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

Leaf Area Index (LAI) is quantity representing the amount of foliage in the canopy, which makes it an important parameter for analysing terrestrial ecosystems. Traditional methods of measuring LAI were done by analysing hemispherical photographs by hand and were very time consuming, requiring specific weather conditions (Jonckheere et al. 2004). Modern methods, including remote sensing, have much

Forskningsfrågor: Är det statistiskt signifikant att det finns en förändringar i aktieavkastning på optionens förfallodag i den underliggande aktien? har de öppna options kontrakten en påverkan på aktieavkastningen på optionens förfallodag? Syfte: Syftet med examensarbetet är att undersöka om det finns en signifikant skillnad i aktieavkastningen vid optionens förfallodag i relation till de öppna Research questions: Is there significant change in the stock return on option expiration dates in the underlying stock? Does the net open interest have an effect on the return of the underlying stock on option expiration day? Purpose: The purpose of the bachelor's thesis is to study whether there is a significant difference in the stock returns on option expiration dates in relation to the ne

Many cities are facing the problem of old industrial areas whose soil has been contaminated with toxic substances created by different historical activities within the area. The great unsolved environmental problems, such as: water, soil and air pollution prob- lems, and habitat loss in the Öresund region today, are a result of the industrialization era. “Reclaiming Eco-Assemblages” lays out a m

Artificial Intelligence is an expansive topic that is receiving considerable amounts of attention and funding for research, as it has the potential to have a wide-ranging effect on work, business, and society. Following from this, actors of all types, universities, companies, and others are conducting research into AI, and investigating how they can make the best use of the technology and develop

I tider av klimat- och miljökris måste vi förändra vårt sätt att leva för att bli mer motståndskraftiga och hållbara. Hållbara initiativ är viktiga för denna omställning och bör uppmuntras och stöttas av våra politiker och samhällsledare. Permakultur är ett av de lovande hållbarhetsinitiativ, som trots sin potential står inför flera hinder från kommunen för att kunna utvecklas. Den här studien undIn current times of climate crisis, we need to transform our way of living to be more resilient and sustainable. Sustainable initiatives are important for this transformation and should be encouraged and supported by our politicians and leaders. Permaculture is one of the promising sustainability initiatives, which despite its potentials, are facing multiple barriers from the municipality to devel

Investing based on environmental, social, and governmental (ESG) criteria has grown rapidly in recent years. The trend has been driven by both an increased interest in sustainability, and the fact that ESG related corporate events have been shown to influence stock prices. In tandem with this development, a number of companies has pioneered methods to quantify a firm’s ESG performance. One of thes

Eutrophication caused by nutrients such as phosphorus has become a major issue over the years. Dealing with this phenomenon is a major concern in many countries, and municipalities are establishing strict rules to cope with this problem in water bodies. However, the development of cities has a cost, and supplying the food needs of people is essential. In order to optimize agricultural lands, the u

The entrepreneurship ecosystem in Skåne, Sweden is dynamic with many activities and support for new ventures, and it boasts a wide range of actors. However, there is a lack of empirical research on how the process leads to the success of entrepreneurs in terms of how productive ventures are, how beneficial it is to entrepreneurs and whether there is economic and social contribution to entrepreneur

These metrics have a high spatial resolution (10x10m) and enables the possibility for in-field agricultural monitoring. The aim of this study is to evaluate four of t

Abstract Hydrogen as an alternative energy carrier has been up for discussion over decades. Perhaps this time, however, the political momentum and global technical context could be advantageous enough for the hydrogen economy to finally materialize. Despite investments from the EU commission up to €470 billion in renewable hydrogen, there are economical challenges in the way of decarbonisation of
