The transport sector accounts for approximately 20% of EU-27 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and 27% of U.S. GHG emissions. With the Kyoto Protocol, Sweden and several other nations have agreed to reduce these emissions. Often, solutions that involve consolidating freight and moving it to more carbon-efficient transport technologies are advocated as the most advantageous. For such initiatives the

In this paper, computation fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are employed to describe the effect of flow parameters on the formation of soot and NOx in a heavy duty engine under low load and high load. The complexity of diesel combustion, specially when soot, NOx and other emissions are of interest, requires using a detailed chemical mechanism to have a correct estimation of temperature and species

Introducing a new employee into an organization is a critical time for the individual and the organization in question. Successful introductions can create high job satisfaction, increased performance, organizational commitment, and social integration – also called organizational socialization. There are many benefits of a successful socialization process; therefore, understanding what new employe

In the face of climate change, governments in the Global North have decided on various decarbonisation plans. With the transport sector causing more than a quarter of the global greenhouse gas emissions, its decarbonisation has become a central debate. Yet, plans for a sustainable mobility system are largely focused on local and regional scales, neglecting the global entanglements of the supply ch

Women gain less advantage than men in the history of neoliberalism. In this thesis, the author reviews the influence of neoliberal globalization on local women in the comparison of Swedish and Chinese context and discovers their different ways of doing gender. In order to examine the impact of neoliberal capitalism and globalization upon Chinese indigenous women, the author reviews a Mosuo documen

Background: User involvement of people outside academia in research is argued to increase relevance of research for society and to empower the involved lay persons. Frail older people can be a hard to reach group for research and thus an underrepresented group in research. There is a lack of knowledge how collaboration with frail older people should be best performed. Therefore, the aim of this st

This theoretical reflection study is a narrative self-representation that uses autoethnographical methodology to illustrate the learning outcome of the project developed while enrolled at the Entrepreneurship programme in Lund University School of Economics and Management. In the study I will use data collected extensively throughout the programme as weekly submitted learning journals. It will be
