Abstract The present thesis is concerned with the investigation of a metalorganic catalyst, a Pt complex used for C-C or C-N single bond formation in a cross coupling reaction. The investigated catalysts are used in a homogeneous reaction. In this study I have used chemical methods for the synthesis of the catalytic materials, a number of different techniques for the characterization of the catal
This study explores how members of Myanmar’s largest political parties perceive inclusion of its citizen in the democratic process. Through a threefold aim the study has looked at how party members’ understanding of inclusion is externalised within the parties; whether these perceptions implies hindrances to Myanmar’s democratic development; and how the analytical findings can contribute to the th
The aim of this thesis is to set up a high-fidelity fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulation environment to study the gust load alleviation capability of camber-morphing airborne wind energy (AWE) wings. The simulation environment will enable studying the transient flow phenomena around the wing when encountering wind gusts and gives the possibility of investigating dynamic instabilities. To m
The consumption of single use and disposable packaging has led to significant amounts of waste. A large share of food and beverage packaging products are multi-layered aseptic cardboard packages laminated with aluminium and principally with the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic material. This multilayer design makes them poorly recyclable and causes that aluminium and LDPE layers are often i
Lay judges are used in the Swedish courts to attain a democratic representation of judges, but the system has received criticism for giving weight to political affiliation in a role that ought to be unpolitical. The aim of this study is to investigate politicization of the laymen system through lay judges’ own perspectives of their roles, and their views of the structure of the lay judge system. H
Thesis purpose: This study aims to establish an understanding of the sponsee sponsorship strategy, with the purpose of expanding on the academic understanding and narrowing the identified research gap. Methodology: A qualitative study through semi-structured interviews with Swedish elite football clubs was conducted to answer how the sponsee strategically engage in sponsorships. A qualitative re
Today rubber can be found in many different applications, such as vibration dampers, tyres, clothes and gaskets. Two different types of rubbers are used today, namely the natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is made of a milky substance called latex, which is obtained from special trees found in tropical countries. Synthetic rubber is also made from latex, but the latex is obtained
Adipic acid is considered as the most valuable dicarboxylic acid with industrial use; however, its production is heavily petroleum-based. This non-natural metabolite can be produced de novo through different metabolic pathways, one of which is the alpha-ketoacid elongation pathway. This investigation revolved around the study of the enzyme that catalyses the first +1C elongation reaction of the pa
Since ancient times, buildings have been constructed with the use of timber and during the modern era, new types of timber products have been developed. Today, more constructions, especially residential buildings are being built with timber as the main load-bearing material. By utilizing timber in buildings, the amount of greenhouse gases emitted in production decreases compared to other common ma
Education has the potential to play a critical role in the sustainable transformation of society which is needed to limit the consequences of the multiple ecological crises society is facing. While this has been recognised internationally at least since 1992, not a lot has been done within the Danish educational system to address issues of climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainability with
In 2023, the Swedish state-owned enterprise LKAB revealed that it had found Europe’s largest deposit of critical minerals, which are needed in green technology. Being located on indigenous territory, a mine would impact the migration of reindeers, a Sami practice which form the basis of their culture and status as indigenous peoples under international law. This prompted questions about what respo
As the process of business model innovation has not been highly researched on and as start-ups face the threat of failure due to a lack of a suitable business model, the purpose of this master thesis was to describe and visualise the process of business model innovation of start-ups as well as to discover the patterns within their processes. Thereby, we aim to provide a better understanding of the
The World Heritage Site the Vredefort Dome in South Africa is an area that is continuously exposed to the dangers of veldfires. In this study it was investigated how risk communication is used to raise public awareness about safe fire use, fire hazards, and veldfires. To what extent the community is reached by the communication and their level of knowledge about fire hazards and risks was also stu
The enzyme dermatan sulfate epimerase 1 epimerizes glucuronic acid on chondroitin sulfate into iduronic acid giving dermatan sulfate resulting in increased flexibility of the glycosaminoglycan. The increased flexibility results in changed interactions with some proteins such as growth factors, cytokines, and angiogenic factors, and recent studies suggest that it also plays an important role in the
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
Intraductal neoplasms of the pancreas are classified as intraductal tubulopapillary neoplasms (ITPNs) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMNs) in the current WHO classification. ITPN is a rare tumor and there are only a few cases of ITPN reported in the literature. We present the case of an otherwise healthy 42-year-old male, who presented with upper abdominal pain. He was subsequently
Patient reported outcomes (PROs) are important measures in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A register of patients with RA from all rheumatology care providers in Malmö, Sweden, was established in 1997 and has been continually updated. This register includes virtually all the RA patients in the area. The aim of this study was to analyse PROs in surveys of this population conducted between 1997 and 2009,
