The transition towards sustainable rail transportation has positioned hydrogen as a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels. This thesis focuses on the analysis of design for onboard and offboard hydrogen storage systems for light trains, which plays an important role in facilitating the adoption of hydrogen-powered rail vehicles. It explores state-of-the-art hydrogen storage technolo

Purpose: To examine how different branding strategies (direct branding, sub-branding, and independent branding) in luxury downward line extensions affect the exclusivity and brand im- age of the parent luxury brand. Design/methodology/approach: This study follows a qualitative approach by conducting semi-structured interviews with 15 respondents. The interviews were based on three luxury brand cas

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of brand logics on the success of brand extensions. Methodology: This study has examined two different case studies to better understand the effect of brand logic. An extensive literature review was done on “brand logics”, specifically Unique Selling Proposition (USP) and the Golden Circle, “brand extensions” as well as “brand identit

Research Question: Does the success of price-driven e-commerce platforms like Temu indicate a fundamental shift away from traditional branding values such as emotional connections, trust, and long-term engagement, or is it an adaptation to evolving consumer preferences for affordability and convenience? Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to critically investigate whether the success of price-

Technological innovation has been a crucial driver of economic growth, leading to significant improvements in our quality of life. However, the rise of dual-use technologies—those with both beneficial and harmful potential—poses increasing risks. This paper examines what the impact of government policies designed to mitigate these risks is on innovation, focusing on Denmark’s 2008 Biosecurity Law

Fossila bränslen har sedan den industriella revolutionen under 1800-talet dominerat som en användbar energiresurs. Med den ökade förbränningen av kolvätena, som länge har varit lagrade i marken i olika former, har även mängden koldioxid, $\mathrm{CO_2}$, ökat i atmosfären. Koldioxid är en växthusgas och bidrar till den omtalade växthuseffekten, vilket resulterar i en ökad temperatur. Denna ökade tChemical absorption of acidic gases, such as CO2, using amines, is a mature technique within Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and rely on the equilibrium reaction for both absorption and desorption. Carbon Capture and Storage systems are suggested as viable key processes to reduce anthropogenic carbon in the atmosphere. However, the technique is divided into two different approaches: pre-combustio

The aim with this project was to improve the workspace of activity based offices. In the aftermath of Covid-19, people working remote gave companies the possibility to create smaller offices with shared spaces. This removed the customizable workspace for the employees as they found themselves trying to find a new desk each day which suits them, and there for creating a hostile environment with no

Purpose: To understand the key principles that enable brands to construct long-term marketing campaigns, helping communicate, maintain, and build brand identity. Design/Methodology: This study uses a case study approach by conducting content analysis of Dove’s 20-year self-esteem campaign. The analysis is supplemented by a qualitative survey of Dove’s Nordic brand management team in order to conte

Frontex spelar en avgörande roll för att skydda mänskliga rättigheter genom sin direkta kontakt med migranter. Denna studie undersöker hur Frontex beskriver risker för migranter och hur denna beskrivning har förändrats under det senaste decenniet. Studien analyserar tre av Frontex årliga riskanalysrapporter genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys med en teoretisk ram om mänsklig säkerhet. Resultaten vFrontex plays a crucial role in protecting human rights through its direct contact with migrants. This study examines how Frontex describes risks to migrants and how this description has changed over the past decade. The study analyses three of Frontex's annual risk analysis reports through a qualitative content analysis with a theoretical framework on human security. The results show that Fro

Bakgrund: Användning av digitala vårdtjänster ökar snabbt och teknologi utvecklas konstant inom hälso- och sjukvård. Aktuell forskning och samhällsutvecklingen indikerar att den digitala primärvården sannolikt kommer att fortsätta växa, vilket beror på delvis en ökad medellivslängd men också personalbrist. Digitaliseringen betraktas som en potentiell lösning för att möta dessa utmaningar men det k

From Seedlings to Solutions: Which Test Will Sprout Success? Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a condition in which the body attacks its own cells that produce insulin, a necessary hormone that allows us to use energy from food. People who do not have insulin are unable to process sugar effectively, which causes major health problems. Since there is currently no cure for this condition, affected individua

The mycelium enables a fungus to explore and interact with spatially and temporally heterogenous environments. It operates at a range of scales, with hyphal traits and cellular events affecting network and colony behavior. Recently, the fungal mycelium has also been used to produce new, sustainable biomaterials which can serve as alternatives to numerous non-renewable or polluting materials and pr

For decades, the Gaza Strip has been under Israeli occupation combined with reoccurring military escalations, continuously impacting Palestinian lives. On October 7th 2023 a severe escalation took place yet again, in which questions were raised surrounding the level of legality of Israel's actions. This thesis analyses the case of Israel's military operation in Gaza throughout 2023/2024, a

Inhibitory neurons or interneurons are important regulators of brain signaling. Parvalbumin (PV) interneurons, the most common interneuron subtype, have the unique ability to fire a rapid train of action potentials. They regulate the activity of pyramidal neurons to promote appropriate behavioral responses. Cortical PV interneurons’ function is greatly diminished in neuropsychiatric disorders e.g.

Many of the border regions along the Norway-Sweden border are thinly populated, rural areas, which means that the societal response to accidents, emergencies, and disasters in these regions will often have to rely on external assistance. And often the closest assistance can often be found in the municipality across the border. However, aligning the emergency management of two different countries w

Today, social media offers new possible tools for organizing and spreading political messages than in the past, changing the way activism can take shape and thereby producing new forms of records. These records make up an important part of today’s history and therefore should be preserved for the future. However, despite the possibilities that social media offers, commercial social media platforms

Methods: A literature search was conducted until March 2024; journal credibility was confirmed via h-5 index. In total, nineteen randomized and nonrandomized trials (n = 707) were ac

Att fånga upp koldioxid från industriella utsläpp eller direkt från atmosfären och omvandla det till mer värdefulla föreningar, kallat "carbon capture and utilization", är en intressant metod för motverkandet av den globala uppvärmningen. Med en katalysator kan koldioxid och vätgas användas för att tillverka metanol som är användbart som bränsle och i kemikalieindustin. En nyligen upptäcNickel gallium alloys have recently been discovered as a promising material for the catalyzation of methanol synthesis from carbon dioxide. Due to the novel nature of the material system for this purpose, there is a large potential for optimization in terms of catalytic activity and selectivity for methanol. Optimization through engineering of phases and facets in such materials is often difficult
