The aim of this project was to investigate the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum 299v on the flocculating behaviour of beer starter culture yeast strains isolated from both top and bottom fermenting yeasts from a previous study (Li.Yu.,2014 unpublished). In the present study,microbial enumeration was done through basic culturing and plating techniques. Yeast strains and isolates of Lactobacillus p
Värdepapperiseringar och dess ekonomiska påverkan på den finansiella marknaden har sedan introduktionen av instrumentet på 60-talet varit ett utbrett verktyg framförallt för finansiella företag, men även för icke-finansiella företag. Men trots fenomenets praktiska utbredning på den värdepapperiserande marknaden, återfinns det desto mindre forskning och empiriska studier inom ämnet. Det har däremot
I februari 2016 lanserade Sveriges Radio nyhetsprogrammet Radio Sweden på lätt svenska, som riktar sig till andraspråksbrukare. Den här studien undersöker hur språket i nyheterna anpassas och hur väl andraspråksbrukare förstår dem i textform. Eftersom det finns relativt lite forskning om textanpassning för andraspråksbrukare syftar denna studie till att belysa konkreta språkliga aspekter som fören
Nanocellulose is being studied to a great extent around the world as it has great potential and many possible applications, for example, as an additive in greener polymers in a world where the need for replacements for fossil fuel based polymers increase. Different sources of cellulose are being considered for the production of nanocellulose as this can add value to what otherwise often is a by-pr
Bakgrund: Bipolär störning är en vanligt förekommande sjukdom som orsakar stort lidande hos de drabbade och deras närstående. Det är en vanlig diagnos som kräver livslång behandling. Förutom läkemedelsbehandling behövs även kunskap om copingstrategier. Syfte: Att beskriva hur personer med bipolär störning hanterar sin vardag. Metod: Litteraturstudie med med både kvalitativa och kvantitativa studie
Background. Lower tract respiratory infections are one of the most prevalent health problems worldwide. Influenza A is a main contributor to these infections, and infants are one of the risk groups for infection and developing serious lower respiratory tract complications. Better treatment for infants is needed, but little is known about the immune response that occurs in the lungs during infectio

Consumers’ knowledge that unsustainable consumption has a negative effect on the environment does not hinder their engagement in unsustainable consumption patterns. Applying system justification theory, it was of interest to investigate its impact on Swedish citizens’ attitudes and behaviours related to sustainable consumption. This study intended to discover why Swedish consumers do not always en
Tundra ecosystems are generally recognized as globally important carbon sinks, yet the knowledge on threats to such ecosystems is narrow. Climate change is predicted to reduce the number of muskox (Ovibos moschatus) in the arctic, it is therefore essential to understand the effect herbivores induce on the arctic ecosystem. The muskox is known as a keystone species in the arctic tundra. Such keysto
Car manufacturers have traditionally tested new productsusing intricate, but not very flexible, mechanical devices. The test methods have been designed to check that e.g. the user interfaces and controls work properly in various kinds of climates and environments and have a life expectancy that is adequate. It has however been difficult to test that the controls have the desired feeling. As of tod
Semiconductor nanowires are the potential base for building many future devices like solar cells and light emitting diodes. To reach the level of commercialization of such devices, mass production of NWs at low cost with reproducible high quality properties in terms of crystallinity, material and dimensions is a prerequisite. At Lund University a new technique, called Aerotaxy, which satisfies the
The use of computer models in research and development is a powerful tool to make the engineering process more effective. By providing accurate simulations, the need for working prototypes and extensive testing is reduced. This Master’s Thesis investigates the Gambro WRO 300 H reverse osmosis water purification system with the aim of creating a working and easily adaptable computer model of the ma
Swedish municipalities vary in size and they are differently vulnerable in regards to alterations and development. During the years 1993-2013 the population decreased in 161 of the 290 municipalities, and the following question leads us to the investigated problem: What is the source of the decreased population, and what are the consequences? The thesis restricts the research objects into three mu
Both the European Union and the Swedish government consider the need for evidence-based practice and public awareness crucial in nature conservation work. When authorities perform nature conservation projects, they need to hire machine contractors through public procurement. However, there is no way for the authorities to demand high competence in nature conservation work in the public procurement
I denna uppsats analyseras om, och i så fall hur, domaren kan minska risken för s.k. systematiska tankefel vid bevisvärderingen i brottmål. Ett systematiskt tankefel är ett tankefel som vi människor tenderar att göra gång på gång och som uppkommer som en konsekvens av hur det mänskliga tänkandet är konstruerat. Det finns anledning att anta att dessa typer av tankefel också förekommer inom ramen föThis paper is concerned with cognitive biases in legal decision making. A bias is a systematic error in thinking which can be explained by the way the human mind is designed. There are reasons to believe that judges fall prey to biases and errors when they are confronted with evidence in Court. The author discusses whether it is possible for judges to avoid biases when they evaluate legal evidenc
Denna studie syftar undersöka hur och med vilka intentioner hållbarhet integreras och implementeras av organisationer i en delningsekonomisk kontext. Vidare ämnar studien bidra till fältet för hållbarhetsvarumärkning, där föga forskning har utförts med avsikt att sammanbinda hållbarhetsvarumärkning med delningsekonomi. Tolv semistrukturerade intervjuer med VD:s och marknadsansvariga utfördes med sThis study intends to explore how and with what intentions organisations within a sharing economy context choose to integrate and implement the concept of sustainability. It further aims to contribute to the field of sustainability branding, where very limited research has been carried out in regards of sustainability branding within a context of sharing economy.

På Göteborgs bostadsrättsmarknad har man under många år observerat bostadsrättsförsäljningar till rekordhöga prisnivåer. Utgångspriserna på bostadsrätter har inte varit med om samma prisutveckling, vilket bidragit till diskussion kring fenomenet lockpriser. Lockpriser innebär att fastighetsmäklare sätter utgångspris som väsentligen understiger marknadsvärde. Marknaden verkar succesivt ha anpassat Gothenburg’s housing market has for many years observed increased price levels for condominium sales. The asking prices have although not observed the same increase which has contributed to a discussion about an ineffective market and the consumers experienced difficulty in valuing condominiums. Realtors in Sweden commonly set the asking price at a substantially lower level than the estimated mark
This qualitative study examines how the Israeli occupation affects and interferes with Palestinian intimate relationships in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The research material consists of semi-structured interviews with female students and graduates conducted during a short period of fieldwork in the West Bank in September 2016. The thesis shows that Israeli mechanisms of control, such as
