According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations are considered a crucial factor in global warming, particularly in the near term, due to its high warming potential (~ 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide, or CO2) and shorter atmospheric lifetime compared to CO2. CH4 emissions have more than doubled since the industrial revolution and

Denna kandidatuppsats beskriver utvecklingen av en bättre modell för att uppskatta den elektriska styrenhetens, (Electrical Control Unit), ECU-strömmen, i ett Gen VI ställdon, vilket används i moderna fyrhjulsdrivna fordon. Projektet genomfördes i samarbete med BorgWarner och är baserat på laboratorietester och elektriska simuleringar. Målet med modellen är att förbättra hur exakt ECU-strömmen uppThis bachelor's thesis describes the development of a better model to estimate the Electrical Control Unit, ECU current in a Gen VI actuator, which is used in modern all-wheel-drive vehicles. The project was done in collaboration with BorgWarner and is based on lab tests and electrical simulations. The goal of the model is to improve how accurately the ECU current is estimated. This is importa

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka effekterna av flotation-REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy, en sensoriskt reducerad avslappningsmetod) jämfört med passiv vila med lugnande musik på den subjektiva upplevelsen av fysisk ansträngning, mätt direkt efter högintensiv fysisk aktivitet. Fyrtiofyra deltagare (18 idrottare och 26 icke-idrottare) genomgick båda återhämtningsmetodernThis study aimed to examine the effects of flotation-REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Therapy) as sensory-reduced relaxation method in comparison to passive rest with relaxing music, on the subjective experience of perceived physical exertion measured immediately after high-intensity exercise. Forty-four participants (18 athletes and 26 non-athletes) experienced both recovery methods in

Carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) is set to play a key role in decarbonization. Most of the technologies are yet to be seen on commercial scale. Denmark is in the process of establishing some of the first large-scale CCUS value-chains. Through a combination of document analysis and interviews, I study the ideas driving the current roll-out of CCUS in Denmark. To do this, I make use of

Mikrovågor på fotonnivå: Absorption och emission i kvantprickar I framtidens kvantsystem krävs teknik som kan detektera och generera extremt svaga ljussignaler. Här undersöker vi hur starkare interaktion mellan ljus (mikrovågsfotoner) och materia (elektroner) påverkar förmågan att effektivt detektera och generera sådana svaga ljussignaler. Kvantteknik är ett nytt spännande forskningsfält där detQuantum devices often operate with extremely weak microwave signals, necessitating highly efficient methods for microwave photon detection and emission. In this thesis, we investigate a device consisting of an InAs nanowire double quantum dot (DQD) coupled to a high impedance (2kΩ) SQUID array resonator. A high resonator impedance is expected to enhance the light-matter interactions between the re

This study examines the 1988 criminalization of personal drug use in Sweden by analyzing the developments in youth drug use between 1971 and 2024 and drug-related mortality between 1969 and 2017. Using a descriptive time-series approach and indexed graphs, it explores how these two indicators developed over time and whether their trajectories reflect the policy’s stated aim of reducing both use an

A case study of Ukrainian backlash towards Amnesty International’s report that raises a higher question of decentralization of communication in international NGOs The study contributes to the application and development of crisis communication response strategies during major communication scandals. It focuses on global NGOs with localized international representation. Local branches are identifi

This thesis takes Pop Mart as a representative to study how emerging Chinese brands participate in the construction of global identity through visual and emotional narratives. Under the guidance of postcolonial theory, this study analyzes how Pop Mart strikes a balance between cultural expression and global appeal by designing hybrid characters that integrate East Asian aesthetics with global visu

Access to reliable and affordable electricity remains a significant challenge in many rural regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. This thesis presents a feasibility study for the implementation of a solar-powered mini-grid in Linga Linga, a rural village in the Inhambane province of Mozambique. Conducted in collaboration with the non-governmental organization Project Vita, the study focuses on Section B

This thesis explores how operations-intensive organizations in logistics, manufacturing, and mining perceive Green Information Systems (Green IS) as tools to align profitability with envi-ronmental sustainability. Using a qualitative, interpretivist methodology, the study draws on semi-structured interviews with senior professionals within operations to examine how deci-sion-makers evaluate the st

This study focuses on the perception of Nordic brands by Chinese consumers in the context of cross-cultural brand communication, with an emphasis on the influence of the country-of-origin (COO) effect and consumer ethnocentrism on brand attitude and purchase intention. The research adopts quantitative methods, through online questionnaire surveys. Consumers’ responses from new first-tier, first-ti

Driven by heightened Swedish consumer awareness and demand for verifiable information on food safety, ethics, and sustainability, this thesis empirically investigates how specific transparency attributes, presented via Information Systems (IS), influence trust and purchase decisions, aiming to bridge persistent information asymmetry in supply chains. Employing qualitative methods, including semi-s

Businesses today face significant challenges in sustaining themselves amidst intense competitive pressures. In this context, strategic positioning and differentiation strategies are fundamental for companies seeking to set themselves apart and gain a competitive edge. This study focuses on how consumer brands in highly competitive markets, leverage these strategies to achieve a Sustainable Competi

This thesis project explores the relationship between architecture and nature, with a focus on framing views, capturing the landscape and engaging with our senses. The main building consists of a sensory sauna that allows visitors to feel connected to the surrounding nature while being sheltered from the harsh climate.
