Large quantities and numbers of organic compounds (OCs) from industries and domestic sources enter the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) everyday, which is an ever-increasing issue in modern society. In WWTPs, the pollutants are either degraded or emitted to the air, the effluent (water) or the sludge (biosolids). Even though the sludge may contain toxic contaminants and heavy metals, there is a

France and Germany are two closely connected countries with two very different identities. Despite of these differences they have been cooperating for many years and have been a driving factor behind European integration and have had a common interest in making the European Union a global actor with a more united foreign policy. Agreement between the two countries are not an axiom though, as the i

De senaste åren har privatiseringar inom välfärdssektorn blivit allt vanligare. I denna uppsats undersöker vi hur detta påverkar öppenhet och insyn i verksamheter som drivs externt på uppdrag av kommunen. I Sverige finns en lång tradition av öppenhet inom offentlig sektor, där offentlighetsprincipen är en av de viktigaste stöttepelarna. Men lagarna kring öppenhet och insyn ser olika ut beroende på

Denna uppsats undersöker begreppet säkerhetsdilemmat. Detta för att vi anser den gamla begreppsdefinitionen förlegad och inte applicerbar på moderna konflikter. Med en begreppsutrerande metod definerar vi säkerhetsdilemmats underliggande logik, för att på denna logik utveckla en ny definition av begreppet. Genom att applicera begreppsdefinitoner på en modern konflikt, det amerikanska kriget mot te

Graves’ disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease in which autoantibodies against the thyroid stimulating hormone receptor stimulate the thyroid to overproduce thyroid hormones. GD is caused by interplay of genetic, environmental and endogeneous factors and is more likely to affect women compared to men. Furthermore 1/3 of the patients suffering from GD develop symptoms of Graves’ opthalmopathy (GO).

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the Swedish newspapers' use of party-preference polls has changed over time. I study 246 articles published by Göteborgs-Posten, Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet and Expressen, and compare the time-period 1994-1996 with 2010-2012. Amongst other things, I look at the news-papers' reporting of basic statistical information in their polls, as well as th

Previous research has uncovered that immigrants from Somalia are one immigrant group that have struggled to integrate in Sweden. In light of this, I employ an ethnic-based approach with the intent to understand the difficulties that immigrants from Somalia encounter in Sweden by examining their own perceptions of integration. The study utilizes a qualitative case study approach and draws on data c

In this paper I examine the Swedish discourse on terrorism to be found in the Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet following the bombings in Stockholm 2010.The research question that the paper revolves around is: What discourse on terrorism was dominating Swedish media following the bombings in Stockholm 2010 and what discourse was the strongest challenger?

In this study the Swedish democratization process is being examined with the help of three modern democratization theories. In order to find out which modern theory best can be applied to the Swedish case two Swedish books, covering the time of interest are being examined. The two books are standard works used as political-historical course literature at Swedish universities. Results show that non

Abstract Background – The ability to generate induced pluripotent stem cells-derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CM) has raised much expectation for treatment of myocardial infarction as a stem cell based therapy. In the present study we aimed to evaluate the ability of iPSC-CM production in vitro from three fibroblast sources and verify if there is inter-clonal or inter-source variance. Methods and Res

Popular science summary:

The acknowledgement that mankind has a limited amount of resources in energy and a growing demand, joined with the awareness of the environmental impact of an only fuel-based electricity production have led to the expansion and democratization of renewable and green energies. The wind electricity production nowadays exists under various forms, differing one from another by their size, their mechan

Sammanfattning: Vind är en viktig process för sedimenttransport och för landskapförändring, och eoliska sediment (flygsand) kan användas för att rekonstruera forntida klimat. I Sverige är utbredningen av flygsand inte så stor och det finns inte många studier med kronologi- eller paleomiljöperspektiv. Det finns en uppfattning om att flygsanden avsattes direkt efter inlandsisens avsmältning och att Wind is an important agent of transportation of sediments and to change the landscape. Aeolian sediments can be inferred as a proxy for past climate. In Sweden aeolian sediments are not widespread and there are not so many studies on chronological and paleoenvironmental aspects. It is believed that aeolian sediments were deposited right after deglaciation and reactivated during recent times as a r

Syftet med studien är att undersöka om det föreligger ett samband mellan inre motivation och medarbetarskap, samt hur detta eventuella samband varierar beroende på situationsvariabler respektive demografiska variabler så som kön, anställningstid, befattning och utbildning. Detta utifrån en litteraturgenomgång som uppvisar många begreppsmässiga likheter. Enkäter delades ut till 88 anställda vid en The aim of the study is to examine whether there is a correlation between intrinsic motivation and employeeship and how this correlation varies depending on situational variables and demographic variables such as gender, time of employment, position and education. This is based on a literature review that shows many conceptual similarities. Surveys were distributed to 88 employees in a large organ
