In order to achieve a sustainable development, there is a need for cooperation between different levels within society. A municipality plays an important role in facilitating sustainable development since it is the institution that lies closest to the citizens and organizations. The 2030 Agenda and the SDGs play a leading role towards a more sustainable development with its purpose to contribute t
Under de senaste decennierna har friformsframställning, även benämt som 3D-utskrift, utvecklats snabbt inom både industri- och hobbyområdet. När nya applikationer upptäcks måste både material och metoder undersökas och utvecklas i samma takt för att inte hämma den kreativitet som 3D-utskrift framkallar. Materialet som vanligast används i 3D-skrivare är i filamentform, vilket produceras i storskaliFor the last decades, the subject of Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D-printing, has been rapidly developing in both the industrial and recreational fields. As new applications are discovered, materials and methods have to be researched and developed at the same pace to not stunt the creativity that 3D-printing brings out. The material most commonly used in 3D-printers are in a filament for
The private sector is expected to take ownership and contribute towards achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and considering the innovative nature of start-up companies, they can be seen as key players. Though, they lack the guidance needed to assess the performance within the SDGs. Moreover, the literature within the field of sustainability assessment tend to focus on larger f
Det blir allt mer populärt att spela eller gamea som man oftast säger. Framförallt gäller det unga killar som identifierar sig som gamers. Gaming-kulturen har växt otroligt fort de senaste åren och vissa gamers kan till och med leva på att gamea som sysselsättning, i någonting som kallas esport. Esport är ett område som det inte pratas så mycket om och därför är det intressant att undersöka. SyfteMore and more people are getting into gaming. Mostly young males who identify themselves as gamers. The gaming culture has grown rapidly over the last few years and some of the best gamers in the world can make a living by playing games. Esports is a new field that does not get much attention which makes it interesting to study. The purpose of this study is to increase knowledge about gamers'

In this Master’s thesis we examine why public libraries, in different municipalities in the same city region, have chosen to make different decisions regarding the libraries accessibility during the covid-19 pandemic. These institutions are forced to show evidence of adaptability and competence to handle a situation of an unpredictable crisis with rapid turns and major consequences as a result. Th
This research focuses on universal basic income (UBI) and what potential societal effects an implementation of such a benefit could have. While many opinionated papers circulate within the academic debate, this thesis tries to systematically bring together, interpret and critically evaluate the scientific publications that are relevant to the analysis of the implementation of UBI. This in combinat
Dagens bil- och lastbilsindustri upplevs ha komplexa produktionssystem med relativt höga tillverkningskostnader, varav en stor del kan kopplas till arbetskostnader vars arbetsmoment utgörs av komplexa och icke ergonomiska monteringsuppgifter. Genom att automatisera sådana uppgifter kan produktiviteten öka samtidigt som arbetskostnader och sjukfrånvaro minskar. Många produkter och monteringsoperatiToday's car and truck industries are perceived as having complex production systems and relatively high manufacturing expenses, such as labour cost, which is usually combined with complex and unergonomic assembling tasks. A shift towards automation is one solution to eliminate such tasks while increasing productivity and lowering labour costs. Many products and assembly operations are designe
In the early 1980s, during the darkest years of Pinochet’s dictatorship, an apparently innocuous but radical decision was made: to implement an old-age pension system based on individual accounts mandatorily administered by private for-profit entities called ‘pension fund administrators’ (‘AFPs’, by its acronym in Castilian), in which the workers’ social security regarding old-age pensions was in
Produktion av sterilt vatten är en energikrävande men essentiell process inom läkemedelsindustrin. Idag finns tre metoder för framställningen av sterilt vatten, nämligen flerstegsdestillation, mekanisk ångkompression och membranfiltrering. Syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka en ny teknik, termisk ångkompression, på uppdrag av Aqua-Nova AB. Den nya tekniken innefattar en ejektor som integreraProduction of sterile water is an energy demanding but essential process within the pharmaceutical industry. Today there are three methods for production of water for injection, these are multi effect distillation, mechanical steam compression and membrane filtration.

Resource consumption is becoming increasingly scarce with an increase in the global population. Due to the increased resource consumption, the current linear economy model is unsustainable in the way it operates. The limitations of the linear economic model have been at the forefront to aspire circular economy in practice. Numerous factors have identified the need for the circular economy to emerg
