Varje stad har ett industriområde, en gammal fabrik, en nedlagd bensinstation eller möjligtvis en hamn. Man går förbi och tänker att det ser lite tråkigt ut, men något kanske inte alla tänker på är att platsen troligtvis är förorenad. Bara i Sverige finns det 86 000 förorenade mark- eller vattenområden som kan medföra skador för människors hälsa och på miljön. Energihamnen i Göteborg är Sveriges sEnvironmental pollution caused by human activity is one of today's biggest dilemmas. Pollution in air, water and soil can pose risks to human health and the environment and can lead to a reduction in available resources. Investigating and remediating contaminated areas is therefore an important task. In the past 20 years, there have been two major spills of gasoline and diesel at the Energy Po

Despite growing interest in sustainable communication, current research provides limited insights into how consumers perceive sustainable communication from fast fashion brands. Existing studies broadly address sustainable communication on social media but rarely focus on specific industries. White et al. (2017) noted that consumer reactions to CSR initiatives remain underexplored, particularly in

Timber structures are increasingly growing in importance and utilization. A contributing factor to this trend is the introduction of cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is an engineered wood product comprising layers of wood made up of multiple boards, alternately referred to as "lamellae". Each layer is positioned perpendicular to the next and bonded together with adhesives. CLT is mostly

Klimatförändringar i kombination med förtätning av städer kommer leda till ökade översvämningsrisker i stadsmiljö. Hållbar dagvatten- hantering kan bidra till att minska dessa risker och innebär att ytligt avrinnande vatten fördröjs så nära källan som möjligt, fördelaktligen genom naturbaserade lösningar. Kvartersmark utgör ungefär 70% av marken i svenska städer och det saknas såväl tydlig lagstifThe combination of climate change and urban consolidation will lead to increased risk of pluvial flooding in urban environments. Sustainable stormwater management can decrease these risks by using measures for surface runoff to be detained locally, preferably through nature based solutions. Private properties constitute about 70% of the land in Swedish cities and there is a lack of clear legislati

The fermentation process is deeply ingrained in human history, not only for preservation but also for enhancing the nutritional value of foods. In the contemporary context, the surge in global food waste is driving innovative solutions, with surplus bread being explored due to its high rate of wastage. Simultaneously, there is a growing interest in reviving traditional fermentation practices amid

Detta examensarbete utforskar integrationen av metoder för att bedöma klimatpåverkan inom investeringsprocesser hos energiföretag, med särskilt fokus på E.ON i Sverige. Vikten av att ta itu med ökande klimatförändringar har intensifierats, vilket kräver en transparent och effektiv strategi för företag för att minska sin miljöpåverkan från investeringar. Denna studie syftar till att identifiera, utThis master thesis explores the integration of climate impact assessments within the investment processes of energy companies, with a specific focus on E.ON in Sweden. The urgency to address climate change has intensified, necessitating transparent and effective strategies within corporate investment decisions to mitigate environmental impact. This study aims to bridge the gap between theoretical

The order-to-delivery (OTD) process for a specific product group at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems (AAES) has been underperforming lately and failing to meet changing customer expectations, especially regarding reliability and speed. The current process configuration has been assessed as outdated and inadequate for efficient distribution of the product. Since the OTD process was configured, supply ch

Young people with complex needs are a vulnerable group who may be involved in crime, or substance abuse, have mental health problems, and be unemployed. It is a vulnerable group that may have several ongoing contacts with authorities. In this study, staff in child and adolescent psychiatry and municipal activity for youth employment centers have been interviewed. The purpose has been to highlight

Det moderna övervakningssamhället är förknippat med omfattande ljudupptagning i offentliga rum, på arbetsplatsen och även i hemmet, vilket motiverar ökad användning av s.k. talanonymiseringstekniker. Att värna rätten till privatliv samtidigt som övervakningskapaciteten säkerställs är balansgången detta examensarbete tar itu med i två delar. Möjligheten att blint extrahera hela talsegment ur ljudupThe modern society is associated with widespread sound recording in public environments as well as in the workplace and at home, which motivates an increased use of speech anonymisation techniques in recorded audio. A demonstrative example is masking recorded speech in hospitals' waiting rooms for eavesdropping listeners inside a control room, thus ensuring privacy of information. This thesis

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand how national culture plays a role in consumer perceptions through a comparative case study of three different ethical skincare brands from three different countries. Methodology: This study makes use of a qualitative research method, data collection is done through semi-structured mediated interviews of 20 participants from 14 different c

Background Rugby is a high-impact sport with significant injury rates. Injuries are common and rehabilitation is often needed. For optimal rehabilitation, a knowledge of injury surveillance concerning current description of injuries, prehabilitation and rehabilitation is necessary and moreover, the differences in these matters regarding men and women’s teams. Purpose This study aims to investiga

In this master's thesis, data from eight different cases of novice entrepreneurs is gathered.

Empirin har analyserats med hjälp av organisationssociologisk teori och perspektiv på organisering av offentl

Flera miljarder dollar går uppskattningsvis förlorade årligen p.g.a. något tämligen väldigt enkelt; omblandning. Det finns alltså oerhörda förbättringsmöjligheter inom detta område i olika industrier, vilket detta arbete handlar om. Omblandning eller mixning är ett mycket vanligt steg i olika tillverkningsprocesser i livsmedelsindustrin, där ingredienser oftast mixas i en omblandad tank till en hStirred tanks are essential components in design and optimization of food processing lines, as they assure proper mixing and homogenization of ingredients. In this context, the mixing time is one of the most impactful performance parameters affecting various process design decisions. Thus, reliable methods to accurately predict mixing times in stirred tanks are highly desired. The aim of this the
