This essay investigates the relation between economic growth and happiness, with regard to the central position of economic growth on the political agenda in the Western world today. In political argumentation it is often claimed that economic growth and existing economic conditions are challenged by processes of change, especially economic globalisation and "de-industrialisation". In th
The aim of this essay is to analyse the role women play for the male Beats in Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957) and how women, love and marriage are viewed in the text. The hypothesis that I argue for is that the male Beats' relationship to women is built upon an opposition. Their restless vagabond life with its characteristic search for "kicks" is contrasted with traditional and
This bachelor thesis describes the evaluation of a new software for deconvolution of liquid chromatography diode array detection (LC-DAD). The principal component analysis (PCA) based algorithm, Archimedes, is under development and there are still some issues that need to be resolved. However, the results are encouraging and potentially this algorithm will significantly extend and improve the appl
Denna examensrapport redogör för en metodutveckling av aminotransferase aktivitet som är utförd för Medipharmv AB i Kågeröd som tillverkar Enzobact. Enzobact är en bakteriekultur som består av värmebehandlad Lactobacillus helveticus och används vid tillverkning av lågfetthaltiga ostar, vilket bidrar till att osten får en bättre smak och konsistens.
I detta arbete presenteras en metod för bestämning av fri kotinin och totala mängden kotinin i urin och serum. Metoden bygger på hydrolys av prov (för total bestämning av kotinin) och extraktion i metylenklorid. Bestämning av kotinin har gjorts med HILIC-MS/MS.
Detta examensarbete redogör för en enzymatisk metod för att analysera den protolytiska aktiviteten i Enzobact. Enzobact är en ostmognadskultur,som framställs genom värmebehandling av Lactobacillus helveticus, och tillämpas vid ystning av lågfetthaltiga ostar. Det är lämpligt att en ostmognadskultur har en låg protolytisk aktivitet för att den färdiga produkten ska ha samma smak och utseende som en
The objective with the diploma work was to evaluate the robustness of the basic method and test rig used by Tetra Pak for testing the spores (biological indicators) resistance against liquid hydrogen peroxide. Tetra Pak uses liquid hydrogen peroxide as a sterilising agent in their filling machines to achieve an aseptic product. The resistance of the biological indicators is important to know when
När man bakar ett surdegs bröd är det viktigt att hålla degens egenskaper konstanta så att de inte ändras från dag till dag. Detta går att underlätta genom att använda sig av en starterkultur. Beroende på vilken kultur man använder sig av får degen dess unika egenskaper. Man kan till exempel använda sig av en bakteriocinproducerande bakteriekultur som stabiliserar degen.I detta examensarbete försö
Mycket har hänt i Sverige sedan de första vattenkraftverken bildades i början på 1900-talet. När vi nu gått varvet runt gällande energiformer finner man att vattenkraften är den enda energiformen som består. Olja är en icke-förnybar energikälla och bidrar till miljöförstörelse, kärnkraft är ren men farlig och samhällskänslig energiform som är under avveckling i Sverige. Sverige är långt framme i e

From the example of popular music and rockmusic the students of a music teacher education programme based on rock music are asked for their taste for music in
Problemformulering: Sen jag själv var arbetslös ungdom och inskriven i ungdomsgarantin har jag velat skriva om detta. Det dröjde innan jag fick tillfälle och när det uppenbarade sig kunde jag inte låta det passera förbi. När jag berättade för mina bekanta vad jag ville skriva om dröjde inte reaktionerna på sig. Det verkade vara mycket att tala om kring detta ämne och jag vad andra hade att säga om
Choir singing is one of the most popular national movements in Sweden but the knowledge of the meaning of this activity for health and well being from the choir singers? own experiences is limited. The purpose of this study was therefore to develop useful knowledge about the meaning of choir singing for participating persons from a health perspective. The data was collected through qualitative int
The growing economic risk of relying primarily on fossil fuels with unstable prices and which availability highly depends on limited reserves and poor global distribution has increased the international interest on modern biofuels as an alternative energy source. Moreover, the growing awareness of energy-related pollution and of climate change consequences, and the international and national strat
This paper addresses the problem of urban transport management in Sofia ? the capital city of Bulgaria. It highlights the tensions and contradictions in the current policy and practice and suggests that the adoption of mobility management in policy making would elevate municipal capacity to deal with complex transport-environment conflicts and set the framework for a sustainable development of the
This thesis investigates the virtual meetings characteristics and policy intervention options in Chinese organizations. Virtual meetings can enable the communication of two or more parities in different locations with assistance of ICT technologies. It is thus possible for virtual meetings to substitute conventional physical face- o-face meetings without business travel and the associated environm
It is likely that a high degree of political support will be required to realise the biorefinery concept in reality, as capital intensive technology development and stimulation of the most promising technologies for biorefineries requires that government will need to invest heavily before industry has the confidence in biorefinery technologies and bio-based product markets to invest fully. However
No setting more clearly demonstrates human influences than metropolitan areas that live and breathe human diversity, novelty, intensity and choice, but also environmental and social burdens. Technological solutions offer one avenue of support to alleviating many urban environmental stresses. However, sincere sustainability in urban environments can only be achieved if citizens choose to utilize te
Attitudes towards violence were assessed using both implicit (The Single Category Implicit Association Test; Karpinski & Steinman, 2006) and explicit measurements (a Feeling Thermometer). A group of criminals showed more positive explicit and implicit attitudes towards violence than a group of non-criminals. In addition, The Aggression Questionnaire (Buss & Perry, 1992) revealed significan
Energy security is revealed to be one of the most urgent issues for the Ukraine and the key driver for the diversification of its energy sources. The country is shown to have significant potentials for renewable energy sources, and specifically for biomass. The development of bioenergy options is believed to help the Ukraine combat its energy security problem and bring a number of economic, social
