A beverage package is exerted to different loading conditions during its lifetime. Today, there is limited knowledge on material responses on a micro scale and how these affect the macroscopic behaviour in general. Tetra Pak® produces packaging material consisting of several layers of materials, such as polymers, paperboard and aluminium foil. This master’s thesis focuses on the aluminium foil, mo

PFASs (Polyfluoroalkyl and perfluoroalkyl substances) is more addressed today amongst Swedish municipalities because there are concern for surface- and groundwater pollution and concern about long-term health risks.

I Sverige står värme för 55 % av den totala energianvändningen i bostäder och lokaler, där den nästan uteslutande används till uppvärmning av utrymmen och tappvarmvatten. Fjärrvärme tillgodoser 90 % av svenska flerbostadshus värmebehov medan motsvarande siffra är 3 respektive 80 % för industrier och offentliga lokaler. De olika kundkategorierna skiljer sig åt i användarmönster, både sett till effe
A suggested explanation for the observed differences in chemical abundances in binary stars has been planet formation (e.g. Tucci Maia et al. 2014). If a star hosts a planet, the planet may have depleted the protoplanetary disc in volatiles and refractories. Assuming that the star accretes the remaining protoplanetary disc (neglecting photoevaporation), the depletion of the disc may alter the chem
Studien syftade till att undersöka psykologiska och sociala faktorer i arbetsmiljön. Detta gjordes utifrån två hypoteser med fokus på mobbning, destruktivt ledarskap och socialt klimat. Hypotes 1 var att de individer som rapporterade om att de blivit utsatta för fler mobbningsbeteenden på sin arbetsplats också rapporterade om ett mer destruktivt ledarskap.

This was done based on two hypotheses with a focus on bullying, destructive leadership and social climate.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det finns någon skillnad i lönsamhet för företag beroende på i vilket län de har sitt säte. Det finns ett antal tidigare studier och undersökningar om olika bakomliggande interna och externa faktorer som förklarar lönsamhet. Dock beaktas geografiska skillnader ytterst sällan i tidigare undersökningar, vilket är intressant då det finns många teorier som
This paper examines the stability of Islamic banks and conventional banks during and after the recent global crisis by determining the impact of the crisis on the banks’ stability.

This analysis suggests that

My thesis proposes a new understanding of flexibility in architecture. It investigates reasons for a generic and dull spatial expression of the majority of contemporary buildings. Nowadays, technology and lifestyle are changing so fast that buildings need to accommodate shifting functions. Unfortunately, in pursuit of flexibility, architects design featureless “boxes” which lack intentionality. C
Ecotourism has been touted globally as a tool that promotes sustainable development.

The aim of this paper has been to study how swedish governmental policy constitutes drugs and drug users as social problems and how these constructions relate to ideology and knowledge. Critical discourse analysis of several governmental policy documents show that the construction of ”the drug problem” is made up of discourse orders that advocate both epidemiological control strategies and symptom
As the packaging material (PM) becomes better defined from the results of technical development, its processing stages will be of greater complexity. The nip process is an example of one vital step in the lamination coating of PM, and this process is studied in the present thesis by analysing the surfaces of chill rollers (CR) and PM. Ideally, a laminated PM surface should be the perfect negative
