Electromechanical oscillations is a power system phenomenon where generator rotors oscillate, leading to oscillatory power flows. Damping of such oscillations is important for system stability. Forced oscillations is a special case where one faulty component is the source of the oscillation. This report concerns the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF), which is an energy-based method for analysing dampi
The purpose of this thesis was to explore how a newly founded Youth Platform in Colombia, called La Mesa de Juventud, could affect the youth community in promoting and capacitating organizational skills, youth citizenship rights and youth influence in public policy making. The study emanates from the region of northern Cauca situated in the South Western part of Colombia which is an area where you
The purpose of this thesis was to determine how a heavy duty vehicle manufacturer can create an economical viable business model for used batteries from electric buses and trucks. Heavy duty vehicles are responsible for 30% of on-road CO2 emissions in the European Union, but could be decreased if this sector would be electrified. One major barrier for this transition is the large cost for the batt
This thesis explores the extent to which international human rights law and international labour law place obligations on States to protect migrant workers’ fundamental rights, especially their rights to social security.

Simulating the natural environment of living tissue with in vitro cell culture models has paved the way for scientific discoveries, and provided valuable insight into areas such as drug discovery and regenerative medicine. A new emerging technique of culturing cells on biomimetic three-dimensional scaffolds stands as a promising alternative to the traditional way of culturing cells on two-dimensio
For every stock investor, the question of how many stocks to buy is fundamental. The recommendations from the literature is wide and ranges from 10 to over 300. As a contrast, 41.79% of Swedish shareholders held only one stock in year 2020. This thesis studies the Swedish stock market between 2011 and 2020 which to the authors knowledge not has been done before within the research space of Diversi
The primary purpose of this paper is to further build on research related to capability development in order to explore hindrances and benefits of internal capability development and external partnerships as ways to improve performance. The beverage industry is used as the focus context since the companies in this industry are increasingly responding to external trends and looking for ways to deve
The purpose of this study is to look into how middle managers of Swedish LSS housing are balancing their responsibility to provide their clients with good living conditions and their responsibility to fulfill their employees’ right to a good working environment. We conducted one focus group with three middle managers from one municipality participating and then five semi-structured interviews with
With the 11th century text Kitāb ādāb al-nikāḥ, the “Book on the Proper Conduct of Marriage”, the Islamic thinker al-Ghazālī (1056 –1111/447–504) replies to a contemporaneous debate within Sufi asceticism with a theology of nikāḥ. The text is part of his opus magnum, the “Renaissance of the Knowledge of dīn”, which aims at a renewal of Muslim piety and provides practical guidance to the male audie
Purpose The purpose of this study is to establish a list of facilitating factors for the implementation of organisational innovations in healthcare units. We accomplish this by a thorough literary review, which is followed by an empirical case study of Capio Group. The case study is conducted to validate the theoretical findings, based on subjective perceptions of healthcare practitioners. This w
Cambodia´s complicated political landscape has created a development context that the international community long struggled to navigate. In this paper I – through a theoretical framework that conceptualises a political context as a historically located totality and defines the quest for political legitimacy as a constraint that can be used to make inferences about the behaviour and actions prefer
The aim of this paper is to explore which skills and mindsets are necessary for successful leadership in the digital era. It is written for IKEA who are interested in remaining at the forefront of their industry by understanding how digitalisation affects their business and how to make the most of the opportunities it brings, one aspect of which is leadership. There is a gap in the existing knowle
Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation demand humanity to depart from the growth imperative forming the economic structure of the world. In other words: Structural transformation is needed. Much of the sustainability debate in academy, politics, media and the public revolves around two paradigms: minor changes within the current system (e.g. green consumption, green growth) or
My main contribution to the Human Ecology field is exploring the relationship between memories and images of the future when pursuing transition imaginaries. By ‘feeling with the head and reasoning with the heart’, I used a sensory ethnographic method to listen to people's life stories during my fieldwork in Bolivia with territorial defenders. Throughout the data collection and analysis, there
Agonistic peace is an emerging approach in peace studies that advocates for non-violent and political continuation of conflict through transformation of inter-groups relationships so that former antagonists recognize each other as legitimate actors. As of yet, the practical implications of agonistic peace for ending violence and promoting durable peace have been relatively understudied, especially
Carbon-14 (14C) is one of the most important contributors to the collective effective dose of the public due to radioactive releases from nuclear power plants. However, the discharge of 14C from nuclear power plants (NPPs) into water has not been measured previously. The aim of this project was to the develop a method for retrospectively analysing the annual discharge of dissolved inorganic 14C. A
This paper studies Swedish working class economic and cultural attitudes from 2002 to 2021 in order to discern whether increased radical right support has led to attitude change, and whether or not these changes complicate working class representation. The results suggest that whilst the working class has become slightly more left-leaning in its economical attitudes, cultural attitudes have become
Introduction: The forest industry might not be the first thing to come to mind when thinking of chemistry, but the analysis of cooking chemicals in wood pulping involves many laboratory methods. Background: The chemical recovery cycle is an integral part of the Kraft process, which makes laboratory analyses of different steps of the process necessary. In the recovery boiler, sulfur is reduced to
