Växthuseffekten är ett av de största miljöproblemen som mänskligheten står inför. Den naturliga växthuseffekten är nödvändig för allt liv på jorden, men när växthusgaserna i atmosfären ökar på grund av CO2 utsläpp, stiger jordens medeltemperatur. Konsekvenserna av uppvärmningen är bland annat smältande isar, vattenbrist och naturkatastrofer. En av orsakerna till uppvärmningen är framför allt förbrN,N-diphenyl carbazolium salt has attracted interest for applications in anionic exchange membranes (AEM) due to its structural features and the high chemical stability that the compound exhibit. AEM are polymeric membranes with positively charged functional groups. They can be employed as electrolytes in alkaline fuel cells. In this project, different types of N,N-diphenyl carbazolium compounds w

The purpose of this study is to understand how employees make sense of employee engagement activities in a remote work environment. Since the sudden shift to remote work represents a disruption of routine in the employees’ working life, we draw on Weick’s (1995) sensemaking theory to gain the best possible insight into the employees’ interpretation of remote engagement activities. Based on the tra

Oats (Avena sativa) are part of the cereal whole grain family, and their production is on the rise for the past few years due to extensive research done on the health benefits it can provide to humans. ScanOats project in Sweden is one of the research groups across the world that has done extensive work on oats. The lines CT-BG-53, CT-BG-21, and CT-BG-37 are mutant lines harvested by Crop Tailor A

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a heterogeneous inflammatory joint disease that affects around 240-250 million people worldwide. The disease is a prominent cause of disability and a leading source of societal expenses in older adults. As of today, personalized OA treatment is considered essential and is currently being addressed in several osteoarthritis guidelines. To explore the possibilities of precisio

With an increasing awareness of environmentalism, the transportation sector is also understanding its duty to protect the natural resources given to humankind. For the sector it is increasingly important to decrease the weight of transportation vehicles to save fuel and electrical energy. For a severe weight reduction Volvo Buses plans to launch a lighter bus structure in the coming years. This in

The purpose of this study was to investigate how counsellors in specialised palliative care view and relate to social and psychosocial support for bereaved relatives. The study's empirical material was obtained through qualitative semi-structured interviews with nine counsellors within specialised palliative care and was conducted in one of Sweden's southern health care regions.

DevOps är ett arbetssätt och arbetsmodell som beskriver hur utvecklare och driftpersonal arbetar tillsammans för att säkerställa optimal utveckling, lansering och drift av ett mjukvarusystem. Detta är något som organisationer världen över försöker att implementera för att ligga i fram-kant. Däremot då DevOps inte omfattas av en universell struktur ser det väldigt olika från före-tag till företag.

Fjärrvärmen är en mogen uppvärmningsteknik som under lång tid har byggts ut i Sverige. Stora delar av fjärrvärmebolagens kapital består av ledningarna som är nedgrävda i marken. Att ha kunskapen om statusen på sina fjärrvärmeledningar är viktigt för att kunna undvika kostsamma skador och bedöma förnyelsebehov. För de äldre delarna av fjärrvärmenätet, där ledningarna är förlagda i kulvertar har det

This master’s thesis explores how capacity planning in outsourced manufacturing can be improved through sales and operations planning (S&OP). The master’s thesis was done in collaboration with Axis Communications AB, where the capacity planning and S&OP processes were analyzed. Managing manufacturing capacity in high technology industries is one of the most important aspects to consider fo

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
