  1. 11. RF Compressor (SLED) Phase-Modulation to Reduce Peak Fields in the MAX IV Linear Accelerator

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Joel Ekström; [2023]
    Keywords : Accelerator; MAX IV; LINAC; Phase-modulation; SLED; Pulse compression; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Modern particle accelerators need strong electric fields in order to produce high energy particles. Such high voltages are typically reached by injecting pulsed radio frequency power through several steps of amplification. At the end, pulse compression is used to further improve the energy gain at the cost of pulse-length. READ MORE

  3. 12. Global Supply Chains at a Crossroads - A multiple case study investigating the process of Volvo Cars’ & H&M Group’s reconfiguration of their global supply chains

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Axel Garå; Jacob Elander; [2022-07-05]
    Keywords : Global Supply Chains; Volvo Cars; H M Group; Risk Management; Reconfiguration; Zone of Balanced Resilience; Capabilities; Global Value Chains; Disruptions; Covid-19; International Business; Resilience;

    Abstract : Globalization and falling barriers to international trade have incentivized firms to relocate activities to foreign markets in pursuit of greater returns. MNCs today often have global supply chains with high degrees of interdependence where a disruption at one end of the supply chain often affects the whole network. READ MORE

  4. 13. A Greener Way to Go: Climate Adaptation Imperatives for Western Deathcare

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Amandine Clairo; [2022]
    Keywords : Death; Funerals; Deathcare; Burial; Cremation; COVID-19; Climate Change; Climate Change Adaptation; Natural Burial; Alkaline Hydrolysis; Natural Organic Reduction; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Death is a universal human experience, yet the ecological impact of the care and disposition of dead bodies is rarely considered, due in part to cultural taboos surrounding the physical reality of death and decomposition. If negative environmental consequences are to be limited, deathcare will need to adapt. READ MORE

  5. 14. Regional Cross-border Disaster Collaboration: A Joint Standard Operating Procedure between Jordan Israel and Palestine

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Nadia Rinaldi; [2022]
    Keywords : Regional Cooperation; Disaster Preparedness; Standard Operating Procedure; Disaster Risk Management; Middle East; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : This case study research aims to identify the enabling factors and challenges for developing a joint Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Disaster Response Preparedness between Jordan, Israel and Palestine. Twelve qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts either involved in the SOP project, the region and/or with extensive experience in developing cross-border SOPs. READ MORE

  6. 15. Modification of lignin derivatives for polymerization in water

    University essay from KTH/Ytbehandlingsteknik

    Author : Adrian Södergren; [2022]
    Keywords : biobased monomer; ferulic acid; radical polymerization; styrenic mononer; lignocellulose; biobaserad monomer; ferulsyra; radikalpolymerisation; styrenliknande monomer; lignocellulosa;

    Abstract : För att möjliggöra en hållbar utveckling skiftar många polymerforskares fokus just nu från att syntetisera polymerer från fossila resurser till att producera biobaserade polymerer från exempelvis träd. Av särskilt intresse är lignin, som utgör ungefär en tredjedel av allt växtmaterial men i nuläget oftast används som bränsle. READ MORE
