With the increasing focus on reducing emissions and making fuel efficient vehicles within the automotive industry over the past few years, new methods are constantly being investigated to improve the efficiency of the powertrain. One such method is recovering waste heat from the exhaust gases as well as the coolant using a thermodynamic cycle such as a Rankine cycle. However, most studies looking With the increasing focus on reducing emissions and making fuel efficient vehicles within the automotive industry over the past few years, new methods are constantly being investigated to improve the efficiency of the powertrain.

The amount of trips abroad made by Finns every year has been increasing steadily for 15 years. However, how Finns perceive or manage risks related to travelling abroad is not well known. Traditionally, risk management has been studied as a separate part of the daily life of people. This thesis focuses on the notion that risk management in travel practices can be better understood by applying ethno

Contributor to climate change, cities are the major responsible for a great amount of natural resource consumption and global waste production as a consequence of the ”take, make, dispose" aspects of our linear economic model. In face of this issue, Circular Economy (CE) is a new concept that seeks to decouple economic growth from the consumption of finite resources by shifting the linear eco

The development of psychological health interventions for adolescent refugees is complicated by the cultural and linguistic diversity of individuals. Additionally, both post traumatic experiences with ongoing development during the process of acculturation make a problem of psychological assessment even more complex. Those aspects are the effects of violence and traumatic loss as well as migration

This essay examines especially Russia`s role in the civil war in Syria that started on 15 March year 2011. External actors` political views, their cooperation with Russia and their interests in Syria have also been processed in this paper. My methodology consists of qualitative text analysis. An open approach was used when I have practiced my textual analysis. This means that the investigation is

Using a volume filter on daily index and stock price data the daily return has been researched. The explanatory variables used in the study are the 1 M T-Bill, the term spread - 10 Y Treasury bond versus a 3 M T-Bill -, and the oil price. The results revealed that accounting for trade volume is an important part in explaining the return of a stock or index. The volume activity provides additional

The present study seeks, with a corpus of eight Japanese works of fiction, to identify if the speech patterns of Westerners in Japanese literature have their origins in the simplified register referred to as “foreigner talk”, i.e. the register used to address non-native speakers with low linguistic competence, and also if foreigner talk is commonly used in Japanese literature for addressing non-na

Detecting and forecasting riverine floods is of paramount importance for adequate disaster risk management and humanitarian response. However, this is challenging in data-scarce and ungauged river basins in developing countries. Satellite remote sensing data offers a cost-effective, low-maintenance alternative to the limited in-situ data when training, parametrizing and operating flood models.

Popular Abstract in English Energy savings and climate change mitigation have been discussed in the world since the oil crisis in the 1970s and the building sector has been seen as one of the largest contributors to global warming effects in the world. Energy efficiency in buildings is a critical issue to be addressed in order to reduce electricity energy used in buildings and is one of the main tMozambique, situated in south-east Africa, has sub-tropical and tropical climate and plenty of natural resources for energy production. The country is however poor, and only about 25% of the population has access to electricity from the grid. A very large part of the energy used in the country is used in the residential sector, and there is a general lack of knowledge, regulations and tools concer

When a↵ected by a high spinal cord injury the first wish is to regain the ability to walk. However, in a short matter of time, the wish to use the hands increases and is considered the most desired ability to recover. The injured nerves cannot be healed, but with the use of AI technology and sensors, small preserved muscle activities can be detected. The company Tendo AB has developed a gripping a

Videogames and their potential negative effect on people has been discussed for almost six decades. Focus for most of the research is the correlation between violent videogames and aggression, however another factor that has not been researched thoroughly yet is self-control. The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a connection between extensive video game consumption and self-con

Paketering av fastigheter är idag en vanlig åtgärd inför en stundande försäljning av en eller flera fastigheter. Det vanligaste sättet att paketera en fastighet på är att ett dotterbolag bildas, varpå fastigheten överlåts till dotterbolaget till ett underpris. Om alla förutsättningar är uppfyllda kan detta göras utan att det blir någon eller endast liten skatteeffekt.

The most common way to transfer a property is to establish a subsidiary and then transfer the property to the subsidiary at a loss. If all conditions are met, this can be done with little or no tax effect. Even stamp duty may under certain circumstances be avoided. Once the pro

Sweden has never before had so many serving life sentences. Anyone sentenced to life imprisonment has the opportunity to apply to have their sentence fixed by a court. In that examination, the court must take into account various factors, including whether there is a risk that the lifer will relapse into serious crime. To help answer that question, the court has a statement from the National Board

In court case T 11396-17, a father who was previously convicted of abusing his children was entrusted with sole custody, because the mother was considered guilty of sabotaging the contact between the children and the father.

Popular Abstract in English Popular Summary Since the beginning of mankind, humans have managed to find ways to make use of the resources available at hand in order to survive and even to improve their livelihoods. The basic needs for food as well as other amenities were met from plant- and animal resources until the 19th century when industrial revolution changed the base of production to fossilAbstract Biocatalysis is considered as benign and efficient alternative to chemical catalysis for organic syntheses. Lipases are the most versatile biological catalysts implemented so far with great potential for production of different chemicals and materials in non-conventional reaction media. This thesis presents investigations on lipase catalyzed esterification and transesterification reaction
