Betsockerprocessen är en energiintensiv process där ångdriven indunstning används för att avlägsna stora mängder vatten från den upprenade tunnsaften, som innehåller det från betorna extraherade sockret. I takt med industrins önskade fokus på energieffektivisering har membranteknologier för förkoncentrering av tunnsaften fått ett ökat intresse. Trots lovande resultat i ett begränsat antal försök åThe beet sugar process is an energy intensive process relying on steam evaporation to remove large amounts of water from the purified thin juice containing the sugar extracted from the beets. As the industry seeks greater energy efficiency, membrane technology for pre-concentration of thin juice has attracted interest. Limited trials have shown promise but fouling, sugar losses or high osmotic pre

Approximately 80% of agricultural land in the world is comprised of annual crops which have a life span of only one year. Research has shown that these crops are unsustainable because of these short life spans. Soil erosion, nutrient leaching, and losses of soil carbon are just a few problems caused by annual monocultures. Additionally, with the changing climate, these cropping methods are both vu

The study shows that while auditors rely on their financial audit expertise, the CSRD introduces new complexities requiring interdisciplinary knowledge and enhanced social support structures. Despite the high level of detail and comprehensiveness in the CSRD provisions, applying the directive in practice demands auditors to engage in subjective interpretive work at both the client and regulatory l

This thesis examines how investor nationality influences market reactions in Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEOs). Using a sample of 146 SEOs from 106 unique firms between 2005 and 2024, we analyze whether foreign investor versus domestic investor participation systematically affects market reactions. Foreign-backed SEOs are initially found to generate less negative abnormal returns than domestic offe

Biologisk mångfald är ett begrepp som alla känner till och dess betydelse. Det påverkar oss alla på alla möjliga sätt och vi kan enkelt påverka det genom att förändra de minsta sakerna i naturen. Flera arter är extremt känsliga för förändringar och med en mindre förändring i sin miljö försvinner de. Rödlistade arter är arter som är sårbara, orkidé är en art som alla typer är rödlistade i Sverige. The aim of this literature study was to understand the different perspectives of actors within forestry and conservation in terms of the species goodyera repens, and its debate.This study focuses on the red-listed orchid G. repens. A comparation of different actors was done, and it can be seen that the opinions of the actors’ are very different from each other. In summary, the actors who were more

E-scooter sharing systems (ESS) have rapidly gained popularity since their introduction in the U.S. in 2017, promoting sustainable urban mobility and offering a new solution to transport systems challenges. However, research on ESS usage in relation to the built environment, particularly in European contexts, is limited, and comparative studies between urban areas of different sizes are not readil

Problem Statement: Company Pie is planning for a new centralised distribution centre, as part of a reorganisation of their distribution network. This entails consolidating volumes from several existing facilities, and another company named Company Rho, when setting up a distribution centre configuration. Company Pie wants a second set of eyes to create a configuration, including operations, and de

Fraud is a crime that causes severe economic damage, and crime rates are rising because of technological advancements. There is a research gap regarding how fraud crime prevention is organised and which actors are important for it. This thesis aimed to explore how the rising occurrence of cyber fraud is addressed on a societal level, using the civil, banking, governmental, and business sectors. It

In southwestern Scania there is a paleovalley, the Alnarp Valley, which holds a confined aquifer called Alnarpsströmmen. Its geology consists mainly of sand and gravel and it is generally confined by one or more layers of clayey till above, and the limestone bedrock below. In collaboration with Region Skåne and SGU, this thesis aims to gather information about Alnarpsströmmen using two geophysical

This thesis investigates the implementation and challenges of Smart Cities, focusing on how different elements affect the decisions and strategies for integrating smart technologies. The study is based on qualitative interviews with professionals involved in Smart City projects. It highlights the diverse definitions and interpretations of the Smart City concept, emphasizing the importance of trans

The efficient allocation of flexible resources, such as grid batteries and wind parks, across multiple energy market auctions, is pivotal for maximizing socio-economic welfare, interpreted here as profits. This study explores various optimization methods, including Linear Programming, Integer Linear Programming, Robust Optimization with Linear Programming, and Robust Optimization with Integer Line

Hummeln-strukturen har varit föremål för geologiska undersökningar under nästan två hundra år. Den udda förekomsten av paleozoiska block och en cirkulär djupanomali i den i övrigt förkastningsdominerade sjön har gett upphov till många teorier. Det var faktiskt inte förrän 2015 som fynd av chockad kvarts kunde bekräfta att den märkliga formen skapades av ett meteoritnedslag. Den här studien är den The Hummeln structure has been subject to geological investigations for nearly two centuries. The odd occurrence of Paleozoic blocks and a circular depth-anomaly in the otherwise fault dominated lake sparked plenty of theories. It was however not until 2015 that findings of shocked quartz could confirm that the structure originat- ed from a hypervelocity impact event. The present study is the firs

Transnational migrant communities increasingly depend on digital platforms to sustain social connections, cultural practices, and community life across borders. For Chinese Christian migrants, digital media practices are shaped by both diasporic needs and the influence of China's digital surveillance and censorship, which extends beyond national borders. While existing research has explored Ch

This thesis explores how welfare crime is discursively constructed as a problem in policy documents from Järfälla, Malmö, and Uppsala, using Carol Bacchi’s What’ s the Problem represented to Be? (WPR) approach. Within a context of turbulence (Ansel et al 2024) the study examines how welfare crime is presented, what remains unproblematized, and the political and discursive effects of these represen

Miniaturisation of weapons and other tools is a phenomenon seen throughout the Viking Age in Scandinavia. Predominantly using the theory of semiotics, previous publications on miniature weapons have reached similar conclusions as to the functions of these objects. Three main interpretational threads can be seen repeated throughout the previous research; miniature weapons as symbolic objects, minia

Several studies have reported a declining reading rate in school-aged children. Thus, this thesis therefore aimed to evaluate how students in their last semester of high school (gymnasiet) would have their attentive behaviour affected when reading challenging texts, and with the allowance or the prohibition of the use of electronic devices in the classroom. The purpose of the study was to foster a

The main focus of this case study was to assess ecological succession and restoration success after the removal of Rosa rugosa. Plant species composition and moss presence, bare ground cover, and biodiversity indices were analysed to identify patterns and differences within and between the restored and an invaded adjacent area. The complete absence of R. rugosa in restored plots confirms the effec
