Textilindustrin använder stora mängder råvaror, vatten och energi, samtidigt som stora mängder textilier varje år blir till avfall. En stor del av dessa material återvinns inte till nya kemiska produkter, utan går i stället till förbränning eller deponi. För att minska resursförbrukningen och öka cirkulariteten behövs därför nya metoder som kan använda textilavfall som råvara. I detta kandidatarbeThe textile industry is one of the world’s most polluting industries and generates large amounts of waste due to increasing consumption and short product lifetimes. At the same time, a significant fraction of textile waste consists of cellulose-based materials such as viscose, making textile waste a potential renewable carbon source for the production of bio-based chemicals. In this study, a multi

Steam and water chemistry is fundamental for most power generation on indus trial scale. This includes the dosing of chemicals, the monitoring of both water and steam, as well as understanding the underlying causes to diagnose eventual problems. Öresundsverket, which was designed for seasonal operation, now has to perform multiple starts per year and in meeting these demands there is a possi bilit

At Dagsmosse in south-central Sweden, evidence from well-preserved Mesolithic wetland sites (10,200–7000 cal a BP) demonstrates occupation continuity among Hunter-Gatherer-Fisher (HGF) communities in wetland areas. This study presents detailed environmental reconstructions of the Dagsmosse basin, where Mesolithic fishing and dwelling activities were recorded. Focusing on the Preboreal–Boreal biozo

The concept of “vulnerable plaque” (VP) has been evolving since its introduction as an atherosclerotic plaque prone to cause cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Once defined as a thin-cap fibroatheroma prone to rupture, it now encompasses more atherosclerotic lesion types, including plaque erosion, fissure, and calcified nodules. Along with deeper understanding of plaq

The built environment faces a growing functional mismatch in which a persistent affordable housing shortage coincides with rising office vacancy rates. In this context, adaptive reuse is approached in this thesis not only as a strategy for reassigning underused space, but as a building physics and building performance challenge tied to changing the use of existing buildings. The overall objective

In recent years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has faced mounting resistance from regressive political forces seeking to undermine its hard-won normative gains. This Open Access book offers a timely and rigorous examination of this global backlash, providing both theoretical innovation and empirical depth.Bringing together leading scholars and practitioners, the volume introduces a no

This book calls for a paradigm shift in education through Transformative- Emancipatory Pedagogy (TEP), a dynamic approach rooted in humanistic, humanizing, and decolonial philosophies. TEP promotes holistic, relational, and experiential learning to support both personal and societal transformation. More than a framework for inclusion, it reimagines education as a space for justice oriented inquiry

This open access book investigates human-environment relations in the context of the anthropocenic Arctic. Through an archaeological and anthropological study of landscape, it wields “weirding” – a creative mode of engagement with the world – as a means of coming to terms with the stranger, experiential dimensions of a planet populated by diverse non-human entities often bearing monstrous characte

The kagome lattice is an intriguing and rich platform for discovering, tuning and understanding the diverse phases of quantum matter, crucial for advancing modern and future electronics. Despite considerable efforts, accessing correlated phases at room temperature has been challenging. Using single-crystal X-ray diffraction, we discovered charge order above room temperature in La(Ru1−xFex)3Si2 (x

The breaking of time-reversal symmetry (TRS) in the normal state of kagome superconductors AV3Sb5 stands out as a significant feature, but its tunability is unexplored. Using low-energy muon spin rotation and local field numerical analysis, we study TRS breaking as a function of depth in single crystals of RbV3Sb5 (with charge order) and Cs(V0.86Ta0.14)3Sb5 (without charge order). In the bulk of R

Abstract in FrenchL’architecture éminente scandinave à la fin du Moyen-Âge sur terre et en mer. Une étude spatiale du château de Glimmingehus et du navire de guerre Gribshunden Par MARTIN HANSSON et BRENDAN FOLEYCe papier compare l’utilisation sociale de l’espace dans les châteaux et les navires de guerre à la fin du Moyen-Âge. Les principales études de cas utilisées sont le château de GlimmingehuTHIS PAPER COMPARES THE SOCIAL USE OF SPACE in late-medieval castles and warships. The main case studies used are the noble castle of Glimmingehus in present-day Sweden, built 1499 to 1505, and the royal warship Gribshunden, in use from the mid-1480s until its sinking in 1495; we also refer to the later and fully excavated warships Mary Rose and Vasa. Both castles and warships are examples of elit

Gaining a deeper understanding of the interplay between charge density wave (CDW) order and superconductivity in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), particularly within the (4H/2H)-NbX2 (X=Se and S) family, remains an open and intriguing challenge. A systematic microscopic study across various compounds in this family is therefore required to unravel this complex interplay. Here, we report on

In this work, we present an actors-to-hardware design flow where applications are described as networks of actors and compiled to hardware. Specifically, we use the CAL actor language to describe these applications. CAL has previously been used to specify applications such as the MPEG-RVC decoder and is well suited for compilation to hardware. A key limitation of CAL is that the applications descr

We investigate the temperature-dependent resistive switching behavior of single-layer ITO/HfO₂/TiN resistive random access memory devices down to 10K. Devices formed at room temperature exhibit abrupt, Joule-heating-assisted RESET transitions that evolve into gradual, field-driven processes upon cooling. We found that the RESET voltage increases steadily with decreasing temperature, while the memo

For developing and implementing innovations that improve a firm's environmental performance ('eco-innovation'), external knowledge and technologies, and hence the openness of a firm, are crucial. This paper analyses the factors that drive eco-innovation in firms, drawing special attention to the firm's ability to implement new ways of working within the organisation ('workplace innovation'). Based

In this work we introduce the concept of natural ageing via precipitation arising from eutectic cell structure (PEC-ageing). Natural age-strengthening in grey cast iron at room temperature is long recognised yet still poorly understood, despite its beneficial effect on tensile strength and machinability. We investigate its underlying mechanisms by comparing fresh and naturally aged industrial grey

Time constants in spiking neural networks (SNNs) are crucial for determining performance. While prior work shows that learning time constants can improve accuracy, it typically assumes near-optimal initial values and rarely examines recovery from poor initializations. We systematically study how membrane and synaptic time constants affect SNN performance using multiple training strategies. Our res
