In this study, the quantitative relationship between the three dimensions of transformative capacity – cognitive, structural and agency – and the climate change performance of countries is examined. To do this, indexes are created and panel data regressions conducted. The result indicates a significant negative relationship between the cognitive and diversity dimension index and climate change per
Låga relativa fuktigheter inomhus orsakar negativa hälsoeffekter på människor. Vanligast uppkommer torrhetssymptom i ögon, näsa, hals och hud. Aktiv befuktning genom ventilationen i torra klimat kan vara en åtgärd, dock måste det analyseras ifall den extra fuktproduktionen kan orsaka fuktskador. Syftet med examensarbetet är att studera hur ytterväggen i ett kontor påverkas av en förhöjd relativ Low levels of relative humidity indoor has a negative effect on the health of people. Most commonly appears dryness symptoms in eyes, nose, throat, and skin. Humidification of the air through ventilation in dry environments could be a solution, though it must be analyzed if the extra moisture can cause any problems. The purpose is to study how the outer wall in the building will react to the ele
Människor spenderar en betydande del av sitt liv i arbete. I relation till detta är arbetstillfredsställelse viktigt för anställda och organisationer. Denna studie ämnade undersöka hur personlighet och relationen till ledare predicerar arbetstillfredsställelse. Personlighet mättes utifrån teorin om de fem personlighetsfaktorerna (Big Five), medan relation till ledare mättes genom Leader-member excPeople spend a substantial amount of their life at work. In relation to this job satisfaction is important for employees and organizations. The study’s aim was to examine if employee’s job satisfaction is predicted by personality and relationship to one’s leader. Personality was measured through the theory of five personality factors (Big Five), whilst relationship to one’s leader was measured thr
I och med digitaliseringen har möjligheterna att möta och kommunicera med likasinnade individer underlättats avsevärt. Digitala miljöer, såsom incelforum och radikalnationalistiska forum, har under senare år uppmärksammats på grund av deras koppling till olika våldsdåd. Forskning har tidigare pekat på att det finns en del paralleller mellan incelkulturen och den radikalnationalistiska kulturen, me

The ferroelectric tunnel junction FTJ is a rather old concept but has recently been in the spotlight for its promising properties in computer memory technology and neuromorphic computing. The device consists of a ferroelectric insulator sandwiched between two electrodes, and by polarisation switching the resistance along the heterostructure can drastically be adjusted. The optimisation possibili
Parallellt med ett idag ständigt växande bostadsprekariat är samtalet om en samlad social bostadspolitik inom riksdagen frånvarande. Utanför parlamentet, däremot, vardar en ny bostadsrörelse. Med utgångspunkt i en underliggande jämförelse med den socialdemokratiska folkrörelsen ämnar uppsatsen studera vilka förutsättningar denna bostadsrörelse har att få politiskt inflytande. Via semistrukturerade
‘Killer acquisitions’ are fairly a new phenomenon which stems from a researcher’s study related to concerns from a series of mergers in the pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma) around 2018. Killer acquisitions occur in the pharmaceutical sector and also in large digital and technological markets occupied by large companies (Big Tech). They are putting themselves into a position of overwhelming mar
Several studies have shown psychological safety to be one of the leading factors in creating an effective team. Nevertheless, there is very little academic research studying the challenges that appear in a hybrid work environment or which practices in fostering psychological safety may need to be adapted to create an effective team in such a work environment. With the growing trend of the hybrid w
An important stepping stone in transitioning from a fossil-fuel based transportation system is the production of bio-fuels such as bio-oils. For bio-oils to be commercially viable, catalytic upgrading via hydrodeoxygenation is required, typically using Ni-Mo oxide or sulfide catalysts. To optimise such processes, a thorough understanding of the catalyst is required. Spark discharge generation (SDG
The purpose of this master’s thesis is to illuminate the information practices of professional musicians in the field of Early music. These musicians have a special interest in exploring the performance practices of the time periods when the music was composed, to make it more vivid in the present. This more and more widespread approach to Early music is called Historically Informed Performance (H
As technology advances and traditional ways of entertainment now can be found in the palm of one’s hand, the consumer expectations are higher than ever. This has created a greater demand by airline passengers for varied entertainment options on their flights. To keep up with the current demands, the development process aims to create an enticing multiplayer experience for passengers on short-haul
Världen står inför stora utmaningar när det gäller miljö- och klimatförändringar. För att bemöta detta finns svensk och internationell miljölagstiftning och hållbarhetsmål. I detta ingår regleringar och förslag till åtgärder gällande avfallshantering och hantering av naturresurser. Byggbranschen är den sektor som genererar störst mängd avfall i Sverige, en stor del av detta består av schaktmassor.The world is facing challenges when it comes to environmental and climate changes. To address this Swedish and international environmental legislation and sustainability goals have been developed. In these measures management of waste and natural resources are included. The construction industry is the sector that generates the largest amount of waste in Sweden. When excavating there is usually ex
McNeil AB är en producent av rökavväjningsprodukter Nicorette® belägen i Helsingborg, Sverige. Tuggummi och tabletterna är produkter med högst produktionsvolym och drageringsprocessen av dessa produkter är den största på siten. Produktionen förväntas att öka i framtiden och med det även utsläpp av processvatten. Med fokus på miljö och hållbarhet är McNeil intresserade av att undersöka hur ökningenMcNeil AB, located in Helsingborg, Sweden, is a production site for smoking cessation products under the trademark Nicorette®. The biggest process on site is the coating of chewing gums and lozenges, which have the highest production volumes. The production is expected to increase in the future, and the volumes of process waters are also expected to increase with it. With focus on environment and
Nyligen har preliminär forskning funnit att personer med självskadebeteende och andra psykiatriska diagnoser verkar ha en lägre funktionsnivå avseende grundläggande självomhändertagande aktiviteter, jämfört med personer med psykiatriska diagnoser men utan självskadebeteende. Anledningarna till detta har dock inte studerats i tidigare forskning. En explorativ kvalitativ forskningsstudie med en kritRecently, preliminary research has suggested that people with deliberate self- harm (DSH) and other psychiatric disorders have a lower functioning regarding fundamental self-care activities, compared to people with psychiatric disorders but without DSH. However, the reasons for this have not been studied in previous research. An explorative qualitative research study with a critical realist approa

Magnetomotive Ultrasound, MMUS, is an imaging modality used to reveal a magnetic contrast agent using an external time-varying inhomogeneous magnetic field. By this, the particles are set in motion, and the motion is detected with ultrasound. The technique has applications in cancer detection but is limited in penetration as the magnetic field decreases rapidly with distance. Instead of increasing
When being in a noisy environment, a normal hearing person can manage to sort out background noise and focus on the attended source. This is something that a person with impaired hearing will struggle with, even when wearing a hearing aid. Research for developing intelligent hearing aids has not yet come up with a solution for solving this problem and more research is needed. This thesis uses data
The consequences of climate change are already affecting the built environment and adaptation to these effects must be addressed by both public and private actors. In Sweden private actors have an important role to play as they are responsible for addressing their climate adaptation or accept the consequences. The purpose of this thesis is to study the barriers and opportunities for large private
In this text we continue the work of describing subalgebras of K[x] of finite codimension that was started in Describing subalgebras of K[x] using derivatives. In the referenced paper, the authors present how univariate subalgebras can be described by conditions based on evaluations in certain scalars, and proceed to develop a large theoretical framework to understand the nature of such conditions.
