Norway has Europe’s highest share of renewable electricity production and the lowest power sector emissions. Thanks to the country’s stable power production, Norway has affordable and stable access to electricity, leading to industries choosing to relocate to the country. To keep this industry, the country needs to meet the increasing electricity demand and ensure it is still competitively priced.
The intention was at first to design a toy with support and feedback from Brio and so on a visit to their head office in Malmö took place in the beginning of the project. After the visit and further reading about the subject, the project took a different turn. The most interesting aspect of toys became play and the feeling of it; playfulness. The focus hence became on an emotion instead off an
Abstrakt Bakgrund: Stroke är den vanligaste orsaken till funktionshinder i världen och både prevention och akuta behandlingar har förbättrats. Trots framsteg inom strokevården lider personer av funktionsnedsättningar. Känslomässiga reaktioner som chock, rädsla, ångest, ilska och sorg är vanligt efter en stroke, och några patienter upplever att de psykosociala behoven inte tillgodoses av person
This thesis explores the potential of integrating predicted founder personalities, based on the Big 5 Personality Framework, into Machine Learning (ML) models to enhance the accuracy of early-stage startup success predictions. Leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques, we extracted personality insights from founders' tweets, focusing on US startups funded between 2013 and 2015. O
Background: Alleviating poverty is critical for achieving sustainability (Zomorrodi et al., 2019). One business approach to alleviate poverty is the Bottom of the pyramid (BoP) approach which implies engaging the poor in doing business, and including them into supply chains with both profitability and poverty alleviation as objectives (Brix-Asala et al., 2021). The populations living in the BoP ar
This thesis investigates how methods of aerodynamic validation can assist a formula student team in designing their aerodynamic package. When de- signing their aerodynamic components, formula student team mostly rely on CFD software simulations, but there is no guarantee that the simulations de- pict properly the physical behaviour of the airflow around the car. For that, aerodynamic validation is
Nature-based solutions (NBS) can provide a range of benefits to tackle acute sustainability challenges in an enduring and cost-effective manner. Increasing recognition of the value of these solutions has led to their adoption across the globe. However, a majority of NBS projects are implemented with public funding, though the participation of the private sector is vital to achieve comprehensive op
The purpose of this study is to examine how housing quality has changed over a span of 50 years. The aim is also to investigate how sustainable development has evolved during the same period, with the intention of drawing conclusions regarding the changes in sustainable development within the construction sector. A quantitative method has been employed, involving the collection of numerical data a
Streamflow analysis helps us understand the availability of water resources in a region or a river. Accurate and timely streamflow monitoring is essential to improve our understanding of the hydrological cycle. Streamflow information is also necessary for many applications, such as irrigation planning, watershed management, hydropower products, flood control, and integrated water resources managem
The development of digital technology affects our whole society, and the cultural heritage sector is no exception. The aim of this thesis is therefore to map practical experiences of digitization and cataloguing of older material at Lund University, both from a library perspective and a research perspective. To achieve the purpose of the study, qualitative interviews have been conducted with libra
The exact workings of amelogenin (AMG) as a key-regulator in the formation of enamel is still to be determined. It has been observed however, that AMG promotes tissue-regrowth and has promotive effect on e.g., osteoblastic cells and could therefore be of interest for medical applications. This project aimed to utilize AMG’s self-assembly properties to fabricate a protein-based biomaterial for cult
Denna masteruppsats undersöker den snabbt växande europeiska marknaden för laddning av elbilar, med fokus på integrationen av batterienergilagringssystem vid laddningsstationer, särskilt för snabbladdning med likström. Genom intervjuer med branschintressenter och experter, samt en omfattande litteraturgenomgång, identifierar studien en eskalerande efterfrågan på batterisystemlösningar. Denna efter
The main goal with the thesis was to design, construct and evaluate a system able to drive and brake a mechanical axis to simulate loads and stored rotational energy - a hardware force simulator. The force simulator was then to be integrated in a existing hardware-in-the-loop testing rig to enhance the mechanical dynamics of door simulations. The force simulator was to be realised using a brushed
The world needs rapid transformation if we are to shift towards more just and regenerative socio-ecological futures. In merging scholarly fields of transformation studies, regeneration and ethics of care this thesis explores the connection between inner-outer regeneration through the in-depth study of a transformative caring process. With a focus on lived experience and affects, this study conduct
The European Spallation Source (ESS) infrastructure is being constructed in Lund, and will be one of the most powerful research facilities of its type in the world. The ESS linear accelerator (linac) utilizes different accelerating sections where a wide variety of techniques should be employed to accelerate a beam of protons to 2 GeV kinetic energy through Radio Frequency (RF) cavities before bein
English teachers in Swedish upper secondary school often focus on Standard British and American English, although they agree with the syllabus that different varieties of English should be included in teaching. This study aimed to investigate to what extent English teachers include different varieties of English in the classroom. Previous work has failed to provide a comprehensive overview of the
In the sedimentary bedrock of southwest Scania, located in the southernmost part of Sweden, there are several low-enthalpy Mesozoic sandstone aquifers situated at different depths. These aquifers collectively hold the potential for direct-heat geothermal utilization. Given the energy supply challenge across Europe, there is a growing need to characterise the geothermal resources and quantify their
The consideration of sustainability issues in different fields of law is increasing due to the urgent call for climate change after the year 2015, with the adoption of widely known sustainable development goals. As a consequence of the European Green Deal, EU competition law has started to play its role for the sustainable future. The possible application of Article 102 TFEU as a ‘sword’ to attack
As the climate on earth deteriorates, actions are carried out within Europe to limit the amount of hazardous emissions to lower the environmental consequences due to greenhouse gases. A significant proportion of the emissions can be linked to the construction sector and its use of virgin resources. An area with great development potential within the construction sector is linked to its management
