This thesis provides the first empirical analysis of the electric vehicle ownership gap between vehicle owners living in apartments and those living in houses. Using 2018 survey data collected by RISE Viktoria on Swedish vehicle owners, this study uses regression techniques to quantify the extent to which occupants of apartments adopt electric vehicles at a lower rate compared to occupants of hous

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy trading in microgrids is an innovative solution to local energy problems where consumers produce and sell their energy to their neighbours. The idea of a microgrid-based local energy trading enables decentralised energy system and strengthens consumers' participation. In the context of developing countries, microgrids play an important role in securing the mere access

Off-grid solar products play an essential role in increasing and improving rural energy access, thereby reducing poverty and mitigating climate change. Experiencing fast market growth in Central and Southern Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, off-grid solar products will represent 50% of the newly established electricity connections in the world between 2017 and 2030. Despite such benefits and market su

Face-to-face fundraising is a method used for raising money by having fundraisers working on public spaces. Fundraisers either ask for one time donations, or sign up people to give on a monthly basis, in this thesis the focus is on the latter. For this method to be useful all fundraisers must meet their target goal, meaning that they must get a certain amount of sign ups when they work. By using d

The purpose of this study is to examine the experiences of discrimination among disabled journalists. The background of our study is the growing interest within the media industry for newsroom diversity which aims at achieving better representation. Our definition of diversity includes people with disability in conformity with the Swedish discrimination law, which is accepted as standard within th

G protein kopplade receptorer (GPCRs) är en grupp proteiner som sitter tvärsigenom cellernas membran med delar på både utsidan och insidan. Som namnet förtäljer så kopplar dessa receptorer till en annan sorts proteiner, G proteiner, och dessa hittas på insidan av cellen. Tillsammans översätter dom extracellulära signaler till intracellulära vilket till slut resulterar i specifika fysiologiska effeG protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) is the largest superfamily of membrane proteins and convert a multitude of extracellular signals and turn them into intracellular responses by binding and activating just a few G proteins. The mechanism for activation is very conserved and is likely to be similar for all GPCRs and G proteins, but how a vast amount of GPCRs selectively couple to specific G protei

This paper investigates the possibility to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) that, by capturing temporal features in weather data, can estimate the expected amount of wheat produced during any year, at any geographical location. The aim is to establish whether a CNN can be used for emulation of simulated global crop production - as responses to changes in CO2, temperature, water, and nitr

Every year in Sweden approximately 50 people die due to work related injuries. The development of non deadly injuries at work, however, has been varying. Between 1980 and 2008 it's been decreasing while, during the last 10 years, the number of injuries has instead increased. It is of interest to see why the number of occupational injuries has been increasing as well as understanding if there e

What is a home in the wild? What do we need for our hike? What can we learn from those who have travelled these lands for hundreds of years before us? This project is an exploration of how to create contemporary hiking shelters, through the process of experimentation and learning form nomadic highland architecture. This project seeks to capture the fluidity of the Swedish highlands and it wants t

This master thesis was performed at the company BAE Systems Hägglunds AB, Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. Hägglunds has its main market within the defense industry and is the developers and manufacturers of the combat vehicle CV90 and the terrain vehicle BvS10. Since a few years back, Hägglunds has investigated the potential to apply its technologies from these vehicles to a product for the civil market. Th

Abstract Det senmoderna samhället karakteriseras av en riktning mot ett alltmer individualiserat samhälle. Detta påverkar såväl organisationer som individer. Extra utsatta i denna samhällsutveckling är organisationerna som verkar inom tredje sektorn då de bygger på ett kollektivistiskt förhållningssätt och en solidarisk ideologi. Vi har valt att se närmare på denna utveckling inom organisationen
