Svårigheterna med att se reduktion av järnoxid med vätgas på atomnivå Jag har undersökt hur järnoxid omvandlas till järn med hjälp av vätgas. Detta gjordes i ett elektronmikroskop för att kunna följa hur atomstrukturen förändras under processens gång. I mikroskopet är dock trycket lågt och elektronstrålen tillför stora mängder energi. Jag undersökte dessa begränsningar med flera och visar i rappoThis thesis aims to explore how the reduction of iron oxide by hydrogen should be explored in an environmental transmission electron microscope (ETEM). This is done by performing a series of reduction attempts in the ETEM at nCHREM, Lund University, and exploring how the ETEM conditions are different from those used commercially. Various reduction parameters are explored, the presence of water vap

Sustainability, population dynamics and health issues are some of the greater challenges the global society faces today. Meat consumption has emerged as one of the reasons behind the cause and effect of these challenges. There is a growing consensus amongst researchers, industry stakeholders and decision-makers that there is a need to transition into more sustainable alternatives to meat. As a res

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and the most common cause for disability among the adult population in Sweden, due in part to the fact that many patients do not arrive at the hospital in time for treatment. A system that could detect unilateral arm weakness based on arm movement, a common symptom of stroke, is therefore desirable. In recent years there has been rapid development in th

Although the technical, externally oriented efforts are of great importance, there is a predominant weakness when it comes to securing information assets; the individual user within an organization.

För att klara av den kommande demografiska utmaningen med en antagen fortsatt stigande medellivslängd, behöver arbetslivet förlängas. Då pensionen beräknas utifrån förväntad medellivslängd vid pensionering, kommer pensionen successivt bli allt lägre i förhållande till slutlönen om inte den ökade medellivslängden balanseras upp av en höjd utträdesålder från arbetslivet. Det finns ett flertal pensioIn order to cope with the coming demographic challenge with an assumed continued rising average life expectancy, working life needs to be extended. Since the pension is calculated on the basis of expected average life expectancy at retirement, the pension will gradually become lower in relation to the final salary unless the increased average life expectancy is compensated by an increased retireme

Storbritanniens folkomröstning om EU-medlemskap och USA:s presidentval 2016 represente-rar ett skifte i västvärldens politik. Denna förändring har, enligt många, lett till en polariserad och osäker samtid. De politiska konflikterna präglas av, å ena sidan, de som försvarar ett mit-tenorienterat samarbete och, å andra sidan, de vänster- och högerpopulister som på olika sätt försöker utmana rådande Unlike most research on populism and post-democracy that have examined the current politi-cal conjuncture, the aim of this thesis is to understand and explain how populist voters are constructed. To do this, the opinion and cultural pages of Sweden's six largest newspapers are studied during the time of the 2016 United Kingdom European membership referendum and the 2016 United States president
