and makes the chain more efficient is required. It is worth mentioning

In laser spectroscopy, high photon flux can perturb the sample away from thermal equilibrium, altering its spectroscopic properties. Here, we describe an optical beam scanning apparatus that minimizes repetitive sample excitation while providing shot-to-shot sample exchange for samples such as cryostats, films, and air-tight cuvettes. In this apparatus, the beam crossing point is moved within the

Denna uppsats har syftet att undersöka arabiska kvinnors erfarenheter och upplevelser av integrationen I Sverige. Detta uppnås genom en kvalitativ metod och semistrukturerade intervjuer med fyra arabisktalande kvinnor och sker med hjälp av följande frågor: Hur ser arabisktalande kvinnor på innebörden av integration? Hur ser arabisktalande kvinnor på resurserna till att lära sig språket och integre

Ett av de senaste årens mest uppmärksammade fenomen inom högre utbildning handlar om olika former av gränshållande kring potentiellt upprörande undervisningsinnehåll. Dessa konflikter har lett till intensiv mediabevakning och politisk mobilisering. Men bortom de mest uppmärksammade konflikterna finns återkommande och vardagliga situationer där frågor om exempelvis bild- och språkbruk utmanar stude

Wetland area in agricultural landscapes has been heavily reduced to gain land for crop production, but in recent years there is increased societal recognition of the negative consequences from wetland loss on nutrient retention, biodiversity and a range of other benefits to humans. The current trend is therefore to re-establish wetlands, often with an aim to achieve the simultaneous delivery of mu

The thesis reviews research about economic impact of education and overeducation, and also researches about education, inequality and suicide in Japan. The thesis describes Thurow’s job competition model, Spence’s job market signaling model and Tsang and Levin’s production model. By using descriptive quantitative methods, it shows that Japan has overeducation problem brought by mismatch between ed

Optically pure lactic acid (LA) is important for the development of specialized applications for poly-lactic acid (PLA). To pursue sustainable production, feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass need to be investigated. The present study focused on the production of L-LA from softwood hydrolysate with Pediococcus acidilactici TY112. One of the challenges when using this substrate is the presenc

Context: Outcomes in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are reported inconsistently, with variability in definitions and measurement. Hence, it is difficult to compare intervention effectiveness and synthesise outcomes for systematic reviews and to create clinical practice guidelines. This uncertainty in the evidence makes it difficult to guide patient-clinician decision-making. One solution is a core out

Reglerna som styr civila aspekter på olovligt bortförande av barn enligt 1980 års Haagkonvention om de civila aspekterna på internationella bortföranden av barn är inte fullt kompatibla med de rättigheter som följer av Förenta nationernas konvention om barnets rättigheter . Trots barnets centrala roll i ett olovligt bortförande eller kvarhållande uppstår ett dilemma när 1980 års Haagkonvention skaThe rules governing civil aspects of the unlawful abduction of children under the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction are not fully compatible with the rights deriving from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. Despite the child's central role in an unlawful abduc-tion or detention, a dilemma arises when the 1980 Hague Convention is t

Mixtures of sulfobetaine based lipids with phosphocholine phospholipids are of interest in order to study the interactions between zwitterionic surfactants and the phospholipids present in cell membranes. In this study we have investigated the structure of mixed monolayers of sulfobetaines and phosphocholine phospholipids. The sulfobetaine used has a single 18-carbon tail, and is referred to as SB

In this work we present a novel, low temperature and green method for atom-efficient solvothermal synthesis of crystalline, micelle templated cerium IV oxide (ceria) from a type IV deep eutectic solvent (DES) comprising a hydrated cerium containing metal salt, cerium(iii) nitrate hexahydrate (Ce(NO3)3·6H2O), and a hydrogen bond donor, urea, in a molar ratio of 1 : 3.5. Self-assembled nanostructure

Hibernating brown bears (Ursus arctos) and black bears (Ursus americanus) spend half of the year in a physically inactive state inside their winter dens without food intake and defecating and no or little urination. Under similar extreme conditions, humans would suffer from loss of lean body mass, heart failure, thrombosis, azotemia, osteoporosis, and more. However, bears exit the den in the sprin

The production of sub-10 µm cellulose microbeads via membrane emulsification using isoporous membranes is reported here for the first time. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) membranes, with defined interpore distances, pore diameters and straight-through pores were fabricated via photolithography. A dispersed phase of 8 wt% cellulose solution was extruded through the membrane pores, forming, due to she
