Natural rubber is a biopolymer that is invaluable in our society. It is used in medical devices, tires, engines and many other consumer products, and so far no synthetic substance has been able to compete with its properties. Today, all natural rubber comes from the rubber tree, mainly grown in southeast Asia. Due to current threats to the rubber industry, finding an alternative source for natural

Det finns olika uppfattningar om huruvida påförande av skattetillägg vid tillämpning av skatteflyktslagen harmonierar med skattelagstiftningens syfte. Det har framförts att det finns ett bristande logiskt samband mellan skatteflyktslagen och skattetilläggsbestämmelserna. Det har vidare hävdats att domskälen många gånger endast är svagt förbundna med lagtext och förarbeten, det har även ifrågasattsIn cases of incorrect information in the declaration of income the Swedish Tax Agency (SKV) can decide on tax surcharge. Decisions according to the Tax Evasion Act (1995:575) are, however, only decided on by court. It has been argued that there is a lack of logical association between the Tax Evasion Act and the decision on tax surcharge and that the applicability of the Tax Evasion Act and the ta

Solid fuel fired fluidized bed (FB) boilers are common in combined heat and power (CHP) plants in district heating- and process industry. In this study, utilization of such FB boilers for production of syngas in dual fluidized bed gasifiers and subsequent catalytic biofuel production to substitute natural gas (SNG), methanol (MeOH) and Fischer-Tropsch fuel (FT) has been examined. Based on the hypo

The purpose of this study was to examine young persons' experiences of life with ADHD. Semi structured interviews were done with four boys age 14-18 years, diagnosed with ADHD. The interviews followed a guide that consisted of themes with questions. The themes examined were: diagnosis, school, home, social and personal issues and how these themes are connected to ADHD. The results indicate tha

Efficient extraction of thermal energy from electrons at the micro- and nanoscale is a long-standing scientific goal that could enable novel types of heat engines, heat management, and solar cell applications. Semiconductor nanowires are a promising system for investigating such devices for several reasons, such as their thermoelectric properties, and the potential to be grown in heterostructures

During the Swedish NATO negotiations, the Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan once again raised the question of whether Türkiye could be welcomed into the EU. This thesis examines Türkiye’s shortcomings concerning their EU accession, focusing on the human rights of Kurdish people by answering the research questions: what is the state of human rights of the Kurd-ish people in Türkiye, and what c

Power consumption has become a leading concern for SoC aimed at 5G products that demand increased functionality, smaller form factors, and low energy footprint. For some EMCA IP blocks a hierarchical clock gating mechanism ensures coarse-grained power savings based on actual processing need but for many blocks this approach cannot be employed. This implies that these blocks have to rely on a high
