Detta projekt avsåg att optimera ett automatiskt backspolande filter för emulsionspolymerer på the Dow Chemical Companys anläggning i Landskrona, samt att jämföra det med det befintliga påsfiltersystemet. Då filtret använder färdigprodukten för att backspola filtret fokuserade optimeringen på att minska mängden produkt som spolas ut, så kallat reject, då detta medför avfallskostnader och förlust aThis project aimed to optimize an automatic backwash filter for emulsion polymers at the Dow Chemical Company's facility in Landskrona, and to compare it with the existing cartridge filter system. Since the filter uses the finished product to backwash the filter, the optimization focused on reducing the amount of product that is flushed out, so-called reject, as this entails disposal costs and

As climate change presents a complex and urgent challenge, philanthropic actors are recognised as ‘change agents’ in driving responses. This study explores how Philea, a European network, guides its members' foundations and philanthropic organisations towards greener transitions. Building on the theory of polycentric governance and the concept of environmental philanthropy, this study addresse

Introduction: PARP14 is a member of the PARP superfamily of enzymes, which are responsible for the ADP-ribosylation of target proteins and nucleic acids. The enzyme performs mono-ADP-ribosylation of its targets and is involved in many cellular processes, including DNA repair, cellular differentiation and apoptosis. PARP14 is specifically regarded as a writer, reader, as well as an eraser of ADP-ri

This master thesis was done in collaboration with Assa Abloy Entrance Sys- tems, with the objective to find a standard lift solution for their overhead sectional door 1142. The current solution has a minimum required headroom of 900 mm, which means that there needs to be at least 900 mm between the lowest part of the door and the highest part of the whole structure when the door is open. While th

Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the world. Studying the left ventricular myocardial perfusion using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a validated method to assess and diagnose the disease. Quantitative assessment of perfusion has advantages compared to qualitative evaluation, still, no regulatory approved software exist. In this project, a

Denna uppsats undersöker hur Tysklands och Nederländernas modeller för legalisering och reglering av cannabis förhåller sig till Europeiska unionens regler om den fria rörligheten för varor, särskilt artiklarna 34–36 FEUF. Syftet är att analysera huruvida dessa nationella regelverk är förenliga med unionsrätten samt att identifiera eventuella juridiska risker och möjligheter. Uppsatsen använder räThis thesis examines the compatibility of Germany’s and the Netherlands’ national cannabis legalization models with the EU rules on the free movement of goods, particularly Articles 34–36 of the TFEU. The purpose is to assess the extent to which these national regulations align with EU law and to identify potential legal risks and opportunities. A combination of legal dogmatic and EU-legal methodo

Strategic decision-making (SDM) is a core function of managerial roles, often carried out under pressure, uncertainty, and cognitive limitations. This thesis explores how overconfidence bias affects strategic decision-making in organisational settings. While cognitive biases have been extensively studied in psychology and behavioural economics, the specific impact of overconfidence on business-rel

Skolfrånvaro är ett allvarligt samhällsproblem där forskning tyder på att individer utan fullföljd utbildning löper större risk för arbetslöshet och att utveckla ett kriminellt beteende. För att förebygga denna problematik menar Skolverket i en rapport från 2023 att interprofessionell samverkan utgör en framgångsfaktor. Tidigare forskning har redogjort för hur samverkan vanligtvis betraktas som nå

Particularly, this study aims to deepen the understanding of the phenomena o

The development of the water-borne microbiome in newly installed polyethylene pipes of a non-chlorinated drinking water distribution system was studied over a period of six months. Water samples were taken from two identical newly installed pipes (“NP1”, “NP2”), as well as from a reference point at equal distance (“DS1”). These water samples were filtered and had the DNA extracted using FastDNA SP

The phenomenon of cyclical female mentoring, defined as women’s engagement in same gender mentoring relationships both as a mentee and a mentor, has been underexplored in the mentoring literature. The purpose of this study is thus to understand how women experience cyclical female mentoring, with a specific focus on relational, gender-focused, and learning dimensions. To fulfil this purpose, the s

Sustainability reporting remains a well-established field of research, with many important contributions. Additionally, the public has a growing desire for firms to adopt responsible ESG practices, thus requiring more transparency and accountability. Without the acceptance from the public, the business might face negative consequences. The understanding of how sustainability reporting is disclosed

This thesis investigates model-based electromagnetic comparability (EMC) of an IGBT-based two-level voltage source converter (VSC). The main focus lies on common-mode and differential-mode behaviour through conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI). The study centres around the Active Dynamic Filter P25 developed by Comsys AB, which serves as the converter under test (CUT). Conducted emissions

The importance of Disaster Risk Management (DRM) is growing as global risks increase and more actors implement DRM strategies. However, the unpredictable and complex nature of disasters and other risks makes it difficult to train DRM skills in advance. Serious games, which are games designed for educational purposes, offer a promising way to build these skills by simulating real-world challenges i

Background: The beauty industry has transitioned away from traditional marketing and toward interactive, social media-driven techniques, with firms engaging customers with influencers and user-generated content on platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. While most studies focus on advertisements and influencers, little is known about how average users, particularly young women, interact with beaut

Humanitarian aid workers (HAWs) face increasing risks in conflict zones, with 2024 marking the deadliest year on record. International humanitarian organisations (IHOs) must address this trend to continue delivering aid and protecting HAWs. This study investigates how IHOs adapt to the evolving risks in these contexts and explores challenges that adaptation measures may entail. A qualitative resea

Att göra städer grönare är en central strategi för klimatanpassning i allt varmare urbana miljöer. Många studier undersöker säsongsvariationer i urban fenologi, men det är mycket få av dem som fokuserar på kontinuerliga och dynamiska fenologiska mått. Denna studie analyserar sambandet mellan Plant Phenology Index (PPI) och markytetemperatur (Land Surface Temperature, LST) i Bryssel under år 2022, Urban vegetation is a key strategy for climate adaptation in increasingly dense and warming cities. While some studies look at urban seasonal trends in plant phenology, fewer look at continuous dynamic phenology measures. This study investigates the relationship between the Plant Phenology Index (PPI) and Land Surface Temperature (LST) across Brussels in 2022, using satellites Sentinel-2-derived P

In 2016, after decades of armed conflict, the Colombian government signed a peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People's Army (FARC - EP). Nevertheless, the hopes for peace have not been realised, since violence, assassinations of social leaders, displacement of local communities and environmental degradation still occur. New groups are taking over the areas forme
