Hydropower is simply the largest source of renewable energy in the Nordic countries, where It compose around 90% of power production in Iceland, 70% in Norway, 40% in Sweden and 20% in Finland. Mountainous terrain and abundance in the surface water is a significant contributing factor in hydropower production. Hydropower is also considered more reliable and continuous than other forms of renewable
Inkommande avloppsvatten till ett reningsverk består till största delen av organiskt material som i sin tur kan utgöra en viktig resurskälla för reningsverket. Genom att utnyttja kolet i avloppsvattnet för produktion av metan kan ett reningsverk bli självförsörjande på energi. En nackdel kan dock vara att det lättnedbrytbara organiska materialet, som viktiga reningsprocesser såsom denitrifikation
This paper is initiated to analyze the trade related human rights diplomacy of the European Union (EU) and the United States (US) in Cambodia. In doing so, the thesis is conducted to provide definition and tools of the human right diplomacy that have been utilized by State and Non-State actors at all level. The thesis also examines the human rights situations in Cambodia with the focus on labour r
One of the biggest mysteries astronomers wish to unveil is the formation and evolution of galaxies. Properties of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, can provide great insight into these. The star formation rate (SFR) and whether it varies with distance from the galactic centre (GC), is one of these properties. Studies indicate that the SFR is higher in the bulge region than in the local thick disk of
Resultatet av #metoo-uppropen visar att sexuella trakasserier och sexuellt våld är ett omfattande samhällsproblem, som drabbar kvinnor i högre utsträckning än män. Den här studien går baserat på det ut på att kartlägga attitydskillnader mellan män och kvinnor, relaterat till sexuellt våld och sexuella trakasserier. Studien redogör för troliga bakomliggande orsaker till könsrelaterat våld och under
Problem/Bakgrund ME/CFS har fått medial uppmärksamhet på senare år. Bland annat har olika dödsfall och självmord som relateras till ME/CFS uppmärksammats. Även ME/CFS drabbades sociala och ekonomiska situation har uppmärksammats, och av vissa beskrivits som en orsak till dödsfallen och självmorden. Mot bakgrund av att ME/CFS är ett aktuellt samhällsfenomen med stora konsekvenser för de drabbade, m
Mycoplasma bovis (M. bovis) infections are difficult to diagnose and treat, causing severe economic losses to farms with infected cows. Eurofins Milk Testing Sweden AB screens cow’s milk using qPCR (quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction) to detect M. bovis infections. Five performance characteristics were chosen to evaluate if ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) could replace the current sc
Drained organic soils are a big source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Many of these soils have, historically, been drained to increase the share of agricultural land. In Sweden, they emit around 3.4 million tonnes CO2 and 0.9 million tonnes CO2eq of N2O per year. This thesis was written on request of City of Lund, to gain a better understanding of the contribution of cultivated organic soils t
The study analyses postfeminism in an organisational context from a critical feminist perspective by exploring the contemporary perceptions of gender and gender equality in a female student career network. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate how these perceptions are projected and how they relate to organisational values, principles and processes of the organisation. Hence, How does postfem
Environmental damage during armed conflicts can create significant risks to the civilian population. It is associated with acute and long-term threats to public health and livelihoods, limited access to such resources as water. On top of direct impact (e.g. physical destruction), secondary impact (e.g. resulting from coping strategies of populations), armed conflicts also weaken environmental gove
Denna uppsats grundar sig på en översättning av tre noveller ur den spanska författaren Lucas Ruiz’ novellsamling El esquiador de fondo (2014). Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera översättningen och bruket av tempus i källtexten. Först i uppsatsen görs en analys av källtexten med hjälp av Hellspong & Ledin (1997). Utmärkande drag för texterna tas upp, bland annat det poetiska språket, meningsbyg
Validation and improvement of chemical kinetic modelling require accurate experimental data. The over goal of the present work is to obtain accurate data by using techniques that have been previously implemented in common flames, e.g. of methane, and showed good performance to provide high-value input for model validation of dimethyl ether (DME) combustion. Measurements of laminar burning velocity
The retail industry is in an ongoing transformation with new customer behaviors. In an omni-channel environment, multiple channels are integrated and the customer has a more central role within retail. Customers in an omnichannel environment are in general well-informed, digitally mature and have high demands towards the retailers they interact with. Traditionally, retailers could differentiate th
Studien syftade till att undersöka psykoanalys betraktat som emotionellt arbete i enlighet med Hochschild (1983). Inom såväl psykologin som sociologin har förekomsten och effekterna av emotionellt arbete för många yrkesgrupper studerats. Mycket lite har publicerats om emotionellt arbete i psykoterapi. Semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med sex psykoanalytiker. Det empiriska materThis study aimed at investigating psychoanalysis regarded as emotional labor following Hochschild (1983). The prevalence and effects of emotional labor has been studied in sociology as well as psychology in relation to many occupations. Not much has been published concerning emotional labor in psychotherapy. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with six psychoanalysts. The empiric
The Crime Victim Compensation and Support Authority follows and implements the Criminal Injuries Compensation Act with the purpose to offer support and help to individuals whom have suffered from crimes. However, the question regarding victim compensation and its purpose have been discussed frequently by the Swedish government as well as researchers who primarily discussed how to decide the correc
Syftet med denna studie är att klargöra vad som försvårar svensklärares bedömning av multimodala texter eftersom bristfällig bedömning hämmar elevernas möjligheter att utveckla sin digitala kompetens och exkluderar elevernas textvärldar. För att undersöka lärarnas bedömningssvårigheter intervjuade vi sex svensklärare på gymnasienivå angående deras bedömningsstrategier. Intervjun avhandlade multi
The Arctic is warming at a rate two to three times that of the global average. Although only covering a small area of the globe, it is a vital component of the climate system. Through climatic feedback effects the warming is enhanced, and risks leading to further climate change. Simulations of future Arctic change indicate that the region will warm 3-4°C above end of 20th century levels by 2050. C
Numerous studies have discussed the importance of multilevel governance for enhancing climate action at the urban level. However, there remains limited knowledge on the proliferation of multilevel climate governance in the Global South. Addressing this gap, this study aims to explore the implementation of multilevel climate governance at the urban level through a case study analysis of three India
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is twofold. With a stakeholder perspective, the paper has the ambition of understanding why firms decide to invest in ethics. In this sense, we look at such investments both through the lens of mitigating downside risks as well as the lens of creating competitive advantage and shared value. In the light of ethical investments, the paper also has the purpose of e
