Yoghurt is a fermented product form the milk, well known in the world. The fermentation is carried out by Lactic acid bacteria (LAB). The most common are Streptococcus thermophilus and lactobacillus bulgaricus, these bacteria make the milk acid, generating a disturbance in the casein micelles making a solid mass called coagulum. This specific LAB also produces expopolysaccharides (EPS) that form t

I Sverige finns många förorenade områden med klorerade lösningsmedel och Färgaren 3 i Kris-tianstad är ett av dem. Där har tidigare legat en kemtvätt som använt sig av PCE (Tetrakloreten), där spill och läck-age har förorenat stora delar av fastigheten. PCE och dess metaboliter har en tendens att förorena stora volymer, vilket gör dessa ämnen svåra att sanera. Detta mastersarbete inriktar sig på aIn Sweden there are many contaminated sites with chlorinated solvents and Färgaren 3 in Kristianstad is one of them. Previously there has been a dry cleaner at the estate, where PCE (Tetrachloroethylene) was used. Through spills and leakages of PCE, the business has contaminated large parts of the property. PCE and its metabo-lites have a tendency to contaminate large volumes, making these substan

Young people with intellectual disabilities in Indonesia face difficulties living up to the financial and social independence criteria of social adulthood. Many will need care- and livelihood support throughout their adult lives. This case study aims to examine how formal and informal social protection for persons with intellectual disabilities is organized in a semi-urban city in Central Java. So

The aim of this Master's Thesis was to develop a standard for structural testing of implants to be used in transfemoral osseointegrated prostheses, since there is a lack of such standards for this type of implant. The methods used in this project include a literature study, a review of ISO standards, simulations of gait in a software called OpenSim, and a comparison of the OpenSim results with

Decarbonising agriculture is vital to meet the global climate change target of limiting warming to below 2°C above pre-industrial levels. However, the agricultural sector is not a current focus for greenhouse gas reduction. The wine industry is growing and contributes to agricultural emissions. It is therefore important to understand how wine producers can increase their use of low carbon practice

Social networking sites (SNS) play an important role in human’s daily life today. Individuals, employ different SNS where they mainly self-disclose and share personal information with other users. SNS have been characterized as a new communication landscape, with SNS users to be benefited in more ways when using them, such as with information and enjoyment. However, this online information sharing

Denna uppsats undersöker terrorattentats inverkan på den svenska finansiella marknaden. Effekterna studeras genom att granska avkastningen på Stockholmsbörsen i samband med ett terrorattentat. Studien begränsas till att undersöka de kortsiktiga effekterna av nio terrorattentat i OECD länder, där vi exkluderar terrorattentat som inträffat i Sverige. Med utgångspunkt i den effektiva marknadshypoteseThis paper examines the impact of terror attacks on the return of the Swedish financial markets. This is conducted by studying the Stockholm stock exchange. The study is confined to examine the short-term effect of nine terror attacks in OECD countries, where attacks in Sweden is excluded. By using the efficient market hypothesis this paper finds that the reaction on the Stockholm stock exchange d

I denna undersökning som är en kvalitativ studie har jag intervjuat undersköterskor, där syftet är att få en djupare förståelse för deras psykosociala arbetsmiljö. Jag vill även undersöka deras upplevelse av om enhetschefen har någon inverkan på hur deras psykosociala arbetsmiljö ser ut. Fyra personer arbetar inom äldrevården och har sin enhetschef i samma hus och tre arbetar inom psykiatrin med e

Examensarbetets syfte är att undersöka hur delar av ett byggföretags kvalitetsarbete är uppbyggt och anpassat efter verksamheten. Författarna har tagit del av fallföretagets interna undersökning som tyder på en nedåtgående användning av företagets ledningssystem. Författarnas mål är att identifiera brister för att sedan ge förslag på förbättrings-möjligheter. Examensarbetet har utförts i form av

Due to technological advances and innovations, the phenomenon of media multitasking and multiscreening, i.e. simultaneous or sequential use of multiple screens, has emerged and become a global trend affecting the consumer behavior. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate how different media and devices impact the Consumer Information Processing Model as the current research within t

Calvin, an Ericsson application framework for Internet of Things (IoT), simplifies the development and deployment of applications for IoT systems where many heterogeneous devices are deployed and connected through the Internet. The application engineer just needs to design and codify the application applying Calvin syntax. The Calvin environment is formed by runtimes and applications. The runtime

Online sexual activities (OSA) are any sexual behaviours done using the Internet and are divided into non-arousal, partnered-arousal, and solitary-arousal activities. The means of accessing the Internet have extended past the traditional home computer and the rapid evolution of personal digital devices has lead to a lag in the measurement of OSA. There is also little understanding of the underlyin

Background Many companies today spend more than half of their sales turnover on purchased parts and services. One dollar saved in purchasing costs contributes straight to the bottom line of the company in theory. Besides from accounting, sourcing and purchasing activities contribute to risk management and value improvement. (Van Weele, 2014) Still, many practical challenges of implementing balance

Få molekyler arbetar så i det tysta som cellulosa. Denna jättemolekyl, även kallad polymer, består av fastkedjade glukosmolekyler och är hela naturens byggsten. Till synes är cellulosa den perfekta molekylen - utvinningsbar i enorma massor från exempelvis skogsindustri och med allehanda användningsområden inom exempelvis läkemedels-, textil- och även på senare tid inom biobränsleindustri. För atThe underlying mechanism of gel formation in solutions containing microcrystalline cellulose dissolved in cold alkali with and without addition of urea was investigated using rheological methods, spectrophotometry, scattering techniques and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. From the obtained results it is found that gelation occurs due to a microscopic precipitation of cellulose II, which i

Newcomers organizational socialization has been emphasized as the most critical period of employment, because of the high number of redundancies among new employees. While striving for an understanding of this socialization process, researcher within the field has identified different tactics that organizations tend to use in order to form newcomers behavior and attitudes. Meanwhile, it has also b

I takt med att tekniken går framåt blir den även vanligare i undervisningen. I dagsläget används IT som hjälpmedel på de flesta skolor och att elever ska lära sig att använda teknik är nu även en del av läroplanen. Då molntjänster har utvecklats och blivit en större del av våra privatliv så har de även senaste åren tagit sig in i skolan, även om det inte alla gånger varit lagligt. Tidigare forskni

Vegetationsbrandrisker i området av Gammelgården & Bommars klimatanpassning och varsamma åtgärder Kulturmiljövården är i behov av metoder för klimatanpassning för att säkra kulturarvet inför dagens och framtidens klimatpåverkan. Ett förändrat klimat kommer innebära kraftigare och mer omfattande bränder som utsätter bebyggelse i allt större utsträckning.

Cycles of drought can result in increased risk of fire in areas surrounding settlement and the cultural heritage. During the fire in Västmanland in 2014 the World Heritage site of Engelsbergs Ironwork were in danger and became water bombed. The incident at Enge
