This thesis focuses on the concept “sustainable consumption” and how it is conceptually constructed by Swedish secondhand actors, specifically non-profit actors who actively engage in the resale of clothing. Our current excessive overconsumption of fashion and pressing need to shift to a more sustainable mode of consumption requires us to critically assess the definition of our sustainability idea
Previous epidemiologic studies found inconsistent associations between vegetables and fruit consumption and the risk of bladder cancer. We therefore investigated the association between vegetable and fruit consumption and the risk of bladder cancer among participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study. Data on food consumption and complete follow-up fo
Water for Injection (WFI) is a critical utility in pharmaceutical manufacturing, traditionally produced through an energy-intensive distillation process. This thesis investigates the feasibility of a more sustainable alternative, ambient WFI production using membrane-based purification technologies combined with ozonation in the storage and distribution loop. Conducted in collaboration with AstraZ
Rare earth elements are strategic commodities in many countries, and an important resource for the growing modern technology industry. As such, there is an increasing interest for development of rare earth element processing, and this work is a part of further development of chromatography as a rare earth element separation process method.

With global efforts in reducing energy consumption, house manufacturers are seeking use of new materials and design solutions. However, some believe this will increase the risk of mould. One way to assess the mould risk is to use a hygrothermal software for simulating the climate envelopes’ moisture performance. But as with all simulation, the quality of the output can never be better than the qua
Many retail chains believe that the personal service encounter is the solution to declining sales figures. Via a large-scale study of Swedish fashion consumers, we demonstrate, that this may not necessarily be the case. We argue that retailers can potentially save money and convert more customers by providing a more automated journey, which includes self-service technologies, for some customers, a
Ethical and legal questions of robotic personalisation can be addressed in various ways. While seeking to theorise on ethical issues related to robotic personalisation, this paper proposes the concept of necrorobotics in order to target a particular space of personalisation, governed by a variety of norms: death, and the reuse of dead persons data to create robotic agency. Based on recent advancem
Environmental deterioration led by global warming is accelerating, and low-carbon development has become a global consensus. China, as the world's largest developing country, has also responded to low-carbon development and proposed a "30.60" dual-carbon target aimed at reducing carbon emissions. At the same time, the third industrial revolution oriented by information and communicat
Domestic workers are an essential part of Vietnam’s urban labour market. However, many are in informal employment, which means they lack needed legal and social protections. In 2014, legal protections were introduced to formalise domestic work in Vietnam. This study aims to increase understanding of the formalisation process of domestic workers in Vietnam. A framework that conceptualises formalisa

Test application and test design, performed to ensure the production of fault-free chips, are becoming complicated and very expensive, especially in the case of SoCs (System-on-Chip), as the number of possible faults in a chip is increasing dramatically due to the technology development. It is therefore important to take test design into consideration as early as possible in the SoC design-flow in
Background: Growing evidence suggests intergenerational effects of paternal pre-conceptional smoking through the germ line, but its specific impact on offspring semen quality remains uncertain because of challenges in isolating paternal exposure from maternal passive smoking or underreporting. Methods: We reran previous analyses estimating differences in semen parameters and testicular size accord
This article argues that there is a discrepancy between the perception of social realities held by professionals of welfare (school teachers and social workers) in Sweden and the social realities of migrants, especially migrants depending on social assistance. The views held by professionals are rooted in an old model of social integration within the framework of the nation-state. This perception

When it comes to determining the jurisdictional reach of VAT, two principles are used by the OECD, EU policy makers and scholars, namely, the origin principle and the destination principle. These principles can mean different things. One problem is that different constructions thereof can result in confusion in the communication between legal actors and, more importantly – in different legal outco
Sustainability is discussed in literature as complex, ambiguous, and partly contradictory, which makes it difficult for store personnel to fully grasp what can be classified as sustainable and how sustainability can be staged and represented in the retail grocery environment.

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the limited literature on sustainable consumption in Vietnam with a focus on the young urban consumer. Sustainable consumption is an important area to focus on as Vietnam is an emerging economy with a young population where consumption is increasing and where the young and fast-growing labor market underpins their economic prosperity. Vietnam is also e
Förenta nationernas klimatpanel (IPCC) uppmuntrar till djup och snabb omvandling inom varje ekonomisk sektor för att förebygga eskalerande klimatförändringar. I detta sammanhang har en offentlig och politisk debatt om luftfart som en stor källa till koldioxidutsläpp uppstått i Sverige med ökande antal människor som förklarar att de ”håller sig på jorden”. Trots att forskning har undersökt motivatiThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is encouraging profound and rapid transformation in every economic sector to mitigate escalating climate change. In this context, a public and political debate about aviation as a high-carbon source has emerged in Sweden with growing numbers of people declaring that they are “staying on the ground”. Despite increased research that explores the motivati
