Levnadsförhållandena är vanligtvis låga för människor som lever i flytande byar runt om i världen. Avsaknaden av adekvata avfallssystem i flytande byar försämrar både människors hälsa samtidigt som sjöar kontamineras. Detta examensarbete utvärderar hållbarheten av att implementera flytande bioreaktorer som avfallssystem för flytande byar i sjön Tonlé Sap, Kambodja. Det huvudsakliga syftet är att bConditions for humans living in floating villages around the world are usually in the lowest earning bracket. The lack of sanitary facilities pollutes lakes and deteriorates human health. This master thesis evaluates the environmental sustainability of implementing floating biodigesters as a sanitary solution in a village located on the lake Tonlé Sap in Cambodia. The main objectives include asses

The main purpose of this essay was to find whether there was a significant correlation between RCA in agricultural products and growth in GDP per capita, in the countries of Sub-Saharan Africa. I used a modified version of the Solow model to estimate the presumptive relationship, and to see whether there is any convergence in growth between the countries. Due to lack of reported numbers I did not

Problem discussion: The execution of the purchasing process of production process equipment at Höganäs Sweden AB is believed to have an improvement potential. Increasing its efficiency and securing the quality of the purchasing process is therefore of large interest from the company’s point of view. The process’ completing is highly dependent on the experience and knowledge possessed by the person

The aim of this study was to see how a group home for mentally ill people was portrayed in a local newspaper debate about building a new home for mentally ill people in residential area. The research material found in the daily newspaper Helsingborgs Dagblad was both articles and debates. We selected the articles and debates (posts) that could answer our questions. We used text analysis and were i

Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera verktyg för att arbeta med rytm inom gitarrundervisning. Min frågeställning är: Hur definieras och verbaliseras rytm och timing? Studiens syfte och dess huvudfråga har utmynnat i en underfråga som är: Vad påverkar utförandet av rytm i gitarrspel? Genom min frågeställning vill jag få kännedom om hur gitarrlärare och gitarrister arbetar med rytm på sitt insTitle: Guitar in time and rhythm. The purpose of this study is to identify tools for rhythm teaching in guitar education. My research question is: How is rhythm and timing defined and verbalized? The purpose of the study and the research question has resulted in a subquestion which is: What affects the practice of rhythm in guitar playing? Through my research question, I want to gain knowledge abo

Tvåornas kör är en verksamhet som Kulturskolan i Malmö driver sedan hösten 2011 och som riktar sig till alla elever i årskurs två i Malmö. Tvåornas kör handlar om att eleverna ska träna in ett antal sånger med rörelser i sina respektive klasser, för att sedan framföra dessa tillsam-mans vid en konsert i Malmö Folkets park. Målet med verksamheten är: att eleverna själva ska vara aktiva genom att fåThe Second grade choir – an analysis of a children's choir project in Malmö; social, pedagogic and musical experiences. Author: Joakim Klüft The Second grade choir is a project that is running since autumn 2011, at the culture school in Malmö. It is addressed towards all pupils in second grade of primary school in Malmö. The Second grade choir is about letting pupils practice and learn a numbe

Fuktdokumentationen för många moderna byggskivor är i nuläget bristfällig, vilket skapar svårigheter i projekteringen. Ett av problemen är skivor som utsatts för stora variationer av relativ fuktighet i dess omgivning. Fuktbetingade rörelser kan leda till problem, då materialet sväller och krymper i takt med att fuktinnehållet ändras. Sprickor i ytmaterialet och välvning i skivan, är exempel på nåMoisture documentation for many modern building boards are currently inadequate, which creates difficulties in planning constructions. One of the problems is when the board is being exposed to large variations of the relative humidity of its surroundings. Moisture movements could lead to problems if the material swells and shrinks as the moisture content changes. Cracks in the surface material and

Background: Supply chains become more and more complex. Mapping can be a good way to understand a company’s supply chain and its processes. IKEA’s Direct Delivery Customer (DDC) process has a rather unique characteristic at IKEA. By using a make-to-order strategy are sofas, sofa covers and custom made worktops delivered to customers’ home from the supplier. The material flow goes through IKEA’s Cu

Demography and security are two categories inextricably linked to each other in Israel. The fear of losing the Jewish majority has implications for the population politics, migration policies and above all, it affects the relationship with Palestine and the Arab minority within Israel’s borders. With the help of discourse analysis and a theoretical tool the aim is to frame intersecting oppressions

This paper will examine information structure used in Modern Hebrew, a Semitic language spoken in Israel. More specifically, the study will look into the methods used by Modern Hebrew native speakers to differentiate between old (active) information and new information in spontaneous speech. The study will offer new insights to different constructions of information structure, relating to active a

Investigating the role of miRNAs in Glucose-Stimulated Insulin Secretion MicroRNAs have emerged as important players in many aspects of fundamental biological processes including regulation of pancreatic β-cell functions. Failure in beta cell functions, specifically with regards to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS), contributes in the pathogenesis of type-2 diabetes (T2D). Previous stud

Molecular cluster is a nanoparticle that is defined as an agglomerate of few up to 106-7 of molecules (corresponding to 1- 100 nm in size) that can be manipulated by the cluster beams. Molecular cluster properties typically lie between the individual molecule and bulk matter properties. This work describes the employment of the Cold Aerodynamic Source (CAS) to produce a narrow, collimated and iso

The company QB Food Tech designs and installs powder in liquid mixing systems for the food and pharmaceutical industries. The aim of this master thesis is to develop a continuous blending system with concentration output feedback for inline blending of complex products starting from an existing batch process. A method for measuring a substance concentration in flow‐rates therefore needs to be esta

The objective for this master thesis has been to develop a mathematical model of the actuator parts of the fifth generation Haldex AWD system. The parts to be modeled are the DC-Machine and the pump. Also a model of the elasticity of the clutch has to be derived as well as a model for the hydraulic fluid. These models were then to be implemented in Matlab Simulink. The model was derived by means o

As fossil based fuels are ever more proving to be an unsustainable energy-resource, it is of critical importance to find a new way to deliver power to the worlds vehicles in order to anticipate an ever-growing population and sustain economic growth. The task is complicated but very achievable from a technological point of view. It is however greatly overshadowed in complexity when it comes to educ

The Division of Industrial Electrical Engineering and Automation, IEA, at LTH is participating in the research project DLAB, sponsored by E.ON. The goal of this project is to gain more understanding of the problems arising from increased cablification of Swedish medium voltage distribution grid and to develop an electric power laboratory. More and longer cables have increased the capacitive earth

Abstract: Avian long-distance migration as an adaptation to spatiotemporally changing resources is a complex evolutionary trait shaped by various endo- and exogenous factors. Descriptive studies of migratory journeys provide direct investigations of migratory parameters and these often set the basis for fun-damental follow-up studies on the eco-evolutionary principles. In this study, male Great
