An increase in demand for fresh vegetables resulted in an increased production of minimally processed, ready-to-eat salad in Sweden. That also brought new food safety challenges that are yet to be addressed. To assess whether ready-to-eat leafy green vegetables present a threat in terms food borne outbreaks, aerobic bacteria, as well as bacteria belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family were rec

UBER är ett globalt företag som växer snabbt. UBER har skapat en applikation som gör det möjligt att, via applikationen, beställa en taxiresa från en person som kör sin egen bil. Enligt UBER är det dock inget transportföretag, utan istället en teknologiplattform. Detta nya fenomen, där företag möjliggör tillgång till andra personers ägodelar, kallas för delningsekonomi. För att bli en UBER-förare UBER is a worldwide company growing rapidly. It has invented an application that makes it possible to request a ride from a driver which drives their own car.

När en vit skådespelare spelar en karaktär med östasiatisk härkomst kallas det för att personen iklär sig yellowface. Det är en mycket gammal teatertradition som fortfarande går att finna i bland annat amerikanska filmer än idag. I den här uppsatsen undersöks hur yellowface används idag, och varför det fortfarande används.
Quantum many-body systems can be studied theoretically from first principles using microscopic models, but the computational cost of numerically exact calculations increases exponentially with the number of particles and the complexity of the interaction, limiting the systems that can be analysed. The Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) and quasiparticle random phase approximation (QRPA) methods, heavil

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka potentialen hos geografisk objektbaserad bildanalys (GEOBIA) för att identifiera och övervaka alléer med hjälp av fjärranalysbilder och lidardata. För detta genomfördes en trefaldig litteraturstudie: först användes artiklar, böcker och rapporter för att skapa en bild av de viktigaste funktionerna inom GEOBIA. Sedan introducerades eCognition, ett välkäntThe aim of this study was to investigate the potential of geographic object-based image analysis (GEOBIA) for the identification and monitoring of tree avenues with the help of aerial imagery and lidar data. For this, a literature review into three topics was conducted: First, scientific literature in form of journal articles, text books, and reports were used to highlight key features of GEOBIA.
Stroke affects a vast amount of people every year. As a result, many survivors have at least partially lost some of their abilities which are necessary to complete everyday activities. Although rehabilitation can be used to improve those abilities, many survivors claim that conventional methods are demotivating and discouraging. The aim of this project is to develop and test interactive objects, w
Over the past decade, flooding has been a great issue for several countries in Europe. With the movement of people and assets to flood prone areas, consequences due to flooding are increasing. Coping with this problem requires an effective response to flood risks. Therefore, this work has aimed to describe the emergency response to the 2013 flood incident in Suffolk, UK. This, in order to provide
Four tree species in Oregon (USA) were studied to examine physiological and structural responses to drought stress: ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) in a semi-arid ecoregion, and Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) and white oak (Quercus garryana) in a mesic coastal ecoregion. This investigation compared the response of paired healthy and stressed (<10%
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore and critically challenge the potential and limitations of servant leadership to solve the human- related problems in the hospitality industry.

Forskning har visat att sexuell aktivitet gynnar individens fysik, psyke och relationer (Cox, 2009). Det saknas bred forskning kring kvinnans sexualitet, sexuell aktivitet och sexuell tillfredställelse samt subjektivt sexuellt välbefinnande i Sverige. Det var 31 kvinnor, 18-35 år, från Malmö och Lund i Sverige som rekryterades. Utgångspunkten var att utreda om det fanns en samvariation mellan sexuSexual activity has in prior studies been considered valuable to the individual body, mind and relationship (Cox, 2009). There were not much research devoted to sexuality, sexual activity,sexual satisfaction and subjective sexual well being of female individuals in Sweden. Firstly, this study investigated possible covariation between female sexual activity and anxiety, on the one hand, and depress

Beroende av kontext och vilka associationer som görs till ett enskilt begrepp blir det bärare av två olika betydelser. Ett problem uppstår då avsändaren inte kan kontrollera vilken betydelse mottagaren kommer tolka som sin sanning. Begrepp kan i sig användas både för och emot implementeringsarbete av likabehandling, jämställdhet och mångfald. Högskoleingenjörsstudenterna har i vår studie medvetet
