The gasification of biomass is a promising route to increase the share of renewable sources in the energy mix. Besides having an overall higher thermal efficiency than combustion, it also offers the possibility of producing gaseous and liquid biofuels that can be used in the transport sector. The use of biomass gasification for energy purposes can help lower the net emissions of greenhouse gases,
This paper analyses sexuality and relationship education (SRE) in a Swedish college programme aimed at young people with mobility impairments. Interviews and focus groups were conducted to explore students’ experiences of the structure, content and usefulness of SRE, and college personnel’s SRE practices. Results show that, although many of the issues covered are pertinent for all young people, beThis paper analyses sexuality and relationship education (SRE) in a Swedish college programme aimed at young people with mobility impairments.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning:En studie publicerad av NASA:s Goddard Institute for Space Studies år 2019 visade att de genomsnittliga globala temperaturerna under de senaste fyra åren (2015-2018) var de högsta som någonsin registrerats i människans historia. Den nyheten passar väl in i de alarmerande prognoserna om global uppvärmning, och kräver snabba och radikala handlingar. Att studera “teInnovative design and materials are needed to satisfy the demand for efficient and scalable devices for electronic and opto-electronic applications, such as transistors, LEDs, and solar cells. Nanostructured III-V semiconductors are an appealing solution, combining the excellent functional properties of III-V materials with the flexibility typical of nanostructures, such as the nanowires (NWs) stu
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand how national culture plays a role in consumer perceptions through a comparative case study of three different ethical skincare brands from three different countries. Methodology: This study makes use of a qualitative research method, data collection is done through semi-structured mediated interviews of 20 participants from 14 different c
This Master Thesis describes the product development process of creating a product with the aim of preventing and removing spiders obstructing the image of surveillance cameras. The project was conducted on behalf of Axis Communications AB, which is a market leading company in network cam- eras. The thesis consist of two main parts. The first part contains a background study of the problem, an inv
Folding is an essential step in the manufacturing of paperboard packaging materials.In order to get nice folds with no cracks the paperboard lamina is creased in predetermined patterns. The act of creasing introduces delamination, which locally weakens the material. The creasing operation thus changes the local material characteristics of the paperboard, characteristics which parameters are hard t

Over the last two decades there has been a significant increase in privatised areas in the Swedish public sector. The aim of this thesis is to investigate how this has been motivated and formulated in the Swedish parliament. This is done by analysing the motions for privatisation that have been presented in the Swedish parliament between the years of 1990 and 2000. The hypothesis is that there ar
The Sandvik Group is a world leading company and their unique competence in materials technology has resulted in three core areas; Cutting Tools, Mining and Construction and Materials Technology (SMT). This thesis has been initiated by their third business area, SMT, who is looking into the possibility to enter a new industry by offering superior material solutions. The industry is the musical ins
The received wisdom has long been that people in Europe reacted with great enthusiasm as war was approaching in August, 1914. However, scholars who have investigated the matter have found little evidence of enthusiasm. There was no unique “spirit of 1914,” and people in general were not happy about the prospect of war. This revisionist thesis is now the new orthodoxy and should as such be subject The received wisdom has long been that people in Europe reacted with great enthusiasm as war was approaching in August, 1914.

Tunnel evacuation is a challenge that requires a well-prepared strategy and relevant technical andorganizational measures to be successful. The article focuses on the relation between knowledge abouthuman behaviour during an evacuation process and how this knowledge is obtained throughinvestigations after fires and through well-planned experiments. Furthermore, theories are introducedthat explain
Research evaluation practices linked to social impact have important systemic effects on the prioritization and organization of research while at the same time leading to the delivery of higher social value. Amidst growing criticisms, global research evaluation has evolved in a different direction, characterized by quantitative metrics and mimetic behavior. The article deals with the forces that s
X-rays allow to non-destructively investigate biological, chemical or physical processes at the nano-scale. Their high penetration depth in matter allows to investigate samples even inside sample environments, which would be difficult with complementary methods such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The microscopy technique ptychography has been established in X-ray imaging in recent year
The relationship between macroeconomic variables and the stock market index has been studied by a large number of academics and practitioners over the last two decades. However,even though the stock market in China has been in rapid development, the similar studies concerning China remain relatively insufficient. This study examines the relationship between the China’s stock market and a set of ma
This pioneering volume explores complex local, global and digital contexts from the perspectives of Digital Theology.The use of and access to digital technology is highly contextual. It differs between regions, generations, classes, religious denominations, and gender. Which problems theologians claim to be important and which developments they ignore is contingent on their cultural, social, econo
