As part of a research grant aimed at producing chicken feed from the novel microalgae Scenedesmus sp., called the ReMAPP project, this thesis investigates opportunities to increase the conservation potential and protein digestibility utilizing solid-state lactic acid fermentation and commercial enzyme additives. The lactic acid fermentation mimics the traditional agricultural ensiling process, whe
Purpose: Environmental sustainability in the wine industry has become increasingly important. Most countries have implemented programs to ensure sustainability. In South Africa, the majority of wine farms belong to the sustainability scheme. However, small and medium wine farms face challenges in adopting sustainability practices. Therefore, this research investigates the barriers faced by SME win
This thesis examines the way in which Sweden opted to set up its taxation on the supply of energy from renewable sources and whether they are in line with EU tax law. Windmills in Sweden are granted a lower-rate tax than other sources of renewable energy production, which is stated to be within the scope of the de minimis Regulation. Firstly, the thesis starts by examining what State aid is, looki
This thesis investigates the remanufacturing potential of the electric front cross differential (eFXD) within the context of the circular economy (CE) and the R‑framework. Environmental assessment, mechanical validation and structured component classification are combined to identify opportunities and limitations for remanufacturing. The results show that a limited number of components, the tube h
The essay deals with implications for Human Rights development in light of China's rise to power. It discusses the problem from three perspectives, China's Human Rights commitment, the clash between western and Asian values and China's potential influence. It is mainly an overview and discussion of the problems and complexities involved in the development. From these three perspective
In this thesis, we evaluate the side-channel security of the NIST HQC post-quantum cryptosystem by analysing the official FPGA decapsulation implementation. A hardware wrapper was created to interact with the HQC decapsulation modules, enabling ciphertext decapsulation with precise power trace capturing using a ChipWhisperer CW305 and Husky setup. A dataset with 20k power traces was generated from
As plastic pollution in aquatic environments persists, gaining a deeper understanding of nanoparticles has become increasingly important. Yet, the question remains: what happens to plastic as it breaks down into smaller components, and ultimately, what end products are formed? Current plastic degradation methods are limited in their environmental applicability and efficiency. This study aims to pr
Despite the worldwide importance of entrepreneurship, economic research on this topic has been only fragmented so far. Therefore, the goal of this study was firstly to find a common ground between the established neoclassical, endogenous and institutional growth frameworks on the one hand and the entrepreneurial school on the other hand. For this purpose the distinctive models developed by Solow,
The bachelor thesis contains a presentation of three NGOs working for sustainable housing and infrastructure development for the low-income families in Costa Rica and Nicaragua and the future prospect of introducing a wider range of multi-storey buildings. A high number of the Central American population live in densely populated slums in urban areas with harsh living conditions far below the pove
Large and strongly growing organizations tackle the issue of finding a way to decide which business requirements to fulfill and which projects to move forward but often forget the strategic. Once a strategy has been developed, its implementation appears to be seen as a matter of operational detail and tactical adjustment. As efforts and resources risk to be put on the wrong projects, how do you ma
Background: Customers for buses and coaches on the European market ask for complete vehicles from one supplier. Since Scania CV are only manufacturing chassis, their sales companies must co-operate with body builders in order to offer a complete product and service backup. This means that the sales companies in connection with every order have to deal with two order processes, one for Scania CV an
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to create an integrative understanding of how OBCs are fostered by developing a framework for strategic implementation. Methodology: The chosen method is of an explorative nature with an abductive approach. The authors will develop an integrated OBC framework by synthesising relevant brand community literature. This OBC framework will then be scrutinized by e
This paper is a discussion on the relevance of compassion regarding human rights in liberal states. The study focuses a great deal on detangling and distinguishing compassion from other related terms and meanings that are commonly used as equivalent, somewhat differing and sometimes separate from each other. For this, Martha Nussbaum's account on compassion is used as a starting-point. Compass
Titel- Sex and the city för män? ?En kvalitativ studie om manligheter i förändring Författare- Malvina Britts Avdelning- Avdelningen för Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap Problem: Området som min studie rör sig inom är representationen av maskulinitet. Förändringar i representationen av maskulinitet diskuteras i olika sammanhang och en specifik drama/komediserie, Entourage, har på sistone utmä
Abstract This thesis examines whether it is possible to ascertain a measurable difference between granted and refused grant applications with automatic methods. A corpus of project descriptions from the Swedish Science Council was examined with different classification techniques and using different linguistic features. A Naive Bayes classifier is shown to be a good predictor for this type of pro
The aim of this thesis is to investigate why the municipality of Lund has not done more, in relation to LundaMaTs, to inform and promote the purchasing of organic provisions to the public. This is of interest since it is determined in the Rio Declaration and Agenda 21 that the current unsustainable production and consumption patterns need to change. The local authorities play an important role
The frequent replacement of office furniture contributes to the increasing production of solid waste that leads to the use of more landfill space. Germany only produces approximately 700000 t of office furniture waste per year whereas most of this waste goes to landfill or incin-eration (Nolte, 2001). In addition, there are concerns about the use of hazardous chemicals in office furniture producti
Presentation of problem: The movement of sediment parallel to the coast by waves and currents is known as longshore sediment transport or littoral transport. Throughout the years, researchers have found that knowledge of longshore sediment transport is important in connection with coastal engineering design, such as construction of breakwaters at harbour entrances, dredging of navigation channels,
The present study investigated the effects of three factors on the level of realism in frequency judgements. These factors were: Instruction (No correction for guessing/Correction for guessing), Format (whether the frequency judgements were made in terms of absolute numbers or in percent) and Difficulty level (easy/hard set of questions). All three factors were found to have a significant effect o
