The incineration furnace at National Veterinary Institute (SVA) in Uppsala, Sweden, runs approximately 2,150 hours a year and generates a large amount of waste heat. Some of this heat is partially recovered, and is used for heating one of the main buildings during the furnace operation. However, around 2,000 MWh is wasted annually due to unavailability of any storage system. This wasted heat is ap
Peptides are abundant in all living organisms and essential to many cellular functions. For this purpose, peptides are interesting research targets. The chemical moieties and molecules that are involved in peptide interactions and systems, respectively, are intrinsically non-emissive or weakly emissive, which is why researchers have found strategies for labeling peptides. Today, peptides are typic
Kunskap om markens uppbyggnad är viktig både för konstruktions och prospekteringsändamål. Geofysiska undersökningsmetoder kan användas för att skapa en överblick att basera vidare undersökningar på. I den här studien används likströms resistivitet och inducerad polarisation, IP. Datan är inverterad med en Cole-Cole modell i programmet ÅrhusInv och använd för att karakterisera berggrunden vid ÖnnesFor both construction and exploration purposes, knowledge of the subsurface is important. Geophysical exploration methods can be used to acquire an overview of an area on which further investigations can be based. In this study direct current resistivity and induced polarization data, inverted with a Cole-Cole model in program AarhusInv, are used to characterize the bedrock at Önneslöv in Scania,
The purpose of this thesis is to determine how electric vehicle trucks can meet the needs of customers in the urban building and construction sector. This sector contributes significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and also creates noise and other disturbances in urban environments. There are multiple benefits that come with electric trucks, which can address these issues if they are used
This study makes a numeric and visual comparison of two different multibeam echo sounding (MBES) surveys performed at the exact same location, in an effort to establish how reliable and comparable the vertical depth measurements are. The horizontal position uncertainty is not issued in this study. The analysis was performed on data delivered by two survey contractors, The Norwegian Coastal Admini
Förenta Nationernas fredsbevarande operationer har under nästan två decennier besvärats av anklagelser om sexuellt utnyttjande av och sexuella övergrepp på civilbefolkningar. Flera rapporter visar inte bara att organisationens fredsbevarande styrkor begår dessa brott mot just de människor de fått i uppdrag att beskydda, utan också att de undgår ansvar och straff. Denna uppsats undersöker och utvärUnited Nations peacekeeping operations have, for the better part of two decades, been plagued by allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse of local civilian populations. Several reports indicate not only that peacekeepers exploit and abuse the very people they were sent to protect, but also that these crimes routinely go unpunished. This thesis examines and evaluates the different methods of ho
Due to the focus of their study program, environmental and sustainability students are vulnerable to experience negative emotional impacts, potentially affecting their mental health. This thesis contributes to increased understanding of emotions and emotional resilience in relation to the climate crisis by examining experienced emotions, studying the power students have over their emotions, and po
As the need to adapt to a changing climate and the political rhetoric in this regard are growing, Berlin’s Senate has issued strategic policies – complemented by an increase of funding. Berlin’s socio-cultural features and place-based factors seem predisposed for so-called “Nature-based Solutions” (NbS) that can support the achievement of adaptation efforts. This encouraging context seems to be co
Climate change is the greatest challenge of our time. Despite efforts to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG), the emissions contribution from global aviation is set to increase. Electric aviation has emerged as an alternative which could form part of the solution. Sweden, which is on the path to carbon neutrality and has a long history in aviation, could contribute to the global efforts in mitigating clim
Smart City is a paradigm for the development of urban spaces through the implementation of state-of-the-art ICT. There are two main approaches when developing Smart Cities: top-down and bottom-up. Based on the bottom-up approach, the concepts of Smart People and Smart Communities have emerged as dimensions of the Smart City, advocating for the engagement of citizens in Smart People initiatives. Th
This thesis examines the phenomena of third-party enforcement in public international law, in a historical as well as in a contemporary perspective. To that end, it traces the role of such enforcement measures from the past into the present. It also studies the potential discrepancies between current unilateral sanctions and the recent changes experienced by international law at large. Two legal m
Uppsatsen undersöker den internationella straffrättens förväntningar på ansvarighållandet av företagsledare på individnivå. Vidare utreds huruvida nationell rätt, här svensk rätt i jämförelse med tysk, uppfyller de krav och förväntningar som den internationella straffrätten ställer på nationell reglering. Dessutom syftar uppsatsen till att sätta svensk reglering av medverkansansvar för företagsledThe thesis investigates the expectations of international criminal law on the prosecution of corporate leaders on an international and domestic level for international crimes based on the sources, purposes, and principles guiding international criminal law. Also, this thesis examines whether domestic law, here Swedish, is compliant with the obligations and expectations presented by international c
Syftet med denna studien var att undersöka hur kommunikation som sägs vara icke-stereotypisk framställer genus och utmanar eller reproducerar traditionella stereotyper i reklam. För att studera detta fenomen valdes det svenska företaget Estrid ut, som säger sig kommunicera till alla människor. Genom att studera detta fenomen har studien bidragit med kunskap kring hur visuell kommunikation kan bådeThis paper aimed to investigate how advertising stereotypes can be challenged or reproduced and how gender is performed, in the context of an allegedly non-stereotypical company. In order to investigate this matter, we conducted a multimodal social semiotic analysis of the Swedish company Estrid, whose razor blades are communicated to all humans. By analyzing various semiotic resources, the paper
Generally regarded as a sustainable country, Costa Rica faces the future challenge of maintaining their renewable energy performance amidst climate change impacts and the need to integrate intermittent renewables. This thesis explores the opportunities and barriers for Costa Rica to achieve 100% renewable electricity while maintaining energy security, despite its developing nation status. Through
This thesis explores various aspects of urban design and societal factors that contribute to creating child-friendly environments. The study begins by examining child-friendly design, emphasizing the significance of considering children’s needs in urban planning. Following this, a city-wide analysis of Reykjavík is conducted, exploring the swimming pool culture, the preschool and school system, an
Forensic sexual assault samples typically contain a mixture of a small quantity of sperm cells and a high quantity of epithelial cells. This relationship complicates the generation of a DNA profile, which prompts the need for differential lysis and extraction of the DNA. Differential extraction is a lengthy method that includes multiple tube transfers and requires a purification step. Amicon Ultra
The building sector contributes to one-fifth of Sweden’s total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and consumes 40 % of the final energy consumption. To achieve the climate goals set by the Swedish government, the building sector requires rapid development to reduce its climate impact. The climate impact of buildings comes from two types of energy throughout the building's lifecycle: operational an
