In this report, the implementation of a technology called sensor-based sorting technology is analyzed from different perspectives. The technology can be used to identify individual particles in order to sort wanted material from unwanted material. Today, the technology is widely used in different industries such as the food industry, the recycling industry, and to some extent the mining and minera

Millions of deaf people around the world live without the possibility of going to school or learning a language and experience a prolonged disconnection from their social environments. The purpose of this study was to explore deaf people’s experiences in Mongolia of a transition from social and psychological isolation towards a process of inclusion. The research was carried out by using mainly n

The purpose of this thesis is to highlight the phenomenon of “Sex for Grades” in Liberian universities as an intrinsically relevant category of study by illuminating the relationships between agency and structures; structures that may be enabling or constraining. We do this by analysing how female students use their tactical agency and apply this to the theory of social navigation, a theory that h

This research has analyzed SVT’s broadcasted EU news coverage in 2012. SVT is Sweden’s main public service media outlet, and the point of the research was to understand how EU news has been covered by this media outlet. The reasons for why this is important is because the media plays a vital role in democracies for a number of reasons looked upon in this research, one of them being that the media

The credit is a financial service which holds a vital role to the transactions between the financial and non-financial enterprises with their customers. The goal of credit is to aid the legal and physical persons to successfully face and thus to overcome their difficult economical situations. Due to the fact that the VAT exemption status of granting, negotiation and management of credit causes neg

Nighttime satellite photographs of Earth reveal the location of lighting and provide a unique and highly accurate view of human settlement, density and distribution. Nighttime lights have been shown to correlate with economic development and population worldwide. Little research has been done on the link between nighttime lights and population change over time. This link is explored here for Europ

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the possibility of asymmetry in the dynamic conditional correlation of stock returns and gold returns. We hypothesize that this asymmetry might be different for large and small firms, as a result of size specific characteristics that may influence firm profitability and risk following negative market shocks. We investigate this on three different sized U.S.

Popular science summary You are what you eat In this project I used a method called stable isotope analysis. This method is based on the principle ‘you are what you eat.' To begin whith, isotopes are forms of the same element sharing the same number of electrons but differ from each other in its number of neutrons in the nucleus. For example, stable isotope of 13carbon has one extra neutron

superparamagnetic nanoparticles have been used for different applications, especially for MRI as a contrast agent. Recently, a new technique called Magneto-motive ultrasound (MMUS) imaging was introduced making these particles also work for as a contrast agent for ultrasound. This method uses a time varying magnetic field as an excitation source to provoke motion of magnetic nanoparticles laden in

The worsening environmental degradation is a growing concern for politicians around the globe. Some scholars argue that there is a causal link between environmental degradation and violence, others say that collaboration is a much more likely outcome. Lake Victoria used to be a perfect example for those who criticized the link between environmental degradation and violence, because even though it

When speaking in terms of institutional fragmentation in global environmental governance one might rather immediately notice that a certain degree of said fragmentation probably is a perennial characteristic in this context and, arguably, preferable. However, the degree varies rather widely in time, space and issue areas. Fisheries being an example of a relatively high degree of fragmentation, sin

All languages distinguish between genders to a varying degree. Gender stereotypes in language are often gender-specific, where agentic words are considered as male and communal words are considered as female. Studies have found that countries with gendered languages express more sexism, compared to countries with natural gender or gender-neutral languages. The following study will investigate the

The company that this project takes place at has most of its production facility in Halmstad. A little more than a year ago this plant was exposed to a fire that destroyed the facility completely. The company is now planning to build a new plant on the same spot as the old was situated. Purpose The purpose of this project is to analyse the company´s material flow and based on the result make decis
