This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between education and income inequality in Colombia. Using unconditional quantile regressions (UQR) this paper examines the wage returns of different education levels at various points of the wage distribution. Additionally, recentered influence function regressions (RIF) are used to explore the correlation between each education lev

Being, when built, the most powerful neutron accelerator in the world, there will be a large number of potential discoveries at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund. One of the most exciting of these, from a particle physics point of view, is the Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEνNS). The goal of the thesis project is to calculate the neutron background in a room that could

Miljövänligt och hållbart byggande har blivit en alltmer betydande fråga både globalt och i Sverige. Med en ökande befolkning och stigande krav på levnadsstandard har behovet av att använda material och resurser ökat avsevärt, vilket har lett till ökade miljöutmaningar. I Sverige står byggsektorn ensam för cirka 21 procent av de totala växthusgasutsläppen, exklusive utsläpp från importerade varor.Environmentally friendly and sustainable construction is an increasingly important matter worldwide and in Sweden. The growing population, coupled with rising demands for living standards, has led to a greater use of materials and goods, resulting in increased environmental problems. In Sweden, the construction sector accounts for approximately 21 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions, excludi

Traditional change management models have been widely used to manage organisational change. However, this integrative literature review paper questions their relevance in environments characterised by complexity due to the intricate nature of challenges and uncertainties in these contexts. A novel framework is developed, encompassing key elements required to facilitate change in complex environmen

The digital platform Airbnb has gained popularity in a number of countries particu- larly in the Maltese islands. Striking a balance in setting a price that is competitive and also renders a good profit can be a challenge. In this thesis a model is de- veloped to predict the price of a listing in the Maltese islands for September 2022 through a machine learning approach whereby five types of model

Introduction: This project is about in vitro assays of metabolic stability and metabolite identification during early drug discovery. Background: Predicting metabolic stability is as essential part of drug discovery. Several in vitro systems exist including microsomes, S9 fractions and hepatocytes. Currently, hepatocytes are not used at the company, but there is demand from clients and projects.

The overall purpose of this thesis is to investigate the feasibility of producing electrofuels from CO2 and H2 in connection to a CHP plant equipped with carbon capture technology. This is done by investigating the production of e-methane, e-methanol and e-kerosene from captured CO2 and H2 produced from electrolysis. Each of the processes is designed and analyzed in Aspen HYSYS. From this, the ene

Abstract: This thesis examines the concept of sustainable economic growth in post-genocide Rwanda, focusing on its structural transformation from the agricultural sector towards the service sector. This exploration essentially regards the implications for catch-up growth in light of the new notion of premature deindustrialisation. The role of Human Capital and Information and Communication technol

Much has been written about Hemingway’s works from a feminist or queer perspective, including the relation between Hemingway’s biography and his representation of female characters, female domination and homosexuality. In comparison, the queer sub-field of transgender studies, which entails analyzing gender transgression and influence, has received little attention by scholars of Hemingway studies

Orally disintegrating tablets (ODTs) is a popular drug delivery system as they dissolve in the mouth, usually within seconds which enables easy medication for patients with problem swallowing. In this thesis properties of ODTs were compared when produced with direct compression of the excipients or the excipients were pretreated to form granules in a fluid bed granulator prior to tableting. B

Considering a panel data of 23 countries from different income levels, this research aims to understand the role of governmental quality in mediating the effects of income inequality on CO2 emissions in the period between 1990 and 2020. Using system-GMM, results indicate that good governance is indeed a crucial factor in establishing the direction of the relationship between income inequality and

Ny avfallslagstiftning tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang I dagsläget bestämmer varje kommun själv hur många källsorterade avfallsfraktioner de vill hämta upp hos hushållen samt huruvida matavfall ska sorteras ut separat eller slängas blandat med restavfall. Ny avfallslagstiftning från EU och regeringen tvingar kommunerna att se över sina avfallsabonnemang så att de lever upp tRecycling reduces the need for new raw materials and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, the new waste legislation from the EU and the Swedish government imposes higher recycling requirements on Swedish municipalities. Starting from January 1, 2024, it will be mandatory for all EU member states to separately collect food waste through curbside collection. The Swedish government has also decided

Sökandet av förståelsen kring hur jorden, solsystemet, galaxen och universum fungerar har under de senaste hundratals åren varit ständiga frågor som vi människor grubblat över. Frågor som vad materia är, vart det kommer ifrån och hur det ter sig var under en lång tid obesvarade frågor. Idag vet vi att många grundämnen skapas genom den fusion som sker inuti stjärnkroppar, och resterande grundämnen During this report the potassium (K) trend in the Galactic Bulge, with respect to metallicity and various α-elements, has been computed and evaluated by a method of line synthesis on the 7698.96 ̊A KI line (7699 KI), where Non-Local-Thermal-Equilibrium (NLTE) effects have been considered. Specifically, the α-elements of interest are calcium (Ca), titanium (Ti), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg) and oxy

Examensarbetet har utförts på Höganäs AB där stor del av verksamheten drivs av ABB:s styrsystem. Eftersom ABB:s I/O-moduler har lång leveranstid för tillfället men också ett högt inköpspris så sökte företaget alternativ. Det skulle vara lönsamt att testa och analysera alternativ då priserna kan reduceras men också en nödlösning när I/O-moduler går sönder i verksamheten, eller när något nytt behöve

Campylobacter jejuni causes around 100 million cases of gastroenteritis each year and are often transmitted to humans through the consumption of contaminated food, especially poultry. One of the natural enemies of C. jejuni is the bacteriophage Fletchervirus. In this master thesis I have been working on developing and evaluating different tools to modify Fletchervirus which could in the future hel

Workplace incivility has been shown to affect the individual and organization negatively. Studies have also indicated that workplace incivility is a relatively common phenomenon in Sweden. In connection with the pandemic, working life has become increasingly digital, which has normalized video meetings. Therefore, more knowledge is requested about workplace incivility in digital meetings. This pre

The purpose of this master thesis is to get a deeper knowledge and understanding of the European Union’s vision and strategy on peacebuilding in Colombia. By investigating the main messages and meanings as expressed by the European Union in the empirical material, The European Union Trust Fund for Colombia and The Multi-annual Indicative Programme 2021-2027, this thesis seeks to identify the ideas
