Ett problem som uppstår med ökningen av förnybara energikällor är att det oregelbundna beteendet, hos framförallt sol och vindkraft, gör det svårt att styra produktionen utifrån efterfrågan på energi. En potentiell lösning på detta problem är att lagra energin i flytande luft. För att undersöka hur denna metod lämpar sig för energilagring har en modell av ett fristående energilagringssystem med flThe aim of this project was to create a model of the stand-alone LAES for use in future work at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery (SIT). The model was created in IPSEpro with components developed from the software's standard library of power plant components. Required fluid properties were obtained from the Refprop DLL. This was accessed through the development of a DLL, functioning as a link

This study aims to analyze experiences and attitudes that the AML employees at Danske Bank have towards the relevant legislation and regulation due to their crime prevention work against money laundering. The employees' experiences were composed through semi-structured interviews of a total of 5 employees selected in the bank´s two departmental teams within AML: Compliance and AML Advisors. Th

Elektricitet går inte att upptäcka med de flesta av våra sinnen men utgör en fara som orsakar nästan 1000 arbetsrelaterade olyckor per år som leder till att omkring 4 personer mister livet varje år. Intressant att undersöka är hur förbättrad riskhantering och säkerhetsarbete kan bidra till en lösning på detta problem. Om alla lagar och rekommendationer följs är det i princip omöjligt att drabbas When planning for electrical installation work it is suggested in ESA, Elsäkerhetsanvisningarna, to conduct some sort of risk assessment both before and during the work to maintain a certain electrical safety level. These risk assessments vary between different companies both in quality and method, but the aim is the same. One of the issues arise from the fact that risk assessment in ESA is not sp

Sociala medier kan med fördel användas av organisationer i kommunikationen utåt. Därför är det av intresse för forskning och språkkonsulter att undersöka hur organisationer kan och bör använda sociala medier. Denna uppsats undersöker organisationers användning av sociala medier via en fallstudie av ett urval av Naturskyddsföreningens Instagram- och Facebookinlägg. Undersökningen är en kvalitativ g

When a person is suspected of a crime, the prosecutor can demand that the court detains the suspect during the preliminary investigation. It is not uncommon that restrictions are applied when being put in remand during an ongoing investigation. This is one of the reasons prosecutors demand a suspect be kept in custody in order to secure the criminal investigation. There has been criticism directed

In recent years, digital transmission techniques have been continuously evolving by employing increasingly more advanced Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS). However, when the wireless channel is varying rapidly, it is hard or even impossible for the transmitter to select the proper MCS. In this thesis work, a high MCS is employed at the transmitter, irrespective of channel conditions, in order t

The climate change has become a popular discourse in western countries and there is a higher awareness of global warming than previously among the current millennials generation in China, while climate change is not a mainstream social discourse in China. Situated in the case of Chinese millennials studying in Sweden, a country with a high reputation as an environmental pioneer in preventing clima

Wine is an important cultural crop and is grown in vineyards that sometimes claim to have a unique "terroir" - a specific taste and character based on their physical attributes and location. Regulations and previously published work are not easily available, into how to measure and assess this terroir. It is important for countries such as Sweden to have a terroir assessment system, whic

Den ökande produktionsvolymen av engångsplaster har negativ påverkan på klimatet. De resulterande havsplastföroreningarna har omfattande konsekvenser för marint liv. Som ett resultat har Europaparlamentet infört ett förbud mot engångsplaster till år 2021, vilket gör att det av grundläggande betydelse att studera alternativa och hållbara material för engångsprodukter som sugrör. Tidigare forskning The increasing production of single-use plastics negatively affects the climate. The resulting plastic ocean debris has fatal consequences to marine life. As a result, the European Parliament has placed a ban on single-use plastics by 2021, making it essential to study sustainable materials for single-use products such as straws. Previous research has investigated how enzymes can be used to cataly

This bachelor’s thesis focuses on the construction of victimization in interrogations with the claimants in cases of cyberstalking. There has been a big evolvement in the field of technology and use of social media in the last decade, which has resulted in new ways of committing crimes. Stalking per se is an old phenomenon but the new possibilities that the development in technology brings leads t

3D-models of bone structures from computed tomography (CT) data can be used for surgical planning, education and a wide range of other purposes. They can also be used in both digital and 3D-printed format. The currently used process to obtain such models consists of a combination of thresholding, morphological operations and manual adjustments. This can be very time-consuming. Deep Learning (DL) c

Increasingly severe consequences of fossil fuel consumption have proliferated the exigency of an energy transition to zero and low-carbon electricity generation technology. Despite its relative reduction in market share in the United States, coal continues to play a role in future energy scenarios. This study examines the contiguous U.S. by combining historical data on coal-fired power plants with

The thesis examines what makes a cross-organizational collaboration between a multinational company and an NGO successful, by revieweing what factors play an important role in a project's life cycle, from a corporate perspective. The thesis is based on project management theories within the subjects of international business and cross-organizational teams. A qualitative research strategy with

Thesis Purpose: We aim to enhance the understanding of why Swedish consumers perform pro-environmental behaviors and how this can be influenced by managers and marketers in the shopping mall environment, making the mall more attractive and shoppers more loyal. Theoretical Perspective: We take on a sociological perspective by researching constructs based on identity theory, conspicuous consumption

This paper studies the determinants shaping the likelihood of being active in the non-farm sector in the rural economies of Sub-Saharan Africa. More specifically, the push, pull and capacity factors for a cross-sectional sample of rural Uganda and Ethiopia are explored. Using the newest nationally representative household surveys from 2015/16 for both countries, the determinants are examined for 2

Introduction: The knowledge of the diffusion coefficient of a solute in neat carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 mixed with organic solvents is of importance as it correlates to the efficiency of chromatography and extraction processes. Background: Several studies have been found in literature for diffusion coefficients measurements of different solutes in neat carbon dioxide, but to our knowledge rather

Dagens smartphones – inte så klimatsmarta I dagens slit-och-släng-samhälle köper folk de senaste modellerna bara för att vara trendiga, men lämnar sin gamla telefon i byrålådan. Vid tillverkning av mobiltelefoner krävs även många olika material och utvinning av dem bidrar till stor miljöpåverkan. Återvinningsföretaget Sysav står nu i ett vägskäl mellan hur de ska välja tjänstetelefoner till företThe cell phone industry is one of the most linear sectors, which means high resource consumption in the production of telephones and difficulties in repair. In addition, only 10-12% take-back of used units takes place, the rest are often forgotten in drawers or handled incorrectly. An interesting area of research is how companies can make their choices to reduce the life cycle environmental impact
