The emerging market for meat substitutes has largely been filled with different types of soy products. Although soy usually has a lower environmental impact than meat, soy is not entirely unproblematic. Deforestation and global transportations are two negative effects of the increasing production of soybeans. One of these meat substitutes is tempeh: an Indonesian mold-fermented food usually made o
In this thesis project, properties and factors that are involved in the fractionation of wood when using deep eutectic solvents (DES) have been investigated. The project is based on an earlier project that was conducted at RISE Processum in Örnsköldsvik and the results from that is the foundation for trials in this project. In that first project, five different DES were used (Oxalic acid, Lactic
An important component of air disc brakes for heavy-duty vehicles is an adjusting mechanism, abbreviated 'adjuster', that regulates the clearance between the brake pads and the brake disc. The clearance is important to control as it affects the brake capacity. Normally, adjusters operate to decrease the clearance to compensate for wear of the brake pads. Recently, Haldex Brake Products AB
Drastic emission-reductions are needed to avoid the disastrous consequences of climate change. Flying is one of the highest individual carbon-impact actions. By 2050, the aviation industry’s share on global greenhouse gas emissions is expected to rise by 300 to 700%. An intervention to counteract this development is to reduce flying at universities as they have a critical role in leading sustainab
When a ground surface is subjected to a load an increased level of stress will occur in the soil underneath. As soil material has a limited permeability, an increased stress will initially result in an excess pore water pressure. However, as time passes the water will flow and the pore water pressure will even out. The relation between the total stress, the excess pore water pressure and the effec
The aviation industry is perceived as being unsustainable in the long term due to foreseen continuous growth and the use of finite natural resources. To become more sustainable airlines need to address sustainability in their business model and business strategies. This research explores how the two airline carrier types, Ryanair, an LCC, and Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), an FSC, have addressed sus
I Sverige är det kommuner som har ett yttersta ansvar för att den enskilde får det socialrättsligt stöd hen behöver. Kommunala myndigheter är därför enligt lag skyldiga att tillhandahålla en rad olika typer av offentlig service.

Proper management of water resources is a key to climate change adaptation and resilience in modern societies. Adequate treatment of wastewater is essential for ensuring the sustainability of the water cycle and the health of the environment and the ecosystems that inhabit it. It can also contribute to water supply needs in regions facing issues stemming from water stress. In this context, compute
Existing pick and place robots are either heavy or have a limited workspace for vertical operations. Since there is no robot today that are both light and have a good vertical workspace, this leads to a gap in the market. With the use of the laws of physics Cognibotics is trying to fill these gaps in the market, by developing new fast and lightweight robots. These new robots are designed to have a
Calcium is essential for the human body as it has functions in the nervous system, bones and formation of teeth. Deficiency in this important nutrient can be detrimental to health and cause life-long issues. Calcium can be found in various foods, like dairy products, but certain plant-based alternatives to milk needs to be fortified with calcium. One of the complications with calcium supplements i

Licensavtal spelar en central roll som medel för kommersialisering av intellektuella prestationer och resurser. Genom licensavtal kan en rättighetshavare ge någon annan rätt att nyttja en immaterialrätt inom avtalets ramar, utan att rättigheten som sådan överlåts. I många fall är avtalen dessutom varaktiga, eftersom nyttjanderätten består under viss tid.

I Sverige har alla rätt till skydd av personuppgifter, rätt att ta del av allmänna handlingar och yttrandefrihet. Rättigheterna skyddas av såväl våra nationella grundlagar som av EU:s primärrätt och EKMR. Det är dock inte ovanligt att det uppstår situationer där dessa rättigheter ställs emot varandra.
