Denna studie undersöker hur kvinno-, tjej- och transjourer organiserar och upprätthåller sina verksamheter i relation till statliga bidragssystem, administrativa krav och föreställningar om värde. Studien bygger på kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer med åtta personer verksamma inom olika jourorganisationer i Sverige. Materialet analyserades genom tematisk analys med utgångspunkt i teorier om

The construction and real estate sector is a major contributor to global carbon emissions and climate change. Ventilation systems, although essential for maintaining indoor air quality and occupant health, account for a significant share of building operational emissions. In HVAC systems, duct layouts significantly influence ventilation impacts through both the embodied carbon from material produc

Abstract: To meet the future demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly “green” chemical cleaning solutions for rust removal from naturally oxidized iron alloys, this study showed how an optimized DES (Deep Eutectic Solvents) can enhance descaling performance. A series of experiments were conducted using different combinations of acetic acid, malonic acid, and choline chloride in aqueous

Introduction: Dietary macronutrient composition, specifically the intake of meals enriched in carbohydrates, fats, protein or fibre, triggers distinct postprandial metabolic responses but whether these responses vary significantly based on an individual’s glycaemic status: type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or normoglycaemia (ND) remains an open question. Background: Metabolomic and

Syfte & mål: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur byggnadsdelar ska projekteras för att möjliggöra framtida demontering och återbruk utan bearbetning. Studien syftar till att öka kunskapen om demonteringens utveckling för hela byggnadsdelar. Målet är att identifiera tekniska lösningar som skapar förutsättningar för en effektiv demontering. Genom att analysera ett antal byggnadsdelar är måleAim & goal: The aim of the study is to investigate how building components should be designed to enable future disassembly and reuse without processing. The study aims to increase knowledge about the development of disassembly for entire building components. The goal is to identify technical solutions that create the conditions for efficient disassembly. By analysing several building component

As intermittent faults in distribution grids continue to cause unplanned outages, grid owners face increasing challenges related to reliability, restoration times, and maintenance planning. These challenges not only affect customers but also result in higher operational costs and resource demands for grid operators. The purpose of this thesis is to develop methods for proactive fault management b

α-CGRP 8-37 is a peptide fragment of calcitonin gene-related peptide and is commonly used as a CGRP antagonist in pharmacological research. CGRP signaling has been discussed in relation to neuroimmune mechanisms in psoriasis, but a practical development of α-CGRP 8-37 requires analytical methods and formulation strategies that can handle peptide instability, adsorption, and matrix effects. The aim

Immaterialrätten använder sig av fiktiva figurer antingen uttryckligen eller indirekt för att skapa objektiva bedömningar på respektive immaterialrättsliga område. Uppsatsen riktar in sig på vilken funktion de fiktiva figurerna genomsnittskonsumenten inom varumärkesrätten och den kunnige användaren inom mönsterrätten har vid bedömning av skyddsförutsättningarna och intrång. Med betoning på rättsprIntellectual property use the fictional persons either direct or indirect to create objetive judgments in legal protection requirements and infringement in all areas of intellectual property law. This thesis examines on the function of the fictional persons, the average consumer in trademark law and the informed user in design protection law, to assessing the conditions for protection and in the e

Stockout delay is an important component of lead time calculations in inventory control literature. This thesis presents a deep dive into the topic through a literature review, which is accompanied by a numerical study. This numerical study provides a comparison of available models along with a simulation model that looks at two different order fulfillment types: complete and partial. Based on the

With increasing pressures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, heavy-duty freight is moving to electrification, but this shift remains challenging due to high energy demand, long operating hours, strict delivery schedules, and limited tolerance for charging downtime. This thesis examines whether battery swapping combined with Battery-as-a-Service can contribute to the sustainability transition of h

Abstract Global industrial providers increasingly recognize the aftermarket as a significant source of untapped value, yet many remain challenged in the pursuit of capturing it. This research examines a global medical simulation provider where the absence of strategic segmentation between primary product flows and the distribution of spare parts has produced persistent operational misalignment. Le

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are becoming an important regulatory and tech-nical concern for the pharmaceutical industry due to their high environmental persistence, po-tential health risks, broad use across many industrial production fields and growing pressure for their regulation in consumer products. The pharmaceutical industry is particularly at risk for PFAS, due to their stric

Detta examensarbete undersöker hur resenärernas upplevda trygghet påverkas när tåg passerar järnvägsplattformar i hög hastighet utan att stanna. Arbetet utgår från att järnvägen används mer intensivt än tidigare, vilket skapar fler situationer där resenärer väntar på plattformar samtidigt som andra tåg passerar. Fokus ligger på samspelet mellan plattformens fysiska miljö, tågets passage och resenäThis thesis examines how passengers’ perceived safety is affected when trains pass railway platforms at high speed without stopping. The study is based on the fact that the railway is used more intensively than before, creating more situations where passengers wait on platforms while other trains pass. The focus is on the interaction between the physical platform environment, the train passage and

Introduktion: Biokol från träpellets analyserades med BET-metoden för att undersöka hur pyrolystemperatur påverkar den specifika ytarean samt hur reproducerbar analysen är. Bakgrund: BET-analys används ofta för att bestämma specifik ytarea hos biokol, men resultaten påverkas starkt av faktorer såsom partikelstorlek, avgasning och materialets heterogenitet. För biokol saknas ofta standardiserade an

The seminal microbiome remains undercharacterised despite its potential role as a microbial reservoir influencing female partner reproductive health. This study applied Oxford Nanopore full-length 16S rRNA sequencing (V1–V9) with EMU v3.6.1 classification to characterise the seminal microbiome of 288 men enrolled in the couple-based Copenhagen Pregnancy Loss cohort. The seminal community was polym

Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) is a powerful formalism for the time-scale analysis of vibration signals from rotating machinery. However, its performance is often compromised by complex parameter configuration, where subjective manual tuning leads to mode mixing or information loss. In this study, we present a physics-guided framework that generalizes VMD optimization across diverse operatin

This article presents a comprehensive review of conspicuous consumption research by examining its past and present to project its future. Drawing on a systematic review of 955 articles on conspicuous consumption, we trace how the field has progressed from its origins in economics to a multidisciplinary domain spanning psychology and marketing. This evolution has led to diverse interpretations of c

The capacity of nutrient-limited forests to enhance carbon (C) sequestration under elevated CO2 (eCO2) remains a critical uncertainty in C cycle modeling. While existing evidence suggests that low phosphorus (P) bioavailability may constrain CO2 fertilization effects on plant growth, the extent to which this limitation modulates ecosystem responses to eCO2 in forests adapted to P-deficient soils r
