This master thesis focuses on the creation of an algorithm to perform multispectral imaging of a metallic target using X-rays. The generation of an ultrashort high-power low-divergent X-ray beam is performed by means of a Ti:Sapphire laser driven wake-field plasma accelerator. The X-rays result from synchrotron radiation, and are therefore broadband. The spectrum will be characterized, along with

As the 2022 invasions of Ukraine occurred, many tweets suggested that it was a prominent opportunity to invest and claimed that historically it has been profitable to invest during invasions. The encouraged placement of the investment was in the country committing the invasion and that is the starting point for this paper. Which is, furthermore, expanded to also investigate the performance of a gl

When it comes to obtaining funding for their venture, female entrepreneurs are at a disadvantage. Whilst obtaining funding for a venture is already a difficult task for male founders (Steigertahl & Mauer, 2018) only 2.3% of funding in venture capital goes toward female entrepreneurs (Bittner and Lau, 2021). This funding gap between male and female entrepreneurs is noticeable in different aspec

Den här uppsatsen undersöker förhållandet mellan internationella finansiella institutioner, mänskliga rättigheter och miljö. I kampen mot klimatförändringar har hållbar finansiering lyfts fram som en åtgärd för att stödja skiftet till en hållbar ekonomi. Internationella finansiella institutioner är centrala aktörer i omväxlingen mot en hållbar ekonomi och utgör de främsta tillhandahållarna av offeThis thesis examines the relationship between international finance and environmental rights, and how the concept of sustainable finance has emerged as a response to climate change and the rapid transition towards a sustainable economy. Multilateral development banks (MDBs) are a key player in the transition to a green economy, contributing to 68% of global climate finance. Thus, MBDs are the majo

The demand for integrating Corporate Social Responsibility into business has increased during recent decades. Despite the dramatic growth of demand for CSR, some researchers still criticize that it is a waste of money. However, other researchers see CSR as an opportunity and advantage to become more profitable and create a better reputation, etc. In this work, the researcher explores the driving f

Abstract: The main purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between inequality and growth through the lens of women’s financial inclusion in Sub-Sharan Africa for the period 2004-2020. Using a log-log fixed effects model on Panel data, the relationship between women’s financial inclusion, measured by female borrowers per 1000, and economic growth was examined. The results show that bot

In many post-industrial cities, the relationship between water and the city has changed over the years. Our needs are different now, and because of that, the character and usage of these locations have changed with time. From areas with production power and industrial growth, to sources of social hubs, leisure, and outdoor activities. All of these cities have the same challenge in common, to becom

Objectives: Wildlife in Kenya, much like globally, is under significant pressure. In Kenya alone, there has been a 60 percent decrease in species and the remaining wildlife is faced with habitat loss and climate change, among others. The study of conservation practices - responding to the many challenges underlying the “sixth mass extinction” - has never been more relevant. All the more so is the

After a brief introduction to the current general milk industry, the emergence of oat milk is presented, as well as shifting trends in milk consumption. This study aims to analyze oat milk precisely. The analysis is done in terms of packaging. Therefore, oat milk packaging and all the packaging elements were analyzed. After a literature review of Consumer Perception, Consumer Motivation, Consume

Entrepreneurs have certain personality traits that are evaluated by venture capitalists (VCs) when making their investment decision, which have been studied in literature. However, personality traits in ecopreneurs, or sustainable entrepreneurs, that may impact the investment decision of a sustainable venture capitalist (SVC) are not known to have been studied, and therefore warrant research oppor

Den här kvalitativa studien syftade till att undersöka hur ungdomar beskriver begreppet välmående, hur de beskriver sin självkänsla och sina egna och andras krav har för betydelse för välmående samt hur olika aktiviteter och miljöer spelar roll för välmående, enligt de själva. För att undersöka detta intervjuades åtta förstaårs gymnasieelever. Intervjuerna transkriberades och analyserades med temaThe aim of this qualitative study was to look into how adolescents describe well-being as a concept, how they describe their self-image and their own and others demands and expectations related to their wellbeing and also how the activities they do and the environments they are in relate to well-being according to themselves. To explore this, eight adolescents in their first year at a Swedish high

The Sahel has emerged as a global hotspot for terrorist activity during the first decades of the 21st century. Few empirical studies have been carried out to investigate the causes of this phenomenon. The overarching literature on the determinants of terrorism has also failed to establish conclusive mechanisms and channels of causation. Studies have found economic shocks to increase the likelihood

Lava-Java är ett projekt som tagit avstamp i arkitekturtävlingen Iceland Volcano Coffee Shop arrangerad av Buildner, tidigare Bee Breeders. Tävlingen gick ut på att rita ett café i kombination med ett besökscenter på vulkanen Hverfjall på norra Island. I det här examensarbetet har dock det föreslagna programmet ändrats om för att låta det lilla besökscentret bli ett fullvärdigt naturum. Vulkanen Lava-Java is a project based on the architecture competition Iceland Volcano Coffee Shop arranged by Buildner, formerly Bee Breeders. The goal with the competition was to create a café in combination with a visitor center on the volcano Hverfjall on northern Iceland. The volcano Hverfjall is located in an area on Iceland that is relatively uninhabited but at the same time a popular tourist destina

As cities keep densifying, essential resources such as daylight access become increasingly restricted. Therefore, prioritizing energy efficiency and enhancing the energy performance of our buildings is required for obtaining a sustainable urban environment. The challenges of implementing these ideas have triggered efforts to make cities smarter, for example, by using 3D city models for solar energ
