Molnens roll i klimatsystemet har studerats och deras påverkan på solens inverkan på jordens energibalans. Jordens albedo påverkar energibalansen genom att den påverkar hur mycket av solens instrålning som reflekteras eller absorberas. Moln påverkar jordens albedo och spelar därför en viktig roll i denna balans. Molnbildning sker till nära 100% i troposfären och där finns allt det vi kallar väder.The role of clouds in the climate system has been studied and their impact on the Sun's impact on the Earth's energy balance. The Earth's albedo affects the energy balance by influencing how much of the Sun’s radiation is reflected or absorbed. Clouds affect the Earth's albedo and therefore play an important role in this balance. Cloud formation occurs almost 100% in the tropospher

Lithium-ion batteries (LiB) are witnessing an increasing demand for electric vehicles. It provides a sustainable energy storage solution that is more efficient and ecofriendly than the fossil fuels. However, LiB are prone to ageing, which changes the dynamics of the electrochemical reactions over time and usage, and consequently affects its life and performance.. Ageing can manifest through multip

Gender role conflict (GRC) was originally developed to evaluate men’s health in relation to perceived “masculinity”. In previous studies, GRC has been associated with poor mental health and low help-seeking behavior in men. In this study, we expanded on previous research and were able to demonstrate that also women and genderqueer individuals can display GRC. An aim was also to investigate any po

Catastrophe (CAT) bonds bring the needs of (re)insurance companies and investors together: They insure against natural disasters by transferring risk to the capital market while at the same time promising high returns and a certain detachment from financial markets. Being an alternative investment class that has been on the rise only in recent years, academic research on CAT bonds is comparatively

With the rise in urbanization and cities fulfilling sustainability challenges, companies across the globe are moving towards circularity. One approach adopted towards circularity is of reverse logistics where companies take back EOL/EOU products. In the furniture industry, this approach towards circularity is coupled with consumers being asked to transport the EOL/EOU furniture to second-hand/ret

Om en part har tillräckligt starka misstankar om att motparten inte kommer att fullfölja sina avtalsförpliktelser och begå ett avtalsbrott vill den drabbade parten naturligtvis skydda sig från att drabbas av brottet. Den drabbade parten kan skydda sig mot ett s.k. befarat avtalsbrott genom att utöva stoppningsrätten eller hävningsrätten. Stoppningsrätten regleras i 61 § KöpL och innebär att den drIf a party suspects the other party will not fulfill a substantial part of his obligations according to the contract this would mean that they are breaching the terms of their contract. This means that the affected party can protect itself against a breach of contract, “anticipatory breach”, under contractual law by exercising the rights of suspension or cancellation (stoppningsrätten or hävningsr

Although most individuals consider gambling to be an innocent and fun activity, when it develops into problem gambling (PG), it can have detrimental outcomes to one’s life, such as over-indebtedness. This study explores the role of maladaptive personality traits and gender in both PG and over-indebtedness, in an online sample of 1479 adult gamblers in Sweden. Participants were administered the Pro

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) pose severe threats to global health. The microbial profile of the respiratory tract largely impacts their ecological niche. Epidemiological studies indicate that nasopharyngeal colonization of commensals like Corynebacterium spp is associated with reduced rates of RTIs, but the underlying mechanisms are undefined. Besides, most pathogens like Streptococcus pneu

The goal of this thesis was to, from several randomly selected patients with diagnosed malignant and benign tumors, record optimal lambdas and respective Renyi entropies for each lambda, run a basic statistical analysis of the results and see if there is any significant difference between lambdas/Renyi entropies of malignant and benign lesions.\\ The results showed no significant difference.\\ The

This method showed its supremacy over conventional anonymization techniques and other machine learning techniques. It mi

Privata sjukvårdsförsäkringar har ökat de senaste åren i Sverige. Detta trots att Sverige har en offentlig vård som ska ge en vård på lika villkor för hela befolkningen. Vilka faktorer kan påverkar en sådan ökningen av privata sjukvårdsförsäkringar och eventuella underliggande anledningen finns det till att anskaffa en sådan försäkring. Studien syftar till att diskutera motiven till detta köp med

Differentiated instruction is a widely known approach used in different educational settings, especially in diverse classrooms. Teachers are expected to be able to meet the need of all learners and differentiate instructional parameters such as content, process and product accordingly. While previous research has shown that a successful implementation of the concept is beneficial for the students,

Buildings are a are a major consumer of energy in urban areas. The use of solar energy in buildings can help reduce CO2 emitting energy consumption in these urban areas. One way to use solar energy is through passive solar energy systems. Passive solar energy systems allow a building to use daylight as an energy source. The use of daylight as passive solar energy in Sweden could reduce the energy

Due to the serious problem of greenhouse gas emissions in our atmosphere driving global warming, the need for sustainable initiatives has become an imperative for companies which leads to the necessity of operating sustainably. However, to avoid taking a weak approach to sustainability, it is imperative for companies to carry out a transition involving all three dimensions (environmental, economic

Idag präglas världen av teknikutvecklingen som både anses vara en fördel och en nackdel. För den kriminella världen och organiserade ekonomiska brottsligheten är digitaliseringen en fördel. Moderna tekniska lösningar gör det enklare för gärningsmännen att begå brott, såsom penningtvätt vilket regleras i penningtvättslagen (2017:630). Penningtvättsbrott förekommer både nationellt som internationellToday, the world is characterized by technological development that could be considered both as an advantage and a disadvantage. For the criminal world and organized economic crime, digitalization is seen as an advantage. The modern technical solutions make it easier for the perpetrators to commit crimes, such as money laundering which is regulated in the Money Laundering Act (2017:630). Money lau

Detta gjordes genom att intervjua nio enskilda rekryterare inom, främst, konsult- och bemanningsbranschen. Genom intervjuerna fick jag ta del av deras rekryteringsprocesser och hur de arbetar med diskriminering Intervjuerna har analyserat genom en tolknin

Begreppet lojalitetsplikt har sitt ursprung i den romerska rätten och har sedan dess spridits till stora delar av västvärlden. Lojalitetsplikten brukar definieras som en plikt att iaktta, eller att tillvarata, motpartens intressen. Lojalitetsplikten gäller som en allmän rättsprincip även om dess betydelse i avtalsförhållanden länge var ifrågasatt. Under senare tid har debatten om vad den innebär fThe contractual principle of loyalty origins from Roman law and has since then spread to most parts of the western world. The general definition of the principle is that a party has a duty to consider the interests of the counterpart. Nowadays the principle of loyalty has become a general principle of law, even if its status in contractual relations was questioned for a long period of time. It ha
