Produktion av sterilt vatten är en energikrävande men essentiell process inom läkemedelsindustrin. Idag finns tre metoder för framställningen av sterilt vatten, nämligen flerstegsdestillation, mekanisk ångkompression och membranfiltrering. Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka en ny teknik, termisk ångkompression, på uppdrag av Aqua-Nova AB. Den nya tekniken innefattar en ejektor som integreraProduction of sterile water is an energy demanding but essential process within the pharmaceutical industry.

This paper examines the carbon price dynamics in the European Emission Trading System (EU ETS). It seeks to answer whether these can be explained by marginal emission abatement costs, as stated by theoretical propositions. The primary abatement method, fuel switching, and other potential determinants are examined to test their relative importance in carbon price dynamics. The results from the perf

Introduction: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive method which uses a combination of a strong magnetic field and radio frequency pulses to image magnetic difference between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the human brain. This contrast differences can be used to identify areas in the brain when subjects performing an active task in the MRI scanner. It is also possibl

Den här uppsatsen beskriver och analyserar den gränsdragningsproblematik som kan uppstå när enskilda ingår avtal med det allmänna. Genom praxis som behandlas inom områden så som avgiftsskyldiga högskolestudenter, barnomsorgsavgifter, parkeringsavgifter och patientavgifter framgår det att rättsområdena ofta är sammanflätade och består av olika delar som samspelar med varandra. Uppsatsen ger en kortThis thesis will describe and analyze the boundary problems that can arise when individuals enter into agreements with the public authorities. Precedent cases dealt with in areas such as university student’s tuition fees, childcare fees, parking fees and patient fees show that legal areas between public law and civil law are often intertwined and consist of different parts that interact with each

Skapandet och delandet av kunskap inom en organisation är en nyckel till att vara konkurrenskraftig inom sin bransch och vara innovativ. En stor del av kunskapsutbyte sker dock i informella sammanhang som uppstår naturligt på grund av att man befinner sig på samma ställe. Vid en övergång till distansarbete, som den vi upplevt till följd av Covid-19, försvinner den möjligheten och vad händer då

How does democracy affect income inequality? Most would expect democracy to reduce income inequality. There is a general consensus that indeed democratizations in Europe during the nineteenth and early twentieth century did decrease income inequality. More recent democratizations, those countries that democratized during the 1970s-1990s, however, do not seem to have had the same effect. The body o

Med allt större efterfrågan på tillgänglig data ökar antalet REST API:er markant världen över. Varje REST API har någon form av referensdokumentation, vilket är avgörande för förståelsen samt användandet av ett API. Samtliga API-leverantörer bör således överväga optimering av referensdokumentationens användbarhet för att underlätta inlärning och användning av sin produkt. Denna masteravhandling uWith an increasingly growing demand for accessible data, the amount of REST API:s worldwide is growing. All REST API:s come with some form of reference documentation, which is crucial for the comprehension and usage of the API. Every API provider should therefore consider the usability of their reference documentation, to facilitate the learning and usage of their product. This master's thesi
