Det är välkänt att det industriella jordbruket har omfattande negativa sociala, ekonomiska och miljömässiga effekter. Hållbart jordbruk ses som ett alternativ till detta nedbrytande system. Dess syfte är istället att skapa ett jordbruk som är hållbart på lång sikt. Med detta som utgångspunkt undersöker denna uppsats hur den gemensamma jordbrukspolitiken (CAP) har påverkat hållbart jordbruk i SveriIt is well known that industrial agriculture has extensive negative social, economic and environmental effects. Sustainable agriculture has been designed as a way of out this negative cycle, and is meant to create an agricultural system with temporal stability. With this starting point, this thesis investigates how the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has affected sustainable agriculture in Sweden

With an increased importance of working capital management and supply chain risks, supply chain finance has gained an increasing interest from organizations across the world. A buyer-centric supply chain finance solution can create a ‘win-win’ situation for buyers and suppliers, by allowing buyers to extend payment terms and suppliers to get payments in advance. This allows both buyers and supplie

At the end of August 1999, the local government council of Malmö city decided that the area known as Kvarteret Bilen would be made available for the European Housing Exhibition 2001 (Bo01-mässan). Kvarteret Bilen extends over approximately 80 hectars and includes the western parts of the Western Harbour area (Västra hamnen) of Malmö. Kvarteret Bilen as a whole, but especially the western sections

Som ett led i de åtaganden som ställs på de länder som har undertecknat Kyotoprotokollet måste landvisa kolbudgetar fastställas. För att fastlägga bra kolbudgetar är det viktigt att kunna göra bra uppskattningar av kolmängden inom olika geografiska områden. Detta dels för att kunna uppskatta befintliga mängder och dels för att kunna påvisa förändringar över tiden. Denna studie hade som huvudmål atAs part of the undertakings of the Kyoto treaty, country-wise carbon balances must be brought forward. To do this, it is important to be able to make good estimations of the amount of carbon in forest areas. The reasons for this are to estimate the existing amounts as well as to prove changes over time. The main goal of this study was to estimate the amount of carbon stored in trees in a hundred-y

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Inflödet av kosmiskt material till jorden har inte varit konstant sedan jorden bildandes, men det är svårt att studera hur inflödet förändrats eftersom meteoriter lätt omvandlas och förstörs på jordytan. En metod för att studera förändringar i inflödet av kosmiskt material till jorden är att titta på förändringar i halten kromit i sediment. Kromit är ett mineralMeteorites are easily altered in the oxygen-rich environment on the Earth surface. Fossil meteorites are thus uncommon and in the ones, which are found, almost all minerals are secondary. However, the spinel group mineral chromite is resistant to alteration and has successfully been used as a proxy for ordinary chondrites in sediment. The frequency and composition range of spinel group minerals in

In recent years the railway has received a lot of negative publicity thanks to the large amount of delay hours that occurs during winter conditions and especially at snowfall. In our railway network, the points are the most targeted problem components were snow and ice cause the most problems. Due to its moving parts and low tolerances for disorder, a few millimeters of gap between the rails is en

Arsenic is an element and has a natural part in the earth with a content of 1,5-2,0 mg/kg in the earth crust. Arsenic occurs naturally in the bedrock and the Swedish bedrock contains anything from 1,0-40 mg/kg. Arsenic is more poisonous in its inorganic form than in its organic. The two most common types of inorganic arsenic are arsenite and arsenate. Arsenite (AsIII) is the most acute poisonous

The purpose of the present Master Thesis is to study, analyse and compare the attitude and knowledge of conventional or non-organic food consumers and organic food consumers in the packaging food disposal. Sweden and Spain are the countries chosen to develop this project. The research therefore will try to answer the following questions: • How much do conventional and organic food consumers know a

Popular Abstract in Swedish En fråga om liv och hälsa Livstillfredsställelse, personlighet och mortalitet i två äldre populationer Enligt en rapport från FN (2001) kan vi under de kommande 50 åren förvänta oss att andelen äldre över 60 år kommer att fördubblas.

Adaptive biological mechanisms to hypoxia are crucial to maintain oxygen homeostasis, especially in the brain. Pericytes, cells uniquely positioned at the blood-brain interface, respond fast to hypoxia by expressing regulator of G-protein signalling 5 (RGS5), a negative regulator of G-protein-coupled receptors. RGS5 expression in pericytes is observed in pathological hypoxic environments (e.g. tum

[Context and motivation] Quality requirements (QRs) are inherently difficult to manage as they are often subjective, context-dependent and hard to fully grasp by various stakeholders. Furthermore, there are many sources that can provide input on important QRs and suitable levels. Responding timely to customer needs and realizing them in product portfolio and product scope decisions remain the main

Our paper begins in the early days of the 2000s, a time when techno-futurist imaginaries sprung up around two emerging digital book formats: the e-book and the digitalized audiobook. However, while many actors celebrated the opportunities they saw in these new formats, many worried over what the consequences a digital future would have for the traditional printed book. Based on qualitative content

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a cornerstone drug in the treatment of osteosarcoma. However, achieving sufficient concentration in the tumor tissue after systemic administration with few side effects has been a challenge. Even with the most advanced nanotechnology approaches, less than 5% of the total administered drug gets delivered to the target site. Alternatives to increase the local concentration of DO
