Popular Abstract in Swedish Sotpartiklar i atmosfären är en del av klimatfrågan som är i särskilt stort behov av utredning. Dessutom har det visat sig, att samma partiklar orsakar mycket stora hälsoproblem; globalt, på Europeisk nivå, och till och med i förhållandevis förskonade länder som Sverige. Vi vet nu nästintill helt säkert att mänsklig påverkan leder oss in i ett varmare klimat. Vi behöveAerosol particles contribute significantly to the global burden of disease, and remain the main source of uncertainty in assessments of human-induced climate change. The microphysical characterization of particles is necessary to understand the roles they play in the detrimental effects of air pollution on human health, and in the energy budget of our planet. Soot particles are especially relevant

Den biologiska mångfalden fortsätter att minska trots att det såväl nationellt som internationellt finns en målsättning om att förlusten av den biologiska mångfalden ska hejdas. Idag anses en av de största miljöpolitiska utmaningarna vara att stoppa utarmningen av biologisk mångfald. Skogen utgör livsmiljö för hälften av alla landlevande arter i Sverige och ett hållbart skogsbruk är således livsavBiodiversity is in decline despite international and national goals of preventing this development. Preserving biodiversity is one of today’s greatest environmental policy challenges. Currently, half of all land living species in Sweden live in the forest, therefore a sustainable forestry industry is vital to ensure biodiversity. In fact, half of all red-listed species live in the forest. One of t

In this thesis I suggest a definition on what right-wing populism is by comparing three right-wing populist parties; the Swedish Democrats (SD) in Sweden, the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) in Great Britain and the Alternative for Germany (AFD) in Germany. This is my question formulation. I have used the idea analysis to make the concept of right-wing populism more understandable. The ob

Environmental Education [EE] was created in the pursuit of providing specific targets to promote environmental, knowledge, attitudes, skills, participation and creating the societal shift. India was perhaps one of the first nations to have internalized EE in primary school curriculums, however, its application is still far from flawless. Teachers have often been observed as they take a central rol

A lattice model for fibril formation on the basis of general peptide interactions is presented. Fibrils are well-structured protein aggregates and a key phenomenon in many diseases, among them Alzheimer. We study the model’s equilibrium and kinetic properties using Wang-Landau sampling and a Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm with cluster moves. The peptides are shown to form ordered fibrilar aggreg

The purpose of the study is to examine how companies are applying employer branding in social media and how these activities affect potential employees’ engagement. Engagement on social media has been analyzed according to the cognitive, emotional and behavioral dimensions using a mixed method content analysis.

Det huvudsakliga syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilket skydd svensk lagstiftning stadgar mot barn- och tvångsäktenskap samt bakgrunden till detta skydd och hur skyddet förhåller sig till mänskliga rättigheter samt kulturella och religiösa normer kring äktenskap. Synen på äktenskapets syfte och ingående varierar stort mellan olika normsystem och är till stor del beroende av vilket samhälleThe main purpose of this paper is to investigate what protection Swedish legislation provides against child and forced marriages as well as the background to this protection and how it relates to human rights and cultural and religious norms regarding marriage. The view on matrimonial purpose and conclusion varies greatly between different norm systems and is largely dependent on what kind of soc

In ADB Safegate's airfield lighting product portfolio, two sizes of LED inset luminaires consist of similar internal components with different design. This project has investigated the possibilities to find generic design solutions for the internal components to fit both product sizes. By using modularized components the company will decrease the indirect costs of the product, for instance cos

Sugarcane ethanol prodcution is expected to grow in the Sao Paulo state. Pontal do Paranapanema is the only region in the state where a large scale sugarcane expansion can take placré and this expansion wil

Detta examensarbete undersöker möjligheter och utmaningar med sjukresor i Sverige, med fokus på hur olika regioner hanterar transporter för patienter samt de problem som finns kopplade till tillgänglighet och kostnadseffektivitet. Studien syftar till att jämföra regionernas regler och krav för sjukresor samt att utvärdera tillgängligheten i den ordinarie kollektivtrafiken i Skåne. Om den allmänna This thesis investigates the opportunities and challenges of patient transport services in Sweden, focusing on how different regions manage transportation for patients and the associated issues of accessibility and cost efficiency. The study aims to compare regional regulations and requirements for patient transport while also evaluating the accessibility of public transportation in Skåne. If regu

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en avsevärd del av Sveriges klimatpåverkan och resursanvändning, där stålproduktionen är en betydande faktor. Trots att stål är ett material med hög återvinningsgrad är direktåterbruket av bärande stålkomponenter i dagsläget begränsat. Detta utgör en outnyttjad potential för att minska koldioxidutsläpp och främja en cirkulär ekonomi, där Design för Demontering The construction and real estate sector accounts for a considerable share of Sweden's climate impact and resource use, with steel production being a significant factor. Although steel is a material with a high recycling rate, the direct reuse of load-bearing steel components is currently limited. This represents an untapped potential for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and promoting a circul

This study focuses on the national system for knowledge-driven management within Swedish healthcare. The study combines theories of governance and implementation with the aim of both analyze the system of knowledge-driven management descriptively, and how it is implemented by local actors. By using text analysis and interviews, the main finding is the complex reality of the system, involving actor

In recent years, Swedish municipalities have introduced programs that combine Swedish language education with vocational training. However, due to the novelty and lack of an established framework, data and research on their effectiveness in improving immigrant labour market performance is limited. This essay addresses this gap by estimating the causal effect of vocational training combined with Sw
