If we are to limit global warming to 2 °C, all sectors in all countries must reduce their emissions of GHGs to zero not later than 2060–2080. Zero-emission options have been less explored and are less developed in the energy-intensive basic materials industries than in other sectors. Current climate policies have not yet motivated major efforts to decarbonize this sector, and it has been largely p
Changes in forest cover have a strong effect on climate through the alteration of surface biogeophysical and biogeochemical properties that affect energy, water and carbon exchange with the atmosphere. To quantify biogeophysical and biogeochemical effects of deforestation in a consistent setup, nine Earth system models (ESMs) carried out an idealized experiment in the framework of the Coupled Mode
Ecological intensification has been embraced with great interest by the academic sector but is still rarely taken up by farmers because monitoring the state of different ecological functions is not straightforward. Modelling tools can represent a more accessible alternative of measuring ecological functions, which could help promote their use amongst farmers and other decision-makers. In the case
Human trafficking är ett världsomspännande problem som kränker individers mänskliga rättigheter och som även kränker deras värdighet som människor. Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera och problematisera svenska myndigheters arbete kring trafficking. Trafficking är ett fenomen som kan uppfattas på många olika sätt. På grund av detta är det därför väsentligt att myndigheternas arbete är kompat
This thesis explores the complex and diverse ways in which European Muslim converts create and negotiate a sense of belonging as migrants in Dubai. Drawing on ethnographic work conducted in the fall of 2015, it provides an intimate account of the lives of European Muslim women in Dubai. By addressing the intersection between migration and religious conversion, this thesis seeks to add to existing
Trust has attracted academic attention as the crucial social capital to foster economic development. Especially in analysing today’s knowledge-based economy, the influential role of trust on innovation has been studied by many researchers due to the favourable feature of trust in accelerating knowledge exchange and collaboration in innovation networks. However, the quantitative relationship betwee
Byggnadssektorn stod för 39 % av energi- och processrelaterade koldioxidutsläpp år 2018 och globala utsläpp från byggnader ökade med 2 % för det andra året i rad. Därför är det viktigt att ta fram lösningar på byggnadsdesign som minimerar klimatpåverkan från byggnader. Samtidigt som produktionen av bostäder och kommersiella byggnader måste vara kostnadseffektiv för att skapa boende och arbetsplatsThe building and construction sector accounted for 39% of energy and process-related carbon dioxide emissions in 2018 and global emissions from buildings increased by 2% for the second consecutive year. It is therefore important to find building design solutions that minimise the climate impact of buildings. At the same time, the production of residential houses and commercial buildings must be co
This thesis investigates how organizational structures shape Global Health Partnerships (GHP) between Rigshospitalet, a Danish public hospital, and partners in the Global South. Through semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis, it examines how power-dynamics, decision-making, and resource access are experienced and navigated by involved actors. Findings reveal that while GHPs are seen as c
Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke och hjärtstopp innebär ett minskat eller obefintligt blodflöde (ischemi) till hjärnans celler. Dessa celler är speciellt känliga för ischemi och om blodtflödet är lågt under en längre period leder det till obotliga hjärnskador. Varje år drabbas ungefär 50 000 personer i Sverige av hjärnischemi, vilket gör tillståndet till ett av de vanligaste orsakerna till handiCerebral ischemia is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in the western world. Even though much effort has been put into research and development of effective drugs against ischemic damage there is to date no effective pharmacological brain protective treatment. In order to study particular molecular mechanisms, isolated cellular events and the contribution of individual factors in ischemic d

Deoxyribonucleoside kinases (dNKs) are important to DNA metabolism, especially in environments where nucleosides are freely available to be absorbed and used for the salvage pathway. Little has previously been known about the complement of dNKs in different bacterial genomes. However, it was believed that Gram-negative bacteria had a single dNK, while Gram-positive bacteria possessed several. An a
Fuel cells (FCs) are promising for future energy systems, since they are energy efficient and fuel can be produced locally. When hydrogen is used as fuel, there are no emissions of greenhouse gases. In this study a two dimensional CFD (COMSOL Multiphysics) is employed to study the effect from porous material surface area ratio on reforming reaction rates and gas species distributions for an anode-
