Porous carbon obtained from low cost and abundant biomass has gained attention as renewable material feedstock. In this study, porous carbon biochar produced through pyrolysis was investigated by Raman spectroscopy to disclose the structural properties. The measured samples were in form of pellets (identified as WP, 139, 233, 226), and lumber wood (Pine, a softwood type and Beech, a hardwood type)

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur lärande för hållbar utveckling (LHU) kan implementeras på arbetsplatsen. Detta med bakgrund i att vi idag genomgår en klimatkris och att det krävs en total omställning av samhällets alla sektorer för att hålla den globala temperaturökningen under 1.5 grader. Uppsatsen syftar till att synliggöra vikten av att LHU blir ett systematisk inslag på arbetsplatse

This thesis combines Judith Butler’s concept of gender understood as a performance and Guy Debord’s Society of the Spectacle in order to apply it onto the sexually charged imagery in anime known as “fan service.” In doing so, it endeavours to answer what visually constitutes a gendered performance in fan service, and how those visuals can be read as a form of spectacle. It finds that fan service c

Sammanfattning: Människor som kommit som flyktingar till västvärlden har generellt en svag position på arbetsmarknaden och toppar arbetslöshetsstatistiken. Följden blir att flyktingar hamnar i en underprivilegierad position. Den här uppsatsen undersöker synen på flyktingars kunskaper i Sverige genom en kvalitativ studie som baserar sig på intervjuer med ett urval av fältets aktörer. De intervjuad

Klädindustrin är en utav världens största och mest resurskrävande industrier, och den ger upphov till ett stort avtryck på både miljö och samhälle. Pressen på att agera hållbart ökar kraftigt, vilket ställer företagen inför stora utmaningar. Medvetenheten att de bör agera mer hållbart ökar likaså men det tycks finnas stora svårigheter i att överföra medvetenheten till handling. Vidare har det visa

The aim of the degree project is to continue the work of PhD student YuanShuai Qin on creating a fast retuning of the ESS accelerator lattice in the event of an accelerating cavity being offline. The main goal of the project was evaluating and improving the retuning routine created by YuanShuai Qin. The major concern is to maintain beam stability by reducing emittance growth and keeping the beam p

Coherent lensless X-ray imaging techniques provide very high-resolution images not limited by optical components. These techniques record diffraction patterns that can be used for retrieving the phase information of the X-rays passing through a sample. To perform high-resolution imaging with coherent imaging techniques, highly coherent X-rays from high brilliance sources, where high-intensity X-ra
