Med 2024 officiellt uppmätt som det varmaste året hitills är klimatförändringarna och behovet av att minska utsläppen är mer aktuella än någonsin. Sveriges viktigaste uppgift i denna utmaning är att effektivt elektrifiera sina två största källor till koldioxidutsläpp: industrin och transportsektorn. Dessa två sektorer står tillsammans för hela 65 % av landets utsläpp. Elektrifieringen förväntas leThere is an urgent need to reduce CO2 emissions in Sweden, primarily caused by industry and the transport sector, which together accounted for nearly 65% of the country's total CO2 emissions in 2023. A key solution to this challenge is the rapid and effective implementation of green electrification, which involves transitioning industry and transportation to electricity and electricity-based f

Sedan de tidiga mänskliga civilisationerna har människan använt djur till diverse ändamål, såsom föda, kläder och arbetsredskap. I takt med människans tekniska framsteg har djur börjat användas som testsubjekt, så kallade försöksdjur, för att säkerställa att olika ämnen och behandlingar är säkra. Avseende transplantationskirurgi har djur spelat en avgörande roll i utvecklingen, och det är en reellSince early human civilizations, humans have used animals for a variety of purposes, such as food, clothing, and tools. As human technology has advanced, animals have been used as test subjects, known as laboratory animals, to ensure that various substances and treatments are safe. In transplant surgery, animals have played a crucial role in its development and there is the potential for further s

Att vara gravid eller föräldraledig när ens anställning inte är en klassisk tillsvidareanställning kan skapa problem, vilket är något som kan beröra många olika yrkesgrupper. En av dessa grupper är elitidrottare. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur det arbetsrättsliga skyddet ser ut för elitidrottare som är gravida eller föräldralediga. För att fördjupa förståelsen för den problematik som kTo be pregnant or to take parental leave when your employment is not permanent can create problems, something which can affect many different occupations. Professional athletes are among these. The purpose of this essay is to examine how professional athletes who are pregnant or take parental leave are protected by law. The employment of professional athletes is almost always limited, and therefor

Both the European Union and the Swedish government consider the need for evidence-based practice and public awareness crucial in nature conservation work. When authorities perform nature conservation projects, they need to hire machine contractors through public procurement. However, there is no way for the authorities to demand high competence in nature conservation work in the public procurement

Sweden is a geographically large country, with several regions counted as rural areas. Hospitals and emergency care units can be up to one hour away, making emergency healthcare less available in time sensitive situations to some groups of people. To help decrease the waiting time, local people of certain professions, volunteers and similar, have created groups to help with the initial care. In th

This thesis investigates the climate impact of a newly constructed residential complex in Oceanhamnen, Helsingborg, through an extended life cycle assessment (LCA) covering both building and non-building elements such as road infrastructure, inner courtyards, external installations, that area often overlooked in conventional assessments. The aim is to develop a replicable method to quantify the gl

Vitamin A deficiency affects approximately 30% of children under 5 years old globally, with Bolivia showing persistent rates despite intervention efforts. High-altitude environments like La Paz present unique challenges for nutrient-rich crop production, mostly due to harsh growing conditions and limited infrastructure. This study investigated wether targeted modifications of hydroponic substrates

Problem background and research problem: Previous research has shown that demographic characteristics of corporate executives can influence financial decision-making. According to Upper Echelons Theory, factors such as gender, age and experience play a role in shaping strategic decisions. However, research on the role of CFOs remains limited, especially within capital-intensive industries like the

Problem Statement: The project started with a request from IKEA to contribute more to the environment. The task for this project, issued by IKEA, was to create a concept for a free-standing indoor storage unit for recyclable waste. The unit should hold at least seven different types of waste: cardboard, plastic, paper, metal, glass, deposit waste and some smaller hazardous waste, such as batteries

Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur EU-rätten påverkar den svenska arbetsrättsliga modellen, särskilt arbetsgivarens generella informationsplikt och om Sverige har levt upp till de krav som EU-rätten ställer vid införlivandet av direktiv 2002/14/EG om införlivande av allmän ram för information till och samråd med i Europeiska gemenskapen, gällande nationella förhållanden. The purpose of this paper is to examine how EU law influences the Swedish labour law model, particularly the general obligation of employers to provide information and concerning, whether Sweden has lived up to the requirements imposed under EU law regarding the implementation of the directive 2002/14/EC establishing a general framework for informing and consulting employees in the European Commun

Author: Erika Wilhelmsson Title: The (un)changed views on youth unemployment- a critical discourse analysis of the job guarantee for young people [translated title] Supervisor: Frans Oddner Assessor: Anett Schenk There is currently disagreement about whether youth unemployment should be seen as a societal-, or individual problem, and from there also how youth unemployment should be solved. A job

Uppsatsen syftar till att förklara varför svenska lagstiftare fastställde de rådande gränsvärdena för revisionsplikt genom att identifiera vilka intressegrupper och faktorer som kan tänkas ha påverkat beslutet. Vi gjorde en kvalitativ studie över lagändringsprocessen, SOU 2008:32. Vidare använde vi en induktiv forskningsansats vid analys av de offentliga statliga dokumenten samt remissyttranden. U

Leadership is often proposed as a key solution for social change, although the actual meaning remains unclear. By studying leadership in the context of Indian feminist NGOs’ hybridity, situated in-between Western structures and the values of the Indian Women’s Movement, I intended to deepen our understanding of the lived meaning of leadership and followership, beyond its buzzword character. Throug

Tidigare har det varit tillåtet för underåriga att gifta sig i Sverige, men efter en lagändring 2014 är det numera inte möjligt. I samband med lagändringen, har även vissa särregler tagits bort för underåriga gifta, exempelvis den obegränsade rätten för gifta underåriga att skriva testamente. Förarbetena uttrycker tydligt att barnäktenskap inte ska förekomma i Sverige. I takt med att världen harPreviously, people under 18 years old have been allowed to marry in Sweden, but after a law change in 2014 it is no longer possible. In connection with the law change, other special rules regarding married minors have been removed, such as the unlimited right for married minors to write a will. The preparatory works clearly states that child marriages shall not occur in Sweden. As the world beco

Of increasing interest in the field of protein modelling and simulation is the effects of crowding. In a living cell, large molecules can take up 30% of the cell plasma volume, and affects the folding and dynamics of proteins. Computer simulations have so far focused mainly on simple spherical crowders, but recent simulations with protein crowders have shown effects beyond what can be replicated u

The aim of this study is to examine the spillover effects of diversity in insect pollinated plants in the vicinity of semi-natural grasslands, if the biodiversity in plants is increased as a result of being close to pastures and if a local environmental support has an effect on its surroundings. As agricultural intensification reduces biodiversity and contributes to habitat degradation, studies on

I had the opportunity to work with the flood plain community: Nossa Senhora das Gracas in the Amazon in Brazil. During a month long stay I observed the daily life of the people. A life where the inhabitants shape their daily routines after the rising and dropping Solemoes river. Solemoes is a part of the Amazon river. I identified a need of harvesting water during the low water season, when the r

Ett nytt sätt att behandla cancer För att en cancercell ska kunna utvecklas från en normal cell måste det ske förändringar, mutationer, i den normala cellens gener som leder till att cancercellen kan föröka sig obegränsat. Om vi kan förstå denna process kan vi utveckla läkemedel som är mer riktade mot cancercellerna och har mindre biverkningar. Normalt är en cell beroende av signaler från omvärlAbstract The cell cycle is a tightly regulated process with many different checkpoints that monitor the progression and correct possible mistakes. During cancer development, the restriction point (R-point) is one of the most important control mechanisms that has to be altered in order to reach growth factor independent growth. The R-point is guarded by retinoblastoma protein (pRB), which forms a

In this Master Thesis different methods for measuring and evaluating surface textures have been investigated and evaluated. A method for digitizing textures called photometric stereo have also been studied. The purpose has been to find methods that can replace or supplement the current method of visual inspection used for surface texture studies by IKEA of Sweden. The suggested methods are going t
