Popular Abstract in English Modern society is still largely based on fossil resources. However, there are growing concerns about the security and cost of these resources, as well as climate change resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels. Biofuels represent renewable fuels with the potential to mitigate the adverse effects of fossil fuels, providing a more sustainable alternative. The transpBioethanol from sugarcane is a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, and the increasing demand for fuel ethanol has prompted studies on the use of the lignocellulosic residues of sugarcane, namely bagasse and leaves, as new feedstock. This thesis describes various process designs and the economic feasibility of producing second generation (2G) ethanol from bagasse and leaves via the enzymatic r

For some time now, the world in general and international law in particular have witnessed one and the same widespread call for action. Both public and private interests claim that present-day standards and technology have proven insufficient for saving the natural environment. From this claim has emerged a call that entreats us to approach the problem of the deteriorating natural environment by i

Commercial fish catch in Eastern Africa is dominated by Nile Perch. Of the fish that is processed for human consumption, 30-40% is wasted. Currently, these wastes are not fully utilized; they are sold off at low price, converted to low valued products or left to decompose leading to environmental pollution and wastage of bioresource. This biomass has however a potential to generate considerable re

We live in a time of wireless technologies, robotics and small computers with very high computing power. This is mainly due to a large emphasis given towards the study of semiconductor materials which are the building blocks of today's electronic industry. One of the secrets behind creating faster computers is the ability to integrate more and more transistors on a small semiconductor chip. GordonThis thesis studies the role of interaction between charged particles for transport and optical properties in nanostructures. Simulations are provided for a quantitative description of the system dynamics probed by either current spectroscopy or light absorption. In the first part of the thesis (Part I) the basic theories are described and in the second part of the thesis (Part II) the papers list

This thesis consists of two parts, applying concepts from automatic control to different application areas.The first part of this thesis concerns the development of an optimization-based algorithm, determining the size of insulin and glucose doses for patients suffering from Diabetes Mellitus and treated with multiple insulin injections. Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by elev

As the global population continues to grow and the demand for clean drinking water in-creases, the importance of a functioning water distribution network becomes evident. In the design and planning phase of a distribution network, a hydraulic model is a helpful tool for predicting consequences of an action and defining vulnerable parts of a network. This study attempts to set up a reliable and cal

In light of the syllabus concerning film and video game music in the music subject at Swedish compulsory school level, an interview study was conducted. The purpose of the study was to investigate how five active music teachers in compulsory school use music from films and video games in the classroom to teach about music as a meaning-making expressive form. Five semi-structured interviews were co

To become a member of the European Union, the applicant country must meet the accession criteria established in the Copenhagen Declaration, commonly referred to as the Copenhagen criteria. While these criteria serve as formal guidelines, previous research has shown that they alone cannot explain when and how a country will join the union. Instead, it is argued that the justification and discursive

This article intends to raise questions related to nationalism in South Asia, while also addressing the rationale for this special issue. Is nationalism a monolithic construct based on a European precedent or is it something much larger that is developed pluralistically in a variety of contexts around the world? If the latter is true, which is our position, then how do we go about studying the var

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Swedish Covid Association (SCA) was established to represent individuals with Long COVID (LC). The unique Swedish response to the pandemic, characterized by minimal restrictions, serves as the backdrop for the SCA’s efforts to highlight the specific needs of LC patients, who were largely excluded from pandemic policies and protective measures. Utilizing the Narrat

The contribution of this licentiate thesis lies in the modelling of a multi-echelon inventory system with more general backorder cost structures. Backorder costs are traditionally assumed to be linear, whereas we consider structures that are more general functions of the customers’ time in backorder. The system studied is a two-echelon system with one central warehouse and a number of local sites,The contribution of this licentiate thesis lies in the modelling of a multi-echelon inventory system with more general backorder cost structures.

The rate constants for the chloride and bromide anations of Pd(H2O)42+, the chloride anations of PdCl3H2O−, the bromide anation of PdBr3H2O− and the acid hydrolysis of PdCl(H2O)3+, PdBr(H2O)3+, PdCl42−, and PdBr42− have been determined at 15, 25 and 35 °C using a stopped-flow technique. The ionic strength was 1.00 M and the supporting electrolyte perchloric acid.

Grandparents’ involvement in their adult children’s families has increased in recent decades, especially in relation to care arrangements around grandchildren. This ‘new army of proxy parents’ calls for the need to critically analyse grandparental care. Drawing on a study on intergenerational care in Sweden, involving grandparents, adult children and grandchildren (63 interviewees including 28 gra
