Vanadia was deposited on TiO2, ZrO2, HfO2, Nb2O5, and Ta2O5 supports using impregnation with either an oxalic acid solution of NH4VO3 or a solution of vanadyl acetylacetonate in ethanol. Prepared samples, with a nominal vanadia content in the range 0.5–2 monolayers, were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman and infrared spectroscopy, and were us
Baltic herring (Clupea harengus) oil was extracted and fractionated. To examine the contribution to toxicity and biological effects of different halogenated organic pollutants, the herring oil and the fractions were mixed into pelleted food and given to Sprague-Dawley female rats at three levels, corresponding to a human intake of 1.6, 8.2 and 34.4 kg fish per week. Herring oil, its fractions, as
UHMWPE crosslinked using Gamma radiation is believed to have improved wear properties, and this has been extensively studied during the past 10 years. Mechanical properties, oxidation, and wear properties of UHMWPE materials subjected to various thermal treatments have been investigated immediately after irradiation as well as after several years of aging. Nevertheless, the relationship between al
The concepts of target efficiency can be used to assess the extent to which service provision is in line with the needs of the population. Horizontaltarget efficiency denotes the extent to which those deemed to need a service receive it and vertical target efficiency is the corresponding extent to which those who receive services actually need them. The aim of this study was to assess the target e
Feeding norms are pervasive, and ideals of healthy food increase in relation to advice from commercial and government actors. Here we address how perceptions of “proper” food in Swedish family households are formed in relation to children’s preferences. We argue that what is served in today’s Swedish families should be understood in the context of discourse related to food and feeding and as a con
Summer 2018 I worked with a recycling coalition in the United States to investigate food waste as a topic essential in promoting environmental sustainability. We banded together with QFB, a large food bank, to focus on the problem of food waste in their food rescue process. During my time at QFB I noticed paradoxes between the practices and words of different stakeholders in the QFB system: most s
In recent years, negative attitudes towards migrants and refugees increased through the rise of right-wing and populist sentiments across Europe. The regional dynamics and the latest developments in the Middle East region prepared ground for the growth of far-right politicians of Europe. The dominant anti-immigration atmosphere in European countries changed the positive atmosphere to a negative at
Oil is very important for today’s society and the transportation sector is almost completely dependent on this material. Unfortunately, it affects the level of greenhouse gases negatively which in turn contribute to global warming. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, especially in the sectors that emit the most, as transportation sector. The European Parliament has decid
For non-binary people the law is not securing trans-specific healthcare in Finland. The current regulation is built on understanding of gender as binary and according to the Act on Legal Recognition of the Gender of Transsexuals (563/2002) a person can be confirmed to belong to the “opposite gender” if she/he fulfils the preconditions. One of the requirements is a mental health diagnosis prior to
Donald Trump's time in the White House has done decades of damage to women's rights, especially their right to self-determination. President Trump's appointment of two new Supreme Court justices has allowed the central decision making system on abortion rights to be repealed by making it federal, which has allowed dozens of states to repeal and ban it. This event demonstrated to the wo
The aims of this study were to survey a sample of Swedish adults with self-reported ADHD and to investigate: 1) the extent of their reported impairments in social functioning and the relationship between these and the severity of their ADHD symptoms, comorbid symptoms of anxiety and depression, psychological flexibility and ADHD-specific quality of life (QoL); 2) investigate whether the participan
This paper deals with the impact of China on Ukraine and Argentina in relation to their agricultural sector. Both countries are oriented towards export of commodities as a driver for their economic growth. Based on several data sources from world renowned organizations, a comparative analysis is conducted to study the positive and negative effect from the growing relationship of Ukraine and Argent

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur utbildning behandlas i förhållande till EU:s mervärdesskattelagstiftning. Vidare kommer denna uppsats att analysera rättsfall från EU-domstolen och hur domstolens tolkningar av begreppet utbildning relaterar till principen om neutralitet. Med detta som bakgrund kommer uppsatsen gå vidare och titta på hur Sverige har implementerat reglerna för denna typThe purpose of this thesis is to investigate how educational services is regu-lated for tax purposes under EU Law.

An increased understanding of the negative impacts of animal-based proteins, on both environment and health, has led to a rise in the demand for plant-based proteins. To meet the demands, conventional crops must be efficiently utilized. One possible crop is oat which is a good source of protein, fibre, and fat, but is currently mainly used for animal feed. To better utilize the proteins in oat, th
The present thesis explores the elements that affect the relationship between importers and exporters of agricultural products, using as case study the market for tropical fruits in Sweden. For this, the thesis looks into secondary data, backed with some interviews, to i) identify some of the perceptions and expectations that importers of tropical fruit have, ii) the way these affect the possibili
