Master’s thesis project 1(2) Investigating the tribological performance limits of FNC- treated GCI rotors under extreme braking conditions Background and motivation: Gray cast iron (GCI) remains the predominant material used in automotive brake rotors owing to its excellent thermal conductivity, vibration damping, and cost-effectiveness. However, the growing demand for higher braking performance a

The Primeiras and Segundas Archipelago Reserve, located in the waters of northern Mozambique, is the largest marine protected area in Africa, extending over 200 km of coastline. Despite the region’s importance for the local economic, information on the marine ecosystem, notably benthic habitat, is very scarce. Twelve atolls were mapped in the region using object-based image classification of very-

Payments for watershed services (PWS) are intended to provide incentives to land users to adopt sustainable land management practices. They are also increasingly viewed as having positive impacts on the livelihood of local communities around protected areas. The St. Paul River, located in the St. Paul River basin, is the main source of potable water and hydroelectricity to Monrovia, a city with ab

In this study the concept of transboundary protected areas formally called peace parks have been analysed. Peace parks are created for the purpose to foster peace and cooperation between contesting states through conservation efforts in the form of international natural protection areas. The aim of the study is to find factors that can help explain why and how peace parks can be created. The peace

Det Huvudsakliga syftet med denna studie är att klargöra vilka krav som ställs på miljökonsekvensbeskrivningar för landbaserade vindkraftsprojekt samt att undersöka om dessa krav skiljer sig mellan olika länsstyrelser i Sverige. Som Ett led i detta utreds även utmaningar som vindkrafsbranschen och länsstyrelser ställs inför i samband med tillstånd av vindkraft, såsom handläggningstider och vanligtThe main aim of this thesis is to clarify the requirements for environmental impact assessments for onshore wind projects, and to investigate if these requirements differ between county administrative boards in Sweden. As a part of this challenges that the wind power companies and county administrative boards has too face are investigated, such as processing time and frequent complementaries. The

Uganda has experienced extreme weather for example droughts and flooding for many years resulting from rainfall deficits and variability. With the increased manifestation of negative effects related to climate change and global warming, this challenge is becoming greater and greater. And with increased public awareness about disasters and disaster risks, communities are ceasing to portray droughts

Employment integration of non-Swedish residents into the Swedish labor market increasingly sparks political debate and begs further exploration. While some scholars try to focus on pre-arrival characteristics as determinants of an immigrant’s future employment prospects, this project attempts to examine the degree to which municipal-level conditions influence the local employment rate amongst non-

Global biodiversity loss threatens ecological stability and human well-being. Biodiversity credits(biocredits) have emerged to address the funding gap for conservation, but may overlook local values and uses of nature, which are vital for sustaining cultural identities, livelihoods, and long-term stewardship of ecosystems. This thesis, grounded in the Plural Valuation of Nature framework, explores

Fastighetsskatt är en löpande beskattning av fastigheter. I Sverige baseras fastighetsskatten på fastighetens värde och ska betalas av ägaren årligen. Väldigt liten hänsyn tas till den skattskyldiges inkomstförhållanden. Fastighetsskatten har i perioder varit väldigt omdebatterad och det är många som har haft synpunkter på hur den är utformad och på om skatten borde existera överhuvudtaget. År 20The Swedish property tax saw a reform in 2008. The former system with a state property tax (1 percent of the property’s tax value) on housing was replaced by a local real estate fee (0.75 percent of the property's tax value or a maximum of 6000 SEK). Furthermore, the local real estate fee is, in contrast to the property tax, limited in size and 25 percent lower for properties that do not reach

Framtagning av nya produkter som är konkurrenskraftiga ur ett helhetsperspektiv kräver att flera olika avdelningar och kompetenser samverkar. Examensarbetet studerar hur detta kan genomföras på bästa sätt. Begreppet tvärfunktionell samverkan definieras som: Hur väl olika funktioner arbetar mot ett gemensamt mål. Projektet undersöker hur svenska företag ser på tvärfunktionell samverkan, vilka konkNew product development requires the cooperation of several departments and competences to create competitive products from a holistic perspective. This master thesis studies how Swedish companies’ view cross-functional cooperation, the competitive advantages with cross-functional cooperation and examine the prerequisites to achieve well-functioning cross-functional cooperation. Cross-functional c

Wind energy has not been able to diffuse widely in the Netherlands, despite the great history of harnessing wind power. To understand the factors responsible for the slow diffusion of wind energy in the Netherlands, a qualitative study has been performed through semi-structured interviews. Drawing on insights from regime influences, this study has applied the multi-level framework by Geels (2012)
