In the coming renewables-based energy transition, global electricity consumption is expected to double by 2050, entailing widespread end-use electrification, with significant impacts on energy efficiency. We develop a long-run, worldwide societal exergy analysis focused on electricity. Our 1900–2017 electricity world database contains the energy carriers used in electricity production, final end-u

We have developed a microfluidic chip for isolation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in blood based on microchannel acoustophoresis. Ultrasound radiation forces are used to separate cancer cells from blood cells in a continuous flow format. Separation was dramatically improved after incorporation of a 2-dimensional acoustic pre-alignment of the cells before entering the acoustophoresis separation

To date, most studies on coupled-water-and-heat processes in frozen soils haves focused on the mechanism of changes in frozen soil and the contribution of climate change, hydrological processes, and ecosystems in cold regions. Several studies have demonstrated considerable improvements in the accuracy of simulating water and heat transfer processes in cold regions. However, substantial differences

This article discusses the issue of the right to health care for irregularised migrants in Sweden, from a human rights perspective. An extended right to health care for irregularised migrants came into effect through a legislative amendment in 2013. By exploring the legislative process before the new Act on Health Care to Some Foreigners Who Reside In Sweden Without the Necessary Permits in 2013,

The thesis aims to generate hypotheses about the power structures within the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. A comparison of the governing of Indigenous Peoples from the Global North and Global South respectively, is made. Firstly, the representatives in the Forum are counted. In a second step, a discourse analysis is conducted. Results show that the Global North have proportionally more

Climate change is a global issue and a serious threat to the world we live in. The consequences of climate change are devastating. Despite the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, studies have shown that politicians and voters of far-right parties are particularly likely to dismiss climate change. People who in various ways go against the research and large amounts of scientific ev

Through an idea analysis, arguments for and against two different policy changes regulating foreign labor in the Premier League will be dissected in order to reveal the nationalist and liberal qualities within them. Arguments made by the Remain and Leave-campaigns during the 2016 Brexit debate, prior to the referendum are also reviewed. The analysis of the empirical material revealed that the two

Frågan om europeisk integration förväntas vara en ideologisk sådan. Trots det ger europeiska partier från samma partifamilj olika svar på denna fråga. Detta föranleder ett antagande om att andra faktorer, bortom de ideologiska, påverkar partier i deras ställningstaganden i frågan. Vår uppsats undersöker tre europeiska socialdemokratiska partier för att nå en bättre förståelse av deras skilda uppfa

Though customer engagement (CE) and customer experience (CX) are recognized as key research priorities, empirically derived insight into their association with tourism customers’ ensuing value cocreation and destination revisit intent remains tenuous, in particular for first-time versus repeat customers. In response to this gap, we develop an S-D logic–informed model that tests the effects of tour

Rapporten ger en översyn kring forskning gällande olika sätt att förstå och omprioritera existerande gatuutrymme.

The COVID-19 pandemic, the surge of populism, the climate crisis and many other destabilizing factors in our time, all point at the expectation of trustworthy knowledge and reliable organization devoted to knowledge production and dissemination. However, universities remain enmeshed in economic liberalization and ensuing cultural struggles where their funding, governance and practices reflect mark

Emerging markets are a major contributor to global GDP, thus offering a primary source for economic growth. However, despite these acclaimed benefits, little remains known regarding customer engagement (i.e., a customer’s resource investment in his/her brand interactions) in emerging markets, thus exposing a pertinent literature-based gap. The development of enhanced insight into customer engageme

The thesis focuses on both developing an architectural design as proposal for new premises for Malmö Konstmuseum as well as investigating specific topics in architecture. The project is a typological study of form, space and order with a focus on structuralism and deals with man’s relationship to its spatial environment. The project starts with a literature study serving as a basis. It continues b

China’s influence in extractive industry sectors worldwide has expanded in tandem with the rising global demand for the natural resources integral to producing such low carbon products as electric vehicles. Many Chinese-operated mining projects overseas have hence generated broad concern on the ground about their negative environmental and social impacts. Chinese actors, meanwhile, have begun to e

One of the consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Western sanctions that followed has been deteriorating economic situation in Kaliningrad Oblast. The Russian semi-exclave on the Baltic, already affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and travel restrictions, has suffered from disrupted supply deliveries, closure of externalmarkets and peaking transportation costs.Despite statements made b
