In the face of climate change, a fast global switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy is imperative. In the Netherlands however, prospects for such a switch are bleak. With 6% renewables its progress is lagging, and vested interests hold back change. The transition is failing. This thesis provides an alternative, by identifying a new solution to the sluggish transition, a new agent that could
En ny trend inom användandet av Business Intelligence (BI) är inriktningen mot operationella arbetsuppgifter istället för långsiktiga strategiska användningsområden, vilket inte kräver någon specialistkunskap och möjliggör så kallad Self-Service BI. Forskning inom organisationsteori och BI har visat att det finns faktorer som kan påverka BI-användares inflytande och makt inom organisationer. Ur de
In this thesis work, a highly linear passive attenuator and mixer were designed to be used in a wide-band Transmission Observation Receiver (TOR). The TOR is a low IF receiver that accepts RF frequencies from 2GHz to 7GHz, and produces corresponding IF bandwidths of 280MHz to 990MHz respectively, using low side LO injection. The dynamic range is maximized by using passive topologies for both the a
The thesis provides an overview of the relationship between tax treaties and domestic law and issues that arise if a contracting state uses domestic anti-avoidance rules to prevent the improper use of a tax treaty. Improper use of a tax treaty is an issue addressed in the BEPS Action 6 report. The suggestion is to include a limitation-on-benefits clause in the OECD Model Convention, a principal pu
Humor is a big part of people's everyday life and social interactions, although we don’t consider humor and social work as a natural combination. We have interviewed Swedish social workers and asked them about their perspective on humor and how they use it in their work. We analyzed the material using superiority theory and the dramaturgical perspective to find which functions and norms they r

The study was conducted through interviews with eight different personnel from five different group homes, all of them working with individuals with intellectual disabilities. The analysis was based on theories of power – relational power, different ways power can

In this thesis a preliminary evaluation of the potential of a leghemoglobin (Lb) for the development of a blood substitute in humans, resembling hemoglobin (Hb) in red blood cells, was conducted. Leghemoglobin B (VfLbB), a gene from Vicia faba, was cloned into a pET-DEST42 vector, using the Gateway™ recombination technology. The recombinant vector containing VfLbB was sequenced and confirmed. Then
Bakgrund: Vårdrelaterade infektioner (VRI) utgör ett stort problem, där vanligaste smittvägen är kontaktsmitta via personalens händer. Den viktigaste åtgärden för minskning av vårdrelaterade infektioner är att applicera basala hygienrutiner. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om skillnad förelåg i följsamheten av basal handhygien mellan anestesisjuksköterskor och anestesiläkare på kirurgi
This paper consists of a literature study and laboratory experiments of magnesium oxide boards, from Swedish suppliers, that is a part of a larger research project. Lately the boards have become known for the way they absorb moisture which has led to damage on adjacent materials. The boards are inorganic and are marketed as moisture proof. The purpose of the larger research project is to identify
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of behavioral change oriented measures to address climate change problems. Municipalities in Sweden already work with these kinds of measures, but they find it hard to apply for funding since it’s often a requirement to show the emission reductions of each project. The initial part of the study aims to understand how the members of the Climate
