The European solar energy business faces the challenge of developing more cost-effective solar energy systems and one solution could be using concentrating hybrid PVT systems. Two such hybrids, the Swedish systems MaReCo and Solar8, are evaluated in this study. MaReCo is a fixed concentrating system with a high angle of acceptance. Solar8 is a new system, which is under development. It is inspired
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgörs av en detaljerad studie av ett enskilt antikt byggnadsverk – Caecilia Metellas mausoleum. Detta gravmonument tillhörde en högättad romersk kvinna och är beläget intill Via Appia strax utanför Rom. Byggnaden utmärker sig bland annat genom sin storlek, men också genom sin högst ovanliga arkitektoniska utformning. Syftet med studien är att söka förstå dThe present thesis constitutes a close study of a single architectural monument, the tomb of Caecilia Metella. This is a well-preserved cylindrical tomb situated on the Via Appia outside Rome, and it is generally associated with sepulchral buildings of the traditional tumulus type. An inscription reveals that the occupant of the grave was a noble woman belonging to one of the most prestigious fami
Focusing new teacher students has at least two different implications. The students are new in the meaning of being first term students. Analyses of the recruitment to teacher education show that the new students have other social characteristics than before. During the last two decades fewer students from academic families and fewer students with high degrees from upper secondary school have ent
Forskningsrapporten är en studie av den förhandlande subnationella regionen med Skåne som empirisk fallstudie. Den utforskar betydelsen av förhandlingsmakt i regionaliseringsprocessen genom att göra tre antaganden: 1) Förhandlingar utgör ett centralt inslag i västeuropeisk regionalisering. 2) Förhållandet mellan stat och region kan beskrivas som ett asymmetriskt beroende, liknande det mellan stark
Since the early 1990s, we have witnessed how the system of asylum law reacts to the relativization of the nation-state in the global domain. The growing emphasis on cultural aspects in the conceptualization of "being persecuted" has stressed the dimension of positive obligations. This emphasis has widened the discretionary margin of decision makers. The substantive vacuum at the "human rights core
This paper presents a novel application which implements a way of adding sound breadcrumbs to the environment. We report results from initial user tests which suggest that this type of design could be useful for a wide range of mobile location based applications.
The matter of who appropriates the economic value created by a firm’s resources and capabilities has remained largely unresolved in strategic management. The aim of the paper is to highlight some of the shortcomings of established strategic management theory in explaining value appropriation, outline key examples of value appropriation mechanisms, and empirically illustrate the link between these
Here, we present the first two Swedish cases of Conserved Oligomeric Golgi complex subunit 6-congenital disorders of glycosylation (COG6-CDG). Their clinical symptoms include intellectual disability, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), delayed brain myelinization, progressive microcephaly, joint laxity, hyperkeratosis, frequent infections, and enamel hypoplasia. In one family, compoun
Questions of authority are perennial. Authority has been and still is a key topic in many studies of history, society, literature, and religion, just as it is a key issue in contemporary societies. In spite of the scholarly attention, authority continues to have an elusive quality.Reframing Authority provides new perspectives by focusing on the role of materiality and media for questions of author
In this perspective article, we call for more engagement with the unexplored politics of residual emissions. Residual emissions are those emissions that remain at the point of net zero, despite abatement efforts. Unlike carbon dioxide removal, which has been the focus of a lively research and policy debate, the notion of residual emissions remains relatively unexplored so far. With the mainstreami
While emigration and population displacements have long been a feature of Iraqi history, this article argues that the 2003 Anglo-American intervention in Iraq and its legacy has contributed to the gradual disappearance of many non-Muslim Iraqi minorities from Iraq. Though the legacy of 2003 can be attributed to a confluence of domestic and geopolitical factors, it is argued here that the 2003 inte
