En katalysator är en substans som kan snabba på en kemisk reaktion utan attsjälv förbrukas. Katalysatorer används vanligen i kemisk produktion och i bilarsförbränningsmotorer (för att ta bort tex CO och NO). För att optimera katalysatornoch utveckla andra och bättre katalysatorer i framtiden så behöver vi vetahur katalysatorn fungerar på atomär nivå. Katalysatorer i industrin är komplexavilket görA catalyst is a substance that can speed up the rate of a chemical reaction without itself being consumed. Catalysts are crucial for chemical production industries, where about 90% of all chemicals are produced using catalysts. They are also used for exhaust gas cleaning, for instance in cars, where CO and unburned fuels are oxidized to CO2 and NOx is reduced to N2. To optimize catalysts, and deve

Abstract Introduction: Understanding customer satisfaction is a central objective of organiza- tions. Besides, satisfaction is an indicator of how customers perceive the quality of an offered product or service. Relating to the literature, the customer satisfaction of interna- tional students has become increasingly important for higher educational institutions in recent years due to globalization

Urbanisation is an ongoing trend all over the world, and these same trends occur in the Faroe Islands as well. Some of the small peripheral islands are now believed to be on the verge of becoming unpopulated. This study investigates the role of landownership in depopulation on the outer islands in the Faroe Islands. The study looks at two islands in particular and investigates trends in land owner

Abstract Breast cancer is a disease which affects a large part of the population and is today affecting approximately 1.7 million women worldwide. During the last decade, it has been confirmed that the metastatic ability of cancer is due to cells that detach from the primary tumor and spread to other sites in the body via directed migration. Another aspect which has gained a lot of attention is

2022 saw a significant increase in global inflation that eroded the purchasing power of many households. Contrastingly, many firms saw an increase in profitability against public dissatisfaction. Stemming from this conflicting development, more research has attempted to test a possible association between profits and inflation. However, much of this research has focused on the U.S. This thesis is

The debate between advocates and critics about the link between trade and labour standards is still relevant. Looking at history, labour rights have been important in the international trade system since the 1890s, when the import of goods by prison labour was prohibited by international treaties and national laws. Nowadays, the need to strengthen sustainability rules is growing because more and m

Syfte: Studiens syfte var att undersöka om det fanns ett samband mellan autistiska drag, autistisk maskering och kön relaterat till upplevda utmattningssymtom hos vuxna. Detta ämne valdes eftersom det finns evidens för att autistiska drag medför konsekvenser för individens välmående samt att dessa konsekvenser ser olika ut beroende på kön. Metod: Data samlades in genom en enkät via SUNET med tre f

The current trends in the construction industry push toward materials that are more sustainable and environmentally friendlier than more traditional building materials such as concrete and steel. Timber and timber composites are one of the most popular materials on this list, due to both their mechanical strength and pleasant aesthetics. Oriented strand board (OSB) is one of these timber composite

Prosocial behavior is important for building a harmonious society, while acting prosocially is also regarded as beneficial for mental wellbeing. To explore the potential underlying mechanism of promoting prosocial behavior, the present study investigates if psychological capital and empathy mediate a proposed relationship between perceived social support and prosocial behavior. The final sample co

The government of Kenya has committed to run on 100% renewable energy by 2030 as part of the new national development goals, and as a result, the country calls for the construction of additional energy plants. However, the construction of these energy plants have in many cases affected local communities who have been forced to relocate to other areas. As an example of this, the recent expansion of

In recent years localising humanitarian aid has been a strategic direction for many humanitarian organisations to give local actors more ownership and make humanitarian interventions more efficient. Nevertheless, in conflict situations localising humanitarian aid can result in a series of dilemmas. This thesis is concentrated around humanitarian organisations’ adherence to the humanitarian princip

This thesis analyzes how the Communist Party of China (CPC) has used the Covid-19 pandemic to enhance its identity as a global actor. This builds upon theories of soft power and demonstrates the advantages of using strategic narratives to analyze soft power in the current global system. I analyzed articles on the subject published in the English online version of the CPC’s offical party journal Qi

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geologisk bakgrund. För ca 200 miljoner år sedan, vid gränsen mellan tidsperioderna Trias och Jura, var Sverige en del av superkontinenten Pangea. Skåne låg vid kusten av ett större hav som täckte stora delar av Danmark. Klimatet var varmt och fuktigt och detta bidrog i hög grad till att de mer höglänta områdena i nordost vittrade och eroderades. Floder och andA palynological study has been conducted on Late Triassic and Early Jurassic outcrop- and borehole sections of the Höganäs and Rya formations, NW Scania. The diverse and generally well preserved palynomorph assemblages can be divided into three miospore zones: (1) the latest Rhaetian-?Hettangian Transitional interval; (2) the Hettangian Pinuspollenites-Trachysporites Zone; and (3) the Sinemurian C

Judicial review, power exerted by supreme judicial bodies to examine constitutionality of the actions of the legislator and the executive and declare them void if they violate the constitution, is a powerful instrument in hands of judiciary. First introduced in the United States by the Supreme Court as a constitutional principle it has spread all over the world and has been widely exercised by suc

Human induced climate change i.e. global warming caused largely by greenhouse gas emission will change the ecological balance of our planet and lead to dramatic societal problems.
