Batteries and renewable energy sources are key to the green energy transition and decarbonization. The EU has plans for green energy transitions and to mitigate climate change, but it is still largely dependent on imported fossil fuels. China dominates resources, materials and technologies for green energy transitions. With the recent energy crisis and Russian invasion of Ukraine, energy security

Prefabricerade planelement blev en viktig beståndsdel i bostadsbyggandet under 1900- talets bostadsbrist för att uppnå en ökad produktionstakt. Det industriella byggandet innebär tillverkning i en kontrollerad miljö, vilket ger en bättre kontroll över byggprocessen. För småhusindustrin utgör byggandet med prefabricerade planelement idag större delen av den svenska marknaden. Den slutna fabriksmilj
Kan potatisprotein öka intaget av kalcium i kroppen? Alla vet att vitaminer och mineraler är viktiga för att kroppen ska må bra och kunna fungera. En av dom är kalcium som har stor påverkan på vår hälsa. Kalciumbrist kan ha allvarliga konsekvenser för människors hälsa och det är viktigt att få i sig tillräckligt. Kalcium i mat kan skapa vissa komplikationer, speciellt i höga halter, och kan behövCalcium is essential for the human body as it has functions in the nervous system, bones and formation of teeth.

The study aims to understand the interplay between various factors and Brexit's role in shaping students' decisions. Initially, quantitative analysis of the 2017 CPC-ONS-UUK SoGIS survey dat
The aim of this master thesis project is the study and evaluation of the design of cavity beam position monitors (BPM) for the International Linear Collider (ILC) project. The state-of-the-art of BPMs is investigated to determine the most appropriate existing BPM design for the requirements of the ILC. The theoretical background on resonant cavities, including the beam coupling to the BPM, is exam
Pekskärmar är en typ av inmatningsenhet som möjliggör en interaktion mellan en användare och en elektronisk enhet. Interaktionen sker genom att låta användaren röra med en eller flera fingrar eller en stylus-penna på skärmen. Pekskärmar används idag till en rad olika elektroniska produkter som till exempel mobiltelefoner, surfplattor, datorer och även bankomater. På grund av sitt breda användningsTouchscreens are a type of input device that facilitate interaction between a user and an electronic device. This interaction is enabled by the user touching the screen with one or more fingers or a stylus pen. Today, touchscreens are implemented in a wide range of electronic products for example mobile phones, tablets, computers, and even ATMs. Due to their wide range of applications, touchscreen
While some individuals experience romantic relationships as overwhelming and intense, others experience their relationship as more secure and stable. Previous research has shown that individual differences in attachment account for various characteristics of romantic relationships. The present study (N = 280) investigates why romantic relationships are experienced differently, proposing infatuatio
The Covid-19 pandemic had a global effect on both the world as well as Swedish healthcare. For example, new guidelines for wearing protective equipment were required. However, the protective equipment created several barriers to communication. The purpose of this thesis is to understand healthcare counselors’ views on and experience of establishing relationships and how Covid-19, as well as how th
In recent years, the focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors has grown substantially from investors and the society overall. This successive switch to more sustainable practices has created a new interesting conversation regarding the impact of ESG on companies’ financial performances. This study will deep dive into this new problem statement, investigating the role of ESG both
The need for climate change adaptation is widely acknowledged and adaptation projects around the world are proliferating. Despite being one of the key actors for the implementation of adaptation projects, significant knowledge gaps persist regarding the potential maladaptive outcomes of such projects for international non-governmental organizations. This study analyses practitioners' perspecti
Instagram is a large social media platform with strong power dynamics between the company, influencers and the users. Exploring this power dynamic within a theoretical framework rooted in neo-medievalism, this study investigates how power structures are manifested and enacted on the platform. The central research question focuses on the exercise of power from both hierarchical positions: from abov
Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka huruvida en experimentell manipulation, innehållandes utdrag från media, påverkade skattning av skuldbeläggande av brottsoffer för våldtäkt (victim blaming). Vidare undersöktes om det fanns skillnad i skattning av skuldbeläggande av brottsoffer och sexism hos kvinnor samt män. Slutligen undersöktes sambandet mellan sexism och skuldbeläggning av brottsofThe aim of this study was to investigate whether an experimental manipulation, containing text from the media, affected the level of victim blaming of a victim of sexual assault. We also tested for gender differences in victim blaming. Finally, the relationship between sexism and victim blaming was examined in men. The design was cross-sectional, and participants (n = 331) were randomized to three
There is a growing number of wind turbines installed in cold temperature zones as a result of the restricted space for new construction. Due to ice deposition on the turbine blades, the increasing installation of wind turbines in freezing temperature areas presents many challenges: ice accumulation increases weight, unbalances the rotor, diminishes aerodynamic efficiency, and creates safety issues
Through ethnographic analysis, this thesis investigates the ways in which North American women seek and experience different modes of comfort through their clothing. The material is drawn from a market research study that employs qualitative methods with a spectrum of women across the United States and Canada. Framed by Bourdieu’s practice theory and Latour’s actor- network theory, the text proble

Vegetation in the subarctic is expected to respond to climate warming as its growth becomes less temperature limited. This has previously been recorded in the form of treeline advances and increasing shrub cover. Changes in vegetation cover may accelerate warming due to a decrease in summer albedo, in what is termed surface albedo feedback. A quantification of the relationship between vegetation c
