The upcoming implementation of the ReFuelEU Aviation Initiative presents both challenges and opportunities for the European aviation sector. Starting January 2025, the EU’s aviation fuel mix must include at least 2% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), leading to higher operating costs for airlines due to SAF’s higher price than fossil kerosene. Additionally, the entire fuel supply chain will need to
Since the feminist movement developed today, women still face the challenges of gender inequality. In some countries, women even cannot see the hope for change. Hence, when aiming to counteract gender inequality, it is important to address the macro level and the micro level. The research focuses on the micro level of resistance to gender inequality instead of large-scale protest movements to exp
This essay studies the non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) employed by governments and other authorities in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden throughout the first phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The NPIs are accounted for and coded using a policy instrument framework by Evert Vedung. Moreover, are the NPI selections of the countries’ politicians and authorities explained through explorative
The aim of this study is to see how big the estimated number of unrecorded cases in Sweden are when it comes to reporting sexual molestation and to see if the court sees the victim as an ideal victim. If so, it is in our interest to investigate if the ideal victim can be associated with the number of unrecorded cases. The cases from the court in Malmö has been coded, placed into charts and analyse
This thesis identifies and evaluates business model alternatives for Oceanbird’s Wing 560 rigid sail, a wind-assisted ship propulsion technology approaching broader commercialisation. The shipping industry’s complex ownership structures create split-incentive problems that complicate investment in fuel-saving technologies, making the choice of business model a strategic decision. Furthermore, the
Globally 884 million people depend on unsafe drinking water, of which 159 million depend on untreated surface water (WHO, 2017). In Tanzania 44% of the popula- tion lack access to safe drinking water (WaterAid, 2017). Women and children in the small city of Chonyonyo, in Karagwe district are walking several hours a day for contaminated drinking water. According to a study, carried out in Tanzani
In this study, we partly characterize major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II B in the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus). A total of 22 individuals from three different European locations: Spain, The Netherlands, and Sweden were screened for MHC allelic diversity. The MHC genes were investigated using both PCR-based methods and unamplified genomic DNA with restriction fragment length polymorp
The taxation of the digital economy has become a relevant subject, as business models and value creation chains of all sectors have been transformed bringing challenges to the international tax system and parameters for the allocation of taxing rights between source and residence jurisdictions. In view of these changes, the European Commission has published two proposals for directives on the taxa
The purpose of this study is to advance the theoretical knowledge on the influence and benefits of business incubator networks in direct connection to residing Early and rapid internationalizing firms. A qualitative research method was used in order to shed light on the workings of Swedish incubator networks and how residing Early and rapid internationalizing startups make use of them to overcome
This paper reports on a case study, which investigated energy management and environmental management at a large-scale research facility. The author used the perspective of the managed personnel rather than the management, the entity or the management system. The focus of the research was on interpretation of work, particularly how employees' perceptions of priorities were affected by management i
Övergången från fossila till förnybara energikällor betraktas vara av stor vikt för samhället. År 2014 kom 16% av all förbrukad energi från förnybara energikällor. Detta är fortfarande under målet på 20% som EU satt för 2020 i direktivet om förnybar energi. För att nå dit krävs att medlemsstater använder styrmedel för att öka produktionen av förnybar elektricitet. Två vanliga sådana styrmedel är The transition from fossil to sustainable energy sources is a task of uttermost importance. As of 2014 just 16% of all energy consumed within the EU came from renewable sources which is still below the 20% goal set for 2020 in the Renewable Energy Directive. To achieve the targets set out in the directive it is imperative for member states to create incentives for production of renewable electri
Sustainability, population dynamics and health issues are some of the greater challenges the global society faces today. Meat consumption has emerged as one of the reasons behind the cause and effect of these challenges. There is a growing consensus amongst researchers, industry stakeholders and decision-makers that there is a need to transition into more sustainable alternatives to meat. As a res
This study explores the receivers’ experience and interaction with nation branding and how this affects their image formation since most of the research within the field analyzes nation branding from the sender’s point of view. A qualitative case study has been executed with an interpretative approach from a sensemaking perspective on the nation branding campaign “The Swedish Number”. The Swedish
This thesis consists of two parts. In the rst part, the iterative data-adaptive BIAA spectral estimation technique was extended to estimate lateral blood velocities using ultrasound scanners. The BIAA method makes no assumption on samples depth or sampling pattern, and therefore allows for transmission in duplex mode imaging. The technique was examined on a realistic Field II simulation data set,
DPM is a manufacturing company within the metal cutting industry. A number of years ago there emerged a desire to make statistical calculations for its production. Until today, the company has not done any post-calculations, which means that they have based their cost calculations and sales prices on precalculated costs. The absence of post-calculations leads to lack of cost-consciousness that is
Fifty-one adolescent-onset anorexia nervosa (AN) cases recruited after community screening were compared with 51 age-, sex-, and school-matched cases with regard to personality disorders and autism-spectrum disorders (ASD)/empathy disorders at age 21 years. All 102 cases had originally been examined at a mean age of 16 years, slightly over a year after the reported onset of the eating disorder. St
Basic English Grammar A web linked course Basic English Grammar is not a grammar book per se, with paragraphs and rules, but a course designed specifically for speakers of Swedish who wish to improve their proficiency and confidence in English. Since most Swedish speakers have a great deal of intuitive knowledge about the structure of the English language, the authors have integrated exercises i
Spectrum clustering is a powerful strategy to minimize redundant mass spectra by grouping them based on similarity, with the aim of forming groups of mass spectra from the same repeatedly measured analytes. Each such group of near-identical spectra can be represented by its so-called consensus spectrum for downstream processing. Although several algorithms for spectrum clustering have been adequat
Thromboembolism is a serious complication of surgery and prophylaxis is therefore recommended. This study examines a new aspect of the problem, the incidence of thromboembolism after day-case surgery. From 1982 to 1992, 2281 patients underwent day-case repair for inguinal hernia management. Hospital admission for thromboembolism within the first 30 days after surgery was identified by computer lin
