Seaweed has the ability to accumulate elements from the surrounding water, such as radionuclides and heavy metals. This makes them into useful bioindicators; suitable for assessing the pollution in the marine environment as well as the effect of potential future additions of heavy metals and radionuclides. Seaweed content has been examined in many studies, and over long time periods. However, th
Denna masteruppsats gjordes I samarbete med ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems. Målet var att hitta lösningar för att öka effektiviteten vid installationer av deras SL500-skjutdörr. Eftersom ingen problemformulering eller specifikt fokusområde gavs gällande installationsprocessen utvecklades projektet konstant vartefter vi fick ytterligare insikter gällande installationsprocessen. I takt med att olika prThis master thesis was conducted in collaboration with ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems. The aim was to find solutions for increasing the efficiency of the installation of their SL500 sliding door. With no given problem within the installation process, or specific part to focus on, the project evolved as more insights were gained into the installation process. As different problems emerged the project
Urban sustainability depends on both green infrastructure and safe, accessible cycling networks, yet these systems often come into conflict. Tree roots can disrupt paved cycle paths, causing surface deformation that compromises user comfort and safety while increasing maintenance demands. This thesis examines the drivers of root-related damage in cycle infrastructure, focusing on interactions betw
This thesis reconstructs a concept of social beauty from the sociological aesthetics of Georg Simmel in order to explore its normative potential for a critique of late-modern forms of sociality. The thesis makes four principal contributions. First, it develops a concept of social beauty as a distinct experience of social integration and vitality emerging in interactions between strangers. These in
Students in Serbia have been protesting and blockading since the lethal accident at Novi Sad train station on 1 November 2024. For the last year and a half, they have persistently asked the state institutions to act in accordance with the law. They refuse to be appeased by the president or scared to submission by forceful interventions by the police. Instead, they invoke their human rights to
Utbyggnaden av solenergi har ökat kraftigt under de senaste decennierna. Både globalt och i Sverige. I takt med utveckling av ny teknik har markbaserade solparker snabbt blivit ett allt vanligare inslag i det svenska energisystemet. Etablering av parkerna väcker frågor om åtkomst till marken och vilken typ av markåtkomst som är mest ändamålsenlig. En fråga är i vilken utsträckning fastighetsbildni
Studien undersökte sambandet mellan upplevt grupptryck i arbetsrelaterade sammanhang och arbetstagande studenters benägenhet att uttrycka avvikande åsikter. En kvantitativ tvärsnittsdesign tillämpades med en online-enkät som empirisk datainsamlingsmetod. Urvalet bestod av arbetstagande universitetsstudenter i Sverige, och datainsamlingen genererade 116 svar. Resultatet indikerade en positiv signifThe study explored peer pressure in an organizational context, and how it relates to the individual's tendency to express deviant opinions. The correlation was examined using a quantitative cross-sectional design, along with a digital survey to gather data. The sample consisted of employed university students in Sweden, and the survey generated 116 responses. The results implied a significant
Denna studie undersöker hur lagerarbetare upplever digital prestationsmätning, scannerstyrning och produktivitetskrav i sitt dagliga arbete. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i att digitala styrsystem inom lagerverksamhet både kan fungera som stödjande verktyg för effektivitet och struktur, samtidigt som de kan innebära ökad kontroll, övervakning och prestationspress. Syftet med studien är att bidra me
Beer brewing relies on the conversion of starch into fermentable sugars. However, in traditional mashing, 3–37% of starch remains unutilized. This is partly attributed to the protein matrix in barley malt, which traps small B-type starch granules and impedes the breakdown of the starch. This study aimed to investigate if applying hydrodynamic cavitation during mashing improved the conversion of to
This thesis investigates how existing urban environments can be adapted to strengthen climate resilience and improve everyday access to urban rest within dense cities. Urban rest is understood as restorative conditions within the everyday urban environment, where opportunities for pause, recovery, and social interaction can occur across both public and semi-private spaces. The thesis identifies an
Many studies on anaerobic digestion mainly focus on biogas production, while fewer studies focus on the management of the residual material left after the anaerobic digestion which is digestate. Digestate treatment is important to promote nutrient recovery and support circular economy. Membrane filtration can be used for digestate treatment however, the high solids content of digestate causes seve
Stadskärnor har under de senaste decennierna genomgått omfattande strukturella och ekonomiska förändringar. I samband med externhandelns expansion har detaljhandeln i allt större utsträckning decentraliserats och flyttats från stadskärnor till externa handelsområden. Detta har bidragit till ökade utmaningar för stadskärnor, bland annat i form av tomma lokaler, försvagad livskraft och förändrade ko
This thesis assesses the efficiency of the EU Law’s balancing act between the software developers’ copyright protection on their respective computer programs and the software users’ right to repair their defected software based devices. This research necessitates an EU legal method, implying the comprehensive analysis of EU legislation and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union
Selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of ammonia is a interesting field of research and is becoming increasingly more popular due to ammonias role as a hydrogen carrier for ammonia based hydrogen production. With the rise of ammonia based hydrogen, focus now lies on finding cheap and efficient ways to remove unreacted ammonia from the final gas stream. This to be done, without burning or destroying
Producing syngas with a low H2/CO ratio remains challenging in current industrial practice, primarily due to process limitations related to feedstock composition, reaction thermodynamics and restricted flexibility in conventional reforming technologies. This report investigates the potential of the Topsoe ReShiftTM technology as a revamp option for syngas production with a lower H2/CO ratio, lower
This thesis examines the 14 largest listed Swedish real estate companies on the Nasdaq Stockholm Large Cap segment as investment objects between 2006 and 2026. It analyzes their risk and return characteristics, identifies shared traits among the strongest performers, and tests whether an optimized portfolio of real estate shares can outperform both the sector index and the broader market on a ris
This master’s thesis focused on the crystallisation of E. coli ribonucleotide reductase repressor (NrdR) in the scope of fragment-based drug design. Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem and NrdR is thought to be a potential drug target for a new group of antibiotics. NrdR proteins are only found in bacteria and regulate the transcription of ribonucleotide reductase genes by binding to two Nr
This master’s thesis investigates the EU's intent to onshore its resource demand through a case study of mining projects in Oviken, Jämtland, Sweden. The study is based on empirical data collected through field research, encompassing 20 semi-structured interviews, street interviews, and observation. Through a qualitative approach, the thesis aims to capture views, arguments, and visions from d
Energiåtervinning från avfall utgör en central del av det svenska fjärrvärmesystemet, men står inför stora utmaningar till följd av klimatmål och cirkulär omställning. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att analysera hur plastmängden som går till förbränning kan förändras fram till år 2045, och hur det i sin tur påverkar förutsättningar för energiåtervinning. Arbetet analyserar utmaningen på två niWaste-to-energy (WtE) is a cornerstone of the Swedish district heating system, yet it faces significant challenges due to climate targets and the transition towards a circular economy. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the amount of plastic directed to incineration may change up until the year 2045, and how this, in turn, affects the conditions for waste-to-energy. The study analyses t
