In this thesis the Plantfacts database is investigated, which contains data about steel plants from all over the world. The purpose is to evaluate wheter there is a coupling between primary and secondary steel and different types of steel plants in downstream processes. To achieve this, the database has been reformatted using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) in Excel. Initially, the Plantfacts

The structural properties in the ground and the excited states of the hexa-coordinated iron carbene molecule FeIII(phtmeimb)2PF6 were investigated by ultrafast time-resolved X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS)techniques. Namely X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and Extended X-ray Absorption FineStructure (EXAFS). Data from a time-resolved pump-probe synchrotron radiation experiment was

This thesis explores the experiences of international and domestic higher education students in the U.S. during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. By using an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) approach the aim of the thesis, in the first place, is concerned with students’ experience during national and global lockdowns with social distancing and isolation and, secondly, with the structural c

The concept of Industry 4.0 is widely discussed among scholars and business leaders alike. Being able to adapt to this fourth industrial revolution is argued by many as necessary to stay competitive and to be profitable. Many companies today, however, have production lines built on legacy systems, as well as their own unique product challenges. This study aims to overcome these challenges by explo

Due to the changing climate, rainfall in Sweden is expected to increase with about 20%-25% during this century which means that there is a need for climate adaptation to mitigate the problems that follow heavy rainfall. A way to climate adapt cities is by implementing bluegreen solutions. This study is about a system of blue-green solutions in a residential area in Lund. The system consists of fi

Studier av palaeostormfloder ger bakgrund till inom vilka intevall stormar av olika storlek förväntas återkomma och träffa olika områden. Denna information kan användas vid modellering, riskbedömning och stadsplanering. Genom att använda de marina ekvationerna av Nittrouer och Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continental sheStudies of palaeostorm surges provides background into at what frequencies storms of different magnitudes are expected to return and hit different areas. This information can be used when modelling, doing risk assesments and city planing. Using the marine equations of Nittrouer and Sternberg (1981; The formation of sedimentary strata in an allochthonous shelf environment: the Washington continenta

In 2017 the Upper Secondary School Act [Hereafter gymnasielag/en] was adopted in Sweden and provided temporary residence permits and a chance of permanent residency to ‘unaccompanied refugee minors’ who previously had been denied asylum. This study includes voices of four young people who have managed to fulfil this journey from temporary permits to permanent. Moreover, three people who through va

Bakgrund: Världshälsoorganisationen, WHO, deklarerade Covid-19 som en pandemi den 11 mars 2020. Viruset satte snabbt sina spår på byggbranschen och det ledde till vidtagna åtgärder. Lösningen som gick efter folkhälsomyndighetens centralt styrda restriktioner handlar framförallt om att undvika fysisk kontakt och skapa en säker och god fysisk miljö för arbetarna. För att säkerställa en god arbetsmilBackground: The World Health Organization, WHO, declared Covid-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The virus quickly left its mark on the construction industry and this led to measures taken. The solution that followed the public health authority's restrictions is above all, avoiding physical contact and creating a safe environment for the employees. To ensure a functionate environment, the const

The board at the Student accommodation house Michael Hansens Kollegium (MHK) in Lund, Sweden was interested to investigate if the building Benzelius 2 could benefit from having a solar system installed on it’s roof. The report shall answer on what eventual costs and savings the solar system would result in. The report shall give the board of MHK an indication whether to invest or not. Several meth

This qualitative mixed methods case study aims to seek understanding of employer branding within the public sector from a New Public Management perspective. The chosen case is two campaigns from the Swedish Armed Forces of 2011 and 2019. Due to political changes in Sweden, the Swedish Armed Forces faced major organizational changes regarding their staffing. Through a text analysis of the commer

Trots att textilindustrin är den näst mest klimatpåverkande industrin i världen efter oljeindustrin, med enorma miljö- och hälsoproblem som följd fortsätter textilkonsumtionen öka. Inte minst drivet av efterfrågan av så kallad ”fast fashion”, moderiktiga plagg till lågt pris med låg hållbarhet och snabb omsättning. Med begrepp som ”hållbart mode” har industrin istället haft ambition att producera Although that the textile-industry is considered the world’s second most climate affecting industry, consumption seems to never cease. The Swedish start-up project Streamateria provides new opportunities through a distributed production-line that offers bio-degradable garments through 3D-printing technology, with the ambition to meet consumer demand for "fast fashion" The aim of the stu

Bakgrund: Hot och våld har ökat i samhället och är idag ett stort och växande problem. Hot- och våldssituationer ökar även mot blåljuspersonal vilket har föranlett en ny lag mot blåljussabotage. Ambulanssjukvården är verksam i hot- och våldsbelastade och otrygga miljöer och tidigare forskning visar att hot och våld mot ambulanspersonal upplevs förekomma i allt större utsträckning. Tidigare forskni

I februari 2023 avslog Stockholms polismyndighet två ansökningar om allmän sammankomst för koranbränning utanför två ambassader. Besluten kom sedan att rivas upp i förvaltningsrätten men polismyndigheten har överklagat domarna. Myndigheten argumenterar i besluten att det inte vore möjligt att garantera ordning och säkerhet vid sammankomsterna eller i omgivningen på grund rikets hotbild presenteradIn February 2023 the Swedish Police Authority in Stockholm refused two applications for public assembly containing intentions to burn the Quran. In April, the refusals were dissolved by the Court of administration and subsequently the Police Authority appealed. In the two initial decisions the Police Authority argued that order and security could not be guaranteed during the requested assemblies d

The focus of this thesis is the myths and ideologies inscribed into the aesthetics, narratives and gameplay of post-apocalyptic videogames. The aim is to discuss how the conditions and conventions of the game medium shape what is presented to us as a modern, secular form of apocalypticism. The case studies presented are the two well-known videogames Fallout 4 and The Last Of Us. The research focus

To accurately determine the efficiency and range of an electric vehicle, one must be able to estimate the rolling resistance of the car. This is currently done using standardized methods developed under laboratory settings, where transient aspects and effects of varying temperatures are excluded. Given the strong correlation between tyre temperatures and the rolling resistance, determining this te

Inom den svenska inkomstskatterätten används ibland civilrättsliga begrepp som utgångspunkt. Även om detta ofta kan ske problemfritt uppstår ibland frågan om en rättshandling på grund av omständigheterna i fallet ska beskattas enligt dess yttre form, eller om den i stället ska beskattas enligt sin verkliga innebörd. Domstolen har i vissa fall kommit att omkvalificera rättshandlingar vars innehåll Swedish tax law often utilizes concepts derived from civil law. The use of these concepts is in many cases without complications. However, occasionally, the question of how a specific transaction or other act of law should be qualified arises; should the act be legally qualified and taxed according to its form, or should it be legally qualified and taxed according to its “real meaning”. There are

När det kommer till våldsbrott är det vanligt att gärningsmannen varit berusad vid brottstillfället och ofta är berusningen en bidragande orsak till att gärningsmannen har begått brottet. Berusning gör ofta att gärningsmannen inte har någon minnesbild av gärningen och uppsåtsbedömningen är förenad med svårigheter då gärningsmannen vid gärningstillfället var så berusad och jagfrämmande till den graWhen it comes to violent crimes it is common that the perpetrator has been drunk at the time of the crime and often the intoxication is a contributing factor to the perpetrator committing the crime. Intoxication often means that the perpetrator has no recollection of the course of events at all. The assessment of intent is associated with difficulties as the perpetrator at the time of the act was
