Despite that transports contribute to around a quarter of all global energy-related CO2 emissions, the question of how the sector’s emissions are best reduced remains unclear. To fill this gap, this thesis investigates what both academia and the Swedish Climate Policy Council recommend to be the best ways of reducing transport emissions. These findings are then compared with the mobility strategie

The aim of this study was to examine how single parents of children with autism describe their everyday life, their experience of stress, and how it affects them. The aim was also to gain more knowledge of how single parents experience and describe the support they have received and to highlight any potential areas in which this support might be improved. The chosen method was qualitative semi-str

Uppsatsen beskriver synen på sexköpare utifrån ett statligt perspektiv. Också utreder uppsatsen synen på sexköpare hos unga svenskar utifrån två gruppintervjuer. Uppsatsmaterialet består dels av statliga dokument, utredningar och utvärderingar och dels av två könsindelade gruppintervjuer. Att gruppintervjuerna är könsindelade beror på att syftet var att identifiera möjliga likheter och/eller skill

När ett barn misstänks vara utsatt för brott startas utredning hos både socialtjänsten och polisen. Barnahus är en organisation som under gemensamt tak samverkar kring barn som utsatts för allvarliga brott. I riktlinjerna till Barnahus framgår att barn har rätt till deltagande och information.

Only 50 percent of Swedish food supply comes from domestic production, which creates a high dependency on an international trade to import foods. This leads to a high vulnerability within the food system. In order to secure food supply in times of crisis Sweden must increase its food production. According to climate research, future climate will be characterized by a higher rate of extreme weather

A great challenge during early development of medicinal antibodies is to determine the stability of the candidates. This is required to be able to select the candidates with the greatest developability. The stability of the candidates can be estimated using different orthogonal techniques and the aim of this investigation was thus to use orthogonal techniques for the investigation of conformationa

Rockfalls occur around Sweden every year and the country lacks a national risk evaluation and an adequate regulatory framework for construction related to this natural hazard. The aim of this study is to address this problem by mapping areas under possible threat of rockfalls, considering two fundamental aspects: i) identification of the source areas and ii) estimation of the runout zones. The stu

The aim of this project was to create a model of the stand-alone LAES for use in future work at Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery (SIT). The model was created in IPSEpro with components developed from the software's standard library of power plant components. Required fluid properties were obtained from the Refprop DLL. This was accessed through the development of a DLL, functioning as a link
