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.

Organisationskultur och dess reproducering

På en arbetsmarknad där det blir svårare och svårare för företag att rekrytera rätt kandidater har organisationskulturen blivit en konkurrenskraftig faktor för att attrahera rätt typ av personer. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka vad en sådan organisationskultur kan bestå i: Hur beskriver anställda en god företagskultur och hur upprätthålls den? Forskningen på området förklarar ofta organi

Fjällens bönder i Sveriges exotiska periferi : föreställningar om samer i 1930- och 1940-talsvideo- och filmklipp

Minoriteter har i alla tider blivit utsatta för att vara annorlunda majoriteten. Samer är ett sådant exempel. Den här studien utforskar hur denna olikhet har kommit att presenteras i svenska video- och filmklipp från 1930- och 1940-tal. Det som står i fokus är hur samerna (minoriteten) har föreställts av svenskar (majoriteten). Detta görs med hjälp av ett antal analytiska begrepp. Rasism, rasifier

End of an era

On the 24th of February 2022, Russia initiated a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. About a quarter of a year later, Sweden decided to abandon its long standing foreign policy doctrine of being militarily non-aligned in favor of joining NATO. Given the sequencing of these events, the common perception is that the 2022 invasion was the sole reason behind this significant decision. Taking a long-term

Assessment of intracellular pH and fermentation profile in xylose-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains using ratiometric sensors

The production of ethanol from second-generation feedstock like lignocellulose is limited by efficient growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on xylose. One of the reasons for that might be a lower ATP formation vs. proton formation flux in cells using the xylose reductase (XR)/xylose dehydrogenase (XDH) pathway compared to glucose as ideal substrate. The therefore reduced availability of ATP, as ATP
