Access to safe drinking water and sanitation is a given standard and considered as basic human rights in urban areas and industrialized countries. However, 40 % of the world's population living in rural areas in developing countries lack access to safe drinking water. Many ongoing projects are focused on providing safe drinking water and sanitation in rural areas, including Hamro Paani. Hamro
Denna kandidatuppsats redogör för hur internationella rekryteringsprocesser spelar roll för en ökad efterfrågan på specialiserad och högutbildad personal i en global marknad. Syftet är att titta på vilket behov den rörliga kompetensen täcker och studien fokuserar på varför företag ägnar sig åt internationell rekrytering. Undersökningen grundar sig på dels intervjuer med respondenter på en svensk s
In recent years, battery energy storage systems (BESS) have gained prominence as a key technology enabling much needed electricity grid flexibility while simultaneously providing distinct value to its end-users. With the anticipated increase of residual value holding used batteries from mobility applications entering the market, more and more companies are looking to construct BESS offers around t
With a deforestation rate of 599,232 ha/year, the Indonesian government is pressured to bootstrap its ecosystem restoration process. The pressure also receives by the private sector to accelerate the process of their decarbonization, with the 2050 net-zero target as the main goal. Consequently, regulation stringency on corporate environmental responsibility and national environmental goals is risi
”Most of Sweden’s surface is covered by forest, 68 percent is woodland; the built-up and landscaped land does not make up more than 3 percent of Sweden’s total land area. About 50% of the forest land is made of pine (Pinus sylvestris), making it the most common tree species in the country’s forests.” In the 70s, a design movement was established in Swedish homes “ Svensk fur”. It was cheap, hones
N-2030 is an autonomous car-sharing interior concept that suggests what we humans could be doing in the future of vehicles. Dead time during travelling opens up new abilities of spending time. N-2030 has a focus point on investigating how people have and are using free time in everyday life. Fully autonomous vehicles opens up an opportunity to break the tradition of what to do in a future car int
Ever growing environmental impact due to human activities has increased efforts globally to tackle the issues by promoting sustainable behavior. Similar efforts are also being made to handle the waste and litter problem of single-use takeaway food packaging. Sweden aims to reduce the impact of takeaway food packaging by introducing a directive to reduce consumption of single-use packaging and repl
Löss-palaeosol-sekvensen (LPS) vid Velika Vrbica är belägen nära Donaus sydvästra strand i västra delen av den valakiska sänkan i Serbien. Sekvensens översta fem meter undersöktes med optiskt stimulerad luminiscensdatering (OSL) på kvarts och med magnetisk susceptibilitet (MS) varpå sedimentackumulationshastigheten (MAR) beräknades. Lagerföljden omfattar två enheter: en holocen jordmån (S0, 70
This thesis investigates how freedom of speech is implemented in a Swedish library context, by examining what actions and practices the concept is translated into at the Dawit Isaak Library in Malmö, a library focused on freedom of speech and banned literature that opened at Malmö City Archive in 2020. The aim of the study is to illuminate and clarify discrepancies between the theoretical definiti
The long-lasting usage of fossil fuels has brought its negative impact on the planet and thus the society is turning towards more environmentally sustainable solutions in every aspect of life. This master’s thesis discusses the novel topic of integrating concentrated solar thermal collectors, which directly produce steam, to drying processes in the food industry, which is proven to currently emit
This bachelor’s thesis is written by Emma Derwinger and Johanna Boman (2023), Division of Fashion Science Studies, Lund University. The study titled “Hellre medveten än hållbar?” aims to analyze and understand the use of traceability within the fashion- and textile industry and how relevant this tool of awareness is for consumers today. Approaching the topic, this paper focuses on an interview wit
The increasing urgency of climate change has raised the need for effective climate policy. The European Union emissions trading system (EU ETS) is the world’s first and largest ‘cap and trade’ policy which aims at reducing carbon dioxide emissions at the most cost-efficient allocation. The iron and steel industry is the largest emitter of carbon dioxide emissions in the Swedish industry sector. Ye
The purpose of this study is to design and investigate a pulsating heat pipe device (PHP). A PHP is a two-phase flow heat transfer device which can handle high heat fluxes with passive internal flow. It is made of a continuous loop serpentine, partially filled with a working fluid that can cool systems, such as electronic devices. It differs from a conventional heat pipe device in design and opera
Most (93%) of the greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector come from road traffic in Sweden which includes passenger and freight transport activity (Trafikverket, 2022). The aim of this thesis was to understand pathways that transport purchasers can pursue to reach the fossil-free transportation goals from manufacturing plant to customer and to develop a process for assessing a market and
Den globala uppvärmningen är ett faktum. Stål är ett material som används i stor utsträckning och kan på grund av dess egenskaper inte alltid bytas ut mot alternativa material. Problemet är att stålindustrin står för en betydande del av Sveriges koldioxidutsläpp. Studiens syfte är att försöka skapa en uppfattning om de klimatvinster som kan göras om traditionellt stål ersätts av fossilfritt st
Mining operations have significant environmental and social impacts, including ecosystem fragmentation, biodiversity loss, pollution, and social issues such as low wages and unsafe working conditions. Despite these negative effects, mining plays a crucial role in the transition to low-carbon technologies and the demand for energy transition minerals is expected to surge. However, the potential per
The end of the Sri Lankan war was marked by a devastating loss of life, with hundreds of thousands of casualties. Amidst this tragedy, victims have claimed that the crimes committed against them constitute genocide, specifically targeting the Eelam Tamils solely because of their ethnic identity. However, denialists argue that there is insufficient evidence to support the presence of genocidal inte
Att med magi försöka locka åt sig ett objekt för sin kärlek är en företeelse som förekommit i många kulturer och Egypten under hellenistisk och romersk tid är inget undantag. Målet med detta arbete är att undersöka just denna typ av magi. För detta ändamål har jag valt att undersöka vad jag anser kan kallas för kärleksbesvärjelser i korpusen Papyri Graecae Magicae (PGM). De typer av texter jag u
I romersk litteratur förekommer en uppsjö av historier i vilka olika typer av andeväsen uppträder. Tre av de sorters andeväsen som dyker upp på ett flertal ställen i romersk litteratur och som kan kopplas till varandra är Manes, Lemures och Larvae. Målet med denna uppsats har varit att få en klarare bild av dessa andeväsens natur samt undersöka deras uppträdande i interaktioner med människor samt
