Effekten av temperatur på kaseinmicellstruktur i kaseinmicellkoncentrat. Anders Lindqvist: 2015 Med mål om att optimera produktionen av koncentrerade mjölkproteinlösningar och att få bättre kunskap om mjölkproteinet, kasein, och hur det påverkas av temperaturförändringar studerades förändringarna av koncentrerad mjölkproteinlösning efter att ha blivit utsatt för olika temperaturer. De förändrinThe viscosity of concentrated casein solutions play a vital part in the product quality of medical nutrition as well as for the energy consumption in spray drying. Previous work has shown that a lower viscosity can be achieved through processing (Hemar et al. 2011). This project focused on the effect on temperatures on micellar casein isolate (MCI). A temperature range of 5-90 °C has been studied

This essay estimates the trends in Income-Related Health Inequalities (IRHI) in 11 European countries between 2006 to 2013 and investigates the sensitivity of these trends with respect to different inequality measures. The motivation for this study is both empirically and theoretically driven. Empirically, there have been many studies aiming to quantify and explain IRHI but relatively few have inv

Med direktiv 2008/52 EG avser kommissionen främja uppgörelser om tvister i godo, särskilt genom medling. Direktivet kräver att medlemsstaterna ger domstolarna befogenhet att föreslå parterna i målet att denna metod används, dock utan att tvinga dem att använda den. I Sverige har detta direktiv implementerats genom Lag (2011:860) om medling i vissa privaträttsliga tvister.

Research on financial crises is important and especially relevant nowadays when the economy is slowing down globally. The crisis 2007-8 and the Great Depression of the 20th century are the longest and most severe financial calamities ever experienced and they share some eerie similarities with the Panic of 1857 – they all originate in the US but have international implications because they take pl

Den termiska klimatupplevelsen påverkas mest av lufttemperaturen som är enkel att mäta med en vanlig termometer, men för att ta reda på hur temperaturen i ett rum upplevs räcker det inte med att enbart undersöka lufttemperaturen. Även om lufttemperaturen ligger på en komfortabel nivå så kan en kall yta i närheten få personen att känna att det är kyligt i rummet och på motsvarande sätt kan varma ytThe thermal climate experience is most affected by air temperature that is easy to measure with a standard thermometer, but to find out how the temperature in a room is felt it is not enough to merely examine the air temperature. Even if the air temperature is at a comforta-ble level, then a cold surface near get the person to feel that it is chilly in the room and cor-respondingly the hot surface

Hydrauliska parametrar är viktiga att kunna mäta i samband med stadsplanering, prospektering och för att få fram information om hur en möjlig föroreningstransport genom jordlager och berggrund skulle kunna ske. Slugtest är ett enkelt akvifertest som tar fram värden på formationens genomsläpplighet och har flera fördelar jämfört med andra akvifertester. I denna studie berörs grundvattenrör med liteHydraulic analysis plays a crucial role in urban planning, prospecting and environmetal assess-ments. Slug test is an aquifer test often used by hydrogeologist and engineers to determine the hydraulic conduct-ivity. In this bachelor thesis I discuss aquifers with small diameter piezometers where some of the them are screened across the water table. The essay is conducted in cooperation with the su

After the breakup of the Soviet Union Estonian economy found itself cut off from its main markets and production links. One major barrier in the economic transformation and diversification process that followed was the lack of necessary tacit productive knowledge in the country. Furthermore, local firms had no or only weak links to the global production and knowledge networks that function as impo

The objective of this study is to analyse the possible relationship between competition and innovation using Statitics Sweden Community Innovation Survey 2012. The dependent variable innovation is measured in terms of expenditure on R&D and obtained numbers of patents. The independent variable competition is measured in terms of a Herfindahl-Hirschman index and two Lerner-index, one at industr

År 2005 började europeisk industri- och energiproduktion handla med utsläppsrätter i handelssystemet EU ETS. Tanken är att marknaden kommer minska koldioxidutsläppen där priset för utsläppsminskningar är lägst, och den Europeiska kommissionen beskriver EU ETS som ett nyskapande och kostnadseffektivt styrmedel. Men flera företag i mineralbranschen upplever utsläppshandeln som krångligt och orättvisThe European Union Emissions Trade System (EU ETS) is the central climate political tool for reduction of carbon dioxide emissions within the union, and is still the largest emissions trading system in the world ten years after the launch in 2005. One of the industry branches included in the system is the mineral branch: the production of cement, lime, glass, ceramics and mineral wool. These indus

The European Court of Justice has repeatedly held that it is contrary to EU-law to charge withholding tax on cross-border dividend payments when comparable, domestic transactions are not taxed at the corresponding burden. Therefore, the question of withholding taxes compatibility with EU-law has been the topic of extensive legal literature over many years. However it seems that this is a non-stopp

Mänskliga rättigheter och internationell humanitär rätt har traditionellt betraktats som två skilda rättsområden. i dag är mänskliga rättigheter emellertid universellt tillämpliga, även under väpnade konflikter. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning Europadomstolen tillämpat eller tagit hänsyn till internationell humanitär rätt i sina domar. Vad som visas är att EuropadInternational human rights law and international humanitarian law are traditionally two distinct branches of law, one dealing with the protection of individuals, the other with the conduct of parties to an armed conflict. There is today a recognition that international human rights law is applicable in situations of armed conflict, in parallel with international humanitarian law. The aim of this M

The research questions dealt with investigating how the interviewees had experienced peer support, what mechanisms in this method could be considered effective and how these mechanisms

Sedan det europeiska projektets tidiga dagar har de underliggande ekonomiska motiven för integrationen konfronterats med allmänna intressen såsom oro för miljön. Denna spänning har varit påtaglig, i synnerhet förhållandet mellan nationella åtgärder som syftar till att skydda miljön och allmänna bestämmelser som reglerar EU:s inre marknad. Med tiden har miljöskydd och hållbar utveckling blivit inteSince the early days of the European project the economic rationale of integration has been confronted by public interests such as concerns for the environment. This tension has been tangible particularly in the relationship between national measures aimed at protecting the environment and the general rules governing the internal market. Over time environmental protection and sustainability have b
