This conceptual thesis analyses Carlota Pérez vision of a ‘Green Global Golden Age’ that is supposed to reconcile the tension between economic growth and sustainability (Pérez, 2016b). Aiming to address the pressing issue of continued unsustainability, Pérez’ proposed solution is based on the assumption that technological innovation in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)

The project’s main goal was to develop an understanding of how to gain a higher deep cure of UV-curable waterborne polyurethane dispersions for pigmented systems. Specifically, the project studied and concluded that radicals from oxidation of 1.3-4 wt-% of unsaturated fatty acids in the dry film can initiate radical polymerisation of acrylate groups. Polyester polyols containing 0, 5, 10 and 15 wt

Today, Swedish women have one of the highest participation rates. In the nineteenth century, however, virtually no married women were recorded as working. Their participation rates started rising around the turn-of-the-century. Using full-count microdata from Swedish national censuses for the period 1880-1910, this paper aims to estimate the effects of various determinants on female labour supply.

The presence of Nano particles in food is a topic that have gain much attention lately. The aim of this study is to investigate the aggregation behavior of nano silica under in vitro gastrointestinal conditions using asymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) coupled with several detectors. Major part of this work is to find a suitable condition for the experiments. With measurements of Z-pote

A modern automotive vehicle is a complex technical system, containing many electronic, mechanical, and software parts. Typically, a high-end vehicle contains 70 or more electronic control units (ECUs) on average. These are controlling a large number of distributed functions, of which many are safety-critical, and adding complexity, which is surpassing 100 million lines of code. Furthermore, the co

Credit scoring, the process of evaluating loan applicants with the help of numerical methods, is widely used in the financial sector. When used correctly, it can aid the decision process and lower default rates on loans. New EU regulation has allowed third-party actors to access personal banking information, following the applicant's consent. The increase in available information that financia

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka framträdandet av den externa dimensionen av principen om folkets rätt till självbestämmande i internationell rätt, dvs rätten för ett folk att utträda ur en existerande stat och kräva självständighet. Genom att använda den diskursanalytiska metod som utvecklades av Michel Foucault i hans arbete Vetandets Arkeologi, utgör den ett försök att skissera de möjliThe purpose of this study is to examine the emergence of the external dimension of the principle of the people's right to self-determination in international law, that is the right of a people to secede from an existing state and claim independence. Using the archeological method of discourse analysis as developed by Michel Foucault in his work The Archeology of Knowledge, it is an attempt at

Cloud computing is an infrastructure that allows companies to rent any type of computing resources, such as network capacity and processing power, according to their current needs. Rather than a new technology, cloud computing is a new way of delivering computing resources. Despite the advantages that this infrastructure brings, it still poses many threats in several areas. In Sweden alone one thi

A particle accelerator consists of a large number of components, which among other things includes several acceleration modules, which consists of one or several cavities. A cavity is a complex and essential part in the accelerations process and is usually made of oxygen-free copper (OFC) or niobium. These two materials are special when it comes to metal cutting, it´s hard to find information abou

In order to exploit the renewable energy (RE) and climate mitigation potential, transaction costs (TCs) of implementing RE technologies need to be better understood and eventually scaled down. The objective of this thesis is to identify and analyze the nature of TCs borne by obliged parties under the recent “Feed-in Tariff” (FIT) scheme in the United Kingdom. In addition, the findings are compared

The concept of OptimalTempered Asphalt, OTA, stands for the best temperature all aspects considered for the bitumen and the manufacturing process as well as the end-product. This is achieved in various ways using additives, choice of manufacturing procedure and changing mixture of asphalt. This bachelor thesis is a study of the effects the additive Sasobit has on bitumen and asphalt from an OTA pe

Phonological intervention is often aimed at resolving problems with the specific speech sounds and phonological processes that cause difficulties for the child. But part from working with these specific targets, the speech and language pathologist (SLP) can also use conscious communicative strategies, e.g. encouraging the child’s own communicative initiatives, to strengthen the child as a communic

A great part of the soil remediation projects in Sweden today are being carried out on heterogeneous contaminated areas where for example industrial activities have been going on for a long time. In many cases waste from the industrial processes have been dumped or spread out on the property, and there is no pattern in the occurrence of contaminants. The distribution of the concentration of the co

In recent years, microfinance has evolved as an alternative method of providing credit to poor borrowers in developing countries. Despite high expectations and appraisals, the performance of microfinance institutions has been found to differ significantly between different countries. Previous research has focused mainly on formal institutions and macroeconomic conditions as potential explanations

The company, qpunkt GmbH, recently developed a concept for an “innovative” thermal manikin – the Klimadummy. Before a decision can be made whether to realize the production of their manikin, there is a need for a market research, describing the current situation of the thermal manikin market, including the competitors and customers. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyze the

Close to the city center of Reykjavik lies the combined national- and university library of Iceland. Usually, these two types of institutions are separated. The purpose of this essay is to investigate how the library in fact selects the new digital material to offer the users in Iceland, and if the combined mission creates any problems or conflicts. The investigation examines the planning and the

ABSTRACT This thesis contains a partial edition of a previously unpublished manuscript, De lapidibus et gemmis (MH 59, Lund University Library). The manuscript was probably written in the late XVth century and consists of five parts. Part 1 (ff 1r-1v) and 2 (ff 2r-14r) are written in Latin, part 3 (ff 14v), which is probably later than the rest of manuscript (XVI century?), in German, part 4 (ff
