The study therefore intends to create an understanding of how consumers cre
There are a number of existing and new biofuels on the Swedish market. These operate differently and need to be managed in different ways. In order to solve problems associated with the transport sector's large and unsustainable energy consumption and emissions of CO2, it is important to study how biofuels can work in practice and gain a broad knowledge of prerequisites for their mainstream ma

This thesis explored the application of pre-trained transformer models in detecting suicidal ideation in social media posts. We leveraged social media data from platforms like Reddit and Twitter and applied a robust hyperparameter random search strategy to fine-tune and evaluate existing transformer models. Despite noise in the fine-tuning data, the models demonstrated high performance in identify
Context: We present an kinematical analysis of 90 F and G type dwarf, turn-off, and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. These stars were observed with high-resolution spectrographs during gravitational microlensing events This allowed for their ages, abundances, and radial velocities to be ascertained while they were significantly brighter. Plotting these stars as [C/O] vs [O/H], it is revealed

Internally, coherence is essential for the Union's democratic legitimacy, as democratic influx comes from the Council. Externally, to the extent incoher
Shared e-scooters are sometimes presented as a sustainable mobility option, but their environmental impact depends on their utilization. When utilization is low, idle e-scooters increase operational costs and decrease overall energy efficiency. This thesis explores whether neighborhood-level built environment and socio-demographic characteristics influence the usage efficiency of shared e-scooters
The textile industry, dominated by fast fashion, has caused significant environmental and social harm. Its complex global long supply chains, spanning multiple countries and production steps, increases the challenges related to traceability, transparency, and accountability. To address these issues, the European Union has introduced the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which w
