The aim of this bachelor thesis is to enhance the performance of one of the electron storage rings at MAX IV. The performance is primarily evaluated based on the lifetime and injection efficiency of the ring. Improving these variables will enable smoother machine operation by providing faster injections and reducing background radiation during injections. Consequently, this optimisation project is
In the ecumenical global discourse, sexuality is often said to be “the most divisive issue”. Despite this, there have been and still are many ongoing conversations on this matter. One significant example is the document Conversations on the Pilgrim Way: Invitation to Journey Together on Matters of Human Sexuality, which was produced by the World Council of Churches and released in 2022. This mast
The bioenergy industry, particularly pulp mills, holds promise for achieving carbon negativity through the adoption of carbon capture processes. Presently, CO2 capture from flue gases poses significant challenges due to its energy-intensive nature and the risk of solvent chemical degradation. This thesis conducts a screening of primary absorption technologies and models a carbon capture process in
MAX IV laboratory is a modern synchrotron light source, providing synchrotron radiation for a wide array of research groups. To provide users with high-quality synchrotron radiation, the electron beam from which the synchrotron radiation stems needs to be well understood. This thesis describes a first implementation of time-correlated single-photon counting (TCSPC) as a tool to measure longitudina
Tuberculosis is caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, an airborne bacterium that impacts the lungs, affecting one third of the global population, and was declared a global health emergency by the WHO. Multi-drug resistant variations of the pathogen diminish decades of drug discovery, development, and research. This complex and multi-factorial challenge calls for new approaches in anti-microbial dr
This thesis examines the advocacy strategies employed by civil society organisations (CSOs) in Cambodia, focusing on land rights and women’s rights within the constraints of a shrinking civic space. The study aims to understand how CSOs mobilise resources and adapt their strategies to address human rights issues in an authoritarian context. Using postcolonial theory, resource mobilisation theory,
This thesis investigates the key factors influencing startup decisions to reintegrate environmental sustainability objectives (ESO). By adopting an inductive and deductive qualitative approach the study uses semi-structured interviews to investigate the decisionmaking of five startups that have undergone ESO reintegration. The findings lead to the establishment of a theoretic framework by identify
Sett till EU:s totala koldioxidutsläpp står byggnadernas energianvändning för en tredjedel av dem (Regeringskansliet 2023). Sverige har ett energipolitiskt mål om att ha en 50 % effektivare energianvändning till 2030, jämfört med 2005, benämnt energiintensitetsmålet. En stor del av den befintliga bebyggelsen i vårt samhälle har ett högt energibehov. Med ökade krav på energieffektivisering av det bOne third of the EU's carbon emissions come from buildings energy use. Sweden aims for 50% more energy efficiency by year 2030, compared to year 2005. Existing buildings, with high energy demands, require renovations for energy efficiency. However, it is crucial to consider the climate impact of such upgrades. Window renovations are one option. This study explores the complexities of improving
Due to the growing e-commerce volumes, product returns have become an increasingly important issue within the fashion industry. About 70 % of all returns are caused by poor fit or size. Therefore, there is a need to improve fit and size information online to decrease the rate of returns. In recent years, there has been an increased interest for implementing AI solutions to improve consumer informa
The Swedish social-democratic state has long been synonymous with a strong welfare system accompanied by high levels of trust. Lately, the Swedish population have demonstrated unease and dissatisfaction towards the Swedish state, and this trend seems to be more apparent amongst some specific socioeconomic and demographic groups. Previous research and theories have used trust as a measurement of th
This study aims to understand how individuals perceive and respond to a reform, focusing on the dichotomy between the "surface"—the presentation of the reform—and the "substance"—the internal reality experienced by employees. Specifically, it examines the implementation of an Activity-Based Workplace (ABW) at Havsby. Utilizing a qualitative methodology within the interpretivist
Polycrystals, crystals consisting of multiple grains with different crystallographic orientations, gained interest in recent years as they mimic industrial catalysts. They have been studied thoroughly utilizing imaging techniques to investigate the various surface structures of the grains; however, measurements under ambient pressure conditions are necessary for closing the pressure gap. In this t
Despite the widespread adoption and advanced capabilities of existing learning management systems (LMS), critical usability and functionality issues persist, hindering user experience and educational outcomes. Our research addresses these challenges by developing a comprehensive set of design principles designed to enhance LMS by following the design science research methodology. Through extensive
This thesis explores the contemporary cultural and political influences that both compete for and contribute to the shaping of England’s national identity. Amidst recent politicisation of nationhood and belonging, counter-narratives to prevailing regressive discourses have emerged and this thesis aims to elevate the progressive discourses that better represent modern-day, multicultural England. Th
Sustainability reporting has shifted from voluntary to mandatory in the EU under the CSRD requiring companies to adopt a double materiality perspective and adhere to common reporting standards known as ESRS. This regulation aims to enhance transparency, reliability, and comparability of sustainability data, fostering more sustainable business models and changing established management practices. T
The previous studies that mention Tagore and Gibran together have dealt merely with their lives or the influences they have had to one another. There has not been a comparative study of their works, say Gitanjali and The Prophet, with the focus on certain themes, such as love and longing. The prose-poems of Gibran and Tagore's songs have been influenced by Sufi poetry on the themes mentioned a
In this thesis, we study the Higgs boson mass spectrum of a Scale Invariant Two Higgs Doublet Model that includes an additional real singlet. This model results in three neutral CP-even states due to the mixing with the singlet. At tree level, one of these states has zero mass. To obtain a consistent and accurate mass spectrum for the Higgs bosons, the scale invariance is broken by incorporating r
Denna text analyserar musikens roll i skapandet av dokumentärer och undersöker hur kompositören kan påverka det slutliga verket och vilken roll musiken har i det. Den belyser vikten av tidigt samarbete mellan tonsättare och regissör med betoning på öppen kommunikation och ömsesidig respekt. För detta genomfördes intervjuer där samma scen presenterades med två olika musikstycken. Sedan analyserades
