Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) infections are difficult to diagnose and treat, causing severe economic losses to farms with infected cows. Eurofins Milk Testing Sweden AB screens cow’s milk using qPCR (quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) to detect M. bovis infections. Five performance characteristics were chosen to evaluate if ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) could replace the current sc

Hur kan organogen jordbruksmark återvätas för att minska växthusgasutsläppen? Våtmarker och sjöar dikades under 1800-talet ut och omvandlades till jordbruksmark för att kunna mätta en snabbt växande befolkning i Sverige. Men växthusgasutsläppen från dessa dikade jordar bidrar idag till ett stort problem som hotar både liv och försörjning: klimatförändringen. I Lunds kommun kan dikad jordbruksmarkDrained organic soils are a big source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many of these soils have, historically, been drained to increase the share of agricultural land. In Sweden, they emit around 3.4 million tonnes CO2 and 0.9 million tonnes CO2eq of N2O per year. This thesis was written on request of City of Lund, to gain a better understanding of the contribution of cultivated organic soils t

The study analyses postfeminism in an organisational context from a critical feminist perspective by exploring the contemporary perceptions of gender and gender equality in a female student career network. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate how these perceptions are projected and how they relate to organisational values, principles and processes of the organisation. Hence, How does postfem

Environmental damage during armed conflicts can create significant risks to the civilian population. It is associated with acute and long-term threats to public health and livelihoods, limited access to such resources as water. On top of direct impact (e.g. physical destruction), secondary impact (e.g. resulting from coping strategies of populations), armed conflicts also weaken environmental gove

Denna uppsats grundar sig på en översättning av tre noveller ur den spanska författaren Lucas Ruiz’ novellsamling El esquiador de fondo (2014). Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera översättningen och bruket av tempus i källtexten. Först i uppsatsen görs en analys av källtexten med hjälp av Hellspong & Ledin (1997). Utmärkande drag för texterna tas upp, bland annat det poetiska språket, meningsbyg

Validation and improvement of chemical kinetic modelling require accurate experimental data. The over goal of the present work is to obtain accurate data by using techniques that have been previously implemented in common flames, e.g. of methane, and showed good performance to provide high-value input for model validation of dimethyl ether (DME) combustion. Measurements of laminar burning velocity

The retail industry is in an ongoing transformation with new customer behaviors. In an omni-channel environment, multiple channels are integrated and the customer has a more central role within retail. Customers in an omnichannel environment are in general well-informed, digitally mature and have high demands towards the retailers they interact with. Traditionally, retailers could differentiate th

Studien syftade till att undersöka psykoanalys betraktat som emotionellt arbete i enlighet med Hochschild (1983). Inom såväl psykologin som sociologin har förekomsten och effekterna av emotionellt arbete för många yrkesgrupper studerats. Mycket lite har publicerats om emotionellt arbete i psykoterapi. Semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med sex psykoanalytiker. Det empiriska materThis study aimed at investigating psychoanalysis regarded as emotional labor following Hochschild (1983). The prevalence and effects of emotional labor has been studied in sociology as well as psychology in relation to many occupations. Not much has been published concerning emotional labor in psychotherapy. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with six psychoanalysts. The empiric

Syftet med denna studie är att klargöra vad som försvårar svensklärares bedömning av multimodala texter eftersom bristfällig bedömning hämmar elevernas möjligheter att utveckla sin digitala kompetens och exkluderar elevernas textvärldar. För att undersöka lärarnas bedömningssvårigheter intervjuade vi sex svensklärare på gymnasienivå angående deras bedömningsstrategier. Intervjun avhandlade multiThe purpose of this study is to elucidate what it is that obstructs Swedishteachers assessment of multimodal texts since inadequate assessments hinders students from developing their digital competence and excludes students’ textworlds. In order to find these assessment obstructions we interviewed six upper-secondary Swedishteachers about their assessment strategies in regards to multimodal text

Förstärkt uppvärmning på Arktis kan ha global påverkan Smältande isblock, förhöjda havsnivåer och ett utsatt djurliv. Vi exponeras dagligen för information om vad som pågår på jordens nordligaste delar. Men vilka förändringar är det egentligen som sker på Arktis, och hur kommer de påverka oss? Global uppvärmning är ett välkänt begrepp som indikerar stigande temperaturer världen över. Men vad månThe Arctic is warming at a rate two to three times that of the global average. Although only covering a small area of the globe, it is a vital component of the climate system. Through climatic feedback effects the warming is enhanced, and risks leading to further climate change. Simulations of future Arctic change indicate that the region will warm 3-4°C above end of 20th century levels by 2050. C

Numerous studies have discussed the importance of multilevel governance for enhancing climate action at the urban level. However, there remains limited knowledge on the proliferation of multilevel climate governance in the Global South. Addressing this gap, this study aims to explore the implementation of multilevel climate governance at the urban level through a case study analysis of three India

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is twofold. With a stakeholder perspective, the paper has the ambition of understanding why firms decide to invest in ethics. In this sense, we look at such investments both through the lens of mitigating downside risks as well as the lens of creating competitive advantage and shared value. In the light of ethical investments, the paper also has the purpose of e

Purpose – While e-commerce marketplaces have changed the way SMEs operate across borders, literature connecting digital platforms with the internationalisation of firms is scarce. Although the Uppsala Model and the Born Global concept acknowledge the influence of digital technologies, they do not capture the phenomenon of e-commerce marketplaces as a new mode of entry. In light of the new opportun

Various recyclability by design (RBD) guidelines for multilayer plastic flexible packaging (MPFP) were assessed for consistency among parameter values. 9% consistency was observed, which is on the lower end of devised consistency scale. Poly-ethylene and poly-propylene are the two major emerging recycling streams in Danone Nutricia’s six key EU market countries. However, a need for consolidated ce

Aluminum blisters are a widely used packaging type in the pharmaceutical industry, including Elanco Animal Health Inc., a major player in the animal health business. Excellent barrier properties and convenience of usage to the consumers make it an ideal solution. Unfortunately, due to lack of innovation since its invention in the 1960s, there have been certain shortcomings in it use; like lack in
