Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) is a largely promoted, but also heavily contested solution to the problem of climate change. Whilst removing carbon from the atmosphere, it potentially leads to detrimental side effects. This thesis provides guidance for NGOs, industry and policymakers in Germany and the wider EU context on how to assess the sustainability of BECCS implementation p
Equitable distribution of healthcare services towards the reduction of HIV-AIDS prevalence in Nigeria remains a major public health concern. One of several research model to solve this public health problem is the use Geographical Information System, a two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA), this model emerged in the last decade as a key measure of spatial accessibility, particularly in its appl
In myoelectric prosthesis design, there is often a trade-off between control robustness and range of executable movements. As a low movement error rate is necessary in any real application, this often results in a quite severe limitation on the dexterity of the user. One possible remedy for this could come from the use of multi-label machine learning methods, where complex hand movements can be ex
Value at Risk (VaR) is a popular measurement for valuing the risk exposure. Correct estimates of VaR are essential in order to properly be able to monitor the risk. This thesis examines a copula approach for estimating VaR for portfolios of commodities. The predictions are made from a semi- parametric model with Monte Carlo methods. The underlying model is constructed by choosing the best fit from
Due to increasing awareness and consumer demands it has become important for companies to develop an economical and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. The transition from fossil material to bio based is important for the future of people and planet, still, how the transformation should be implemented is yet unknown. In this report, the possibilities of
According to the United Nations, half of humanity now lives in cities. In recent years, many countries have seen a rise in the number of and intensity of heavy rainfall events due to the effects of climate change. The consequences of urban flooding in such a context can vary between just causing mild discomfort to tremendous devastation. Building cities that can resist flood is quickly becoming an
Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa bland ungdomar och unga vuxna har ökat och kommer sannolikt att fortsätta öka på sikt. Depression och ångestsyndrom är bland de vanligaste orsakerna till psykisk ohälsa världen över. Arbetsterapeuter besitter en avgörande kompetens inom aktivitet och hälsa. Denna kompetens kan vara behjälplig för ungdomar och unga vuxna med depression och ångestsyndrom. Syfte: Att kartläggBackground: Mental illness among youth and young adults has increased and will likely continue to increase in the long term. Depression and anxiety disorders are among the most common causes of mental illness worldwide. Occupational therapists possess competence in activity and health. This competence can be helpful for adolescents and young adults with depression and anxiety disorders. Aim: To ov
Dark matter is one of our universe’s largest mysteries and very little is known about what it is. One of the dominating theories, that it originates from an early universe thermal relic, indicates that it has interaction with the Standard Model. If this is the case, dark matter can be produced at accelerators and detected indirectly by searching for missing momentum signals. LDMX will join this se
Purpose: A Contribution to the understanding of plant-based consumption by researching how bodybuilders navigate identity issues associated with a plant-based diet. Theoretical Perspective: We take on a consumer culture theory perspective by researching identity theory, stigma, lifestyle transitioning, and legitimization strategies of the subculture. Methodology/Empirical Data Collection: Induc
In Sweden, about 150-200 children annually are born with some form of cleft lip and/or palate, making it the most common facial malformation in the country. Treatment often involves one or more surgeries and the speech development is followed up by a speech pathologist from the first year of life. One of the most common speech deviation for children with a cleft palate is hypernasality, which come
This thesis has been pursuing an objective to investigate the recent developments in the field of high oxygen barrier materials for the dairy based medical nutrition portfolio. The main goal of this research was to identify the materials and/or approaches that would allow the decrease of oxygen ingress with resulting shelf-life extension. Both flexible (pouch) and rigid (bottles) packaging has bee
The degree project described in this report also acts as a deliverable for a research project. The research project focuses on a new technique for the upgrading of biogas. This new technology uses a sterically hindered amine to absorb carbon dioxide from the biogas to raise its energy value. The amine used for this method is 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol or AMP. When absorb-ing carbon dioxide with t
The rapid spread of the infectious disease Covid-19 caused inevitable need of hand sanitizing products. The public agencies are recommending frequent handwashing and sanitizing and the current awareness of the importance of hand disinfection of the public will remain assimilated and will most probably become part of the daily hygiene practises. However, a frequent use of alcohol-based hand sanitiz
Abstract Responsive web design is the technique lot of companies apply to their website today. The reason is, that with this technique the website’s content adapts nicely on all devices from mobile phones to desktops. IKEA recently followed this trend on some of their platforms and among these is their internal communication platform called IKEA Inside Outside. IKEA is not entirely satisfied in
Deep learning is a machine learning technique inspired by the biological nervous system. The method has been used more and more over the last decades. Within this thesis, convolutional neural networks (CNN:s) are used for Gleason classification of prostate cancer in histopathological images. The data that has been used consists of digitalized microscopic images of prostate biopsies stained with ha

Higgs boson production with subsequent decay to photons was searched for in the data collected by the DELPHI detector at centre-of-mass energies between 183 GeV and 209 GeV, corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of nearly 650 pb(-1). No evidence for a signal was found, and limits were set on h(0)Z(0) and h(0)A(0) production with h(0) decay to photons. These results were used to exclude re
19 February 2026 15:15 to 16:00 | Lecture/talk What do literary scholars do in library archives filled with unpublished manuscripts, drafts, and forgotten texts? This talk offers an inside view of how working with archival literary materials, especially short stories and fragmentary writings, can expand and enrich our understanding of history.
