Sverige elektrifierar i snabb takt, vilket driver en stor energiomställning där förnybara energikällor som vind- och solkraft spelar en nyckelroll. Dessa medför väldigt lite koldioxidutsläpp och är ett nödvändigt steg mot ett mer hållbart samhälle. Men är det verkligen så enkelt som att bara bygga mer vind- och solkraft - och kan vi förvänta oss samma robusta och pålitliga elförsörjning som vi tidThe electric power system is undergoing a major change through the implementation of a large number of variable renewable energy sources (VRE), driven by the goal to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions from electricity production. This transition increases the need for a more flexible and dynamic power system capable of maintaining voltage and frequency stability under changing operating conditions. U

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Främmande gen ger fler skott Ibland händer det att arter i naturen byter gener med varandra. Frågan är hur det kan påverka deras förmåga att anpassa sig till sin miljö. Kan en extra gen till exempel få ett gräs att växa annorlunda, eller klara av torka bättre? Det är frågor vi försökt få svar på i den här studien—med hjälp av femhundra krukor gräs och ett växt

In Nampula Province, Mozambique, locating productive wells is a problem due to the heterogeneity in local geology, which consists of mainly weathered crystalline rock. This study estimates hydraulic conductivity of 10 hand pumped water wells in rural areas of Nampula Province using slug tests, and is a follow up of Andersson and Björnström (2013) and of Enkel and Sjöstrand (2013).

Urbanisation is an inevitable part of globalisation. With the globalised food chain in place to feed the growing number of people living in urban areas. A remedy is often expressed to be urban farming, with local, sustainable production of food. This study presents a preliminary assessment of the dynamics between urban farms and residents in Malmö. Urban farms produce available food for the reside

Chocaya Basin ligger i den nordvästra delen av dalen Cochabamba i Bolivia, där ett halvtorrt klimat råder. Den ökande befolkningen är beroende av lokala akviferer för dricksvatten och jordbruk, där brunnar används för att utvinna vattnet. Låg nederbörd, främst under torrperioden, och uppförandet av nya hus eller fabriksbyggnader, påverkar infiltrationen av vattnet i jorden och därmed akviferernas The Chocaya Basin is situated in the north-western part of the Valley of Cochabamba, Bolivia, where a semi-arid climate prevails. The increasing population is dependent on local aquifers for drinking water and irrigation. Wells are used to extract water. Scarce amount of rainfall, mainly during the dry season, and constructions of buildings, are reducing the infiltration of water in the soil and c

This bachelor thesis uses the case of a double land allocation agreement on the Swedish island of Gotland and asks to what degree neoliberal planning is present when using the policy instrument. The main theoretical framework used was that of David Harvey(2005), on the manifestation of neoliberal policies. His framework puts forth four main ways in which neoliberal policies are manifested. In orde

The round goby, Neogobius melanostomus, is a recent intruder of the Baltic Sea, which presumably arrived via the ballast water of travelling ships. The establishment of self-sustaining populations in this ecosystem has had both negative and positive effects on the native species composition within the area. Competition over resources and shelter, spawning interference, and the predation on native

The literature shows that lack of good hygiene is an important issue on which to focus as hygiene deficiency can lead to healthcare associated infections (HAI). HAI affects the safety of patients and can result in substantial economic costs and an increase in morbidity and mortality among patients. The aim of this study was to explore the health care workers basic hygienic routines and their compl

Literature on intermediation in transitions has emphasised the importance of publicly promoting intermediation. To understand what drives authorities to financially promote intermediation, we conducted an exploratory study of 16 Swedish municipalities promoting an intermediary actor in the mobility transition, applying the framework of drivers of collaborative governance. The results highlight dri

This paper analyzes the interactions between Kazakhstan stock market index and maroeconomic variables. The vector autoregressive model (VAR) is employed; Granger causality, impulse responses and variance decomposition tests are implemented. The results show weak interactions among tested variables and the market. The only variable that could be used as explanatory power for price movements in stoc

A lyotropic nonionic lamellar system composed of pentaethyleneglycol mono n-dodecyl ether and D(2)O was studied using natural abundance (13)C NMR under magic-angle spinning. Applying a two-dimensional recoupling method proposed by Dvinskikh (R-PDLF), (1)H-(13)C dipolar couplings were estimated over a range of temperatures (300-335 K), thus enabling analysis of structural changes in the liquid crys

We have studied the effect of a grain boundary in front of a short edge crack on its propagation under cyclic loading conditions in bcc iron. The used model is a combination of a discrete dislocation formulation and a boundary element approach where the boundary is described by dislocation dipole elements, while the local plasticity is modeled by discrete dislocations. The grain boundary is consid

In this paper we study the impact that political risk premiums have on market index returns in thirty-one countries. We also include the impact of exchange rates and inflation rates. Fifteen of the countries are classified as developing, and sixteen of them are classified as developed based on the World Bank classifications. These classifications play a role in the analysis as they are included as

This paper treats limit cycles caused by friction. The goal has been to explain phenomena that have been observed experimentally in mechatronic systems. Experiments have shown that oscillations of qualitatively different types can be obtained simply by changing controller specifications. Stiction is important in some cases but not in others. Necessary conditions for limit cycle are given for the c

Hot luminescence of self-trapped excitons in solid xenon has been investigated in a wide temperature range (from LHeT to 100 K), using X-ray and two-photon excimer laser (ArF and KrF) excitation. Hot luminescence of bulk Xe crystals of volume 2 cm(3) appears to be very sensitive to both the temperature and the quality of the samples, while its highest intensity has been registered under KrF laser
