With an increasingly population and urbanization, the solid waste management have become a major challenge for local authorities in developing countries all over the world. The local authorities must improve their waste management in order to minimize the negative effects of solid waste and to avoid future land use conflicts. At the same time the economical resources are limited and solid waste ma

Huvudsyftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka huruvida man gömmer undan hemlösa eller försöker integrera de i den urbana miljön. Har hemlösa samma rätt till staden och dess offentliga rum som övriga invånare? Studien presenterar först hemlöshet på en bred och global nivå för att sedan begränsas till att undersöka uteslutningmetoder i Sverige. Kriminaliseringsprocesser i USA studeras och likaså vilka

Kvinnor har låtit utföra abort under alla tider. Under merparten av historiens gång har ingreppet emellertid behandlats som ett samhälleligt tabu och var därför olagligt i flertalet länder fram till mitten på 1900-talet. Den sexuella revolutionen under 1960- och 1970-talet, i kombination med stora vetenskapliga framsteg på området för mänsklig reproduktion, har kommit att spela en avgörande roll fWomen have performed abortions during all times. For most of history abortion, however, has been treated as a social taboo and was therefore illegal in most countries until the mid 1900’s. The sexual revolution during the 1960’s and 1970’s, combined with major scientific advances in the field of human reproduction, has come to play a critical role in a changed view of the role of women in society.

The municipality is planning for the citizens and therefore the citizens should be one of the primary tools to use during the planning process. In this thesis were going to analyze a project, Fokus Dalby. It´s a project that helps the citizens of Dalby to take part in the planning process of their own community. The views of the citizens should be a critical factor in the planning process since th

Föreliggande uppsats ger inblick i processen att översätta en metod från engelska till svenska med allt vad det innebär av språkliga avväganden, kulturella anpassningar och tidsanpassningar för att få första etappen klar, själva översättningen. Dessutom tillämpas metoden på en grupp för att se om ytterligare anpassningar behövs till den specifika målgruppen. Denna tillämpning analyseras genom fråg

Att integrera medborgarna i den svenska kommunala planprocessen är både en skyldighet och en rättighet. Enligt lag ska medborgarna få insyn i planarbetet och få lämna synpunkter eller överklaga, men i det svenska demokratiska klimatet har kommuner också en fantastisk möjlighet i att låta sig inspireras och influeras av sina medborgare. En öppen process med ömsesidig respekt och intresse kan komma

The influence of Roman law upon subsequent legal systems has been immense. This influence is particularly apparent within the field of maritime law, where most principles – from jettison and general average to the bottomry bond – can be traced back to the maritime law of the Romans. This thesis has inquired whether the English ship mortgage developed from, or was influenced by, the Roman law, or i

This essay is about the fulfillment of the millennium development goals (MDG) and goal five in particular. That goal is about maternal health and has two targets. The first one is to reduce by three quarters the maternal mortality ratio and the second one is to achieve universal access to reproductive health. The main question in this study is why the millennium development goal about improving ma

The plant plasma membrane H+-ATPase was activated by the binding of a 14-3-3 protein. This complex can be stabilized by the fungal toxin - fusicoccin. During this activation H+/ATP stoichiometry changed (1). This work presents approaching to find the new stoichiometry. The main part presents looking for the best preparation of plasma membrane vesicles for measurements. A new pH indicator – Glu3 –

This study focused on expression, purification and functional characterization of three key proteins (Urc1p, Urc2p and Urc8p) in the newly discovered uracil catabolism (URC) pathway. A novel expression system was established by using Saccharomyces kluyveri as a host organism for expression of 6-His tagged Urc1p and Urc2p. Moreover, URC8 gene was cloned in pET151/D-TOPO vector and expressed in Esch

The aim of this thesis project was to study the reaction solution’s effect on the formation dynamics and material properties of the mesoporous silica SBA-15. The common synthesis procedure of SBA-15 was applied at 60°C, with 2.5 wt% Pluronic P104 dissolved in 1.6 M hydrochlorid acid. Simple sodium salts (NaCl, NaBr, NaI) or short to medium length alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, 1-PrOH, 2-PrOH, 1-BuOH, 2-BuO

Utveckling och utredning av en automatiserad temperatur kalibrering temperatur fosfor. I denna avhandling presenteras en halvautomatisk temperaturkalibrering för termografiska fosforer. Temperaturdata från termoelement, och fosforensens avklingningskurva registreras och synkroniseras med en temperatur som ökar kontinuerligt över ett bestämt temperaturintervall. Ett LabVIEW-gränssnitt har utvecklaThis thesis achieves a semi-automatic temperature calibration for thermographic phosphors. Thermocouple temperature information and phosphorescence decay curves are recorded synchronized and continuously while the oven temperature is ramped across the entire temperature range. A LabVIEW interface was developed in this context and applied to calibrate two phosphors, CdWO4 and Mg4FGeO6:Mn. These two

Background: Previous studies have shown the importance of good communication (GC) within the medical encounter; with patients‟ increased adherence and improved health, more effective consultations and more satisfied patients and physicians. Since society and the concept of GC have evolved over time it is important to continue the research on the characteristics of GC. Objective: To explore how GC

Uppsatsen gör en jämförande läsning av den svenska poeten och dramatikern Kristina Lugn och den österrikiska författaren och dramatikern Elfriede Jelinek, med fokus på hur båda gestaltar vardagsmyter i en barthesiansk mening. I analysen behandlas ett verk av vardera författare: Elfriede Jelineks Älskarinnorna (Die Liebhaberinnen) samt Kristina Lugns Om ni hör ett skott---. Ämnen som diskuteras är

The aim of this thesis is to enhance Axis Communications’ (Axis) product portfolio using new emerging technologies, developing products that will increase their global market share. By improving their products’ heat resistance Axis will gain a competitive advantage over its competitors in warm climate countries, enabling a great potential for market share growth. By determining the properties of

As global concern increases regarding pollution does the demand to develop more ecient and environmental friendlier propulsion system come in high focus. The main systems for transportation have been dominated by the Otto and Diesel engine for a long time, but both are trade-o in local and global emissions, i.e. NOX, soot, HC and CO versus CO2. This has driven the evolution to concepts as homogene
