Sustainable mobility and transportation systems are important to, among other things, reduce greenhouse gas emissions. However, the conditions for sustainable mobility differ between different geographies, in particular between urban and rural areas. Therefore, this qualitative case study examines the planning for sustainable mobility in the countryside of Västra Götaland to develop an understandi

I takt med digitaliseringens utveckling har konsumenters köpbeteende förändrats inom E-handel. Det digitala handelsrummet erbjuder konsumenten en bekvämare köpupplevelse med utökade alternativ såsom utbud och priser. E-handelsföretagen konkurrerar hårt mot varandra och generösa returpolicyer används som ett konkurrensmedel. Dessa policyer leder till ett icke miljövänlig och icke hållbart konsumti

Industrial pollution abatement is key to accomplishing sustainability goals. Mandatory disclosure of pollution data, e.g. through the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR), promises reducing pollution through public pressure from stakeholders, such as NGOs, the media, and investors. This study surveys stakeholder use of the E-PRTR in Germany, using an analysis of press coverage

In topology optimization, iterative, gradient-based methods are used to find the material distribution of structures which maximizes some objective function, typically the structures' stiffness, or in some cases the fundamental frequency. Finite element analysis is used to compute the structural response in each iteration, leading to large systems of equations. Several hundred iterations may b

Studies indicate that crime is a common occurrence in Swedish schools and that schools create their own living law regarding managing crime. This study aims to analyze the approach of the teachers that makes crucial decisions when dealing with crime in school. The goal is to find out how different norm perspectives, that were found to be relevant when conducting the literature review, has affected

The Covid-19 pandemic has had an abysmal impact on professional lives. The relentless strains of Covid have kept the world at large on tenterhooks. This has led to a new way of life and remote work environment. Work from home culture, while has seeped into the DNA of employees and organizations, has also brought about abundant experiences, expectations and criticisms. This thesis aims to delve int

Läkemedelsindustrin är en av de viktigaste aspekterna i det moderna samhället. Denna industri har tillåtit forskare att förbättra människans levnad och ger patienter världen över hopp att deras sjukdomar kan bli behandlade. Läkemedelsindustrin har inte sett så många förändringar när det kommer till produktioner av små molekyler och API under de senaste årtiondena. Men världen förändras. Nya sjukdoIntroduction: Continuous Manufacturing involves the continuous feeding of input materials into the transformation of in-process materials within, and the concomitant removal of output materials from a manufacturing process based on ICH guideline. In these systems, all the processes from raw material to final finished product would be continuously produced. The project aims to: Investigate the chal

Tetra Recart® är ett innovativt, kartong-baserat förpackningsalternativ till konserverad mat. Tetra Pak® har sett en ökad efterfrågan på en mindre förpackningsvolym av Tetra Recart®, vilket har gjort att Tetra Recart® utvidgat förpackningsportfolion med en ny, mindre förpackning på 100 mL. Förpackningars dimensioner kan påverka hållbarhetstiden för det förpackade livsmedlet, där mindre förpackningTetra Recart® is an innovative, carton-based packaging alternative for canned foods. Tetra Pak® has seen an increasing demand of a smaller Tetra Recart® package size. Therefore, the Tetra Recart® package family has been extended with a new, smaller package volume of 100 mL. Package dimensions may impact the shelf life of the packed food, where a smaller package (with headspace) is suspected to hav

In pharmaceutical science, particle size is one of the most fundamental parameters of materials, but different particle-sizing analysis methods lack a uniform standard for measuring irregular particle size, making it difficult to compare the accuracy and applicability of different particle-sizing analysis methods. Experiments on excipients used in pharmaceuticals are carried out in this paper by l

Climate change impacts German viticulture through variations in temperature and precipitation patterns. Winegrowing being one of the main socio-economic sectors in Rheingau, implementing adaptation measures is vital to maintain this agricultural practice even in the future. The main focus of this study lies in exploring underlying factors that influence the implementation of climate adaptation mea

Denna rapport är en brandteknisk riskvärdering av neonatalintensivvårdsavdelningen på Skånes universitetssjukhus i Lund. Syftet med rapporten är att göra en brandteknisk riskvärdering för att undersöka om personsäkerheten på neo-IVA kan säkerställas vid brand på avdelningen. Patienterna på denna avdelning är för tidigt födda barn som inte överlever utan den livsuppehållande utrustning som finns i This report is a fire safety evaluation of the neonatal intensive care unit at the Skåne University Hospital in Lund. The purpose of the report is to make a fire safety evaluation to investigate whether the personal safety can be ensured in the event of a fire in the ward. The patients in this ward do not survive without their life-sustaining equipment and cannot evacuate their rooms on their own

Denna studie har ämnat att undersöka relationen mellan mind wandering och personlighet. Tidigare forskning på området har gett en splittrad bild kring uppmätta korrelationer mellan specifika personlighetsdrag och mind wandering. Mind wandering mättes med skalan Mind Wandering Questionnaire och personlighet mättes med Big Five Inventory i en enkät. Fem hypoteser formulerades; mind wandering kommer The present study aimed to investigate the relation between mind wandering and personality. Prior research on the subject has shown varied results on correlations between specific personality traits and mind wandering. Mind wandering frequency was measured using Mind Wandering Questionnaire and personality was measured using Big Five Inventory in the form of a survey. Five hypotheses were formulat

Ireland is reducing its reliance on turf (peat fuel), as draining peatlands for fuel-harvest impacts biodiversity and global warming. Turf-cutting is a historically important practice in Ireland, with many relying on it for fuel and employment. This study examines the role of cultural values in discourse around peatland use in Ireland, to support a Just Transition away from a reliance on peat. Thi

Today, as anyone could generate content independently, content produced by the Destination Marketing Organisation (DMO) and others co-exist on social media. As such, anyone runs the chance of being a tourism promoter and marketer. Whether this is intentional or not, content generated by the DMOs are not the only thing out there inspiring or influencing tourists' choice of destination, or creat

Against the background of a conservative push against LGBTI+ and women’s rights, in which courts have already become battlefields, it is important to look at how the European Court of Human Rights, a leading human rights adjudicator both in Europe and globally, would respond to arguments made in the name of human rights but whose real purpose is to limit the rights and freedoms of women and LGBTI+

Computer aided pathology is becoming more and more of a requirement within pathology due to increased demand of individualised treatments and personalised medicine. Because of the advance of digital pathology in recent years, where a high resolution camera acquire images of microscope slides, pathologists can now assess tissue samples in digital images. This has enabled automatic assessment of pat

In this project, I address the difficulties Swedish physicians face in the performance of headache care at primary health care cen- ters. Workflows in the current system have financial, political, communicational, and time-related shortcomings which decrease the possibility to provide equal headache care across the com- plete country. By performing interviews, literature studies, and a human-c
