Many aspects of present energy systems and the direction towards future energy systems are incompatible with sustainable development. Sustainable bioenergy systems contribute to combating climate change and improving energy security. Expanding bioenergy decreases carbon dioxide emissions if replacing fossil fuels, establishing energy crops, or integrating with carbon capture and storage, and incre

It is estimated that there are over a million pornographic sites on the Internet, with as many as 10,000 added every week. In addition to having a major financial impact, adult pornography is strongly as- sociated with various types of violence against women, especially sexual assault. Some studies have found that the contribution of pornography to woman abuse in dating, marriage, and during or af

Testning och materialmodellering av gummipackningar i värmeväxlare För att en plattvärmeväxlare ska kunna fungera på ett effektivt sätt är det viktigt att ha packningar som klarar den höga belastningen. Detta examensarbete har inneburit att testa och anpassa nya materialmodeller för ett antal packningsmaterial för att förbättra utvecklingen i framtiden. Examensarbetet är gjort i samarbete med AlThe aim of this master's thesis is to establish material models for three rubber materials using macroscopic data collected using Digital Image Correlation, DIC. DIC is a non-contact optical technique for measuring strain and displacement in a material by tracking points on a material during the deformation process.\\ The rubber materials are tested in both uniaxial tension and compression, fr

The Anatomy of Expectation. Dreams of Social Mobility in the Swedish Baltic Sea Area, 1680–1770 Social mobility in the early modern period has been subject to extensive research, often with an interest in quantities, ideologies, and strategies. The personal driving forces behind this mobility, on the other hand, remain obscure. Focusing on servants of the state in the Swedish Baltic Sea area betw

Detta kandidatarbete har undersökt hur ett digitalt verktyg för att hjälpa autistiska individer med exekutiva funktioner i arbetet bör designas. Syftet med detta var att uppnå inkludering och öka produktiviteten på arbetsplatser men även öka livskvaliteten för autistiska individer enligt de globala målen i Agenda 2030 nummer 3 om god hälsa och välbefinnande respektive nummer 10 om minskad ojäm

Due to the world becoming increasingly more ambiguous and uncertain, some concepts may consequently become more relevant when evaluating ways to cope with this change. One such concept that has historical indications of being a significant factor in people’s ability to successfully cope with a changing environment is what is called the need for closure. Developed and researched by Arie W. Kruglans

Aktivitet hos humlor och fjärilar Vad är egentligen aktivitet? Tänk på det som om när du funderar på att gå och handla. Du vill inte handla när alla andra gör det för då kommer det vara stor konkurrens när du väl ska betala i kassan. Samtidigt vill du inte komma försent till affärerna och riskera att varan du ska handla tagit slut. Så frågar är: När är den optimala tiden att handla? Lite på samBiodiversity of bumblebee and butterfly species in the agricultural landscape are declining and conservation actions are needed. Conservation measures have the potential to be more effective if they are conducted at the right time. Previous studies have investigated the patterns of activity of bumblebees and butterflies. However, they have failed to look at differences in activity depending on spe

This thesis explores the possibility to develop a tool for mobile analytics, which maps user behavior with the intent to detect frustration. The project was carried out in cooperation with the company Tactel AB. They see a great commercial potential in a tool that can provide application publishers with information about users’ frustration levels in real-time. The objective of the project was to d
