More specifically, the push, pull and capacity factors for a cross-sectional sample of rural Uganda and Ethiopia are explored. Using the newest nationally representative household surveys from 2015/16 for both countries, the determinants are examined for 2
Introduction: The knowledge of the diffusion coefficient of a solute in neat carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 mixed with organic solvents is of importance as it correlates to the efficiency of chromatography and extraction processes. Background: Several studies have been found in literature for diffusion coefficients measurements of different solutes in neat carbon dioxide, but to our knowledge rather
The cell phone industry is one of the most linear sectors, which means high resource consumption in the production of telephones and difficulties in repair. In addition, only 10-12% take-back of used units takes place, the rest are often forgotten in drawers or handled incorrectly. An interesting area of research is how companies can make their choices to reduce the life cycle environmental impact
Från och med 2022 ställer Boverket krav på att klimatpåverkan från nyproducerade byggnader ska redovisas uttryckt i kg koldioxidekvivalenter per kvadratmeter bruttoarea. Den s.k klimatdeklarationen utgår från livscyklisk metodik där produktskedet och byggproduktionsskedet omfattas. I klimatdeklarationen ska även periodiskt underhåll och livslängder för klimatskalet noteras. Många branschaktörer arAs of 2022, the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) is requiring that the climate impact from newly developed buildings has to be calculated and reported in terms of kg carbon dioxide equivalents per m² of gross area. The so-called climate declaration is based on life-cycle methodology and covers the product stage and the construction process stage. Periodic mainten

Denna studie ämnar undersöka studenters upplevelser av kommunikation under en Zoom-föreläsning. Under den globala pandemin under vintern 2020 valde många universitet att förflytta utbildningen till distans för att förhindra spridningen av viruset covid-19. Detta ökade användningen kraftigt av digitala kommunikationsverktyg, där Zoom kom att bli ett av de primära verktygen. Genom att undersöka komm
This research aims to identify the role of the physical store within the high involvement products buying process in the context of an omnichannel customer journey. Furthermore, we aim to recreate an entirely new customer journey based on the importance of creating epic customer experiences, both in-store and online channels, by integrating an omnichannel strategy in the furniture industry.
The societal interest for a more sustainable and circular food production is increasing. Hydroponic farming is an alternative way of growing vegetables that can bring farming into urban environments, reducing long transports of food. In parallel, the focus in waste treatment is being more directed toward resource recovery. Food waste is used as a resource for biogas production, producing a liquid
The increasing production of single-use plastics negatively affects the climate. The resulting plastic ocean debris has fatal consequences to marine life. As a result, the European Parliament has placed a ban on single-use plastics by 2021, making it essential to study sustainable materials for single-use products such as straws. Previous research has investigated how enzymes can be used to cataly
In order to maintain proteins’ functionality their native folding state must be preserved. Chaperones fold other proteins and DNAJ-chaperones may collaborate with Hsc70 chaperones to prevent aggregation of aggregation-prone peptides such as polyQ and Aβ42, which form fibrils in currently incurable diseases as Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s, respectively. Fibril formation of polyQ and Aβ42 is detecte
Immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees with no swedish passport or residence permit can under particular circumstances be transferred to and held in custody.

Läroböckernas roll är central i den svenska skolan och därför intressant att studera i relation till styrdokumentens krav om etik i undervisningen. Syftet med studien är att få en bild av hur läroböcker i gymnasieskolans biologi 2 kan stötta lärare i etikundervisning, vilket gjordes med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av läroböcker för denna kurs. Constant comparative method användes för at
Enligt Hirschman och Holbrook (1982) innebär hedonism njutning, och de hävdar att turister reser av hedonistiska skäl. Hotellverksamheter har blivit allt mer ifrågasatta ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv när hedonism blivit allt viktigare inom hospitalitybranschen. Hållbarhet har blivit en trend i dagens samhälle och allt fler individer är medvetna om vad deras handlingar kan ha för konsekvenser för kl

Increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will have an extensive impact on Sweden's forests. These are an important natural resource, and they contribute with socially important functions such as ecosystem services and timber production. The purpose of the study is to synthesize existing knowledge about how climate change affects Swedish forests, which risks are increasing, and what forest
The current study aimed to investigate what motivational effects Leader Autonomy Support (LAS), frequency of competitions and competitive climate have on employees within retail. A total of 350 stores were approached with an online survey, collecting answers from 64 retail employees (N=64). The hypotheses that LAS would have a significant association with intrinsic motivation was confirmed. Cooper
