Synthesis and analysis of cobalt-based N5-complexes

Sedan 1960-talet har världens befolkning ökat med nästan en miljard varje årtionde. Med denna ökande befolkning följer ökande energibehov. Fram tills år 2023 har den globala energiproduktionen dominerats av icke-förnybara energikällor som till exempel kol och olja. De kallas icke-förnybara energikällor eftersom de inte är återanvändbara och är ändliga. Utöver detta så släpper dessa energikällor utThis research focuses on synthesizing three cobalt complexes by ligands consisting of different conjugated systems and analysing their catalytic properties. These cobalt compounds are to be used to catalyse the reduction of protons generated in the reaction of water splitting. The reverse of water splitting is used in fuel cells and consists of oxidizing hydrogen gas to protons and electrons follo

Forecasting Swedish FCR-D Prices using Penalized Multivariate Time Series Techniques

The Swedish energy market is becoming more and more sustainable, with an increasing volume and number of diversified energy sources being continuously added to the mix. To stabilize the grid frequency, auctions are held to offer energy providers incentives to produce or consume energy on short notice. This paper is applying different multivariate time series models and their ensemble to find relia

Achieving Sustainability in Complex Multi-Tier Supply Chains: The Role of Supply Chain Visibility and Transparency in Responsible Sourcing of Critical Minerals

There is growing pressure from stakeholders on global corporations to ensure the sustainability of their products throughout the supply chain. At the same time, due to the high complexity and dynamism of supply chains, companies often do not know what actors operate in their supply chains beyond direct suppliers. Supply chain visibility (SCV) and transparency (SCT) are crucial for ensuring respons

Hållbar konsumtion: En kvalitativ studie om konsumenters värdeskapande av hållbara livsmedel

Forecasting Technological Diffusion through Analogies: Examining Historical Technologies to Assess the Future Growth of Green Hydrogen Electrolysis and Pipeline Network as Climate Mitigation Technologies

Green hydrogen is an advantageous clean energy carrier that enables the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors and addresses the intermittency of renewables. However, its global production is currently constrained by inadequate infrastructure, high investment risks, and relatively technological infancy. Failure to scale green hydrogen could hinder decarbonization efforts and climate goals. Recog

Does money grow on trees? A study of five Swedish national parks using a GIS approach to analyse economic impact

Nationalparker utgör ett centralt element i naturvård runt hela jorden. Utöver naturvård så utgör tron på deras positiva effekt för regionalekonomisk utveckling en allt vanligare motivering för att grunda nya nationalparker. Forskningsläget kring omfattningen av sådana effekter är dock oklart och den ekonomiska effekten av nationalparker i Syd-, Väst, och Mellansverige har inte analyserats i någonNational parks are key parts of worldwide conservation initiatives. Increasingly, they are being founded not only to meet conservation goals but also because of their potential positive impact on regional economies. However, the results of previous research are ambiguous when it comes to assessing the magnitude of this effect and no such studies have been conducted for national parks in southern,

UAV-based remote sensing to characterise local-scale spatial variation in the occurrences of the host plant and larvae nests of the Marsh Fritillary butterfly (Euphydras aurinia)

The survival and persistence of the threatened Marsh Fritillary butterfly (E. aurinia) is linked to the availability of its host plant, the Devil’s Bit (S. pratensis), which primarily inhibits calcareous grasslands. Previous research has established that mapping the distribution of S. pratensis serves as a reliable indicator for identifying the presence of E. aurinina larvae nests. In this study,

Manual-free software for a technical instrument

In workplaces, a lot of knowledge is lost when colleagues change positions. What was once obvious to one person can be incomprehensible to the next. This problem has been encountered by Probation Labs Sweden AB with their biochemical instrument, Labbot. Labbot facilitates researchers in automating their protein analysis. It works like a multi-tool where users can perform one or several tasks in a

Effect of Financial Literacy on Household Wealth Accumulation among Swedish Households

The objective of this study is to examine the effect of financial literacy on household wealth accumulation among Swedish households. Prior research have suggested that financial literacy plays a significant role in financial decision making. Using household data from The Financial Supervisory Authority (FI) of Sweden and instrumental variable approach, the study aims to isolate the effect of fina

Concrete Limits: A sociometabolic analysis of the feasibility of the Circular Economy approach for the concrete sector
