Spent grain (BSG) is the solid residue obtained during brewing containing leftover malt and adjuncts. Though nutrient-dense, it is found to negatively impact texture and colour when used its raw form as an ingredient in food. Bio-processing presents an interesting method to alter the structure of BSG, rendering it a possible novel food ingredient to increase the nutrient capacity of products along

Current consumption patterns are not sustainable and are compromising the Earth’s carrying capacity and the future of next generations. Increasing sustainable consumption behaviours and practices are needed in order to decrease nowadays negative consumption impacts on the environment and achieve sustainable development. However, sustainable consumption practices are generally not performed as they

Sedan myndigheterna fastställt planerna på en höghastighetskorridor som ska knyta samman Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö, har intresset f¨or höghastighetståg ökat hos såväl allmänhet som forskare. Hastighetsbegränsningen på banan är ännu inte satt, men den kommer vara inom intervallet 250-320 km/h. Eftersom det är svårare att garantera trafiksäkerhet och passagerarkomfort vid dessa högre hastigheterIn recent years, high-speed railway has been on the upswing in the public debate, as Swedish authorities have affirmed the plans of a high-speed corridor connecting Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malm¨o. The track speed limit is not fully determined, but will be in the range of 250-320 km/h. At these higher speed levels, it is harder to ensure traffic safety and passenger comfort, and dynamic analyses

A discourse analysis is performed on police statements in newspaper articles concerning the spatial location of the new police station in Rosengård, Malmö, Sweden. The study uses Waquant's concept of territorial stigmatization and notions of reassurance- and reactive policing which has been made spatially fixed to the area of Rosengård. Reassurance policing, a Swedish iteration of "commun

Despite its small size Colombia hosts 10% of the planet’s biodiversity, in the over 53% of its territory which is covered by different types of tropical and Andean forests. However, decades of war have had devastating effects on the country’s environment, which is threatened with deforestation for the clearing for agriculture areas, mostly for illegal crops; as well as on its population, which has

The concept of sustainable urban drainage systems (SuDS) is increasingly recognised as a valuable approach to flood risk mitigation and urban landscape planning. Many European cities are considering integrating SuDS features to their stormwater management practices. More frequent weather events and water quality issues have emerged among the main drivers to advance the discussion on innovative way

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made rapid progress in the last years and in fields, such as computer vision, they are considered state-of-the-art. However, CNNs are very computationally intensive. This makes them challenging to use in embedded devices such as smartphones, security cameras and cars. This thesis investigates different neural network compression techniques to see which wi

Secondary data has been collected from the companies’ websites and marketing collateral. Theoretical perspe

This thesis investigates the potential application of Machine Learning in architecture to help mitigate contested terrain. The process is defined by research and insights retrieved from it. The initial analysis includes a historic overview of Mostar, as well as a status analysis of the current socio-political climate in the town, after which a brief introduction of Machine Learning lays the ground

From astrophysical and cosmological observations, it is known that most of the matter in the Universe is dark. This matter could be explainable by new particles, not included in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. This work assumes that there exists an interaction between dark matter and Standard Model particles, and investigates if the present relic density of dark matter in the Universe coul

Målet med arbetet har varit att ta fram en metodik för hur industriparker ska arbeta med tillskottsvatten och okända avloppsströmmar. Resultatet av arbetet har blivit ett förslag på en metodik för att identifiera okända strömmar av avloppsvatten och tillskottsvatten i ett avloppsledningssystem för spillvatten inom en industripark. Metoden är framtagen genom en litteraturstudie och från erfarenheteMany water managers manage to reduce the amount of Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) that is added to the sewer system. The reason for this is to reduce the number of basement flooding and overflows. This is not the case in Perstorp industrial park. The wastewater treatment plant in the industrial park has a permit on how much water the wastewater treatment plant is allowed to release into the recipient,

The purpose of this study is to explore the need for horizontal agricultural diversification in Guinea-Bissau (given the prominence of cashew crop monoculture in place in the country), how horizontal agricultural diversification is intended and planned by the current policies and what are the factors that hinder the implementation of such policies. A case study research strategy was selected to de

When the Lebanese civil war ended in 1990, the government estimated 17,415 persons missing or forcibly disappeared, of which most fates remain unknown. This thesis examines the truth-seeking process of the missing and forcibly disappeared people and its contribution to the reconciliation process in the context of Lebanon. The foundation of analysis is the truth-reconciliation theory, in combinatio

Marketization of the humanitarian system and the financial independence is thought to have an impact on humanitarian organisations’ behavior. With an increased insecurity for aid-workers and thus investment in aid-worker security management, research on this matter is pressing. This thesis seeks to examine the characteristics of the relationship between humanitarian organisations’ financial (in)de

Mängden koldioxid i atmosfären är ett av de största diskussionsämnena när det kommer till miljöförstöring i dagens samhälle. Koldioxid i sig är en gas som är svår att utföra kemiska reaktioner med eftersom den är mycket oreaktiv. Den består av ett kol och två syre som är hårt bundna till kolet med dubbelbindningar. För att kunna reagera måste någon av dessa bindningar brytas vilket kräver energi. The formation of [PCN-Ni-OAc] from reaction of [PCN-Ni-Me] with CO2 was followed by 1H NMR to determine the kinetics of the reaction. The second order rate constant was calculated, and the entropy and enthalpy of activation was obtained. The PCN-ligand were synthesised followed known synthetic routs. The crystal structure of the [PCN-Ni-I] complex was also obtained. A POCN- ligand was also synthe

Colorless distributed combustion (CDC) is a promising novel technology to reduce emissions of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides in gas turbine combustors. CDC features a different flame regime than conventional gas turbine combustors, associated with a distributed reaction zone and low and uniform temperatures due to dilution of combustion air with exhaust gases. In this thesis, an attempt has b

This thesis explores the communities surrounding true crime. This is explored in a qualitative manner, by studying four different communities surrounding criminal cases, as well as two interviews with people who consider themselves a part of the communities. The observations have been carried out on the forums: Reddit and Websleuths, as well as a chat-server on Discord. The aim of the thesis is to

The starting point for the modern pornography that exists today was after the first Playboy magazine was released. The rapid spread showed that there was a market for this. The purpose of this paper is to highlight the debate on pornography in Sweden. The survey is done through a content analysis that will analyze eighteen different articles. The theories that are used are Andrea Dworkins theory o

Feministisk utrikespolitik har sedan 2015, då utrikesminister Margot Wallström deklarerar denna inriktning, varit ett diskussionsämne inom den svenska utrikes-politiken. Uppsatsens analys genomförs med målet att åskådliggöra skillnader i hur regeringarna framställer kvinnor, hur de inkluderas och vilka rättigheter de har i de utrikespolitiska debatterna 2008 och 2015. Syftet med undersökningen är The Swedish feministic foreign politics has been a subject of political discussion since 2015 when the foreign minister, Margot Wallström, declared this new di-rection of the Swedish government. The thesis analysis is carried out with the aim of illustrating differences in how governments portray women, how they are included and what rights they have in the foreign policy debates in 2008 and 2015.
