The average Swede uses 140 liters of water everyday. This combined with the usage in industry means that Swedish municipal water treatment plants produce approximately 900 billion liters of clean and safe drinking water every year. This does not include the fact that all water flowing to a treatment plant needs to be treated before being sent back out into the environment. These facts hint at what

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) is a promising power storage solution for the challenges succeeding the Swedish renewable energy transition. Although, it is a niche innovation facing obstacles such as inadequate infrastructure, uncertainties of battery degradation and a lack of appropriate standards, which hinders its development. This thesis explores the business case for V2X for X Shore’s electric b

The primary purpose of this study is to examine how the market contributes in creating the ethical consumption gap to serve the underlying structures in which predicates and benefits from the gap. Consequently, the research seeks to add to current theoretical understanding in the field. The study draws on an ontological relativism position, accompanied by a social constructionist view. Moreover, t

The goal of this thesis was to explore the conversion of a propeller driven two-seater combustion airplane to an electrical airplane. Four different wing designs were considered. Two variations of Blackwing Sweden AB’s current Blackwing wing (BW), a longer wing (BW-L) and a shorter wing (BW-S), as well as a new wing with a different airfoil (GW). Using Computational Fluid Dynamics the wings were m

The relationship between inequality and conflict has been widely studied in the literature, finding non-significant results. However, the availability of new statistical software and geographical databases has boosted new literature on the topic, focusing on the regional level. Mozambique is now suffering a wave of conflicts whose causes seem varied. Using a negative-inflated binomial regression a

Bakgrund: Vid operationer i bäckenet finns det en risk för att sexualiteten blir påverkad. Utifrån kvinnans tidigare erfarenheter, normer och kultur kan synen på sexualitet te sig olika vilket ställer krav på sjuksköterskans roll i att bemöta kvinnan i de sexuella frågorna. Syfte: Denna rapport syftar till att belysa kvinnors upplevelse av sexualitet efter icke-malign hysterektomi. Metod: Litt

Background Dietary intervention is an effective way to prevent pandemic non-communicable diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes which can probably raise the risk of depression and Alzheimer's disease. Although considerable numbers of intervention studies focus on metabolic effects and physiological benefits of the intake of plant lipids, the function in appetite, mood, and cognition modu

As people develop different identities throughout their lifespan, unparalleled challenges such as climate change and COVID-19 and the great tendency to adapt to more sustainable life have encouraged them to opt for types of identities that are more suitable to overcome such challenges. Identities based on purchasing products and services for self-consumption have become less attractive, an inactiv

A lot of time and care have been put into exploring and explaining the power relations between nurses and nursing assistants, the emotional investment appropriate in care work, different views on leisure time for staff in this context (Warming, 2019; Habel, 2021; Jervis, 2002; Crocker, 2019). Less work has been done in exploring the complex relationships care workers have with their patients and h

Studiens syfte var att undersöka det gröna gapet mellan konsumenternas attityd och beteende när det kommer till köp av kläder. Resultatet visade att ett gap förekommer mellan konsumenters attityd och beteende när det kommer till köp av mer hållbara klädesplagg. Med andra ord, attityden skiljer sig från deras faktiska köpbeteende. Dessutom undersöktes vilka faktorer som hindrar konsumenter från grö

In this thesis, pp collisions were simulated using PYTHIA. D+ D- and D0 D0bar balance functions were created in order to contribute with a reference point for future balance functions measured in real data from Pb-Pb collisions. Charm balance functions are important since the charm quark can act as a probe of the QGP, probing the first instances after a collision. The balance functions were create

Hur kan Helsingborgs kommun bidra till de omställningarna som krävs för att lyckas tackla klimatförändringarna? En lösning är att ta hjälp av naturen, så kallade naturbaserade lösningar (nature-based solutions, NBS). Dessa har förmåga att ta upp koldioxid från atmosfären och binda det som kol i marken. Dessutom bidrar NBS till andra fördelar, såsom biologisk mångfald och mänskligt välbefinnande. TThe ongoing climate change, caused by anthropogenic emissions, are making humans adapt to a new status quo, but focus should also be on mitigating climate change. One possible solution for this is to use the natures’ ability to sequestrate carbon from the atmosphere. To do this, it is necessary to gain knowledge about the current situation regarding land cover and the capacity to store in differen

Policymakers are increasingly demanding that their investments in research and knowledge production should yield returns. The interest of evaluating the societal impact of research has grown rapidly as research funders request evidence that their investments lead to public benefits. This thesis is a study of how the Research Council of Norway has operationalized such demands into new evaluation pr

Förevarande uppsats analyserar utvecklingen av doktrinen om ’essential facilities’ i EU rättspraxis under Artikel 102 TFEU och vidare, i vilken utsträckning kan leveransvägran, särskilt doktrinen om ’essential facilities’ vara applicerbar på data och hur relaterar de fundamentala rättigheterna (näringsfrihet och rätt till egendom) till sådan tillämpning. Analysen av utvecklingen i rättspraxis, säThe thesis examines the development of essential facilities doctrine in EU case law under Article 102 TFEU and further, to what extent can refusal to supply, in particular the essential facilities doctrine, be applicable to data and how do fundamental rights (the freedom to conduct business and the right to property) relate to such extension. The analysis of the development of the case law, espe

This study examines the differing structures of night-time governance organisations observed in Western cities. The study notes that previous research lacks clarification as to the structural differences of night-time governance organisations and further lacks the inclusion of how stakeholders are addressed. Therefore, this study aims to clarify and identify how these different structures address

Prosocial behavior is important for building a harmonious society, while acting prosocially is also regarded as beneficial for mental wellbeing. To explore the potential underlying mechanism of promoting prosocial behavior, the present study investigates if psychological capital and empathy mediate a proposed relationship between perceived social support and prosocial behavior. The final sample co

This thesis investigates how corporate diversification strategies are justified and hones in on the theoretical disagreement between two prominent diversification justification models: Porter’s Essential Tests and The Parenting Advantage Framework. The models aim to provide the same utility, namely to ascertain whether a corporate diversification effort will create or destroy shareholder value, ho

This paper investigates the last two months of the Vietnam War, March and April 1975, from the CIA:s perspective. During the last two decades, the CIA have declassified many documents about the Vietnam war, thus making new source material available. The withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan and the subsequent Taliban conquest, has also sparked a renewed interest in the Vietnam war. Hence,
