The growth of the wild boar (Sus Scrofa) population in Sweden results in increasing wild boar damage on agricultural grounds, thereby influencing the livelihoods of farmers. Finding mitigation strategies that are positive for both wildlife and human society is challenging. It is therefore essential to enable the creation and investigation of precise and differentiated wild boar management strategi

The underwater noise has a significant negative impact on marine animals. The EU has made efforts to keep noise emission within sustainable limits, but only in regards to boats with Automatic Identification System (AIS). The noise of recreational boats, which are the main noise emitter in coastal areas, is overlooked. Thus, there is a need to quantify the noise emitted by recreational boats and, iStudies have shown that the underwater noise undoubtedly has a negative impact on marine animals. The EU have made efforts to keep the noise emission within sustainable limits, but mainly in regards to commercial freight ships. This means that noise from recreational boats, which are the main noise emitter in coastal areas, are overlooked. The noise from recreational boats is also under-investigat

Syftet med föreliggande examensarbete är att illustrera hur arbetet med skriftlig lärarrespons ser ut i praktiken i fyra klasser inom ämnet svenska på gymnasiet. För att uppnå syftet har två metoder använts: dels en analys av fyra lärares skriftliga kommentarer till elevtexter, dels en intervjustudie enligt metoden stimulated recall. Analysen utgick från de begrepp och modeller som presenteras i H“The Sole Purpose is to Foster Student Development” The purpose of this thesis is to illustrate how four teachers work with written feedback within the subject of Swedish in the upper secondary school. To achieve the aim, two methods have been used: firstly an analysis of four teachers' written comments on student texts, secondly an interview study according to the method stimulated recall. T

During operation of a nuclear power plant the neutron radiation of the reactor core may induce activity in surrounding components and equipment. These may in turn become radiation hazards during decommissioning or component exchanges. To better plan for this, models of the degree of activation and subsequently, the dose are therefore of great importance. Building upon a previous study of the neutr

Water scarcity is increasing across different geographical regions of Vietnam. Central drivers of scarcity include population growth and climate change which increase demand and sectoral competition. The legal system is keeping pace to address this trend, but gaps remain in terms of implementation and enforcement. This purpose of this study was to improve the understanding of those gaps via polyce

Surfaktanter används inom många applikationer idag för att stabilisera eller förbättra proteiners funktion. Kartläggning av hur surfaktanter interagerar med proteiner påbörjades redan för flera årtionden sedan, men är ännu inte fullständig. Genom att förstå detta bättre kan surfaktanters användningsområden effektiviseras ytterligare och få produkter som läkemedel och rengöringsmedel som är effektiToday, proteins are used in a huge variety of industrial application ranging from detergents and pharmaceuticals to cosmetical products. Surfactants have the potential to increase solubility of poorly soluble protein, as well as hindering proteins in formulation to interact with the interface and thus protecting them from degradation. Even if the use of protein-surfactant system dates back decades

Title: Strategic Alignment in Procurement for a Swedish OEM: Supply Chain Management for Enhanced Performance Background: Developing strategies to meet different customer demands and conditions is important for companies to succeed.

This thesis aims to investigate if there is an existing relationship between board gender diversity and cost of capital for public firms in Sweden. The study has a quantitative approach and is based on 1306 public Swedish companies during the time period 2019-2023. The study found that more women on the board is negatively associated with cost of capital, which indicates that more diverse boards c

Conventional democratic institutions are unable to sufficiently incorporate citizens’ views in the context of a changing climate. The lack of a shared understanding of what citizen participation entails and what it should look like limits the potential for effective engagement. Postulating that citizen participation in policy-making processes could contribute to better decisions regarding flood ri

Research on CSR and Social Sustainability are broad fields that spans multiple disciplines, yet the scope of research that links CSR, social sustainability and gender is relatively small. Moreover, while there is an interest in understanding how to navigate gender relation in the workplace and market in the fields, there is limited engagement with feminist theories. The aim of this research is to

This paper investigates empirically the extent to which the time-horizon between firms’ formation and initial export activity is determined by their productivity. To this end, discrete-time duration models with time-varying covariates are employed on a sample of French fabricated metal manufacturing firms: The Cox Proportional Hazards, Weibull, and Exponential model. Controlling for industry effec

Till stor del bygger industrin på fossila bränslen som energikälla vilket har bidragit till en snabb utsläppsökning av koldioxid (CO2) i atmosfären och därmed till förödande konsekvenser för klimatet. Koldioxidinfångning och användning (CCU) är en teknologi som kan spela en viktig roll i minskningen av CO2 utsläppen och bidra till en mer cirkulär ekonomi. CCU kopplat till avfallsförbränningsanläggMany industries rely heavily on fossil fuels as energy source for their processes which has contributed to a rapid increase in anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere causing a harmful effect on the environment. Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) is a technology pathway that can play an important role in reducing CO2 emissions and contribute to a more circular economy. CCU

Undersökning av samspelet i problemlösande nätverk mellan den kommunala räddningstjänsten och andra aktörer Den generella riskbilden förändras konstant och då samhället blir mer komplext krävs det att aktörer arbetar tillsammans för att lösa problem.
