    Abstract : In order to reach the current climate goals, energy consumption needs to decrease in all sectors, including households, which produce 20% of the European emissions. However, it is difficult to increase residents’ engagement in their household electricity consumption as it is an ‘invisible’ form of energy, the monetary incentives are often too small and environmental incentives are not very effective.

  4. 2. Hydrophobic surfaces: Effect of surface structure on wetting and interaction forces

    Author : Petra M Hansson; Per M. Claesson; Agne Swerin; Adam C Simonsen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrophobic surface; superhydrophobic surface; atomic force microscopy; surface forces; capillary forces; cavitaion; surface roughness; friction; wetting; confocal Raman; contact angles; surface preparation; Langmuir-Blodgett;

    Abstract : The use of hydrophobic surfaces is important for many processes both in nature and industry. Interactions between hydrophobic species play a key role in industrial applications such as water-cleaning procedures and pitch control during papermaking but they also give information on how to design surfaces like hydrophobic mineral pigments.

    Abstract : Organisations have been analytically conceptualised as being somewhat analogous to individuals for a long time. They have culture; they can learn; and they can behave in various odd ways. READ MORE

  6. 4. Seasonal aspects of peripartum depressive symptoms

    Author : Hanna E. Henriksson; Alkistis Skalkidou; Fotios Papadopoulos; Sara M Sylvén; Stavros I Iliadis; Lauren M. Osborne; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : peripartum depressive symptoms; pregnancy; postpartum; seasonality; meteorological parameters; inflammatory markers; proximity extension assay; metabolomics; gas chromatography-mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : Every year, a large proportion of pregnant and newly delivered women develop peripartum depression, a condition that may cause long-term suffering for the entire family. Although there is a lack of consensus, some studies propose an association between season and the risk of developing depression during pregnancy and the postpartum period. READ MORE

    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; children; effects of war; rehbialition programmes;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis aims to build up an analytical model for studying rehabilitation programmes for children in Sri Lanka, with a view to future research. This area is considered very important, because children's perspectives in the post-war reconstruction efforts can be considered as still a largely invisible subject. READ MORE
