As the global power generation is shifted toward renewable and intermittent sources, the importance of fuel cells and other energy storage and conversion devices is continually increasing. However, many of these technologies are still under development and further research is necessary before they can be implemented. This is the case for the hydroxide exchange membrane fuel cell (HEMFC), which has
Partnervåld utgör ett allvarligt samhällsproblem med omfattande konsekvenser för både individer och samhälle. För att minska risken för skada till följd av problemet behöver socialtjänsten arbeta med både primär och sekundär prevention. Ett effektivt förebyggande arbete förutsätter emellertid kunskap om den tidsmässiga ordningen och variationen av riskfaktorer som är förknippade med utövande av paIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious social issue with profound consequences for individuals and society. To reduce the risk of harm caused by IPV perpetration, social services need to engage in both primary and secondary prevention efforts targeting the issue. However, effective preventive work requires knowledge about the temporal sequence and variability of risk factors associated with
Studien undersöker migration som fenomen med syfte att bredda förståelsen för upplevelser av flyktingskap och exil hos ungdomar. Fokus är hur den enskilde individens erfarenheter samverkar med sociala processer. Psykoanalytiska, postkoloniala och sociologiska teorier används i tolkningen. Sju semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes och analyserades med hjälp av narrativ metod. IntervjupersonernaThe aim of this study was to widen the understanding of how young refugees experience forced migration and exile. Furthermore, the ambition was to explore how the individual experience interacts with wider social-political processes. Seven semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed with narrative method. Psychoanalytical, postcolonial- and sociological theories were used as a tool for

Abstract The idea of the spread of life through the galaxy is, in most minds, considered science fiction. Yet, scientists argue that most galaxies have had more than enough time for civilisation development and space travel. In this thesis I simulate how civilisations can spread through the galaxy via close encountering stars, assuming they travel at sub-relativistic speeds. A defined region arou
A specific motif depicting death is the personification of death in combination with a young woman. This constellation is usually referred to as “Death and the Maiden”. The motif’s origins lie around the 16th century but was given a special revival a few centuries later. The main aim of this study is to examine the motif of Death and the Maiden, both with regard to its historical origin and how i
The primary settling tank (PST) is often one of the first treatment steps at a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and is the first process in the plant to remove significant amounts of suspended solids. Its role in wastewater treatment however, has oftentimes been neglected and little effort has been made to optimize and model the process. The PSTs have historically been designed based on hydraulic
New food products are constantly put on the market. Today the focus often lies in creating nutritional and sustainable products to reduce the environmental impact of the product in question. One example of this is the approval of the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio Molitor, as a novel food in the European union. To efficiently include the protein fraction of the yellow mealworm into food formulations, k

Forskningsfråga: Skiljer sig kapitalstrukturen mellan familjeföretag och icke-familjeföretag? Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om det finns en skillnad i kapitalstruktur mellan familjeföretag och icke-familjeföretag noterade på börsen i Sverige. Utöver det undersöks hur företagsspecifika variabler, som exempelvis storlek, bransch och lönsamhet, påverkar företagens skuldsättningsgrad. MetodResearch Question: Does the capital structure differ between family-owned and non-family-owned businesses? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a difference in capital structure between family-owned and non-family-owned companies listed on the Swedish stock market. Additionally, the study examines how firm-specific variables, such as size, industry, and profitabil
The purpose of this study was to investigate how counsellors in specialised palliative care view and relate to social and psychosocial support for bereaved relatives. The study's empirical material was obtained through qualitative semi-structured interviews with nine counsellors within specialised palliative care and was conducted in one of Sweden's southern health care regions. To analyse
In recent years, stormwater ponds have become a common feature in urban environments to manage an increasing amount of stormwater caused by densification of cities combined with increased precipitation due to climate changes. Stormwater ponds can be multifunctional, by providing several ecosystem services and functions as water purification, recreation and habitats for biodiversity in addition to
Delivering essential services to burgeoning peri-urban cities in the Sub-Sahara will only become an increasing challenge, as the population in this region is expected to double by 2050. Finding effective governance arrangements, institutional settings and building participatory arenas that give a greater voice to citizens and foster greater responsiveness from democratic authorities is a delicate
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur anställningsskyddet ser ut för arbetstagare med nedsatt arbetsförmåga (sjuka arbetstagare) i svensk rätt. Detta sker genom att med hjälp av den rättsdogmatiska metoden försöka fastställa när det kan anses vara sakligt enligt 7 § lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd att säga upp en sjuk arbetstagare. Nära kopplat till denna frågeställning är arbetsgivarThe purpose of this essay is to examine the employment protection for employees with reduced working ability (sick employees) in Swedish law. This is done by using the legal dogmatic method to determine when it may be considered just cause for dismissal of employment of a sick worker according to 7 § Employment Protection Act, LAS. The employer's responsibility for rehabilitation is closley li
Arbetstagarbegreppet avgränsar arbetsrättens tillämpningsområde. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och analysera hur det svenska civilrättsliga arbetstagarbegreppet förhåller sig till de nya arbetsformer som plattformsekonomin medför. Det finns ingen legaldefinition av arbetstagarbegreppet, utan begreppet har utvecklats i förarbeten, praxis och doktrin. För att en arbetspresterande ska anses vThe notion of employee defines the personal scope of labour law.

In Swedish law there is no legal definition of the notion of employee. Instead the content of the concept has been developed in legal preparatory work, case law and
The threat of potentially catastrophic climate change has led to 195 countries pledging to keep global average temperature rise well below 2°C based on pre-industrial levels. Wind energy technology has developed to a point where it can make a significant contribution to meeting this objective. A number of countries have developed substantial wind energy networks in recent years which in turn has a
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) is a highly nonlinear optical process in which extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation is generated due to the interaction of an intense laser field with atoms. This process enables the production of high harmonics, which would not be achieved with standard nonlinear media. The utilization of two-color laser fields (formed by combining a fundamental field with one
