It plays a crucial role in achieving national goals related to sustainable development and climate change mitigation. However, in its aim to increase competitiveness to other modes of trans

This paper examines how semi-peripheral states navigate their position between core and periphery through the lens of World-Systems Analysis (WSA) and use of soft and hard power strategies. WSA conceptualises the global economy as divided into core countries and peripheral countries. The former controls capital and high-value production, and the latter supplies raw materials and low-wage labour. S

Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) is increasingly utilized across various practical domains, requiring continual development and optimization of supporting technologies. An essential aspect of this progress is the efficient testing of WPT Systems. This thesis explores optimization of the testing process using Machine Learning(ML) and data analysis, applied on historical data represented by test outcom

Vindkraftverk är ett av samhällets främsta verktyg för en miljövänlig energiproduktion. Den konventionella designen av bladen är emellertid i stort sett oförändrad. Triblade är ny typ av design som har potentialen att revolutionera marknaden. Genom att använda en fackverksstruktur öppnar man för möjligheten att utforska andra materialval än de konventionella kol- och glasfibermaterial som anväIn the 21st century, wind power has emerged as a strong candidate in fulfilling societies goals of achieving carbon-free energy energy production. Windpower has evolved along with other technological developments, giving rise to larger turbines, but with the overall design trend remaining largely unchanged. Winfoor, a Swedish company based in Lund,aims to break that trend. With their new Triblade

The vehicle industry is making great strides in electric and hybrid technologies, representing a significant step towards reducing emissions from personal vehicles. In order to make the transition to new hybrid technologies as convincing as possible, well-functioning and smooth transitions between traditional combustion engines and electric motors are required. So-called mild hybrids enable a cos

Migration to wintering grounds is a process that a large proportion of songbirds perform every year. It has been suggested that there are differences in the migration performance between adults and juveniles due to the experience the former have over the latter, after having flown this journey before. The aim of this study was to analyse age differences regarding activity, energy deposits and depa

Ökad noggrannhet vid ATLAS experimentet Var kommer vi ifrån? Vad hände i Big Bang? Detta är exempel på några av många obesvarade frågor inom fysik. ATLAS är ett experiment vid CERN (Europeiska organisationen för kärnforskning), där tusentals forskare samarbetar med att undersöka produkterna från högenergetiska protonkollisioner, för att få svar på dessa frågor. En vanligt förekommande produkt The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) attempts to describe the fundamental particles and how they interact with each other. This model is however incomplete, as shown by various experimental observations. ATLAS is one of the experiments currently in operation at the Large Hadron Collider, which aims to search for new physics beyond the SM. To perform these searches, many ATLAS analyses look

This thesis sets the goal to contribute to the field of diaspora studies from media and communication studies perspective by focusing on the neglected migrant group of highly educated refugees and their media use. This thesis aims to explore how highly educated refugees utilize digital media in their everyday life after their migration. It also investigates how digital media use enhances and under

In this thesis I explore the conceptual relationships between Parody, the body and space in via the writer Gail Simone’s version of the comic book heroine Wonder Woman. I develop a critical re-imag(e)ination of performativity, space and the body in contemporary mass culture via Gail Simone’s Wonder Woman. As the title suggests the thesis also elaborate on sexuality understood as a phantasmatic scr

Thesis purpose: In order to contribute to Consumer Culture Theory, as well as critical dimensions in the foodie literature namely authenticity, democracy/distinction and gender, the study’s aim is to explore how discourses and socio-cultural meanings underlie identity constructions in the specific sourdough culture. Theoretical framework: As no research addresses the sourdough phenomenon directly

The construction sector is often criticized for its lack of efficiency and quality.When the construction industry is compared to the rest of the domestic manufacturing industry, the general conclusions of the industry’s low efficiency is confirmed. The purpose has been to clarify why there is no sustainable building, despite the well-developed technology that now is available. The report also exam

Background The fierce competition in the telecom industry makes operators heavily invest in acquiring new customers. This is most often done with marketing campaigns and subsidies of handsets. But to be truly profitable, it is crucial not only to attract new customers, but also to make sure they retain with the company for as long time as possible. This turns the mobile operators’ attention to cus

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kalksten är en av våra viktiga geologiska resurser och har genom historien använts till byggnadsmaterial, jordbruk och inom modern industri. Kalksten i alla dess former har varit en viktig del av människans kulturella och teknologiska utveckling. Ett av alla dess användningsområden är som flussmedel vid bearbetning av järnmalm; bränd kalk tillsätts när malmen smäQuicklime (CaO) is an important geological resource with a wide variety of industrial uses. It is a base chemical produced from the burning of limestone or dolomite. This process is referred to as calcination, during which the limestone is heated to temperatures of 900 °C or higher, resulting in the discharge of CO₂, leaving a yield of quicklime. The formula can be written as follows: Limestone:

EU-rättens arbetsrättslagstiftning hade i sitt inledningsskede främst till syfte att undvika konkurrenshinder och att säkra den fria rörligheten. Med tiden utvecklades dock arbetsrätten till att lägga större fokus på det sociala området, sociala handlingsprogram antogs och att uppnå jämlikhet mellan könen blev med tiden något eftersträvansvärt. Utvecklingen fortsatte och likabehandlingsdirektivet The labour legislation in the EU had in its early stages the purpose to avoid barriers of competition and to ensure the free movement within the union. Over time, as EU labour law developed, a greater focus was put on social matters and achieving gender equality became desirable. As a part of this development, the Equal Treatment Directive was adopted. The Directive regulated equal opportunities i

Issue of study: Today, in an information-driven economy, it is more important than ever to be innovative. Developing new ways to create and deliver value is the main method of competition in the business world. Although the picture differs widely from the industrial age, the principals used to manage these companies and employees are same as a century ago. Paying people will just make them do what

No-regret options generate net social and/or economic benefits at any climate conditions, including the present time. They are often determined as the ‘key to moving forward despite uncertainty’ This study investigate the level of recognition of no-regret adaptation strategies in the climate change policy framework in Thailand as well as to examine the approaches to raise the priority of no-regret

Metan är en effektiv växthusgas som har stor betydelse för det globala klimatet. Metanemissioner från våtmarker med underliggande permafrost anses bidra väsentligt till dynamiken som styr koncentrationen av metan i atmosfären på de nordliga breddgraderna. Under nedfrysningen av marken hösten 2007 uppmättes ett stort utsläpp av metan vid en mätstation på nordöstra Grönland. Mängden metan motsvaradeMethane is an effective greenhouse gas of vital importance to global climate. Methane emissions from permafrost dominated peatlands contribute significantly to the dynamics of the high-latitude atmospheric methane concentration. During the freezing period of autumn 2007 a large methane emission peak was recorded at a peatland in northeast Greenland. The integral of this abrupt peak was equivalent

My thesis deals with the VW-Gesetz and its compatibility with the free movement of capital (Art. 56 EC). The whole topic is highly political because Volkswagen is the biggest car-producer in Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) and provides many jobs in that area. There have been attempts to takeover the company, which have not been successful because the VW-Gesetz includes several provisions, which make

The aim of this study was to look into the discretion that the probation officer executes in cooperating with lay supervisors. In Sweden about fifty percent of the offenders sentenced to probation or on parole have lay supervisors and these supervisors are appointed by the probation officers. I asked the officers what they were looking for in a lay supervisor, certain qualifications or personaliti
