A recent example of a sanctions regime unsuccessful in realizing its ostensible goal is that of the U.S. ‘maximum pressure’ campaign against Venezuela between 2017 – 2022, which did not succeed in removing the incrementally authoritaria

The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to push the limits of 3D X-ray imaging by studying the minimum number of projections required to retrieve high-quality reconstructions for additive manufacturing processes. This project first focuses on understanding how X-ray tomography works, by reconstructing additive manufacturing data already obtained (from PSI, TOMCAT beamline) using two standard recon

This thesis presents a case study of an indoor Green Wall (GW) installed in an office building in Malmö, Sweden. The study analyzed the effect of the GW on air humidity during low temperature and dry moisture outdoor conditions. The objective was to determine the green wall's indoor humidity contribution while enabling an adequate comparison before and after the GW installation, which requires

Sveriges geologiska undersökning (SGU) har ägnat flera år åt att undersöka den svenska berggrunden för att utreda möjligheterna för geologisk lagring av koldioxid. Djupt liggande akviferer anses ha störst potential och den kambriska Faluddensandstenen, som finns i Östersjön öster om Gotland, visar stor potential som lagringsakvifer. I denna studie har borrkärnan St. Sutarve-2018 från södra GotlandThe Geological Survey of Sweden (SGU) has spent several years investigating the Swedish bedrock to find suitable bedrock for geological storage of carbon dioxide. Deep saline aquifers are considered to have the greatest potential, and the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone subcropping in the Baltic Sea east of Gotland, shows great potential as a storage aquifer. In this study, the drill core St. Sutarve

The European union has been aggressively pushing forward with policies favoring renewable sources of energy. As a result, the share of intermittent renewables in the European power grid is rising and is expected to grow even more in the coming decade. The Swedish energy agency also forecast huge growth in wind power. This creates a parallel growing demand for electricity storage solutions for both

Multidose injectable formulations require a preservative such as phenol to ensure sterility and protection against microbial contamination during clinical use. However, it is known that the interaction between these components and non-ionic surfactants such as polysorbate 80, also found in this type of formulations, present incompatibilities, which can lead to decreases in the efficacy of the prod

På gående fot färdas man hastigt mellan kontinenterna. Venedigbiennalen är en plats där länder kan se världen och samtidigt synas för världen.

In this bachelor thesis, an explorative theoretical analysis is presented on a model system characterized by various and competing magnetic interactions. The system comprises two localized magnetic moments (spins), and a single itinerant electron that hops between two orbitals located at the spins’ positions. The spins, treated as either fully quantum, hybrid quantum-classical, or fully classical,
