Tack vare mer än 100 år av direkta mätningar av jordens magnetfält vet vi med god säkerhet att det inte kan beskrivas till fullo med en dipol, utan visar tydliga asymmetriska egenskaper. Ett av de tydligaste exemplen på magnetfältets asymmetri hittar vi i södra Atlanten, där ett expansivt område uppvisar lägre magnetisk intensitet än någon annan region. Denna Sydatlantiska anomali (SAA) är inte enAfter more than a century of direct observations of the magnetic field, it’s evident that our current field does not completely follow a dipole model and is in fact slightly asymmetrical, with one region of the south Atlantic Ocean standing out in particular. The South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA) is an expansive area of lower magnetic intensity and is known to cause significant problems for satellites

Bathing has long been a part of human his tory, not only as a hygienic practice, but as a social, cultural and therapeutic ritual. Across different cultures and climates, communal bathing has offered moments of connec tion, reflection and restoration. In Iceland, this tradition continues through natural hot springs and public pools, where water be comes both a physical and emotional resource.

The advent of few-femtosecond laser pulses has revolutionized our ability to probe ultrafast phenomena in atoms, molecules, and solids, yet reliable temporal characterization in terawatt-scale laser systems remains challenging due to their complexity. Measurements along the path of the light from the source to end of the beamlines have to be undertaken not just for temporal characterisation of the

Stora mängder koldioxidutsläpp från stora infrastrukturprojekt är en av de mest angelägna utmaningarna inom dagens bygg- och anläggningsbransch, där klimatbelastande material ofta används i stora mängder. Markstabilisering är en beprövad teknik för att förbättra bärigheten hos svaga jordar och erbjuder både tids- och kostnadseffektiva lösningar. Trots dess fördelar är metoden förknippad med betydaLarge-scale carbon dioxide emissions from major infrastructure projects constitute one of the most pressing challenges within the contemporary construction and civil engineering sector, where climate-intensive materials are often used in considerable quantities. Soil stabilization is a proven technique for enhancing the bearing capacity of weak soils and offers both time- and cost-effective soluti

Climate change adaptation (CCA) has become a prominent topic as the global environment changes. Increased extreme weather events, changes in microclimates and local ecosystems necessitate a change in current production methods, particularly within the food industry. Aquaculture, which provides over 50% of the global seafood, is particularly vulnerable to climate change. That includes Norway, the w

This thesis explores the dynamics of youths’ contributions in the ecotourism sector in the indigenous village San José de Uchupiamonas, located in the Bolivian Amazon. It examines the contributions that the youths of the community make to ecotourism. It also explores what knowledge they have gained from the sector, as well as how they perceive ecotourism to have influenced their culture. Through a

The emergence of the New Space Economy has transformed the European space sector, fostering a surge in entrepreneurial activity known as astropreneurship. This thesis explores the key external conditions shaping the emergence and development of astropreneurial ventures in Europe, using the External Enablement Framework (EEF) to analyze how External Enablers (EEs) facilitate new venture creation. T

CBAM aims to simultaneously drive EU competitiveness and decarbonisation by ‘levelling the playing field’ for EU-based producers. However, as a form of carbon tariff CBAM risks jeopardising downstream sectors’ competitiveness. This concern stems from CBAM charging a carbon price on imported intermediaries which are used as inputs for downstream EU manufactures. This carbon premium is not reflected

Impact investing is a recently emerged field which aims to combine the goal of achieving financial returns with positive environmental or social impact. The documented loss of biodiversity has caused the emergence of many corporate environmental impact reporting frameworks, which have sometimes been criticized for their lack of biodiversity-outcome indicators. This study aims to take stock of the

This study investigates how natural weathering affects the fire performance of fire-retardant-impregnated timber façade. Results from a Cone Calorimeter testing showed significant differences in fire properties between different parts of the façade slats, with more weather-exposed surfaces exhibiting slower ignition but higher peak heat release rate per unit areas. Timber color was found to corre

This thesis quantifies how everyday window opening habits affect indoor climate and heating demand in Swedish multi-family dwellings. Minute-by-minute data was analyzed that was collected for one year from 15 dwellings in northern and southern Sweden, logging window angle, air-quality indicators and temperatures indoors and outdoors. More than 17 000 discrete airing events were detected and charac

This thesis investigates particulate matter emissions from a turbofan jet engine operated with fossil Jet A fuel and mixtures of Jet A and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), focusing on particle size distributions and total emission concentrations. The aim was to evaluate emissions from different fuel blends and sampling points, assess the performance of the designed sampling and dilution system, an

Brazil’s National Strategy for the Impact Economy (ENIMPACTO), launched in 2017, is a public initiative that fosters an ecosystem where businesses combine financial returns with positive social and environmental outcomes. While the strategy has earned both national and international recognition, its implementation and the role of intermediary organizations in this process remain underexplored in a

The prevalence of anthropogenic climate disasters is increasing, and this phenomenon is partly attributable to the substantial emissions of various industries. Renewable hydrogen (H2) possesses properties that are well suited to the decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries. This energy source has seen a surge in interest and necessity in recent years, driven by regulatory targets set by the Eur

Adverse human rights and environmental impacts frequently occur in textile supply chains, posing severe risks of reputation to brands. For years, voluntary due diligence standards have aimed to make brands understand that they must take responsibility for these adverse impacts and that mitigating these risks is in their own interest. However, this approach has proven largely ineffective. Consequen

Under början av förra seklet skedde en formlig reception av tysk processrätt genom Ernst Kallenbergs verk Svensk Civilprocessrätt i två band. Således kom läran om processföremålet genom 1942 års processreform att läggas till grund för utformningen av den svenska rättegångsbalken (RB). Läran om processföremålet innebär att saken är den omtvistade rättigheten i det bakom-liggande rättsförhållande soAt the turn of the last century, a formal reception of German procedural law took place through Ernst Kallenberg’s work ’Svensk Civilprocessrätt’ in two volumes. Thereby, the German doctrine on the essence of the claim formed the basis for the Swedish Code of Procedure, rättegångsbalken (RB), through the procedural reform of 1942. The doctrine on the essence of the claim holds that the matter cont

In Bhutan, post-harvest losses are a significant challenge for many small scale farmers, especially in rural areas. Since these losses impact the ability to preserve foods during the peak harvesting seasons, this has a wide range of consequences, both for the farmers themselves and for the country as a whole. It contributes to food insecurity, economic uncertainty and the nutritional deficiencies

Vägar till Reform: Hur Transport Hittade Sin Väg in i EU:s Koldioxidmarknad EU:s utsläppshandelssystem har länge undvikit att inkludera vägtransport, trots att den står för en betydande del av Europas koldioxidutsläpp. Detta är förvånande, eftersom klimatkrisen kräver insatser från alla sektorer. Mitt masterarbete undersöker varför vägtransporten ursprungligen exkluderades, vilka utmaningar det This thesis examines why road transport was initially excluded from the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and what factors contributed to its later inclusion in the EU ETS 2. This thesis will examine how environmental, economic, and political factors contributed to the shift in policy through the lens of the theories of liberal Intergovernmentalism (LI) and neofunctionalism. The research uses a
