Power grids worldwide are expanding not only driven by ambitious clean energy, but also because of the rising need for reliable energy. Key components of these power grids are transformers. Transformers are traditionally filled with mineral oil, to serve as a coolant and dielectric insulator. Now globally a rising trend is observed towards the adoption of less flammable, biodegradable transformer
Popular Science Summary Konsten att kunna ta bort ett syre Alla celler har DNA, som måste repareras och kopieras för att livet ska fortgå. För att kunna göra detta måste det finnas byggstenar. En av alla processer som ser till att alla delar finns i rätt mängd innefattar bara ett protein. Ett protein som får instruktioner från många håll för att gå igenom en komplicerad process som tillverkar dessThe protein ribonucleotide reductase catalyses the de novo synthesis of deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs) from ribonucleotides (NTPs), using radical chemistry. It is under strict allosteric regulation, partly from the dNTPs it synthesises that regulate what substrate should be synthesised, but also from dATP/ATP, which regulates overall activity. It is a protein that is found in almost every living org
Public service eller radio och TV i allmänhetens tjänst kan betraktas som ett alltmer angeläget ämne att studera mot bakgrund av ett föränderligt medieklimat under intensiv konkurrens. Det bildar en central mediepolitisk fråga att balansera på såväl nationell som överstatlig nivå i förhållande till EU-rätten. I denna uppsats har en nutida förståelse för public service genom TV-sändningarna i allmäPublic service broadcasting can be considered as an increasingly important topic to study in the light of a changing media climate under intense competition. It also represents a central question in media policy to be balanced at a national as well as a supranational level in relation to EU law. In this thesis, an understanding of public service broadcasting with regard to television is based on
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images are used to investigate the heart for medical and research purposes. By injecting a contrast substance into the patient, myocardial infarctions (heart attacks) can be visualized in CMR image sets consisting of a number of image slices at different levels of the heart. Analysis of these images can detect an infarction, delineate it and estimate its size. This
In this thesis I study international space law’s rules on international responsibility and international liability for private satellite launches. I have used a legal dogmatic method to interpret these rules, before subjecting them to an economic analysis on how they will affect the behaviour of private actors and States. Finally I propose solutions to increase the economic efficiency of three dif
The study explores the influence of agro-processing activities in the lives and livelihoods of cassava farmers in five communities located in four districts in the Ashanti and Volta regions in Ghana. The qualitative research is done by performing thirty-six semi-structured interviews to farmers and stakeholders along the cassava value chain. The research concludes that agro-processing activities a
Den pågående klimatförändringen är som mest uttalad i Arktis och påverkan på kryosfären har accelererat under de senaste årtiondena. Den här studien undersöker möjlihgeterna att applicera multispektrala satellitdata inom Kryosfärsstudier. Studieområdet täcker istäcksområdena Mýrdalsjökull och Eyjafjallajökull, belägna i Suðurland på Island. Analysen baseras sig på Landsatdata. Studien inkluderar eThe study focuses on the application of multispectral satellite imageries in glaciological studies. It aims to assess how the Icelandic glaciers have evolved over the last decades (from the 1980s to 2014). The study area covers Mýrdalsjökull and Eyjafjallajökull ice caps located in Suðurland, Iceland. The cryosphere is an integral part of the global climate system. Its occurrence is dependent on
Electromechanical oscillations is a power system phenomenon where generator rotors oscillate, leading to oscillatory power flows. Damping of such oscillations is important for system stability. Forced oscillations is a special case where one faulty component is the source of the oscillation. This report concerns the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF), which is an energy-based method for analysing dampi
The purpose of this thesis was to explore how a newly founded Youth Platform in Colombia, called La Mesa de Juventud, could affect the youth community in promoting and capacitating organizational skills, youth citizenship rights and youth influence in public policy making. The study emanates from the region of northern Cauca situated in the South Western part of Colombia which is an area where you
The aim with this master thesis was to investigate if a certain sow feed requires different calibrations in near-infrared analysis, due to if the sow feed have fish oil or AkoFeed as fat source. To investigate this, a basic sow feed mix was prepared and divided in 60 jars with 250 g in each. In 30 of the jars 0 to 15 g fish oil were added and in the other 30 jars 0 to 21 g AkoFeed were added. 2/
There have been reforms in the public sector, from the bureaucratic form of organization to the business community inspired reforms called New Public Management. These reforms have been seen as positive but also negative, especially against downplaying of democratic values. In connection with these changes, even the language being touched. The earlier one named citizen is now called customers. Thi
Climate change has emerged as the most prominent of the global environment issues and there is a need to evaluate its impact on the agriculture. General Circulation Models (GCMs) which are considered as the most advance tools for estimating future climate change scenarios operate on coarse resolutions. It is for this reason the climate change model MAGICC coupled to SCENGEN developed by the IPCC w
New technology is always coming and with that comes changes. The technology has made it easier to fulfil each customer's demand. The customer has today much more different products to choose between and the stores have problems to get the right product to the right place at the right time. It is hard for the supply chain to forecast what the customer is going to buy the next day, especially if
The aims of the present study were to implement and evaluate a three-session Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) stress management intervention in a non-clinical group of university students (N = 25) and to investigate the importance of practice in an ACT-intervention. A design with pre-test and double post-test was chosen. A comparison was made between a nine-hour ACT-intervention containing
The aim of this master thesis is to gain greater knowledge of interpersonal communication. This study explores on one hand how interpersonal communication can be used as an important part of reference work in a Swedish electronic synchronous reference service, and on the other how interpersonal communication affects the relationship between user and librarian. By using communication theory and est
The study tries to look at the impact of microfinance on the lives of the extreme poor people. There are different views on microcredit/microfinance as a powerful development tool regarding its success in developing the lives of the extreme poor and sometimes these views are contradictory. The purpose of the study was to observe the social and financial changes that have occurred also with an effo
This essay develops a theory for the explanation of the diffrences in succes of Radical Right Populist Parties in Western Europe. In order to create a succesfull radical right populist movement and thus a succesfull radical right populist party, three elements are needed; ?demand?, ?supply? amd ?mobilisation?. Because the creation of a radical right populist movement is different than the creatio
