The violation of baryon number, B, is a vital component of a process promoting the excess of matter over antimatter, as it is necessary to explain the baryon imbalance observed in the universe. Since experimental evidence for such an occurrence has yet to be discovered, the HIBEAM-NNBAR experiment, at the European Spallation Source facility, is a proposed two-stage program aimed at expanding the c

This paper will focus on the environmental effect of certain building materials after they have served the purpose of what they were designed for. Mainly it will try to answer the question: What would be the better option for the used product? Energy recovery, recycling, or reuse of the materials? And from which standpoint is it better to do any of these three. How does this effect the environment

This study aims to explore the impact of Short Local Food Supply Chains (SLFSCs) from the perspectives of producers and consumers in rural Spanish areas. Focused on the marginalized and rural areas such as Valle del Jerte (Cáceres,Extremadura) and La Garrotxa (Girona, Catalonia), this research employs a mixed-method approach, integrating qualitative data from interviews with supplementary survey

This study investigates whether asset allocation using public sentiment from social media data can enhance portfolio performance compared to traditional strategies. By constructing a sentiment index based on tweets about major NASDAQ-listed companies and employing machine learning and natural language processing techniques, we forecast public sentiment to inform a dynamic asset allocation strategy

This study aims to investigate whether cultural, institutional, and geographic distances between European lead investors and startups affect returns to Venture Capital (VC) investments. A cross-sectional analysis of 332 European VC investments initiated in 2015 and 2016 within the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA) and European Free Trade Association (EFTA) was conducted. Four diffe

In the context of Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, strategic autonomy (EU-SA) debates in the European Union have gained new saliency, especially in policy area of security and defence. EU-SA in the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) revolves around the issue of EU assuming greater responsibility for its security and defence. The shift towards becoming strategically autonomous t

This study delves into the healing experiences of some Swedish citizens aged 65 and above following the loss of a loved one. Employing a qualitative approach, six interviews were transcribed and analyzed through Reflexive Thematic Analysis. The identified themes include Exploration of the Pre-loss Phase, Intrinsic Factors, External Factors, Progression Towards Acceptance, Embracing the Present Mom

The process of pouring concrete is very common in the construction industry. Typically, a person stands on top of reinforcements around the mold of the slab while manually pushing the hose, guiding it in a smooth side-to-side movement until an even pour has filled up the mold. Another person is positioned at a distance from the pouring end controlling the pump and thus the flow of concrete through

Parkinson's disease is a progressive disorder that attacks a person's nervous system. The disease is incurable and can cause cognitive symptoms such as tremors and impaired movement. A Parkinson's patient has several different caregivers. It is important that the patient has access to palliative care throughout the disease. To assist patients and healthcare providers, a support plan ha

Syftet med denna studie var att få en uppfattning av psykoterapeuters upplevelse av mellanrummet mellan terapitimmarna, och vilken betydelse psykoterapeuten ger detta utrymme. Denna kvalitativa studie har genomförts utifrån fenomenologisk ansats. Semistrukturerade intervjuer användes där åtta legitimerade psykoterapeuter, med lång yrkeserfarenhet och med olika psykoterapeutiska inriktningar, interThe purpose of this study was to explore how Psychotherapists experience their space between therapysessions, and what that space meant to them and their work. This qualitative study has been carried out based on a phenomenological approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight licensed psychotherapists, with long professional experience and with different psychotherapeutic orienta

Efforts to reduce energy consumption in buildings have increased with the pending impact of climate change. Heat losses through airing behaviours remain a largely unknown factor due to the variety of reasons for opening a window, making generalization difficult. Currently, an estimation of 4 kWh/m2 heated area for airing heat loss is assumed in Sweden. Additionally, the resulting airflow from open

This conversion draws attention to a building rich in personal memories and historical value. Located in a village in the Southern German Highlands, this building has been at the centre of village culture for over eight centuries. The residential building is attached to a farm and has served as a tavern, restaurant and guesthouse. The fact that this example and many similar building typologies are

I övergången till en cirkulär ekonomi använder industrier i allt högre grad återvunnet material för att minska klimatpåverkan från sina produkter. Den ökade efterfrågan på återvunnet material drivs av både EU-direktiv och konsumenters preferenser. Både flask- och polyesterfiberindustrin ser potential i att möta EU:s krav och konsumenters efterfrågan genom att ersätta jungfruligt material med återvIn the transition towards a circular economy, industries are increasingly adopting recycled materials to decrease the climate impact of their products, driven by both regulatory requirements and consumer demand. The bottle and polyester fiber industries both recognize the potential to comply with EU policies and consumer preferences by replacing virgin material with recycled PET. Due to its desira

Rectal cancer is a frequently diagnosed cancer type worldwide, approximately 700,000 people are diagnosed every year. The mortality is high due to the high risk of metastasis where it mainly spreads through the lymphatic drainage pathways. Unfortunately, there are no accurate methods used in the clinic for determining the spread, resulting in that extensive colorectal resection is the primary trea

In November 2022, Balenciaga became the target of a widespread brand conspiracy theory. The Balenciaga conspiracy theory saw a viral spread on social media, with it escalating quickly, leading to offline ramifications. To best answer the research question "how does a brand conspiracy theory spread on social media, using the 2022 Balenciaga campaigns as a case study?", a virality framewor

Har du någonsin hört talas om en supernova? En exploderande stjärna som kastar ut högenergetiska partiklar. Inte nog med det så färdas även dessa partiklar genom hela galaxen. Galaxer är stora och endast några ut av partiklarna når vår jord. Vi kan finna dessa partiklar i en iskärna och på så sätt har forskare kunnat få tag på information som behövs för att kunna studera jordens magnetfält. Med inExtreme geomagnetic variations such as excursions where the magnetic poles shift, and return are not fully understood. 10Be, used as a proxy for the magnetic field studies has been proposed as a compliment to paleomagnetic models, allowing adjustments. LSMOD.2 is a sediment and volcanic based magnetic model encompassing the Laschamps excursion ~41 000 years ago. LSMOD.2 is limited due to lacking d

This master thesis project was completed in partnership with Lantmännen, known for producing Gluten Free (GF) PromOat®—a concentrated oat β glucan powder. The main aim of the thesis was to explore the properties of emulsions containing GF PromOat® oat β-glucan. It specifically focuses on the critical overlap concentration, viscosity, and stability before and after high-pressure homogenization

Sot är en produkt som kommer ifrån ofullständig förbränning av olika bränslen, som fossila bränslen och biogaser. Sot produceras därför, bland annat, i många av våra fordon, så sot släpps ut i stora mängder. Sot har en negativ påverkan på miljö och mänsklig hälsa. Det finns olika typer av sot. De som absorberar ljus bättre och har större klimatpåverkan kallas moget sot, medan sot med sämre ljusabsSoot is a known contributor to climate change due to its strong light absorption possibility. It has been shown that adding alkali salts during the soot formation reduces its soot absorption ability, and thus reduces its impacts, but the exact mechanics are not fully understood. This thesis aims to get a better understanding of the effects that salts have on soot. The salts used were sodium chlori
