The aviation industry continues today to be one of the main sources of green house gas emission. In order to counteract this trend, certain solutions are being invested in with one of these being the use of electro-based sustainable aviation fuels. Its drop-in ability and potential for reduction in emissions present eSAF as one of the most attractive and viable alternatives to decarbonisation of t
A great amount of financial statements of Swedish companies are registered with the Swedish companies registration office, Bolagsverket, as paper copies. These copies are then scanned and made available to the public as image-PDFs, meaning the financial information contained in them is not digitised and therefore not easily processed in an automated manner. Being able to do so, is valuable however
Problem Statement: Company Pie is planning for a new centralised distribution centre, as part of a reorganisation of their distribution network. This entails consolidating volumes from several existing facilities, and another company named Company Rho, when setting up a distribution centre configuration. Company Pie wants a second set of eyes to create a configuration, including operations, and de
I have in this thesis conducted fieldwork at the Swedish newspaper Sydsvenskan's digital media department. I was curious to find out how or if the financial instability that is currently sweeping across the newspaper industry is embodied through praxis within a department that many are eager to blame the instability for – that is, a digital media department. I wanted to pinpoint and observe re
En stor del av Östafrikas landsbygdsbefolkning är självförsörjande jordbrukare som på grund av begränsade markytor och förändrade klimatförhållanden riskerar misslyckade skördar och ökad fattigdom. I takt med att befolkningen växer blir miljöproblem som avskogning, erosion och urlakade jordar, samt övergödning av vattendrag och sjöar alltmer påtagliga. Syftet med den här studien är att kartläggaSub-Saharan Africa suffers from land degradation, depletion of natural resources and rural poverty. In the Lake Victoria Basin, where large parts of the population are small scale farmers, people are facing such issues coupled with altered climatic conditions. The focus area of this study is the Mara region in northern Tanzania, situated on the eastern lakeshore. Mara has experienced a doubling of
Den här uppsatsen kretsar kring svenska kommuners drift av gym, en företeelse som gör att kommunen agerar som aktör på den öppna marknaden. I takt med att allt mer av den offentliga och den privata sektorn har smält samman så har också antalet konkurrenskonflikter som detta kan föranleda ökat. Det privata näringslivet har under årtionden påtalat att de upplever det som ett problem och att den offeThis essay revolves around Swedish municipalities' operation of gyms, a phenomenon that makes the municipalities act as players on the open market. As more and more of the public and private sectors have merged the number of competitive conflicts that this has caused has also increased. The private sector has, for decades, complained that it feels it is an issue and that the public sector is n

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images are used to investigate the heart for medical and research purposes. By injecting a contrast substance into the patient, myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) can be visualized in CMR image sets consisting of a number of image slices at different levels of the heart. Analysis of these images can detect an infarction, delineate it and estimate its size. This
In this study global wave climates for present and future climates are simulated with the WAM model, based on wind fields from the JMA/MRI-AGCM3.2 climate projection. The projected wave fields are analysed and compared for the two periods of 1979-2003 and 2075-2099, and climate change induced differences are identified. It is found that the wave climate is strongly dependent on latitude, with the
I samband med att aktiebolag utbjuds till försäljning ställs en rad olika juridiska spörsmål på sin spets. Inför en företagsöverlåtelse bör köparen genomföra en företagsbesiktning avseende målbolaget innan transaktionen genomförs. Vid denna undersökning har både köparen och säljaren ett intresse av att målbolaget lämnar ut värdefull information, som i vissa fall kan vara konfidentiell, för att görAs a limited company is subject to an acquisition several legal issues arise. In connection with the acquisition the buyer should therefore carry out a due diligence before the transaction is completed. Both the seller and the buyer have an interest of that the target company is sharing valuable information, which could be confidential, in order to make a correct valuation of the target company. T
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) have known to be one of the most common degenerative diseases which highly correlate with lifestyle, including consumption habits. It cannot be denied that the availability and accessibility to high processed food, high in carbohydrates play an important role on increasing the risk of T2DM. On the contrary, consumers’ awareness towards health and nutrition are also
Sustainability reporting is the primary way corporate sustainability data is disseminated to stakeholders and the wider public. While sustainability reporting is growing, certain industries still lag, such as shipping. Given the crucial role sustainability reporting can play in driving sustainable business practices, promoting improved reporting in the shipping industry is a valuable goal. This t
?SEPARATE WORLDS?. School librarians teaching in information seeking in high school. The aim of this Master's thesis is to study how information seeking is taught in high school and how school librarians describe their experiences of teaching information seeking. Five school librarians from five different high schools (gymnasium) in Skåne participated in the study. The empirical data derives
Diamonds are regarded to be one of the most valuable natural resources on earth, with an average rough diamond price of $71 per carat in 2000. This gives scope for great economic success in diamond abundant countries. Some of the worlds most diamond abundant countries are found in Africa, ironically also some of the poorest. In recent years it has been brought to the world’s attention that illicit

The research is conducted by an abductive approach using theory and empirical data alternately. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been adopted in order to see changes in customer behaviour as well as expla
Kustnära putsade fasader ställda mot havet har av rapportförfattarna observerats vara i sämre skick än fasader med riktning inåt landet i samma miljö. Detta leder till hypotesen att saltvatten påskyndar nedbrytningen av kalk/cementbruk genom saltsprängning eller annan form av vittringsprocess. Ingen form av kemisk nedbrytning är rimlig då salt inte reagerar med putsens vanliga beståndsdelar. SvensOf rendered façades in coastal environment Rendered coastal-facing façades have been observed to be in worse condition than those facing away from the coastline in the same environment. This leads to the hypothesis that salt water accelerates the deterioration of render, either by salt blasting or through other forms of weathering processes. Since salt does not react with common render components,
This paper presents a front-end architecture for fully integrated 60 GHz phased array receivers. It employs LO-path beamforming using a phase controlled phase-locked loop (PC-PLL). To demonstrate the architecture a circuit is implemented featuring a two stage low noise amplifier, two cascaded active mixers, and a PC-PLL. The receiver downconverts the 60 GHz signal in two steps, using LO signals fr
De flesta aktiebolag i Sverige är fåmansföretag – vilket innebär att de ägs till övervägande del av en eller ett fåtal personer – och för dessa företag gäller särskilda skatterättsliga regler. Bakgrunden till denna särreglering är att det inte föreligger något sant tvåpartsförhållande mellan företaget och dess ägare, vilka utan särreglering därför skulle kunna skaffa sig omotiverade skattemässiga Most limited companies in Sweden are closely held companies – which mean that they are predominantly owned by one or a few persons – and for these companies there are special regulations applicable. The reason for having special regulations is that there does not exist a bilateral relationship between the company and the owner. Hence, without these special regulations the owner could receive unjus
