To address contemporary challenges like climate change, technological innovation becomes ever more important. Innovation is the product of a vast array of interactions between actors in the economy and it is vital to understand the relations between these. This quantitative study examines the interplay between highly skilled human capital and public R&D funding to private sector firms at the r

Att byta från fossila bränslen till biobränslen är ett vanligt sätt för många verksamheter att bidra till en grön omställning. I takt med att klimatförändringarna förvärras och krav på åtgärder ökar, förväntas efterfrågan på biobränslen öka i Sverige samt andra delar av världen. För att säkra en hållbar omställning, är det viktigt att granska biobränslenas påverkan på miljö och människors hälsa. IBiofuels are seen as a key substitute for fossil fuels and an essential tool for mitigating climate change. A sensitivity analysis was conducted on the AB-LCA (agent-based life cycle assessment) made by Raül López i Losada and his research team. Their AB-LCA assesses the environmental performance of a subsidy that generates an allocation of the arable land in Götalands Södra Slättbygder (GSS) that

Utanför Dalarö i Stockholms skärgård ligger ön Aspö. Det är en två kilometer lång remsa av granit, täckt av ljung och tall. I norr höjer den sig 30 meter över havet och sluttar sedan ner i vattnet i söder. Längst i norr, lutande mot berget, ligger min familjs sommarställe där jag spenderat alla min barndoms somrar. På tomten finns idag fem små stugor, de flesta byggda av min mormors man Anders ell

Enligt EU-direktiv måste fler tekniska lösningar introduceras i lantbruket med bakgrund till de ökande miljökrav och ekonomiska påtryckningar i världen. Som svar på detta har redan tekniskt styrda radrensare och styrd besprutning börjat etableras på marknaden. Till skillnad från individuella plantvårdssystem som kamerastyrda radhackor, kan GPS-styrda system identifiera fröpositioner innan uppkomstWith higher demands on farmers to reduce the usage of fertilizers and pes ti cides because of their negative environmental impact, as well as the rising prices of resources required for agriculture, precision agriculture has become a big focus in today’s agriculture research. Individual plant care systems are a big part of precision agriculture, and accurate information about the po si tions of in

The authors of this paper identified a gap in the debate revolving around innovation during a crisis and recognized the importance of exploring whether being highly innovative is universally desirable across all sectors during times of crisis. While previous research has emphasized the positive impact of innovation on performance, it is essential to investigate the negative impact of innovation an

Idag är mer än hälften av svenskarna överviktiga. Samtidigt som övervikten ökar, får vi dagligen information om hur vi bör se ut. Den smala kroppen exemplifieras oftast som idealet och tidigare forskning visar hur tjocka personer stigmatiseras konsekvent. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka detta fenomen genom överviktsopererade kvinnors egna upplevelser av skillnader i bemötandet. Vidare vil

The aim of this study is to investigate the latest events regarding the burning of the Koran in Sweden. The discussion on the subject began in 2022, along with the Easter riots, and after the police granted permission for the burning of the Koran outside the Turkish embassy in early 2023, international criticism of Sweden arose. This study investigates what kind of legal alternatives police have

This paper is the first exhaustive investigation of a single kanji component: the ito element. Although, this element generally refers to thread or textile, the study examined this relationship and found a strong relationship to silk, cocoons, and craft—particularly weaving. A surprising find was the connection to dyeing/colour, which might not be obvious to the average student of Japanese. Moreov

On the 19 of October 2004 two people in Linköping, Sweden were murdered. Police secured DNA from the perpetrator, however it could not further the investigation since the DNA was not in the police registry. The case remained cold until 2020 when a new method of ancestral DNA was used, referred to as IGG. The method was previously tested in the USA and solved plenty of cold cases. The double homici

Literature has long been an effective vehicle for conveying women’s morals and opinions when they have otherwise been ignored and supressed. Fifty years apart, Anne Brontë and Olive Schreiner wrote fiction critical of different aspects of marriage with noticeably different results and conclusions. This project aims to investigate the basis for these differences by using Elaine Showalter’s idea of

Nature-based solutions (NbS) are gaining popularity as tools to address societal challenges while providing social, economic, and environmental benefits. Given that NbS is a relatively new concept, there is a lack of guidance on how NbS in urban areas can be adapted to fit their socio-spatial context and provide benefits. This research uses an exploratory comparative case study between Rotterdam,

This master's thesis investigates the feasibility of implementing field-oriented control for a BLDC motor without relying on a position sensor from a standstill up to 400 rad/s. To achieve this objective, various approaches were used at standstill and high speeds. The high-frequency injection method was used at standstill and lower speeds, while a method based on estimated magnetic flux was ut

Kroniska sår är sår som inte lyckas att läka över en lång tidsperiod. De karaktäriseras av kolonisering av bakterier vilka bildar en så kallad biofilm som ger upphov till ökat motstånd mot behandling. De behandlingsmetoder som finns idag mot kroniska sår är inte fulländade, då stor risk för resistens finns samt att de inte kan förstöra biofilmen. Idag är över 40 miljoner människor drabbade av kronChronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improvi
