This work is to extend studies of business model (BM) experimentation for sustainable value creation using three cases; here incumbent firms apply resources/networks in pursuit of sustainability-oriented BMs via corporate entrepreneurship. A focus query is: How do organisations apply experimentation to learn, signal and convince key resource holders to engage with shifts (from incumbent BMs) to mo

The analysis presents an evolving ‘Energy Concept’ and strategy at an energy-intensive research facility in order to contribute understanding of how organisations may implement renewable energies and improve energy efficiency whilst also delivering broader socio-economic benefits. A framework is developed that infuses institutional perspectives with a micro level view. It facilitates positioning o

Environmental problems, combined with European Union environmental and energy policies shaped to address them, have created pressures for change. Some of these open significant opportunities to renew industries. This report delivers new understanding of the potential of circular economy for sustainable renewal of manufacturing in bio-based industries. With particular focus on novel value chains, i

Thousands of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutants have been isolated over the last century, and many are stored in gene banks across various countries. In the present work, we developed a pipeline to efficiently identify causal mutations in barley. The pipeline is also efficient for mutations located in centromeric regions. Through bulked segregant analyses using whole genome sequencing of pooled F

The accurate identification of non-metallic inclusions (NMIs) within steel matrices is critical for high-quality steel production. This study employs synchrotron radiation-based X-ray absorption photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM) to investigate NMIs in ultra-high-strength steels. Ca-L2,3-edge X-ray absorption spectra were acquired for six NMIs at both room temperature and 400 °C, allowing

In Sweden 1600 patients/year survive cardiac arrest (30-day survival). Post-resuscitation care is complex and aims to stabilize organ function with focus on preventing secondary brain injury. In 2021 The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) published joint guidelines on post-resuscitation care. In this article the Swedish Resuscitation Counci

Diversification of forest industry activites into transport fuels is important for Swedish climate and energy policy goal achievement, and biofuel proponents also claim that it is important for Swedish forest industry competitiveness. There is significant ongoing research effort on biofuels for road transport and extensive experimentation on several technical platforms has been conducted. These di

Recent years have brought new directionality to university’s work with innovation – increasing the focus on addressing societal challenges and contributing to much broader frames for impact. Working with complex challenges, where no one actor can do everything by themselves, requires collaboration across actor groups (private sector, academia, public sector, civil society), industrial sectors, dis

Context. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) are the brightest satellites of the Milky Way (MW), and for the last thousand million years they have been interacting with one another. As observations only provide a static picture of the entire process, numerical simulations are used to interpret the present-day observational properties of these kinds of systems, and mos

This thesis work has focused on the platinum-tin surface, especially how it behaves when exposed to gases like oxygen and carbon monoxide. Platinum-tin is used as a catalyst for a range of reactions, including the oxidation of carbon monoxide at mild conditions, which is important for gas purification in fuel cells. The platinum-tin alloy has properties useful for the reactions it catalyses, but i

Cushioned lipid bilayers are structures consisting of a lipid bilayer supported on a solid substrate with an intervening layer of soft material. They offer possibilities for studying the behavior and interactions of biological membranes more accurately under physiological conditions. In this work, we continue our studies of cushion formation induced by histatin 5 (24Hst5), focusing on the effect o

This study adopts a configurational approach to discover conditions common to graduates from venture creation programs who take a particular learning pathway to high entrepreneurial passion. Our theoretical framework identifies two primary sources of experiential learning (direct and vicarious experience) and three temporal vantage points (pre-, peri-, and post-education) conducive to such conditi

BACKGROUND: Long-term oxygen supplementation for at least 15 hours per day prolongs survival among patients with severe hypoxemia. On the basis of a nonrandomized comparison, long-term oxygen therapy has been recommended to be used for 24 hours per day, a more burdensome regimen.METHODS: To test the hypothesis that long-term oxygen therapy used for 24 hours per day does not result in a lower risk

Dynamic restructuring of silver catalysts during the industrial conversion of methanol to formaldehyde leads to surface faceting and pinhole formation. Subsequent sintering under reaction conditions, followed by increased pressure drop and decreased catalyst activity requires catalyst bed replacement after several months of operation. This necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the bulk cat

Industrial packaging plays an important role in the performance and environmental efficiency of supplychains. Despite it being so important, the implications that industrial packaging decisions have on thelogistics operations (and vice-versa) are not completely understood. This thesis contributes to theunderstanding of the impacts of sustainable industrial packaging by discussing the importance of
