This thesis investigates the climate impact of a newly constructed residential complex in Oceanhamnen, Helsingborg, through an extended life cycle assessment (LCA) covering both building and non-building elements such as road infrastructure, inner courtyards, external installations, that area often overlooked in conventional assessments. The aim is to develop a replicable method to quantify the gl

The legacy of colonialism still wields a powerful grip: „through the property it occupies, the capital it is financed by, the materials it is constructed from, the underpaid migrant labour that continues to construct it, and the expertise that benefits from it through accumulations of social and financial capital“ (Herscher, 2021). Sadly, nothing of this incomplete list is within the past; we are

The formation of the intermetallic phase (space group ⁢42/⁢⁢) has a detrimental effect on the ductility of transition-metal alloys. This theoretical study uses first-principles calculations to investigate the stability and thermodynamic properties of the WRe and WOs phases. Our study indicates that the phase becomes thermodynamically stable at its ideal composition for temperatures above 1050 K an

The purpose of this work is to identify and analyze the key important barriers to uptake the compressed biogas (CBG) plants in India for enhancing their role as a sustainable energy source. Initially, the barriers are identified from the past academic literature using literature review process and are then validated through the fuzzy Delphi method with expert opinions. The finalized barriers were

Möjligheter och hinder med återanvändning av kanalsystem för ventilation Bygg- och fastighetssektorn behöver ställa om till en cirkulär ekonomi för att minska sin klimatpåverkan och uppkomst av avfall. Återanvändning av byggprodukter är en cirkulär metod som kan antas medföra en enkel och billig procedur jämfört med nyproduktion, inte minst för tillverkare som kan ta tillbaka använda produkter föThe construction sector accounts for 20 percent of Sweden's climate impact and 40 percent of all generated waste. Ventilation systems, together with other installations, represent about 10 percent of a building's climate impact during the construction phase. Reuse of building products is a circular method to prevent waste and reduce emissions, but reuse is not very common in the constructi

Gestures are usual companions to the words we speak, either enhancing them or simply accompanying them. Multiple studies focus on the relationship between gestures and speech, and even how they might affect who is listening. In more recent times, the field of investigation expanded to include insights into human behaviour in virtual contexts, making the most of the headsets worn by the users to, i

En mobilitetslösning för framtidens landsbygd Finns det alternativ eller komplement till den privatägda bilen? Skulle du som bor på eller arbetar med landsbygden våga testa och fortsätta använda ett sådant alternativ om det erbjöds? Detta testas i Skåne under ett års tid, där det dessutom visat sig att många är villiga att prova nya alternativ – när dessa görs möjliga och tillgängliga i vardagen.The transport sector contributes significantly to air pollution and requires suitable alternatives to help mitigate climate change. In the municipalities of Sjöbo, Svalöv and Tomelilla in Skåne, Sweden, Skånetrafiken is currently running a pilot project for on-demand public transport, called SkåneFlex. This study aims to examine the reasoning behind the design of SkåneFlex and to explore whether i

Denna studie undersöker hur aktörer inom den europeiska vinindustrin uppfattar värde, beredskap och utmaningar kopplat till datainsamling till följd av nya EU-direktiv, särskilt CSRD och e-märkningsdirektivet. Resultaten indikerar bristande beredskap bland både producenter och importörer, där mindre aktörer i synnerhet upplever regelverken som komplexa och resurskrävande. Datahanteringen präglas i

Privata skogsägares syn på att bevara natur vid installation av vind-kraft i skog De svenska skogarna är stora, nästan 80 procent av Sveriges yta är täckt av skog. Det låter mycket, men skogen har många användningsområden. Den ger oss virke och papper, möj-ligheter till vandring och turism, plats för vindkraft och är hem åt djur och växter. Samtidigt minskar antalet arter på vår planet, och både kThis study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of Swedish small forest owners’ perspectives on ecological compensation on their land in relation to wind farm construction, specifically how their sense of ownership influences their willingness to engage in such activities. To fulfil this aim, semi-structured interviews were conducted with ten private forest owners who had signed agreements for win

Det är alltmer tydligt att användningen av naturresurser är ohållbar för vår planet. Dagens resursuttag och resursanvändning representerar cirka hälften av växthusgasutsläppen, och 90% av förlusterna av biologiskt mångfald (IRP, 2019) och behöver förändras. Att gå från en linjär ekonomi som bygger på ett ”slit och släng”-mönster, till en cirkulär ekonomi blir allt viktigare. Politiken såväl som näResource extraction and processing contribute to more than 90% of biodiversity loss and water scarcity and about 50% of climate impacts globally. Moving towards a sustainable resource use is fundamental for reducing environmental impact. Resource use is often considered within the framework of the Circular Economy, a concept that has been widely adopted as a key strategy to meet this challenge. In

Though Lee attempted to sideline the issue during the campaign, gender conflict has continued, subtly but powerfully, to shape voter behavior in South Korea.

Abstract på SpanskaEl artículo aborda el fenómeno del cambio lingüístico a través del aumento del uso de anglicismos en el español contemporáneo. Se fundamenta en la idea de que el significado lingüístico de los anglicismos incluye tanto elementos ideacionales como interpersonales en términos de Halliday (1973). El objetivo es analizar, desde una perspectiva diacrónica y sociolingüística, la incorThe article addresses the phenomenon of linguistic change through the increasing use of Anglicisms in contemporary Spanish. It is grounded in the idea that the linguistic meaning of Anglicisms encompasses both ideational and interpersonal elements, as outlined by Halliday (1973). The objective is to analyze the incorporation of following four Anglicisms in the Spanish-speaking world from a diachro

Archaeologists create vast amounts of specialized data, which are often difficult to access, maintain, and reuse, even for practitioners themselves. In this article, we explore the implication of professional practices of data production in fueling archaeonormativity—i.e., the naturalization of behaviors and structures in archaeology that strip it of affect and meaning and that deny human (and non

Sweden is a country that prides itself on its mining tradition, contributions to European self-sufficiency and, more recently, its steel transition. It focuses its greening efforts on decarbonizing and automating the steel industry. Meanwhile, destructive impacts on land and biodiversity are largely overlooked. Drawing on the literature on extractivism and on psychoanalytical conceptual literature

Återvätning av våtmark hämmas av markavattningsföretag En fjärdedel av Sveriges våtmark är avvattnad och detta kan ha gjorts med hjälp av markavvattningsföretag. Nu vill Sveriges regering återväta våtmarker men markavvattningsföretagen ligger som en blöt filt över processen. Faktum är att de kan vara den enda anledningen till att ett återvätningsprojekt läggs ner. Den absolut mest betydande probleWetlands are one of the most precious ecosystems in the world. They are important be-cause of their high biological diversity and unique properties, such as water purification and carbon sequestration. Yet, wetlands are also one of the most endangered ecosystems due to land draining. In Sweden, wetlands have been drained för centuries due to the lack of arable land. The draining can have been acco

The objective of this study is to map and analyze the different uses and distinctions between the two verbal forms synthetic future (cantaré) and periphrastic future (voy a cantar). The study examines whether there has been a shift in the frequency of general use between the two forms over the past 20 years, as well as maps out the different contexts and levels of formality in which each form appe
