The transport sector accounts for approximately 20% of EU-27 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and 27% of U.S. GHG emissions. With the Kyoto Protocol, Sweden and several other nations have agreed to reduce these emissions. Often, solutions that involve consolidating freight and moving it to more carbon-efficient transport technologies are advocated as the most advantageous. For such initiatives the
Bark beetles face challenges and trade-offs during host selection, imposed by lethal tree defences, lower nutrition and higher competition in less well-defended trees, scarcity and ephemeral distribution of susceptible hosts, limitation of suitable hosts to one beetle generation, and relatively short lifespan and vulnerability of adults during host searching. Beetles contend with these challenges
Consumers want innovations that fulfil present and future needs and to be delighted! Hence the main objective of an innovation is to create value for the consumer/customer by a product, process, service or combinations, but is also important for manufacturers, suppliers and society, to promote growth, create new markets, answer new needs etc. The retailers now have the power in the supply - and va

Punata alluvialkon ligger i centrala Bolivia (Valle Alto) i ett område mellan Altiplanot och lågländerna. Det är en viktig grundvattenreservoar för den lokala landsortsbefolkningen och pga. utveckling samt befolkningsökning i området har efterfrågan på färskvatten ökat de senaste åren. Tillsammans med minskande årlig nederbörd, i ett redan halvtorrt (semi-arid) klimat, sjunker grundvattennivån staThe Punata alluvial fan, situated in central Bolivia (Valle Alto) between the Altiplano and the lowlands, is an important aquifer for the local rural population. Due to rapid development and population growth in the area, the demand for fresh water has increased in recent year. In combination with decreasing annual rainfall, in the already semi-arid climate, the groundwater level is steadily sinki
Vindkraftsetableringar är idag vanliga runt om i landsbygden i Sverige. Vindkraftverk är ett miljövänligt alternativ för energi som hela samhället behöver. Samhällets behov av just förnyelsebara energikällor har ökat bara de senaste få åren. I april 2009 antogs Europaparlamentets och rådets direktiv 2009/28/EG om främjande av användningen av energi från förnybara energikällor. För Sveriges innebarWind farms are today very common around the countryside in Sweden. Wind turbines are an environmentally friendly alternative to generate energy that the whole community needs. Society's needs for renewable energy sources have increased over the last few years. In April 2009, Directive 2009/28 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the promotion of the use of energy from renewabl
Purpose: This thesis analyses and assesses how companies in Germany’s DAX 40 demonstrate their adherence to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It evaluates whether these disclosures are mainly substantive, indicating proper strategic integration, or symbolic, aimed primarily at enhancing reputation, and compares their reporting quality to previous international research. Methodology: This rese
I Sverige finns inget direkt förbud mot att bränna religiösa skrifter, vilket det däremot finns i Finland. Att bränna religiösa skrifter är en form av hädelse, och det är en sådan typ av lagstiftning som Finland har. Att häda innebär att kränka Gud eller ett annat religiöst föremål. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hädelselagstiftningens historia i Sverige och Fin-land. FrågeställningarnaIn Sweden, there is no direct prohibition against burning religious scriptures, which however exists in Finland. Burning religious scriptures is a form av blasphemy, and it is this type of legislation Finland has. Blasphemy means insulting God or another religious object. The purpose of this essay is to examine the history of blasphemy legislation in Sweden and Finland. The research questions are
DGEM (Devlabs, Copenhagen) is a small IoT product for air quality management and can be equipped with various integrated low-cost small sensors and hardware interfaces and provides comprehensive data collection capabilities. A one-month field observation test was conducted with reference instruments at Hyltemossa research station from 6th Dec. 2023 to 10th Jan. 2024 to validate this sensor bef
An often-forgotten group in the discussion of information access is inmates. This group often lack access to internet and other forms of technology. This is a task that libraries are equipped to handle, but collaboration between libraries and prisons is lacking. In order to deepen the knowledge about prison libraries, this paper thoroughly describes research on their services to open up for improv
The goal of the present work is to investigate possible improvements to established shell-model interactions concerning atomic nuclei in the mass A=90, N=Z regime. These investigations consist of generating energy spectra for the isotopes Pd-94, Cd-94, Ag-95, and Cd-95 close to the proton drip line, as well as an investigation of the transition probabilities between selected states in Ag-95. Data
This masters thesis handles segmentation of blood vessels in Wistor-rat lungs, scanned by a µm-CT scanner. These scans are very detailed 3D-volumes and have been rescaled to a more manageable size of 1024 × 1024 × 1024 voxels per volume. The main goals of the thesis is to find a more efficient way to perform segmentation in medical images and thus semi-supervised segmentation techniques have been
Adverse conditions in childhood manifest in a risk for long-term illness and poor labour market performance in the future and add to future health problems. Children and young people in need of care are particularly vulnerable as their future depends on their parents and family and the legal system as well as on social welfare. By identifying their needs we can develop new and relevant knowledge a
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assess the trends of socioeconomic-related inequalities in maternal healthcare utilization in Ghana between 2003 and 2014 and examine the causes of inequalities in maternal healthcare utilization in Ghana. Design/methodology/approach: Data are drawn from three rounds of the Ghana Demographic and Health Survey collected in 2003, 2008 and 2014, respectively.

It’s important to have knowledge about the existing conditions before proceeding with various types of construction works. Geotechnical investigations are made to determine the soil properties and one method of doing so is to perform borehole drillings. Such drillings are expensive and unfortunately it’s not always known if similar procedures have been performed in the surroundings. A geotechnical
Objectives. Guatemala exhibits disastrous maternal and child health outcomes, with the rural, indigenous populations disproportionately impacted by high maternal mortality, chronic malnutrition, and low skilled birth attendance. This study investigates maternal care in rural Guatemala through Thaddeus and Maine’s Three Delays Model (1994) to understand delays to maternal health-seeking behaviours
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to (1) investigate if product attributes relevant for early stages of the product life cycle enable the survival of disruption and (2) to further examine if there are any specific product attributes related to later stages of the product life cycle enabling market innovation. Methodology: For the purpose of this thesis, qualitative semi-structured int
More often than not one would encounter a problem, know that the solution has to meet some requirements, but do not how to start or how to progress towards solving it. Motivation for a computer that can solve the problem automatically without explicitly programming it is apparent, i.e. a computer that \programs itself", is greatly desired. The method of genetic programming has demonstrated it
