Vindkraftverk är ett av samhällets främsta verktyg för en miljövänlig energiproduktion. Den konventionella designen av bladen är emellertid i stort sett oförändrad. Triblade är ny typ av design som har potentialen att revolutionera marknaden. Genom att använda en fackverksstruktur öppnar man för möjligheten att utforska andra materialval än de konventionella kol- och glasfibermaterial som anväIn the 21st century, wind power has emerged as a strong candidate in fulfilling societies goals of achieving carbon-free energy energy production. Windpower has evolved along with other technological developments, giving rise to larger turbines, but with the overall design trend remaining largely unchanged. Winfoor, a Swedish company based in Lund,aims to break that trend. With their new Triblade

Den vanligaste typen av kantzon som finns i jordbruket idag är kantzoner täckta av gräs. Dessa monokulturer utgör en del av ett större problem i jordbrukslandskapet. Ändrad markanvändning och användningen av bekämpningsmedel och konstgödsel leder idag till en minskad biodiversitet och att dyrbara ekosystemtjänster går förlorade. Etableringen av kantzoner berikade med blommande örter visade sig genWithin the agricultural landscape, food production has been rendered more efficient through mechanization and the use of pesticides and fertilisers. These developments has had a negative impact on the biodiversity and the ecosystem services that a high biodiversity contributes to. The establishment of field margins can improve the biodiversity and ecosystem services such as pollination and biologi

In light of a growing realization at the global level that the world’s agricultural system needs to change, the Dutch ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality recently announced its desire to transition into a circular agricultural system: a system where biomass and nutrient loops are closed at the lowest level of governance possible.

Since then they serve both meat-, fish- and chicken dishes. In recent years, many schools around the country are more concerned about the environment and therefore started to serve more plant-based diets and less red meat. Re

In this thesis, a magnetic study of two dierent arrangements of Fe3O4 nanoparticles is presented. The nanoparticles are generated using an aerosol technique and guided onto a substrate. The rst sample was produced by guiding the nanoparticles onto the substrate using an electric eld, resulting in large clusters of randomly oriented Nanoparticle (NP). The second sample was created by also applying

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka lagen (2020:62) om hemlig dataavläsning samt att jämföra den med tidigare tvångsmedelslagstiftningar och utvärdera tillämpningen av dem. Detta görs för att få möjlighet att analysera lagens lämplighet och den avvägning som lagen aktualiserar i dess införande och tillämpning, nämligen intresset av en effektiv brottsbekämpning å ena sidan och intresset av den peThis essay will investigate the Swedish Act of 2020:62 Regarding Secret Reading of Data in an attempt to gain an understanding of the law itself as well as create a comparative and evaluative matrix to older acts concerning governmental coercive measure.

Människan och hampan (Cannabis sativa) har en gemensam historia som går långt bak i tiden, denna historia är dock omgiven av kontroverser. Idag är Cannabis mest känt för sina psykoaktiva egenskaper och narkotika klassificering i många länder, men hampa har historiskt sett främst odlats för fiberproduktion. Denna studie undersöker historisk hampaodling i Europa och är baserad på redan publicerade dHumans and hemp (Cannabis sativa) have an ancient relationship, dating back to the beginning of recorded history.

När man utvecklar ett användargränssnitt (UI), är det viktigt att kunna testa designen i det eftersökta användningsområdet. Att Testa UI i trafikmiljöer kan vara både svårt och riskabelt. Avhandlingen syftar till att lösa problemet genom att utveckla en VR-applikation där användargränssnitt kan jämföras och utvärderas i en kontrollerad miljö. Detta utfördes genom att följa principerna för en använWhen developing a User Interface (UI), testing the design in a designated area of use is of the utmost importance. However, Testing a UI for a bike in a traffic environment can be both difficult and risky. This thesis aims to solve this problem by developing a VR application in which UIs can be compared and evaluated in a controlled environment. This was completed by following the principals of a
