Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Morgondagens energi Vind-, och vattenkraft tillsammans med solenergi är de enda energikällorna vi har som inte leder till avfall som ökar växthuseffekt eller avfall som vi inte kan göra oss av (från t ex kärnkraftverk). Men solpanelerna som finns idag för kommersiellt privat bruk ligger på en effektivitet kring 15%. Att utveckla nya molekyler som kan omvanlda solThe aim of the study was to theoretically investigate if a proton coupled electron transfer (PCET) was feasible for a molecular system consisting of a light harvesting complex, ruthenium(tris-2,`2-bipy)2+, with different organic moieties serving as PCET (proton coupled electron transfer) relays. These light harvesting complexes are also sometimes referred to as dyes. By studying the energy levels

The thesis studies the situation within Lund University in relation to the implementation of the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG) developed by The European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA). The aim of the study is to answer the following research question “How have Lund University implemented the European Standards and Guidelines developed by The European Associa

1991-års skattereform har inneburit att den svenska företagsbeskattningen i huvudsak anpassas till den europeiska marknaden. Den svenska modellen skapar en skillnad i systemet mellan skattebelastningen på förvärvs - och kapitalinkomster. Dock har den proportionella skatten på kapitalinkomster bedömts ha avsevärt bidragit till att uppnå målen om likformighet och neutralitet i beskattning av olika i1991 tax reform has meant that the Swedish company taxation mainly adapted to the European market. The Swedish model creates a difference in the system between the tax burden on earned - and capital income. However, the proportional tax on capital income is estimated to have contributed significantly to the achievement of uniformity and neutrality in the taxation of different investment options. T

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt hur matkassetjänsten ”Linas matkasse” bidrar i skapandet av föreställningar och praktiker kring familjen. Matkassen som fenomen är nytt och har funnits sedan 2007 på den svenska matmarknaden. Genom att studera vardagsstrukturer och middagens betydelse i barnfamiljer har jag nått en större insikt i vilken roll matkassen har för familjen. För att samla material krin

Abstract Author: Emma Borgvall Title: To be a good girl – a qualitative study on the image of the hymen and its importance for the social control of young women's sexuality [translated title] Supervisor: Annika Capelán Köhler Assessor: Tove Harnett The aim of this study has been to explore how the social construction of the hymen is revealed in the social work with young girls and with thei

The aim of this thesis is to present experiences and lessons learned from the initial implementation process of the rating system STARS at Washington University in St. Louis: mainly the strengths/opportunities can be used to overcome the weaknesses/threats that the STARS implementation may entail. Strengths and opportunities such as increased student involvement in processes such as assessing sust

A search is presented for a narrow resonance decaying to a pair of Z bosons using data corresponding to 1.02 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected by the ATLAS experiment from pp collisions at root s= 7 TeV. Events containing either four charged leptons (llll) or two charged leptons and two jets (lljj) are analyzed and found to be consistent with the Standard Model background expectation. Lowe

ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is a general-purpose, heavy-ion detector at the CERN LHC which focuses on QCD, the strong-interaction sector of the Standard Model. It is designed to address the physics of strongly interacting matter and the quark-gluon plasma at extreme values of energy density and temperature in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Besides running with Pb ions, the physics program

Background: This population-based study investigated the different forms, magnitude and risk factors of men's violence against women in intimate relationships in a rural part of northern Vietnam and whether a difference in risk factors were at hand for the different forms of violence. Vietnam has undergone a rapid transition in the last 20 years, moving towards a more equal situation for men and w

The clinical performance of two nucleic acid amplification assays targeting the cryptic plasmid and two assays targeting rRNA molecules in Chlamydia trachomatis was examined. First-catch urine samples from Malmoe, Sweden, were tested for C. trachomatis with the Abbott real-time PCR assay m2000 and an in-house PCR for the new variant strain of C. trachomatis with a deletion in the cryptic plasmid.

The cellular and molecular pathways initiated by traumatic brain injury (TBI) may compromise the function and structural integrity of mitochondria, thereby contributing to cerebral metabolic dysfunction and cell death. The extent to which TBI affects regional mitochondrial populations with respect to structure, function, and swelling was assessed 3 hours and 24 hours after lateral fluid-percussion

Uppsatsen ?Hur mår du lilla hjärnan?? syftar till att klargöra varför det finns få kvinnliga chefer på toppnivå inom den offentliga sektorn. Studiens första del utgörs av en litteraturstudie där vi utifrån teorier om glastaket, könsmärkta organisationer samt socialkonstruktivism, fastställer rådande ledarskapsdiskurs samt klarlägger de hinder som är mest relevanta. Studiens andra del är empirisk o

According to many scholars America's soft power is in decline, a power resource whose importance has been increasing in world politics. This makes it interesting to examine if there is a difference between how Democratic and Republican administrations wield their soft power. This thesis is a hypothesis-testing study and the purpose is to test the hypothesis that Democratic administrations, to

The study field of the thesis is regional integration in Africa. The focus is set on the African Union (AU) and its main programme for promoting democracy on the continent, the New Partnership for Africa´s Development (NEPAD). By applying two theories, one on democratization through regional organizations and the other on hidden agendas within them, the thesis makes an assessment on the work for d

This thesis is a case study of a Spanish castle called Aljafería. The objective of the study was to develop the mediation of this particular castle and to construct a research design that could be used to develop the mediation of other architectural heritage visitor attractions. The research design emerged during the course of the case study, using a grounded method perspective. The most dominant

The main purpose of this paper was to attempt to explain and to understand the causes of various types of eating disorders. The intention of the essay was to examine who are the different parties acting in this particular field that through research or other kinds of work, come to meet individuals that suffer from some kind of eating disorder. The aim was to explore the different concepts used wi

The ongoing Europeanisation is readily identifiable in our day-to-day life. Particularly in the field of law, the elaboration of a uniform and harmonised European private law is promoted and a truly European legal science is forced. Yet, comparative law and unification of law have concentrated on certain areas, which include mainly commercial law and related areas of civil law. The main issue of t

The symbolic elite discourse on the safety and viability of using the insecticide DDT for combating malaria in Africa is marked by extreme dissonance. While some positions within the debate on using DDT for malaria prevention are quite nuanced, others are more extreme if not one-dimensional. The ones who tend to hold more nuanced or centrist positions on using DDT for controlling malaria are often
