Kristallin nanocellulosa i vattensuspensioner självordnar till vackra, iriserande, kiralt ordnade filmer om vattnet i suspensionen låts evaporera bort över några dagar. Denna processen kallas evaporation induced self-assembly. Filmernas egenskaper kan påverkas genom tillsättning av additiv till startsuspensionen och denna effekt har undersökts, men sällan med mer än ett additiv åt gången. För att A grand challenge the coming century is to shift humanity’s material dependence from petroleum based to renewable. Using cellulose, the most abundant material on earth, and nanotechnology to create smart, safe and renewable alternatives could be a part of the solution to our global problems. New data based tools aimed to make this task easier, ensuring the transition to renewable materials happen

Genom försäkringsavtalet åtar sig försäkringsgivaren, i utbyte mot betalning att ersätta eventuella skador som uppstår för försäkringstagaren. Parterna åtar sig dessutom att lämna sanningsenlig och korrekt information. Försäkringsgivaren kan i händelse av skada, orsakad av tredje man, inträda i försäkringstagarens rätt till skadestånd, förutsatt att skadan omfattas av försäkringen samt att försäkrThrough the insurance contract, the insurer undertakes to compensate potential damages that occur to the insurant, against compensation.

Contributor to climate change, cities are the major responsible for a great amount of natural resource consumption and global waste production as a consequence of the ”take, make, dispose" aspects of our linear economic model. In face of this issue, Circular Economy (CE) is a new concept that seeks to decouple economic growth from the consumption of finite resources by shifting the linear eco

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly transformed the world of academia, forcing many academics to begin working remotely, disrupting their work-life balance. Late-career academics are under-represented in the literature when it comes to their understanding of work-life balance and remote work. For this reason, we decided to combine the concepts of work-life balance and remote work, and explore the pe

Alberta’s Tar Sands are one of the most environmentally and socially destructive fossil fuel projects on Earth. Socio-political resistance or acceptance will determine the Tar Sands’ future: whether production continues or whether it is phased out to ensure meaningful climate action in Canada. I examined how news media communicates a “Just Transition” from the Tar Sands and proposed that their wri

Purpose: Our purpose with this study is to examine the employee perception of the organizational culture and intra-organizational coopetition within a multi-brand organization.

Every year 125 000 tons of food is thrown away by Swedish grocery stores. A lot of this food is still eatable and this has caused people to go out at night to take the food for themselves straight from the dumpster. This is called dumpster diving. The purpose of this study has been to examine the discrepancy between the legal norms which proclaim it as illegal and the norms within the dumpster div

It shows that Adichie counters the discourse that entitles the Western subject, Richard, to tell African stories by transferring his interpretive privilege to the African object, Ugwu. Jo

Skyldigheten att skydda, eller “R2P”, är en princip som har skapat vild debatt sedan den först introducerades av the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) år 2001. Efter den positiva respons begreppet fick av FN:s medlemsstater under the World Summit Outcome 2005 verkade det som att FN rörde sig mot en ny tidsperiod, där arbetet för mänskliga rättigheter även skull

Ämnet för denna uppsats är regleringen i 6 kap. 13 § BrB, som föreskriver att även den som inte insåg men hade skälig anledning att anta att ett barn är underårigt ska dömas till ansvar. Ansvar för sexualbrott förutsätter som huvudregel att en gärningsperson har uppsåt i förhållande till att ett barn är underårigt men 6 kap. 13 § BrB utgör således ett undantag härtill. Bestämmelsen syftar dels tilThe subject of this essay is the regulation in Chapter 6, 13th article of the BrB, which stipulates that even those who did not realise, but had reasonable reason to assume that a child is minor age, shall be sentenced to liability. The responsibility for sexual offences generally requires that the offender is intentional in relation to the fact that a child is underage, but Chapter 6, 13th articl

This paper examines the effects of the planned high speed railway between Malmö and Stockholm (known as Sverigeförhandlingen) on the tourism industry in the municipality of Höör through landscape changes. There will be no railway station in the municipality on that particular railway line meaning that trains will pass by. The paper examines stepwise how the tourism industry in the municipality is

År 2045 har Sverige som mål att ha netto-noll utsläpp av växthusgaser. Från och med år 2019 betyder det att utsläppen måste minska med 6–10 % per år. År 2018 stod bygg- och fastighetssektorn i Sverige för 21 % av landets utsläpp av växthusgaser, vilket motsvarade 11,8 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter. Om de utsläpp på 5,8 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter som genererades på grund av import av sIn 2018 the Swedish construction and real estate industry accounted for 21 % of the country’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om och hur repetitivt negativt tänkande (RNT) påverkar nivån av upplevt obehag under återkallning av neutralt och negativt laddade bilder, samt hur blickbeteenden modulerar sådana effekter. Ett annat syfte var att studera huruvida RNT och bildinnehåll påverkar deltagarnas blickbeteende.

This paper examines the sufficiency of a trading method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of past stock prices. The SVD method is frequently used as a tool to reduce data noise, compress big-data, and analyse data components. Hence, the method is well suited to form a ground for a predictive tool of price developments. From the predicted pattern, a strategy was formed by construction of
