Vem tycker inte det är mysigt att sitta framför sin kamin, eldstad eller grill? Något som är gemensamt är att samtliga innefattar eldning av biomassa. Eldning av biomassa gör vi av många anledningar. Det kan vara allt från trivseleldning till uppvärmning och elförsörjning. Eldning för många kan vara att få möjligheten att laga mat, varför man eldar ser väldigt annorlunda ut i olika delar av världeBlack carbon (BC) is produced during incomplete combustion of Biomass and fossil fuels. BC and other carbonaceous pollutants have characteristics that affect the climate, environment, and human health. Historically, BC emissions have been measured and monitored in the atmosphere, and BC emissions to the air are quite well documented. Deposition in water and sediments has been less studied but is i

Disks around single white dwarfs have been observed as infrared excesses since 1987. Over time, these excesses have shown variability, leading to the conclusion that these debris disks undergo changes. However, the infrared excess should not be the only detectable signature from these disks. They are also expected to reflect visible light, a phenomenon yet to be studied for white dwarf debris disk

This study examines whether aid policies aimed at promoting national interests are more effective at generating economic growth in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) than traditional aid policies. Compared to traditional aid, these policies rely heavily on trade, as the effectiveness of foreign aid has long been under scrutiny. We assess the effectiveness of these aid policies by empirically investi

Minimilönedirektivet har trots sitt namn en minst lika viktig agenda: att främja kollektivavtalsförhandlingar i EU. Trots att direktivet ska vara implementerat i nationell lagstiftning senast november 2024 går det redan att urskilja kollektivavtalsfrämjande initiativ bland medlemsländerna. Denna uppsats syftar till att genom en rättsvetenskaplig analys redogöra för minimilönedirektivets bestämmelsThe Minimum Wage Directive, despite its name, has an equally important agenda: to promote collective bargaining in the EU. Although the directive must be implemented into national legislation by November 2024, collective bargaining initiatives can already be observed among the member states. This thesis aims to provide a legal analysis of the directive's provisions and its function in promotin

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka om barn i skolåldern lär sig ord på ett främmande språk bättre genom Virtual Reality (VR), där flera sinnen används, eller genom en datorskärm som är en mer traditionell inlärningsmetod. Vidare var syftet att undersöka sambandet mellan koncentration och de två inlärningsmetoderna. Metod: I studien deltog 71 elever i årskurs 4 och 6. Deltagarna fick tränPurpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze whether school-aged children learn words in a foreign language better by using Virtual Reality (VR), where they use multiple senses, or by using a computer which is a more traditional way of learning. Furthermore, the purpose was to investigate the relationship between concentration and the two different ways of word learning. Method: 71 students

För att säkerställa finansiell stabilitet och undvika framtida ekonomiska kriser är det viktigt att banker noggrant hanterar sin kreditrisk. En kritisk komponent i detta är att noggrant modellera sannolikheten för att en låntagare inte kan återbetala sitt lån, även känt som sannolikheten för konkurs (Probability of Default, PD). Mitt examensarbete fokuserar på att förbättra dessa förutsägelser genThis thesis investigates the application of spline regression models to predict the Probability of Default (PD) under varying macroeconomic conditions, exploring whether these models can enhance predictive accuracy over traditional linear models and compare favorably to XGBoost. The study analyses the non-linear dynamics between PD and key macroeconomic indicators within a Swedish small-sized corp

This thesis explores the intersection of intellectual property rights (IPRs) and sustainability, particularly focusing on the repair, reuse, refurbishment, recycling, and upcycling of IP-protected goods. The lack of a defined legal framework specifically addressing the balance between IPRs and sustainable practices in the European Union forms the core of this investigation. The study proposes a fr

During the winter smog season, Punjab experiences some of the world’s most hazardous air quality levels, largely driven by the open-field burning of agricultural residue. In response, the provincial government introduced a 60 percent subsidy for Super Seeders — tractor-mounted implements that mulch crop residue in-field, eliminating the need for burning. This thesis presents a formative, farmer-ce

Fuffagurus are a newly emerging phenomenon that has become popular on Social Media, especially in the Italian Case, in recent years. These self-proclaimed financial and business experts became a relevant figure among those of Influencers. Advertising an infallible Method to generate an unimaginable amount of money, they attracted thousands of followers interested in their alternative way to make a

The objective of this study is to map and analyze the different uses and distinctions between the two verbal forms synthetic future (cantaré) and periphrastic future (voy a cantar). The study examines whether there has been a shift in the frequency of general use between the two forms over the past 20 years, as well as maps out the different contexts and levels of formality in which each form appe

Amerikansk kurslitteratur och internationell forskning som förekommer på psykoterapeutprogrammets familjeinriktade gren poängterar inte sällan vikten av klienternas religiösa tro och att denna omtalas under terapeutiska sessioner med par. Motsvarigheten i svensk kurslitteratur och praxis upplevdes inte gå att finna, varför det har känts meningsfullt att undersöka hur ämnet talas om inom svensk faU.S. course literature and international research that appears at the psychotherapy program's fam. It is not uncommon for the discipline to emphasize the importance of the clients' religious beliefs and that this is brought up during therapeutic sessions with couples. The correspondence in Swedish course literature and practice was not perceived to be found, which is why it has felt meanin

In the last ten years labor economists have become increasingly interested in convex earnings structures in the labor market and their impact on the gender pay gap, an approach spearheaded by Claudia Goldin in her 2014 Presidential Address to the American Economic Association. The study has seen widespread acclaim, but very little replication. This study replicates parts of Claudia Goldin’s work,

In recent years, the field of generating synthetic images from novel view points has seen some major improvements. Most importantly with the publication of Neural Radiance Fields allowing for extremely detailed and accurate 3D novel views. Usage of LiDAR products to collect actual depth data has also seen an increase as it is immensely useful for achieving high resolution 3D mapping of a space. Ho

Detta arbete avser utreda vad mark- och miljödomstolen får göra, måste göra samt vad mark- och miljödomstolen gör i praktiken. Med vad domstolen får göra avses frivilliga initiativ domstolen tar i processen. Exempelvis att domstolen väljer att på olika sett styra processen eller inhämta bevisning. Med vad domstolen måste göra avses domstolen måste förhålla sig till när domstolen fattar beslut. ExeThe Land and Environment Court must base its decision on the procedural material and is bound to decide on the part of the cadastral procedure that is being contested. In theory, the court also have the right to provide their own evidence. In practice, the court plays a very passive role and use this right very seldomly. The rights and obligations of the court are not self-evident. Among the judg

Skogen är en viktig naturresurs, men dess kapacitet att stötta de ekosystemtjänster vi är beroende av beror på hur skogen mår. Dagens skogar i Sverige och Finland är dominerade av trakthyggesbruk som resulterar i kalhyggen med sämre förmåga att stötta biodiversitet och ekosystem. I Finland har man under de senaste åren ökat sin andel hyggesfritt skogsbruk i statligt ägda skogar vilket enligt stForestry in Fennoscandia is currently dominated by conventional rotation forestry, but an increased interest in continuous cover forestry (CCF) methods has been observed in both Finland and Sweden. The Finnish state-owned enterprise Metsähallitus has since a couple of years used CCF in 25% of their forests, and this paper aims to identify factors that could hinder or prove disadvantageous for Svea
