Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) is a way of constructing roads with less climate impact. However, the RAP often contain moisture which is known to be disadvantageous for the final product and will at the same time increase the production cost. A manufacturing method that also aims have less impact on the environment is NCC Green Asphalt. The method allows a lower manufacturing temperature than a c
Green entrepreneurship – technological eco–innovations and ecopreneurs’ acts – has recently received much attention from European policymakers as one promising response to the challenges of sustainable economic development due to its potential to catalyze and build a low–carbon or green economy. This topical relationship between green entrepreneurship and sustainable economy has also gained increa
Åtgärder som utförts i Skåne för att minska överskottsnäring i olika vattendrag visar sig kosta olika mycket och även skilja sig i effektivitet. Jag har i detta arbete gått igenom rapporter från skånska vattenorganisationer och drar slutsatsen att den åtgärd som är mest effektiv i skånska vatten (i förhållande till kostnader) är att anlägga dammar. Dammar tar på ett effektivt sätt hand om kväve ocEutrophication continues to be a problem in the freshwaters in Scania of southern Sweden, much due to urban waste water and the large amount of agricultural land in the region. In order to combat this, many different measures have been made to lower the nutrient loading by the region's different water organisations, including the creation of wetlands, ponds and two-step trenches. This study wa
Sand and dust storms (SDS) represent a significant and widespread obstacle to sustainable development, affecting its economic, social, and environmental dimensions. SDS pose severe challenges to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including the eradication of poverty, the achievement of zero hunger, the improvement of health and well-being, the provision of clean water and sani
In 2018, the European Union (EU) adopted a revised version of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED 2). The directive introduced new objectives for the EU’s renewable energy sector and aimed to support the provision of renewable energy in the EU. After its adoption, the directive would be implemented in each EU member state. This thesis analyzes Sweden’s implementation of the RED 2 and applies a the

This thesis is meant to be a simple introduction to the field of the Artificial Neural Networks and a survey of the possibility of using neural networks in fault diagnosis of sand moulding machines manufactured by DISA. The purpose of the survey is to give an indication of the direction the future work should take in order to obtain a sustainable solution for the use of artificial neural networks
SiS särskilda ungdomshem är institutioner där barn och unga i behov av särskild tillsyn placeras, till största del sker detta med stöd av lagen (1990:52) med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). Uppsatsen syftar till att utreda i vilken utsträckning rätten till hälsa enligt artikel 24 i Förenta nationernas konvention om barnets rättigheter (barnkonventionen), är uppfylld för flickor med SiS youth homes are institutions which provides compulsory care for young people with psychosocial problems, with legal support usually found in the act (SFS 1990:52) with special provisions on the care of young people (LVU). The purpose of the thesis is to examine whether the right to health as established in art. 24 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, is respected for girls with men
After many years since the ratification of the Convention of the Right of the Child, it was eventually incorporated into Swedish law in 2020. One of the fundamental articles of the convention is children’s right to participate in matters concerning them. Despite the incorporation, however, participatory methods for children are still lacking in Swedish urban planning processes. Oftentimes, childre
Membrane technology has revolutionized protein recovery in the food industry, beginning with whey protein extraction via ultrafiltration. This success led to its application in concentrating animal proteins like blood plasma, fish proteins, and albumen. As the protein shift towards plant-based sources grows, membrane processes now enable the industrial recovery of wheat, sunflower, and rapeseed pr
This thesis examines the evolution of markups among the largest publicly listed firms in Sweden, represented by the OMXS30 index, during the period surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic from 2018 to 2024. The study assesses whether changes in firms’ pricing power contributed to Sweden’s inflationary and subsequent disinflationary dynamics. Using a microeconomic production function approach developed b
Cement hydration kinetics are controlled by clinker composition, water addition, sulfate availability and fineness. The analytical access to the first hour of hydration is limited. Here a new setup is introduced to record the initial 30-60 minutes of hydration on a routine basis with isothermal calorimetry. Fast isothermal calorimetry is fully quantitative. Reproducibility is reported in terms of
This thesis investigates the possibility of shortening setup times for the hardware testing rigs at BorgWarner’s Landskrona location. All the test rigs in question use the same measurement and control software, NI VeriStand. NI VeriStand is a data acquisition and control software created by National Instruments. This software needs a certain file, a system definition file,to coordinate the communi
The formation of ordered structure, such as crystallites, in starch was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The influence of time/temperature treatment and additives such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and a carbonate buffer on the formation was investigated. The experiments were planned with a CCC (Central Composite Circumscribed) design. For all
We wanted to improve tendon healing by adding a growth factor. Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) are well known to stimulate bone healing and bone formation. The local environment is of major importance for cell differentiation after a BMP has been added. Cartilage Derived Morphogenetic Proteins (CDMPs) -1, -2 and -3 (BMP 14, 13 and 12 or GDF 5, 6 and 7) form a subgroup in the BMP-family and are
An LTE-enabled smartphone is a software-defined radio system that must cover a large number of frequency bands with different duplex differences. A proposed adaptive wideband duplexer needs a circulator to create the required initial isolation. To replace this an LC-based tunable low-isolation device is presented in this paper, providing the required tuning range for LTE Band I, II, III and VII. T
Observations from three case studies of public sector reforms are reported. These observations concern managerial attitudes to personnel resistance, and they reveal how management talks of resistance either as an emotional reaction or as a personality trait with certain employees. Based on these assumptions it is considered legitimate to disregard employee objections. Personnel were invited to the
The decay process in rooms with non-diffuse sound fields was the subject of this investigation. A rectangular room with high absorption at the ceiling and low absorption at the walls and floor constituted the basic configuration for the study. Several alterations of the room were carried out, including changes of room dimensions and the type of ceiling absorber, also additional treatment with abso
