Product Service Systems offer companies the possibility to reduce environmental impacts by diminishing resource consumption, raw material extraction and waste generation. The concept focuses on a system of products, services and supporting networks with the aim of transitioning from selling the benefits of a product rather than the actual product. Naturally, incentives are created for companies to
Vietnam's entry to market economy as a result of its "doi moi" programme of reform, shifted the responsibility of education financing to households.

Trafficking of children is usually portrayed in a way that most times&semic the children are trafficked across borders from country to country for purposes of being economically explo
The purpose of this thesis is to highlight the phenomenon of “Sex for Grades” in Liberian universities as an intrinsically relevant category of study by illuminating the relationships between agency and structures; structures that may be enabling or constraining. We do this by analysing how female students use their tactical agency and apply this to the theory of social navigation, a theory that h
This thesis provides an account of the storage strategies for mitigation of excess electricity production (EEP) from wind energy in the Öresund region of Denmark and southern Sweden, characterized by an increasing share of wind power. Hydrogen is a versatile storage technology with potential in both large and small scale options, and for utilization in several application areas. TIS framework and
The aim of this thesis work was to investigate and evaluate new possible industrial applications for large welded plate heat exchangers, with heat transfer areas of at least 500 m2. The research has been carried out through thermal design of heat exchangers for a total of nine cases. The nine cases are real-life applications for processes covering the petrochemical, oil & gas, power, and refin
Research question: What conditions promote or hinder business model innovation for sustainability in the field of upcycling and how do these conditions interact? Methodology: This single-case study is characterized by applying a qualitative research approach and an inductive reasoning with a systematic and transparent approach. The research conducted semi-structured interviews as the main source
Sierra Leone struggles with one of the world’s highest rates of teenage pregnancy. Reducing the rate of teenage pregnancy and ensuring access to education for all are key to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls. This is not only a top priority for the government but also an essential part of ensuring the human rights of the population and achieving inclusive development, as rec
This thesis will examine the plausibility of exchanging protocol from a normal server-client to a peer-to-peer solution for over-the-air updates, using a single case study for Sony Mobile Communications AB in Lund, Sweden. It will examine the effort, the risks, and what the actual gain may be comparing to a client-server approach for over-the-air software updates. Sony Mobile today uses a content
This thesis is a descriptive case study of the institutional measures to improve women’s representation in Chile between 2015 and 2022. Women in Chile have historically been underrepresented because of two institutions introduced by former dictator Pinochet: the 1980 constitution and the binomial electoral system. In 2015, Chile reformed its electoral system to replace the binomial system with a
Under the background of the rapid development of social media, video storytelling plays an essential role in the development of a brand. More and more videos with the personal brand have become popular among the public. However, in the context of the storytelling approach, personal branding through storytelling has been rarely reported in the literature. In this study, showing the YouTuber, Li Ziq
Denna kandidatuppsats undersöker gällande krav på mens rea för att företagsrepresentanter ska kunna hållas juridiskt ansvariga för medverkan i krigsbrott begångna av Stater inom ramen för icke-internationella väpnade konflikter. En alltmer vedertagen uppfattning är att företag som bedriver affärsverksamhet i konflikthärjade områden kan ha en negativ påverkan på den aktuella konflikten samt, i vissThis thesis examines the levels of mens rea required for corporate actors to be held liable for complicity in war crimes committed by States in non- international armed conflicts. The notion that corporations acting in conflict- torn areas can affect negatively upon the state of conflicts and in some cases even contribute to the commission of war crimes by other actors is becoming increasingly acc
The world continues to boil due to capital’s incapacity to resolve its climatic contradictions. Stratospheric Aerosol Injection (SAI), a technological process theorised to instantly reduce global temperatures, has piqued the interest of a now desperate ruling class. Given its worldwide impacts, enormous risks, and capitalist- imperialist reproductive capacities, it is crucial to engage with SAI wh
This report aims to investigate the possibilities to implement a high temperature heat pump at a Dow facility in Landskrona. By implementing a heat pump, waste heat from the production can be recovered and reused in the process. The question at issue is whether there will be enough energy available when needed due to an intermittent process, and if a heat pump will be feasible to implement. To inv
The enzyme dermatan sulfate epimerase 1 epimerizes glucuronic acid on chondroitin sulfate into iduronic acid giving dermatan sulfate resulting in increased flexibility of the glycosaminoglycan. The increased flexibility results in changed interactions with some proteins such as growth factors, cytokines, and angiogenic factors, and recent studies suggest that it also plays an important role in the

Upplevelser hos människor som söker asyl eller flyktingstatus präglas av olika prövningar och svåra upplevelser innan, under och efter migrationen, vilket gör dessa individer mer mottagliga för att utveckla psykisk ohälsa. Denna scoping review syftade till att kartlägga och utforska relationen mellan postmigrationsstressorer (såsom utmaningar relaterade till legal status, ekonomi, boendesituation,Experiences of people seeking refuge and asylum are characterized by diverse adversities before, during, and after migration, making these individuals more susceptible to developing mental ill health. This scoping review intended to map and explore the relation between post-migration stressors (such as struggles related to legal status, finances, housing, and discrimination in the context of reset
In the State of Oaxaca in Southern Mexico exist abundant natural resource and excellent wind conditions. Currently in the region of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca has an extensive area with wind farm projects due to their excellent wind speed conditions. A large wind energy plant – the Project Mareña Renovables that since their origins started in 2004 with Preneal Company. It was planned to
Examensarbetet undersöker möjligheten att låta avbördningskapaciteten – det vill säga sambandet mellan vattennivå och vattenföring – vara vägledande för bedömning av underhållsbehovet i åar och diken. Den potentiella nyttan av en sådan metod bedöms vara hög då den skulle kunna minska frekvensen av omotiverade underhållsinsatser som påverkar vattenmiljön negativt. Arbetet utgår från ett dikningsförThis master thesis project investigates the possibility of using stage–discharge relationships for evaluation of river maintenance demands. In Sweden, the potential benefit of this type of methodology is considered high, in order to prevent unnecessary maintenance activities which are harmful for the aquatic environment. The study is focused on a ditching organization in Höje River in southern Swe
In the 2014 Swedish national election the Sweden Democrats, a radical right-wing and anti-immigrant party, established itself as the third biggest party and as an outcome, racism has become an everyday issue of the society. This can be seen everywhere, not least in educational settings where, for instance, insulting language use, violation of integrity, sexual harassment and hate crimes are common
