Environmental pollution caused by human activity is one of today's biggest dilemmas. Pollution in air, water and soil can pose risks to human health and the environment and can lead to a reduction in available resources. Investigating and remediating contaminated areas is therefore an important task. In the past 20 years, there have been two major spills of gasoline and diesel at the Energy Po
Despite growing interest in sustainable communication, current research provides limited insights into how consumers perceive sustainable communication from fast fashion brands. Existing studies broadly address sustainable communication on social media but rarely focus on specific industries. White et al. (2017) noted that consumer reactions to CSR initiatives remain underexplored, particularly in
Timber structures are increasingly growing in importance and utilization. A contributing factor to this trend is the introduction of cross-laminated timber (CLT). CLT is an engineered wood product comprising layers of wood made up of multiple boards, alternately referred to as "lamellae". Each layer is positioned perpendicular to the next and bonded together with adhesives. CLT is mostly
Klimatförändringar i kombination med förtätning av städer kommer leda till ökade översvämningsrisker i stadsmiljö. Hållbar dagvatten- hantering kan bidra till att minska dessa risker och innebär att ytligt avrinnande vatten fördröjs så nära källan som möjligt, fördelaktligen genom naturbaserade lösningar. Kvartersmark utgör ungefär 70% av marken i svenska städer och det saknas såväl tydlig lagstifThe combination of climate change and urban consolidation will lead to increased risk of pluvial flooding in urban environments. Sustainable stormwater management can decrease these risks by using measures for surface runoff to be detained locally, preferably through nature based solutions. Private properties constitute about 70% of the land in Swedish cities and there is a lack of clear legislati
The fermentation process is deeply ingrained in human history, not only for preservation but also for enhancing the nutritional value of foods. In the contemporary context, the surge in global food waste is driving innovative solutions, with surplus bread being explored due to its high rate of wastage. Simultaneously, there is a growing interest in reviving traditional fermentation practices amid

The order-to-delivery (OTD) process for a specific product group at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems (AAES) has been underperforming lately and failing to meet changing customer expectations, especially regarding reliability and speed. The current process configuration has been assessed as outdated and inadequate for efficient distribution of the product. Since the OTD process was configured, supply ch
Young people with complex needs are a vulnerable group who may be involved in crime, or substance abuse, have mental health problems, and be unemployed. It is a vulnerable group that may have several ongoing contacts with authorities. In this study, staff in child and adolescent psychiatry and municipal activity for youth employment centers have been interviewed. The purpose has been to highlight
The modern society is associated with widespread sound recording in public environments as well as in the workplace and at home, which motivates an increased use of speech anonymisation techniques in recorded audio. A demonstrative example is masking recorded speech in hospitals' waiting rooms for eavesdropping listeners inside a control room, thus ensuring privacy of information. This thesis
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand how national culture plays a role in consumer perceptions through a comparative case study of three different ethical skincare brands from three different countries. Methodology: This study makes use of a qualitative research method, data collection is done through semi-structured mediated interviews of 20 participants from 14 different c
Background Rugby is a high-impact sport with significant injury rates. Injuries are common and rehabilitation is often needed. For optimal rehabilitation, a knowledge of injury surveillance concerning current description of injuries, prehabilitation and rehabilitation is necessary and moreover, the differences in these matters regarding men and women’s teams.

Stirred tanks are essential components in design and optimization of food processing lines, as they assure proper mixing and homogenization of ingredients. In this context, the mixing time is one of the most impactful performance parameters affecting various process design decisions. Thus, reliable methods to accurately predict mixing times in stirred tanks are highly desired. The aim of this the
Refrigerant systems such as chillers and are widely used to create a comfortable indoor climate, often incorporated in large buildings or offices. It relies on a refrigerant circuit that lowers temperature of a coolant via a heat exchanger, called an evaporator. The coolant enters a fan coil which lowers the surrounding air temperature in a desired space and recirculates back to the evaporator at
