Promoting reading through book clubs in academic libraries is a relatively new phenomenon in Sweden, despite the Swedish Library Act mandating that all pub-licly funded libraries should "promote the position of literature" (SFS 2013:801). In the Swedish context, there is limited research on reading promotion in aca-demic libraries. Internationally, some studies exist, but few employ a ca

Klimatförändringar är antagligen en av de största utmaningarna i modern tid, där förhöjda halter av växthusgaser i atmosfären har förödande konsekvenser på jordens livsuppehållande system. Koldioxid är ansedd som den mest utsläppta växthusgasen, vilket har lett till ett ökat intresse för koldioxidinfångning. Ett sätt för att minska de förhöjda halterna av koldioxid i atmosfären är genom koldioxidiWith climate change being one of the greatest challenges of our time, interest in carbon dioxide removal and mitigation has increased, as a way of minimizing emissions. As a result, carbon capture has become a key focus in the industry. One of the most common chemical absorption techniques is carbon capture using hot potassium carbonate (HPC). This process operates at an elevated absorber pressure

This degree project aimed to produce a standardized food product enriched with 14g polar lipids (PL) and compare its effects on glycemic response and appetite sensations both acutely and following a second meal in healthy individuals. In order to elucidate the viability of enriching a prebaked product with polar lipids researchers spent multiple weeks assessing variations in recipe, cook time, coo

Genom direktiv 2019/2121 och EU-domstolens praxis kan ett aktiebolag genomföra en gränsöverskridande ombildning till en motsvarande juridisk person i en annan medlemsstat.

This essay aims to investigate whether withholding tax must be paid in Sweden after a Swedish-registered limited company carries out a cross-border conversion without condu

Transporten i och genom de biologiska membranerna är väldigt viktig och har många applikationer i mat- och läkemedel industrier. Dessa membranerna består av dubbel-lager av lipid molekyler. Genom att blanda två olika sorter av lipiderna diglycerolmonooleate (DGMO) och glycerol monooleate (GMO-50) med nano-partikelstabilisatorpolysorbate 80 (P80) i överskott av vatten skapar det en lipidblandning mTransport in and through biological membranes that consist of lipid bilayers has a crucial role in many applications in the food or pharmaceutical industries. How to deliver an enzyme through the membranes without damaging the enzymatic activity or the "shelf-life" of the enzyme has been of large interest since 1970 [29-30]. In this work, we have shown that a thin lipid sponge phase (L3)

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis it to investigate if and how branding in public transportation can influence sustainable consumer behaviour. It is of interest to analyse the influence of different branding concepts (green, love and technology) on attitude towards public transportation, the intention to use and recommend it. Methodology: The study was of quantitative nature. Three brands for a

The construction and demolition sector stands for a large amount of the waste produced every year, roughly one third of all waste produced every year in Sweden, comes from this sector. The construction material manu- facturer Ecophon is a world leading company in manufacturing of acoustic products made out of glass wool, which are used in all kind of buildings and the general geometry of an acoust

The aim of this MSc-project was to investigate whether it is possible to incorporate native cell membrane components from Jurkat T cells into supported lipid bilayers, SLBs, to produce a model membrane system better resembling the native cell membranes in T cells. The procedure of forming native-like SLBs (nSLB) was adapted from an existing protocol and is done through the deposition of hybrid ves

Vikten av resurseffektivitet i livsmedelskedjan är tydlig, eftersom denna sektor är en av de största bidragarna till negativ klimatpåverkan globalt. Målet med den här uppsatsen var att utforska sidoströmmar av mat inom livsmedelskedjan i Västra Götaland, för att kartlägga hur mycket som redan är täckt i statistiken och vilka luckor i datamaterialet som finns för framtida forskning att täcka. DessThe importance of resource efficiency in the food supply chain is clear, since this sector is one of the biggest contributors to the negative environmental impacts globally. This thesis project aimed to examine food side streams throughout the food supply chain in Västra Götaland, to map out how much has already been covered statistically and what gaps there are in the data for future research to

Evolution of the aerobic iron oxidation metabolism Every living organism needs energy to survive and reproduce. We humans get our energy from food, mainly in the form of fats, sugars, protein, and perhaps some alcohol. Bacteria and other microorganisms are able to use other sources such as light and metals. In this master thesis I aim to find out how the cellular machinery needed for the aerobic

Authors: Emma Nilsson and Emma Silverberg Title: People in a crisis are not able to work with change Supervisor: Helene Hansen Assessor: Mikael Sandgren The aim of this study was to examine social workers reasoning on social services support to parents of children placed in compulsory care. This study was based on the Swedish social services law, 6:7 Socialtjänstlagen, that describes that parents

Problem Definition The TV landscape is changing, with technological progress the industry is moving to become a more personalised experience, where the consumer can choose what to watch and when. The entrance of on-demand video services and piracy are rewriting the way people consume their favourite series and movies, which opens up a new market with new opportunities. This new market is one where

Sammanfattning: Ett informationssystem är i grund och botten ett sätt att lagra och bearbeta information. Alla sådana system bygger på en informationsmodell, det vill säga en modell för hur data organiseras för att de ska gå att bearbeta och omvandla till information. Idag existerar avancerade informationssystem för att göra spatiala analyser (GIS) och för att hantera byggnader (BLM-system). För n

In May 2009, a new Swedish legislation made it possible for a new tenure to enter the housing market – condominiums. Since the law took effect, only a few condominiums have been built, mainly by minor construction- and property companies. This thesis aims to investigate under what circums- tances it’s favorably to build condominiums and also to identify what ob- stacles and opportunities that c

High and increasing traffic on the railroad requires a more extensive maintenance. Railway technical welding is an important part of maintenance. To meet the wear is a specific arrangement of steel in the rail. The composition of the steel requires that the welding work on the rail material is considered as a special process. Since it is not possible to fully control if the welding is carried out

Planet earth is getting hotter and regional climates are becoming increasingly unpredictable across the globe. Cities and communities on all continents are already impacted by the changing climate, but also by two other crises – the fossil-energy decent and the 6th mass extinction event. These three complex and interconnected crises all increase the risk of food becoming a scarce resource. In fact

A model is used to describe a system physically or mathematically and to give information about changes in the system variables. Physical knowledge about the system and its quantities can be useful to build a physical model obeying the laws of nature. However, if the system is to be regarded as a black box with only input and output signals, system identification can be used to fit a mathematical

Klimatförändringar är en av vår tids stora utmaningar. För att kunna möta dessa finns det ett brådskande behov av att minska vart stora beroende av fossila bränslen. En lovande råvara för produktion av förnyelsebara och koldioxidneutrala bränslen är bioolja. Bioolja kan användas som ett substitut för råolja i raffinaderier och produceras från biomassa, vilket innebär att den kan agera som ett förnTo be able to face the challenges brought on by climate change there is an urgent need to reduce the heavy dependence on fossil fuels. Bio-oil is one such renewable and carbon-neutral replacement that has shown promising potential. A key step in making bio-oil commercially feasible is improvements of the upgrading processes of the bio-oil. One such upgrading process is catalytic hydrodeoxygenation

Under de senaste 30 åren har en ny metod för att få information om tidigare ekosystem utveck- lats, nämligen att analysera gammalt (“ancient”) DNA (aDNA). Denna forskningsgren är fortfarande ung men har redan hittat många områden inom vilka den kan tillämpas. Inom paleoekologin finns det två huvudsakliga ändamål med aDNA-analyser; att kartlägga en arts hela genom, samt att bestämma antal taxa och During the last 30 years a new method for obtaining information about past ecosystems has been devel- oped, namely to analyse old (“ancient”) DNA (aDNA). This research field is still young but has already found many areas within which it can be applied. In palaeoecology, there are two main purposes with aDNA analyses; to map the entire genome of a species, and to determine the number of taxa, and
