Kemira Kemia AB produces a water treatment chemical named ”PIX-Sulfate”, where “PI” stands for “poly iron x”, and the “x” represents a conjugate ion, such as chloride or sulfate, in this case, sulfate. The main process for producing PIX Sulfate at Kemira’s plants today is to dissolve magnetite in diluted sulfuric acid and to oxidize the resulting liquid using oxygen. Currently, this process is car
Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) has been a contentious disorder for years and incorrect beliefs and assumptions about the disorder are still common both in the medical community and the public’s perception. Previous research has exemplified this by demonstrating that the representation of ADHD in traditional mass media consists of few depictions and homogenous stereotypes. In recent
In this paper, the viability of integrating solar power with an already running wind power plant is examined. The study, conducted in cooperation with Eolus, takes place in Anneberg, Sweden, home to three wind turbines with a combined capacity of 10.8 MW. This study examines whether or not it would be profitable to integrate an additional intermittent power source to the wind power plant’s existin
The internet brings a multitude of opportunities for information access, communication, and mobilization. Many studies point to the democratizing effect of the internet in that it increases political participation among citizens. However, much of this evidence is produced on a Western context where the penetration of the internet is well-established. This thesis examines the effect of internet use
This study aims to investigate a potential convergence between the Green and Liberal parties of Europe regarding cultural issues of the GAL-TAN-scale, such as the environmental issue in particular. The focus on this issue is inspired by the increased debate and focus on the issue in relation to the 2019 European Parliament elections and by the theory of issue entrepreneuring strategies of the Gree
Non-human animals are often excluded from contemporary political theories, much to their detriment in terms of welfare and protection. The ‘political turn’ is a subset of animal ethicists concerned with moving beyond motivating moral status and instead discussing the politics of a shared human-animal society. This thesis evaluates Philip Pettit’s neo-republicanism as a theoretical framework for a
Docking of mobile robots requires precise position measurements in relation to the docking platform to accomplish the task successfully. Besides, the pose estimation of the robot with the sensors in an indoor environment should be accurate enough for localization and navigation toward the docking platform. However, the sensor measurements are entitled to disturbances and measurement uncertainties.
This study concerns digital diplomacy and the changing role of the diplomatic profession. By constructing a survey followed by descriptive in-depth interviews, this study demonstrates that Swedish diplomats have overall a positive view on social media’s role within the profession. The use of social media has increased the transparency of the profession and the citizen dialoge. Furthermore, this th
Williams is a long standing, family owned and operated Formula 1 team. Their track record of success is closely tied to their status as a skilled and independent constructor in a highly competitive and monetized sport. When founder Frank Williams steps aside and his daughter Claire takes over, the team struggles to produce the glory of yesteryear. Claire’s appointment fuels accusations of nepotism
Theory is still inconclusive to what level income inequality affects economic growth, with little research accounting for the effects of human development. The paper aimed to analyze both the effects of income inequality on growth while controlling for the underlying effects of different human development indicators. This was done by using data of 55 countries for the period 1990-2019, with result
The enzyme dermatan sulfate epimerase 1 is one of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosaminoglycan dermatan sulfate. The expression of dermatan sulfate has been linked to several severe pathological conditions including breast, lung, and oesophagus cancer. The change in expression alters i.e., the tumorigenesis, cell viability, and adhesion. By altering the activity of dermatan su
The overall purpose of this thesis is to enrich the existing knowledge base by understanding how the audit practice is changing with the implementation of technological tools such as BDA and RPA. In addition, this thesis identifies and analyses what are the barriers holding back the audit profession from a wider use of technology in the audit.
This study charts the possibilities of recycled plastic and its use as an alternative building material for low-income housing in Colombia. The building materials in the study have been compared with respect to their physical properties, the cost and how they affect the indoor climate in each building. Colombia is a country that has been subjected to civil war for many years, which has contribute
This report describes a systematic review regarding validations of calculations by measurements of isotopic compositions, or decay heat, on spent nuclear fuel, SNF. 15 relevant or otherwise interesting studies, were found. Two reports were chosen among the found studies and analyzed. One of the studies described validations made with experimental data from measurements of isotopic compositions on
This thesis examines how Israeli political actors discursively construct and delegitimize the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) on the social media platform X between October 7, 2023, and January 29, 2025. Through a Discourse-Historical Approach (DHA), this study examines how UNRWA is framed as a security threat, embedded within broader ideologi
The global adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), developed by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), aims to enhance financial reporting transparency, comparability, and reliability by standardizing accounting practices and limiting managerial discretion. While IFRS has improved accounting quality in many regions, its impact depends on prior local GAAP quali
Contra rotating propellers (CRP) exhibit several benefits compared to a traditional single-propeller setup. It has for example a high thrust-to-area ratio and offsetting torque is minimized. Accordingly it has several applications, one of them being electrical vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The present thesis sets out to optimize the contra rotating propeller setup, both from a mo
Critical scholarship has increasingly questioned the effectiveness of external menstrual health interventions in the Global South, often highlighting their lack of cultural sensitivity and potential to reinforce menstrual stigma. These critiques raise concerns not only about individual well-being, but also about broader questions of gendered inequality. Although such initiatives frequently center
Over the past century, films and series about Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known as Sisi, have reflected her lasting role in European cultural memory. These cinematic portrayals continually reimagined her character. This thesis focuses on one aspect: her rebelliousness, exploring how it is constructed in film and how it has evolved over the past seventy years in response to shifting societal norm
