Kan Skånes säkra det framtida behovet av näringsämnen till jordbruket? Skåne och dess bördiga marker står för en stor del av maten som produceras i Sverige. Med maten som regionen säljer följer även näringsämnen med. Dessa näringsämnen tillsätts till det skånska jordbruket men hamnar i slutändan i regionerna och städerna som konsumerar maten. Av den totala näringen i maten som hamnade i avfall, Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are essential for the survival of humans, animals, and plants. The production and usage of mineral fertilizer has contributed to an over-use of these resources, leakage, and emissions of nutrients. This study aims to simplify and simulate the food system of Scania through a conceptual model. The model maps nutrient flows of N, P and K within the internal foo

The aim of this thesis is to broaden the understanding of the Swedish “allemansrätten” as a cultural phenomenon and embodiment of Swedishness. The complications regarding the translation of concepts as well as problems in the general understanding of this public right will be brought to the reader’s attention. Neighbouring countries have been used for comparison as well as different perceptions of

The goal of this master thesis project was to investigate and develop a minced meat analogue through high moisture extrusion and shredding of soy protein and vegetable fat. Soy protein in the form of soy protein concentrate (SPC) and soy protein isolate (SPI), vegetable fat in the form of high oleic canola oil and a blend containing partially and fully hydrogenated canola oil was utilized in the s

Radar systems have been around since the early 20th century, and technology is advancing at an ever-increasing speed. This has led to great achievements in radar development, which have expanded the technology's area of use. One of these is the application of a security radar used in conjunction with security cameras for increased flexibility and reliability in security systems. A type of rada

The development of electrical circuit boards is increasing and the time spent in the development stage can be quite long. The thesis has tried to shorten the time spent developing new electrical circuit boards, by first finding a common denominator for efficiency losses in the development process and then implementing an example solution. The problem identified was the lack of attention towards pr

Neural oscillatory activity represented in the time-frequency (TF) domain is believed to reflect cognitive mechanisms underlying episodic memory encoding and retrieval. Research has shown that encoding and retrieval processes are likely modulated by emotional valence. This study investigates how successful associative memory encoding and retrieval of content varying in valence (positive, negative,

This thesis examines the historical narrative about the Visegrad Group expressed by its representatives in six texts from the period 1990–2021. This is based on the following three research questions: What narrative about the common history of the Visegrad Group’s and its member countries’ common history has been constructed by political representatives for the Visegrad countries 1990–2021? How

During the strict COVID-19 lockdowns imposed by many countries around the world, most of the vital economic activities were stopped, causing severe socio-economic disruptions worldwide. Likewise, South Africa went into a strict lockdown on the 27th of March, triggering massive loss of earnings and jobs for numerous workers. Despite the rapid government response to the difficult situation, many

E-commerce activities have been growing rapidly throughout the past decade, leading to a growth just as dominant in last mile logistics and urban freight transport as well. Different factors create these deliveries highly inefficient, expensive, and polluting. This led to the generation of major problems that became more dominant in urban areas. Such problems created in cities contributed to highe

Inledning: Positiva perorala kontrastmedel anses ofta vara nödvändiggt för den diagnostiska kvaliteten inom datortomografi av buk, trots prevalensen av biverkningar och artefakter. Röntgensjuksköterskan behöver därför anpassa undersökningen till patienten. Syftet: Att undersöka effekten av perorala kontrastmedel på diagnostisk kvalitet vid CT-bukundersökningar. Metod: Litteraturstudie valdes som m

Distribution patterns of resources and their role in determining species distribution are not only fundamental to the understanding of ecological patterns, but also of practical significance in conservation management. Shorebirds are experiencing precipitous declines globally, especially along the East Asian-Australasian Flyway (EAAF), where the major threats include the loss and degradation of ti

The refugee crisis that occurred in 2015 proved to be a historical failure for the Dublin Regulation, and it demonstrated both to policymakers and public opinion that the account of solidarity upheld was strongly outdated. If the European Union truly is a community based on shared values, then axiological changes should also result in institutional changes. Acknowledging that no radical transforma

Detta arbete ämnar att undersöka kvinnors brottslighet och hur kvinnan som brottsling skildras i två svenska tidningar. Analysmaterialet bestod sammanlagt av tio artiklar från Aftonbladet och Expressen. För att besvara arbetets syfte och frågeställningar har en kvalitativ innehållsanalys valts som metod. Genom att fokusera på ord och text i utvalda nyhetsartiklar ämnar studien att undersöka vilka

ABSTRACT Titel: Äldre universitetsstudenters sociala verklighet Författare: Carina Tolge-Blidh Sociologi kandidatkurs SOCK07 vårterminen 2021 Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten, Lunds universitet Handledare: Birgitta Ericson Allt fler äldre studenter söker sig till universitet och högskolor i Sverige. Hur upplever dessa äldre universitetsstudenter den sociala studiemiljön? På vilket sätt upplever äl

The thesis investigates the perceptions about the importance of sustainability issues in the Millennial generation and the connection of the results to sustainability accounting to show how useful it is. The focus is particularly on sustainability as a criterion for job decisions and the extent to which it influences the motivation at work. In addition, differences in perception about age, gender,

The genetic regulation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) plays a vital role in the development and function of the immune and circulatory systems. Genetic variants can lead to significant differences in HSPC-related phenotypes, and pathogenic variants can cause blood disorders and other maladies. Discovering these variants and understanding the mechanisms by which they affect an i

Vad ser du som de viktigaste värdena som kan naturen ge dig? Nu tänker du kanske, att naturen får oss att må bra och att den har ett egenvärde i sig. Men vad händer när dessa värden, som oftast inte är mätbara, ska konkurrera med andra värden? Stora delar av vår urbana miljö är överexploaterad, vi behöver platser att vila på, arbeta på och mycket mycket mer. De immateriella värden som naturen gerWith climate change being one of the largest worldwide challenges of our time, it is important to prevent the loss of natural ecosystems that can act to mitigate climate change. Moreover, ensuring that urban areas are designed for human needs in conjunction with climate change adaptation/mitigation for a sustainable environment is crucial. University campus environments serve as places for study b

Ashkenazic Jews (AJs) are a population with a complex migration history. AJs have resided in Central and Eastern Europe at least since the 10th century. The geographical origins and migration history of AJs is controversial. Two hypotheses were proposed to address these questions: the "Rhineland hypothesis" that proposes a Levantine origin for AJs, assumes that Eastern European AJs desce

Digitala produktpass som miljöpolitiskt styrmedel för en hållbar konsumtion Genom att enskilda varor på marknaden får unika digitala produktpass är tanken att det ska bli mycket enklare för konsumenter och andra marknadsaktörer att få tillgång till relevant produktinformation. Införande av digitala produktpass kommer sannolikt inte att vara en fullständig lösning, utan snarare ett komplement tillThe transition to a sustainable economy requires smarter management of product-related data over the entire product life cycle. Most of this information is currently not optimized to be easily accessible to businesses and consumers. Therefore, politicians have an important role to play in implementing various environmental policies and product related instruments, to reduce the environmental impac
