Skål för hållbarhet?: Utmaningar och möjligheter med nya EU-direktiv i vinbranschen

Denna studie undersöker hur aktörer inom den europeiska vinindustrin uppfattar värde, beredskap och utmaningar kopplat till datainsamling till följd av nya EU-direktiv, särskilt CSRD och e-märkningsdirektivet. Resultaten indikerar bristande beredskap bland både producenter och importörer, där mindre aktörer i synnerhet upplever regelverken som komplexa och resurskrävande. Datahanteringen präglas i

Hur frekvens formar uppfattningar: En experimentell studie om beteendefrekvens, kompetensbedömningar och ansvarsutkrävning

Följande studie har ämnat undersöka i vilken grad beteendefrekvens förväxlas med uppfattad kompetens, samt ifall ansvarsutkrävande (accountability) kan ha en påverkan på sambandet. Följande hypoteser bildades: H1: Individer som exponeras för hög beteendefrekvens kommer att tillskriva högre kompetens till den bedömda personen jämfört med individer som exponeras för låg beteendefrekvens. Samt, H2: DThe following study aimed to explore the extent of which behaviour frequency is confused with competence, and furthermore if the manipulation of perceived accountability has any effect on the relationship. From this, the following two hypotheses were formed, H1: Individuals exposed to high behaviour frequency will attribute higher competence to the person being judged, compared to those who are ex

Förekomst och förebyggande åtgärder för salmonella på äldreboenden i Sverige

När maten blir en risk: Om smittskydd och ansvar inom äldreomsor gen Livsmedelsburna sjukdomar förekommer över hela världen och kan orsaka sjukdom hos alla människor. Äldre människor är i riskgrupp på grund av deras nedsatta immunsvar och längre återhämtningstid. Detta gör att våra äldre drabbas hårdare av sjukdomar än andra. Samtidigt är det en del av vår äldre befolkning som bor på äldreboenFoodborne diseases are a growing global concern, and a shift in trends has occurred re garding salmonella infections in Sweden. The purpose of this study is therefore to inves tigate how nursing homes in Sweden work to prevent foodborne infections.

Hyperspectral remote sensing and machine learning for greenhouse gas flux prediction in a semi-arid savannah: key spectral features and their biophysical interpretations

Dryland ecosystems are important yet understudied sinks of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄), and sources of nitrous oxide (N₂O). Hence, monitoring greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes and their responses to climate change in these systems is increasingly important. This thesis investigates the potential of hyperspectral reflectance data (between 390 and 1750nm) to predict greenhouse gas fluxes during

Dual peptide insertion in capsid of Adeno-associated virus

Modifierade virus ökar effektivitet i behandling av genetiska sjukdomar Det finns virus som är helt ofarliga för oss människor som forskare har insett att man kan utnyttja till vår fördel. Detta genom att placera en fungerande version av en trasig gen, som har orsakat en sjukdom, i ett ofarligt virus och injicera det i patienten. Viruset kan sedan transportera genen till cellerna och sjukdomen boAdeno-associated virus (AAV) is in gene therapy, a widely studied viral vector for delivering therapeutic genes to cure genetic diseases. A major limitation of the wild type AAV is its broad tissue tropism, which necessitates high viral doses to achieve therapeutic efficacy in target tissue. Despite its non-pathogenic profile, high doses can cause adverse immune responses. In this study, the capsi

Ethics of Transparency in Gamified System Exploring Transparency and Ethical Implications in Gamification

As gamification becomes increasingly integrated into digital systems, concerns around its ethical implications have gained relevance. This thesis investigates transparency as a central ethical issue in the socio-technical usage of gamified systems. While prior research has focused on user engagement and system design, less attention has been paid to how transparency is understood and enacted by th

Min mamma har Alzheimers, vad gör jag nu? En studie om stöd till unga anhöriga med en demenssjuk förälder

There is a lack of research on how young adults experienced having a parent with a dementia-related illness, particularly regarding the support they received. This knowledge gap risked leaving young relatives without adequate help, as existing support systems were often designed for older relatives. Therefore, it was essential to explore their needs and experiences. The aim of this study was to ex

Despite the scale and severity of the disaster, the deepwater oil production in the Mexican Gulf has increased since 2010. Through a Critical Discourse Analysis, using Corpus Linguistics tools, the US Government and BP’s public pr

Characterizing microplastics in biofertilizer. Insights into particle properties and environmental impact

Karakterisering av mikroplaster i biogödsel - insikter i partikelegenskaper och miljöpåverkan Mikroplaster i biogödsel kan bidra till att sprida giftiga föroreningar i miljön. När all vår plast bryts ner till mikro-plaster och hamnar i naturen kan den sprida toxiska ämnen och problem långt bortom den ursprungliga källan. Bio-gödsel från våra hushållssopor kan upplevas som en grön lösning – men deThe significant increase in global plastic production has led to its widespread environmental accu-mulation. Soil has become a major sink for microplastics, originating from sources like biofertilizers. This study aims to link the characteristics of microplastics in biofertilizer with their possible envi-ronmental effects, specifically focusing on the sorption of contaminants. Microscopy was emplo

Collective Intuitivism

The legacy of colonialism still wields a powerful grip: „through the property it occupies, the capital it is financed by, the materials it is constructed from, the underpaid migrant labour that continues to construct it, and the expertise that benefits from it through accumulations of social and financial capital“ (Herscher, 2021). Sadly, nothing of this incomplete list is within the past; we are

Buried but Not Gone – Internal Phosphorus Loading in Lake Vomb

På botten i en av Skånes största dricksvattensjöar gömmer sig gamla synder från förr. På sommaren kommer de till ytan och orsakar problem med vattnets kvalité och gör sjön ovälkomnande grön. I denna studie går vi till botten av problemet med förhöjda näringshalter i Vombsjön. Sedan en lång tid tillbaka har orenat avloppsvatten och vatten från jordbruksmark runnit in i Vombsjön. Vattnet har innIn this study, the internal load of phosphorus in Lake Vomb is explored. Years of external inputs from untreated sewage and agricultural runoff have built up tonnes of phosphorus in the lake sediment, periodically released causing HABs and impairing water quality. The aim of this study is to investigate how the internal load varies over a year and to explore correlations between internal loading,
