The product H2 is a new heat exchanger produced, manufactured and sold by Heatex. It has an excellent surface efficiency, in large parts because of its slim features. The slim features does however have a drawback. It isn’t as mechanically stable and robust as its earlier cousins. The product tends to deform plastically in lifting conditions, especially the heavier versions needs extra support or,
This thesis analyses ten indepth interviews on domestic workers, class and gender roles with ten young, politically inclined and often adamantly feminist women towards the upper end of the Indian class spectrum. It aims to deepen the understanding of employerworker relations and gendered domestic roles in contemporary Indian households. Previous literature on the middletoupper class employers of d
Global warming and climate change is getting a serious issue and a great environmental threat that affects many aspects of life and our ways of living on this planet. The negative effects of climate change are endangering our communities, health and economy. Global warming can be considered as a main reason for sea rising levels, extreme heat which is responsible for many forests’ fires, severe dr
I Sverige finns många förorenade områden med klorerade lösningsmedel och Färgaren 3 i Kris-tianstad är ett av dem. Där har tidigare legat en kemtvätt som använt sig av PCE (Tetrakloreten), där spill och läck-age har förorenat stora delar av fastigheten. PCE och dess metaboliter har en tendens att förorena stora volymer, vilket gör dessa ämnen svåra att sanera. Detta mastersarbete inriktar sig på a
The coastal city of Kalmar is known as an attractive summer destination, both locally and internationally. The coast has long been included as one of the municipality’s priority goals. In its city development vision, the municipality strives to utilize the coast and take it into consideration in urban planning. On the other hand, Kalmar has a historic character, which is visible through its urban
Stadsodling– ett verktyg med potential för omställning, beroende på hur det värderas Det finns flera anledningar till att odla i staden – fritidsintresse, stärkt integration eller möjlighet till försörjning. Stadsodling kan stärka stadens sociala, ekologiska och ekonomiska hållbarhet i stort. Men denna studie visar att det trots dess potential finns tydliga hinder. Hindren uppstår eftersom stadsoThe complexity of climate change creates a need for multifunctional solutions. Urban farming is a tool with potential for adapting and transitioning society. While not a new phenomenon, the incentives have changed and therefore contemporary characteristics for urban farming need to be further examined. This study analyzes how urban farms are valued and central barriers together with drivers. Opera
Personuppgifter och användarinformation har länge använts av företag som en grund för att kunna optimera och utveckla tjänster. I takt med internets explosionsartade framväxt har dock denna användning kommit att få ett större kommersiellt värde än någonsin tidigare. Detta på grund av att teknikens utveckling har medfört att allt större delar av vår vardag sker i anslutning till en internetuppkoppl
We are daily moving in different landscapes for various reasons; sometimes we are looking for specific activities and sometimes just to move from one place to another. Common for this is the affect the landscape can have on us and how it gives us different experiences. In this essay I seek answers to what is important for people when they visit the nature for recreational purposes. What factors do
As the demand for eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics grows, Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) emerges as a promising solution. Derived from renewable biomass sources, PEF embodies sustainability principles by reducing reliance on finite resources and minimizing environmental impact. PEF is synthesized from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key monomer which upon polymerization has the
Due to the climate crisis we are facing, we can no longer consider current construction methods, which contribute to 40% of global CO₂ emissions, as an alternative to building. Vernacular architecture, in comparison, offers a sustainable alternative. People have experimented with this approach to designing, constructing, and living throughout time. This system essentially stands for maximizing eff
Foton för forskning och framtiden Kan lösningen på ett forskningsproblem vara din smartphone? Om vi frågar grundarna till projektet CoastSnap är svaret ja! CoastSnap är ett så kallat medborgarforskningsprojekt, vilket innebär att allmänheten deltar i forskning genom att hjälpa till med datainsamling. Kusten är ett utmanande forskningsområde, och i och med klimatförändringarna och den stigande havThe coast is an ever-changing environment, and due to climate change, coastal research is becoming more challenging. To detect changes in the coastline, such as erosion, researchers need large amounts of data over long periods of time. Part of the solution could be the citizen science project CoastSnap – a global community beach monitoring program. The aim of this study was to examine factors that
De flesta associerar förmodligen ordet katalysator med bilkatalysatorer där smutsiga avgaser från fordon renas genom att gasen får reagera med syre och därmed bilda mindre skadliga produkter. Så kallade heterogena katalysatorer är ofta metalloxider och de används i många industrier för att möjliggöra kemiska reaktioner. Ett sådant exempel är Formox-processen, där en katalysator bestående av järnmoIn the Formox-process, methanol is converted to formaldehyde via partial oxidation on a heterogeneous iron-molybdate catalyst. To an extent, the formed formaldehyde (FA) is over-oxidized into carbon monoxide (CO) which cannot be recycled into FA. As CO affects the environment negatively and decreases the process economy, internal attempts have previously been made to decrease the CO formation of t
Cities today globally face significant problems in the context of the climate crisis. Firstly, in terms of resilience in enduring future challenges – urban heat islands, increasingly frequent flooding, supply chain disruptions, sea level rise among others. Secondly, in terms of contributing to said crisis, through carbon emissions, the erosion of biodiversity through sprawl, overconsumption, and c
Låneförbuden i den svenska aktiebolagslagen (ABL) utgör kapitalskydds-regler och innefattar två separata förbudsbestämmelser. Först, ett generellt låneförbud, ofta benämnt som förbudet mot närståendelån, som specificeras i 21 kap. 1§ ABL. Detta förbud hindrar aktiebolag från att låna ut pengar till exempelvis styrelsemedlemmar, aktieägare i bolaget, eller andra bolag inom samma koncern. För det anThe loan prohibitions in the Swedish Aktiebolagslagen (ABL) constitute capital protection rules and mainly encompass two separate prohibition provisions. First, a general loan prohibition, often referred to as the prohibi-tion against loans to related parties (närståendelåneförbudet), which is specified in ABL chapter 21, section 1. This prohibition prevents Swedish limited companies (Sw. aktiebol
Både Sveriges rättsväsende och makthavare gjorde avsteg från gällande processrätt på 1600-talet. Den samtida lagstiftningen uppställde stränga regler för rättegången, bevisvärderingen och straffen. Trolldom hade utgjort ett brott enligt lagstiftningen sedan medeltiden. Med förändringar inom rättsväsendet utökades brottet, samtidigt som anklagelser om Blåkullafärder och djävulspakter spred sig övBoth the Swedish Judiciary and rulers made deviations from applicable procedural law in the 17th century. The contemporary legislation set up strict rules for the trial, the evaluation of evidence, and the punishment. Sorcery had constituted a criminal offense according to the law since the Middle Ages. With changes within the Judiciary, the crime was expanded, while accusations of journeys to Bl
For those who experience development-induced displacement and involuntary resettlement, they have to confront a range of adverse consequences, including the impoverishment risks, lifestyle and livelihood changes, and the precarity brought by asymmetrical power relations. Based on a case study of the Three Gorges Project (TGP), this research investigates the role of state law in shaping the identit
Drainage of peatlands causes changes in water table (WT), vegetation and decomposer community. As a consequence, decomposition patterns and carbon dynamics change, which is visible in altered Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) concentrations in ground and soil water. Additional changes in precipitation patterns towards more extreme drought and rain periods, as expected with climate change, cause furth
Forest ecosystems are important actors in climate change mitigation strategies through their abilities to act as both carbon sinks and sources. The commonly used forest management strategy of clearcutting has been suggested to be paired with large greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the need for research on the climate effect from alternative management strategies. Rumperöd forest is managed thro
