The purpose of this paper is to clarify the concept of undertakings to delimit the area of competition law from others. The paper will explore the different definitions of “unde

Climate change is an issue affecting societies worldwide. As temperatures, precipitation patterns, and sea levels change, our buildings and properties are in danger. Therefore, it is crucial for real estate companies to adapt their properties to the effects of climate change as they will be impacted. To help companies make environmentally sustainable economic activities, the European Union has imp

Den svenska avloppsvattenreningsprocessen består av flera olika steg som utnyttjar mekanisk, kemisk och biologisk rening för att avlägsna så mycket av ohälsosamma ämnen och organismer som möjligt från vattenomloppet. Avloppsvattenreningsprocesserna i Sverige saknar specifika reningsmetoder för vissa typer av organiskt material, såsom läkemedelsrester. Dessa mikroföroreningar bryts enbart delvis neThe Swedish wastewater treatment processes consists of multiple steps including mechanical, chemical, and biological cleaning to remove as much of the unhealthy substances and organisms as possible from the water circulation. The wastewater treatment process in Sweden lacks specific removal methods for some types of organic material, such as pharmaceutical residues and other microcontaminants. The

Finite resources and increasing rate of consumption have made efficiency a key component in every energy consuming sector. The building industry, as a major contributor, has been the target of various initiatives and regulations aiming to lower its impact with varying degrees of success. Measurement of this impact has not always been easy, especially for buildings not yet built. Therefore, simulat

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka ChatGPTs förmåga att uppskatta nivåer av depression och ångest. ChatGPT blev genom en prompt instruerad att uppskatta en deltagares nivå av depression och ångest, baserat på deltagarnas svar på öppna frågor om deras symptom de senaste två veckorna. Totalt inkluderade studien ordresponser från 876 deltagare. Uppskattade poäng från ChatGPT jämfördes med dThe aim of this study was to explore the accuracy of ChatGPT’s numeric assessments of depression and anxiety. ChatGPT was prompted to estimate participants’ levels of depression and anxiety using the participants’ responses to an open-ended question about their symptoms during the past two weeks.

This thesis examines what barriers and opportunities exist for public participation in addressing biodiversity loss and adapting to climate change in Swedish biosphere reserves (BRs). This was approached by conducting an instrumental case study of all seven BRs in Sweden, consisting of semi-structured interviews and a case-specific literature review. The results identified that while a significant

In recent years, there has been a surge in attention towards biodegradable polymer films, driven by the growing environmental awareness concerning the harmful effects of petroleumbased plastics. The maize protein zein, a by-product from wet milling processes, has shown potential to work as hydrophobic coating. The aim of this study has therefore been to find the most promising process conditions f

Innovationshöjden för automatiska skjutdörrssystem under de senaste årtionden har resulterat i högteknologiska automatiska skjutdörrar, där tillbehören och användargränssnitten inte har utvecklats i samma utsträckning. Det har lett till att programväljare för skjutdörrar blivit omoderna och svåranvända för användarna. Syftet med denna masteruppsats var att tillsammans med ASSA ABLOY Entrance SysteThe innovation of automatic sliding door systems over the past decades has resulted in high-tech automatic sliding doors, where accessories and user interfaces have not been developed to the same extent. As a result, operating mode selectors for sliding doors has become outdated and difficult for users to operate. The purpose of this master’s thesis was to propose a new design for operating mode s
