Metals in a plastic matrix is expensive to analyze and often seen as a lesser environmental issue than asbestosis, phthalates or chloroparaphines. However, if it is possible to narrow down the metals required for the evaluation by telling by the color which metals should be analyzed, you can lower the pri

Den miljörättsliga regleringen av Senegal floden är mer fortskridande än internationell rätt. Med fortskridande menas i denna uppsats hur situationen är för medborgarna i aktuella vattendragsstater. Miljöskydd och den mänskliga rättigheten till vatten sammanstrålar på vissa punkter och hypotetiskt så kan de internationella miljörättsliga reglerna om förebyggande av förorening av sötvatten stärkThe environmental regulation of the Senegal River is more progressed than the international law stipulates.

By studying different types of ovens, both new and old I created a suggestion for an interface applicable to future ovens in the IKEA oven range. In order to create interactive appliances with the advanced technology existing today I believe we have to look back. The complex possibilities created by the availability of LED and touchscreens have made the daily cooking harder for “the many people”.
Äldre personer riskerar i större utsträckning än yngre att utveckla malnutrition. Malnutrition uppstår på grund av otillräckligt intag av näringsämne vilket i sin tur leder till obalans i kroppens fysiologiska processer. Bakomliggande sjukdomar, läkemedelsinteraktioner, åldrande i sig är orsaker som kan leda till malnutrition. Malnutrition medför fysiska, psykiska och sociala konsekvenser. Därför
In this work, an existing cooling tower, created for educational purposes, was modelled and simulated. The model was solved in Matlab using the built in function ode15 and it was eval-uated by implementing both absorption and process control. The implementations were per-formed in the simulation only. The model was deemed to be fit for the existing tower although there were unfortunately some unc
De senaste 30 åren har antalet människor i världen som lider av övervikt nästan fördubblats och idag är mer än 1.4 miljarder vuxna överviktiga.

Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva hur sjuksköterskan i omvårdnadsarbetet kan stödja vuxna med övervikt och fetma. Upps
Diskrimineringen på den svenska arbetsmarknaden är ett stort problem eftersom vissa grupper då stängs ute från arbetsmarknaden. Även om vi lever i ett heterogent samhälle idag i Sverige så tycks inte denna mångfaldsbefolknings resurser tillvaratas på ett rättvist sätt ute på arbetsmarknaden. Anställningstillfället då beslutet om anställning sker är centralt eftersom det då sker en social uppdelnin
Unsustainable consumption is today an acknowledged global problem which is set to only get worse unless major changes take place. Our society is based on a linear model where unlimited resources serve as fuel for increased consumption. Even though awareness among consumers is growing, there are still many consumers who are unaware of the effects of their consumption on the environment. However, th

Bakgrund och problem: E-handel uppstod i samband med utvecklingen av Internet och fenomenet är därför idag tillgängligt för de flesta människor i dagens uppkopplade och trådlösa samhälle. Idag finns det en del forskning om hur konsumenter tänker och resonerar när de e-handlar men det finns få studier som undersöker hur företagen agerar utifrån sina kunder. E-handelsföretag har inte chansen att fys
The media’s portrayal of the witness during court proceedings is putting the witness at risk for threats. This has led to the witness not wanting to testify, especially as the case concerns organized crime. It is an age old debate where intimidated witnesses are a concern for the legal system, and people’s human rights in general. The debate is complex as the use of anonymous witnesses goes agains

Principen om reklamidentifiering; att en annonsör tydligt måste ange att en annons är reklam, har funnits länge. Den är omhuldad både av medierna, näringslivet och allmänheten i stort. Ända fram till 1970-talet var det näringslivet som genom olika branschregler och privata instanser upprätthöll en viss standard för marknadsföringen. Brist på reklamidentifiering ansågs strida mot god marknadsföring
