Sustainable waste management system which focuses on prevention, reuse and recycle instead of burn and bury is difficult to agree upon, design and implement. I look at why after 8 years of development the city of Sofia chose to burn and bury most of its municipal waste despite a better though more difficult to implement alternative based on the Zero Waste concept was presented. I focused on the dy
The aim of the thesis is to research and compare the situation of management practices in Japanese companies in Japan and in Japanese companies abroad after a joint venture termination, particularly in Sweden. The changing in management style when Japanese companies go abroad is a highly researched topic. However, not that much research has been done on the Japanese companies in Sweden, specifical
The focus of this thesis is to perform a comparative study between two noninvasive optical techniques: Photon Time-of-flight Spectroscopy (pTOFS) and a Continuous-wave NIRS system for measuring muscle tissue oxygen saturation. INVOS 5100C (Manufactured in 2011, Serial Number 11-10269, Produced by Somanetics Troy, MI 48084 USA) is such a CW-NIRS system that provides tissue oxygenation using continu
This report is a continuation of the report, Crystal nucleation of poorly soluble drugs, I Method development and initial results. [1] The aim of the studies was to experimentally investigate the crystallization process. The focus has been on crystal growth, crystal dissolution and primary nucleation. For three model substances, Bicalutamide, Linaprazan and Felodipine, experiments have been carrie
This thesis/project work was initiated to establish a fast, < 10ms communication speed between ‘National’s Instrument Compact RIO’ which is a reconfigurable embedded control and acquisition system and ‘Vacon’s Frequency Converter’ to have command over an electric machine in a dynamic fashion. Task also included setting up a test rig, where parallel hybrid truck platform can be tested. Communicatio
In the thesis, first the author discussed whether same-sex marriage is a human right, and why it is a human right. After that, the author argued against those obstacles, such as religious or cultural objections, that denying such a human right, and the last part the author tried to analyse why there is a gap between the ideal and reality human right, especially in the same-sex marriage issue and w
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Skåne skiljer sig i många avseenden från övriga landet och variationerna i landskapets topografi och geologi är stora. Skåne rymmer därför många olika naturtyper. Tryck- och tänjningsrörelser i berggrunden har resulterat i de stora horstarna (”åsarna”), som genom förkastningsrörelser höjts över omgivande berggrund och bildar stora, långsträckta ryggar i landskapeThe Colonus Shale Trough (CST) is an important tectonic entity in the Sorgenfrei-Tornquist Zone (STZ) in Skåne, southernmost Sweden. The fill comprises a Cambrian through Silurian succession dominated by fine-grained clastic sediments and subordinate limestone. Three deep wells were drilled in 2009–2010 by Shell in order to investigate the possibilities of extracting shale gas from the Cambrian-Or
Analyzing Baltic trade pattern confirms that the economic transition, following the fall of the Soviet Union, largely involves a regional integration process with western Europe. This thesis examines the trade patterns of the three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania) focusing on the regional integration process with the EU. The objective is to investigate the trade relations with the EU mem
In recent years, self-employment has emerged as an important avenue of economic livelihoods for immigrants in the western world, including the Chinese immigrants. The debate on immigrant self-employment has been widely discussed across academia and given a considerable attention by researchers, policymakers and governments. This study addresses the self-employment experience of Chinese immigrants
One of the essential engineer’s jobs is to achieve the most economical technical solutions. Weight optimization is important since it provides a structure that can carry the applied loads in addition to fulfilling the structural requirements. In this project, a Matlab-algorithm has been developed to find the optimum design of steel portal frames according to “Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
Though the paradox between Human Rights and Intellectual Property Rights has been discussed, their relationship remains unclear. In this paper, to clarify the relationship between human rights and intellectual property rights in the process of globalization, I will examine the legislation and analyze the function of the legal regime we have today and present my arguments.
The restrictions on China´s capital account is the major restrictive factor for the international use of the RMB. The potential international status of the RMB must be included into the consideration by the monetary authority in designing the pace and form of liberalizing the restrictions, because, in general, the potential international status directly induces the potential benefits and risks. Th
Den här uppsatsen behandlar huruvida den Europeiska byrån för förvaltningen av det operativa samarbetet vid Europeiska Unionens medlemsstaters yttre gränser, Frontex, genom sitt arbete orsakar hinder för flyktingars möjlighet att utnyttja sin rättighet att söka asyl. Då den Europeiska Unionen (EU) har ett pågående arbete för att harmonisera de nationella asylsystemen i medlemsstaterna blir det intThis paper addresses whether the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders, Frontex, through their work causes obstacles for refugees in exercising their right to seek asylum. As the European Union (EU) has an ongoing effort to harmonize the national asylum systems of the Member States it is interesting to examine whether the system is coherent. Since bo
Rätten till en rättvis rättegång är en nödvändighet i en modern rättsstat, men i och med de nya globala konflikternas förändrade natur har den stött på nya utmaningar. Soldaters immunitet för vissa handlingar i krigstid är väletablerad sedan Genèvekonventionernas tillkomst, men de nya konflikternas aktörer uppfyller sällan kraven för sådan immunitet. Särskilt kriget mot den globala terrorismen harThe right to a fair trial is a vital component of the rule of law, but with the change in global conflicts, and particularly the rise of global terrorism, it has been presented with new challenges. Soldiers’ immunity for certain, normally illegal, actions has been established as a principle of international law since the adaptation of the Geneva Conventions. However, new conflicts, and especially
This thesis is a qualitative case study of discrimination based on stigmatization towards transgender individuals in Brazil. The current President, Jair Bolsonaro has made some extreme statements about the LGBTQ+ community throughout his career in politics, starting when he was a congressman in Rio de Janeiro and keeps doing so today, normalizing stigma and discrimination towards the LGBTQ+ commun
In the last few years, the implementation of well-ventilated façades in buildings increased due to their improved energy performance. However, their double-wall construction due to the limited airflow within an air cavity represents a significant fire risk, since the flames that spread into the air cavity can elongate up to ten times. The main goal of this thesis is to provide additional informati
