Katalysatorer är viktiga komponenter i den kemiska industrin. Deras användning tillåter kemiska processer att ske på ett ekonomiskt och miljövänligt sätt, förutsatt att de är stabila och har bra aktivitet i den kemiska miljön där de tillämpas. Ett viktigt steg vid implementeringen av nya kemiska processer är alltså att utveckla lämpliga katalysatorer. Processen att utveckla sådana kan vara väldigtEstablishing a technically practical method to generate representative model catalysts for the use in characterizations and testing prior to catalyst implementation in chemical process units would allow for a more sophisticated understanding of the underlying catalytic mechanisms. As a step towards establishing such a method, generating non-agglomerated, spherical NiMo nanoparticles, with diameter

It is very important for an investor to choose an accurate and effective risk measure when optimizing a portfolio of different assets. Recently, in addition to the standard risk measures such as variance or Value-at-Risk (VaR), more developed risk measures have emerged and one of them is the entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR). This paper is testing the hypothesis stated by Ahmadi-Javid and Fallah-Tafti

Intressenthantering är ett område som i många byggprojekt är essentiella för att projektet ska bli lyckat, ändå är det ett område som emellanåt negligeras av både projektledning och entreprenör. Att ha missnöjda intressenter som är negativt inställda till projektet kan leda till ökade klagomål och eventuella störningar i byggandet vilket kan drabba både budget och tidplan. Denna fallstudie har st

Den demografiska utvecklingen i världen innebär en stor ekonomisk press på välfärdsstaterna. Andelen äldre i befolkningen har ökat vilket leder till att försörjningsbördan på de arbetstagare som är i arbetsför ålder också ökar. För att kunna lösa problemen med en åldrande befolkning behöver pensionsåldern höjas. I januari 2020 infördes därför 68-årsregeln i LAS i syfte att höja pensionsåldern i SvDemographic developments are putting a great deal of economic pressure on welfare states. The proportion of older people in the population increases which leads to an increase in the dependency ratio. In order to solve the problems of an aging population, the retirement age needs to be raised. In January 2020, the “68-year rule” was introduced in the Swedish Employment Protection Act. The aim of t

Many citizens in Ranchi, Jharkhand, suffer from the consequences of contaminated drinking water. The city’s water governance system therefore urgently needs to find ways to bring safe drinking water to its people. Prevalent models in water governance however do not provide effective guidance for the necessary transition process. They lack heuristics that facilitate an in-depth understanding of con

Färgblödning, eller mer formellt kromatisk aberration, uppstår när ljus som består av mer än en våglängd, till exempel vitt ljus, inte kan fokuseras till samma punkt av en lins. I detta fall orsakas det av att ljus av olika våglängder bryts olika beroende på materialet det passerar igenom. Ett väldigt välkänt exempel av detta är avbildat på albumomslaget till Pink Floyds "The Dark Side of theAttosecond pulses obtained via high harmonic generation often suffer from chromatic aberration. This is inherent from the generation process as a consequence of the spatial profile of the driving laser pulses. Consequently, the focus positions and divergences of consecutive harmonics vary, leading to chromatic aberration which prevents high-quality refocusing as is critically required for applicat

Illicit organ markets coincides with medical advancements and greater global interconnectedness. Many organ vendors come from poor socioeconomic backgrounds and are coerced into the sale which lacks the altruistic notion often associated with transplantation.

Att förmå någon att begå ett brott benämns inom juridiken som “anstiftan”. Det är ett brott som kan ge ett lika högt straff som det brott som anstiftas. Anstiftan förutsätter att det finns minst två gärningspersoner, varav den ena agerar på uppdrag av den andra. I två av Sveriges mest kända rättsfall, Knutbydramat från 2004 och Arbogafallet från 2016, är det just detta som sker – en person förmår

This study investigates political microtargeting in a multi-party context, more specifically, in a Swedish setting. By utilizing a mixed-method approach, the objective of the study is twofold. Firstly, interviewing researchers and political parties regarding their perception of microtargeting to generate a holistic view around the technology and its utilization. Secondly, implementing a survey wit

Att ringa och prata klimat med någon på kommunen kan vara trevligt, men kanske inte mer än så Det finns många sätt att söka information om klimatet på. Är energi- och klimatrådgivningen, Energimyndigheten och kommunen redo att vara en klimatrådgivare i den skala det skulle behövas för att få tjänsten framgångsrik? Eller är det klokare att låta apparna och företagen som redan finns därute att skötThis study explores the opportunity of advancing climate focused projects within the Swedish energy and climate advising. Inspired by behavioural change and climate communication theory, a pilot project was developed where a climate advising service was tested and reviewed. Further, interviews with responsible climate and energy advisors of other climate focused projects were performed, and togeth

March 2020 the World Health Organization (WHO) declare the virus outbreak Covid19 as a pandemic. To prevent further outbreak, the Norwegian government has implemented the most drastic measures in Norway during peacetime. All schools have been forced to lock down, the number of unemployment has increased, and the population is encouraged to stay at home and keep social distance. In light of the cri

För många människor är kollektivtrafik avgörande för en fungerande vardag. Att planera för kollektivtrafik är komplicerat och måste ta hänsyn till många olika aspekter. Denna rapport syftar till att undersöka en av dessa, medborgardialog vid planeringen av kollektivtrafiken. Genom att svara på vad medborgardialog är, hur det regleras av svensk lag och om förbättringar kan behövas, och slutligen huFor some people, public transport is essential for a working everyday life. To plan for public transport is complex and has to take many different aspects into account. This report aims to investigate one of them, the public’s participation, in public transport planning by answering what the public’s contribution is, how it is regulated by Swedish law and if improvements might be needed, and lastl
