Rebound effects, though well-documented in consumption areas such as household energy consumption, have been far less explored in nutrition. This is despite the fact that the nutrition may be just as crucial of a consumption area when considering how to reduce carbon footprints in personal lifestyle choices. This thesis explores the existence of one of the possible mechanisms behind a rebound effe
This thesis examines the synergies of post-growth policies that aim to decrease environmental pressure at the legislative level of the European Union. Motivated by the urgent need to mitigate global warming and the limitations of the green growth paradigm, this thesis focuses on three specific post-growth policies: restriction of large resource extractions, reduction of caps on pollution, and proh
Väderprognoser är av stor betydelse för till exempel flygrutter, militära operationer och sjöfart. Flera organisationer tillhandahåller numera inte bara sina väderprognoser öppet, utan delar även med sig av sina prognosdata för nedladdning. Teknisk utveckling och ett större utbud av öppna data möjliggör användning av väder- och prognosdata för både privata och kommersiella ändamål. Egna programmerWeather forecasts are of great significance for instance in planning flight routes, military operations, and seafare. Many organizations today openly provide, not only their forecasts, but their raw data as well. Technological development and a greater availability of open data ensures that both weather- and forecast data can be used for both private and commercial purposes. However, customized ap
The city of Malmö in southern Sweden has long argued and presented itself as a city of tomorrow and a city for everyone. The city often shows itself as a modern city with a focus on modern technology. One of the ways Malmö wishes to present itself as a leading city is through the development of the city’s infrastructure and mobility. The city has lofty goals focused on bringing democracy to the sp
This thesis presents a method, from an article by Gouveia and Stone, for solving resonant ODE:s as well as ODE:s with multiple roots, based on perturbation theory. It also gives a mathematical justification for the method as well as background on resonance and repeated roots. Later in the thesis we use the method to solve a number of ODE’s, illustrating its usefulness.
Automation with the use of robotics is a crucial trend across industries, enhancing efficiency and quality while improving health and safety conditions by minimizing human exposure to hazardous tasks. Alfa Laval, a global provider of products within heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling, is embracing this trend by exploring how to solve labor-intensive processes like the production of rubb
Broadleaved deciduous forests have endured a far-reaching process of fragmentation. This has resulted in different configurations of remaining habitats with many times unknown consequences for species persistence. To reduce the potential negative effect, frameworks such as the concept of green infrastructure have been implemented with a focus on increasing connectivity in urban and rural planning.
Physical activity is essential for health and well-being, as recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), which defines it as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Recommended levels of physical activity vary depending on age, with children needing at least 60 minutes per day and adults requiring 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per
The scramjet engine is an air-breathing engine that can be used to travel at supersonic speeds. Research is being done into how these engines can be used as reusable launch vehicles for space travel, missile propulsion, and many hope one day scramjets can be used for commercial flight. Scramjets are highly beneficial in the sense that hydrogen is the primary fuel and that manufacturing is simple c
Previous research has shown that conducting scientific research aimed at studying human behavior in a virtual environment in the context of safety is feasible. However, most applications of this kind are done with a primary focus on the visual aspects of the virtual environment. This study investigates if (a) a visual and auditory recreation of a real-world environment in Virtual Reality (VR) for
Den här uppsatsen undersöker avgiftstaket för ersättningen till fotbollsagenter som infördes av FIFA genom artikel 15(2) i regelverket FIFA Football Agents Regulations (FFAR) och om det strider mot förbudet mot konkurrensbegränsande avtal i artikel 101(1) FEUF. FIFA menar att avgiftstaket syftar till att främja transparens, ekonomisk rättvisa och skydd för unga spelare på fotbollens övergångsmarknThis thesis examines the fee cap for the remuneration of football agents introduced under article 15(2) of the FIFA Football Agents Regulations and its compliance with EU competition law, particularly article 101 TFEU. The fee cap seeks to promote transparency, economic fairness, and the protection of young players in the football transfer market. The analysis also considers the legal specificity
Soft power and public diplomacy compose the new reality shaping the dynamics of contemporary international relations. Strategic narratives represent an essential means for political actors to extend their influence, gain the public opinion’s support for their actions and fulfill their foreign policy goals. The thesis focused on the Chinese Party state’s construction of strategic narratives targete
Den ökade tillgängligheten av kommersiella laserskärare har utvidgat användningen av laserskärningsteknik till nya marknader och öppnat upp nya möjligheter för mindre företag att finna innovativa lösningar inom sina områden. Denna examensarbeterapport ämnar att undersöka användningen av laserskärningsteknik i samband med att skapa vikbara 3D-strukturer för brädspel, och den resulterande produktutvThe proliferation of commercial laser cutters has expanded the use of laser cutting technology to new markets, opening up new possibilities for small companies to innovate in their fields. This thesis aims to examine the use of laser cutting technology in the context of creating foldable 3D structures for board games and the resulting product development of these structures within a board game sys
Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are recognized for their ability to self-renew and create more stem cells while also being able to differentiate into all different types of blood cells. Stem cells can do symmetric or asymmetric divisions but the biological relevance of different types of divisions is still unclear. Steady state HSCs have been found to perform both symmetric and asymmetric division
There is an increased awareness among engineering consulting firms in Sweden that the sector’s main contribution to greenhouse gas emissions stems from their consulting projects. Due to this fact, WSP Sweden has initiated an internal project to monitor and reduce indirect emissions from their consulting projects. Methods of sustainability work are however not easy to implement or manage and can in
This thesis attempts to implement a library in pure Python for building real-time Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems. The library does this by employing nodes containing data transformation methods—filtering, classification, data acquisition, and more. These nodes are linked together to create pipelines of nodes in which data flows. Due to the asynchronous nature of the data flow the library w
This essay examines the relationship between manager compensation and gender. More specifically what kind of compensation Scandinavian managers receive depending on their gender. Due to previous research the hypothesis of this essay is that women are less inclined to receive non-fixable compensation then their male counterparts. This hypothesis was not able to be proven in the study as the results
