The comprehensive use of plastic globally has raised many questions about how it will affect living organisms once it is disposed of and reaches the ecosystem. Disposing of plastic in high amounts without recycling could lead to several toxic effects for aquatic organisms and eventually humans. Accumulation of plastic for a long time leads to its aggregation and/or degradation into small sizes in

Denna studie har kommit fram till att e-konsumenter äger en bristande kunskap om miljöpåverkan av returer och influeras av liberala returpolicyer, men även av den bristande produktinformationen upplevd inom e-handeln. Dessa faktorer resulterar i att e-konsumenter återspeglar en stark ansvarslöshet gentemot de negativa effekterna av returer. Vilket motsvarar resonemangen för att förklara attityd-be

Commercialising low-carbon innovations implies complex issues to be managed but is a necessity to attain a transition of industries for a sustainable future. This thesis investigates how an innovator can facilitate the adoption of their low-carbon innovation among stakeholders within the food industry. The case of Volta Greentech’s commercialisation of methane-reducing feed supplement for cattle i

The site of the project is located in Ådalen, a stretch along Ångermanälven in northern Sweden. A region that during the 19th century grew and flourished through the wood industry only to stagnate and be phased out in the middle of the 20th century. After that the region has been fraught with closures and population decline. In relation to the industries that have existed in the region, I have c

Åtgärder för minskning av kolpartiklar i åar Organiskt material (humuspartiklar) från förmultnade växtdelar har ökat i svenska åar. När organiskt material transporteras ut till havet och bryts ned av bakterier kan det bildas döda havsbottnar på grund av syrebrist på bottnen. Denna studie har sett att våtmarker möjligtvis kan minska mängden organiskt material i åar och därmed undvika att döda boAn increase of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from rivers into coastal waters has been observed in previous studies, leading to an increase in hypoxic zonesin coastal areas when the bioavailable fraction of the DOC is degraded causing harm to ecosystems and negatively affecting ecosystem services vital for society. The first part of this study investigates if constructed wetlands can be used a

Titel: Jakten på legitimitet - En kvalitativ studie om svenska organisationers CSR-kommunikation Universitet: Lunds Universitet, Campus Helsingborg, Institutionen för Service Management Kurs:KSMK65/SMKK60 Examensarbete för kandidatexamen, 15hp, VT2022 Författare: Medina Hajra och Dafina Babaj Handledare: Mikael Bergmasth Datum: 2022-05-25 Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur företag

MAX IV is a synchrotron facility currently running 14 beamlines hosting about 1000 users per year. It is one of the best of its kind; producing high quality Xrays at the forefront of synchrotron science. To have a beamline or a synchrotron functional, every equipment used needs to be placed in the workspace with high precision. In the current setup, this is supported by bluelining, a technique to

This study explores the relationship between online education and student grades at Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM) during the COVID-19 pandemic. By investigating the learning environment's impact on student grades in this setting, we can take advantage of the recommendations of online education in higher education in Sweden, which resulted in an unprecedented sample

Mitochondria play a pivotal role in eukaryotic energy metabolism. Like mitochondria across most eukaryotic species, plant mitochondria contain their own genomes and protein synthesis machinery. However, many plant mitochondrial key proteins and processes remain poorly understood. An example of this is the plant mitochondrial translation initiation. Although the cryoelectron microscopy (EM) structu

A prototype Neutron Activation Analysis (NAA) setup based on a Deuterium-Tritium (DT) neutron generator is under development at Lund University. It serves as proof-of-principle for NAA based on a Compact Accelerator-driven Neutron Source. One purpose of the setup is to test the possibility of providing environmental monitoring of pure alpha-emitters for the European Spallation Source currently und

Associated Trio is the newest sub-regional format of cooperation in Europe, counting only a year since its foundation in May 2021 by the three member states: Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova. It shares some similarities with the Visegrad Group, the most prominent cross-country cooperation format of the Central European states. The most important common feature of these two groups is that their member

Victoria Persson Abstract Mussel cultivation is a sustainable type of food production that may help mitigate the nutritional needs of a future world population of 10-12 billion in 2100. The demand for mussels on the French market is increasing but the production is saturated due to a lack of space for expanding the cultivation close to shore. This study looked at offshore possibilities for cult

Introduction: Avenanthramides are antioxidants present in oats, which are interesting as a food additive for functional foods. Background: The most common method used for extraction of avenanthramides is a relative time consuming solid-liquid extraction with aqueous ethanol, which is not suitable for large scale extraction. A greener alternative could be pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE).

Co-simulation is widely used in industry for the simulation of multi-domain linear-time-invariant systems. However, as a result of the not continuous communication between our coupling variables, simulation results end up being unstable and inaccurate. Among the different strategies that have been developed in the recent years to control co-simulation drawbacks, the aim of this thesis is to unders

The carbon market promises cost-effective climate change mitigation and economic growth. However, it has been criticised as greenwashing and delaying necessary decarbonisation. This thesis examines the genealogy of the carbon market to address the human rights consequences for future generations. Approaching the issue from a theoretical framework of intergenerational justice enables an understandi

Den här uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka om gymnasielärare upplever arbetstillfredsställelse inom läraryrket och om Human relations (HR) bidragit eller inte bidragit till upplevelserna av tillfredställelse i arbetet. Trots hög sjukfrånvaro i samhället där arbetet tycks spela en central roll insisterar människan om att arbetet ska översättas i termer som tillfredställelse och meningsfullhet. Lär

Uppsatsens syftade till att med kvalitativ metod undersöka upplevelsen av att arbeta hemifrån till följd av Covid-19 pandemin och vilket värde arbetare lägger i kontoret. Åtta intervjuer genomfördes med personer vars arbetsvardag blivit mer flexibel för att få djupare förståelse hur människor värdesätter möjligheten till att arbeta flexibelt. Människor upplever sig mer engagerade i sitt arbete när

This paper examined the language attitudes of native English speakers recruited from Reddit toward two native and two non-native English accents using the verbal-guise technique and speech audio files from The Speech Accent Archive (Weinberger, 2017). The two native English accents are General American (GA) and Received Pronunciation (RP). The two non-native English accents are German- and Mexican

In modern legal systems, criminal responsibility is based on the concept of agency, which includes autonomy, intentionality, and individual accountability. In parallel, as technology advances and the use of artificial intelligence in our daily lives becomes more prevalent, important tasks are entrusted to AI-driven systems. As a result, AI will increasingly perform independently of humans. The mor

In the last few decades, dissatisfaction with the prevailing critical paradigm ¬– what Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick as early as 1997 dubbed “paranoid” or “suspicious” reading – has grown significantly. This thesis is a survey of three recent works, The Albertine Workout (2014), Unfinished Business: Notes of A Chronic Re-Reader (2020), and A Ghost in the Throat (2020), that emerge from this discontent.
