Musslor bidrar till en god havsmiljö genom att äta havsplankton och på så sätt minska algblomningen. Idag konsumeras finare musslor av människor i olika rätter, däremot går andrasorteringen ofta till djurfoder eller till gödning. Genom att hitta fler tillämpningar för de proteinrika musslorna skapas en högre efterfrågan på musslor som i sin tur gör att mer musslor odlas och på så sätt ger oss frisMussels contribute to a good marine environment by eating sea plankton and thus reducing the eutrophication. Today, high quality mussels are consumed by humans in different dishes, however, the second quality is often used as animal feed or as fertilizers in agriculture. By finding more applications for the protein rich mussels, a higher demand for mussels is created which in turn means that more

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has created a novel and unique situation forcing start-up teams to mandatory-work-from-home (MWFH). With everyday life coming to a halt, start-up teams suddenly adjust their ways of working and transform to virtual means of teamwork performed from home environments.

Those who have increased their relative care are primarily women, especially women from the working class and women who provide care to a relative who was born outside the Nordic countries. The purpose of this study was to investigate young female second-generation Swede

Belonging to the group of Nickel-based superalloys, Inconel 718 has excellent oxidation resistance and high-temperature strength, which is crucial for applications in the aerospace industry, for example, the manufacturing of components for engines. The low machinability of Inconel 718 demands the higher performance of the cutting tool. Drilling is one of the conventional machining operations apply

Studiens syfte är att analysera fenomenet lokal e-handel och skapa en fördjupad förståelse för vilken funktion fenomenet fyller för lokala detaljister i stadskärnan i en större svensk stad, och undersöka om det kan vara stadskärnans räddning. För en nyanserad förståelse för om lokal e-handel kan rädda stadskärnan inkluderas även Citysamverkans- och Zipadoos syn på forskningsfenomenet i studien. Ge

In this thesis, I critically scrutinize the data-driven policing tool POL-INTEL, which was implemented in the Danish police in 2017. To better understand how we are governed and policed through POL-INTEL I look at the problematisations and forms of subjectifications constituted in the policies to acquire and implement the system in the police and through the technology of POL-INTEL itself. For thi

I uppsatsen undersöks vilka perspektiv på redaktörens yrkesroll och redigeringspraktik som skrivs fram i handböcker om innehållsredigering av fiktion. En komparativ kvalitativ innehållsanalys genomförs av tre amerikanska handböcker som är skrivna av redaktörer: The Fiction Editor, The Novel, And The Novelist av Thomas McCormack, The Story Grid av Shawn Coyne och Self-Editing For Fiction Writers av

Democracy promotion has received increased attention within development cooperation during the 21st century. The purpose of this study is to investigate foreign aid’s impact on democratization processes. Previous similar studies have mostly conducted quantitative methods or qualitative methods investigating foreign aid’s impact on economic outcomes. This study conducts a qualitative method and inv

Many models beyond the Standard Model that predict the existence of multiple Higgs bosons. In general, some of these additional Higgs bosons could be quasi-degenerate in mass either to each other or to the observed 125 GeV Higgs boson. The goal of this thesis is to study under which circumstances we can resolve such Higgs bosons. We first make the simplifying assumption that the observed and predi

A series of relevant case studies and state documents are analyzed by using a qualitative ‘oni

När jag var liten läste mamma sagor för mig varje kväll. Favoriterna var bilderböckerna. Den jag tyckte bäst om hette Hattstugan som Elsa Beskow hade skrivit. Inte visste jag då att mamma också hade lyssnat på samma saga när hon var liten när mormor läste för henne. Likadant när mormor var liten på 1940-talet och fick höra den av sin mamma. Att en författarinna född 1874 skulle läses och uppskatt

Möjliga vägar för grön vätgas från Nordsjön Hur kan vi förse framtidens användare med vätgas? Den havsbaserade vindkraften är på frammarsch och vätgas ser ut att kunna bli vindkraftens starkaste allierade. Men hur får vi vätgasen från vindkraftsområdena till där den ska användas? Behöver vi omvandla den till mer effektiva former? Vilket transportsätt är bäst? Nu har vi svaret på dessa frågor föRenewable hydrogen can be transported using different hydrogen carriers and modes of transport. Each carrier and mode is associated with different drawbacks and benefits relating to – among other factors – storage density and losses. The forthcoming expansion of offshore wind is likely to be coupled with hydrogen production in some way and there are many different ways that this can be done. Th
