En av de allra största utmaningarna världen står inför idag är beroendet av fossila bränslen. För att möjliggöra en hållbar framtid för kommande generationer måste vi minska beroendet av fossila råvaror och utveckla användningen av förnyelsebara resurser. Utvecklingen av förnyelsebara material är ett område som kan göra en stor skillnad i vägen mot en mer hållbar framtid. Med det enorma behovet avWith a mission to reduce the dependency of fossil-based plastics, the collaboration company to this master thesis project has developed and patented a technology that enables plastic production from wood fibers. The fibers of the company have been chemically treated in order to be more “plastic like” and thereby easier to mix and disperse with conventional or biobased plastics, to create a granula

The concept of poverty as a development and a security issue has been fairly commonplace since the end of Cold War and poverty has been gaining importance in the security agenda of the EU throughout the years. Thus Lisbon Treaty has legally and instructionally enhanced the Union’s capacities to ensure policy coherence and has given poverty reduction utmost importance among its development cooperat

Popular science summary As the climate warms and species move northwards, some species encounter populations of a similar species. In this case, the banded demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx splendens is moving north, further into Fennoscandia than it has been known to go before, and is meeting populations of the beautiful demoiselle damselfly Calopteryx virgo. Males of both species set up and defen

The title, “for she loved much”, stems from Luke 7:47. The aim of this essay is to interpret Luke 7:36-50 using the method of narrative criticism, since the structure and rhythm of the episode is similar to the structure of a novel.

After the discovery of graphene in 2004, a single layer of graphite, the assembly of 2D materials became a promising research area in solid state Physics. This thesis explores fabrication of 2D-heterostructures that aim to probe into graphene’s electronic structure with the Tunneling Field Effect Transistor (TFET). In the fabrication process, we used mechanical exfoliation to obtain monolayer gra

The type of pattern recognition methods used for controlling modern prosthetics, referred to here as single-label classification methods, restricts users to a small amount of movements. One prominent reason for this is that the accuracy of these classification methods decreases as the number of allowed movements is increased. In this work a possible solution to this problem is presented by looking

Internationellt samarbete är centralt för att ta itu med de globala utmaningar som världen står inför, en av dessa är spridningen av antimikrobiell resistens. Åtgärder, som begränsar den internationella handeln, används ofta av länder för att uppnå politiska mål. I Världshandelsorganisationen (WTO) har relation mellan handel och icke-ekonomiska politiska mål, som miljö- och hälsohänsyn, diskuteratInternational cooperation is central in addressing the challenges facing the global community, one of them being the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Measures that affect international trade are often used by governments to achieve domestic policy goals. In the World Trade Organization (WTO), the relationship between trade and non-economic policy goals, such as environmental and health concerns

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur organisatoriskt lärande påverkar transaktionskostnader. Tidigare forskning indikerar att transaktionskostnadsteorins beskrivning av lärande behöver kompletteras för att ge en mer fullständig förståelse för de bakomliggande mekanismerna till företags agerande. Studien syftar därmed till att ge en mer övergripande förståelse för transaktionskostnadsteorin. StuThe purpose of this study is to examine how organisational learning affects transaction costs. Previous research implies that more research needs to be done to further develop the Transaction Cost Theory in order to give a broader understanding of transaction cost economics and the underlying mechanisms of firms’ actions. Hence, this study aims to give a more broad understanding by incorporating o
