Givet ett harmoniskt vektorfält u på en begränsad domän kallar vi den mängd där u träder in i domänen för inträdesrand och den mängd där u lämnar domänen utträdesrand. I den första delen av detta examensarbete ställer vi frågan om det är möjligt att ha inre stagnationspunkter och sammanhängande inträdes- och utträdesrand. Svaret i två dimensioner är ‘nej’ för en domän som är homeomorf till skivan.Given a harmonic vector field u on a bounded domain we call the set on which u enters the domain entrant boundary and the set on which u exits the domain emergent boundary. In the first part of this thesis we ask the question of whether it is possible to have interior stagnation points and connected entrant and emergent boundaries. The answer in two dimensions for a domain homeomorphic to a disc i

I uppsatsen utforskas paradoxen i att klädföretag kommunicerar sig eller sina produkter med hållbarhet, när de tillhör en industri som har en betydande miljöpåverkan. Detta görs genom att analysera hur klädföretaget Asket inkluderar miljömedvetenhet i sin marknadsföring och affärside. Genom att applicera teorier såsom Maaks moraliska ledarskap och James W. Careys ritualperspektiv på kommunikation,

The growing proportion of green energy in the electricity grids brings with it a growing need of grid stabilizing resources to counteract the inherent intermittency of renewable energy resources. This is where the grid scale energy storages come in handy. They efficiently offset the intermittencies of solar, wind etc. resources by energy arbitrage and peak shifting. This thesis looks into the econ

Traditionally hydraulic actuators has been the primary choice in modern submarines due to their strength and reliability. In recent years many commercial and military vehicles have switched to electromechanical alternatives, as they are generally more energy efficient and have superior controllability. These are two attributes valued in a submarine, hence an investigation was carried out to assess

Bakgrund: Familjen påverkas på olika sätt när ett barn med funktionsnedsättning föds. Det ökade omvårdnadsbehovet som barnet med Downs Syndrom kan ha gör att normtypiska syskon kan få påverkan på sina vardagsaktiviteter. Detta då mer av föräldrarnas tid läggs på barnet med Downs syndrom. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka vardagens aktiviteter och möjligheten till en meningsfull fritiBackground: Families are affected in different ways when a child with impairments is born. The increased caring need that the child with Down Syndrome may have, means that normtypical siblings’ everyday activities might be affected. This, because more of the parents' time is spent on the child with Down Syndrome. Aim: The purpose of the study is to investigate everyday activities and the p

Som en del i klimatomställningen av svåråtkomliga sektorer som sjöfart, flyg, och kemiindustri kan elektrobränslen komma att spela en viktig roll. I Sverige har e-metanol väckt intresse, och flera produktionsanläggninar är planerade eller under byggnation. Dessa kommer att vara stora elkonsumenter, men på grund av den traditionellt icke-flexibla metanolsyntesprocessen finns det frågetecken kring hAs a part of the climate transition of hard-to-abate sectors such as shipping, aviation, and chemical industry, electrofuels may play a key part. In Sweden, e-methanol has gained interest, and several production facilities are currently planned or under construction. These will be very large electricity consumers, but because of the traditionally inflexible methanol synthesis they may not be able

The research will also examine how consumer perceptions of privacy and transparency in the use of AI impact these relationships. Theoretical perspective: The study’s literature review explores AI-driven personalized advertising

This paper examines the relationship between female representation on corporate boards and financial performance in Swedish publicly listed companies from 2015 to 2023, excluding the year 2018. This study explores whether a higher proportion of women on boards of directors correlates with improved financial outcomes, measured by Tobin's Q. The empirical strategy employs both pooled Ordinary Le

With the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN undergoing a major upgrade, including enhancements to the luminosity capabilities, it is essential to upgrade the main detector's components, especially ATLAS's inner detector, to ensure optimal performance. This thesis investigates the reliability testing of Inner Tracker (ITk) modules for the ATLAS experiment. It contributes to the development

Den grupp kemiska ämnen som är orsaken till att chilipeppar kan upplevas som brännande, varmt men även starkt kallas för kapsaicinoider. Anledning är att dessa ämnen interagerar och binder till värmereceptorer i vår kropp, vilket läkemedelsindustrin har intresserat sig för. Dessa ämnen har nämligen smärtlindrande egenskaper och har även visat sig vara effektiva mot sjukdomar som bland annat neuropChili peppers are known for causing a pungent sensation due to the presence of capsaicinoid compounds in their fruits. In the Capsicum genus, capsaicin biosynthesis relies on the condensation of vanillylamine and the fatty acid 8-methyl-6-nonenoic acid, a reaction catalyzed by an acyltransferase. Currently, capsaicin has become a highly relevant molecule to the pharmaceutical industry due to its a

Kollektivtrafiken skapar nytta för både privatpersoner och samhället i stort, och bidrar med bemötandet av en rad samhällsmål relaterade till miljö, transportsäkerhet och tillgängliga transportlösningar.

It plays a crucial role in achieving national goals related to sustainable development and climate change mitigation. However, in its aim to increase competitiveness to other modes of trans

This paper analyzes the impact of trade shocks on the female labor force. The EU enlargement of 2004 entailed a potential trade shock for Germany as trade barriers fell. With an increase in export opportunities and an increase in import competition, the enlargement could have an effect on the German labor market. The analysis is a quantitative approach of a panel data analysis and ranges between 1

Lignin är ett ämne som finns i alla växter och bidrar med stabilitet genom och skydd mot an-grepp från bland annat svampar och bakterier. Ämnet produceras i huvudsak som en biprodukt när träd används för att producera pappersmassa genom olika metoder, och omkring 100 miljoner ton lignin produceras varje år. Tack vare att lignin har en speciell struktur, där aromatiska molekyler är sammanlänkade i To decrease the dependency of fossil-based raw materials in society, and with that, the chemical industry, new and sustainable raw materials need to be investigated. Lignin is an abundant aromatic biopolymer, that can be used to produce, e.g. aromatic fine chemicals through depolymerization. In this master’s thesis, different homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts were screened for oxidative depo

Manufacturing companies increasingly adopt the strategy of adding services to their product offerings to differentiate themselves and overcome product commoditization. The bundling of products and services in complex product-service systems has the potential of high value creation and superior customer experiences. However, this shift requires business model innovation and acquisition of capabilit

The Klein--Gordon equation is a relativistic wave equation which models a relativistic spin-free particle. In this thesis we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the linear Klein-Gordon equation with a rapidly decaying potential in one space dimension. This is done by first studying the case with zero potential and finding asymptotic estimates using the method of stationary phase. This is a met
