The purpose of this thesis is to examine if female-led countries fared the Covid-19 pandemic differently from male-led countries. To do so, I rely on a pooled OLS regression model, using data from 189 countries between January 2020 to March 2022. My results show that countries with female leaders have significantly fewer cases and deaths of Covid-19 than countries with male leaders. This is found

Contactless fluid surface velocity measurements with radar technology presents novel ways of determining fluid flow. The Acconeer A121 sensor is used, which is a pulsed coherent 60 GHz millimeter-wave radar, with high accuracy and low energy consumption. Fluid flow data is obtained from three different sites; in the Acconeer lab, a lab in the UK, and in three sewage pipes of VA SYD. Initially, dat

This research carried out an assessment on the socioeconomic factors related to the use of violence (psychological aggression and physical assault) against children within the family context, and the extent to which childrearing patterns can be transmitted across generations. The sample under study consisted of 13,205 observations from mothers in all regions of Peru and their children aged 1 to 5

The aim of this thesis was to deepen the understanding of brand activism by looking into existing and novel dimensions on which consumers base their validation and opinion of brands engaging in socio-political discourse. This dissertation followed a dual-analysis approach in which both qualitative and quantitative research was conducted. This study drew on socio-political activism theories, consum

Forests form the backbone of the European terrestrial carbon sink (State Forest Service & Ministry of Environment, 2018). As the European Union (EU) strives to become climate neutral by 2050, forests are accounted for the natural carbon absorption mechanism (European Commission, n.d.). Currently, the European net land carbon sink is decreasing largely due to forest ageing (Pilli et al., 2022),

With the large expansion of renewable energy sources such as wind- and solar, the stability and quality of electrical power can be affected. The transition towards large-scale wind power offers many opportunities to maintain stability by using power converters to create synthetic inertia. At request of Sweco Energy, this thesis shows the effect and importance of synthetic inertia used in wind powe

In the past years, Sweden had been facing rapid growth of photovoltaic cells and total PV installation capacity increased from 300 kW to 1090 MW (2006-2020). To increase the number of PV users and therefore assist in achieving multiple sustainable goals regarding renewable energy, the installations of such systems were actively supported by the Swedish government. This project is aimed at evaluati

Norge behöver utöka sin elproduktion för att möta ett framtida ökat elbehov. Vattenkraften i Norge uppskattas endast ha 23 TWh kapacitet kvar att bygga ut och vindkraft har mött starkt motstånd på senare tid. Solkraft finns fortfarande bara på liten skala i landet men uppskattas öka kraftigt i närtid. Solkraft installeras hela tiden längre norrut men än finns ingen storskalig solkraft i norra NorgNorway needs to increase its power production to meet the future increase in electricity use. Hydro power is estimated to only have 23 TWh of additional available capacity and wind power has met strong resistance lately. Solar power is still only implemented on small scale in Norway but is predicted to increase rapidly in the near future. It is steadily being implemented further north, however the

It is of vital importa

The number of irregular migrants increased in Turkey, especially after the EU-Turkey Joint Action Plan of 2016. This study examines the situation of undocumented Syrian migrants in terms of their capabilities and approaches to the well-being of this particular group from the normative framework of the capability approach with a specific focus on material conditions. Building on the Capability Appr

The iron-chromium (Fe/Cr) catalyst is used for high-temperature water-gas shift (HT WGS) reaction. A major concern using the Fe/Cr catalyst is that it contains hexavalent chromium (Cr+6) which is a potent carcinogen causing health and environmental issues. In order to reduce the usage of chromium in industrial HT WGS applications, a chromium-free catalyst needs to be developed. The aim of this theAs energy demand increases worldwide, the interest in hydrogen has increased as well. Hydrogen is an excellent energy source and an essential component in large industries such as oil refineries, ammonia production plants and methanol synthesis plants. To produce hydrogen, steam methane reforming process is used where methane (CH4) and steam (H2O) is converted to carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen
