Det finns ett ökat intresse för att förstå forskningens bidrag och roll i omställningen till ett mer hållbart samhälle. Hursomhelst karaktäriseras forskningsutvärdering och management av osäkerheter och en rad svårigheter, såsom balansen mellan långsiktiga och kortsiktiga projekt, inkrementella och disruptiva projekt m.m. Denna studie undersöker tvärsnittet mellan hållbarhetsbedömningar och forsknThis study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand

The quality of a flour can vary greatly depending on the wheat variety and on the conditions while growing the wheat. Currently, the quality is mainly assessed by test baking the flour to observe the volume of the final product. The aim of this study was to investigate if three instruments (Alveolab, Mixolab and Rheo F4) analyzing rheological behaviours connected to dough preparation and baking pr

As convenience keeps driving the ready meals market, the foreseen rising sales might increase the environmental impact caused by this food category. Strategies for reducing the environmental impact of food products have been identified, some focusing on food packaging and eco-design. However, a gap between the current published guidelines and the requirements considered by food companies has been

Kenya stands at the forefront of Eastern Africa’s economic growth, showcasing potential driven by a robust economy, a vast market, and commendable progress in education and infrastructure.

However, the country’s industrial experience is often ov

Bakgrund - Ambulanssjukvården ska kunna bedriva triagering och avancerad sjukvård i det prehospitala rummet. Detta genom rätt kompetens och medicinteknisk utrustning. Riktlinjerna beskrivs som otillräckliga gentemot de patienter som inte bedöms vara kritiska. Ambulanssjuksköterskans bedömningsprocess beskrivs som olika faser som speglar arbetet före, under och efter mötet med patienten. Vårdande bBackground - In today's society, the ambulance services are expected to perform triage and advanced medical care in the prehospital environment. This is achieved through appropriate competence and medical-technical equipment. Guidelines are described as insufficient towards the patients that are not critically ill. The assessment process of the specialist ambulance nurse is described as comple

Most deterioration processes in cement based materials are closely related to moisture sorption and moisture transport properties. Therefore, it is important to study these properties, both theoretically and practically. This work is an experimental investigation in this field. Nowadays, the cement industry produces cements with increasing amounts of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) to

This study deals with the transformation of institutions of higher technical education in Sweden. It situates those processes in the context of educational reforms during the second half of the 20th century. Lund Institute of Technology, Lunds tekniska högskola (LTH), is focused upon. It was founded in 1961 as a major addition to the expanding higher education system. As a newly established instit

Lanzarote is an island that is part of the intraplate ocean island volcanism that makes up the Canary archipelago. The Timanfaya eruption (1730-36) was a crucial event in the geological history of Lanzarote. It is considered an anomaly in the volcanic record of the archipelago due to its long eruptive activity, large volume of lava and composition (alkali basalts evolving into tholeiites). The ori

Currently, multiple environmental crises threaten to irreversibly alter the living conditions that humanity has enjoyed on Earth for millennia. One of the main activities that contribute to these worrying environmental issues is the production and consumption of meat, which also poses serious public health and ethical concerns. In order to tackle these issues, a strong case has been made for the n

Problem discussion: To be more competitive, Trading Area Wood is working on developing their suppliers in efficiency projects. However, they find it hard to motivate their suppliers to take part in the projects. Therefore, they need a way to show the suppliers the positive effects of participating in the efficiency projects. Moreover, Trading Area Wood has troubles to predict the economical outcom

Oats (Avena sativa) are part of the cereal whole grain family, and their production is on the rise for the past few years due to extensive research done on the health benefits it can provide to humans. ScanOats project in Sweden is one of the research groups across the world that has done extensive work on oats. The lines CT-BG-53, CT-BG-21, and CT-BG-37 are mutant lines harvested by Crop Tailor A

Papperssugrör kan förhoppningsvis ersätta dagens plastsugrör på mindre dryckesförpackningar, för att minska engångsanvändningen av plast över hela världen. Tetra Pak producerar sina egna papperssugrör i Lund, och undersöker möjligheten att övervaka produktionen med hjälp av bilder på de producerade sugrören. I detta arbete ligger fokus på styrkan hos tippen på sugröret, och vilken kraft som behövsContinuous production control is important for the production using Tetra Pak equipment, as problems that are found early in the chain of production can minimize the need for waste greatly. In production of paper straws, a possible production control could be to photograph straws during production, analyse these and predict how good the straw is, using the image. If the predicted performance of th

This study aims to investigate how consumers perceive variety in grocery stores and further how private brands have affected consumers’ perceptions of variety in grocery stores.The study focuses on the perceptions and attitudes towards variety and the impact of private brands on perceived variety. Hence, a qualitative rather than quantitative study has been used. Photo elicitation has been used in

Problem statement This master thesis was initiated since today, when developing a new mobile phone at Sony Ericsson, it is difficult to get a perception of the ergonomics and the tactility of the keyboard before the first design prototype (DP0 and DP1) is built. The SLA block model used today is completely solid and consequently a secured decision of the final design can not be made in this phase
