Food systems can negatively impact the environment and human health, posing challenges to global sustainability goals. Employing the Three Spheres of Transformation framework, this thesis examines sustainable entrepreneurs' role in transforming food systems to support plant-based food consumption. Focusing on Swedish plant-based alternative food start-ups, I conducted 11 interviews to explore

This thesis reviews Colombia's waste management policies, decrees, and laws to scrutinize the country's discourses on waste management and their potential impact on waste pickers. Employing critical discourse analysis and Bacchi's What's the Problem Represented to be? (WPR) approach, the study critically examines these discourses. It identifies the prevailing discourse of free comp

The main goal with the thesis was to design, construct and evaluate a system able to drive and brake a mechanical axis to simulate loads and stored rotational energy - a hardware force simulator. The force simulator was then to be integrated in a existing hardware-in-the-loop testing rig to enhance the mechanical dynamics of door simulations. The force simulator was to be realised using a brushed

The world needs rapid transformation if we are to shift towards more just and regenerative socio-ecological futures. In merging scholarly fields of transformation studies, regeneration and ethics of care this thesis explores the connection between inner-outer regeneration through the in-depth study of a transformative caring process. With a focus on lived experience and affects, this study conduct

The European Spallation Source (ESS) infrastructure is being constructed in Lund, and will be one of the most powerful research facilities of its type in the world. The ESS linear accelerator (linac) utilizes different accelerating sections where a wide variety of techniques should be employed to accelerate a beam of protons to 2 GeV kinetic energy through Radio Frequency (RF) cavities before bein

English teachers in Swedish upper secondary school often focus on Standard British and American English, although they agree with the syllabus that different varieties of English should be included in teaching. This study aimed to investigate to what extent English teachers include different varieties of English in the classroom. Previous work has failed to provide a comprehensive overview of the

In the sedimentary bedrock of southwest Scania, located in the southernmost part of Sweden, there are several low-enthalpy Mesozoic sandstone aquifers situated at different depths. These aquifers collectively hold the potential for direct-heat geothermal utilization. Given the energy supply challenge across Europe, there is a growing need to characterise the geothermal resources and quantify their

The consideration of sustainability issues in different fields of law is increasing due to the urgent call for climate change after the year 2015, with the adoption of widely known sustainable development goals. As a consequence of the European Green Deal, EU competition law has started to play its role for the sustainable future. The possible application of Article 102 TFEU as a ‘sword’ to attack

As the climate on earth deteriorates, actions are carried out within Europe to limit the amount of hazardous emissions to lower the environmental consequences due to greenhouse gases. A significant proportion of the emissions can be linked to the construction sector and its use of virgin resources. An area with great development potential within the construction sector is linked to its management

One of the main limitations of a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is the large input capacitance needed to achieve the desired performance. This large input capacitance increases the total area of the ADC and it imposes the use of a powerful buffer to drive it. Since the input capacitance is inversely proportional to the kT/C noise, reducing it, generates m

I denna essä formulerar författaren tillvägagångssätt för en vidareutveckling av ekumeniskt lärande på basis av deltagarnas erfarenhet av ett projekt inspirerat av ekumeniskt lärande. Ekumeniskt lärande beskrivs i både sitt historiska sammanhang och olika influenser och definieras som ett förändrande och holistiskt lärande där den lärde är tänkt att reflektera över sin tro, livsstil, globala och sAbstract In this essay, the author formulates approaches for a further development of ecumenical learning on the basis of the participants' experience of a ecumenical learning inspired project. Ecumenical learning is depicted in both its historical context and different influences and defined as an altering and holistic learning where the tought is meant to reflect on his beliefs, lifestyle, g

Study purpose: This paper delves into the nuances of success in the niche market of video-on-demand (VoD) platforms for performing arts in Europe, focusing on managerial perspectives. It seeks to comprehend how top executives construct success and the associated meanings in their strategic decisions within this market, where success is often equated with profitability, survival, or expansion. The

This thesis mainly focuses on the protection strategies of microgrids for the Swedish power system in the medium voltage distribution system and specifically on the three-phase fault and earth faults protection strategies. For the analysis of both faults, different grid-connected, and islanding operations are simulated using DIgSILENT Power Factory. The simulation shows that using a distance prote

Is there a way to visualise time in an efficient way? This project explores how children perceive and visualise time, with the goal to create an educa- tional calendar that will give children in the ages of 7 to 10 a tool to visu- alise how to count with time and how a calendar year ”looks”. To achieve this, a mix of education and play is used to trick the children into learning how time counti
