The aim of this master’s thesis is to increase knowledge about how Swedish research libraries work with special collections, in aspects of preservation and user availability. Currently there is no general regulation in Swedish law regarding special collections, which may cause inconsistency in the management of collections. In order to illustrate this problem, and investigate what commission resea
The proportion of older adults in Sweden (aged 65 and older) is expected to be 25 % of the total population by 2060. Currently, the number of elders in Sweden who need help to prepare their meals are approximately 250,000. The creation of unique and customized food products and beverages targeting the health and nutritional requirements of the elderly population comes with challenges. New food-bas

The theoretical framework of the study is built around the notion o
“Affordable and clean energy” is EUs 7th Sustainable Development Goal and includes an increase of renewable energy generation in the global energy mix. A lot of the responsibility falls on the energy sector to transform and obtain solutions for a more sustainable future. The development is going towards decreased decentralized generation and an increased share of renewable energy sources like wind
En god anestesi beskrivs vara att försätta patienten i ett medvetslöst, smärtfritt och avslappnat tillstånd. För att uppnå anestesi används olika typer av läkemedel oftast i kombination.
