Matsvinn är ett problem med miljömässiga, ekonomiska och sociala konsekvenser. Nära en tredjedel av maten som produceras i världen idag kastas eller förstörs, något som är ohållbart av en mängd anledningar. Ett forskningsprojekt som drivs för att åtgärda detta är DynahMat-projektet på Lunds Universitet. DynahMat föreslår användandet av temperaturindikatorer och andra sensorer för att beräkna en prFood waste is a problem with environmental, economic and societal aspects. Up to a third of global food production is wasted every year, something that is unsustainable in many ways. Much research is currently being done to alleviate the problem. The DynahMat project at Lund University proposes using temperature indicators and sensor technology to improve food supply chains and provide a more accu

Urbanization triggers flooding because it replaces pervious land surfaces with impervious surfaces that have less capacity to infiltrate and store water into the ground. Detailed analysis and modelling of flooding in urban areas can be performed with GIS-based distributed hydrological models. However, the implementation of these models require high-level proficiency in GIS and hydrology. Thus, man

Today's urbanization creates big cities. More and more people are facing the problem with the increasing housing prices, and they had often to live in small or shared apartments. Most of the kitchens in those apartments are often small, which leads to a increasing need to use the available space in a more efficient way. An investigation conducted for the existing solutions in the market, has r

Intresset för upphandling med partnering ökar stadigt i Sverige då samarbetsformen medför goda effekter såsom till exempel minskade konflikter, ökad kvalité, tidsoptimering, minskade kostnader samt närmare relationer. Idag tenderar partnering i största utsträckning ske mellan entreprenör och beställare men även andra aktörer, såsom till exempel underentreprenörer, inkluderas allt oftare i samarbet

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a powerful tool for supporting disaster risk reduction (DRR). International agreements such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction call on high-income countries and other partners to support lower-income countries in strengthening their DRR capacities. This thesis explores the experiences of stakeholders in strengthening GIS capacities for DRR

Denna uppsats undersöker om variablerna i Fama och French (1992) kan användas för att relativt Capital Asset Pricing Model bättre förstå individuella aktiers idiosynkratiska risk framgent. De ytterligare faktorerna, utöver marknadsbeta, är företagens marknadsvärde och book-to-market. Vår analys visar att det finns ett signifikant samband mellan faktorerna i Fama och French (1992) och den idiosynkr

Double taxation has been widely accepted that constitutes an obstacle to the functioning of the single market. The European Union has adopted some uniform measures to have double taxation eliminated, for example, the Parent-Subsidiary Directive and the Interest-Royalty Directive. In addition, the Arbitration Convention has been concluded between Member States to eliminate double taxation in respec

Cities around the world are leading the race toward an environmentally sustainable future, but one of their major obstacles have been the personal automobile. The movement of people using public transportation often has a far lower impact than the personal automobile, but these systems are often rigid and expensive to build and operator. Now, with the emergence of intelligent transport systems – a

Iceland is an island located in the North Atlantic Ocean where the climate is cold and the weather can be unpredictable. The sun angle is low during winter, which gives minimum daylight. This darkness and strong winds affect the urban life in the capital city Reykjavík and controls how people commute and spend their free time. One of the main goals in the regional plan for the capital area is to

The Differentiated Services (DiffServ) Architecture, a Quality of Service (QoS) solution being worked on by an IETF work group, is aimed to solve the increasing problems with no service guarantees in the current Internet. New services such as video-on-demand and IP-telephony will be unusable without some sort of service guarantees on which to build applications on. A replacement architecture for t

The aim of this report was to study possibilities of making the process of extracting lignin from black liquor at pulp and paper mills more efficient in the form of a literature study. Lignin is a commodity that is likely to become more valuable in the future due to work being done by a number of companies in utilizing it as for example a base for the production of renewable fuels and carbon fibre

Att bemöta konflikter och problemskapande beteende är en betydande del av personalens arbete i skolan. I denna studie fördjupas förståelsen för skolpersonals upplevelser av att bemöta detta. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sex anställda på resursskolor angående deras erfarenheter och upplevelser av strategier de använt sig av, om strategierna var verksamma och vad de behövde för att hManaging conflicts and challenging behaviors among pupils is a significant part of everyday work for school staff. This study broadens the comprehension of the experiences the school staff had from approaching these situations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six employees at resource schools on how they experienced the strategies they used, if the strategies seemed effective and wh

Det utbredda tiggeriet i Europa öppnar upp för många frågor. I Sverige är regleringarna kring tiggeri relativt oklara. Efter min tolkning av gällande rätt visas att tiggeriet inte är förbjudet och inte heller tillståndspliktigt enligt ordningslagen. Dock finns det vissa möjligheter att genom lokala ordningsföreskrifter belägga det aktiva tiggeriet med tillståndsplikt med hänsyn till att det stör dThe widespread panhandling taking place in Europe opens for many questions. In Sweden, the regulations regarding panhandling is diffuse. According to my interpretation panhandling is not forbidden nor a subject to permission under ordningslagen. However, there are some possibilities to prohibit the active panhandling through local regulations with the means that it disturbs the public order. Prohi

I det svenska rättssystemet fördelas rättegångskostnader i tvistemål i enlighet med The English Rule. Huvudregeln är att den förlorande parten, utöver att denne får stå sina egna rättegångskostnader, åläggs att betala motpartens kostnader. Regler för hur rättegångskostnader fördelas i det svenska rätts-systemet återfinns framför allt i 18 kap. rättegångsbalken. Till huvudregeln finns ett flertal uIn the Swedish legal system, litigation expenses are distributed according to The English Rule. The rule is that the losing party of the trial is obliged to pay the opposing party’s litigation expenses, as well as its own. Distribution of litigation expenses is mainly regulated in the 18th chapter of the Code of Judicial Procedure (rättegångsbalken). The English Rule is not without exceptions. Th

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka gärningsbeskrivningens utformning och betydelse för bevisvärderingen i brottmål. Av 45 kap. 4 § RB framgår att åklagaren i sin stämningsansökan ska uppge bland annat den brottsliga gärningen med angivande av tid och plats för dess förövande och de övriga omständigheter som erfordras för dess kännetecknande. Bestämmelsen syftar bland annat till att den tillThe purpose of this essay is to investigate the formulation of the statement of the criminal act as charged and its impact on the sifting of evidence in criminal cases. 45:4 RB states that the prosecutor, among other things, in his summons application indictment must state the criminal act with an indication of time and place for the perpetration and the other circumstances which are required. The

Det finns i svensk rätt inget samordnat skydd för den personliga integriteten, utan istället är det olika bestämmelser i brottsbalken som aktualiseras när det skett kränkningar av den personliga integriteten privatpersoner emellan. Ett exempel på en sådan kränkning är hämndporr, från engelskans ”revenge porn”, som innebär ett spridande av bild eller film med sexuellt innehåll på annan person utan The Swedish law lacks a general law that protects personal integrity. Instead there are provisions in brottsbalken, the Swedish Penal Code, that are applicable when there have been violations of the personal integrity between individuals. An example of such a violation is revenge porn, the non-consensual distribution of photos or videos of sexual nature. After the Swedish Supreme Court’s ruling,
