Development of environmentally friendly and cost-efficient energy sources has been a challenge for modern society since long ago. Sunlight is an infinite and costless source of energy on Earth, so it would be an enormous advantage to efficiently harvest and transform it into electrical energy used in our everyday life. In nature the process, which converts light energy into chemical energy, is cal

The International Criminal Court (ICC) was created as a compliment to domestic courts in the global fight against impunity. However, customary international law has afforded Heads of State with immunity from prosecution, even for serious international crimes. Some key challenges of international criminal law are to reconcile the competing objectives of maintaining stable international relations, a

The purpose of this research is to identify how God’s actions are talked about in sermons in the Church of Sweden and how this is perceived by the listeners. The research questions that guide this study are: How do priests in the Church of Sweden in the diocese of Lund talk about God in their sermons? And how is this perceived by the participants in the Sunday service? To answer these questio

A search for decays of the Higgs boson into a Z boson and a light resonance, with a mass of 0.5–3.5 GeV, is performed using the full 140 fb−1 dataset of 13 TeV proton–proton collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector during LHC Run 2. Leptonic decays of the Z boson and hadronic decays of the light resonance are considered. The resonance can be interpreted as a J/ψ or ηc meson, an axion-like particl

Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are a group of incurable conditions, among which the most common, such as COPD and asthma, have significant negative impacts on patients’ mental health and economic productivity. Understanding of the causes and affected populations of CRDs is continuously evolving, with air pollution now recognized as an important etiological factor alongside smoking, receiving

The extensive use of neonicotinoids has raised concerns about their impact on pollinators like hoverflies, which are vital for pollination and ecosystem health. This study develops and validates a green extraction method using Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE), coupled with HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) - MS/MS (Mass Spectrometry) for selective analysis. SFE was employed as a m

In this commentary, we reflect on the program chair experience of ICIS 2015 to pass on some useful organizational memory for the IS community at large. We also reflect on volunteer effort required for a high-quality conference and the challenges of maintaining quality over a diverse and dispersed reviewing effort. We ask whether we can count on this volunteer effort in a changing higher education

Peru grapples with severe water insecurity due to climate change and ecosystem degradation. In response, the government implemented the Ecosystem Services Compensation Mechanism for Water Security (MERESE), employing Payment for Ecosystem Services to incentivize nature-based solutions. Central to MERESE are Good Governance Platforms, multi-stakeholder bodies overseeing implementation and ensuring

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being widely employed globally to enhance marine safety services and address challenges within the maritime sector. Nevertheless, the provision of these services in East Africa, particularly within the Lake Victoria basin, is deficient and inadequate. Consequently, a study needs to be undertaken to pinpoint certain domains in marine safety that may be

The Capability Approach (CA) has been increasingly gaining popularity amongst scholars and policy-makers, offering an alternative to the so far predominant position of the GDP as the primary measure of human development. The CA is a normative framework which can be used as a basis to conceptualize and evaluate socio-economic and political phenomena such as inequality and human well-being. One of t

The terms “gender” and “sex” are central to feminist concerns. In English scholarship “gender” is disputed within and outside of feminism, despite its seemingly political correctness as an alternative to “sex” (Olson 2012; Gunnarsson 2011). This thesis aims to describe how “gender”, multi-word expressions with “gender”, and the derivative “gendered” are translated into Arabic target texts (TTs) by

As one of the primary countries of destination for migrant domestic workers in Asia, Singapore is a developed country with one of the highest standards of living in the region. Yet, the city-state has been on the receiving end of extensive criticism concerning the rights and protections of migrant domestic workers. Civil society organizations have been one of the loudest critics, and in recent pub

Young adult novels about suicide are questioned pieces of literature. Fears of suicide contagion and the perceived unsuitability of such narratives for adolescents lie at the centre of this conflict, which has resulted in the banning of books and other censorship moves. Suicide in literature has been the focus of relatively scarce previous research, and there is a need for further literary critici

Action Research, Participatory Action Research and participatory methods have faced a number of criticisms, including that they do not actually involve citizens or create social change, and that they are tokenistic. This thesis develops and tests a new participatory method that contributes to a democratic and emancipatory PAR that responds to these criticisms and the shortcomings of current method

As offshore wind farms continue to grow in scale and number, wake interaction between turbines represents a significant source of power loss and increased fatigue risk. Consequently, there has been an increased interest in wake control strategies. Wake control strategies aim to mitigate these effects but their comparative effectiveness across power, wake velocity and turbulence intensity is not we

Examensarbetet undersöker hur järnvägen idag dräneras och hur klimatförändringar påverkan järnvägen och dess dräneringssystem. Resultaten visar att vatten har en stor påverkan på järnvägens hållfasthet och hur viktiga trummor är för att hantera vattenflöden. I och med klimatets förändringar som orsakar större nederbördsmängder och vattenflöden i norra Sverige och torka i södra kommer framtidens prThe thesis evaluates how the railway is drained today and how climate change will affect the railway and its drainage capability. The results show that water has a big impact of the railways structural integrity and how important drums are to handle waterflow. The climate change causes greater precipitation amounts and waterflows in northerns Sweden and droughts in the south. The project planning
