Klorerade kolväten har använts inom diverse svenska industrier under framförallt 1900-talet. De främsta användningsområdena har varit som lösningsmedel inom verkstadsindustrin och som tvättvätska i kemtvättar. Några av de vanligaste lösningsmedlen är tetrakloreten (PCE) och trikloreten (TCE). De flesta klorerade kolväten är intermediärt vattenlösliga och har högre densitet än vatten vilket benämnsChlorinated hydrocarbons have been used in various Swedish industries, mainly during the 1900s. The main uses have been as solvents in the manufacturing industry and as washing liquid in dry cleaners. Some of the common chlorinated solvents are tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE). Most of the chlorinated hydrocarbons are somewhat insoluble in water and the density is higher than wate

This represents 10% of the total amount of manure from all livestock in the country. Most horses are found in urban or near-urban rural areas, which means that there is

I området utfördes resistivitets-, självpotential- och VLF-mätningar i syfte att hitta vattenförande zoner i kalkstenen. Kartering av skärningar och slukhål med avseende på karstfenomen gjordes för en disIn the spring of 2002, a region at Vanneberga meadows at Kristianstad Plain peripheral region was examined with respect to provide answers of the limestone nature and its significance for groundwater vulnerability.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is an influential global actor that in recent years has been criticised for the lack of female representation at their annual Davos summit. The WEF has justified this disparity as simply reflecting the current state of female leadership worldwide.

Given unsustainable food consumption patterns and current policies’ ineffectiveness to change them, new approaches are needed to promote sustainable food practices. In this thesis, I focus on the workplace as a leverage point for change. By studying the case of preschools in Lund with a mixed-methods approach that combines statistical and contextual analysis, I abductively develop a model of how t
10 000kalenderyears ago the first people wandered over the ice and onto Öland. Since then the vegeta-tion of Öland have been exposed to anthropogenic change and impact. During the Iron Age the population of Öland increases greatly due to strong connections to Rome. This time is commonly referred to as ”Ölands guldålder”. An increased population brought about an increase in land use which in turn b
The upcoming changes in the demographic structure will put pressure on the healthcare system in Skåne. Tax financed hospitals with more beds, doctors, nurses and other personnel will not be the solution to cope with the upcoming demands. Increasing healthcare productivity is one way, where digital healthcare is a potential part of the solution. One of the major limitations of the digital healthcar
Background Today’s diffusion of innovation theories are primarily based on the studies conducted up until 1991, which means that they have not taken the new Internet economies into consideration. When considering the enormous impact the Internet has had since its introduction, it stands to reason that there has also been an impact on how innovations diffuse in the marketplace. Problem definition A

Many scholars have since taken up where Penrose left and has further developed the approach to something that can now be described as almost a philosophy. Today is the resource based view synonymous with an internal fo
