This research paper investigates the technical feasibility, system requirements, performance characteristics, and potential for optimization of an industrial heat pump in a district heating system, using the Modelon Impact platform. The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and limitations of using cloud-based simulation platforms for the design and analysis of indust
Unmanned stores are increasing in popularity as the prominence of digitalization is changing not only the customer-retailer interface but also the servicescapes of the stores. The current stakeholders within the industry are (1) tech-positive entrepreneurs that want to innovate the industry or (2) convenience-focused retailers adopting technological solutions to ease the workload.

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore young consumers' identity creation in the context of nostalgic consumption and marketing. The study seeks to deepen the understanding of how young consumers construct their identities by exploring the impact of two forms of nostalgia, personal and historical. Theoretical Perspective: To analyze the empirical data and gain insight into co
Climate change is causing unprecedented damage to our planet, requiring new tools and accelerated efforts to mitigate the adverse effects. Working time reductions (WTR) have long been proposed as a promising approach, yet first recently it is gaining increasing attention. The environmental effects from working time reductions, with kept wages, are however less studied. This paper adopts a qualitat
This thesis focuses on designing and prototyping a companion application for Xocchiali's AR glasses which are to be stylish, unobtrusive and cheap smart glasses designed to be used on a daily basis. The main goal was to create a user-friendly application that helps configure the glasses for everyday use. Additional goal was to explore possibility of implementing designed features on a microcon
Since its composition two centuries ago in 1824, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (Ode to Joy) has been heralded the world over not only as a great work of art, but also as a symbol of political importance. In Germany, it was lionised as the embodiment of a national spirit, first during the Franco-Prussian war, then as a prize of the Nazi repertoire; in Rhodesia, it became the national anthem of a far-r

The study addresses three research questions by assessing the feasibility of possible cooperation between local public transport companies and disaster management authorities during a blackout. Data from 14 interviews with experts from disaster management authorities, public transport com
Till skillnad från vad som visat sig i tidigare forskning verkar inte den elektrokemiska extraktionsenheten, som användes i detta projekt, ha någon positiv inverkan på satsvis fermentering. Projektet visade också att vid kontinuerlig fermentering ökade andelen transporterad bärnstenssyra, med denna extraktionsenhet, jämfört med satsvis fermentering. I det här projektet användes en bakterie som heThis project utilizes an electrochemical recover unit to extract succinic acid through an anion exchange membrane. The extraction was first used in abiotic experiments using synthetic broth mimicking a fermentation with Actinobacillus succinogenes. The extraction was favored by high salinity of the anolyte and a pH controlled at pH 7 in the catholyte. Batch fermentations were coupled with the extr
Många städer runt om i världen står inför samma utmaningar när det gäller kvinnors förmåga att röra sig och känna sig trygga i offentliga utrymmen. För kvinnor innebär användningen av offentliga utrymmen rädsla för sexuellt våld och för att bli attackerade, vilket tvingar dem att alltid vara vaksamma och minskar deras livskvalitet. Genom historien har städer planerats av främst manliga planerare,Many cities around the world are facing the same challenges when it comes to the ability for women to move around and feel safe in public spaces. For women, using public spaces entails fear of sexual violence and of being attacked, which forces them to always be vigilant and reduces their quality of life.

This following essay will furthermore examine how lawmen apply the CRC in regard to foreclosure of housing where children live, and if the convention has somehow cha
Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore what may facilitate or inhibit a stronger corporate brand orientation in a retail organization. We explore the factors of internal corporate brand identity elements, internal corporate brand image and internal branding, while also considering retail-specific characteristics. To do so, we investigate the internal perspective of the corporate
IT-medarbetare är idag väldigt heta på arbetsmarknaden där arbetsgivare tävlar om att få in rätt profiler. Många unga utbildar sig idag inom IT och när de tar sitt första jobb vet de hur eftertraktade de är på marknaden, vilket gör att de nyexaminerade IT-medarbetarna kan ställa ganska höga krav på sina arbetsgivare. Det räcker alltså inte bara med att vinna rekryteringstävlingen, som arbetsgivare
Under 2000-talet har det skett många olika manifestationer i de nordiskaländerna, som ofta utmanat samhällets syn på vad som utgör en godtagbar demonstration och huruvida tydliga gränser bör sättas i medborgarnas yttrandefrihet. Ett exempel på detta har varit Rasmus Paludans manifestationer i Sverige och Danmark där han har tänt eld på Koranen, vilka i många fall har urartat. Under påsken 2022 eskIn the 2000s there have been many different demonstrations in the Nordic countries, often challenging society's view of what constitutes an acceptable demonstration and whether clear limits should be placed on citizens' freedom of expression. An example of this has been Rasmus Paludan's demonstrations in Sweden and Denmark where he has set fire to the Koran, which in many cases have de
Background: Organizations implement agile methodologies with the aim to increase their ability to respond quickly and adapt to changing environments. Agile transformations include changes in the organizational structure, processes, and roles. Most agile frameworks and approaches introduce new leadership roles, such as the scrum master and product owner; however, the project manager role is not
Soil moisture (SM) plays an important role in the exchange of heat and water between the surface and atmosphere, impacting water and energy cycles and the climate. Satellite remote sensing offers a global-scale estimation of SM; however, the coarse resolutions of satellite SM products, typically ranging from 25-50 km, are unsuitable for regional analysis. To overcome this limitation, various spati
The aim of this research is to investigate how employees of a Higher Education Institution in Sweden make sense of the concept of diversity.
