An increase in protein alternatives is necessary to feed the rising global population healthy and sustainable food. Dairy alternatives are one way to provide more environmentally and animal-friendly products. Next to plant-based drinks (PBDs) used as milk alternatives, plant-based yoghurts (PBYs) are becoming more popular. PBYs are produced by fermenting water-based extracts of plants and are expe
This thesis will explore Ernest Hemingway’s depiction of the crisis of masculinity in The Sun Also Rises (1927) with a focus on how the novel portrays the change in gender norms following World War I. For the main body of the thesis, I will use R.W. Connell’s theory of hegemonic masculinity and expand slightly in my discussion section with Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity. I wil
Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the key factors that contribute to the success of corporate apologies issued in response to a crisis. Methodology: This paper uses a qualitative research method. The primary data was collected in the form of case studies of 30 apologies across three decades and multiple industries. These cases were analyzed using relevant theories foun
This study investigates the potential for sustainable building practices in the sub-Saharan regional context, using small- and medium-scale sandcrete block production in Tanzania as a case study. The research combines a literature review on sustainability challenges in the region with insights from two semi-structured interviews. One with a local practitioner who regularly collaborates with small-
In this thesis, we evaluate the side-channel security of the NIST HQC post-quantum cryptosystem by analysing the official FPGA decapsulation implementation. A hardware wrapper was created to interact with the HQC decapsulation modules, enabling ciphertext decapsulation with precise power trace capturing using a ChipWhisperer CW305 and Husky setup. A dataset with 20k power traces was generated from
As plastic pollution in aquatic environments persists, gaining a deeper understanding of nanoparticles has become increasingly important. Yet, the question remains: what happens to plastic as it breaks down into smaller components, and ultimately, what end products are formed? Current plastic degradation methods are limited in their environmental applicability and efficiency. This study aims to pr
In the modern world religion is loudly wielded with anti-environmentalist and authoritarian consequences, following the footsteps of historical religious entanglement with industrial and capitalist values. In the context of intentionally co-creating an alternative future, this study argues that it is central to engage with religious environmentalism to highlight a different heritage and cosmologic
Hybrid detectors, consisting of semiconductor sensors bonded to a readout Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), are widely used for single-photon detection in photon science and high-energy physics. The Timepix3 readout chip provides precise Time-over-Threshold (ToT) and Time-of-Arrival (ToA) measurements, making it a valuable tool for sensor characterization. This thesis presents the

Övergången till en hållbar textilindustri, såsom textilåtervinning, kräver förbättrade metoder för hantering av färgämnen. För närvarande finns inga generella, industriellt implementerade processer som avlägsnar färgämnen utan att skada dem, och examensarbetet undersöker detta tillsammans med Rewin Textiles AB. Företaget återvinner polyester genom depolymerisering och därför utvärderas implementerThe transition towards sustainable textile approaches, such as textile recycling, requires im-proved methods for handling dyes. Currently, no real industrially implemented processes exist that remove dyes without damaging them and this thesis investigates this issue together with Rewin Textiles AB. This company recycles polyester through depolymerisation and therefore, the implementation of a pre-
This study looked at a fluorocarbon-free water-repellent treatment on different types of polyester textiles in order to test the durability of the treatment in simulated wear-and-tear tests in collaboration with Thule Group. This research was being done in order to gain a deeper understanding in the strengths and limitations of the C0 Water-Repellent (C0WR) treatment on polyester textiles. The stu
This thesis investigated how driving is affected by low visibility due to wildfire smoke. Virtual reality experiments with a driving simulator were performed with 89 participants. The software and hardware configuration mirrored the experiments by Rohaert et al. (2025) in order to compare the results. Participants drove five scenarios with different levels of smoke and were instructed to behave as
Den skotska regeringen har åtagit sig att genomföra en rättvis omställning till en klimatneutral ekonomi till år 2045. En viktig del av klimatarbetet inkluderar restaurering av natur, för att minska utsläpp av växthusgaser och öka upptag i koldioxidsänkor. Regeringen driver för ökade privata investeringar i restaurering av natur, genom bland annat generering av kolkrediter. Denna studie syftar tilThe Scottish Government has committed to achieving a just transition to a net-zero economy by 2045. As part of its decarbonisation strategy, it has promoted private investment in nature-based solutions through the development of carbon credit schemes. This thesis examines the extent to which carbon credit schemes in Scotland – specifically the Peatland Code and the Woodland Carbon Code – support a
This master’s thesis examines similarities and differences in operational work, training, and the use of technology related to Smart Firefighting in Sweden and Hong Kong. Smart Firefighting has been proposed as a response to challenges arising from modern urban development, where data from smart buildings, combined with AI and digital tools, could support fire and rescue services. However, such da
Title: Mr. Tweet – A qualitative study examining the leader-follower dynamic on social media Seminar date: 17th of January 2025 Course: FEKH49, Business Administration: Bachelor Degree Project in Organization Undergraduate Level, 15 credits Authors: Natalie Hellman, Albin Persson, Kajsa Ridström Supervisor: Nadja Sörgärde Key words: Leadership, social media, X, supporters, and Elon Musk Purpose:
This thesis investigates a new type of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) architecture which combines a phase/frequency detector (PFD) and a digital loop filter. The quantization is done by a time-to-digital converter which continuously shrinks the pulse coming from the PFD and registers how far it propagates. Based on how far into the TDC each pulse propagates, the phase error is determined. The design is f
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate how a new touchpoint has emerged due to the customers or potential customers sharing their customer journeys on social media through user-generated content. Methodology: This paper takes a qualitative approach where netnography research has been conducted to collect data on the social media platform TikTok. After the collection process, the d
The Arctic heath tundra ecosystem is undergoing rapid transformations driven by climate change, which particularly affects snow accumulation and the length of the growing season. In this study, I examined the influence of snow depth on parameters such as water content, soil temperature, microbial activity, and nutrient availability and investigated their implications for plant water availability a
