Dagens samhälle rör sig mot en alltmer elektrifierad och grönare värld. Detta medför betydande förändringar för Sveriges elsystem. En växande andel väderberoende produktion, såsom vind och solkraft, skapar en ojämnare och mer oförutsägbar elproduktion än tidigare. Ökad elektrifiering av industrisektorn leder till högre efterfrågan på el, och antalet elbilar ökar, vilket förändrar både transportsek
The implementation of the revised urban wastewater treatment directive (UWWTD) introduced mandatory micropollutant abatement or quaternary treatment for many wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) within the EU. Rya WWTP in Gothenburg, which is treating almost 880,000 PE of water, must find and implement a suitable option by 2045 at the latest. One alternative is granular activated carbon (GAC) which
Komplexa, fragmenterade och temporära projekt med flera underentreprenörer (UE) som arbetar parallellt och i olika led är någonting byggbranschen präglas av. Vilket leder till komplicerade arbetsplatsproblem när flera aktörer ofta med olika bakgrund, förmågor och arbetsmiljösystem arbetar på samma plats. Detta kan öka risken för otydlig ansvarsfördelning och bristande samordning samt försvåra kontThe construction industry is characterized by complex, fragmented, and temporary projects involving multiple subcontractors working in parallel and at different stages. This leads to complicated on-site issues when multiple parties—often with different backgrounds, capabilities, and occupational health and safety systems—work at the same location. This can increase the risk of unclear division of
Geopolitical conflicts have increasingly exposed multinational firms to consumer boycott pressure, raising the question of how companies should respond to protect consumer relationships. This thesis examines how corporate response strategies to geopolitical boycott pressure influence purchase intention and brand trust among university students in Sweden. While crisis communication and consumer boy
The geopolitical competition between the United States and China over artificial intelligence has emerged as one of the defining dynamics of the 21st century. Yet despite a growing body of work on AI innovation, a structured and recent sectoral comparison of the conditions organizing AI development in each country remains underexplored. This thesis addresses that gap by applying Malerba's (200
Ovarian cancer is one of the most lethal gynecological-related cancers and has a high recurrence rate. Its heterogeneity and immunosuppressive landscape pose challenges when assessing treatment options. Novel immunotherapy strategies have potential to overcome its challenges with heterogeneity and immunosuppression but have not been successful yet. Utilizing the cGAS-STING pathway is promising for
Folding is an essential step in the manufacturing of paperboard packaging materials.In order to get nice folds with no cracks the paperboard lamina is creased in predetermined patterns. The act of creasing introduces delamination, which locally weakens the material. The creasing operation thus changes the local material characteristics of the paperboard, characteristics which parameters are hard t
The issue of cultural appropriation is a prevalent matter in fashion, as well as a matter of cultural preservation. The Spring Summer 2025 collection by Prada showcased several pairs of ‘flat leather sandals’ very closely resembling traditional Indian footwear, Kolhapuri chappals. The following paper addresses this issue through a sociological lens, applying decolonial understandings of power rela
This qualitative study explores how Bangladeshi female migrants in Sweden experience and shape processes of empowerment and their constraints during their migration journey and remittance practices. It responds to a gap in existing literature, which has mostly focused on the financial remittances and Bangladeshi male labour migration, in GCC and South Asian contexts, while largely overlooking othe
Vid många av dagens träkonstruktioner uppstår dragbelastningar vinkelrätt mot fiberriktningen. Detta utgör en betydande risk, både ekonomiskt och säkerhetsmässigt, eftersom brott i denna riktning kan innebära omfattande skador och i värsta fall dödliga utfall. Orsaken är träets markant lägre hållfasthet vinkelrätt mot fibrerna jämfört med parallellt med fibrerna. I dag används främst gran och furu
Urban flooding is an increasing challenge in Gothenburg, where flood risk is influenced by river discharge, elevated sea levels and hydraulic regulation. The river Mölndalsån contributes to this risk as it flows through urban areas before discharging into Göta älv. Future climate change may further increase the risk through rising sea levels and more intense precipitation. This thesis investigate
Cross laminated timber (CLT) is a sustainable alternative to concrete in multi-storey buldings. This project examines ”Gap CLT”, a modified version in which certain lamellas are removed to reduce material use. The reduction of material usage would decrease the CO2 emissions and therefore contribute to the prevention of global warming. However, the structural behavior of Gap CLT is not yet fully un
I sydvästra Skåne består berggrunden huvudsakligen av kalkberg som överlagras av en fast lermorän. Kalkberget skiljer sig från andra bergarter genom sin relativt låga hållfasthet och sin ofta uppspruckna struktur. Detta resulterar i att kalkberg i många fall klassas som mjukt berg. Dessa egenskaper påverkar dimensioneringen av stödkonstruktioner, dess nedslagningsdjup samt de lasteffekter som utveIn the southwestern part of Skåne, the bedrock consists mainly of limestone, followed by sedimentary soils. Limestone differs from other rock types due to its relatively low strength and often fractured structure. This results in it being classified as a weak rock in many cases. These properties affect the design of retaining structures, their embedment depth and the effects of actions that develo
This study investigates whether cultural distance is associated with M&A bid premiums, whether this association varies across Hofstede’s cultural dimensions, and whether it differs depending on the direction of cultural difference. Using a sample of completed cross-border M&A transactions announced between 2000 and 2023, this study estimates OLS regression models with a four-week bid premi
