The threat of potentially catastrophic climate change has led to 195 countries pledging to keep global average temperature rise well below 2°C based on pre-industrial levels. Wind energy technology has developed to a point where it can make a significant contribution to meeting this objective. A number of countries have developed substantial wind energy networks in recent years which in turn has a

Steg 1: Sätt mål. Steg 2: Glöm dem inte! Sverige och världen står inför en stor utmaning. Klimatet håller på att förändras utöver vad som är naturligt och sannolikt står världens befolkning inför en drastisk förändring som kommer att påverka samhället. Det krävs en anpassning till de här förändringarna på internationell, nationell, regional och lokal nivå och den här studien fokuserar på en av måThis study has been conducted in cooperation with the County Administrative Board of Halland and the results will be used as input for the Board in the upcoming revision of their currently working energy- and climate strategy. The study shows the importance of goal formulation in goal-oriented documents, in this case energy- and climate strategies belonging to the different County Administrative B

Ecotourism has been touted globally as a tool that promotes sustainable development. Yet ecotourism and sustainable development are neither simple to define, nor straightforward in regards to their implementation. The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate ecotourism’s relationship to sustainable development. In doing so it develops its own conceptual framework on the sustainability goals

This master thesis is based on the need for an efficient and user-friendly cleaning device adapted for golf clubs. The background and the idea for this project comes from the author himself, who is an experienced golfer. The market need is determined partly from a market research and partly from an interview with a former employee at a golf club. Both the commercial and private market shows an int

Enantioselective synthesis is an important research topic with applications in drug development. Asymmetrical catalysis is one of the available ways of producing enantioenriched products. C2-Symmetric dibenzo[a,e]cyclooctenes or dbCOTs are a family of versatile chiral ligands for transition metals. They display great efficiency and enantioselectivity in 1,2- and 1,4- additions reactions. In this

Att polisen använder sig av provokativa åtgärder i brottsbekämpningen är i viss mån accepterat i Sverige. Brottsprovokation och bevisprovokation anses vara nödvändiga metoder för att bekämpa allvarlig och organiserad brottslighet och har blivit ett allt vanligare inslag i polisens arbete sedan början av 1980-talet. Sedan dess har även en förändring skett vad gäller inställningen till den provoceraThe use of provocative investigative measures is in Sweden an accepted method in the control of crime. These measures are considered to be essential parts in the fight against serious and organized criminality and have become a more commonly used instrument for the police since the early 1980’s. Since then, there has been a change concerning how a criminal is treated legally after being subject to

In this report heat quantity measuring and temperature regulation of smaller heating networks have been studied. At lower flows, as well as at lower difference temperatures, the accuracy of the measurement is very low. Today's control of a heating plant endeavour to let the temperature of the water into the heating network follow the heat requirement. This control strategy leads to small heat

Increased awareness regarding nutrition, environmental sustainability, and animal welfare has sparked a trend to shift away from animal proteins. The phenomenon is referred to as the protein shift and has resulted in a higher demand for alternative protein sources. This dissertation aims to study potential opportunities and challenges of using recombinant food proteins expressed in Escherichia col

Despite being their closest evolutionary relatives, chimpanzees have a substantially different brain compared to humans: Homo sapiens display larger and more complex forebrains, although the protein-coding genes between the two species are basically unchanged. Therefore, differences in the transcriptome and in regulatory networks must be further investigated to better understand the dissimilaritie

Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka, analysera och diskutera försvarlighetsbedömningar vid förtal enligt brottsbalken. Uppsatsen söker svaret på hur bedömningen går till samt hur den bör gå till. Undersökningen är begränsad till att omfatta förtal begångna på sociala medier då någon blivit utpekad som brottsling. Uppsatsen avhandlar även aspekten vad som är relevant vid en försvarlighetsbedömning vid föThis paper investigates, analyzes and discusses defense assessments in slander cases, as defined by the Swedish Penal Code. It looks at how assessments currently proceed rela- tive to how they could potentially be handled differently. This survey is limited to cover- ing slander committed on social media when someone has been singled out as a criminal. Our thesis also addresses what is relevant in

Equipment installation at MAX IV, a state-of-the-art particle accelerator in Sweden, requires accuracy and precision in the range of micrometers. The measurement technology used is laser tracking, with which the position of a movable reflector is determined, by reflecting the laser beam emitted from a stationary tracker. Data describing the real-time position of the reflector is handled in a softw

Potential use of circulating tumor DNA as a biomarker in children’s cancer Pediatric cancer is the second most common cause of death in children in the developed countries, even though a highly improvement in diagnostic tools and treatment strategies occurred in the last decade. Cancer patients have to endure long treatments with many side effects, with possible multiple surgeries, and radiation.

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt den litteräre arketypen jurodivyj eller ”dåre för Kristi skull” och hur denna har utvecklats i den ryska litteraturen. Jag har kommit fram till att karaktärstypen kan porträtteras väldigt annorlunda från hur verklighetens exempel på heliga dårar har framställts i de hagiografiska helgonberättelserna. De underliggande skälen till denna utveckling går att hitta hos In this thesis, I have examined the literary archetype of the yurodivy or “fool for Christ’s sake” and how it has developed within Russian literature. I find that the character may be portrayed significantly different from the real-life yurodivy depicted in the hagiographic tales. The roots for this development are mainly found in Fyodor Dostoevsky, who constructed what is called the “stylized hol

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors like transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers have garnered significant interest in the recent past due to their extraordinary opto-electronic properties, along with the possibility to seamlessly stack these layers into atomically precise van der Waals heterostructures. Type-II 2D semiconductor heterostructures show photoinduced interlaye

In line with the development of modern communication technology, computer-mediated-communication is playing a crucial role in how people interact and communicate. One forum in which such interaction can be conducted is the online professional social network LinkedIn. In this study we examine how entrepreneurs, conscious or unconsciously, make use of impression management strategies in a textual se

Innebörden av etableringsfriheten är att för juridiska personer kunna flytta sin verksamhet och dess säte till ett annat medlemsland, utan att för den delen behöva ombildas från grunden upp i det andra landet. Dock är detta inte så enkelt som man kan tro utan det finns en del inskränkningar som försvårar rätten till fri etablering, bland annat de lagvalsprinciper som de olika medlemsländerna använThe purpose of the freedom of establishment is for legal persons to be able to move their business and its registered office to another Member State within the European Union, without having to be transformed from the ground up in the other country. However, this is not as simple as one might think since there are some restrictions that make the right to free establishment more difficult, includin

Sammanfattning Jordens befolkning förväntas öka de kommande årtiondena. Detta kan skapa osäkerhet kring livsmedelsförsörjning och kräver en mer produktiv livsmedelssektor samt metoder för att bedöma tillgång på livsmedel i förhållande till efterfrågan. Utvecklandet av lågkostnadsmetoder för övervakning av grödor kan stödja en hållbar intensifiering av jordbruket och tillhandahålla användbar inforAbstract The population of earth is projected to increase the coming decades. This can pose problems of food security and demands a more productive food sector as well as methods of assessing food productivity in relation to demand. Crop monitoring with remote sensing can guide precision farming used for sustainable intensification of agriculture, as well as contribute to yield forecasting models

The purpose of this study has been to analyze the social services' information texts to see what pattern emerge from these texts, and how this relates to power. Users of social services in Sweden receive a wide array of information texts from the social welfare offices. Despite several efforts from the Swedish government to make the language in these text more simple they still come across as

This thesis addresses many issues surrounding the simple question: why have trams? With city populations exponentially growing alongside concerns over the environment and the economy, tramways have become a resurging form of sustainable transportation for municipalities. Once an endangered transportation mode, torn up and scrapped to make room for the age of cars, tramways are phoenix artifacts of
