This thesis investigates how the integration of post-combustion carbon capture (PCC) systems would affect combined heat and power (CHP) plant performance, using DWSIM, an open- source process simulation tool. A case study on a CHP plant in southern Sweden was conducted, with models simulated for both baseline and CCS-integrated operation. DWSIM proved accurate within a relative error of under 3 %

Seminar date: June 4, 2025 Course: BUSN79 Authors: Ebba Rysjö Lindholm and Tilda Loudd Advisor/Examiner: Niklas Sandell/Liesel Klemcke Five key words: Account Theory, Legitimacy Theory, Crisis Communication, Allra, Financial Scandal Purpose: To examine how Allra, the Pensions Agency, Politicians, and Auditors used external communication to legitimize their actions throughout the Allra scanda

Human Activity Recognition (HAR) from wearable sensors is often constrained by limited labeled data and varying device placements. This thesis investigates a Transformer-based self-supervised approach that learns representations via a masked reconstruction and noise-injection pretext task, followed by fine-tuning on smaller labeled datasets. Experiments on WISDM, REALWORLD, and OPPORTUNITY confir

The All Pairs Shortest Path (APSP) problem is ubiquitous in computer science. The problem consists of finding for any vertex pair, the weighted shortest paths in a network with real-weighted edges. The problem has been studied thoroughly, both for dense graphs, where the number of edges can be quadratic in the number of vertices, and for sparse graphs, where the number of edges is considerably low

This Master’s thesis studies the effect of infrasound acoustic waves on heat transfer enhancement for industrial purposes. Previous research has demonstrated the cap ability of infrasound to cool steel uniformly, with performance comparable to forced convection. This opens the possibility of increasing the efficiency of the cooling process while also enabling new potential cooling methods for diff

Detta examensarbete har fokuserat på att modernisera styrsystemet för reservpanna 3 vid Hetvattencentralen i Landskrona, genom att ersätta ett äldre SCADA-baserat system Uniview med ett modernt distribuerat styrsystem (DCS) ABB 800xA. Arbetet har genomförts i samarbete med Deterministic Control AB, och med Landskrona Energi AB som slutkund. Syftet med examensarbetet har varit att uppnå en fullstänThis thesis focuses on the modernization of the control system for Backup Boiler 3 at District heating plant in Landskrona. The objective was to replace an outdated SCADA-based system, Uniview, with the modern Distributed Control System (DCS) ABB 800xA. The project was carried out in collaboration with Deterministic Control AB, and with Landskrona Energi AB as the final customer. The main goal was

This bachelor thesis explores nonbinary people’s experiences of joy and community, as well as how we are affected by social exclusion, anti-gender ideology, unintelligibility, and questions about whether nonbinary people actually exist. The aim of the thesis is to contribute to crucial efforts to amplify the voices and experiences of nonbinary people. Through interviews with five nonbinary people

The human brain has a built-in capacity to perform selective hearing, allowing us to focus on a single speaker in noisy environments while subconsciously filtering out background chatter and other noise. This ability is colloquially known as the cocktail party effect and is often impaired in individuals with reduced hearing or other neurological conditions. This results in an overall reduced quali

Solar energy is one of the most promising solutions for the energy crisis due to its wide availability and cost-effectiveness. Solar cells have long been used to convert solar energy to electricity, but due to the high cost and difficult processability of the widely available and commercialized silicon solar cells, replacing them with new technology has always been of interest for researchers. Rec

Despite increased attention to gender equality in entrepreneurship, women remain significantly underrepresented in entrepreneurship and receive a disproportionately small share of funding. One underexplored factor contributing to this disparity is gendered questioning during investor pitches. The study aimed to explore how gendered questioning shapes confidence and self-perception, and to investig

The EU is reforming its Emissions Trading System (ETS) to increase the price on emissions, phase out free carbon allowances and thus accelerate decarbonization. Alongside these reforms, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has been introduced to mitigate the risk of carbon leakage, imposing tariffs on carbon-intensive products imported to the EU. While CBAM will be beneficial for many EU-

This study investigated how acoustical challenges, specifically changes in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), affect the neural tracking of attended and ignored speech in individuals with hearing impairment. The analysis began with the speech envelope and was progressively extended by incorporating phonetic information as well as outputs from all layers of OpenAI’s Whisper model. The goal was to gain a

Non-binary character appearances have grown in the film and TV show industry, slowly turning its absent history into intelligible or unintelligible visibility. This qualitative research study analyzes non-binary representability in Nimona (2023) and The Umbrella Academy (2019-2024), which involves unclear and unconfirmed character identification spread by the mass media. This form of “queer-coded”

Forest plantations play a crucial role in the livelihoods of Rwandan people. They provide valuable wood resources, such as timber and biomass energy. The first plantations created in the colonial period from 1920 to 1948 contained only exotic Eucalyptus species, which is thought to out-perform native species in terms of more rapid wood production. Over time, this resulted in the domination of non-

The selective separation of glycoproteins is essential in biomarker discovery, glycoprotein profiling and analysis. Glycosylation of proteins has a major impact on their structure and function. The heterogeneity of glycosylation patterns makes the glycomic profiling extensive, but nonetheless of upmost importance for the deeper understanding of metabolic pathways, cell signalling and the impact of

I denna uppsats vill vi skapa djupare förståelse för hur konsumenter mellan åldrarna 23-75 år reagerar och agerar i sin matkonsumtion under en tid av stigande matpriser och en ansträngd ekonomi. Uppsatsen ämnar därmed att visa hur konsumenter upplever sitt faktiska beteende inom ramen för matkonsumtion och hur världsliga omständigheter inverkar på beteendet. Utifrån syftet besvaras uppsatsens fråg

This study investigates the corrosion behavior of a magnesium-zinc (Mg-Zn) alloy in a simulated body-like environment, with the aim of optimizing its degradation rate for biodegradable medical implant applications. These implants are designed to support bone healing and then gradually degrade once no longer needed, thereby eliminating the need for additional surgery. Magnesium alloys are promising

In an increasingly satiated fashion market where products often resemble each other, storytelling has emerged as a key strategy for differentiation, emotional engagement and brand loyalty. This thesis explores how storytelling is used as a strategic tool in brand building within the fashion industry, using the Swedish premium rand ATP Atelier as a case study. Through a qualitative research approac
