Scope är ett koncept framtaget av GHG Protocol med syftet att standardisera placeringen och beräkningen av växthusgasutsläpp. Scope har varit indelade i 3 delar som alla avser att placera den negativa påverkan en verksamhet har genom utsläpp. Det finns ännu inte ett sätt att pålitligt placera en positiv påverkan av en verksamhet. Denna studien undersöker det omtalade konceptet scope 4 med syftet aElectronic waste is the fastest growing waste category, seen as a consequence of the industry’s rapid technological advancement. The waste in this industry is problematic due to the inherent heterogenic property of devices, the toxicity of the waste, as well as resource intensive production of the required materials. To decrease this waste and the resource demand in the production of electrical de

Studien analyserar hur psykologer konstruerar “psykos” som ett diskursivt objekt, vilka diskurser som används och vilka subjektspositioner det erbjuder till psykologer. Då kunskap och makt förstås som oskiljaktiga analyseras detta även utifrån begreppet disciplinär makt (Foucault, 1975/2017). Tretton psykologer deltog och metoderna story completion och kvalitativa enkäter utforskades för att generThis study analyses how psychologists construct “psychosis” as a discursive object, which discourses are drawn from and what subject positions this enables for psychologists. Since knowledge and power are considered inextricably linked, this is also analysed with the concept of disciplinary power (Foucault, 1975/2017). Thirteen psychologists were recruited, and the methods of story completion and

Urban development and densification cause noise problems that can have a negative impact on human health. In 2002, the European Union (EU) stated the European Noise Directive (END) with the purpose to evaluate environmental noise levels (including the sources road, railway, and air traffic) in the member states every 5 years. To make the result of the evaluations comparable between countries, the

Forskningsfråga: Vilka investeringskriterier bedömer investeringsansvariga i riskkapitalbolag i en pitch och hur påverkar informationen i pitchen deras beslutsfattande? Syfte: Att undersöka och kontextualisera vilka investeringskriterier riskkapitalister bedömer i de olika nivåerna av en pitch och analysera effekten av informationen som presenteras i pitchen på deras beslutsfattande. Metod: En kResearch question: What investment criteria in a pitch do managers of venture capital firms assess and how does the information presented in the pitch affect their decision-making? Purpose: To examine and contextualize what investment criteria venture capitalists assess in the different levels of a pitch and analyze the effect of the information presented in the pitch on their decision-making. M

Throughout the development of economic history as a discipline, the methodological controversy between histographical investigation and formal theorisation from economics proper, explicit and implicit, has been steadily accentuated since the well-known “battle of methods” (Methodenstreit) in the late 19th century. From the impact of theory to history, which marks the emergence of new economic hist

Studien ämnar att uppfylla två syften där det ska undersökas om hur processen går till för nedskrivningsprövning av goodwill och hur den påverkas av omvärldsfaktorer. För att uppfylla våra syften genomfördes en kvalitativ studie där det hölls intervjuer med elva olika personer som jobbar med nedskrivningsprövningen på tio olika företag. Den teoretiska referensramen består av de bakomliggande stand

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

Due to a combination of changes in the societal view on fire safety along with reconstruction and renovations, the fire rescue services are no longer able to act as an alternative escape route from some buildings in urban parts of large cities. This thesis aims to survey how widespread the problem is, as well as identify and evaluate different solutions. Surveys and interviews were conducted to ev

Segregation är ett pågående och komplext problem i Sverige idag som både påverkar individen och samhället i stort. Hyresrätter är ett attraktivt val för många, som till exempel unga hushåll och utländsk arbetskraft, då det är en bra väg in på bostads- och arbetsmarknaden. Hyresregleringens syfte är att möjliggöra för fler att bo i attraktiva områden och på så sätt leda till en mer rättvis fördelni

The aim of this study was to establish whether or not a development of the complexity of the noun phrase, i.e. an increase in noun phrase elaboration could be observed in written L2 Swedish over time. To provide an insight to said development, three on L2 English previously tested and strongly correlating phrasal complexity measures, MLNP, MNPDep and WNPCx (Bulté 2013), were employed. A fourth mea

Previous numerical investigations have simulated the delamination of paperboard using various mechanical and cohesive models. This has given satisfactory agreement between the simulation results and experimental data when comparing force-depth curves during creasing and moment-angle curves during folding. However, the simulation results are dependent on the user’s definition of the delamination zo

In this thesis we perform error analysis of a nuclear model based on density-functional theory developed in Lund. The Lund model allows us to perform calculations of nuclear spectra more efficiently by constructing a simple effective Hamiltonian reproducing the quadrupole deformation and pairing interaction strength parameters of a spherical Hartree-Fock reference functional. This constraining of

I detta examensarbete undersöker jag hur det demokratiska statsskicket upprätthålls och skyddas i det svenska rättssystemet, samt vilka typer av risker rättssystemet utgör för upprätthållandet av demokratin i Sverige. Nyligen publicerade rapporter från icke-statliga organisationer visar att världen, och Europa, är i en trend av demokratisk tillbakagång. Det är därför dags att utvärdera vilka riskeIn this thesis, I investigate how the democratic form of government is maintained and protected in the Swedish legal system, as well as what kinds of risks the legal system poses to the maintenance of democracy in Sweden. Recent reports from NGOs show that the world, and Europe, are going through a trend of democratic backsliding. Thus, it is timely to evaluate what risks the Swedish system might

This report examines the possibilities of decarbonising operation & maintenance vessels for a prospective floating offshore wind power park at the Utsira Nord site in Norway, through self-sufficient energy carrier production utilizing power-to-X-solutions. Possible alternative fuels are identified as compressed hydrogen, batteries, liquid hydrogen, ammonia, methanol, and biofuels, out of which

This report aims to give insights to the oat processing industry and the effects of kilning and storage. Temperature and relative humidity used during kilning of oat kernels was shown to have a large effect on protein solubility and lipase inactivation. Steaming with saturated steam at 90 ℃ was found to inactivate all lipases, but still leave a relatively high protein solubility. An industrial kil

This thesis examines the perception of hierarchy and how student activists have challenged hierarchy in the youth-led protests through attacking symbols of hierarchy and authority. Hereby, the research is based on in-depth interviews with student activists form Bangkok, linking it to the contemporary and historical development of the Thai social order. The findings are analysed through meaning-mak

Introduction Both M. Supraspinatus and M. Infraspinatus of the rotator cuff play a role in stabilizing the shoulder during movement. When rehabilitating shoulders after injury a wide range of tools are used to strengthen the shoulder, often including a pulley system or TheraBand. According to evidence, no tool does however stand out as the most optimal one to use. Purpose The purpose of this study
