This study examines the implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, specifically the monoethanolamine (MEA) chemical absorption method, in a biomass power plant. The aim is to assess the energy requirements and optimize the solvent processes to improve the overall efficiency of the carbon capture process. The use of bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (Bio-CCS) is pro
The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted industries across the globe and has forced organizations to respond. One example is the medical technology (medtech) sector in which small and medium- sized enterprises (SMEs) were impacted and had to respond strategically. Previous literature on crisis management is still immature in respect to strategic responses to this unique crisis. Therefore, the purpose of
The building sector is the largest contributor to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily due to two factors: the embodied energy of construction materials and the operational energy consumed over a building’s lifespan. Given this substantial environmental impact, sustainability and climate resilience have become critical priorities in global policy frameworks. Addressing this challenge requires
This thesis aims to examine, explore, and analyze the implications and consequences of the current Trump administration’s development of and conduct in the “war on drugs” on international law as well as the international community. To achieve this, I work under the theoretical frameworks of “law in context” and Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL). Through a mixed methodology, which
This thesis examines how digital-ready regulatory design shapes the operationalisation of human rights due diligence (HRDD) within EU sustainability regulation. It focuses on the growing integration of digital and informational infrastructures into legal frameworks governing sustainability reporting, traceability, monitoring, and corporate due diligence. More specifically, the thesis analyses how
This is a qualitative study and the aim and purpose of this thesis is to problematise authorities and fashion companies’ objectives and strategies for ecological sustainable fashion. The discussion is based on two questions: Which strategies and objectives do fashion companies and public authorities use for ecological sustainable fashion? Are there any divergence between fashion companies and publ
Cities are experiencing substantial population growth, they generate about 80 percent of global GDP and they are in power of local legislation. This makes them crucial actors in facing sustainability challenges. A framework that allows for a holistic approach to sustainability is the triple bottom line, which advocates for joint consideration of social,economic, and environmental development. In p
The aim of this study is to analyze the environmental impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Sub-Saharan Africa. Over the last decades, increasing levels of environmental degradation have been recorded and Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is a region that is particularly vulnerable to these climatic changes. It has been claimed that the environmental degradation, with rising levels of CO2 emission,
Individual inventors have played an important role in shaping modern economic growth with their inventions. However, the upsurge in corporate and institutionalised research and development (R&D) has overshadowed the individual inventor in both academia and policy research. In Sweden, the individual inventor continues to provide socially and environmentally beneficial innovations that solve pro
Purpose – While e-commerce marketplaces have changed the way SMEs operate across borders, literature connecting digital platforms with the internationalisation of firms is scarce. Although the Uppsala Model and the Born Global concept acknowledge the influence of digital technologies, they do not capture the phenomenon of e-commerce marketplaces as a new mode of entry. In light of the new opportun
Runtom i världen arbetar människorättsorganisationer för att fler ska åtnjuta sina mänskliga rättigheter. Att aktivitet resulterar i långsiktig förändring är av intresse dels för organisationen ifråga men även för finansiärer och målgrupper. Att mäta effekt av insatser har dock visat sig vara svårt. Mot bakgrund av det är syftet med uppsatsen att undersöka hur tre organisationer (Amnesty InternatiThroughout the world, human rights organizations are constantly working to ensure more and more people can utilize their inherent human rights. These global organizations, along with investors and target groups, strive for permanent results. However, measuring the impact of these organizations’ interventions has proven to be very difficult. Therefore, the purpose of this bachelor thesis is to inve
Smartphones and social media have become inextricable parts of our daily lives. The everyday lives and communication practices of migrant workers are particularly affected by these global technological developments. Such global developmental trends are especially visible within the growing body of scholarly literature on migrant transnationalism and technology, where mobile phones are examined as
The epoch of the Anthropocene, a period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment, has witnessed a decline in oxygen concentrations and an expansion of oxygen-depleted environments in both coastal and open ocean systems since the middle of the 20th century. This paper provides a review of system-specific drivers of low oxygen in a range of case stud
Aims: The HERMES (HEart failure Molecular Epidemiology for Therapeutic targetS) consortium aims to identify the genomic and molecular basis of heart failure. Methods and results: The consortium currently includes 51 studies from 11 countries, including 68 157 heart failure cases and 949 888 controls, with data on heart failure events and prognosis. All studies collected biological samples and perf
Abstract Background: The Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Trauma Specific (AAQ-TS) is a self-report measure designed to assess-trauma-related psychological (in)flexibility, as conceptualized in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. However, there are no studies to date regarding its psychometric properties. This study explores such properties in the Portuguese version of the AAQ-TS, in Portuguese
Plastics have become ubiquitous in modern society. It is a group of materials that is versatile and useful in many types of applications and have thus become extremely popular. Plastics are thus important for many industries and value chains as well as for everyday practices of most individuals – and should thus be also for investors and financial actors. A transition to sustainable plastics will
This article explores complementary currencies (CC) that work on the basis of community credit schemes in Argentina, a country often referred to as a laboratory in terms of monetary exploration. In contrast to alternative community-based monetary systems created in the global North, CC developed in the global South usually pursue the creation of supplementary currency circulation in order to addre
