Porous carbon obtained from low cost and abundant biomass has gained attention as renewable material feedstock. In this study, porous carbon biochar produced through pyrolysis was investigated by Raman spectroscopy to disclose the structural properties. The measured samples were in form of pellets (identified as WP, 139, 233, 226), and lumber wood (Pine, a softwood type and Beech, a hardwood type)

Latin American countries are among the happiest countries world-wide despite suffering from vast economic inequality at the same time. Addressing this alleged puzzle, this study analyses the effects of economic prosperity and inequality on happiness in Latin America. Using a pooled dataset of annual surveys from the Latinobarómetro between 2005 and 2018, an advanced three-level model with individu

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine eco-label knowledge and eco-label trust, and their relationships to planned sustainable behaviour. This will be done by investigating the Swedish market and more specifically eco-labelled food within the FMCG sector. Methodology: This thesis adopted a deductive research approach which follows a quantitative research method. The data was coll

Detta examensarbete undersöker möjligheterna att implementera magneter för flera funktioner i en så kallad ”knob”. Projektet utfördes i samarbete med Sigma Connectivity. Under ett tidigare projekt på Sigma Connectivity uppstod ett intresse för att använda magneter i en av deras produkter. Denna produkt används för att välja alternativ genom att rotera en yttre part eller trycka på knappar på toppThis master thesis investigates the possibilities of implementing magnets for several functions in a knob. The project was carried out in collaboration with Sigma Connectivity. During a previous project at Sigma Connectivity, there occurred an interest in using mag-nets in a product called ”the knob”. This product is used to select options by swiveling an outer part or pushing buttons at the top.

African exports that end up in other African countries today is less than 20%, a low value compared to that of Europe, Asia and America, all above 50%. However, these intra-African exports are more diversified than African exports reaching other continents. Specifically, it is comprised of higher quality goods that stimulate stronger and more stable economic growth. To capitalize on this, various

This study examines the change of Croatia’s imports and exports of goods with EU member states during the time period of 2000-2018. This includes when it signed the Stabilisation and Association Agreement with the European Union and after it became an EU member. This is done to give insight into what future member states and current EU candidate countries could potentially expect from their access

During the 17th and early 18th century Antonio Stradivari built around 900 violins, that still today are considered some of the best instruments ever created. The theories of how it was possible for a luthier active 300 years ago to create instruments of this quality are many, including unique wood properties and secret building techniques. The sound of a violin is produced by vibrations from the

This study explores the discourse on non-monogamy in a Swedish heterosexual context. Analysing how people speak about opening up monogamous relationships, the aim of this study is to investigate why monogamous relationships are conceived as problematic in the 21st century. By mapping out some underlying preconceptions concerning gender and concepts such as emancipation the study also aims to under

High energy particle collisions often produce large numbers of partons in the final state, which are clustered together in collimated sprays called jets. A recent paper [1] introduces the concept of jet entropy, which is an observable that quantifies the entanglement between the resolved and unresolved parts of a jet. We derive an analytic expression for the entropy of a gluon jet and compare the

När en utredare observerar en olycksplats är bevisen de kan hitta viktiga. Bevisen är det som gör att de kan återskapa hur olyckan hände och förstå vad som hände. Men om de inte förstår bevisen, eller använder dom för att återskapa olycksplatsen på fel sätt, kan svaret de får vara fel. Inom partikelfysik kolliderar vi atomkärnor med extrema energier för att se vilka hemligheter universum har. För The purpose of this thesis was to implement an alternative method to calculate the overlap function, which describe to what extent two protons overlap with each other spatially, into PYTHIA8 in order to determine how it affected the average number of multiparton interactions. The new overlap function is based on an explicit impact parameter picture, whereas PYTHIA8s overlap function uses an implic
