Livsmedelsindustrin i Sverige står för ungefär 20–25 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och 50 % av den totala övergödningen i landet. Ett sätt att minska påverkan är att minska mängden matsvinn som uppkommer längs med livsmedelskedjan. Matsvinnet kan variera mellan 10–50% beroende på förloppet i kedjan och typ av livsmedel. Genom globala och nationella mål har problemet med matsvinn fått allt större
Interpreting EEG measurements is of great relevance, both for developing underlying neuroscientific theory and improving existing applications. In this study, two networks with different approaches to time-frequency analysis and feature selection are compared on simulated and real data for semantic and emotional perception. The first network uses the Morlet wavelet transform to achieve adaptable f

För uppkomna personskador har individer som har skadats av läkemedel tre möjligheter till ersättning: via skadeståndslagen, produktansvarslagen eller läkemedelsförsäkringen. Detta innebär att de som har skadats av ett läkemedel har möjligheten att grunda sitt skadeståndsanspråk på tre olika ansvarstyper; culpaansvar, villkorat strikt ansvar, och en ”no-fault-försäkring”. De senare ansvarstyperna hIn case of personal injury, individuals who have been injured by pharmaceuticals have three options for compensation: via the Tort Liability Act (SKL), the Product Liability Act (PAL) or the Pharmaceutical Insurance (LFF). This means that those injured by pharmaceuticals have the opportunity to base their claim for damages on three different types of responsibility grounds; culpability, strict lia
Bakgrund: Oavsiktlig anestesiutlöst hypotermi är mycket vanligt under den perioperativa processen. Hypotermi ger en ökad risk för komplikationer som ökad blödning, infektioner i operationsområdet och obehag för patienten. Syfte: Syftet är att i en systematisk litteraturstudie granska och sammanställa forskningen kring förvärmning med varmluftstäcke innan ankomst till operationsavdelningen och de

58 million children around the world lack access to education, and another 250 million children only have access to unfit schools with poor quality. Through interviews with volunteer teachers and social workers conducted during three weeks of fieldwork in Tehran, this study maps the educational situation of undocumented Afghan migrant children living in Iran, in order to understand the role of edu
The purpose of this thesis was to explore the Swedish pharmacy market and the potential influence different levels of legal pressure have on sustainability reporting. Interviews with pharmacy representatives and document analysis of sustainability reports and policies were combined, grounded in a constructivist perspective to analyze incentives for sustainability reporting. The data collected was
The aim of this study was to analyze how municipalities can promote circular economy (CE) in the public procurement, focusing on procurement of computers. Furthermore, the aim was to identify opportunities and barriers for the integration of the CE within municipal procurement and analyze where the market is heading. The methods used in this study consisted of a literature study and semi-structure
Denna uppsats undersöker översättning och lokalisering av dataspel för den svenska marknaden. Studien utförs mot bakgrund av att engelskan har en mycket stark ställning i Sverige och inom dataspelsgenren. Uppsatsen bygger på en korpus som består av 104 dataspel som har sålts i Sverige åren 2009-2015, vilka har hämtats från försäljningsstatistik som finns tillgänglig från organisationen Dataspelsbr
Policy Coherence for Development is a concept, framework and tool for achieving a more effective and organized global development agenda. Under the principles of Policy Coherence for Development (PCD), the potential conflicts of objectives between various policy areas should be identified and preferably resolved – with developmental objectives in mind. The PCD has named some policy areas as “expec
Omfattande organisationsförändingar har lett till att en av verksamhetsgrenarna inom Skanska Sverige AB fått nya förutsättningar för sina chefsroller. Syftet med studien var att skapa en bild av hur förutsättningarna för karriärutveckling såg ut inom ett antal chefsroller i verksamhetsgrenen Asfalt och Betong inom Skanska Sverige AB och på så sätt bidra till en ökad förståelse för processerna av k
Based on a qualitative approach, this study examines and problematizes how employees in a flexible organization, through the internal communication community, consolidate and renegotiate the organization's identity. Furthermore, it creates an understanding of the flexible employees ability to co-create, and their view on the importance of being able to identify themselves with the organization
Knowledge inequalities persist between the Global North and the Global South, but also within countries between privileged and underprivileged segments of society. The purpose of this study is to understand the motives of researchers from basic science and technology to investigate on socially demanded issues as well as the obstacles they encounter. The study is based on the experiences from eleve
As commodities are becoming more popular and accessible assets for speculative and hedging purposes, the limited research regarding risk management for said asset-class justifies further contribution to the deficient output. Many previous studies have highlighted the extraordinary high volatility, with non-linear and clustering characteristics associated with commodities. Hence, incorporating vola
To optimize the weights in an artificial neural network most methods rely gradients, which are not always obtainable or desirable. Evolutionary algorithms are instead based on Darwinian evolution where no derivative is needed. These algorithms have a set of strategy parameters that can be dynamically updated during the search to increase performance. Two ways of updating the parameters are the so
Styvhetsförändringar i bröstvävnad är ofta kopplade till en patologisk förändring. Vissa cancertyper som infiltererande duktalt carcinom kan vara åtta gånger så styv som fettvävnaden runt omkring. Genom att komprimera bröstet och mäta trycket på bröstets yta har man identifierat att det blir en lokal förhöjning i tryck där det finns en tumör. Med hjälp av den här typen av mekanisk avbildning av brA change in stiffness of breast tissue is often connected to a pathological change. Some types of breast cancer such as infiltrating ductal carcinoma can be up to eight times stiffer than fat tissue. It has been found that during compression of the breast there will be a local area of relatively high stress at the breast surface at the location of a tumour. This type of mechanical imaging of the b
This Master’s thesis investigates if a previously integrated Simulink based vehicle model works for testing and verifying software on an ECU (electronic control unit) used to control a four-wheel drive coupling in cars. The testing is done through a specific program called CANoe that allows the tester to both develop and run test cases. This work also investigates the possibility to use static eva
Since their emergence in the 1950’s, ice cores have ventured from being scientific objects of concern to a limited number of glaciologists to becoming one of the most iconic representations of anthropogenic climate change. This thesis aims to historicize the way in which ice cores became enrolled into climate discourse, particularly emphasizing the production and representation of temporalities of
Problem - Skanska Industrial Solutions AB lays asphalt over a wide geographical area, and never in the same place and is also a work that is dependent on the weather. Asphalt is a product with low to no capacity to be stored. These factors contribute to a distribution that has the necessity to follow the JIT-principles. The asphalt production is in of a steady flow of asphalt being transported fro
