In the quest to find a ‘least cost solution’ for climate change mitigation that do not interfere with business-as-usual, carbon trading and PES schemes were introduced. PES schemes with carbon forestry projects are implemented in the Global South as a win-win-win tool for climate change mitigation and sustainable development. In this thesis, the Ugandan carbon forestry project Trees for Global Ben

Since research on disposal behaviour of home textile products is currently limited, it is relevant to explore consumers’ decision-making when handling no-longer-wanted home textiles. This thesis aims to better understand consumers

Due to the EU Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive, it is the Swedish legislator’s responsibility to introduce certain interest limitation rules to counter aggressive tax planning before the end of 2018. Due to this, and because the legislator considers that there is a distortion between own and borrowed capital, where loan funding is subsidized due to interest-rate deductions, the Swedish Ministry of Fin

In 2018, the Swedish government decided to invest 350 million SEK in welfare technology as a response to the increasing population of the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate implementation managers’ descriptions of their work and use of welfare technology. The interviews were conducted at three long-term facilities for the elderly in the municipality of Burlöv, Helsingborg, and Hässl

Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID) is an enzyme and key component of both 15 class-switch recombination and somatic hypermutation, two mechanisms used by activated B 16 cells to diversify their antigen repertoire, as it catalyzes the deamination of deoxycytidines turning 17 them into deoxyuridines, introducing mutations in immunoglobulin genes. AID, however, can also 18 target enhancer re

Det övergripande temat för denna uppsats är inriktat mot att reda ut den komplicerade, och i doktrin väl diskuterade, lojalitetsplikten för styrelsen i ett aktiebolag. Lojalitetsplikten är inte uttryckligen lagstadgad i Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) (ABL), dess existens erkänns dock av en majoritet i doktrin. Diskussionen i doktrin hänvisar både till regler och allmänna rättsprinciper för att bekräfThe general theme of this thesis is directed towards unravelling the complicated, and in doctrine well discussed, duty of loyalty for the board of directors in a corporate company. The duty of loyalty is not explicitly legislated in the Swedish Company Act, however the majority in Swedish doctrine recognizes its exist-ence. The discussion in doctrine refers to rules as well as general principles o

The competitive corporate environment of today, as marked by continuous changes and enhanced global competition, forces companies to constantly adapt their current business activities and increasingly excel. Innovation is considered a critical imperative in order to respond to these increased competitive threats. Hence, innovation ought to permeate corporate environments and their inherent busines

Att behandla tumörsjukdomar genom injektion av radioaktiva läkemedel är en behandlingsteknik kallad radionuklidterapi. Det radioaktiva läkemedlet består av en radioaktiv isotop, fäst på en målsökande bärarmolekyl, specifik för den vävnad vari man önskar att läkemedlet skall ansamlas. Då den radioaktiva isotopen sönderfaller sänds joniserande strålning ut; strålning med förmågan att jonisera molekyIntroduction: There is a need of reassessment of radiation absorbed dose specification in nuclear medicine, taking the non-uniformities in the distribution of radioactivity into account. This is especially important in radionuclide therapies where very high activities are administered and the radionuclides emit alpha particles, beta particles or low-energy electron and will require absorbed dose c

Studiens syfte var att undersöka betydelsen av joint engagement för tre-fyraåringars prestation på false belief-testet Maxi. Joint engagement, som beskriver upplevelsen av att dela ett objekt eller händelse med någon annan, har i tidigare studier associerats med perspektivtagande. En testsituation designades där false belief-testet administrerades i form av en film om karaktären Maxi. Ett nytt tesThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of joint engagement on three- to four year old children’s performance on the false belief-task Maxi. Joint engagement has been associated with perspective taking in previous studies and refers to the child’s and the adult’s mutual engagement in an object. The false belief-task in this study was designed as a film about the character Maxi. Another

Cancer kan drabba vem som helst och kan ha sitt ursprung i många olika områden i kroppen. Antalet nya cancerfall ökar varje år, men vissa typer av cancer har bättre prognos än andra. Den vanligaste cancertypen i Sverige är prostatacancer och den drabbar framför allt äldre män. Prostatacancer har god prognos och det finns effektiva metoder att helt bota prostat- acancer om den behandlas i ett tidigPurpose: Recent developments in external radiotherapy and its utilization with artificial in- telligence (AI) enables advanced treatment plans for a range of different disease sites. By adapting to the anatomy of the day, target coverage can be ensured while sparing more healthy tissue. The purpose of this project was to study the feasibility and benefits of daily cone beam computed tomography (CB

På grund av ökad immigration till Sverige finns ett behov av att undersöka hur denna påverkar aktivitet, hälsa och meningsfullhet. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilken eller vilka förändringar av aktivitetsmönstret som skett i Sverige i jämförelse med hemlandet och hur detta kan påverka kvinnliga flyktingars upplevelse av hälsa och meningsfullhet i vardagen. En kvalitativ metod med semistru

Bakterier är något som finns överallt. En del goda, som gynnar vår tarmflora, medan en del är onda och kan ge oss infektioner och matförgiftningar vid fel hantering. Just för RTE-sallader (ready-to-eat) är det extra viktigt att rutiner följs eftersom de inte värmebehandlas. Faktorerna som påverkar bakteriernas tillväxt är tillgång till näring, vatten, pH, temperatur, salt, socker och syre. Detta a

Nowadays, is becoming increasingly frequent holding events in outdoor environments, involving a large number of people, even though these spaces were not designed from a safe prospective, in the way that safety is defined today. In such events, high density conditions is an ongoing issue, as the evacuation becomes very complex, due to the space design and the interaction among the pedestrians. It

Kommunalt arbete för privat konsumtion som inte hotar klimatet. Ska Sverige nå de utsläppsmål av växthusgaser som krävs för att förhindra en global katastrof i form av ökade temperaturer på vår planet, måste den genomsnittliga svensken minska sina totala årliga utsläpp till vad som idag motsvarar en flygresa tur och retur till Thailand. För att möjliggöra de stora samhälls- och livsstilsförändrinThe Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has come to the conclusion that Sweden must cut their greenhouse gas emissions by around 80 % until the year 2050 for it to be possible to meet the climate targets set by the UN. This study aims to show what role the municipalities in Sweden play in the transition of the society to sustainable levels of emissions, focusing on private consumption. The pur

There are plenty of IT-consultancy firms operating today, and the numbers show that they keep getting more and more. At the same time, the demand for these services are increasing. The biggest issue that these firms face today is related to finding new business opportunities. The complexity surrounding the purchase of these services make it a complex subject that is hard to fully grasp. It include

Water for Injection (WFI) is a critical utility in pharmaceutical manufacturing, traditionally produced through an energy-intensive distillation process. This thesis investigates the feasibility of a more sustainable alternative, ambient WFI production using membrane-based purification technologies combined with ozonation in the storage and distribution loop. Conducted in collaboration with AstraZ

The AI Commission prescribed a governance model, namely centralized leadership, to tackle existing digitalization challenges, as outlined in the Roadmap for Sweden at the end of 2024. This research discussed the implications of the Roadmap for Sweden on welfare governance within the Automated Decision-making (ADM) context as interpreted through a Weberian theoretical and methodological framework.
