The objective of this report is to present a review of the studies which has been carried out up to days date concerning how temperature affects vegetables physiologically when it comes to their health inducing as well as quality reducing features. The essay therefore starts off with defining what is meant by the terms health promoting and quality reducing features. It then moves on to describe how different subspecies of Brassica oleracea, that is to say vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale, is affected by temperature. B. oleracea was chosen because the species contains several commercially interesting subspecies and therefore provides a broad field even though only one species is assessed.

Sammanfattning Uppsatsen behandlar motbilder i reklam, icke glorifierande reklam och dess uppkomst. För att belysa den icke glorifierande reklamen och dess bakgrund har vi valt att använda fyra olika modeföretag med starkt framträdande reklam. Företagen är Benetton, Diesel, H&M och Sisley och alla fyra har använt sig av uppmärksammad reklam som bryter mot den kutym som branschen normalt använder sig av. Uppsatsen vill undersöka vilken roll som reklamsprängning haft för utvecklingen av den icke glorifierande reklamen, som blivit allt vanligare. Vidare analyserar uppsatsen ett antal reklambilder från de fyra ovan nämnda fallföretagen inom modebranschen.

My aim with this study has been to examine how the fashion is a leading component in the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.I have studied the role fashion plays in the novel and in which way it can be seen as a way of letting the reader know the important role of fashion in 19tcentury England and the morals of Oscar Wilde.To prove my thesis I have used literature that shows how Oscar Wilde uses influences from his own life in his writing of The Picture of Dorian Gray. I have also used Judith Butler's theory of performativity in analyzing the characters in ordet to display their way of staging themselves and their lifestyles and their dependence of that performativity in their interactions. Even though the theory of performativity often is used to hold the importance of the sexes, I have concluded that it has an important role in the novel when Dorian Gray interacts with the character Sibyl Vane who is an actress. My results have shown that fashion in the novel is often a way of letting the reader know important elements of a character in the way that certain fabrics and items are mentioned when Wilde writes about his characters. I have also found that fashion is an important factor when the characters judge each when they speak about the way they dress.

Through load measurements the potential for energy savings was determined.The results show that there is a great potential for energy savings during idle times at the site.

The accounting of today results in reports that are valued according to one kind of value.There are advocates who recommend that the accounting should be expanded by one orseveral columns, which would enable that other methods of valuation could be used.
