Där uppe finns de. Stjärnorna som om natten pryder himlavalvet är fängslande i deras mängd och mångfald. Om du befinner dig långt bort från städernas ljus så kan du se nattens sanna skönhet, och om du tittar riktigt noga kan du börja uppskatta att alla stjärnor inte är likformiga vita prickar. Vissa är ljusstarkare, vissa är ljussvagare. Vissa är rödare än andra och vissa ser blåare ut. För astronThe observed upper limit of the luminosity of red supergiants, often called the Humphreys-Davidson limit, has recently been shown to be independent of metallicity and to not be explainable by single star evolution – findings that both contradict established ideas of the origins of the limit. It is now known that the vast majority of stars with sufficient mass to possibly evolve into red supergiant

Under de senaste åren har kontorsmarknaden varit under förändring, framför allt som en effekt av Covid-19-pandemin och teknisk innovation. Detta har påverkat hur kontorslokaler används och inneburit ett ökat utbud av fastighetsprodukter. Ett av de beslut som organisationer behöver ta är om de ska äga eller hyra sina lokaler, vilket är ett beslut styrt av flera parametrar. Det rätta beslutet för enIn recent years, the office market has been changing, mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic and technological innovation.

Att öka tillgängligheten av läkemedel är en viktig del i att minska lidandet för miljontals personer världen över. Om detta kan göras genom att korta utvecklingsprocessen för generiska läkemedel undersöks i detta examensarbete. På apoteket är en vanlig fråga om man vill ha ett liknande läkemedel till det man egentligen hade tänkt köpa, ofta till ett billigare pris. Läkemedelsutveckling är en lånThe development of generic pharmaceuticals includes extensive data on equivalence with the reference listed drug is required by the European medicinal agency (EMA) and the North American equivalent. Equivalence must be proven for rheology, microstructure, and performance. This is a costly and time-consuming process. To reduce the costs, it is of interest to investigate if the release profile (perf

Förbättring av bildkvalité med hjälp av kristaller! Alla som någon gång har försökt att ta en bild vet den stora vikten av att ha bra fokus i bilden och hur störigt det är när man inte får till bra bildkvalité. Dagens kameror har blivit känsligare och det är idag viktigare än någonsin att alla komponenter i kameran finns på rätt plats. Bara några mikrometers skillnad på placeringen av bildsensornThe use of piezoelectric crystals as a way to achieve automatic alignment of an image sensor in a camera was investigated in collaboration with Axis Communications AB. Piezoelectric crystals can be created into different configurations, piezoelectric stacks being one of the simpler ones. By attaching three piezoelectric stacks behind an image sensor and applying voltage to the stacks, they expand

The aim of the project is to develop a framework for an insurance policy for digital assets. The project comprised several stages, starting with the identification of risks associated with these assets. Policyholders were then categorized into two groups based on a predefined rating factor. Subsequently, data about previous thefts was gathered, two different approaches were explored. In the first

In 2016 a historic peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army (FARC) was signed, putting an end to a conflict that lasted over 50 years. This agreement was the world’s very first gender-inclusive peace accord, meaning that they included women in the peace process and recognized how they are particularly subjected to war and confl

Agriculture in India is characterised by low productivity, and structural change has been slow and unconventional. Nevertheless, at state-level one can identify different patterns for these process. The attempt in this work has been to understand the linkages between farm mechanisation, agricultural productivity and structural change at the state-level during the post-reform period. The aim was to

The war in Ukraine in 2022 has caused environmental damages on different scales which come with their own challenges. One of the factors that can cause environmental damage is vegetation fire. As earlier studies have concluded, in conflict regions the amount of vegetation fires can increase due to (forced) migration, change in agriculture and warfare tactics. Not only conflict can change fire occu

Today, a greater proportion of the population prefers a plant-based diet. Due to this reason, there is an increase in the production of side streams from the food industry, which are often discarded or used as food for animals. Tempeh is a plant-based product fermented with R. oligosporus that is commonly made from soybeans from Indonesia. In this thesis, side streams from food production which ar

Lactic acid fermentation has been a widely used process for many years, offering nutritional and sensory benefits to plant proteins. In this study, the objective was to produce a fermented pea powder with enhanced sensory properties by combining previous research from FrieslandCampina. A screening was performed on a set of cultures obtained from a contract research organization (CRO), starter Cult

Due to the upsurge of interest in the field of sustainability, and specifically circular economy, it is of increasing importance for companies to dedicate themselves to greener business models and initiatives that step away from the linearity that is currently predominant. One way in which circularity can be implemented is through effective communication towards customers to incorporate them into

Företagsnytta är en del av influensregeln i 4 kap. 2 § expropriationslagen (ExL). Influensregeln innebär ett undantag från grundregeln i ersättningsreglerna i 4 kap.

Regeln innebär att i de fall expropriationsföretaget föranlett en värdeförändring av någon betydelse ska värderingen av fastigheten göras utan beaktning av influensenThis report aims to investigate how the legislation regarding the positive effect from an enterprise for the conduct of which a property unit is expropriated, in chapter 4 section 2 of the Swedish Expropriation Act, is used in practice. The rule is an exception to the main compensation rules, which means that a landowner should be fully compensated in the event of expropriation. The rule has prove

The media has considerable power in informing, shaping, or skewing foreign policy debates through salience and framing. While it is quite challenging to make accurate predictions about the future of India’s non-alignment policy, it is feasible to examine perspectives and concerns about India’s policy of non-alignment in the increasingly polarized world stemming from the Russia-Ukraine war. Thus, b
