Med en global befolkning som väntas nå 9 miljarder människor 2050 kommer det eventuellt att behöva produceras upptill 70 % mer mat än idag. Detta kommer att kräva ännu mer omfattande användning av gödningsmedel. I kombination med en växande klimatkris kommer behovet av biobränslen också att öka och ytterligare höja efterfrågan på näringsämnen. De flesta konventionella gödningsmedel produceras idagWith world population expected to reach 9 billion people by 2050, global food production might need to rise by up 70 %. This will require even more extensive use of fertilizers than today. In the wake of an emerging climate crisis the need for biofuels will also increase and further exacerbate the nutrient demand. Most conventional fertilizers are today produced in an unsustainable way and mineral

Abstract In Sweden many older closed municipal landfills lack current safety measures such as bottom liners and contain hazardous materials that are today strictly regulated or banned. Emissions from these pose a threat to health and environment now and in the future, having the potential to contaminate soil, groundwater, surface water and air. Risk for exposure is often increased due to poor doc

As the Internet and various social media platforms become key mechanisms in people’s lives additional stages for self-construction and self-presentation have become accessible. In a competitive job market with a range of possibilities to be heard and seen, people are advised to stick their necks out to gain employment. Since communication has to a large extent become digital, conditions of working

I dagens barnhälsovård möter BVC-sjuksköterskan allt fler familjer med samkönade föräldrar. Forskningen antyder att samkönade föräldrar generellt får ett övervägande bra bemötande inom hälso- och sjukvården. Dock tycks forskning kring bemötandet av dessa individer inom barnhälsovården i dag vara begränsad. Syftet med studien var att belysa hur samkönade föräldrar upplever bemötandet från BVC-sju

The architectural and engineering trend leads towards greater use of glass in buildings. Growing safety awareness often requires laminated glass. Laminated glass is formed as a sandwich of two or more sheets of glass and a plastic interlayer. Laminated glass can for example be used in stairs, floors, roofs, facades and balcony railings. This thesis deals with the most common interlayer polyvinyl

Abstract Bacteria exist everywhere, some of which are harmful to humans. To prevent spread of diseases and contaminants, handling, preparation and production of food are strictly regulated. In the geriatric care, food is served to very sensitive people with diseases or weak health and therefore it is very important that food and hygiene standards are high. In the municipality of Kävlinge some sho

The aim of this thesis is to investigate double taxation treaties impact on intermediate trade. Based on a panel data sample of five partner countries and 39 reporter countries over the period 1990-2012, the impact of signing DTTs on imports of intermediate trade in goods between two countries is analysed through a Gravity model. The main results show that DTT signing is associated with an increas

Frågan om vad världen egentligen består av har sysselsatt filosofer och vetenskapsmän i århundraden, och svaren har varit allt från de fyra elementen till atomer. När atomen delades i början av 1900-talet samtidigt som fler och fler nya slags partiklar observerades växte partikelfysiken fram. Partikelfysik är studien av de minsta beståndsdelarna i universum, de så kallade elementarpartiklarna. TeoAbstract The current Standard Model cannot explain many properties of the neutrino, including its mass. Models exist where a postulated heavy Majorana neutrino will give rise to the observed small neutrino mass currently observed. This thesis presents a search for indications of Majorana neutrinos with focus on finding heavy neutrinos and W_R-bosons predicted by the Left-Right Symmetric Model. Pro

Many Latin American economies benefited greatly from increasing international trade and an unprecedented commodity boom in the dawn of the 21st century. At the same time the region successfully reduced the prevailing income inequality, apparently without compromising economic growth. These events seem to challenge the common belief of economists, who proclaim the mutual exclusiveness of growth pro

Att minska energiförbrukningens klimatpåverkan handlar om att göra energieffektiviseringar och att ersätta fossil energi med icke-fossil. Olika icke-fossila energilösningar ger olika klimatpåverkan sett ur ett livscykelperspektiv, och därför är valet av icke-fossila energilösningar av betydelse för klimatet. Biogas kan användas både för värme- och elproduktion samt som drivmedel. Detta examensarbeReducing climate impact from energy consumption is a matter of improving energy efficiency and replacing fossil energy with non-fossil. Different non-fossil energy alternatives cause different climate impact in a life-cycle perspective and, therefore, the choices between non-fossil energy alternatives have an impact on the climate performance. Biogas can be used for both heat- and electricity prod

Varumärket är en av bolagens mest värdefulla tillgång och varumärkesbyggnad anses således som en central process för att öka vinsten i bolaget. Numera har varumärkesbyggnad gått från att vara en angelägenhet för marknadsföringsavdelningen till att hanteras av bolagets ledning. Att skapa starka varumärken i syfte att öka vinsten i bolaget är förenligt med ABL men det framgår dock inte om det är stä

The aim of this study was to examine how privatization affects the content of the social work carried out at Swedish “HVB-homes”. The institutional care of children is one of the most privatized areas of the Swedish welfare sector and is highly affected by the marketization of both the public and private sector. New Public Management ideas of result, control and goal has been implemented and affec

Incidences of patent litigation have increased dramatically in recent years. A growing share of this activity is being taken by patent monetization entities (PMEs). Through descriptive statistics and case studies, this article explores the relationship between PMEs, patent litigation and market uncertainty. The lack of rigid judiciary structure within the field of software patenting has left it pa

In this study, our aim is to analyse if social workers construct sex and maintain gender differences in their approach to men and women with comorbidity. We define a comorbid person as someone sustained from mental illness in general and who at the same time use substances. We apply a qualitative method with semi- structured interviews where we interview social workers who work with substance use
