The building industry is one of the most polluting sectors and consumers of resources. Simultaneously, demand for housing is increasing and resources are becoming scarce. Therefore, circular practices have gained emphasis to possibly leverage this problem. This paper aims to try and explain how the development of circular practices can be explained by the Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT). This pa

Transition to vehicles with reduced-emission fuels such as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), LNG (Liquified Natural Gas), Biogas, and Hydrogen gas is an important sustainable approach in the mobility industry. The pressure vessels that are installed as fuel containers on such vehicles are critical components in this transition. However, the Type IV Carbon-Fibre-Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) pressure vess

This is a bachelor thesis with the purpose to find out if features of Sweden’s current political landscape express signs of beginning autocratization. It is split into two parts, first to map out autocratic beginning characteristics and later apply them on Sweden. Thematic analysis has been used for the purpose and the essay has been largely inspired by Tidöavtalet and different civil society

This thesis investigates the impact of privatizing public employment services in Sweden by comparing two service models: Stöd och Matchning (Stom) and Kundval Rusta och Matcha (Krom). The study aims to determine whether a higher share of result-based compensation and greater freedom for providers to design their own measures of service provision under Krom, improve the results of the service. This

Forests are important ecosystems worldwide and in Sweden, where over half of the land is forested. Forestry management strategies significantly impact ecosystem productivity and carbon sequestration. This study focuses on comparing two prevalent forestry management strategies: Rotation Forestry (RF), which uses clearcutting as the prevalent timber extraction method, and Continuous Cover Forestry (

The Hummeln structure is a relatively recently confirmed impact structure located in the northeastern part of the province of Småland in Sweden (57.37347°N 16.25084°Ö). Due to its relatively recent confirmation, detailed petrographic studies regarding shock metamorphism and shock metamorphic features in the Hummeln-1 drill core are lacking. The drill core is the only drill core from the structure Det är ett allmänt känt faktum att det som orsakade det senaste massutdöendet och därmed slutet på dinosauriernas era var ett meteoritnedslag. Mindre känt är kanske det faktum att meteoritnedslag faktiskt är ganska vanligt förekommande sett ur ett geologiskt perspektiv. Lyckligtvis är konsekvensen av dessa väldigt sällan ett massutdöende, men meteoriter kan ha en stor påverkan trots det. Ett exemp

Denna studie presenterar resultaten från den första detaljerade strukturanalysen av glaciotektoniska strukturer på de norra klippexponeringarna på Ven tillsammans med den första sammanhängande tolkningen av öns glaciotektoniska utveckling. Dessutom presenterar studien resultaten av den första geomorfologiska kartläggningen av land former på Ven. Det primära syftet med denna studie var att fylla kuThis study presents the results from the first detailed structural analysis of glaciotectonic structures of the northern cliff exposures on Ven alongside the first coherent interpretation of the glaciotectonic evolution of the island. Additionally, the study presents the findings of the first geomorphological mapping of surface features on Ven. The primary objective of this study was to fill gaps

This thesis investigates the development of poor relief in rural Sweden through a case study of Fränninge parish from 1799 to 1865, a period marked by agricultural enclosures and legal reforms. Using detailed parish poor fund accounts, the study traces changes in welfare provision in a period of socioeconomic transformation and population growth. The analysis reveals a significant expansion of poo

Degrowth identifies capitalist colonial appropriation of the Global North as the driver for global environmental and social crises, calling for a new economy centred around human needs. Degrowth also proposes a societal transformation that requires a redefinition of human-nature relations. Industrial agriculture, dominated by profit-oriented multinationals, contributes to and intensifies existing

Society is undergoing a great transformation with regard to the climate crisis, where electrification plays a crucial role in decarbonizing. To meet the future energy demand, improving power grid utilization is essential. This thesis develops standardized methods to evaluate and identify key parameters in terms of impact and branch loading, and to determine the probability of load flow scenarios u

I takt med att klimatförändringarna blir en allt mer akut fråga ökar efterfrågan på hållbara transportlösningar, särskilt i glesbygdsområden där alternativen ofta är begränsade. Denna uppsats undersöker potentialen för små eldrivna tåg – i storlek liknande bussar och drivna antingen av batterier eller bränsleceller – för användning på icke-elektrifierade järnvägslinjer på ett kostnadseffektivtThis thesis investigates the cost efficiency of two drivetrain configurations—Battery Only and Hydrogen-Battery—for use in mini-trains operating on non-electrified rural railways. The study focuses solely on drivetrain-related components, in cluding onboard energy storage, traction systems, and associated infrastructure such as charging stations and hydrogen refueling facilities. A comprehensive l

This thesis examines customer satisfaction within IKEA's support services in Sweden and Great Britain by analyzing customer feedback data. It explores the intersection of anthropology and computational social science, contributing to the growing field of computational anthropology. The study identifies recurring themes in customer comments by employing a mixed-methods approach that combines co

Betsockerprocessen är en energiintensiv process där ångdriven indunstning används för att avlägsna stora mängder vatten från den upprenade tunnsaften, som innehåller det från betorna extraherade sockret. I takt med industrins önskade fokus på energieffektivisering har membranteknologier för förkoncentrering av tunnsaften fått ett ökat intresse. Trots lovande resultat i ett begränsat antal försök åThe beet sugar process is an energy intensive process relying on steam evaporation to remove large amounts of water from the purified thin juice containing the sugar extracted from the beets. As the industry seeks greater energy efficiency, membrane technology for pre-concentration of thin juice has attracted interest. Limited trials have shown promise but fouling, sugar losses or high osmotic pre

Approximately 80% of agricultural land in the world is comprised of annual crops which have a life span of only one year. Research has shown that these crops are unsustainable because of these short life spans. Soil erosion, nutrient leaching, and losses of soil carbon are just a few problems caused by annual monocultures. Additionally, with the changing climate, these cropping methods are both vu
