Collective Intuitivism

The legacy of colonialism still wields a powerful grip: „through the property it occupies, the capital it is financed by, the materials it is constructed from, the underpaid migrant labour that continues to construct it, and the expertise that benefits from it through accumulations of social and financial capital“ (Herscher, 2021). Sadly, nothing of this incomplete list is within the past; we are

Buried but Not Gone – Internal Phosphorus Loading in Lake Vomb

På botten i en av Skånes största dricksvattensjöar gömmer sig gamla synder från förr. På sommaren kommer de till ytan och orsakar problem med vattnets kvalité och gör sjön ovälkomnande grön. I denna studie går vi till botten av problemet med förhöjda näringshalter i Vombsjön. Sedan en lång tid tillbaka har orenat avloppsvatten och vatten från jordbruksmark runnit in i Vombsjön. Vattnet har innIn this study, the internal load of phosphorus in Lake Vomb is explored. Years of external inputs from untreated sewage and agricultural runoff have built up tonnes of phosphorus in the lake sediment, periodically released causing HABs and impairing water quality. The aim of this study is to investigate how the internal load varies over a year and to explore correlations between internal loading,

Cirkulära stålkonstruktioner - Design för Demontering & Återbruk

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för en avsevärd del av Sveriges klimatpåverkan och resursanvändning, där stålproduktionen är en betydande faktor. Trots att stål är ett material med hög återvinningsgrad är direktåterbruket av bärande stålkomponenter i dagsläget begränsat. Detta utgör en outnyttjad potential för att minska koldioxidutsläpp och främja en cirkulär ekonomi, där Design för Demontering The construction and real estate sector accounts for a considerable share of Sweden's climate impact and resource use, with steel production being a significant factor. Although steel is a material with a high recycling rate, the direct reuse of load-bearing steel components is currently limited. This represents an untapped potential for reducing carbon dioxide emissions and promoting a circul

Synthesis of a Linear Symmetrically Fused Tröger's Base Analogue

Julius Tröger first synthesised ‘C17H18N2’ as an unknown product from the condensation of anilines with formaldehyde. From that point on, the history of Tröger’s base (TB) has widely evolved as new applications for its characteristic rigid, chiral framework easy to functionalise. It is in the field of supramolecular chemistry that TB has gathered the most attention these last years. This work is f
