Pasteurization, regulation, optimization and process design for warm swelling fruit drinks

Pastörisering av drycker och flytande föda är nödvändigt dels för att göra produkten säker men också för att förlänga hållbarheten. Vid pastörisering höjs temperaturen på produkten i en värmeväxlare med värmeväxling från ett varmt medium, oftast varmvatten. Bakterier av olika slag dör vid en viss temperatur som hålls i en viss tid beroende på vilken slags pastörisering som krävs. Då en produkt skaThe purpose of this master thesis project was to compare two pasteurizers (pasteurizer 31 and 52) at Österlenmejeriet AB (ÖMAB) in Lunnarp, which is a part of Danone, France and once the differences were clear the goal was to have them equalized in the aspect of heating effects/temperature treatments/heating load and processing parameters.

Han ser rött, men ser han? - En kritisk analys av bevisning av uppsåt med särskilt fokus på självförvållat rus

För närmare åtta år sedan, 2011, ändrade Högsta domstolen (HD) sin tidigare praxis avseende tolkningen av 1 kap. 2 § andra stycket brottsbalken (BrB) – alltså det lagrum som reglerar uppsåt vid självförvållat rus. Den nya tolkningen innebar att uppsåt i dessa fall skulle behandlas enligt vanliga regler om uppsåt. Det är således inte längre fråga om att fingera uppsåt, inte ens i någon mån. SuzanneNearly eight years ago, in 2011, the supreme court of Sweden changed its previously established practice regarding the interpretation of Chapter 1, art. 2, 2nd paragraph of the Penal Code1 where intent and self-induced intoxication are addressed. A consequence of the new interpretation was that criminal intent in such cases of intoxication should instead be tried as intent in general and thus ther

Förtryckt hora, fri madonna – en undersökning av svensk rätts förståelse av prostitution och surrogatmödraskap ur ett radikalfeministiskt perspektiv

I denna uppsats undersöks svensk rätts förståelse av prostitution och surrogatmödraskap ur ett radikalfeministiskt perspektiv. Mot bakgrund av den radikalfeministiska utgångspunkten att prostitution och surrogatmödraskap är jämförbara med varandra, granskar uppsatsen hur en radikalfeministisk diskurs tar sig uttryck i SOU 1995:15 och SOU 2016:11. Genom viss rättsdogmatik, men framför allt genom atThis essay examines the understanding of prostitution and surrogacy within Swedish law, from a radical feminist perspective.
