Denna studie undersöker hur svenska kommuner förbereder sig för implementeringen av NIS2-direktivet, med särskilt fokus på övergången från NIS1 till NIS2. Genom en kvalitativ metod med semistrukturerade intervjuer analyseras organisatoriska, tekniska och strategiska anpassningar i kommunernas cybersäkerhetsarbete. Studien identifierar nyckelområden såsom ledningens ansvar, styrmodeller, samarbete
Industrial policy regains interest in politics and academia to drive economic growth and solve challenges. However successful implementation remains challenging, and it lacks consensus on a common framework. Hence, firstly the study synthesises existing principles and frameworks into a comprehensive framework of principles for industrial policy for the 21st century. Secondly, it examines the align
The HIBEAM experiment ventures to measure the theorized coupling between neutron spins and an effective oscillating field caused by axion-like particles. The experiment will use Ramsey interferometry to probe shifts in neutron polarization due to discrepancies in the Larmor frequency of the traveling neutron. To realize a successful experiment, a prototype beamline named the short-HIBEAM will be b
The goal of this research is to investigate how the use of provocative place branding, by companies, influences audience engagement with national identity, from a sensemaking perspective. The study specifically investigates how audiences, in the case of residents of Denmark, make sense of provocative content and how it influences their sense of place and national identity. The answered research qu
This thesis investigates how startups in Tier 2 European cities achieve sustainable growth by engaging with their local entrepreneurial ecosystems. While prior research has largely focused on major capital cities, this study aims to understand how emerging urban canters with less mature infrastructures can still support high-growth entrepreneurial activity. A qualitative research design was employ
Reconfiguring Warehouse Operations at CEPA to Improve Performance:A Design Science Study for Operational Efficiency
Betsockerprocessen är en energiintensiv process där ångdriven indunstning används för att avlägsna stora mängder vatten från den upprenade tunnsaften, som innehåller det från betorna extraherade sockret. I takt med industrins önskade fokus på energieffektivisering har membranteknologier för förkoncentrering av tunnsaften fått ett ökat intresse. Trots lovande resultat i ett begränsat antal försök åThe beet sugar process is an energy intensive process relying on steam evaporation to remove large amounts of water from the purified thin juice containing the sugar extracted from the beets. As the industry seeks greater energy efficiency, membrane technology for pre-concentration of thin juice has attracted interest. Limited trials have shown promise but fouling, sugar losses or high osmotic pre
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 %
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
Research question: "How do young women construct and perform aspirational identities through the Clean Girl aesthetic on digital platforms?" Purpose: The purpose of this study is to expand the understanding of how trendy aesthetics on digital platforms like TikTok shape users’ identity construction and self-performance. Theoretical perspective: Two main theoretical fields, aspirational
Global food systems are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, energy volatility, and geopolitical disruptions—threatening the security and stability of perishable supply chains. This thesis investigates the potential of aseptic packaging technologies, specifically ultra-high-temperature (UHT) treatment and sterile filling, as a means to reduce energy consumption and enhance resilience in the
In the evolving landscape of digital entrepreneurship, social media influencers (SMIs) have emerged as strategic actors navigating complex stakeholder environments to sustain long-term business viability. While existing literature extensively addresses branding, authenticity, and audience engagement, it often overlooks the strategic coordination required to manage stakeholder relationships across
Översvämningar i urbana miljöer är en växande utmaning i Kigali, Rwanda, särskilt i informella bosättningar där snabb urbanisering och bristfällig infrastruktur ökar risken. Denna studie syftade till att identifiera centrala hinder och drivkrafter som påverkar implementeringen av översvämningsåtgärder inom uppgraderingsprojekt, med särskilt fokus på naturbaserade lösningar (NBS). Genom intervjuer Urban flooding is a growing challenge in Kigali, Rwanda, particularly in informal settlements where rapid urbanisation and inadequate infrastructure increase flood risk. This study aimed to identify key barriers and drivers that influence the implementation of flood risk measures in residential upgrading projects, with a specific emphasis on the potential of nature-based solutions (NBS). Stakehold
Electricity grids are essential to industrialized societies, yet they are increasingly unable to meet the dual demands of increased electrification and electricity system decarbonization. Smart grids offer a solution to these challenges by integrating information and communication technologies into the physical grid. However, despite their potential, smart grid implementations often fail to delive
As the demand for sustainable and efficient energy systems continues to grow, integrated energy solutions have sparked interest in materials that combine multiple functionalities within a single structure. Rather than serving a single purpose, such materials could store energy, catalyse chemical reactions, and even exhibit optical changes, enabling novel applications in smart devices and material
This thesis examines how Sweden’s new development policy, Development for a New Era, reconfigures the agency of its civil society organizations (CSOs). The policy marks a major shiftin Sweden’s foreign aid landscape, moving from a human rights– and needs-based approach to one driven by strategic, trade, and migration interests. Drawing on a qualitative analysis of interviews with CSO staff and med
This study focuses on the chromatographic analysis of neonicotinoid pesticides in bumblebee samples. Analyzing these residues presents significant challenges due to the complex biological matrix and the critical need for high detectability to meet regulatory limits. Furthermore, many conventional chromatographic methods are often time-consuming and rely on substantial volumes of hazardous organic
