Majonnäs består till största delen av olja och ägg. Detta är två produkter med flytande karaktär, så hur kommer det sig då att majonnäs har en sådan krämig konsistens? Att majonnäsens konsistens kan vara nyckfull är vi nog många som kan skriva under på efter mindre lyckade försök i köket. Här ska det redas ut hur den perfekta konsistensen uppnås.Mayonnaise is an oil in water emulsion with a high oil content dispersed in a continuous water phase. The egg is used as the emulsifier, which stabilizes the oil droplets in the continuous phase. The objective was to increase the knowledge of the mayonnaise production process and its impact on the mayonnaise quality. The approach was to produce mayonnaise with a high shear rotor-stator mixer and v

The Primeiras and Segundas Archipelago Reserve, located in the waters of northern Mozambique, is the largest marine protected area in Africa, extending over 200 km of coastline. Despite the region’s importance for the local economic, information on the marine ecosystem, notably benthic habitat, is very scarce. Twelve atolls were mapped in the region using object-based image classification of very-

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a broad area of management study and practice that has become increasingly important for business practitioners and academics alike. While the majority of authors who have written on the subject, including ourselves, are proponents of CSR in general, there is an emerging viewpoint that it is simply not enough for corporations to singlehandedly address CSR t

Detta magisterarbete bygger på en översättning av Amnesty Internationals “briefing paper” angående vissa europeiska länders samarbete med CIA. Texten är publicerad på Amnestys internationella webbplats och översätts för att kunna publiceras på Amnestys svenska webbplats. Den första delen av arbetet är en källtextanalys som bygger på Hellspong och Ledins textanalysmodell i Vägar genom texten (1997)

The purpose of the thesis is to showcase the affect environmental policy has on the centrallocal relations in contemporary China. The thesis argues that the central government is centralizing control of environmental policy by the use of the Prevention and Control of Air Pollution in Key Regions plan (Prevention Plan).

En uppsats som undersöker innehållet i ”Agenda for Accelerated Country Action for Women, Girls, Gender Equality and HIV – Operational plan for the UNAIDS action framework: addressing women, girls, gender equality and HIV” och tolkar det genom en institutionell teori med komplement av ett feministiskt perspektiv. Resultatet blir att bristen hos agendan kan förklaras genom institutionella begrepp så

Galagos are an understudied family of primates which inhabit much of Sub-Saharan Africa, some of which are potentially at risk. The coastal forests of East Africa are home to many galagos, however this habitat is under threat from an increasing human population seeking timber, charcoal and land for agriculture, amongst other pressures. This study used repeated transect methods when estimating the

Illegal timber harvest and trade is one of the main challenges in the context of global deforestation and sustainability. Different governance and self-governance initiatives throughout the history with the aim to regulate global forest commons have received plenty of criticism. This research investigates the potential of genetic timber tracking technologies as a tool to enhance existing systems a

Sensitivities for elasto-plasticity are derived using the direct and adjoint method. An elaso-plastic response is solved using both theory for finite strains and infinitesimal strains. The sensitivities are then used to maximize plastic work and to perform a material parameter identification of the initial yield stress.
