Climate change and its associated challenges may have an impact on people and communities. Studies provide conceptual and empirical insight of the relationship between social capital and resilience. However, the social dimensions of resilience have received little attention in climate change research. This short article provides a rapid review of published studies that investigate the social dimen
Spark ablation is an established method for generating aerosol nanoparticles. By changing the electrodes, synthesis of monometallic, multimetallic and semiconducting nanoparticles has been demonstrated. Apart from using electrodes of specific composition, compositional tuning of bimetallic nanoparticles during synthesis has recently been demonstrated (Kohut, et al., 2021). In many applications, it
The Personal Software Process (PSP) is launched as a means for improving software development capabilities for the individual engineer. It is proposed that it should be used in software engineering curricula: some authors propose it to be used already during the first student year: The PSP course is successfully given for graduate students at Lund University since 1996. During the spring semester
Controlling polymer thin-film morphology and crystallinity is crucial for a wide range of applications, particularly in thin-film organic electronic devices. In this work, the crystallization behavior of a model polymer, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), during spin-coating is studied. PEO films were spun-cast from solvents possessing different polarities (chloroform, THF, and methanol) and probed via i
The dynamics of ethanol production/consumption in baker's yeast were studied under feed- rate controlled conditions. The yeast was grown on molasses in an 8-l fed-batch reactor and experiments were done at cell concentrations between 5 and 65 g l−1. Small changes in the feed rate were made around a feed rate corresponding to the critical growth rate, at which the yeast cell metabolism switches bet
A key open question in the study of multiparticle production in high-energy pp collisions is the relationship between the "ridge"-i.e., the observed azimuthal correlations between particles in the underlying event that extend over all rapidities-and hard or semihard scattering processes. In particular, it is not known whether jets or their soft fragments are correlated with particles in the underl
This paper aims to redress the under-appreciated significance of rent for political ecological analysis. We introduce the notion of value grabbing, defined as the appropriation of (surplus) value through rent. A concept that is analytically distinct from accumulation, rent is both a social relation and a distributional process that is increasingly central to the reproduction of contemporary capita
This thesis explores the intersections between social science and filmmaking practice through engaging with community filmmaking practice in Sweden. The main area of interest is to explore how feminist theory and methodology in social science can inform discussions in documentary filmmaking practice, both aiming to transform the oppressive narratives and empower voices from marginalized and minori
De svenska tillverkarna av ultralätta mikroflygplan, Blackwing Sweden AB, har lämnat en förfrågan gällande uppdatering av den justerbara mekanismen tillhörande roderpedal-systemet i flygplansmodellen BW600RG. Det nuvarande manuella systemet anses bristfälligt sett till den icke ergonomiska justeringsprocessen som för övrigt kräver att flygplanet är stationärt. Målet med detta projekt var att framfThe Swedish ultralight aircraft manufacturer, Blackwing Sweden AB, has requested a reinvention of their adjustable mechanism for the rudder pedal system in the BW600RG aircraft. The current manual system is insufficient in terms of a non-ergonomic adjustment process which requires for the aircraft to be stationary. The ambition of this project was to deliver a concept covering a fully automated ad
Studiens syfte var att studera chefers uppfattningar och erfarenheter av funktionen rehabkoordinator och nyttan av den utbildning som rehabkoordinatorn har genomgått. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med tio chefer inom sjukvården. Datamaterialet analyserades med tematisk analys utifrån en induktiv ansats. Fyra teman urskildes: Räddaren i nöden, Funktionen som blev en person, Förändring tar tThe aim of the study was to investigate how health care service managers perceive and experience the newly introduced function rehabilitation coordinator and the effect of the education programme. A semi-structured interview guide was used to interview ten managers. The material was analysed with an inductive approach using thematic analysis. The following four themes were identified during analys
Minorities falling under the Article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil, Cultural and Political rights, that is, individuals belonging to national, ethnic, religious or linguistic minorities possess characteristics that form part of their identity and differ from the characteristics possessed by the majority population of the state. Because of these particularities, minorities can be often
Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is a way of constructing roads with less climate impact. However, the RAP often contain moisture which is known to be disadvantageous for the final product and will at the same time increase the production cost. A manufacturing method that also aims have less impact on the environment is NCC Green Asphalt. The method allows a lower manufacturing temperature than a c
This research project provides insights in how knowledge workers make sense of their context of job insecurity in terms of motivation and aims to develop a theoretical understanding on motivation from a more conceptual point of view. There are several universally acknowledged motivation theories that claim to explain what motivates people. According to these theories, the job-threatening situation
Oxytocin (OT) is a small neuropeptide, which is present in human plasma at extremely low endogenous levels of only a few pg/ml. It is mainly involved during labour and lactation but it has recently also been found that OT is involved in social behaviours like bonding and feeling empathy. During the last couple of years, the interest in OT has been raised and due to the matrix complexity, it is ver
Sammanfattning Den kanske största miljöpolitiska utmaningen inom Europa är för närvarande frågan om hur det är möjligt att på ett effektivt och ändamålsenligt sätt uppnå miljömålen i syfte att skapa en hållbar utveckling i samhället. Trenden har gått från att tillgripa lagstiftningsåtgärder till att via marknadsbaserade styrmedel försöka involvera olika marknadsaktörer att på egen hand bli delaktSummary Potentially one of the greatest environmental policy challenges in the European Union is the question of how to efficiently and effectively achieve environmental goals through which society can correct for and obtain a level of sustainable development. The trend has gone from one of command and control legislation towards using more market-based instruments that seek to involve the differ
Bakgrund: I dagens föränderliga samhälle stannar inte individer inom samma organi- sation arbetslivet ut, utan det blir allt vanligare att folk utbildar sig och ändrar karriärer. En äldre generation är på väg att bli utbyt av en yngre och många gamla erfarna med mycket kunskap kommer lämna sina arbeten. På grund av detta ställs nya krav på orga- nisationer, där kunskapen som finns måste tas tillva
This Master thesis was conducted at ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems AB (TKMS AB), formerly known as Kockums AB. TKMS AB is based in Malmö, Sweden and is a manufacturer of conventionally powered submarines. The next generation of submarines, type A26, is currently under development and introduces many new features compared to prior submarine designs. Following increased fire and sound reduction demands
