Hur kan restmaterial från stålindustrin användas för att minska uttaget av naturresurser? Ett vanligt användningsområde av exempelvis stålslagg är som konstruktionsmaterial vid sluttäckning av deponier. Genom att använda slagg för detta ändamål kan mängden deponerat material minska, samtidigt som man kraftigt minskar behovet av vanligt täckmaterial, såsom grus och jord. Stålslagg kan även användasA variety of excess material is produced in the processes used in the scrap-metal based steel industry. The largest stream of material, by volume, is steel slag. Since slag material has very different properties and wide differences in its chemical composition its usage can be found in different sectors. The increased understanding of slag and its properties has made companies less prone to divert

The aim of this study is to examine different subjective income levels perceptions of security in relation to intelligent camera surveillance. The police argue that the intelligent surveillance cameras will increase the experience of feeling secure. Camera surveillance was a controversial practice even before the implementation of AI and its implementation means that "smart" functions ca

The concept of sustainable investing has gained importance in recent years, considering the growing share of sustainable investments compared to the total volume of global investments. The rise of sustainable investment has not only led to changes on the part of investors, but also to changes of a strategic nature on the part of companies. In this context, Green Mergers and Acquisitions represent

As algorithmically-driven content moderation has become a common feature of social media platforms to suppress communications deemed undesirable, scholars have started to examine users’ relations to algorithmic systems and problems of machine bias and governmentality. While most researchers have focused on the negative aspects of censorship, few have explored the possibilities of users to oppose a

In Italy, all aborted fetuses are required to be buried. However, when thousands of fetuses graves were found displaying a cross with the name of the person who had aborted, the practice was contested. The aim of this study is to examine the justifications behind the mobilization of the pro-life and pro-choice movements in Italy around the practice of the burial of aborted fetuses. Through the ana

For decades international research has shown that children in out-of-home care have poor dental health compared to their peers. Although new and more rigorous health regulations have been introduced to the Swedish child welfare authority system, this has not been enough to solve the problem. The aim of this study was to examine how child welfare secretaries relate to regulations concerning their r

The global semiconductor industry has benefited from a period of intense geographic specialization, yet faces the growing prospect of a new era of turbulence in international trade relations. Severely disrupted by exogenous shocks in global supply chains, the ability of the industry to cater to ceaseless demand growth is jeopardized by an increasing number of initiatives proposed for most industri

Detecting anomalies in loT sensor devices for humidity is crucial for the maintenance and safety of households and buildings. An Auto-Encoder (AE) can detect anomalies in sensor data. However, the reality is that most sensor data is unlabelled, while it is recommended to use labelled data when training the model for anomaly detection with AE. Therefore together with Sensative AB we developed a Lon

Industrial design can double up in protected, by copyright protection as well as registered community design protection within EU. Thus, there can be seen a tendency for right holders to take comfort in copyright protection.2 The boundaries between the scope and extensions of the protection forms are not clear, neither to legal professionals nor the industrial professionals. The purpose of the th

Under Covid-19 pandemin bromsades hela världsekonomin, arbetslösheten ökade både i Sverige men även i den resterande världen. För att stimulera ekonomin använder sig ett flertal länder av ett program som heter kvantitativa lättnader för att stimulerar ekonomin. Det är därför centralt att undersöka om de är kvantitativa lättnader som ledde till de accelererade aktiemarknaderna under Covid-19 pande

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if Swedish sustainable funds, which invest in Swedish companies and are registered in Sweden, have a higher risk-adjusted return than Swedish traditional funds. The main purpose is to evaluate the risk-adjusted return during the pandemic Covid-19 and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. We construct two different portfolios; one sustainable and one traditional p

Food scarcity is a common occurrence for farmers in the rural Himalayan regions. As fruits and vegetables are a crucial part of most farmers' diet, food deficiency can become evident in between harvesting periods, when there is no fresh supply. A lack of proper storage facilities and preservation methods further amplify this as the commodities that are stored can start to rot. The farmers do t

Denna uppsats behandlar de tre rekvisiten stipulerade i inkomstskattelagen som behöver vara uppfyllda för att ett företag skatterättsligt skall konstituera ett investmentföretag. Bedömningen gällande huruvida ett företag uppfyller ett, eller flera, av rekvisiten för investmentföretagsstatus har dock inte alltid visat sig vara oproblematisk i praktiken. Uppsatsens syfte är således dels att redogöraThis essay deals with the three necessary conditions, stipulated in the Swedish Income Tax Act (“Inkomstskattelagen”), needed to be met in order for a company to be able to constitute an investment company. However, determining whether an entity satisfies one or more of the criteria for investment company status has not always proved to be unproblematic in practice. The purpose of the essay is thu

En radar använder elektromagnetiska vågor för att kunna skicka och motta signaler. Precis på samma sätt som att våra öron, ögon och tungor är mottagare och vår röst och vårt kroppsspråk är sändare av signaler till världen omkring oss. För både människan och för radarn så behövs det skydd mot omgivningen. Till exempel, har våra ögon ögonlock och vår röst är dold inne i halsen. Utan ögonlock skulle The radome, a portmanteau of the words radar and dome, is a protective dielectric cover to protect a radar from its surrounding environment. The surrounding environment can be rain, wind, sand, dust and whatever else that might harm the radar. Radomes come in many different shapes, materials and thicknesses, where each of these parameters are decided based on the need for the given radar applicati

Sweden has a long history of colonialism in the Sápmi region where the state repeatedly has claimed land at the expense of reindeer husbandry and the Sami culture. The Swedish government has never recognized its colonial history and is still today claiming land for various projects, often covered by wording about sustainable development and a green transition. The purpose of this thesis has been t

In Sweden there has been an increase in neuropsychiatric disabilities over the last few years.This has led to many discussions, both in science and politics as well as amongst regular people. But the most valid and knowledgeable source of information about life with a neuropsychiatric disability is the people living with it themselves. The aim of this paper is to research individuals' experien

Aktivitetsanalys av enzymet PARP16 och dess koppling till cancerterapi Cancer är ett ord som troligtvis berör på ett eller annat sätt. Vare sig om man drabbas själv eller inte, så påverkar det alla om det så bara är en närstående till en som blivit drabbad. Studier inom proteinkemin har länge varit av stor betydelse då proteiner spelar en nyckelroll i DNA reparation. En enzymfamilj som är av storResearch in cancer is an ongoing project which not only includes finding more efficient treatment therapies, but also achieving a greater knowledge of how proteins of interest are targeted by inhibitors. Furthermore, research in this field can give us greater knowledge about the development of cancer cells if they are modified. One enzymatic protein family, the PARPs, has been widely studied for d
