Under sen Trias inträffade flera globala miljöförändrigar, inclusive klimatinstabilitet, och den mest markanta var det biotiska utdöendet vid Norian-Rhaetian-gränsen (NRB). Stora karbonatplattformar etablerades längs tethyshavet och exporterade periodvis karbonat-sediment till det angränsade havsbottnet, särskilt på bathyalt djup. Petrografisk analys av elva prover från sex density flow-avlagringaDuring the late Triassic period several global environmental changes took place, including climate instability, and the most distinctive one was the biotic extinction at the Norian – Rhaetian boundary (NRB). Large carbonate platforms were established along the Tethys ocean and periodically exported carbonate sediments to the adjacent ocean floor, and especially at the bathyal depth. Petrographic

This research analysed the 2023 version of Japan’s Free and Open Indo-Pacific, focusing on the framing and implementation of its second pillar incorporating non traditional security issues, and examined what this addition to the framework reveals about Japan’s role and status in the Indo-Pacific region at a time of great-power competition and multipolarity. This study was conducted using a case-st

Magnetic material-superconductor heterostructures are promising candidates for applications in superconducting electronics and superconducting spintronics. This thesis investigates bar devices of two different magnetic material-superconductor heterostructures: CuMnAs/Al and MnTe/Al, where CuMnAs is an antiferromagnet (AFM) and MnTe is an altermagnet. AFMs and altermagnets are interesting for use i

Laccases are multicopper oxidases capable of oxidizing a broad range of phenolic and non-phenolic compounds, making them attractive biocatalysts for lignin valorization and environmental applications. In this work, two bacterial laccases, LacA from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and MEK from Psychrobacter sp., were recombinantly produced in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3), purified, and characterized to s

Denna studie undersöker HR-funktionens roll i Polismyndighetens (Region Syd) organisationskulturutveckling under en period av kraftig expansion. Syftet är att belysa erfarenheter, utmaningar och lärdomar i arbetet med att forma en organisationskultur som stödjer verksamhetens uppdrag. Genom en kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer analyseras materialet utifrån teorier om organisations

This thesis examines the coexistence of continued structural change toward more knowledge- and intangible-intensive economic activity with the simultaneous slowdown in labour productivity growth across advanced European economies since the early 2000s. Using Sweden and four comparable European economies over 1995-2021, the thesis investigates three sectoral mechanisms linking the knowledge-economy

Existing research on organisational transformation is heavily anchored in crisis and competitive pressures as drivers of change. This study looks past this and aims to examine how organisational transformation can be sustained past the initial disruption and how companies make sense of, frame, and communicate transformation within the organisation, with a focus on monopoly-heritage companies. Neo-

National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights (NAPs) are public policy instruments through which states operationalize the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). Despite their proliferation, the role of domestic institutional actors in shaping NAP development and content remains empirically understudied. This thesis asks: in what manner, and to what extent, do

The objective of this study is to explore the relationship between sleep disruption and increasing nightly temperatures. This has been done by comparing a normal year (2024) with a year characterized by extreme heat events (2018). The study intends to tell the difference in nights of insufficient sleep between the reference years. In Sweden, the relationship has been acknowledged by affected autho

This thesis explores how the heterotopic and liminal dimensions of Munich’s Oktoberfest produced differentiated visitor experiences, and how spatial, temporal, ritual, and social dynamics mediate feelings of authenticity, communitas, and belonging across visitor types. Adopting an interpretivist, social constructionist approach, the thesis combines semi-structured interviews with 15 participants a

This study evaluates the integration of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage systems (BESS) for medium-scale tea factories in two different regions located in Kenya; Region Central and Region West. Since tea production is both electricity intensive and highly dependent on grid supply, renewable energy technologies can offer opportunities to improve energy reliability a

The extent of data usage today makes the problem of its smoothing and filtering more relevant than ever. In this thesis, we explore one of the possible approaches to this problem: smoothing splines. When trying to clean noisy data, we want the final result to be both smooth and close to the original data set, thus it is logical to simultaneously minimize both of these values, while controlling the

Introduction: Extractability of shea oil depends on its solubility and so the feasibility of upscaling the extraction method for industrial purposes can be understood by studying sample solubility. Background: Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a greener technique than the current hexane extraction method but has not been utilized in shea oil yet and its solubility in supercritical carbon d

Flooding of coastal infrastructure due to rising sea levels and storm surges can be mitigated by coastal protection. The design of such infrastructure depends not only on the storm surge still-water level but also strongly on storm-wave characteristics. Therefore, numerical wave modelling is essential in the absence of wave observations. Fetch-limited seas with low moderate wave-energy climates ar

This thesis investigates the potential of using protective relay data for power outage prediction in medium-voltage distribution networks operated by E.ON Sverige AB. The study is based on retrospective relay recordings from seven substations in the Swedish distribution grid, covering the period 2018-2026. The analysis focuses on whether abnormal relay activity before outages contains systematic p

Remote epitaxy of β-Ga2O3 on graphene-covered SiC substrates offers a potential solution to the poor thermal conductivity that limits this ultra-wide bandgap material. To achieve this, the growth of β-Ga2O3 by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) was optimised first on bare 4H-SiC substrates and subsequently transferred to graphene-covered SiC. The growth parameters were selected to maximise both the cry

This essay examines the discourse in the Swedish government’s policy on a national begging ban. It focuses on the state, juridical and political discourse around begging and people who beg, and how people who are referred to as “Vulnerable EU citizens” who come to Sweden to beg are constructed. People who are referred to as “Vulnerable EU citizens” most often belong to the Roma population. Therefo
