Structural Transformation and Productivity Growth in Egypt - Disentangling Heterogeneous Services and Identifying Drivers of Growth: A Structural Change Approach

Premature deindustrialization and a shift to services at early stages of economic development raise concerns about growth prospects of low-income and emerging economies. Within the manufacturing- vs. service-led growth debate, this thesis analyzes the contribution of hetero-geneous services vis-à-vis manu¬facturing to productivity growth, focusing on the role of modern services which are charac¬te

En omställning mot strömmen – Hur transportföretags affärsmodeller påverkas vid en elektrifiering av den tunga svenska lastbilsflottan

Utsläppen från transportsektorn står för en betydande del av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Fram till år 2030 vill regeringen att växthusgaserna från transportsektorn ska ha minskat med 70 procent utifrån år 2010s nivåer. Därtill vill man år 2045 att Sverige har nettonollutsläpp. För att inom transportsektorn lyckas med dessa mål kommer ett nyttjande av en kombination av lösningar vara essentie

Autonomous docking of marine vessels presents challenges different from the ones faced when travelling at open sea or in an archipelago. External disturbances due to the varying environment and accurate positioning at low speed are examples of these kinds of challenges. The aim of this work has been to develop and implement an autopilot algorithm for docking. This was to be done for a specific mar

3D stadsmodeller för mindre kommuner - vad är behoven och vilka standarder krävs?

Allt fler svenska kommuner utformar eller införskaffar 3D stadsmodeller för att möta behov exempelvis inom planeringsarbete eller bygglovsbedömning. Det finns flera typer av 3D stadsmodell varav några beskrivs i denna rapport, exempelvis en semantisk 3D objektsmodell, meshmodell, CIM modell eller en digital tvilling. Trots att flera kommuner sedan länge nyttjat 3D stadsmodeller finns ännu inga natA 3D city model is commonly used by Swedish municipalities in for example city planning or building permit assessment. There are however various kinds of 3D city models of which some are described in this report, for example a semantic 3D object model, mesh model, CIM model or a digital twin model.

Att hålla en utlänning som är tagen i förvar avskild - tvångsmedel inom Migrationsverkets förvarsverksamhet

Trots att lagstiftningen kring att avskilja en utlänning från andra som hålls i förvar har funnits en längre tid har detta varit ett område som är föga behandlat inom olika rättskällor. Detta framstod för mig som något konfunderande och syftet med denna uppsats var därför att undersöka hur rättsläget kring beslut enligt 11 kap. 7§ utlänningslagen ser ut. Uppsatsen hade även som syfte att undersökaEven though the legislation around separating a foreigner from others who are held in custody has existed for a long time, this has been an area that is little treated in various legal sources. This appeared to me to be somewhat confusing, and the purpose of this essay was therefore to examine how the legal situation regarding decisions according to 11 kap. 7§ utlänningslagen. looks like. The essa

Genome-wide meta-analysis and omics integration identifies novel genes associated with diabetic kidney disease

Aims/hypothesis: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of kidney failure and has a substantial genetic component. Our aim was to identify novel genetic factors and genes contributing to DKD by performing meta-analysis of previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on DKD and by integrating the results with renal transcriptomics datasets.

Mobile application to encourage change in favor of the environment: A quantitative study of the persuasive effect of a gamified app on cognitive and psycho-social variables

Human-induced climate change continues to have a disproportionate negative impact on people and the planet. The human dimension must be included to make a change to reduce the environmental challenges we are facing. As mobile digital technologies have developed, the use of gamification has emerged as a way to promote pro-environmental behavior. As the field is relatively new, the research on the t

Glioblastoma CD105+ cells define a SOX2- cancer stem cell-like subpopulation in the pre-invasive niche

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and most aggressive primary brain tumor in adults. Glioma stem like cells (GSC) represent the highest cellular hierarchy in GBM and have a determining role in tumor growth, recurrence and patient prognosis. However, a better definition of GSC subpopulations, especially at the surgical resection margin, is warranted for improved oncological treatment options. T
