Syftet med uppsatsen är att studera hur ett segment av Generation Y ser på in-store recycling - en tjänst myntad av författarna till arbetet. In-store recycling är en tjänst som många fast fashion retail-bolag har börjat erbjuda genom att placera insamlingslådor för kläder som konsumenter vill ha återvunnet eller återanvänt, och i retur får konsumenten en belöning i form av en rabattkupong.

Cancer i olika sorters vävnad är allt vanligare i det moderna samhället. Beroende på var i kroppen tumörerna sitter kan de diagnostiseras med olika metoder. För att kunna diagnostisera tumörer i levervävnad krävs biopsier, vilket innebär att en bit av vävnaden med en misstänkt tumör plockas ut och genomgår olika pateologiska undersökningar. Biopsier kan dessvärre ge oönskade bieffekter eftersom enDiffuse reflectance spectroscopy is a method that allows investigation of the chromophore composition of tissue. The objective is to explore if the composition can be used to determine whether the tissue is healthy or not. The measured diffuse reflectance is often modelled by a diffusion model. However, the diffusion model has some shortcomings, and therefore this project uses a Monte Carlo model

With a fuel consumption of up to 150 tons a day for a containership, fuel cost is the main expense for shippers. To decrease expenses, drag reduction is the most important topic to address. The biggest factor that influence the hydrodynamics of a vessel is marine fouling. A heavily fouled ship can consume an additional 40 % of fuel or more. The process of marine fouling is an extremely diverse and

Maja Lundgrens roman Pompeji (2001) analyseras utifrån Viktor Sklovskijs teori om främmandegöring. Första delen av uppsatsen är ett försök att förstå begreppet, sedan undersöks möjliga exempel på det i romanen. Med hjälp av främmadegörande grepp kan konstnärer framställa vanliga företeelser och föremål på nya sätt, vilket gör att vi ser dem istället för att bara känna igen dem. I Lundgrens roman m

In order for Software Configuration Management (SCM) tools to provide good traceability links there is usually a great deal of manual effort required. The result is that data becomes unreliable, inconsistent and in many cases nonexistent. The main focus in previous research in this area has been to make general tools which can provide traceability between any type of configuration artifact in any

Project Utsikter (2008-2010) was to offer educational actions and preventive work with children aged 5-8 years whose parents had had prolonged livelihood support for at least 6 months. The group was represented at three different schools in Helsingborg. Twenty families were invited to the project. In this follow-up project five years after the completion of the initial project, the focus lies on e

Globalization, and fierce competition has been one of the main factors contributing to the increase of 24/7 work availability. 24/7 work availability is defined by the constant reachability of workers, and is regarded to be enhanced by the introduction and democratization of ICT.

Although an increasing number of women seek professional help for vulvar pain, there is still a shortage of theoretical models of psychosocial components involved in the mechanisms connected to the problem.

The analysis of spatial dependence can provide a useful perspective in the complicated analysis of the determinants of innovation in the regional level. Perhaps it is beneficiary to have geographical proximity towards other innovative regions. This study attempts to analyse and describe this patterns for 238 regions in two time periods of analysis (2000-2003 & 2007-2010). Visual analysis and s
