A widely researched aspect of Aldous Huxley’s work is his later years’ advocacy for psychedelic drugs, in which he came to develop a strong psychological and philosophical interest. While the early novel Brave New World (1932) presented the fictional ‘perfect drug’ soma in dark, authoritarian tones, the autobiographical essay The Doors of Perception (1954) evaluated the experience of mescalin ther

Previous analysis on these plays have focused on how broader societal issues affect the characters in
This thesis examines how Yumna Al-Arashi’s Aisha negotiates the tension between the potential for empowerment and the risk of exoticization in its photographic representation of tattooed women. Aisha is a photobook and artist’s book that combines portraits, landscapes, archival family photographs, and written fragments. It begins from the absence of Al-Arashi’s greatgrandmother’s facial tattoo in

Hur kan ett övergivet järnvägsspår och stationsområde förändra Staffanstorps identitet? Historiskt sett var järnvägslinjen en viktig katalysator för stadens industriella tillväxt främst kring den lokala sockerfabriken. När passagerartrafiken och sockerindustrin upphörde förvandlades det långsträckta spårområdet till en fysisk och mental barriär. Staffanstorp är idag en expansiv pendlingsort med s
Energiåtervinning från avfall utgör en central del av det svenska fjärrvärmesystemet, men står inför stora utmaningar till följd av klimatmål och cirkulär omställning. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att analysera hur plastmängden som går till förbränning kan förändras fram till år 2045, och hur det i sin tur påverkar förutsättningar för energiåtervinning. Arbetet analyserar utmaningen på två niWaste-to-energy (WtE) is a cornerstone of the Swedish district heating system, yet it faces significant challenges due to climate targets and the transition towards a circular economy. The purpose of this thesis is to analyse how the amount of plastic directed to incineration may change up until the year 2045, and how this, in turn, affects the conditions for waste-to-energy.

What would it mean for a building to never be finished? This thesis starts from that question. Looking at informal settlements, specifically the umkhukhu in South African townships , buildings there grow bit by bit, use whatever is available, get taken apart and rebuilt. There is no completion date. The thesis takes that seriously, not as something to fix, but as a way of thinking about what h
Protein therapeutics need to be formulated into an amorphous solid state to be stabilized, and this is efficiently done by spray drying together with a sugar matrix excipient. The characteristics of the produced powder are strongly dependent on process parameters, and therefore, spray drying offers the possibility of advanced particle engineering. In this thesis, trypsin was spray dried as a model
