Din semester bidrar till den globala uppvärmningen Avfall är ett växande globalt miljöproblem och en aspekt som orsakar svårigheter är deponering av matavfall som är den tredje största utsläppskällan av metangas i världen. Metangasen kan istället nyttjas som fordonsgas vilket skulle bidra till en minskad användning av fossila bränslen. Därför är en god avfallshantering av största vikt men det ärWaste is a growing environmental problem, especially organic waste that decomposes and generates large emissions of methane. In controlled environments, the methane emissions could instead be used to reduce the use of virgin substances, example fossil fouls. A good waste management is therefore of most importance which sometimes can be difficult to achieve. The waste management is particularly dif

This study examines how the discourses from the British debate on the French burkini bans from 2016, portrayed Muslim women who cover. 13 articles from The Times, The Guardian, and The Telegraph covering the period of March to June 2016 were selected, and through a discourse analysis it was examined which chains of equivalence were constructed in relation to the nodal point ‘burqini’. With an unde

Traffic is increasing in the cities and most of the main roads are not designed for today's traffic, this creates environmental problems like noise and air pollution. Road users choose other roads that are not intended for through traffic, leading to congestion and dense traffic. The high traffic volume destroys housing environments and makes it unsafe and unpleasant to be out, especially for

This report issues traffic safety on a delimited route of Kristian II:s väg and Margretetorpsvägen in Ängelholm, mainly from a speed perspective. The speed of motor vehicles has a very big impact on the collision violence caused by an accident primarily between motor vehicles and unprotected road users. Speed measurements have been made along the route to get an idea of the speed. The high-speed v

I takt med urbaniseringen och teknikens utveckling har ljudvolymen i våra städer ökat och idag utsätts omkring 2 miljoner svenskar för buller i sina hem. Trots att forskning har visat att långvarig exponering för buller är hälsofarligt har buller fortfarande inte någon större prioritet i planering av bostäder. Detta projekt syftar till att undersöka hur bostäder kan utformas för att dämpa obehagliAs urbanization and technological development progress, noise in cities increase. Today, 2 million swedes are exposed to noise in their homes. Despite scientific studies showing that prolonged exposure is unhealthy, sound is not a highly prioritized subject in the planning of residential architecture. The primary purpose of this project is to investigate how residential buildings can be designed t

The continuously growing number of products containing nanoparticles makes their presence in the environment seem inevitable and given the well-known toxicity of dissolved metals, concerns regarding the toxicity of metal-based nanoparticles have been raised. Whether metal-based nanoparticles present similar or different toxicological effects compared to metal salts is a progressing field. In the p

Elförsörjningen som till huvuddel kommer från fossila bränslen uppfyller vanligen inte efterfrågan i Irak. Samtidigt som det finns goda förutsättningar och stor potential för att installera och utnyttja solel som en lösning för den bristande elförsörjningen men med omtanke som värnar om miljön. Idag har cirka 20 procent av den irakiska befolkningen ingen tillgång till el, de återstående 80 procentThe main supply of electricity from fossil fuels does not usually meet demand in Iraq. At the same time, there are good conditions and great potential for installing and utilizing environmental friendly electricity from solar energy as a solution to the lack of power supply. Today, about 20 percent of the Iraqi population has no access to electricity, the remaining 80 percent have no continuous el

An increase in large-scale agricultural investment in land has been going on since the global food crisis in 2008. Import-dependent countries have acquired large plots of land to secure food supplies. The investments had disastrous impacts on the local communities living on the land before the investment took place. Many have been expropriated and evicted from their lands, affecting their human ri

The world today stands at a cross roads when it comes to energy and electrical grids. A large part of the worlds population still lacks access to reliable working electricity 24 hours a day. Much of this is in remote and poor parts of the world. For much of the 20th century large centralized AC grids have been the norm to provide people with electricity. But for remote parts of the world including

Abstract: The importance of dietary fatty acids (FAs), in particular omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated (PUFAs), for immune system functions has been recognised and well-studied in mammals over the last decades. Recent studies suggest that similar positive/negative (e.g. strengthened/weakened immune com-petence) effects can be present in avian species. In this study, I explored these effects of ω

Framväxten av separatistiska organisationer för rasifierade i Sverige har periodvis erhållit stor uppmärksamhet. Förespråkarna ser det som ett sätt för strukturellt underordnade att stärka varandra, medan belackarna ser det som begränsande och destruktivt. Förståelsen för hur diskursiva praktiker struktureras inom separatistiska rörelser är emellertid begränsad. I denna studie har en diskursanalys

Små flygande mikroalger – vilka är ni? Mikroalger är små encelliga fotosyntetiska mikroorganismer (1–500 μm i diameter), knappt synliga för ögat. De finns precis överallt omkring oss, i luften vi andas, i vattnet vi dricker och på våra husväggar. Det är inte mycket vi vet om dessa små mikroorganismer. Några av dem är luftburna, vilket innebär att de kan sprida sig långa sträckor med vindpustar fr

There is limited research conducted into the field of male victims of intimate partner abuse. Although, recent Swedish studies show that male victimization from female offender may be equally prevalent as female victimization of partner abuse. Previous international examples suggest that male victims may be less likely to acknowledge themselves as “victims” and therefore less likely to take legal

In this thesis a system for tracking the fingers of a user using sound waves is developed. The proposed solution is to attach a small speaker to each finger and then have a number of microphones placed ad hoc around a computer monitor listening to the speakers. The system should then be able to track the positions of the fingers so that the coordinates can be mapped to the computer monitor and be

Unemployment, underemployment and stressful working conditions in today’s Greece comprise common phenomena whose consequences are not only evident in the socioeconomic sphere but also in the individual psychological sphere. The present investigation combines mixed methods focusing on the psychological impact of unemployment and underemployment on individual mental health, and on the role of attach

Indonesia has implemented national policies and legislations to encourage biofuel production as means to achieve energy security and self-sufficiency and to reduce reliance of fossil fuel reserves. However, there is still no clear road-map for the socio-technological transition. While acknowledging economic impediments, this case study investigates social and political obstacles to bioethanol prod

The memory is by far one of the brain’s most important and fundamental functions, but perhaps also one of the most unreliable. In order for information to be retained in memory, the brain performs, in a few milliseconds, an outstandingly complex process that is also very sensitive to external disturbances. With the information technology available today, it is easy to be distracted by redundant in
