Wine is an important cultural crop and is grown in vineyards that sometimes claim to have a unique "terroir" - a specific taste and character based on their physical attributes and location. Regulations and previously published work are not easily available, into how to measure and assess this terroir. It is important for countries such as Sweden to have a terroir assessment system, whic

Den ökande produktionsvolymen av engångsplaster har negativ påverkan på klimatet. De resulterande havsplastföroreningarna har omfattande konsekvenser för marint liv. Som ett resultat har Europaparlamentet infört ett förbud mot engångsplaster till år 2021, vilket gör att det av grundläggande betydelse att studera alternativa och hållbara material för engångsprodukter som sugrör. Tidigare forskning The increasing production of single-use plastics negatively affects the climate. The resulting plastic ocean debris has fatal consequences to marine life. As a result, the European Parliament has placed a ban on single-use plastics by 2021, making it essential to study sustainable materials for single-use products such as straws. Previous research has investigated how enzymes can be used to cataly

This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the construction of victimization in interrogations with the claimants in cases of cyberstalking. There has been a big evolvement in the field of technology and use of social media in the last decade, which has resulted in new ways of committing crimes. Stalking per se is an old phenomenon but the new possibilities that the development in technology brings leads t

3D-models of bone structures from computed tomography (CT) data can be used for surgical planning, education and a wide range of other purposes. They can also be used in both digital and 3D-printed format. The currently used process to obtain such models consists of a combination of thresholding, morphological operations and manual adjustments. This can be very time-consuming. Deep Learning (DL) c

Increasingly severe consequences of fossil fuel consumption have proliferated the exigency of an energy transition to zero and low-carbon electricity generation technology. Despite its relative reduction in market share in the United States, coal continues to play a role in future energy scenarios. This study examines the contiguous U.S. by combining historical data on coal-fired power plants with

The thesis examines what makes a cross-organizational collaboration between a multinational company and an NGO successful, by revieweing what factors play an important role in a project's life cycle, from a corporate perspective. The thesis is based on project management theories within the subjects of international business and cross-organizational teams. A qualitative research strategy with

Thesis Purpose: We aim to enhance the understanding of why Swedish consumers perform pro-environmental behaviors and how this can be influenced by managers and marketers in the shopping mall environment, making the mall more attractive and shoppers more loyal. Theoretical Perspective: We take on a sociological perspective by researching constructs based on identity theory, conspicuous consumption

This paper studies the determinants shaping the likelihood of being active in the non-farm sector in the rural economies of Sub-Saharan Africa. More specifically, the push, pull and capacity factors for a cross-sectional sample of rural Uganda and Ethiopia are explored. Using the newest nationally representative household surveys from 2015/16 for both countries, the determinants are examined for 2

Introduction: The knowledge of the diffusion coefficient of a solute in neat carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 mixed with organic solvents is of importance as it correlates to the efficiency of chromatography and extraction processes. Background: Several studies have been found in literature for diffusion coefficients measurements of different solutes in neat carbon dioxide, but to our knowledge rather

Dagens smartphones – inte så klimatsmarta I dagens slit-och-släng-samhälle köper folk de senaste modellerna bara för att vara trendiga, men lämnar sin gamla telefon i byrålådan. Vid tillverkning av mobiltelefoner krävs även många olika material och utvinning av dem bidrar till stor miljöpåverkan. Återvinningsföretaget Sysav står nu i ett vägskäl mellan hur de ska välja tjänstetelefoner till företThe cell phone industry is one of the most linear sectors, which means high resource consumption in the production of telephones and difficulties in repair. In addition, only 10-12% take-back of used units takes place, the rest are often forgotten in drawers or handled incorrectly. An interesting area of research is how companies can make their choices to reduce the life cycle environmental impact

Från och med 2022 ställer Boverket krav på att klimatpåverkan från nyproducerade byggnader ska redovisas uttryckt i kg koldioxidekvivalenter per kvadratmeter bruttoarea. Den s.k klimatdeklarationen utgår från livscyklisk metodik där produktskedet och byggproduktionsskedet omfattas. I klimatdeklarationen ska även periodiskt underhåll och livslängder för klimatskalet noteras. Många branschaktörer arAs of 2022, the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) is requiring that the climate impact from newly developed buildings has to be calculated and reported in terms of kg carbon dioxide equivalents per m² of gross area. The so-called climate declaration is based on life-cycle methodology and covers the product stage and the construction process stage. Periodic mainten

Denna studie ämnar undersöka studenters upplevelser av kommunikation under en Zoom-föreläsning. Under den globala pandemin under vintern 2020 valde många universitet att förflytta utbildningen till distans för att förhindra spridningen av viruset covid-19. Detta ökade användningen kraftigt av digitala kommunikationsverktyg, där Zoom kom att bli ett av de primära verktygen. Genom att undersöka kommThis report will present the results of a study which has the intention to investigate the experience of communication when using a digital communication tool. More specifically this report will analyse how university students feel about their experience with the digital communication tool called Zoom. During the global pandemic of the virus covid-19 in 2020, many universities decided to continue

This research aims to identify the role of the physical store within the high involvement products buying process in the context of an omnichannel customer journey. Furthermore, we aim to recreate an entirely new customer journey based on the importance of creating epic customer experiences, both in-store and online channels, by integrating an omnichannel strategy in the furniture industry.

Mikrobiologisk analys och riskbedömning av biogödsel som näringskälla i hydroponisk odling Jordens ökande befolkning kräver också en ökande produktion av livsmedel. Ett hållbart och innovativt sätt för ökad livsmedelsproduktion är att använda sig av hydroponisk odlingsteknik, där grödans rötter placeras direkt i en flytande näringslösning istället för jord, vilket kräver mindre yta och möjliggör The societal interest for a more sustainable and circular food production is increasing. Hydroponic farming is an alternative way of growing vegetables that can bring farming into urban environments, reducing long transports of food. In parallel, the focus in waste treatment is being more directed toward resource recovery. Food waste is used as a resource for biogas production, producing a liquid

Ett protein måste upprätthålla sin tredimensionella struktur för att bevara sin funktion. De flesta proteiner veckas inte spontant till sin fungerande konformation och med tiden veckas de ut. Därför behöver kroppens celler ett system som främjar korrekt veckning och ser till att de bevarar denna veckade form. Proteiner som har denna uppgift kallas chaperoner. Chaperoner binder till och veckar andrIn order to maintain proteins’ functionality their native folding state must be preserved. Chaperones fold other proteins and DNAJ-chaperones may collaborate with Hsc70 chaperones to prevent aggregation of aggregation-prone peptides such as polyQ and Aβ42, which form fibrils in currently incurable diseases as Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s, respectively. Fibril formation of polyQ and Aβ42 is detecte
