Lokalisering av framtidens stålproduktion

Stålindustrin är den industrisektor som har högst utsläpp i världen. Ståltillverkning tillskrivs cirka 8 % av världens totala C02-utsläpp. Från den utgångspunkten är behovet av djup avkarbonisering av stålindustrin är uppenbart. Det mest gynnsamma alternativet för att fasa ut fossila bränslen från produktionen av stål är att övergå till ståltillverkning från grönt väte. I denna rapport undersöks kThe steel industry is the most emitting industry sector in the world. Steelmaking attributes to around 8 % of the world’s total CO2 emissions. From that standpoint the need for deep decarbonization in the steel industry is evident. The most viable option for removing fossil fuels from the production of steel is to move to steelmaking from green hydrogen. In this report comparative advantages for g

How Venture Capital Could Use Large Language Models to Screen Sustainability Impact Startups

The thesis suggests that the ideal investme

Decomposing Import Price Inflation in the EU

This thesis examines what drives import price inflation in the EU by decomposing it into supply and demand driven inflation. The decomposition is done by using product level import data retrieved from Eurostat. The paper examines the period from 2019-01 to 2023-01 which captures events such as the Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine. To classify the product as demand or supply driven, two methods are

Grön-By - Sökandet efter den sociala gemenskapen

Ofrivillig ensamhet är ett växande samhällsproblem och påverkar människors hälsa negativt, såväl fysiskt som psykiskt. Som människor är vi skapta för att vara i gemenskap med andra. Att känna sig inkluderad och delaktig därmed grundläggande för vårt välbefinnande och vår hälsa. Många upplever den sociala avsaknaden i sitt hem eller i sitt bostadsområde. När det handlar om att känna sig ensam i sInvoluntary loneliness is a growing societal issue that negatively affect people’s health, both physically and mentally. As human beings, we crave community and belonging. Feeling included and involved is therefore fundamental to our health and well-being. Many individuals face social isolation within the confines of their homes or close neighborhoods. When experiencing loneliness in your home,

Design of Experiment Based on Full Factorial CFD Spray Modelling

Design of experiment is a powerful tool that can reduce the amount of physical testing needed to save resources, time and money. A CFD-setup was constructed in OpenFOAM-8, simulating injection of liquid propane with a standard multi-hole injector. The model was then validated against experimental results. Two design of experiment models were then created using Rstudio. The two models had four spec

Dejtingmarknadens marginaler: männen utanför – En studie av incels livsberättelser på Flashback Forum

Denna studie berör incel-män på forumet Flashback och deras livsberättelser utifrån teman om ensamhet, utanförskap, maskulinitet och samhälleliga faktorers roll i problematiken. Tidigare forskning tyder på att ensamhet och utanförskap samt upplevd hopplöshet inför möjligheter till sexuella och/eller romantiska relationer förekommer frekvent inom gruppen incels. Syftet med studien är att utöka kuns

An Experimental Investigation of Dry Thermopressed Cellulose

Plastic waste, especially from packaging, keeps increasing. As a consequence, harmful effects on animals and whole ecosystems as well as increasing greenhouse gas emissions can be seen. More sustainable materials are therefore needed, and dry thermopressed cellulose shows promising potential in replacing plastics in several packaging applications. Being a novel type of moulded pulp process, the re

Traveling on a Whim? A qualitative case study on how business models for Mobility-as-a-Service can be designed and configured

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of how MaaS business models can be designed and configured. Theoretical Perspective: The theoretical perspective is provided by a preliminary framework which consists of a synthesis between Business model theory and MaaS literature. Methodology: A qualitative single case study was employed with an abductive research approach. E

En analys av den engelska nationalismens påverkan på Boris Johnsons argument för Brexit

This essay analyzes multiple speeches by Boris Johnson during his campaign for Brexit and a period after the polls were closed. It examines if Boris Johnson's speeches are characterized and influenced by English nationalism.

Abstract: This essay investigates different causes of homelessness around Europe, as well as how these could be prevented. Reasons to homelessness is a complex and diverse issue that stems from many different causes, both structural and individual. Which this essay will explore by interviewing people that works with homeless individuals to hear their thought on the matter, and then connect that t

Optimising microfluidic preparation of lipid sponge phase nanoparticles for biomolecule encapsulation

Läkemedelstransportering med lipidnanopartiklar (LNP), särskilt svampfas lipidnanopartiklar, har varit intressanta på grund av dess möjlighet att inkapsla läkemedel och överföra läkemedlet genom cellmembranet. Svampfas LNP formuleringen kan påverkas av lipidens molekylära struktur, temperaturen, pH-värdet, utspädningen, bufferten och existerandet av en stabilisator. Projektets syfte var att ersättDrug delivery with lipid nanoparticles, especially sponge phase lipid nanoparticles (LNP), has been well studied because of its ability for drug encapsulation and transferring the drug through the cell membrane. The sponge phase LNP formulation could be affected by the molecular structure of the lipid, the temperature, pH, dilution, the buffer, and the addition of a stabiliser. This project aimed

Living room or library? The roles of physical spaces in public libraries. A case study of Idé A, Drottninghög library in Helsingborg, Sweden

The present study explores the value and role of the physical space of the public library from the perspective of the visitors in the context of digitalization. The qualitative research was based on semi-structured interviews with regular visitors of Idé A Drottninghög (Helsingborg, Sweden), Idé A library staff members, and collaborative organizations of Idé A that make use of the library’s physic

The One China Problem? - The Diplomatic Recognition of the Republic of China

Why have some countries decided to recognize Taiwan despite majority of the countries maintain official ties with China? The thesis aims to investigate the reasons behind (non) recognition of Taiwan. In order to answer to the research question, the research applies a comparative case study looking at the United States and Guatemala and their actions towards Taiwan and what could explain them. Thr

Sustainability assessment on different crops for aquaponics : an evaluation table for growing crops using wastewater from juvenile Atlantic salmon in RAS

Aquaculture is an expanding industry, supplying closer to 50% of the total fish consumption. Commercialized fish production faces sustainability challenges which are important to address. Aquaponics uses wastewater from aquaculture to grow plants using hydroponics. This is a step towards making the industry more sustainable, but the practice is not straightforward. The plants and the fish thrive a

Mina läppdrillar, utifrån & in. En självstudie baserad på Kopprasch etyd nr. 5 för valthorn

”Läppdrill” är en för många hornister svårbemästrad avancerad teknisk färdighet. Det finns många olika beskrivna metoder för optimal inlärning. Detta arbete är en självstudie med Kopprasch etyd nr 5 som övningsmetod och utvärderad med regelbunden flexibel endoskopisk filmning av svalg och larynx under övning. Läppdrillen kunde visualiseras som en rörelse i tungan medan anspänning och rörelse i andThe ”lip trill” is for many horn players a complicated, advanced technical skill. There are many documented methods for optimal learning. This essay is a self-study using Kopprasch etude no 5 as practice routine and evaluated using repeated flexible endoscopic video documentation of the pharynx and larynx while practicing. The lip trill could be visualised as rhythmical movement of the tongue whil

Can ancient pathogens emerging from glaciers and permafrost reach Europe by aerosolization?

Glaciers and permafrost capture bacteria and viruses when they form, which can be suspended for millennia. This includes long since extinct pathogens which are functionally novel. As polar regions get warmer these pathogens will emerge and spread through the local ecosystem, potentially altering it. Ancient pathogens do not only pose a risk to their local environments as they can be aerosolized an
