In recent decades problem of using the finite resource, fossil fuels, as an energy source have caught more and more public attention. The usage of it produces side-products which in long term harms our environment. To combat the usage of such destructive resources, a more sustainable way of creation of energy needs to be implemented, to which scientist have set their eyes on solar cells. Currently

Along with escalating climate change impacts, aggravated hunger and malnutrition, and widening socioeconomic disparities, recent decades have also seen increased casualties during intrastate conflicts. The aim of this thesis is accordingly to investigate the interactions among climate vulnerability, food insecurity, and socioeconomic inequality and their effects on conflict intensity. The research

Forskning har funnit att psykiatripatienter med självskadebeteende har en lägre förmåga att ta hand om sig själva. Självomhändertagande i en klinisk kontext är ett relativt nytt och obeforskat ämne. Tidigare studier har inte undersökt hur personer som självskadar upplever självomhändertagande. Med syftet att undersöka hur personer med självskadebeteende som får specialistpsykiatrisk vård upplever Research has found that psychiatric patients with deliberate self-harm are less able to self-care. Self-care in a clinical context is a relatively new and under-researched topic. Previous studies have not explored how people who self-injure experience self-care. In order to investigate how people who self-injure and receive specialist psychiatric care experience self-care, and what it means for th

This thesis aims to explain the return of so-called sin stocks, which include businesses operating in the alcohol, tobacco, gambling, weapon, and oil & gas industries. Due to their negative public perception, these stocks are anticipated to yield a sin premium. This study analyses the potential variation of sin premiums across three different markets, specifically the US, European, and Asia-Pa

Akut myeloisk leukemi (AML) är en heterogen sjukdom, vilket gör den svår att behandla. Standardbehandlingen är intensiv kemoterapi och har inte förändrats på 40 år. På senare tid har nya läkemedel och mindre intensiva behandlingsregimer godkänts i USA och Europa. Fler möjliga behandlingsformer gör att det krävs prediktiva biomarkörer och tillförlitliga utvärderingsmetoder för att hitta den optimalAcute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease, making it difficult to treat. The standard treatment is intensive chemotherapy and has not changed in 40 years. However, recently new drugs and as less intensive treatment regimens have been approved in the US and in Europe. However. With a larger therapeutic toolbox, there is an urgent need for predictive biomarkers to offer the optimal tre

Utvärdering av ett solvärmefält i Sverige Med de aktuella klimatförändringarna blir det alltmer angeläget att granska alternativa energikällor. Det finns potential för solvärme, men marknaden kan behöva stöd i form av ordentliga standardiseringar, reglemente och ekonomiskt. I Sverige har Energimyndigheten satsat åtta miljoner kronor på ett demonstrationsprojekt för storskalig solvärme till fjärrvGiven the urgency of climate change, alternative energy sources, and policy strategies are needed to reach the net-zero emission goals and halt global warming. Solar thermal energy is a renewable and abundant energy source that could be a part of the solution. In this master’s thesis, the performance of a pilot solar thermal park in northern Sweden was modeled and evaluated based on an internation

This master's thesis investigated the potential of algae raw materials, specifically k-carrageenan and to a lesser extent alginate, as film-forming ingredients for the development of a novel edible packaging solutions. The project involved the testing and characterisation of several active ingredients of algal and plant origins both as extracts and as ingredients in films. The effect of these

Följande uppsats undersöker det komplexa förhållandet mellan den svenska allmänhetens förtroende för Säkerhetspolisen och myndighetens mycket hemliga arbete. Med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer syftar uppsatsen till att besvara frågor om hur svenskarnas förtroende för Säkerhetspolisen kan förstås och vilken roll sekretessen spelar för deras förtroende. Vidare, med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning

The development of the new green industries based on standards creates legal issues of the collision between patent law and standardisation processes. Whereas some solutions have already been implemented in the industries like telecommunications, it is of an interest to research on whether these solutions might be used when managing intellectual property rights in the green technologies or there w

This study aimed to investigate how two Spanish newspapers, El País, and El Español, portrayed human trafficking for sexual purposes, prostitution, and the central actors. To gain insight and a better understanding of this, eleven news articles from each daily press that were published between the years 2021 and 2023, have been analyzed. The focus has been on both the manifest and latent messages

This thesis explores the integration of hydrogen and battery energy storage systems as a means to enhance the management of wind and solar power in the pursuit of a greener grid.
