Advanced Monitoring of H2S Injection through the Coupling of Reactive Transport Models and Geophysical Responses

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), an environmentally harmful pollutant, is a byproduct of geothermal energy production. To reduce the H2S emissions, H2S-charged water is injected into the basaltic subsurface, where it mineralizes to iron sulfides. Here, we couple geophysical induced polarization (IP) measurements in H2S injection wells and geochemical reactive transport models (RTM) to monitor the H2S stora

Impact of extruded mortar joints on the hygrothermal performance of brick veneer walls : A probabilistic study

Mortar extrusion during bricklaying, resulting from suboptimal workmanship, may act as a bridge linking clay brick masonry claddings and adjacent layers (e.g., insulation or weather-resistant barriers), thereby, facilitating water penetration into the adjacent layer owing to wind-driven rain (WDR). Despite the significant effect of water penetration on the hygrothermal performance of building enve

A Literature Review of Probabilistic Hygrothermal Assessment for Building Envelopes

This study presents a state-of-the-art review of the evolution of probabilistic hygrothermal assessments of building envelopes. First, relevant literature was identified by employing a systematic methodology, including scoping and systematic searches, quality assessment, and study analysis. The analysis, based on 143 selected publications, provides statistical insights into uncertainty propagation

Öppna din dörr? En kvalitativ intervjustudie av museipersonals attityder, erfarenheter och tankar kring publikt tillgängliga magasin

This thesis has the title Open your door? The purpose of this study is to learn about museum professionals’ opinions and thoughts surrounding publicly accessible storage solutions. The research questions for this study are: • How do the museum professionals reflect over their attitudes and thoughts to publicly accessible storage in the interviews? • What are the underlying factors for regional

BIPV-facades and Fire Safety: Risks and Possible Solutions

The construction industry has always been changing and adapting to new innovations, values, requirements, and goals from the outside world. These days are no different. The climate change is still mostly relevant and everything we could do to mitigate this should be applied in the construction sector. It is nowadays a known fact that buildings represent a significant portion of the carbon dioxide

TOWARDS ZERO EMISSION BUILDINGS: A Holistic Guide for Homeowners through EPBD Compliance and the Renovation Passport Framework

This master thesis presents a suggested Renovation Passport for two typical 1960s single-family houses. Following the recently approved Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EU 2024/1275A), all member states are to implement voluntary Renovation Passports by 2026, which will aid in reaching the 2050 goal of a decarbonized building stock. The aim of Renovation Passports is to provide long-ter

AI i samhällets tjänst – Balansgång mellan innovation och risk inom samhällsviktiga verksamheter

This study examines various risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence (AI), which have become increasingly relevant as the technology rapidly develops and integrates into society. The risks have been categorized into six main areas: technological, data- and analytical, informational and communicational, economic, social, ethical and legal and regulatory. These areas include challeng

A Computational Pipeline to Study Donor Substrate Binding to the Wild-Type and Mutants of a Xanthan Gum Glycosyltransferase

I en allt varmare värld där resurserna börjar ta slut är behovet av mer miljövänliga material och bränslen större än någonsin. Kan kolhydrater, ett av naturens mest förekommande organiska material, vara en del av lösningen för ett mer hållbart samhälle? Kolhydrater består av en eller flera sammansatta sockermolekyler. Det finns en mängd olika varianter av kolhydrater som används inom allt från mPolysaccharides are a versatile group of biopolymers widely utilized in a range of industries, from food and medicine to construction. Engineering of the enzymes involved in the synthesis of polysaccharides could provide a way to chemically modify the composition, and therefore be used as a tool to obtain polysaccharides with new desired properties. In this thesis, the substrate binding to the don

Wild boar damage mapping in agricultural grass and wheatlands using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) data

The growth of the wild boar (Sus Scrofa) population in Sweden results in increasing wild boar damage on agricultural grounds, thereby influencing the livelihoods of farmers. Finding mitigation strategies that are positive for both wildlife and human society is challenging. It is therefore essential to enable the creation and investigation of precise and differentiated wild boar management strategi

Crossing the river while feeling for stones : Challenges of river basin governance in Vietnam

Water scarcity is increasing across different geographical regions of Vietnam. Central drivers of scarcity include population growth and climate change which increase demand and sectoral competition. The legal system is keeping pace to address this trend, but gaps remain in terms of implementation and enforcement. This purpose of this study was to improve the understanding of those gaps via polyce

Enhancing the Business Environment Efficiency Through Data Sharing in Product Lifecycle Management

In the constantly changing environment in which companies operate, it is important to be able to optimize various activities throughout the product lifecycle. This places great demands on companies and their value chain, where information exchanges are central to activities. There are risks and rewards, such as the risk of losing intellectual property and unlocking new business cases, that co

Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization with Service Differentiation at Volvo Group

Title: Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization with Service Differentiation at Volvo Group. Authors: Oscar Frölund & Holger Hjortstam. Supervisors: Johan Marklund, Lund University. Philip Mårtensson & Christian Beckers, Volvo Group. Background: Within inventory control the distribution of spare parts poses multiple challenges. Being a critical area from a business perspective this is a fie

Overcoming the Investment Gap: A Multiple Case Study of Strategy Development in Swedish Water & Wastewater Organisations

Sweden grapples with a critical issue: its extensive water infrastructure is nearing the end of its lifespan. While investment shortfalls increase this challenge, concerns linger about the potential mismanagement of existing assets. This research investigates how Swedish water utilities are strategically managing their ageing infrastructure. By exploring their utilisation strategies, the study aim

Quantifying the Impacts of Climate Change on the Hygrothermal Performance of Prefabricated Walls in Sweden

Human activities accelerate climate variations which cause effects all over the world. The IPCC's Sixth Assessment report, which was released in 2021, shows that human activities have already warmed up the planet significantly. The report reveal that the climate has already increased by approximately 1.1 °C since the period 1850-1900 and the average temperature is predicted to exceed 1.5 °C wi

Faltering Language : On German-Yiddish Literature

This dissertation shows how the intersection between German and Yiddish became an important but largely forgotten site of literary production in the long twentieth century. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, German and Yiddish came to be associated with divergent trajectories of Jewish modernity and were often understood to represent either side of a series of charged dichotomies, such as W

Technocultural worldings

In this piece, which frames the special issue “Technocultural worldings,” we build on previous editions of commentary and criticism in this journal. We propose a theoretically anchored way to systematically approach the dynamic, multidimensional, and heterogeneous technocultural communities that have created their own worldings and are engaged in complex dialectical dynamics within the contemporar
