The success of energy transitions in India depends on the feasibility of rapid expansion of solar power. How fast solar power can be expanded depends on its profitability, which has not been systematically analysed in prior literature. This paper answers three questions – (i) What is the profitability of utility scale solar power in six selected states in India (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra,
14 april 2026 08:15 till 09:30 | Seminarium Biodiversity is being depleted. When species disappear, it affects much more than nature itself – our food supply, our livelihoods, vital ecosystem services, future medical breakthroughs and places for recreation are all at stake. The loss of biodiversity is driven by several interacting forces. Habitats are being destroyed by changes in land use, climat

The exhibition “Coded Threads” traces threads from the origin of the digital, the woven fabric, into today’s and tomorrow’s digital realities. The loom is the basis of binary coding: the thread can go over or under the warp, be a one or a zero. The thread is

Popular Abstract in Swedish Patienten med underbensamputation på grund av kärlsjukdom Långt före Kristi födelse var amputation av benet en känd operation. Anledningen till amputationen kunde vara kärlsjukdom, olycksfall, tumör eller medfödda missbildningar. I västvärlden idag utförs 90 % av amputationerna på grund av kärlsjukdom. Dessa patienter är äldre och sjukare än övriga benamputerade och meThe patient with unilateral trans-tribal amputation for vascular disease. Functional assessments, prognostic factors and cost of prostheses. The aims of the study were to focus on the functional ability of the dysvascular patient with unilateral trans-tibial amputation and the early rehabilitation period, defined here as the period between the amputation and the prosthetic fitting. Results revea
Although previously disputed, it is now clear that the demands from avian incubation put parents under considerable energetic stress, sometimes to an extent where the costs of incubation constrain clutch size evolution. However, the behavioural mechanisms involved in manifesting such costs remain largely unknown. We manipulated the demands of incubation by enlarging and reducing clutch size during
This article argues that the body of foreign direct investment (FDI) literature in general and the ownership, location, and internalization (OLI) paradigm in particular would be enriched if finance-specific factors are explicitly incorporated as drivers of FDI. We suggest that financial strategies involving factors such as debt/equity swaps or equity listings in foreign equity markets affect the f
Introduction: Life-history theory predicts that organisms trade off survival against reproduction. However, the time scales on which various consequences become evident and the physiology mediating the cost of reproduction remain poorly understood. Yet, explaining not only which mechanisms mediate this trade-off, but also how fast or slow the mechanisms act, is crucial for an improved understandin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom en art finns individer av olika kvalitet dvs. med olika förmåga att föra sina gener vidare till nästa generation. Förutom genetiska skillnader, kan sådana kvalitetsskillnader bero på miljömässigt orsakad variation. Av speciellt intresse är effekter som uppstår genom att den tidiga uppväxtmiljön varierar. Dessa effekter har föreslagits vara av vikt för fåglars överlVariation in growth conditions during ontogeny may result in permanent differences in individual quality. This thesis focuses on how starlings are affected by environmental variation during the nestling period. Both landscape differences in food availability and experimental food supplementation affected survival and growth of nestlings. During benign conditions, nestlings reached a larger morphol
In this paper we empirically test the role of firm-specific financial characteristics as drivers of international investment and production. We hypothesize that financial strength generates advantages that can be exploited through cross-border investment activity. The hypothesis is tested in a series of binary-response models, using a sample of 1379 European non-financial firms' international acqu
Previous studies have presented divergent estimates of the cost of illness of COPD due to differences in methodology. The objective of this study was to examine differences between register-based estimates versus population-based estimates on the burden of COPD. This study therefore examined differences in costs of COPD among physician-diagnosed and un-diagnosed subjects. During a one-year period,
Popular Abstract in English Malnutrition is one of the problems affecting many developing countries, sometimes leading to disease and death. Complementary foods, especially infant porridges prepared by families in rural areas, are based on plants (cereals, roots and tubers). These porridges are mainly composed of starch, and when mixed with hot water the starch gelatinizes and swells, resulting inChild malnutrition is one of the major health problems in many developing countries and involves many sectors such as health, agriculture and research. Malnutrition in infants usually develops during the introduction of complementary foods, due to a deficit of nutrients, low energy density and the poor bioavailability of vitamins and minerals leading, in turn, to an increase in the risk of disease
Viable city logistics are built on a sound business model that considers the financial viability and performance, and the role of externalities and stakeholders. To this end, the purpose of this dissertation is to increase understanding of how a business model can contribute to achieving viable city logistics initiatives.The research presented is qualitative and consists of three studies and five
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an established method to assess the various environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a building. The goal of this project was to calculate the environmental releases for a whole office building and investigate the contribution in terms of environmental impact for different parts of the building, as well as the impact from different stages of the life cLife cycle assessment (LCA) is an established method to assess the various environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a building.

Nepal is one of the largest recipients of remittances compared to the size of the economy, reaching 30,1% of GDP in 2018. This makes understanding them, their effects, and how to positively impact that an important policy tool. Additionally, remittances outpace both Official Development Aid and Foreign Direct Investments for Low- and Middle-Income countries. It has become increasingly apparent
UN resolution 1325 on empowering women has its tenth anniversary 2010. The Swedish government subsidiary the Folke Bernadotte Academy and Swedish military evaluated the practical implementation of the resolution in Afghanistan. This thesis investigates if women’s emancipation in accordance with resolution 1325 may spoil the peace process. The thesis main focus is on the Swedish action plan and its
