The snitch is a well known figure, often associated with deceit and betrayal. It appears in everyday life, embedded in joking jargons as well as in serious discussions of loyalty. Perhaps most significantly, the snitch symbolizes the culture of silence within criminal gangs, breaking the unwritten rule of not speaking to authorities. This thesis investigates how the figure of the snitch, and the a
Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att utarbeta ett konkret förslag för logistisk implementering av industriella biometananläggningar i sydvästra Sverige. Genom att utnyttja restflöden från jord- och skogsbruk – såsom halm, GROT (grenar och toppar) samt såg- och kutterspån – undersöks möjligheten att ersätta fossil naturgas i det sydvästsvenska gasnätet med 100% förnybar biometan (uppgraderaThis thesis aims to develop a concrete proposal for the logistical implementation of industrial biomethane plants in southwestern Sweden. By utilizing residual biomass from agriculture and forestry, such as straw, forest residues (GROT), and sawdust, the study explores the feasibility of replacing fossil natural gas in the regional gas grid with 100% renewable biomethane (upgraded biogas).

Grön energi, som vind-, sol- och vattenkraft, spelar en avgörande roll i omställningen från fossila bränslen. Men hur hållbara är dessa energikällor sett till hela livscykeln? Inom vindkraftsindustrin är detta en särskilt viktig fråga. Vindkraftsblad tas vanligtvis ur bruk efter 20–25 års drift, och har historiskt sett främst gått till förbränning eller deponi. Inget av alternativen är hållbara efThe growing accumulation of end-of-life wind turbine blades (WTBs) presents a challenge due to their increased usage around the world and complex composite structure. Mechanical and thermal recycling techniques often fail to completely recover both the matrix and the embedded fibers without significant degradation or environmental burden. In this thesis, solvolysis is investigated as a promising r

Den första lyckade organtransplantationen var av en njure år 1954, och sedan dess har njurtransplantationer förbättrat livet för de idag över 100 000 patienter globalt som varje år får en ny njure. Mycket av framgångarna är tack vare mediciner som hämmar det adaptiva immunförsvaret, och förhindrar att kroppen attackerar det främmande organet. Den fortsatta utvecklingen av dessa mediciner har lett Kidney transplants are the most common type of organ transplant globally. While immunosuppressants targeting the adaptive immune systems have been successful in improving short-term outcomes, the role of the innate immune system is relatively less studied, and has come under attention as a potential driver of the inflammation causing poor long-term outcomes. In this thesis, sparse statistical meth
