Save the world with Trichoderma Today a lot of people are talking about the health benefits of consuming probiotics and the importance of having a good gut biome, but did you know that this is also be true for plants? A lot of people may have heard about the beneficial effect of mycorrhizal fungi and nitrogen fixing bacteria, but few have heard about Trichoderma. The fungus Trichoderma is a her

Bin i södra Indien Vilda bin är mycket viktiga för både vilda blommor och grödor, eftersom de hjälper till att pollinera dem så att de kan bilda frön och sätta frukt. Över hela världen har dock antalet vilda bin minskat vilket kan innebära problem för både ekosystem och jordbruket. En stor orsaken till minskningarna är att jordbrukslandskap har intensifierats, vilket har gjort att landskapet har 1. Wild bees are very important for pollination of both wild flowers and agricultural crops, benefitting seed set and yields. However, declines in bee populations have been observed across the world and it has been proposed that the intensification of agriculture including landscape simplification by loss of natural habitats, is a major reason for these declines. India is undergoing large-scale ag

Digital teknik inom beroendevården och användarnas upplevelser av dessa är ett relativt outforskat område och då stigmatisering av substansberoende, i detta fallet alkoholism, utgör ett hinder för individer att både söka hjälp och upprätthålla en nykterhet. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilken roll det digitala vårdverktyget TripleA fyller i åtta användares liv i relation till deras missbDigital technology in the addiction care sector and the user’s experiences of this is a relatively unexplored area, and stigmatization of substance dependence, in this case alcoholism, constitutes an obstacle for individuals to seek help and to maintain sobriety. This study aims to investigating the role of the digital care tool TripleA in the lives of eight users in relation to their addiction, a

In 2015, Denmark saw a historic number of refugees and asylum seekers, many of whom were of Middle Eastern heritage, reach its borders,. As a response to this, the Danish government began tightening its immigration and integration policies, and restricting entry to the country. Many of these restrictions have been criticized both domestically and internationally. This thesis analyses four Danish i

Like an Office is a project about leaving the school premises and meeting people with a different perspective on design. We have been working for local entrepreneurs and organizations to explore what non-designers expect from us as prospective professionals. We started off by taking on smaller tasks that were delivered to clients on an agreed deadline. As the project progressed we developed the “

This master’s dissertation aims to investigate testing of anchors in general, and anchors installed in limestone in particular. A detailed study of the various types of anchors has been completed, as a study of the European standard – EN 1537 – of anchors and the testing of such constructions. A case study has been conducted where three anchors were installed in the limestone in Malmö, and then te

This case study attempts to analyse the dynamics, focus and progress of the feminist movements in Sweden and China today in order to pinpoint possible differences and similarities, and reasons behind them. This is done by comparing the agendas and actions of feminist networks in the two countries, as well as response in mainstream media and politics. I have also met and talked to a number of polit

Sorption av organiska biocider i dagvatten Regnvatten har länge ansett vara rent men detta är inte sant. Giftiga ämnen läcker från färgen och putsen på våra hus och påverkar de organismer som lever i våra sjöar och åar. Hur ska man göra för att få bukt med detta problem? Regnvatten, eller dagvatten som det kallas efter att det hamnat på marken, har länge ansetts vara rent. Detta är inte sant In recent years, the fact that stormwater is not as clean as previously assumed have been addressed. A variety of chemicals have been pointed out as more problematic than others. This report will focus on organic biocides found in paints, renders and flat roofs in an urban milieu. It will aim to assess sorption as a local treatment method and to develop and test a model for source identification.

The purpose of this study is an understanding of operator work in a production line and its connection and translation into simulation. A mapping of operator work in the production line was performed, after which tasks and were analysed for their relevance for simulation. A model draft was developed in the software FlexSim. The mapping and the derived model provides insight into operator work in t

This paper is a master's thesis by Erik Kivilo and Carl Olofsson at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University. The research and writing took place during the fall of 2014 under the supervision of Magnus Wiktorsson at the Division of Mathematical Statistics at Lund University, and Per Thastrom at EY, Copenhagen. The thesis concerns prudent valuation of fair-valued nancial instruments

The popularity of voluntourism (volunteer tourism) over the last couple of decades has developed rapidly into a global phenomenon. The concept of voluntourism seeks to align tourism with development initiatives occurring often within the Global South with the assistance of volunteer sending organisations (VTSOs). At first glance, voluntourism is seen as distinctly noble in its intentions with altr

Med 1920 års giftermålsbalk (1920:405) introducerades ett nytt system för makars egendomsförhållanden i svensk rätt. I denna ordning, som utgör gällande rätt än i dag, betonades makars självständighet genom bevarandet av den individuella äganderätten efter äktenskaps ingående. En rätt att vid den äktenskapliga gemenskapens upplösning få vara med att dela på den andra makens förmögenhetsvärde, giftWith the introduction of the Marriage Code (1920:405) in 1920 followed a new property regime for spouses in Swedish family law. This regime, which is in effect today still, emphasised the spouses’ remaining independence after entering of marriage through a remaining individual property ownership. Moreover, a right to share the value of the other spouse’s property at the dissolution of marriage, th

En mänsklig rättighet beskrivs som en så fundamental rättighet att varje enskild anses kunna hävda den gentemot det allmänna. Trots det ansågs det inte finnas något behov av ett mellanstatligt skydd innan andra världskriget. Då ansåg man att det var varje stats ensak hur de behandlade sina medborgare men efter andra världskriget aktualiserades nya krav. Detta ledde till att Europarådet bildades 19A human right is described as such a fundamental right that every individual is considered to be able to claim it against the public. Before the Second World War the general opinion was that there was no need for an intergovernmental protection. At this time, it was considered to be every states responsibility how they treated there citizens, but after the Second World War new demands were made. T

Att dika skogar till förmån för bland annat bättre tillväxt kan påverka och förändra faktorer som marktemperatur och markfuktighet vilka är de viktigaste faktorerna för markrespirationen och flödet av koldioxid till atmosfären. Markrespirationen svarar för huvuddelen av koldioxidflödet till atmosfären från ett markbundet ekosystem. Koldioxid är en viktig växthusgas och små förändringar av flödet kDitching forests in favor of for example better tree growth can affect and change factors such as soil temperature and soil moisture. Those are the most important factors for soil respiration and the flow of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. The soil respiration accounts for the major flux of CO2 to the atmosphere from the terrestrial ecosystem. CO2 is an important greenhouse gas and small

Grönlands inlandsis utgör världens näst största färskvattensreservoar. Forskning har visat att Grönlands inlandsis förlorar mer och mer massa, vilket också bidrar till den stigande havsnivån, i kombination med andra faktorer. Avrinningen förväntas också öka i framtiden på grund av den globala uppvärmningen. Hur mycket massa som lämnar Grönlands inlandsis beror på den totala massbalansen. Den totalThe Greenland Ice sheet (GIS) is the second largest ice sheet on Earth and thus stores a large amount of Earths freshwater. Because of climate change and the Arctic amplification, GIS is experiencing changes and increased melt rates. The total mass budget determines the amount of sea level rise caused by input from freshwater from the GIS. Surface mass balance (SMB) plus the dynamic mass losses fr
