The shortage of Earth’s limited resources is becoming more evident and our planet’s climate system is under immense pressure. To combat these problems, more people investigate the concept of circularity. This study intended to find out what make consumers motivated to buy used items from a professional refurbisher, thereby replacing purchases of brand-new products, and also identifying barriers.
The ambition to move road transport from fossil fuels to electric energy is a large undertaking. One of the biggest challenges with making the trucks fully electric is to charge them. They are usually operated daytime, and the operations gives very little time for charging resulting in the power needed for daytime charging being in the high 100s of kW. A desired system implemented at the terminal
Svenska gymnasieskolan har under de senaste decennierna genomgått ett antal reformer som har gjort det lättare för friskolor att etablera sig samt givit elever möjlighet att fritt välja och byta skola. Detta, kombinerat med en minskning av antalet gymnasieelever, har lett till en konkurrenssituation där skolorna måste marknadsföra sig för att vinna elever. Skolan har under de senaste decennierna b
Ecosystem services (ES) is an up-and-coming concept which refers to benefits humanity gets from functions provided by natural systems. Investigating how cities have embraced the ES concept within their urban planning is important in order to be able to assess the awareness of human dependence of nature’s functions and the potential of the ES concept to increase this awareness. In this study, plann
Nationalräkenskaperna, och särskilt BNP, används idag ofta som ett mått på välfärd och välmående i samhället. Dock, i verkligheten är dessa mått inte ämnade att mäta välfärd och även när det gäller att mäta produktion finns det oftast stora problem. Utöver detta uppträder det ofta problem när man ska jämföra nationalräkenskaperna mellan länder eller olika tidsperioder. Under den tidsperiod jag anThe national accounts, and specifically GDP, are often taken as a measure of welfare and increased wellbeing in society. However, in reality these measures are not created for measuring welfare, and even in measuring productions there are often significant problems. Furthermore, problems arise when we try to compare national accounts between countries, or between different periods. During the dec
This bachelor thesis endeavors to promote a sustainable development and sustainable construction in Sweden. The purpose is to investigate the possibilities for a supplement to the environmentally certificate of a building, as a concept focused on environmentally conscious choices of building products and materials, based on a strategy named BATNEEC. This is analyzed by responding to six questions
I det här examensarbetet har effekterna av att tillsätta nanopartiklar till konventionella flamskyddsmedel studerats. Huvuddelen av arbetet har utförts på Saab Barracuda AB (Barracuda), Gamleby, och delar av arbetet har utförts på Totalförsvarets forskningsintitut (FOI) och Exova, båda i Linköping, samt Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH), Lund. Arbetet fokuserar på att utreda om tillsatsen av specifikaIn this master thesis the effects of adding nanoparticles to conventional flame retardants has been examined. The main part of the work has been carried out at Saab Barracuda AB (Barracuda) in Gamleby, and part of the work has been carried out at the Swedish Defense Research Agency (FOI) and Exova, both in Linköping, as well as The Faculty of Engineering in Lund. The work focuses on whether the ad
Purpose. The survival rate in the Fashion Industry (FI) is dramatically low and the reasons remain unclear. This research aims to identify the main challenges that the fashion entrepreneur faces when entering the FI and how relevant these are through the fashion start-up process. Methodology. Qualitative and comparative multi-case study. The research structures the relevant peculiarities, that pr

Autoimmune diseases are complex and characterized by the loss of self-tolerance to self-antigens, leading to an immune attack on target tissues of the body. Psoriasis (Ps) and psoriasis arthritis (PsA) are poorly understood autoimmune diseases with unknown genetic and environmental sources. It has been previously demonstrated that a single intra peritoneal injection of mannan induces an acute infl
We propose and implement a beyond Gross-Pitaevskii approach based on Many-Body Perturbation theory (MBPT) for the study of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BECs) ground states. Two partitions of the system Hamiltonian are considered. Firstly, a bosonic analogue to Møller-Plesset simply dubbed RSPT, and secondly an approach based on the Epstein-Nesbet partitioning scheme labeled ENPT. We consider one-dime
Hög energieffektivitet och god fordonsdynamik är två av de viktigaste fokusområdena för drivsystem i personbilar. En central komponent i BorgWarner:s produkter för momentöverföring är en lamellkoppling som regleras med hjälp av trycksatt olja från en hydraulisk axialkolvpump. Ett alternativ för att reducera energiförbrukningen och samtidigt förbättra pumpens prestanda är att variera pumpens deplacEnergy efficiency and good vehicle dynamics are two of the main focus areas for passenger car drive systems. A central component in BorgWarner’s torque transfer products is a multi-plate clutch which is actuated by pressurized oil from a hydraulic axial-piston pump. One way to reduce the energy consumption and improve the performance of the pump is to let the displacement of the pump vary dependin
The engineers at Westinghouse Electric Company have developed a new nuclear fuel design called TRITON11™, which will be used in Boiling Water Reactors (BWR). This project has been to develop a test program and an assembly fixture for TRITON11™. The test program can not be fully presented in this repport due to confidentiality. The test program is for the first scoping test that will be performed o
Denna rapport beskriver arbetet med att ta fram en landseglare i samarbete med konsultföretaget Semcon. Företaget vill kunna använda produkten på mässor och events, därför ska produkten ska utstråla Semcons värdeord, vilka är ”Responsibility, Credibility, Excellence”. Målet med arbetet är att skapa en landseglare som är mera portabel och enklare att montera jämfört med befintliga på marknaden, menThis report describes the development of a land sailer together with the consulting company Semcon. The company wants to use the product at fairs and internal events, therefore shall the product reflect Semcons core values, which are “Responsibility, Credibility, Excellence”. The aim with the development is to create a land sailer which is more portable and easier to assemble compared to existing
Agriculture is an essential economic activity which sustains the livelihood of millions of people around the world. Maize is one of the most grown, consumed and traded cereals in the world mostly because of its adaptability to varied environmental conditions. Maize farming depends on climatic factors like temperature, rainfall and radiation to thrive but this also means that it is very susceptible
This thesis investigates the Swedish media’s reporting on the VW emission scandal that took place in the fall of 2015. By using a qualitative approach data was collected from three of Sweden’s largest newspapers; Aftonbladet, Expressen and Dagens Nyheter and processed with analytic tools and content analysis inspired by CDA. The aim of this study is to gain a fundamental understanding of the dynam
This Bachelor thesis aim to increase the understanding of expressions of hate, hatred and vitriol on the Internet, in other words cyber bullying. Furthermore the study aims to increase the understanding of how the phenomenon is spread. The essay focus to embody the question of the liability issue within the phenomenon and how it can be prevented by strategic communication. Based on previous resear
Theories on discourse accessibility and givenness suggest that nominal discourse entities vary with regard to how likely they are to act as antecedents to anaphoric expressions. Many factors are thought to affect the accessibility of a nominal entity in the mental model, including its morphosyntactic form and grammatical role. Moreover, previous research has shown that reflexive pronouns can be il
