Rent dricksvatten är det viktigaste och mest grundläggande livsmedlet som finns. Detta livsmedel tas ofta för givet och många är omedvetna om att det inom vissa områden även i Sverige finns problem med att hitta bra vattenresurser för dricksvattenproduktion. Detta examensarbete utgör en kartläggning, beskrivning och analys av Kalmar läns regionalt viktiga vattenresurser. Arbetet är en fortsättningPure drinking water is our most important victual. It is commonly taken for granted and people often are unaware that, even in Sweden, there are problem areas where good water resources are rare. In this bachelor thesis, I map, describe and analyse the water resources of regional importance in Kalmar län. It is supposed to give an overview of the area conditions of generating drinking water, what

In May 2011 Tetra Pak launched the first carton bottle for aseptic milk, the Tetra Evero Aseptic (TEA). This Master Thesis aims to give proposals on how the future development of the mechanism working as a dolly when the inductor is making the longitudinal sealing (LS) on the package in the A6 filling machine, should be continued. The current LS mechanism is not fulfilling the requirements in func

This study aims to shine a light on the relation between Islam and human rights in general, and the relation between the Muslim Brotherhood political party in Egypt (FJP) and human rights in particular. The study uses theoretical discussions and insights in order to approach the subject in the best possible way and aims to point out valuable lessons that can be drawn, in order to make human rights

This study assesses the impacts of the floods in early 2011 in the Northern Cape Province in South Africa and focuses especially on the small town Keimoes located on the major Orange River. During this period 33 municipalities in 7 out of the country’s 8 provinces were declared as disaster areas due to widespread flooding. In Keimoes and the Northern Cape Province the flood impacts were widespread

Although the debate has become less heated in the post-Cold War period, no conclusive evidence has been reached regarding the economic impact of military spending. The aim of this paper is to investigate the existence and magnitude of budgetary trade-offs between military spending and human capital spending in the MENA (Middle East and North-Africa) region. It is striking that the guns versus butt

Jag har undervisat i slagverk i många olika sammanhang. Bland annat under min tid vid Musikhögskolan i Malmö men även innan. Detta har gjort att jag har träffat väldigt många olika slagverkselever vid många olika skolor. Det är dock eleverna från en skola som enligt min uppfattning står ut från de övriga när det kommer till elevernas motivation och egna drivkraft. Det här gjorde mig väldigt nyfikeI have worked as a percussion teacher in many different contexts during my time as a student at the Malmö Academy of Music but before that as well. Because of this I have had the privilege of meeting many different students at many different schools. It is however the students from one particular school that stood out from the rest when it comes to the students' motivation. This made me very c

Sweden is often perceived as a multicultural welfare state and “the Swedish model” has been role model for other countries to follow. Whilst cultural and religious pluralism have been celebrated, the potential areas of conflicts that can occur in a multicultural society have been neglected. This may be challenging as we are confronted with situations where intolerance is expected to be met with to

These theoretical reflections addresses the question of how networks can contribute to opportunity development among transnational entrepreneurs and an understanding of how transnational entrepreneurs come to be embedded in existing networks operating their home, host or even global market. Transnational entrepreneurs considered as immigrant entrepreneurs who conduct border-crossing business activ

This study seeks to demonstrate the relationship between the clothing industry and human rights. The company H&M is examined as an example to clarify this. More specifically the study strives to determine how and whether the clothing industry affects human rights as well as what kind of social commitments companies are facing today due to increasing demands from various stakeholders. The purpo

The purpose with this report is to find out whether it is a good idea or not to build a railway test center in Ankara, Turkey.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Nanotrådar- små, men med stora möjligheter Nanovetenskap anses ofta vara vägen till framtidens teknologi inom bland annat elektronik. Även om endast en liten del av fysikens alla aspekter är involverade inom området så finns det likväl en myriad av olika forskningsområden som alla kan klassas som nanoteknologi. Exempel på dessa är katalysatorer, kvantprickar menHighly structured polytypic InAs III-V semiconductor nanowires with an axial stacking of wurtzite (WZ) and zincblende (ZB) segments were studied using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S). The periodic changes in the axial direction of the crystal structure were achieved by precisely tuning the growth parameters, and no unwanted doping gradient was required. All low index facets

The primary concern of this study is to examine the factors behind the debate around the face veil in France. This raises two questions on how the arguments can legally be justified and which affect the law has in a multicultural society like France. This study represents an investigation into the problem of the ban on the face veil in France 2011, but also an attempt to test the logic of the argu

The aim of this essay is to acquire enhanced knowledge about the views and the strategies that Sikh immigrants of the first generation, who reside in the province of Skåne in Sweden, are using for becoming integrated into the Swedish society. From my own participation in some of the activities that have been organized by the Sikh community in Malmö I became interested in issues regarding integrati

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Guldklustrar- storleken har betydelse Utveckling och framsteg inom material- och ytfysik har blivit allt viktigare för det moderna samhället. Snabbare och mindre datorer, bättre och effektivare ljuskällor, renare men effektivare energiprodktion. Listan på applikationer är lång och kraven många och hårda. Således har det blivit allt viktigare att förstå materialThe chemical properties of 0.2-1 ML Au clusters have been studied using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). By exposing the clusters to CO, at 10^-7 mbar, in periods of two minutes, while systematically increasing the cluster size, a correlation between cluster size and CO adsorption was found. Furthermore, the most probable adsorption sites on the Au cluster were identified. The clusters were

The primary purpose to this study was to explore the role of local government in Sweden, primarily through the eyes of some of the people working within one. Consideration of some of the structural characteristics of local government in Sweden, in particular the privileges and responsibilities accorded to local municipalities there and in what context, lead the author to conclude that Swedish muni

In the west, out-innovating China has been a frequent proposal to deal with the feared threat posed by China’s rapid industrialization. However, China is not content with being only a manufacturing economy and has subsequently introduced multiple programs to foster research and development domestically. One of the most prominent sectors targeted by China’s programs and upheld by the west as their
