Abstract In Sweden many older closed municipal landfills lack current safety measures such as bottom liners and contain hazardous materials that are today strictly regulated or banned. Emissions from these pose a threat to health and environment now and in the future, having the potential to contaminate soil, groundwater, surface water and air. Risk for exposure is often increased due to poor doc
The research aims to understand and explore the process of memory politics that has underpinned the redevelopment of Vӓstra Hamnen’s built environment, and the extent to which these considerations have actively shaped the urban design of the area, for better or worse, in relation to the values Malmö Stad have sought to express through the area’s narrative shift. The research has endeavoured to ach
As global industries face increasing pressure to adopt circular economy principles and comply with sustainability regulations, packaging has emerged as an important strategic driver. This thesis explores the case of a global industrial manufacturer and how it can enhance its packaging innovation capabilities and align with upcoming regulatory frameworks, such as the Corporate Sustainability Re
International, external evaluation of doctoral education and quality stamp By performing an international, external evaluation of doctoral education as a whole, the Faculty of Medicine had the opportunity to obtain advanced feedback on the quality of doctoral education, and to chart possible development areas.

This report presents how far NCC current VDC tools and methods in building construction can be implemented in road and infrastructure projects also what new tools, methods that can be created helped by pre-selected software’s. VDC is well developed within the construction of building and research and resources in the field have been spent under a longer period of time unlike in road and infrastruc
In the present time, the rate of environmental degradation requires us to use all available means to avoid further damage and restore the environment to the best of our possibilities. Education is an important channel to promote environmentalism and sustainability, and to promote pro-environmental individual decisions, especially regarding consumption and purchasing patterns. The case study analys
Dagens textilindustri är starkt präglad av fast fashion, en global industri som bygger på stora inköp och små marginaler vilket leder till en överproduktion där 40 procent av de textilier som tillverkas globalt aldrig kommer ut på marknaden. Detta resulterar i bristande arbets- och levnadsförhållanden i produktionsländer samt enorma utsläpp. Med hjälp av politiska incitament och teknologiska framsToday's textile industry is strongly characterized by fast fashion, a global industry based on large purchases and small margins, leading to overproduction where 4 percent of the textiles produced globally never reach the market. This results in poor working and living conditions in producing countries and huge emissions. With policy incentives and technological advances, we can move towards l
We report on the study of six similar buildings built in an area of Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1971, which are now in urgent need of renovation. However, the owner of the buildings - a municipal housing company did not achieve a financially viable renovation of the pilot project. This meant that renovation on a similar basis for the remaining five buildings would not be possible. For this reason the h
According to the waste hierarchy principle, which constitutes the basis of European waste legislation, waste prevention and re-use are considered – most of the times – better waste management options than recycling. However, prevention and re-use activities are difficult to operationalise and measure, without a monitoring framework in place. This contribution investigates the potential of re-using
Purpose: Global megatrends such as urbanization and ageing of the population result in fast-paced demographic changes, which pose different types of challenges for different regions. While many rural municipalities bear the burden of under-used buildings, cities are in a hurry to develop new ones to meet new space demands. The purpose of this paper is to assess the potential of relocatable modular
This paper investigates the decision-making processes of mayors on the municipal level in Brandenburg, Germany, to support 100% renewable energy policies as well as the respective key success factors. Three different cases and their specific settings are examined: (1) Turnow-Preilack with Germany's largest solar power plant, (2) Prenzlau, a town claiming the title 'City of Renewable Energy’ and (3
ABSTRACTObjectivesAn emerging body of research reveals a heightened risk of gambling problems among elite athletes, particularly among males, but these studies often suffer from small sample sizes and lack diverse representation across sports and groups. This study aimed to investigate gambling problems and their correlates among elite male and female ice hockey players in Sweden’s top leagues.Met
This master thesis investigates how a manufacturing company develops and implements packaging solutions for sustainable development, using ASSA ABLOY as a case study. Focusing on the sliding door operator produced at a manufacturing plant in Eastern Europe, the study explores the environmental and economic impacts of packaging throughout its life cycle and the internal packaging innovation process

This thesis work is an academic study investigating how to transform and re-purpose the abandoned hydroelectric powerplant, Hästbergadammen. The powerplant has been abandoned since the dam collapsed in 2010, and the case of rebuilding it has been in the Land and Environment Court since 2016. The thesis proposes a new purpose for the site. It suggests giving back a public monumental place where t
