In a critical way, it has analyzed some elements of the chal

Denna studie undersöker avokadokärnans möjlighet att användas som tillsats i livsmedel, både för att förbättra näringsprofilen men även för att minska matsvinn. Avokadokärnan utgör ca 20%, och då svenskar konsumerar cirka 19 ton avokados varje år, skulle det möjligtvis betyda att vi i Sverige slänger ca 3 - 4 ton avokadokärna årligen. Då avokado kräver mycket vatten och näring under sin tillväxt, This study investigates the potential of avocado seeds to be used as a food additive, both to improve the nutritional profile and to reduce food waste. The avocado seed makes up about 20%, and as Swedes consume approximately 19 tons of avocados each year, this could mean that we discard about 3-4 tons of avocado seeds annually in Sweden. Since avocados require a lot of water and nutrients during t

This thesis presents the derivation of the flavor structure of the Standard Model (SM) from the trinification model with an additional family symmetry. The trinification group is assumed to be broken in a single step to the electroweak gauge group. A low energy Effective Field Theory (EFT) is constructed and matched numerically at one loop level to the trinification model at high energies. The ana

The study focuses on the eco-design of sustainable packaging solutions for plant-based meat analogues, particularly plant-based burger patties. This is in response to the growing need for more sustainable dietary choices which can replace those of animal-based meat. Currently, most of the plant-based meat analog products in the market are packaged like meat products, which in turn are more sensiti

In order to elucidate the viability of enriching a prebaked product with polar lipids researchers spent multiple weeks assessing variations in recipe, cook time, coo

The concept of “undertaking” is a vital component of European Union Competition Law. Understanding when an entity is or isn't considered an undertaking is crucial to correctly applying the rules under this domain. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the concept of undertakings to delimit the area of competition law from others. The paper will explore the different definitions of “unde

Bakgrund: Arbetsterapeuter i kommunal verksamhet ses ofta som förskrivare av hjälpmedel i första hand, på bekostnad av andra hälsofrämjande åtgärder. De får ibland rollen som hjälpmedesleverantör eller brandsläckare men skulle vilja arbeta mer förebyggande och långsiktigt. Syfte: En ökad förståelse för hur arbetsterapeuter ser på sitt arbetssätt gällande förskrivningar av hjälpmedel - Hur beskriveBackground: Occupational therapists in municipality health care are often seen as prescribers of assistive devices first and foremost, at the expense of other health-promoting interventions. They are sometimes given the role of a provider of assistive devices or fire extinguisher but would like to work more preventively in the long-term. Aim: To get a better understanding of occupational therapist

Vi har undersökt ledarskap och betydelsen av sociala interaktioner ur ensemblelärares perspektiv. Syftet med vår studie är att undersöka hur ensemblelärare arbetar med sociala interaktioner och gruppdynamik i undervisningen. Studien utgår från lärare som arbetar, eller har arbetat, med ensembleundervisning på gymnasial nivå. Därav har vi utformat forskningsfrågorna: Hur resonerar lärare kring sin We have examined leadership and the significance of social interactions from the perspective of ensemble teachers. The purpose of our study is to investigate how ensemble teachers work with social interaction and group dynamics in education. The study is based on teachers who work, or have worked, with ensemble teaching at high school level. Hence, we have formulated the research questions: How do

Vid läskedryckproduktion kontrolleras kvalitén på läsken genom avgasning och aciditetsmätning. För att uppnå en tillförlitlig aciditetsmätning krävs det att all kolsyra är avlägsnad från läsken. Om det finns kolsyra kvar i läsken vid aciditetsmätningen påverkar den aciditetsresultatet till att bli missvisande. I dagsläget finns en väl fungerande metod för avgasning men som eventuellt är onödigt ti

In this thesis, we present the efforts towards finding an improved implementation of the newly proposed Born Spreading method for reduction of negative S weights in the MC@NLO matching prescription. The improved implementations are tested on various LHC processes with MadGraph5_aMC@NLO (MG5_aMC) and compared to default MG5_aMC, 2×2×1 folding and default Born Spreading. The runtime in each step and

Leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children, with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (B-ALL) being a common type in both children and adults. Different types of treatments are available, such as chemotherapy, stem cell treatment and immunotherapy. However, a recurring problem is relapses, with the survival rate after relapse being very low. In combating this issue new methods have been d

The initial concept of the electromagnetic elliptical wiggler (EEW) for ELETTRA is a combination of a vertical permanent magnet to generate a wiggler field and a horizontal electromagnet to provide the possibility of switching the helicity of the X-ray radiation. The main aspects of the design of the EEW under construction for ELETTRA are discussed.

The aggregation properties of heavy inertial particles in the elastic turbulence regime of an Oldroyd-B fluid with periodic Kolmogorov mean flow are investigated by means of extensive numerical simulations in two dimensions. Both the small- and large-scale features of the resulting inhomogeneous particle distribution are examined, focusing on their connection with the properties of the advecting v

The purpose of the study was to develop a simple and rapid method for measuring the average settling velocity of particles in stormwater ponds. Water samples with suspended particles were collected from the bottom of a stormwater pond in Lund, Sweden.
