Inspired and influenced by the times of chaos, this Master’s degree project investigates how users and manufacturers survive in this disorganized, unstable, and even frightening living status. The result, Chaos, is a furniture collection designed to maximize flexible production and usage.

The purpose of this project is to explore the relationship between people and their home environment. In modern apartments with limited space, the distinct silhouette of individual furniture becomes blurred when they are placed alongside numerous other objects. Sometimes, people unintentionally overlap or layer these items, further blurring their boundaries. Inspired by this observation, I

Koldioxid är ett kemiskt ämne som får mycket uppmärksamhet på grund av dess roll som växthusgas. Carbon Capture är ett koncept som går ut på att fånga koldioxid från atmosfären i fast form för att på så sätt avlägsna det och mildra de skadliga effekter som det har på klimatet. Koldioxid är på grund av sina starka dubbelbindningar mellan kol och syre synnerligen inert och det krävs ofta hårda reaktIn this work, a series of nickel NCN complexes and ligands have been synthesized with the goal of determining whether they can perform so-called CO2-insertion reactions into Ni-C bonds. So far, only the synthesis of the Ni-Br precursor complexes to the previously mentioned Ni-C complexes have been synthesized. Attempts to synthesize the target complexes have been made and are described herein. Som

Denna studie är en fallstudie av en byggnad belägen i Malmö, Sverige, som undersöker olika energieffektiva åtgärder och deras potentiella påverkan på byggnadens energikonsumtion. En förstudie genomfördes för att inhämta kunskap om tillämpliga energieffektiva åtgärder från befintlig forskning. Därefter genomfördes fallstudien i tre huvudsakliga faser. I den första fasen samlades byggnadsinformationThis study is a single case study of a building situated in Malmö, Sweden, examining various retrofit measures and their potential impact on the building’s energy performance. A pre-study was carried out to gain knowledge on applicable retrofitting measures from existing literature. Subsequently, the case study consisted of three major phases. In the first phase, building information was collected

Food packaging has long been recognized as a potential environmental burden within the food supply chain, with packaging production and waste often considered as key contributors to the overall environmental impact. However, there is a growing recognition of the need for a more holistic approach to assess the environmental performance of food packaging, taking into account various factors that inf

Using data from the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children survey on smoking behaviors for roughly 440,000 European youths over the years 2001-2018, we show that a one euro increase in cigarette excise taxes reduces smoking prevalence (share of children who has smoked) by 2 percentage points using a two-way fixed effects model. This translates to a participation elasticity of -0.1, implying yout

Uppsatsen ägnar sig åt att undersöka de rättsliga möjligheterna för barnmorskor att utöva samvetsfrihet i samband med abortingrepp. I motsats till många europeiska länder saknar Sverige en lagstiftning som reglerar samvetsklausuler inom abortvården. För att undersöka barnmorskors rättsliga stöd för samvetsfrihet i yrkeslivet granskas relevanta rättskällor såsom regeringsformen, diskrimineringslageThe thesis examines the legal possibilities for midwives to exercise conscientious objection in relation to abortion procedures. Unlike many European countries, Sweden lacks legislation regulating conscientious clauses in abortion care. To explore the legal support for midwives' conscientious objection in their professional life, relevant legal sources such as the Constitution, Discrimination

The exact solution to a set of equations modeling the event-triggered control of a multi-agent system is derived and computed up to a specified error on the time between events. An attempt to minimize the number of events of the solution subject to bounds on overshoot and convergence time is made using a differential evolution method. Parameter points which result in a low number of events of the

The drinking water infrastructure is among our most critical infrastructures and hence it is important for society to secure. Today, there is a lot of critical infrastructures that are dependent on different conditions to uphold its functionality. These critical infrastructures are often interdependent as well. This Master Thesis aims to examine how the preparedness within the Swedish drinking wat

Insights from Big Data can become sources of competitive advantage and a foundation for decision-making, leading to an extended use of such technologies in many firms’ departments. Even if it is common practice to invest in BDA, oftentimes these techniques are not exploited correctly, resulting in an unrewarded effort by companies (Dahiya, Le, Ring & Watson, 2022). Research has contributed to

The advent of globalization has emphasized the importance of effective internationalization strategies for Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) companies. This research seeks to explore the internal capabilities of FMCG firms, examining how they can be refined, developed, and utilized for more effective internationalization. The study fills a critical research gap by providing an in-depth understandi

The purpose of our study was to explore what it is like to have a distressing near-death experience (NDE) and the aftereffects that follow. Positive NDEs have previously been more extensively studied, whereas research about distressing NDEs is still lacking. There have only been a handful of studies that have used qualitative methods to study both distressing and positive NDEs. We accessed all dis

The MAX IV synchrotron radiation facility in Lund is designed to produce bright and high-energy X-ray radiation. One important component of achieving this is to keep the electron beam inside the storage rings centered and stable. The aim of this thesis was to develop an MPC (Model Predictive Control) that can accomplish this task more robustly than the currently commissioned I-controller. A contro

This master thesis was performed in collaboration with Orkla Foods Sweden AB. The aim of the study was to investigate rice pudding and how storage time affects the texture properties of the rice grains inside the pudding, and if this could be related to some of the properties of the raw rice. Rice pudding is produced by Orkla Foods under the label Risifrutti and is a popular in-between meal snack

The present study explores the value and role of the physical space of the public library from the perspective of the visitors in the context of digitalization. The qualitative research was based on semi-structured interviews with regular visitors of Idé A Drottninghög (Helsingborg, Sweden), Idé A library staff members, and collaborative organizations of Idé A that make use of the library’s physic

Why have some countries decided to recognize Taiwan despite majority of the countries maintain official ties with China? The thesis aims to investigate the reasons behind (non) recognition of Taiwan. In order to answer to the research question, the research applies a comparative case study looking at the United States and Guatemala and their actions towards Taiwan and what could explain them. Thr

Aquaculture is an expanding industry, supplying closer to 50% of the total fish consumption. Commercialized fish production faces sustainability challenges which are important to address. Aquaponics uses wastewater from aquaculture to grow plants using hydroponics. This is a step towards making the industry more sustainable, but the practice is not straightforward. The plants and the fish thrive a
