The construction sector accounts for a significant portion of Sweden's total greenhouse gas emissions and is a contributing factor to several other current environmental issues. Given this, demolitions are problematic from an environmental perspective. The aim of this study is to examine demolition permits granted within the City of Stockholm and assess the associated climate impact. The resea
The building sector uses about 40% of the total global energy use. Sweden aims to reach its new goal to reduce the energy use in their residential sector as well as commercial sector by 20%, which should be reached by year 2020 and 50% by year 2050.

With increasing country-level gender equality, country-level gender differences in personality are found to increase. This is known as the Gender-Equality-Personality-Paradox (GEPP). Possibly, the GEPP is a methodological artefact. So far, the personality trait scoring method has not been investigated as a potential source of the GEPP. Three kinds of scores were investigated in the present study:
Den internationella havsrättsdomstolen (ITLOS), inrättad under FN:s havs-rättskonvention (UNCLOS), utgör en avgörande tvistlösningsmekanism vid lösandet av havsrättsliga tvister. I takt med att världens hav blir viktigare för handel, resurser och miljömässig stabilitet, erbjuder ITLOS en specialiserad rättslig ram för att lösa tvister. Uppsatsen undersöker hur effektivt ITLOS kan verkställa sina The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), established under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), plays a vital role in resolving disputes about maritime law. As the world’s oceans become more important for trade, resources and environmental stability, ITLOS provides a specialized legal framework to address conflicts. This thesis examines how effective ITLO
Poly(vinyl chloride) has a long history of use in the flooring industry. Throughout the years, several environmental and health issues have arisen concerning the production, usage and disposal of PVC.

Plastic pollution is a severe global problem and every year approximately 368 million tons of plastic is produced. Both terrestrial and marine environments are impacted and hundreds of species affected. Marine plastic debris accounts for a weight of 268 940 tons and affects hundreds of marine species through habitat degradation, entanglement and ingestion. Microplastics (MPs) are a type of plastic
The start-up company LEVTEK is launching a new ultralight electric utility vehicle called the LEVKART. The Levkart uses a combination of robotics and AI-technology to offer semi-autonomous or autonomous riding and usage. The purpose of the vehicle is to serve as an alternative to cargo bikes and electric scooters designed for easy usage and as a more sustainable option to fossil-based transport. T
There is growing pressure from stakeholders on global corporations to ensure the sustainability of their products throughout the supply chain. At the same time, due to the high complexity and dynamism of supply chains, companies often do not know what actors operate in their supply chains beyond direct suppliers. Supply chain visibility (SCV) and transparency (SCT) are crucial for ensuring respons

About 96% of hydrogen is produced via chemical processes from fossil material globally and just 4% is obtained from environmentally friendly sources. Caldicellulosiruptor species are good candidates for hydrogen production via dark fermentation from a variety of substrates. They therefore provide a great opportunity to be used as decomposers of organic waste, lignocellulosic material and municipal
